I am God Chapter 5: : The first merchant

He stepped onto the coastline and walked along the coastline.

At night, he chased the moon.

During the day, he follows the sun.

Wherever there is light, he will go there, like a moth chasing the light, and wait until he wakes up, no one knows how long it has passed.

When he was really conscious, he was standing beside a lake, looking at a big tree burning like a fire in the distance.

Under the night sky, the tree is stretching vigorously towards the sky. The trunk is so thick that two people need to hug each other.

At the top, there are a few huge red leaves blooming like a lotus flower, and they are the only leaves.

So beautiful.

Attracting him to walk towards the other party.

When he was about to get close to the tree, suddenly there was a shout from behind, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Don't get close, it's a man-eating monster."

Someone rushed out from the shadow of the jungle by the lake and grabbed him.

And he finally came back to his senses and looked at the other party.

It was a middle-aged man with a big beard and a sleeveless tunic. He was supposed to be carrying a bamboo basket and a box. dropped after him.

He was taken by the man to sit under a rock, where the man was supposed to rest.

The man told him that it was not a luminous tree at all, it was probably a strange luminous tree, which would prey on you as soon as you approached it.

The black-haired young man listened carefully. He obviously didn't understand the other party's language, but for some reason he understood the meaning of the other party's language.

During the conversation, the tree moved.

The huge tree suddenly bent down, and its branches fell to the ground to support its body.

The leaves on the top are opening and closing, but if you look closely, it's not a leaf at all.

It's its mouthparts.

This is a bug.

It ran towards the distance, leaving a burning trace on the ground it walked, and this also confirmed what the bearded man said just now.

The black-haired young man watched the weird bug go away, and finally said the first sentence.

"Thank you for saving me."

However, the bearded man looked at the black-haired young man in astonishment, and even dropped the things in his hands to the ground.

Because the black-haired young man didn't speak at all when he spoke just now, but the voice just appeared in his mind.

The black-haired young man didn't look at the bearded man's surprised expression, but finally began to pay attention to himself.

He touched the fabric on his body, he was wearing a crew neck tunic, which was very loose and comfortable, with a fabric belt tied around his waist.

There is only one wooden-soled rattan shoe left on his feet, and the strap of the last one is broken, so it barely fits on his foot.

"It must have been given to you by a woman."

The bearded man pointed at him as he fiddled with the rattan shoes on his feet, and said mysteriously.

"Only women can weave such exquisite flowers. We usually weave our own shoes, which is how simple it is."

"Look, your shoes not only use cork as the sole, but also have withered patterns on them, they are really beautiful."

The black-haired youth said: "I don't know either."

The bearded man noticed something unusual about the black-haired youth, so he asked cautiously.

"Which tribe do you belong to? Are you someone nearby?"

After speaking, he immediately denied it again.

"It's not like, there seems to be no people like you in the nearby tribes."

"Your hair is black, it looks very special, I have never seen a tribe with black hair."

He moved closer and asked again.

"Why are you walking alone in the wilderness? It's so dangerous outside. Could it be that you were left alone during hunting and gathering?"

Youth doesn't remember at all.

He doesn't know what his name is, and he can't remember anything about himself. He just feels like he has slept for a long time, and he feels like he has turned into a stone.

He asked the bearded man: "What are you doing, why are you alone in the wild?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Finally, he pointed to the basket and box he was carrying.

"I mainly walk around with some things I find, and then every time I go to a tribe, I exchange some food with them, and I also exchange some things I usually need."

The person in front of him said a lot, and it sounded confusing.

But the black-haired young man seemed to understand.

"Oh, you're a businessman."

Although the black-haired youth speaks without opening his mouth, the meaning conveyed is more precise than his voice.

The bearded man has never had the concept of a merchant in his mind, and the tribes of this world do not have the profession of a merchant, but when he heard what the other party told him, he knew what a merchant was.

The bearded man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said loudly.

"Yes, I am a businessman."

The black-haired young man just said something casually, and the bearded man suddenly became very happy for some reason, and kept chanting the word businessman, as if this word he just learned had some magical charm.

