LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 55: Changes in Uzeris

In this "collision", it is inevitable that there will be casualties among the members of the Protection Society. In response, Rowan went directly into the room with Lux. Puna stood outside, but asked Lily to follow in to protect Lux's safety.

She planned to observe the situation here first to prevent any accidents from occurring.

But after watching for a while, Puna also followed back into the room. Well, it seems that there will be no accidents.

They are too weak. This group of people is so weak that Puna feels that even the children of Demacia can defeat them.

When Das saw Rowan go in, he hurriedly followed him in.

Then he heard this conversation.

"Are we going to clean these guys up?"

"Yes, the area around the house should always be clean."

"Home? Rowan, my home is not here. I will return to Demacia in the future."

"My home is not here either. This is just a temporary home."

".So, this is our temporary home?"

Then, Das saw that the boy who had been looking indifferent outside before became visibly nervous, and his face even turned a little red.

"Yes, yes."

"."

what's the situation?
----

In Uzeris, the local residents witnessed the demise of the Conservation Society with their own eyes. In just half an hour, the commercial street in Uzeris, which was called a commercial street but was actually just a long, shabby street, was filled with people from the Conservation Society.

Then, a dozen big men from foreign countries, led by Das, found the headquarters of the Protection Society, which was a huge house on the shore of Uzeris Port. This was the base of the Protection Society. Then, the dozen big men rushed in, leaving only one person outside to protect Das.

"Boom!"

"Clap!"

"Stab!"

It was like a landslide. The Shurimans of Uzeris only saw that the moment the group of people entered, several people from the Protection Society were thrown out. Their skulls were sunken, and they were obviously dead. Then, this huge house was destroyed. Explosions rang out one after another, and five minutes later, this building that covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters and was more than ten meters high collapsed!
The numb Shurimans finally made sounds of fear, and this sound seemed to be contagious, and more and more Shurimans made the same sounds.

Das also made a sound, his voice was the same as theirs, full of fear, but in the fear he also had a hint of excitement!

Things are really going to change in Uzeris!
"Mr. Das, I'm glad that you are willing to join our Glorious Merchants Group. Our Merchants Group is in need of locals like you, but I don't know much about the local situation in terms of salary, so can you tell me about it?"

In the Glowing Merchant Corps, Das put on new clothes, which he "picked up" from the protection society. He looked at Luo Wen, who was sitting at a low table in front of him and drinking black tea. He swallowed and said loudly: "Water, water is the best salary. As for coins, this is the local currency." Das took out a few coins from his pocket. They were simple yellow currencies, perhaps with some gold in them, but they looked heavier.

He said, "Ginserkuri coin."

Das pointed at a metal bottle on Rowan's desk. It contained hot water for making tea. He said, "A bottle of water like that would cost about five to six Kinthikuri coins, while a few beautiful scarves and nice textiles would only cost a few Kinthikuri coins."

Rowan nodded. The textiles of Shurima were very good. This might be related to the local people's superb craftsmanship and the local products. It was hard to imagine that in a place like Shurima, the meat and hair of sheep were even better than those of Demacia.

The living environment is so difficult.
But in general, trade is indeed a good way to make money. Just like now, Rowan can use water to exchange for Shurima textiles, and then take them back to Demacia to sell. The ladies in the capital will definitely like these beautiful and cool scarves, and some small products of Shurima can also be sold at a good price, such as some beautiful gems. Yes, there are many mines in Shurima, and gems are not rare things there.

For example, Hexgems?
To exchange these things, Rowan only needs to use Demacia's water and food, and the things Demacia lacks the least are water and food.

As Rowan thought about it, he reached out and picked up the currency in Das's hand and began to study it.

The currencies used in different regions of Runeterra are different. Regions with national and city-state systems basically have their own currencies in circulation, such as Demacia's gold coins, Noxus' currency, Bilgewater's currency, the Twin Cities' currency, and Shurima also has its own currency.

The situation in Freljord is different. The tribal rule of the Mother Clan has allowed Freljord to remain in the era of barter. After all, money is difficult to circulate within the tribe, especially in a backward and primitive place.

And Das said again: "But the Shurimans prefer to barter, especially in many cities in the interior. Exchanging items for items is the favorite way of trading for the Shurimans."

"This may be related to the fact that the flow of people here is too dispersed and the population in different places is not dense enough. Therefore, in many villages deep inside, the Jinsekuli currency cannot be used at all." Das said to Rowan.

"Thank you. So how much do you think your salary should be?" Rowan put the coin back into Das's hand with a smile, looked at him and asked.

His group was indeed short of a few local people. After all, only the locals understood the situation in Shurima and the prices of goods.

Das immediately said, "If you provide food and lodging, I can do it for free. Just give me two bottles of water like that every month, and I can do anything."

"for free?"

