Yuanshin, no one knows the harem better than me

Big Sister Beidou first said that he was a local snake on an outlying island. Since he is a local snake, can his tail reach Daozuma City?

Thomas nodded confidently: "Hehe, there will always be a way to mobilize all resources, but before that... access is also a very expensive business, you understand?"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, like those businessmen who were about to ask for sky-high prices.

Xia Tian replied bluntly: "As for Mora, I really didn't bring much! If I use your rice wife millionaire-level view of money, I'm afraid I can't give so much..."

"Hahaha, the business I'm talking about doesn't mean you have to pay Mora, but to help each other... If you want to get what you want, you have to help solve some other people's troubles first."

Thomas pointed to the signboard of the building next to it, and there were four big characters "Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce" written on it.

Returning to the game routine, if you want to meet General Thunder, you must complete the pre-quest, otherwise you will get a familiar sentence: the area ahead, let's explore later!

I'm not familiar with the place, and I'm new here, Xia Tian knows the rules: "There is no free lunch in the world, I understand, let's talk! Is there anything I can help with?"

"It's really reliable." Thomas nodded in satisfaction, and then talked about the recent troubles: "The situation is like this. As I said before, members of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations have been in a difficult situation of survival. Recently, some situations seem to have intensified. ..."

"The president of their chamber of commerce is named Jiulisu, a good friend of mine. He has been in a state of anxiety recently. I think you may be able to help him."

Thomas stood by the signboard, pointing at the foreigner with a sad face at the reception desk.

It's getting dark, so hurry up and get things done while you can still find someone.

Seeing Xia Tian go straight forward, the foreigner who was still having a headache, greeted him with a smile as much as possible: "Oh? My friend, are you here to seek the protection of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations?"

Strange foreigners come to the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce, and with their toes, they know that they must be embarrassed by the lackeys of the shogunate, so they come to ask for help... There are too many such things.

It is not easy to go out, and the Chamber of Commerce of the World will naturally help if it can, but most of the time it can only be comforted and let people think about it.

Seeing Thomas following him again, his face was even more enthusiastic: "Ah, Mr. Thomas, why are you here?"

There is a small plate of dried fruit, melon seeds, peanuts and the like on the counter, which the president uses to satisfy his hunger.

Thomas grabbed a handful naturally, and introduced while eating: "This is Xia Tian, ​​and he is my friend. He may be able to help you solve the troubles you have encountered recently."

Seeing that Xia Tian was hungry, he also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to eat, the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, Jiu Lixu followed.

In this way, the three chatted while knocking on melon seeds.

Xia Tian asked: "Is there any difficulty in the Chamber of Commerce recently?"

Jiulixu shook his head and smiled wryly: "Difficulties... being in a dilemma, bumping into walls everywhere, I'm already used to it."

Glancing at Thomas, from the affirmative smile, to confirm the trust in Xia Tian, ​​and seeing that there are no patrolling shogunate troops around, he complained:

"After the promulgation of the lock-up order, the scope of activities of our foreign businessmen has been restricted. Although we have been subject to various restrictions, we can still live on... But we can decide to pursue those mercenary guys!"

Almost gnashing his teeth, he paused for a few seconds angrily after saying the name "thief".

"High taxes, unreasonable rules and regulations, that's all..."

No matter how angry you are, in the end there is only a helpless sigh: "The worst thing is that during this time, the new tax law has just been issued, and the form of tax that needs to be paid has changed from mora to something called "crystallized bone marrow". goods. "

"Crystalized bone marrow?" Xia Tian looked at Thomas, seeking an explanation.

Thomas explained: "Actually, I hadn't heard of this thing a few months ago. Until half a month ago, an old businessman from Liyue recognized it and said that it was the material he had transported to Zhidong Country when he was young. I heard that and……"

He wasn't sure if saying the following key words would cause panic, so he whispered in Xia Tian's ear, using a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I heard that it is related to the residue of the demon god, and the "Crystalized Bone Marrow" of Dao Wife is indeed only Only near the corpse of the divine snake on Yalong Island..."

The demon god residue was collected as tax and shipped to the Winter Kingdom...

Xia Tian's face is solemn, this seems to be a more serious event than the known conspiracy of "capturing the heart of God".

However, there is not much information at the moment, and there is no time to think about it.

Continue to listen to Jiu Lixu complaining about his troubles: "Yeah, isn't it a deliberate embarrassment to ask everyone to find something that you have never heard of? But there is no way, we can only search for this "crystallized bone marrow" as much as possible, and then treat it as Tax payment. "

"But it was later discovered that this was nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. As the demand for paying taxes increased, the price of the external "Crystalized Bone Marrow" also continued to rise... until later, there was only one merchant left. In stock, you can't buy it anywhere else! "

It is easy to guess the follow-up development. After being monopolized by the merchant, the price will inevitably rise, but due to the pressure of the law, the merchant has to buy it.

So, repeated vicious circle.

Jiu Lixu lamented: "After calculation, the current "tax" is almost exceeding our profit... If this continues..."