The bearded man chatted with the black-haired young man for a long time, but he still didn't know his name, so he hurriedly asked.

"What's your name?"

He couldn't remember, but he didn't really care.

He said: "You can call me whatever you want, and I will call you Big Beard!"

The bearded man said: "Then I will call you Helfas."

It means, the person with black hair.

Bearded people and black-haired people, people in this era are named like this, simple and clear, according to each person's most distinctive features.

The name is just a name and characteristic used for addressing, without so many meanings later.

The bearded man took out a pair of rattan shoes from his basket, and handed them to Helfas, the black-haired man who just had a title.

"Your shoe is broken and one is missing. You can't walk without shoes."

He thrust the shoe into Helfas's hand forcefully, looking very generous.

"It's my gratitude to you for telling me about the career of a businessman."

The black-haired young man was a little dazed, because when the bearded man turned around to take the shoes, he saw a strange thing with the help of the moonlight, which was a tail.

"Tail?"

Watching the black-haired young man sit on the stone and put on his shoes, the bearded man also noticed this problem, the other party has no tail.

"No tail?"

"Did someone cut off your tail?"

The black-haired young man instinctively felt that it was weird for people to have a tail, but the bearded man thought it was a pity that Helfas had no tail.

But the bearded man got a little closer to the black-haired youth, and even judged another thing based on the fact that he didn't have a tail.

"You should have been driven out by which tribe."

"It doesn't matter, even if you can survive without a tribe, you can stay with the merchant and me for a while!"

"I am very experienced in how to survive."

The black-haired man put on new shoes, but he didn't throw away the old one, but put it away.

In the days that followed, he was no longer a moth chasing light, but followed the big beard towards another destination, which was a big tribe named Jin.

However, this gold does not mean gold, but metal. Copper, iron and various metals are collectively called gold in the mouth of the bearded man.

It is said that that tribe has mastered the technology of smelting and is very famous in the land of the full moon.

On the way.

He also learned the language of the bearded man, rather than the way he could speak without opening his mouth.

According to the other party, this kind of words can be used in dozens of large and small tribes in the New Moon Land, even if there are some differences, they are similar.

But away from here, there are differences elsewhere.

Helfas noticed the key: "The land of the full moon?"

The bearded man told him: "It's the name of the place near us."

As for why there is such a name, the bearded man did not elaborate.

A huge hole appeared in the jungle.

Helfas found out by accident and looked around, then walked down cautiously, and found something inside.

It was a big hard lump, it looked black, and it sounded loud when knocked.

"What is this?"

The bearded man was very surprised when he saw this thing: "Longxiang."

Afterwards, the bearded man showed a very happy expression, dancing with joy.

Wandering outside all the year round, he does have some insights beyond ordinary dragon people, and these black-haired youths who know nothing about this world can be said to be the best guide.

He told Helfas: "As long as you ignite this, it will emit a strange fragrance. After smelling the fragrance, those ordinary monsters will not dare to approach. It is a very, very precious thing for some small tribes. When you encounter danger, you can save the life of the tribe and everyone."

Although the bearded man calls it dragon incense, this thing is actually just a dragon incense produced by a sub-dragon.

The real life dragon is an existence so powerful that it is unimaginable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter their traces in a lifetime.

It was only then that Helfas knew what he brought up: "Dragon dung?"

The bearded man quickly said: "Dragon is a weird kind, it doesn't need to excrete feces."

"It's not so much feces, it's better to say it's a special thing that can't be digested in the body. For us, this is the gift of the dragon."

The black-haired youth thinks, doesn't this mean feces?

But the bearded man knocked off a small piece with a stone and handed it to Helfas to put it away, he said to the big piece of Yalongxiang.

"It's enough for us to keep that one. A small piece can be used many times by one or two people, and this one can be sold."

When the black-haired youth put it away, the bearded man warned.

"Remember, don't use too much."

"Its fragrance can dispel weirdness, but it is also harmful to us fragile mortals. We may die or go crazy after using it a few times."

"So don't use it lightly until the moment of danger."

Helfas nodded, but he instinctively felt that it was dangerous when he heard the bearded man say that he would go to another tribe to sell this thing.

