Chapter 194 Conversation with Miss Liu Na
Then Shen Mu looked through the window and saw the Narott caravan that had just disappeared. At this time, as the city gate opened, they returned to the trading area of Dehrim with 30 carriages.
He came to report again through the Swadian sergeant, then returned to him, saluted and greeted him respectfully.
"Salute to you, great Lord Shen Mu!"
"......Yeah." Shen Mu nodded.
But for Shen Mu, this always feels a bit strange.
After all, in Narot's eyes and his memory, he had left this strange world of Dehrim 14 days ago, and then took his caravan members on a long journey of 7 days before returning to the Swadia Kingdom of Calradia to engage in the smuggling of iron products.
Then, he sold out all the iron products he brought with him in a short period of time, and then he spent another 7 days returning here with the dinars and various materials purchased in the Kingdom of Swadia.
Going back and forth repeatedly took Nalot 14 days, or half a month.
Therefore, after seeing Shen Mu again, he was still extremely happy and quite excited.
"The iron products you asked me to bring this time have achieved very good sales results. Those nobles have directly bought up all our iron products." Nalot reported his profits from selling iron products in the Kingdom of Swadia, and held up the bulging, heavy package containing thousands of dinars in his hand and placed it in front of Shen Mu.
"Lord Shen Mu, here are all the proceeds from this trade, a total of 6400 dinars." Nalot also said: "And I also brought more vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, carrots, as well as sausages, dried meat, dried fish and other foods."
"Well, well done." Shen Mu nodded to Nalote to express his satisfaction.
All in all, more than 11 dinars were received.
Moreover, by tomorrow, there will be enough dinars to confer the title of decapitation upon the remaining humans on Blue Star, and the cost is only a loss of more than 10 points of faith.
He doesn't need to care too much. After all, he can directly earn more than 3 points of faith power every day.
This indirectly means that he used more than 14 points of faith power to exchange for 000 to 5000 dinars.
In this case, the exchange rate of these two currently needed currencies is about to 1.
It’s okay.
"But if I think about it this way, I seem to have obtained a stable income of dinars now." Shen Mu touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I only need to consume faith points to let the Narott caravan go back and forth to Karadiadalo. This is equivalent to making money in two worlds, helping me to get more dinars."
Shen Mu thinks the price-performance ratio is acceptable.
In this way, as long as he takes out half of the income generated by the prayers of the Blue Star humans every day, he can earn about 5000 dinars, which means that he can make a net profit of 5000 dinars every day.
In this way, he doesn't need to think too much about the issue of dinars. After all, as long as he can obtain a steady supply of dinars, he can purchase more resources, bring more soldiers into this world, upgrade them, and turn them into a solid support for his own use.
"This is really good." Shen Mu was quite satisfied at this time.
Of course he did not forget Nalot in front of him.
So he nodded to Nalot with satisfaction and praised him, "You have worked so hard during this period. You can have a good rest in Dehrim for two days after you come back. But I will need to keep you and your caravan busy again because I am really short of dinars."
Shen Mu did not hide the fact that he was short of dinars. After all, for the humans on Blue Star, these Mount and Blade humans were more trustworthy.
"Master Shen Mu, please rest assured. I understand." Nalot said with a serious expression, "Please let us rest for a day, and then let us set off the next day. For Dehrim and for you, we are willing to work harder."
"Very good." Shen Mu was quite satisfied with what Nalot said. After all, for him, Nalot's statement was equivalent to his caravan making a statement again.
This also means that their inner respect for Shen Mu is truly unparalleled.
After a brief chat, Nalot tactfully stood up, touched his chest, bowed, and left.
"Nalot, remember to prepare a very delicious meal for the caravan members to reward them." Shen Mu also directly handed over the right to arrange food to Nalot: "You can get whatever you like to eat directly from the warehouse, just say it's my order."
"I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Lord Shen Mu." Nalot bowed respectfully again before leaving the noble mansion.
Shen Mu was the only one left in the meeting room again.
"Nalot's caravan really surprised me and did not disappoint me." Shen Mu was also comparing it with Torres' caravan at this time.
There was some regret on his face.
"If you believe it, it will take Torres' caravan a whole month to travel back and forth to the White Tower area of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings." Shen Mu muttered.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
The world of Mount & Blade and The Lord of the Rings itself is more dangerous than this world, and the journey is also longer. He gave some verification based on Torres's statement.
So it only takes a month to make the journey.
Of course, this one month is also the time to go to the White Tower area and return to Drim. Basically, a round trip takes 15 days, which adds up to 30 days, or one month.
Therefore, if you want this caravan to complete a round trip, you will need 3 points of faith power.
It is basically equivalent to the power of faith that Dehrim gains in one day.
The price/performance ratio is not high.
After all, although sending the corpse of the abyss demon to the White Tower area can earn 1 dinars, the round-trip time is too long and the power of faith consumed is too much.
Although it seems that Torres can earn more than 1 dinars by going to the White Tower area once a month, and Nalot can earn more than 1 dinars by going to the Calradia continent twice a month, the income is similar.
But if you look at it, you can understand that Nalot went to the Kingdom of Swadia on the Calradia continent, and when he came back, he could bring a lot of supplies, which could directly bring supplies to the soldiers of Swadia.
Although 20 trucks full of various vegetables are nothing compared to the current army that has reached a size of over ten thousand people.
But if you use the power of faith, then you will need to supply supplies twice a day.
