Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 279: Lost ahead

Walking out of the stairs of the maze, the surroundings immediately became lively, and other teams had already arrived.

This is the bottom of the square maze. According to Phines’s statement, the fourteen teams will stay here for a few days, not only for rest, but also to complete the transaction of living supplies with other teams by the way.

Thor looked around, and the other tribes also had pointed ears and purple skin like Phines and others, with no other characteristics.

Regarding the arrival of the Phines team, people from the surrounding tribes nodded their heads to complete the process of greeting. Although everyone only saw it three or four times a year, they had seen it hundreds of times in the past few hundred years.

Without going too far, Phines's team came directly to the open space on the third vertical road. It seems that the surrounding teams have already reserved their positions according to their respective directions of travel, which is very convenient.

Just throwing things down and preparing to camp, the tribe on the right has already started fighting. This is a labyrinth after all, and the wandering enemies, no matter how many people you have and how strong the battle is, the battle is usually on the verge of breaking out.

Fenis and others didn't mean to help. In fact, others dealt with it easily.

Saul observed the enemy with interest. It seemed to be a group of humanoid monsters with a vague appearance, but it was not a rotten corpse, more like a body molded from mud. Disgusting, slow, but tenacious, four enemies came in total.

The battle is not that difficult. It seems that everyone in the right team is in good condition, and the people involved in the battle have at least two three-star strength.

"In addition to maintaining the strength of your own team, you should also observe other teams every time the various races gather in the future, and always recognize the gap between each other in various aspects. I guess that when the gap widens, internal turbulence will appear, such as Four stars beat two stars."

Saul quietly tilted his head and said to Phines.

The warm whisper made her pointed ears tremble slightly, and Phines nodded in agreement.

In the next few days, each team started their own busy. Some sent people into the labyrinth to search for materials for production, some were busy making and trading, and Phines started to make pottery.

Pottery is not of much value in the entire trading environment, because most teams have relevant skills.

In previous years, Phines’ team had always been at a disadvantage in trade exchanges, and could only exchange some food and pottery for poor supplies. But this time the transaction has finally improved, because a certain amount of salt is reserved in the team, which is a hard commodity.

The pottery fired by the team is mainly small and medium-sized, not for trade, but for holding salt.

There are three teams in all teams that master the salt-making technology, including the newly joined Phines, and it is not enough to master the technology. It depends on whether there is any luck in the salt mine during the three-month journey. .

Saul estimated that Phines and their dark continent were destroyed at that time, and everyone had no time to look after the chaotic escape. The environment was unknown before escaping into the maze, so no one realized the importance of various production occupations.

It is conceivable that those who followed the Patriarch to flee at that time were mainly armed supporters or personal guards.

When they came to the labyrinth, there was no way out. Faced with the persecution of survival, everyone turned to think of the importance of production. Then the next step is to try your luck, whether any of your followers has the production technology, and that's why the technology is scarce at the moment.

In the past few days, Saul followed Phines and his party, taking his trade goods to various tribes. It seems that there are not many things worth changing. Sol is mainly to evaluate in detail the productivity and combat effectiveness of each team.

The two teams on the right have a population of nearly two hundred and master the technology of smelting. The goods include various common weapons such as swords, daggers and ordinary magic wands, and even a small amount of metal armor and shields.

But apart from weapons, the prices of other items are too high and the quality is normal.

This is not surprising. Armor-type armor is inherently extremely labor intensive and manpower-consuming. What's more, the team is basically on the way of fleeing every day, and rarely can stop and strike iron calmly, so this expensive price is not at all. It doesn't make sense.

According to Phines, magicians on the Dark Continent were rare. However, after being promoted to the maze, many teams have their own magicians. This reminds Sol of the demons in the continent of Salvinia. Past events of various professions.

There are also a few low-level magicians in Phines’s team, and even Phines has magical powers herself, but the magic is not strong, and she is accustomed to using short swords or short knives. Saul positioned her as a magic swordsman, and the Dark Continent did not have this profession before.

Living commodities mainly consist of linen clothes and bedding, as well as food and pottery. However, there is a team with a light silk garment, and the output is very small.

But in the environment of the labyrinth, the practicality of silk clothing is far less practical than hemp clothing.

There are also some metal weapons and a small amount of armor. Phines said that in the team of royal descendants on the far right, it is said that there are palace apothecaries, so potions are not considered as exclusive products of his team.