"Such a precious thing, will there be any problems if you sell it?"

Why buy it if you can grab it?

The bearded man nodded, thinking that what Helfas said made sense.

"Well, you should be more vigilant."

"This way!"

"When we sell it, let's not say that we picked it up by ourselves, but say that we are merchants sent on behalf of another tribe, so that they will be afraid."

"This is what we use to save our lives. We use the last piece left over to exchange for the weird mask made by the Golden Tribe."

Helfas: "What is that?"

The bearded man said: "In addition to smelting, the Golden Tribe has also mastered a special power. It can imitate a strange face to create a metal mask. Wearing it can make other monsters think that you are also weird. This way you won't die."

"If it goes well, we will have two ways to survive in weird situations."

"If we want to survive in this world, we can master as many means as we can to save our lives."

The bearded man said with a smile while teaching Helfas the knowledge to survive in this world.

"This is what you found, except for the weird mask."

"I can also help you change into a new set of clothes by the way, a set of beautiful clothes with patterns, sewn by a girl with needles."

"After wearing it, you must be very proud."

There is no money in this era, and the tribes themselves exchanged through barter.

Helfas: "I often run outside, so wearing such nice clothes is a waste, right?"

Big Beard: "Sometimes it's not in the wild, people always need to rely on others to survive, at that time we all hope to dress more beautifully."

Put everything away completely, and the two of them set off.

There is no road in the forest where a road is forcibly carved out.

The bearded man no longer carries the burden alone, but two people carry a basket and a box on their backs and head towards the distance.

---------------------------------

The destination is finally here.

The bearded man and Helfas stood on the ground, looking at the stone buildings built along the hillside next to the water, as well as the artificially dug caves.

However, instead of a bustling and lively tribe, what caught the eye was a mess and ruins. A large number of people were moving things out of here.

Helfas: "This is the big tribe you mentioned?"

The bearded man was also very surprised: "It's my first time here too, so something must have happened!"

Helfas and the bearded man walked there.

Everyone who was busy with various actions stopped immediately and looked at them vigilantly.

The hair of the dragon people here is all yellow, not the yellow of gold, but a little like copper, with a little dark red.

Men, women and children gathered together, some surrounded by animal skins, some held long guns with metal heads.

In addition, Helfas also saw bows and arrows.

The bearded man is right, this tribe has mastered the technology of smelting.

Some people in the crowd were also talking about Helfas. Like the bearded man before, his black hair looked so different.

Seeing so many people, the black-haired young man also felt that the loneliness in his heart dissipated a little, although the eyes of these people were vigilant and guarded, and they surrounded the two of them one by one.

After a while.

Among the crowd preparing to migrate, a man came forward to ask them why they came.

The bearded man still used the same rhetoric, he hesitated when he said it, he just expressed that he wanted to find the other party to exchange things.

It seems that I am embarrassed to reveal my identity as a businessman.

It just sounds like this, which makes people feel like he is a beggar.

Helfas told the other party directly: "He is a businessman who can bring you what you need."

This kind of statement obviously has a different meaning in the ear of the other party.

It's as if the inconspicuous bearded man in front of him is omnipotent. What's more, when he looks at the black-haired young man in front of him, he always feels that the other party has something incompatible with ordinary dragons, which makes people It doesn't feel like an ordinary person.

The other party got serious and asked, "What can you bring?"

Helfas said: "We are here on behalf of the friendship of our own tribe. We have extra dragon incense in our hands. I think you should need it."

"We came here to exchange some things we need with you."

As soon as the words came out, people from the Jin tribe immediately saw exclamations, showing ecstatic expressions.

Different from the previous ecstasy of the bearded man, as if he had found a treasure and made a fortune, the ecstasy shown by the people in the tribe named Jin is the kind of ecstasy and disbelief, as if they have found a life-saving straw .

Helfas didn't find it strange either. For them who were preparing to migrate, the incense of the dragon was indeed what they needed most at the moment.

But it wasn't just this that shocked the questioner.

It was this very ordinary-looking man with a beard who claimed to be a businessman and this black-haired young man who could indeed give them what they needed.