Xia Tian still has the last trace of trust in Daozuma's "government agency": "What about the appointment? They should know about it, right? Have you discussed it?"

"According to the survey?" Jiu Lixu sneered very sadly: "In this land full of thunder, who can hear the voices of us businessmen in desperate situations?"

His gaze caught on to the pendulum clock on the counter, which was brought from his hometown, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw it: "Oh...Fontaine, Fontaine, my hometown...I miss you so much... ..."

If it was just him, maybe he would really go back.

But when he established the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations and was embraced as the president by fellow businessmen, he could not only consider himself, but also those friends who were in foreign countries.

I understand about troubles.

Thomas crossed his arms and asked Xia Tian: "What do you think of this matter? How to solve it? Are you going to persuade the appointment?"

Perhaps it was the previous sentence "Isn't this bullying honest people!" that gave Thomas the illusion that Xia Tian was a little naive, and would actually ask the silly words "to persuade the appointment to follow".

"President and the others have tried many times, right? If they can be persuaded, they won't be so troubled." Xia Tian said solemnly: "Perhaps, the current situation of the merchants is the purpose of the assignment."

Giving tax money to "crystallized bone marrow" is most likely a collusion with fools, which means that this appointment has been infiltrated by fools.

As for the businessman who only had stock, he knew with chrysanthemums that it must be the collusion between the government and the businessman.

Kanding pursues the collection of "Crystalized Bone Marrow", and then sells part of it to fools to complete the cooperation, and part of it is sold to other businessmen at a high price through the hands of that businessman to obtain a large amount of Mora, filling real taxes to pay for the upper class, and even some Make another buck.

Such a cycle, eat at both ends.

"Kan Ding's practice is rotten to the bone... Where is Dao Wife? Is it too rotten to the point of no cure? General Lei Dian, what did you give Dao Wife?"

Xia Tian clenched his fists, he never claimed to be a righteous partner, but his eyes could not tolerate these darkness.

"Who is that merchant? Where is it? What's the situation?"

Asked three times, looked at Jiulisu tremblingly with piercing eyes, and hurriedly replied: "The businessman's name is "Werner". In fact, he is not a native of Dazuma. Later, we severed the relationship. "

It seemed to be another episode of the past, and Jiu Lixu sighed again and again: "Hey, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations treated him well at first, but after being affected by various laws and regulations, all members of the Chamber of Commerce could not protect themselves... He also quit the Chamber of Commerce, and even worsened the relationship. .”

Looking at Xia Tian, ​​he begged: "As a person outside the Chamber of Commerce and a new foreigner on the island, he should relax his vigilance, maybe he can go and ask what happened... just under the tree by the sea in the residential area, there is The cargo delivery point he set up, where he should be found."

Xia Tian didn't hesitate, and immediately responded: "Understood, leave it to me!"

It was so happy, and was teased by Thomas next to him: "You are very enthusiastic about agreeing to be so straightforward! It seems that you have a lot of experience in helping people?"

"Enthusiasm?" Xia Tian didn't think so: "I'm a person who is afraid of trouble! If possible, I wish I didn't do anything..."

He stopped in his tracks, tapped the armor on Thomas's shoulder with his knuckles, and said with a perceptive look: "But there is no way, can I not accept the test you gave me? Otherwise, where can I find someone to take me to see General Thunder? Do you agree?"

Thomas was taken aback by what he said, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, you are smarter than I imagined! However, although I intend to regard this matter as a test for you, it is indeed a difficult problem that I have never been able to solve. ...If you can help solve it, I believe that the entire Chamber of Commerce of Nations will be grateful to you!"

Especially emphasized: "Don't underestimate them. Although they are restricted everywhere on the outlying islands, if you want to get some new gadgets, it really depends on them!"

Something new?Fruits and vegetables?In summer, I don't cook by myself.

The two were originally walking side by side, but Xia Tian was so aggressive that he threw Thomas a distance away, which made him very worried and suspicious: "By the way, what are you going to do with it? You won't choose to use violence, right?"

Xia Tian didn't take it seriously: "What? Can't local snakes deal with violent incidents? What kind of local snake is that?"

Look at that, it seems to be right.

After all, it is a young man who has just landed on the island!

"Hey, you also know that he is the person who is in charge of Kanding, right? If he really threatens with violence..." Thomas rarely panicked, and reminded him solemnly: "Kanding is in an outlying island, but it is more effective than General Thunder To exist, you only need a piece of official document, and you will be unable to move even a single step in Daozuma..."

"Don't worry, I have always convinced people with "virtue". "

Xia Tian did think about "threat of force", but after seeing the appearance of the businessman, he had another idea.

It turned out to be a Mond.

Chapter 650

Although Thomas is not a member of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, his close contact with it will also make that "traitor of the Chamber of Commerce" Verna very vigilant.

So, together with several businessmen who were eagerly waiting to purchase "Crystalized Bone Marrow" as tax money, he waited at a herbal tea shop in the distance, letting Xia Tian pass alone.