Saul doesn't think so. The palace pharmacist may have mastered the prescriptions of the primary to high-level potions, but this kind of labyrinth is the most practical to be honest. The materials are simple and the production process is not complicated. There will be a broad market in the future.

Although the effect of middle and high-level medicaments is better, the preparation materials should be very scarce. Moreover, the production process is troublesome. Even if the finished product is finally added to the trade list, it is bound to be extremely expensive and not suitable for the immediate market.

In this transaction, Phines did not bring salt and potions in accordance with Thor's temporary change request, only some food and pottery.

Saul believes that there is no need to show these things too early, because Phines's team is too weak, and these things and techniques are likely to become the root of the disaster, and the team's risk tolerance cannot be held at all.

At present, there is nothing short of Phines's team, so Phines still shows his weakness and poverty just like the previous few trades. Saul then took a look at the population of other teams and estimated the opponent's approximate strength.

Sol is more interested in the two teams on the left. The nearest team has the skills to make bows and arrows, with a population of more than sixty. The one a little further away is good at making tent leather armor and the like. With a population of nearly 100, it seems that he has mastered the cobbler skills.

The labyrinth is not dark all day long like Salvinia. As a long-range suppression weapon, the bow and arrow are actually very useful here. Leather armor is also a good thing, animal skins are simple, and the prospects for trading as a low-end commodity are also good.

"All of these must be snatched." After returning to the camp, Saul put forward his views at a meeting with a group of captains.

"Owning bows and arrows is a big advantage, and the opponent's population of more than 60 is the only team around us that can barely eat. After grabbing the bows and arrows to reintegrate the population, we will go to annex the team that masters the cobbler skills. ."

"This is the main strategic goal in the future, but at present we still have to honestly improve our strength, and form a crush of strength as soon as possible when others are slack, so that we can minimize casualties when facing the bow and arrow tribe."

Saul talked freely at the meeting, and everyone around, including Phines, was listening carefully, each thoughtful.

I don't know when it started, the team atmosphere suddenly became like this. Originally, every time Sol participated in the meeting, he only occasionally spoke to add something on the side, but Finis often asked Sol for his opinion, and Sol did not have any reservations.

Later, when Saul came back to his senses one day, it suddenly became like this. He seemed to have become the leader. The key was that no one thought there was anything wrong with it. I obviously just want to shake my hand and come up with an idea! Saul felt very sad.

Then everyone started a lively discussion, and after each added some details, the meeting disbanded.

Now Kratan and Owen are in charge of the team's cooking tasks, and Thor only gives occasional pointers, and has gradually gotten out of this matter. When Sol returned to the tent with a plate full of food, Phines had already laid out the tablecloth.

There are always no tables and chairs in the team, because those things will drag the team's load and make no sense. Everyone ate a piece of tablecloth casually on the ground, and then sat cross-legged around.

It is undeniable that the arrival of Sol has indeed brought the food quality of everyone in the team to a higher level, and the daily meal time has become the most anticipated link for everyone.

"Yeah~ Today, there is green celery stewed rabbit meat, as well as roasted mushrooms and vegetable broth!" Phines' eyes lit up.

"Little pigs have never been able to eat you." Sol joked, spreading the food one by one on the table linen.

"Do you dare to laugh at me?" Phines laughed and skewed away a piece of rabbit meat from Sol's plate.

The siblings eating together has become a common sight during this time, and it can be seen that Phines enjoys this atmosphere.

Although the team used to have no shortage of meat, it is inevitable to get tired of eating every day.

After Sol arrived, in addition to teaching everyone to identify various vegetables, he also taught Kratan to make a kind of bean paste cake, sweet, crisp and refreshing. Now the bean paste cake has become the staple food of everyone in the team.

"To be honest, your team is too bad. It has a small number of people and lags behind its productivity. If you want to do something big, it always feels like you can't do it." Sol chewed and taunted Phines.

"Are you embarrassed to say? It's not because of you because of you!" Phines pouted and slapped the table.

Yeah, Saul pursed his mouth, and then remembered that he couldn't get rid of the black pot, he could only fork a piece of rabbit meat and stuff it into Phines's mouth.

After another two days, other surrounding teams began to set off one after another, and it was time for another round of departure.

Solmer silently helped Phines and the others organize their supplies, and suddenly felt a little emotional when he looked at the backs of other teams.

Thousands of people in these fourteen teams look lively, but they are scattered in this vast maze like small fishes merging into the sea. I don’t know if we can see such a sight in hundreds of years, and who will be at that time. Still alive?

And I don’t know when I can really go home.