It's as if it was predicted in advance.

The man stepped forward, grabbed the bearded man by the shoulder, and asked excitedly.

"Is there really a dragon fragrance?"

The bearded man nodded, and immediately saw cheers erupted from the crowd.

"We are saved."

"You don't need to die."

"It was delivered at this time, at this time."

"This is the shelter of the earth."

People are excitedly sending messages to each other, everyone is very excited.

The bearded man finally asked his own question: "What happened to you, why did you migrate?"

The other party said very briefly, but also very seriously: "There is a disaster."

The bearded man and Helfas glanced at each other. For the dragon people, the meaning of a disaster is mostly a strange encounter.

The other party seems to have believed that the bearded man and Helfas really have the fragrance of the dragon, which seems a bit naive to the black-haired young man, perhaps because lies are not so common in this era!

The other party arranged for everyone in the tribe to stop and wait, while he led the two of them inside.

"Follow me to meet someone!"

The three of them left the crowd together, and everyone looked at them expectantly.

----------------------------

There are two rows of people sitting on the left and right in the stone house built of big stones, and one person sits on the top.

The room only has a small skylight overhead and looks very dark.

After Helfas came in, he looked at everyone inside. Although all of them were wearing thin metal masks, it could be seen that they were basically women.

Whether it is clothing, masks or the stone houses where they live, it means that these masked women have a high status in the Golden Tribe.

It's just that Helfas doesn't understand why all the people in the tribe are migrating, but all these seemingly high-status people stay.

It's like.

Abandoned.

Sitting on the top is the leader of the tribe, a very old woman with the most delicate and terrifying mask on her head.

The bearded man feels dizzy after looking directly at it for a long time, and feels like he wants to vomit.

The bearded man whispered to Helfas, "That's the weird mask."

Helfas also guessed, but did not say.

He watched the man who brought them in walk up to the old woman, said something to her respectfully, and then pointed at the bearded man and Helfas.

The old woman's eyes lit up and she nodded.

After a while, she said, "I heard that you brought Longxiang, I don't know what you want to exchange."

The bearded man immediately said: "We are merchants who walk among other tribes for our own tribe, and want to exchange two weird masks."

Helfas also added: "Although this is the first time for us to come, it will not be the last time. If this time goes well, we will bring more things you need to your tribe in the future. "

The old woman communicated with the other masked women on the left and right sides, and then spoke to the bearded man.

"If you came before, we might be able to agree to this exchange."

"But you are a bit late now, we cannot agree to your exchange, please change your request."

The bearded man doesn't understand: "Why?"

The old woman pointed to the mask on her face: "Because what this mask brings is no longer protection, but disaster and death."

The doubts of the bearded man and Helfas did not last long, and the old woman told them the truth.

"Like the Longxiang you brought, the weird mask was also made with a weird power."

Next, the old woman hesitated.

But finally said with a sigh.

"At this point, there is nothing we can't say."

"Every monster in this world has its own characteristics and habits. If you can thoroughly understand the characteristics and habits of a monster, you can even use some of the monster's weaknesses to restrain it and use its power."

"And the mask of our tribe, even our previous smelting technology, was achieved by using the power of a strange existence of a double-phase monster."

It was only then that Helfas knew that the people in this world were not only trembling under the strange force.

In this world.

There are also some tribes who use weird powers to survive by mastering weird rules, and even use weird powers to develop their own technology.

He was a little amazed, not at the audacity of the Golden Tribe, but at the wisdom of the people.

No matter how weak people are, they can always do some miracles and seemingly impossible things.

It was also at this time that the black-haired young man suddenly noticed the patterns on the masks worn by the old woman and other women in the stone house. The patterns on the masks looked familiar. It's like seeing it before.

"Big Beard."

Helfas suddenly asked the bearded man beside him, and he didn't dare to confirm it.

"Look, doesn't the mask look like the weird pattern we saw before?"

The bearded man hadn't answered yet, the women in the stone house made voices one after another, the voices were full of panic and fear.

"Have you seen it?"

"Where?"

"What time is it?"

Helfas and Beard didn't hide anything, and talked about the weird "tree" they met when they met for the first time.