As night fell, most vendors began to pack up their stalls, calculating today's income and the expenses that would be used to buy "Crystalized Bone Marrow" later, and then heard a few sighs: Hey, this day is considered wasted!

As the only supplier of "Crystalized Bone Marrow" at present, Werner, who was under the tree by the sea, had just bid farewell to the shogunate officials who had come to meet him, and handed over almost all the income he earned during the day.

Every time at this time, he would ask himself: I betrayed the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, and under the persecution of Kanding Xingxing, I continued to squeeze my former partners. What did I get in the end?I just barely make ends meet, but I am restrained and cannot return to my hometown, and I am also infamous... Hey, I really want to go back to Mond, the hometown of freedom, but where can I go back!

Sighing in my heart, I didn't notice the strange man who walked in.

"Hello."

It wasn't until Xia Tian spoke that Werner woke up from the trance: "Huh? A face I haven't seen before, new here?"

Xia Tian nodded: "That's right, I just landed on the island recently."

The businessman was not polite at all, and put on an arrogance that tried to scare people away: "Why? Don't you come to Daofu for business? You should go back quickly! Liyue, Mengde, Fontaine, there is nothing better than here Good business!"

In the end, the tone slowed down, but it felt a bit earnest.

Xia Tian said: "I heard that the crystallized bone marrow used as tax money is only available here..."

"Want to buy it?"

Werner knocked on the cargo box next to it, which was covered with cloth, and it was estimated that the crystallized bone marrow was inside.

Xia Tian shook his head: "No, I want to know where these crystallized bone marrow come from?"

This question immediately raised his vigilance.

Werner shook his hand in displeasure: "Go and go, do you understand the rules? I told you the way to source the goods, can I still do my business, business secrets, do you understand business secrets?"

He used to be an astute businessman, so he raised his head and looked into the distance, and found a few businessmen in the herbal tea shed who were secretly looking this way. Made a fuss about it.

"Oh~~ I see, did the people from Jiulisu ask you to come and reduce the price?" Werner snorted softly: "Oh, it's not up to them, the price is quite a lot for me!"

He shook his hands and drove away: "Let's go, let's go, tell Jiulisu and the others that they should thank me if they can buy the goods from me. Without me, they can't even pay the job, and they dare to bargain?"

His attitude is quite bad, not like a businessman who can talk about everything at all. Regarding the crystallized bone marrow, he is completely fond of buying or not, as if he can't make money no matter how much he sells.

In order to avoid further anger, Xia Tian didn't talk about the transaction anymore, and changed the subject: "Are you from Mond?"

Only then did Werner notice Xia Tian's dress.

Although the features of black hair indicate that he is not from Mond, but the clothes are indeed from the style of his hometown, Mond, and his attitude softened a little: "That's right, you are also from Mond?"

"Well, let the wind lead you, it was "it" who asked me to come to you. "

What Xia Tian said made Werner feel a little nostalgic. In his hometown, people often talk about the "wind" of freedom when they speak.

But at the same time, I am a little puzzled, why is it called "it made me come to you"?

"It" is... the wind?

Bangs are blown.

got windy.

Suddenly, there was a wind field around, and there was actually a fresh scent of dandelions...

Werner immediately froze in place, unable to speak for a long time, a majestic feeling of homesickness rose in his heart.

Did Xia Tian want to use the breath of his hometown to influence this businessman who had left his hometown?of course not……

He planned to use more intense and direct means to interrogate in the name of Fengshen.

He tried to use elemental power to create a wind field that could show his identity, but when he drove the power with the idea of ​​"Let Werner feel the wind of Mond!", the source of power changed.

From the sacred relic of the Eye of God to the faith accumulated in the Heart of God, elemental power is continuously gushing out.

Helping the people of Mond is also considered to be for Mond, so you can gain strength from your belief in Mond, is this the understanding?

While Xia Tian was surprised, Werner stumbled and made a sound: "You don't have the eyes of God, why can you use elemental power..."

In the kingdom of thunder, ordinary people without the eyes of gods, raised such a wind field, and came to the atmosphere of their hometown...

People who go far away, after being bullied, tend to have stronger feelings for their motherland, and they will also have a higher reverence for the gods who once protected them, and they will always be in their minds.

So, subconsciously shouted: "Fengshen...you are Lord Barbatos..."

Xia Tian nodded.

Although the name is wrong, whether it is Barbatos or other names, they are just "code names". The main body of people's belief is the god who "protects the Monds".

He has never seen a god, but even if he can't believe it, he will deceive himself to believe it. Werner's grievance hidden in his heart can no longer be controlled, and he wants to find someone to confide in.

He smelled the scent of dandelions in the wind, the arrogance just now disappeared, and the sadness he missed: "Hometown...ah, I really want to go back...the free city-state...Master Fengshen, are you here to take me back? "

His identity has been locked by the survey and enforcement, and he will not be able to pass the barrier of getting on the boat... Not long ago, a girl made a raft and ran into a thunderstorm alone. He really wanted to run with her, but in the end she was too timid.