"Yes, I am ashamed to say that for people like us, having enough food is already a luxury." Das looked at Rowan embarrassedly and continued, "Before your caravan came, my friends and I were lucky to have a meal once every three days. Especially for water, when it didn't rain, we could only find dirty water to drink."

"Haven't you ever thought about using sea water?" Luo Wen asked curiously.

"Of course I have thought about it, but the cost is too high. We don't have the technology to process seawater, and the water vapor collected by burning is not enough for drinking." Das shook his head and said, "But I heard that Piltover has such technology, but we don't have the money to buy it. We don't even have our own ship."

"I understand." Luo Wen nodded.

"Then welcome to join the Glorious Merchants Group. Let's sign an agreement."

"Thank you! That, Lord Rowan, my friends."

"Let them come together, I'm short of manpower." Luo Wen said to him.

The smile on Das's face grew wider.

He nodded vigorously to Rowan.

Two minutes later, holding the signed document, Das signed his fingerprint even though he could not understand the words on it. He was gambling, but for a man with nothing, it didn't matter if he lost the bet, after all, his life was saved by the Glorious Merchant Group.

If it weren't for the Glowing Merchants Group, he would have died at the hands of the Protection Society.

He may have been dismembered into several pieces and sent to various places, especially Zaun. It is said that place often purchases human organs and limbs from pirates for use in experiments.

As soon as Das joined the Glowing Merchants Group, Rowan arranged a job for him.

"Tell everyone in Uzeris that the Glowing Merchants Group trades with everyone. We accept ancient currencies, antiques, tattered things that look like they have traces of history, and all kinds of stones. We will exchange these things with food and water."

"Okay, I'll go now."

"Remember to call your friends." Luo Wen said to him.

Das bowed to Rowan, and since Rowan didn't let him kneel, he now bowed to express his gratitude.

Then he left the Glorious Merchant Group.

"How did it really become a merchant group?" Rowan muttered quietly after Das left.

But it's not bad.

Wealth is also a kind of power. Luo Wen also needs wealth, and the Glow Merchant Group can help him accumulate wealth very well.

Shurima is poor, but it is not rich, because the ancient Shurima Empire left behind too many treasures, including magic instruments, magic gems, antiques, and ancient crafts, all of which are money.

Compared to thousands of years ago, the development and technology of Shurima today is no exaggeration to say that it has the history of the Freljord!
It really seems like there is a gap of tens of thousands of years!
Don't think that the ancient Shurimans are only powerful in magic, they also possess advanced science and technology. For example, the demigod-like Malphite was created by the ancient Shurimans. Therefore, there are many treasures on the land of Shurima, but the Shurimans and Noxians don't know how to use them.

The people who will use these treasures are the people of Piltover.

People from the two cities often come to Shurima to hunt for treasures. To them, Shurima is a huge treasure house and they can gain something every time they come.

But this time, Luo Wen also came.

Demacia, join us too!
Three days later, the commercial street in Uzeris had changed a lot.

The sand and dust on the streets were cleared artificially, and white stone slabs appeared on the ground. This was arranged by the Glowing Merchant Group. Many Shurimans helped and received what they thought was very good treatment.

They only needed to work for a morning to get a bottle of water and some bread, and at the end of the day, they could get two bottles of water and ten palm-sized pieces of dry bread. This made many Shurimans smile, because in the next few days, they didn't need to spend all their energy looking for food and water.

Das also did his job very well. He even changed into the clothes of the Glowing Merchant Corps, the clothes that only foreigners who came to Uzeris wore. However, Das felt that this clothes was not very comfortable after wearing it. Compared with Shurima's clothes, it was convenient for movement, but not sun-proof enough, and not warm enough at night. But Das liked it very much.

Because it is a symbol of his identity.

Wearing this clothes, he is a member of the Glorious Merchant Group.

"Is there anyone who wants to build the fence? The Glowing Merchants Group is hiring temporary workers. Six hours of work will give you one day's worth of supplies! That's right, one day's worth of supplies, a bottle of clean, delicious water and a few pieces of hot bread! Pair it with dried meat and make bread and meat soup, it's simply delicious!"

"The Glorious Merchants need people who understand Shurima. Do you have experience as a traveling merchant? If so, come quickly! There is work waiting for you here!"

"Has anyone caught any prey? The Glorious Merchants need a lot of meat, which we will exchange with water and coins! Believe me, I am also from Shurima, and you will know by looking at my face that the Glorious Merchants do not cheat people!"

"The Glorious Merchants Group is recruiting textile workers! Those with cotton-making skills will be given priority. The salary is 15 Jinsekuli coins per month, and food and accommodation are provided!"

"glow."

Such shouts could be heard everywhere in Uzeris.

Of course, this is also because Uzeris is too small. It is a small port town with only a few hundred people living in it. The speed of information transmission is very fast. It can be seen from the fact that two days ago, after Das and his companions shouted on the street, a large number of people carried items to line up at the door of the Glow Merchant Corps.