As soon as the words fell, the people wearing masks became even more frightened, and their bodies were trembling.

"Double-phase magic insect."

"It's the biphasic magic insect."

"It has come."

It has the posture of a worm and the posture of a tree, and this is the origin of its name.

The old woman sighed: "It seems that it is coming again, and the disaster is coming again."

Helfas asked back: "You mean it is coming here?"

The old woman nodded: "The last time it got out of control, half of our tribe died, and we used all the methods we had accumulated to drive it out."

"But we know that it didn't give up, and one day it will come back and eat us all."

Helfas: "Why is it so obsessed with you, for weirdness, there is no difference between people!"

The old woman: "But a large part of our tribe is contaminated with its breath, especially those of us."

"That's why we let other people migrate away, and those of us chose to stay and wait for the arrival of the biphasic monster."

"However, whether the person who leaves can escape depends on luck."

Speaking of this, the old woman's words froze for a while.

"There is another possibility."

"Maybe it hates us and is looking for us to take revenge!"

"After all, we have used it and trapped it for many years. Although all of this is for survival, Weird doesn't talk about these things to people!"

The atmosphere was a bit sad, but the beard broke the atmosphere.

"However, we brought dragon incense."

"Don't care who is right and who is wrong, revenge or not, we are all just trying to survive in this world."

"No matter what, we have to work hard to live."

Helfas put down the basket he was carrying behind him, and the bearded man helped him remove it, and then the two of them took out something from the basket and put it on the ground.

In an instant, the old woman staggered down from the top, and the man beside her immediately supported her.

The other women wearing masks were also even more excited, and immediately lay down in front of Long Xiang.

"It's really Longxiang."

"This is Longxiang, it's the first time I've seen you."

"Such a big piece, so complete."

"In this case, our tribe will be saved, and we will not have to die."

Helfas asked: "Can I help you?"

The bearded man laughed: "Longxiang is a very precious treasure."

As soon as the words fell, the old woman gathered everyone together and saluted Helfas and the bearded man to express his sincere thanks.

"Of course it can help."

"Not only that, you two can even be said to have saved our tribe and our lives."

"When the dragon incense is lit, it can not only drive away the double-phase devil insects that may come at any time, but also cover our bodies with a small breath of dragons."

"That aura will counteract the aura of the biphasic insects on us, thus solving hidden dangers."

Afterwards, the old woman and the masked woman led the two of them towards the outside, and the people outside were also waiting for the final result.

The old woman stood in front of the stone house on the hillside and greeted everyone's eyes.

"We don't have to leave for the time being, because the merchant brought the dragon incense and brought something to save our tribe."

"Thank them!"

"The two most distinguished guests have brought new hope to our tribe."

In an instant, thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd.

The soldiers kept leaning their spears on the ground, sending out a neat rhythm, some even burst into tears, and others let out a long howl like wild animals.

People hugged each other and danced. No one wanted to leave their hometown and go to the dangerous and unknown depths of the wilderness.

The eyes of people looking at Helfas and the bearded man are no longer full of guard and suspicion, but full of gratitude.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"The merchant is really amazing. When we need it most, he brings what we need most."

Perhaps in their view, this existence called merchant is not an ordinary profession, but more like a messenger of fate.

The old woman pushed the two to the front, accepting cheers and thanks from the people.

The old woman also hopes to stabilize the hearts of the tribe through this.

Among the gazes of the crowd, the bearded man had the strongest feeling and experience, and he even burst into tears like those from the Golden Tribe.

Because he used to be very humble whenever he went to a tribe, taking out his own things and begging the other party to exchange for some food for him, begging the other party to exchange some items he wanted.

He always comes alone quietly, and then leaves without being noticed or driven away.

But this time it was different, and he received a strong welcome.

Standing in front of people, he said loudly and proudly.

"Yes, I am a businessman."

"I brought what you need."

At this moment, he finally recognized his career as a merchant.

I can finally proudly say that I am a businessman.

The bearded man looked at Helfas, who suddenly felt that the black-haired man with amnesia he met on the road might be the greatest luck in his life.