It is entirely possible to distribute some vegetables, fish, dried meat, as well as side dishes such as onions, carrots, pumpkins, etc. to each soldier in Dehrim to increase the flavor and variety of the food.
It can be considered a good way to boost morale and slow down the consumption of staple food.
Therefore, Shen Mu now attaches more importance to the Narot Caravan.
But there is nothing we can do.
Although the Narot caravan could bring back a steady stream of supplies, there was one most critical consumable coin that they could not bring back, and that was the mana scroll.
Shen Mu now slowly turned his head to look at the light emanating from the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council outside, as well as the white light power covering the surrounding area.
In my heart, I felt a sense of awe and satisfaction towards the huge light at the top of the torch tower.
After all, it was because of the activated Holy Light Torch Tower that his Dehrim would no longer be threatened by undead monsters at night.
Now it can be said that all the land within a 1-kilometer radius around Dehrim has become land covered by the rules of Mount and Blade.
Even if darkness exists, the powerful erosion of light and heat also destroys the rules of the undead, making it possible to generate gray fog and undead monsters.
That’s why it gives them an absolute sense of security.
"Very good, everything is on the right track." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction at this time, and let out a long breath. From the beginning when he awakened the golden finger to now, it has been really dangerous all the way.
If it weren't for luck and the Mount and Blade system, he might really not know what to do.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu felt a little sad in his heart.
"Let's go out and take a walk in the castle area." Shen Mu also had the idea of going out for a walk.
So he walked out of the main building of the castle and came to the atrium.
In the courtyard, you can see a sandy beach and a dozen date palm trees growing around the beach, as well as a holy white oak tree about 10 centimeters in size that is flashing a faint white light and has begun to sprout and grow.
At this time, the holy white oak tree next to it was bathing in the holy light of the Holy Light Torch Tower, and its branches and leaves were swaying as if absorbing strength.
Around them, the 100 sacred tree rangers were all sitting cross-legged on the beach around the sacred white oak tree, as if they were meditating.
However, among the crowd, Shen Mu also saw Liu Na, who was also sitting cross-legged among these sacred tree rangers, with her eyes quietly closed, meditating.
"Ms. Liu Na, what are you doing?" Shen Mu walked over and asked curiously.
"Oh, it's Lord Shen Mu. I really didn't expect you to come here." Liu Na slowly opened her eyes, and her little face suddenly turned slightly red. She saw Shen Mu walking towards her, and she quickly stood up and saluted Shen Mu respectfully.
"Yeah." Shen Mu just nodded, and looked at the 10-centimeter-long holy white oak tree in front of him, which was shining with silver-white light and different from ordinary green plants, and raised his eyebrows: "This holy white oak tree looks really beautiful, and it even has a special sense of sacredness."
To be honest, Shen Mu really felt that the holy white oak sapling was very beautiful and had a sacred feeling.
Looking closely, this is a sapling of the holy white oak. In fact, it is not truly white but green. However, there is a fine layer of white light attached to the surface of its branches and inner leaves.
It was as if these holy white oak saplings were absorbing the light and heat released by the surrounding holy light torch towers of the White Council.
"Yes, this holy white oak tree is really a very special magical plant. It is also absorbing the power of light released from the torch next to it." Liu Na nodded at this time, agreeing with Shen Mu's statement, and there was a look of joy on her little face: "I can feel that the seedling of this holy white oak tree is really happy to be able to grow here, and is also happy to be able to absorb the power of light, allowing it to grow more outstandingly."
As Liu Na spoke, she gently reached out her hand and stroked her chest, saying with great admiration: "Even the fragment of natural consciousness in my heart feels very satisfied with this holy white oak tree and the peaceful atmosphere that permeates the surroundings."
As a druid, Liuna was blessed by the fragments of nature's consciousness.
That was why she was able to become a formal druid quickly in a short period of time and was able to comprehend many nature spells.
This was all possible thanks to the help of the fragments of natural consciousness.
Now she has been taking care of the holy white oak tree for quite some time, and of course she can feel the love that the fragment of natural consciousness had for this place when she was with the holy white oak tree.
Especially some time ago, the torch tower, which was originally just an ordinary tarot, suddenly ignited the flame and burst out with an obvious bright power.
The fragments of natural consciousness fell in love with this place even more.
Moreover, Liu Na had already vaguely felt the peaceful atmosphere in this area, which was not eroded by the rules of the undead.
And in this world without the erosion of undead rules, all things are beginning to revive and grow. That feeling of vitality is so attractive to the fragments of natural consciousness, and it can also enhance the power of the fragments of natural consciousness.
So at this time, Liu Na also expressed to Shen Mu that she really liked and was extremely happy about this place.
Including why they are meditating here next to the Holy White Oak Tree with the first-order soldiers of the Holy Tree Knights, the Holy Tree Rangers.
"Wait, do you mean that these holy tree rangers also have a faint natural bloodline in their bodies, which is a power recognized by the fragments of natural consciousness?" Shen Mu couldn't help but be a little surprised at this time.
He really didn't expect that these sacred tree rangers of his were actually involved in some relationship with the fragments of natural consciousness.
"That's right, Lord Shen Mu, these young men who are guarding the holy trees have also received attention from the nature consciousness." Liu Na pursed her lips at this time, and suddenly thought of something, and said with surprise: "The last time the nature consciousness paid attention to them was related to the wood elves of the Green Leaf Group! To the nature consciousness, these holy tree guards seem to be paying attention to the wood elves, not much different."