This place is really too small!
At the same time, while Das and his companions were helping the Glow Merchant Group to recruit people, in the Glow Merchant Group, Rowan, Lux, and Deputy Captain Carl were drinking tea.

"Lord Luo Wen, is it really okay for us to do this? If something like this happened in Xiongdu, we would be taken to court." Carl said with some fear.

Of course he knew what was happening in the outside world, but the more he knew, the more afraid Carl became. He was really afraid that what he did here would be known by the princes and nobles of Demacia, especially by the common people of Demacia.

What the hell is going on?
A bottle of water and a few pieces of bread can make people work for you for a whole day?

In Demacia, isn't it basic common sense to provide food and accommodation for temporary workers?
But here, it is completely different! This is not the first time that Carl has left Demacia. He has been to Nokmochi, Baibu Country, Xisha Small Country and other places before, but none of them is like this place!
The people here are being exploited, yet they can still laugh so happily?!

"Carl, do we force them to work for us?"

"No."

"Do we force them to trade with us?"

"No."

“Are they serious and happy when they are working, or are they angry and complaining?”

“I’m seriously happy.”

"That's it, isn't it?" Luo Wen looked at Carl speechlessly.

Lux also said seriously, "Mr. Carl, Demacia really protects you too well. Every place has its own rules. They can't even get food and water. Solving the problem of food and clothing is their biggest need now."

"Miss Mianwei." Carl pursed his lips, somewhat speechless.

He was a warrior, a soldier, and a 15- or 16-year-old noble lady told him that the country protected him too well.
This sounds so strange!

"Anyway, the locals are willing, so why shouldn't we do it?" Rowan looked at Carl.

Karl took a breath and nodded: “You are right.”

"By the way, how is the thing I arranged going?"

"I have already given the order. A small team (8 people) has been arranged to go to Nashramé. They will investigate the local situation and see who is always harassing Demacia's traveling merchants." Carl said seriously.

"That's good. We must not forget our mission." Luo Wen said.

Until now, he still didn't know that he could get out. It was not because Jarvan III really needed a team to protect the peddlers at sea, because if they really wanted to protect the peddlers at sea, that was the navy's business. The real reason he let Rowan come out was just because the noble ladies and various families were scrambling for Rowan.

Therefore, Jarvan III really doesn't care what Rowan will do in Uzeris.

No matter what he does, he will always be responsible.

And what about Rowan?

Now he and Lux ​​are really doing caravan business!

This business group is not serious. It not only does business, but also builds and provides bodyguards.
That's right, Luo Wen is working as a bodyguard.

The soldiers following Luo Wen were all young men. In the garrison area of ​​Xiongdu, they could still suppress their tempers and train peacefully, but now that they were out there, especially in a place like this, their energy was extremely high.

Especially since they are like supermen in this place, the locals are no match for them at all!
This also caused them to gradually become restless, so Rowan simply arranged a job for them, which was to serve as bodyguards for the Shurimans.

Glorious Merchants, Glorious Defense, Glorious Construction
Haha
Rowan felt that his journey in Shurima was becoming increasingly strange!

And the strange one is Lux.

These days, Rowan has seen the light in Lux's room many times!
"Why are you looking at me?" Lux noticed Rowan's gaze and asked him curiously.

Luo Wen glanced at Karl, and Karl stood up tactfully and saluted, “I have something else to do, Lord Luo Wen, I’ll leave first.”

"Ah."

After Carl left, Rowan said to Lux, "Are you practicing magic in your room?"

"How did you know?"

"How would I know? My room is opposite yours, Lux. I can feel the light you are emitting from my room at night. How do you think I knew?" Rowan said speechlessly.

"Then did they discover it?" Lux asked nervously.

The only people living in the Glow Merchant Group are Rowan, Lux, and her two guards.

The rest were arranged to live around.

Luo Wen listened, thought for a moment and said, "Probably not."

Lux breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said, "Then I will be more careful next time."

"."

Come on.

As Tiana's confidants, Lilith and Puna were arranged by Tiana to accompany and protect Lux, and they were the kind of close protection. How could they not know that Lux was a mage?
As fearless pioneers and the elite class of Demacia, they naturally know some of Demacia's secrets.

For example, there are always wizards appearing in noble families.

Therefore, as long as Lux doesn't run up to the two of them and cast magic, I think they won't react.

But Rowan obviously wouldn't say this to Lux.

He just looked at Lux who was holding the cup and started drinking tea, and smiled.

The smile was a bit silly.

Then, he also received a smile from Lux.

She smiled brightly and said loudly, "Right, it feels good to help people."

"what?"

"Ah, yes! It feels so good to help people!" Luo Wen nodded vigorously.

him
I can no longer suppress my feelings!
