Chapter 5 The Forest Outside Ximu Village(2/2)
Kali's voice sounded: "We want as much as we have."
After the words fell, some young people in the distant village raised their heads.
"The terrain of that dense forest is very complex. Except for our local hunters, it is difficult for others to enter."
The old leader's groggy voice sounded.
"Eight coppers."
All the young people began to pause in their steps, and their eyes brightened when they looked at Cali.
Some of the old people were shaking their heads, looking at the young people around who were about to speak, ready to shout a scolding.
"There are a lot of wild animals there, and they can easily be in danger."
"A silver coin!"
Cali gritted his teeth and quoted the price.
At this time, he almost thought he was going crazy.
For a low-grade gemstone of unknown type, he actually quoted a high price of one silver coin?
Do you know how many raw gemstones one silver coin can buy?
That is to say, the person behind him hasn't spoken yet, otherwise he would definitely turn around and leave now.
At this moment, everyone in the village stopped.
The young man looked at their old leader with eyes shining, wishing he could immediately agree on his behalf.
The old man opened his mouth, swallowed back the scolding he was about to say, and looked at his leader eagerly.
Even the old leader himself was moved.
He almost subconsciously wanted to agree, fearing that Kali would regret it, but in the end he held it back and looked behind Kali in a vague way.
Behind Cali, the young man who had come together earlier and looked vaguely like a leader was still sitting there, looking calm, as if he was not at all frightened by the price Cali quoted.
Looking at the calmness shown by the young man, the old leader swallowed his saliva and resisted the impulse in his heart.
"Then there is a banshee's curse in that place. Anyone who goes in will die inside and even their soul will be devoured by the banshee."
The old leader stuttered and spoke.
"Old thing! You."
As soon as Kali stood up, a surge of anger suddenly arose in his heart, and he wanted to explode.
But before all this happened, he was pushed back by a hand from behind.
Yamu looked at the somewhat excited Kali, smiled calmly, and then looked at the old leader.
With Cali in disbelief, the old leader's face full of excitement, and the almost fanatical gazes of the people around him, he reported his final price.
"Five silver coins."
The people of Ximu Village finally surrendered.
It's impossible not to give in.
As the indigenous people of this area, they have many reasons to persuade themselves not to set foot in that dense forest.
But there is no doubt that in the face of enough money to kill them, these reasons are nothing.
For these mountain people, five silver coins is already a wealth that they usually only save in several years.
And this is just the price of one green stone.
If two are found, it is ten silver coins, equivalent to the price of one gold coin.
As mentioned before, one gold coin is enough to meet the consumption of an ordinary family for a whole year.
But what this ordinary person refers to is not farmers or mountain people, but the citizen class living in the city.
For the citizen class living in the city, their income is higher, but their expenses are also higher. Even necessities such as food need to be purchased.
For them, one gold coin is only a year's consumption for one family.
But this standard is obviously not the case for the mountain people in front of us.
Living in this place, they are much poorer than the citizens in the city.
Under normal circumstances, a gold coin is already the greatest wealth they can see in their lifetime.
To be honest, as far as the situation in the Black Forest Territory is concerned, even one gold coin is enough to buy a life.
The price of buying a good female slave is only one gold coin, and the price of an ordinary slave is even lower.
Under such circumstances, the price of five silver coins and one green stone was enough for the mountain people in Ximu Village to ignore all concerns.
