    This group of natives were muttering in their hearts, but at least they did not attack rashly. Instead, they stared at An Rui and spoke in various dialects.  "Alu!" An Rui didn't understand other dialects, so he kept saying this sentence over and over again.  After a long time, his words and deeds finally got the response he wanted.  "Alu!" Some of the indigenous people shouted.  "Alu!" "Alu!" The two parties used this simple communication to confirm the "friend" relationship.  An Rui was very happy and began to try the second stage of communication. He no longer shouted Alu La, but shouted: "Bahta bang!" This sentence means to go with brother.  The natives shouted something different from before, and they didn¡¯t know what they were talking about.  ¡°Bangta bang!¡± An Rui waved and took the lead in the direction of the fleet.  The natives watched Anrui leave step by step, and there was an internal dispute, and it seemed that there were differences of opinion.  Some of the indigenous people did not follow An Rui, but turned around and ran away, not knowing where they went.  Only a few indigenous people followed An Rui, but they walked very carefully, always holding the simple weapons in their hands.  As long as you can bring a small number of natives back, it will be considered a success. Anrui kept shouting bang, bang, bang, and walked to the seaside with these honorable natives.  "Bangta bangbangta bang" A civilized man led a group of indigenous people walking in the wilderness. The two sides formed a sharp contrast.  It's still far from the seaside, so we have to walk a long way.  With this group of natives following behind, Anrui couldn't fly on a dragon.  I can only walk honestly on my legs.  After walking for a while, the situation stabilized.  An Rui picked up the sound transmission stone, told his men about the situation on his side, and asked the exploration team to temporarily return to the shore and prepare gifts for the indigenous people.  If you want to catch a big fish, you must first spread the bait. Anrui has already prepared various cheap "baits" for this big fish, including tableware, gadgets, food, etc.  Anrui led the group of indigenous people all the way to the shore. The group of indigenous people were patient and followed them all the way here.  No leaving halfway.  When they arrived at the shore, this group of indigenous people saw a sailboat for the first time in their lives. They all looked very surprised, pointed at the sailboat, chattered a lot, and talked a lot.  Under An Rui¡¯s instructions, people had already prepared those things and put them in a box.  There are not many things, only a dozen or so.  These things are just to give these indigenous people a taste of sweetness. If there are too many, they will be unsightly.  An Rui glanced at Quasimodo, who was standing on the shore with a sullen face, and waved: "It's your turn to show off your skills." Quasimodo nodded, looked at one of the male natives, and stared into his eyes.  .  A magical light flashed across his eyes.  He quietly released the "Language Bridge" magic and connected with the native with his consciousness.  "I say something, you say something to him." An Rui ordered.  Quasimodo sighed.  "Hello." An Rui said the simplest sentence first.  After all, conscious communication is not verbal communication. The simpler the meaning, the easier it is to express it.  If it's too complicated.  On the contrary, there is no way to express it.  Quasimodo lived up to his mission and conveyed this simple meaning to the natives.  A strange consciousness was introduced into the minds of the indigenous people.  It startled him, and his emotion immediately came back to Quasimodo's mind.  Quasimodo described the indigenous reaction to Anri in words.  ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, we don¡¯t mean any harm, we just want to communicate with you.¡± An Rui responded.  Quasimodo once again reported the reaction of the indigenous people: "Who are you?" "We are sailors who have traveled across the ocean. We are here to make friends with you and do some transactions by the way." An Rui said.  "What is a transaction?" "It's barter. We give you our good things, and you give us your good things." "What good things do you have?" "We have a lot of good things.  They are all good things." An Rui picked up the box of gifts and placed it in front of the natives. He took out a piece of beef jerky, took a bite, showed it to the natives to prove that it was not poisonous, and then handed it to the natives.  The natives looked at each other in confusion. One of the brave people took the beef jerky, took a big bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.  After eating the beef jerky, the natives nodded repeatedly, seeming to praise the delicious taste of the beef jerky.  After hearing this, several other indigenous people also grabbed some beef jerky and opened their mouths to eat.  After eating these natives,?They all nodded in praise.  "It's delicious!" The native who was under the spell of the Bridge of Language conveyed this thought.  "This thing is edible, and the other things have their own wonderful uses. These things are all given to you. Please take these things back to the tribe and give them to your chief. If you are interested in these things, you can take your  Things come here to be exchanged," An Rui said.  The native chirped and relayed what he heard to several of his companions.  The natives separated into two people, picked up the big box, and left with the box.  The big fish has already bitten the bait and is about to be hooked.  An Rui looked at the departing figures of the indigenous people with excitement in his eyes.  The natives walked a long way away with a box of gifts. After a long journey, they returned to the tribe, met with the chief, told them what had just happened, and then presented the gifts.  The chief took the wooden box and rummaged inside for a while. First, at the strong recommendation of his tribe, he picked up a piece of beef jerky and took a small bite.  "Huh?" The chief's eyes widened, and his chewing speed suddenly increased, and he ate the endless aftertaste of beef jerky.  In addition to beef jerky, there are other types of food in this box, most of which are dried fruits, which are convenient for storage.  The chiefs tasted each one, some liked it and some didn't.  After eating these snacks, the chief turned his attention to those gadgets. He grabbed a telescope, opened the lens barrel, and pointed it at a flame in front of him.  Through the refraction of the lens, the flame is magnified several times.  "Wow!" The chief exclaimed, finding it very interesting. He moved his telescope to focus on other people's faces.  The faces of these people became very large and filled the entire lens. They were very funny and made the chief laugh.  In addition to telescopes, this box also contains music boxes, pocket watches and other things. For these technologically backward indigenous people, each one is more interesting than the last.  The chief¡¯s hands were too heavy and he took apart the pocket watch, scattering the parts inside.  After a while, he also opened the music box "These things are very interesting, I still want them! Tomorrow we will organize a group of people to bring our gifts and go to the beach to exchange them with them." The chief said to them  The tribesmen ordered.  ¡­ ¡­ Early the next morning, An Rui rode a black mist dragon to patrol the sky, waiting for the indigenous people to appear.  He waited for a long time, and finally the natives arrived, and quickly flew back to the ground on the Black Misty Dragon.  "Quasimodo, come out quickly, I need your help again." An Rui shouted excitedly.  Quasimodo came out with a stern face, came to An Rui, and continued to play the role of translator.  The natives packed many things in several animal skin bags and came to the shore. Several of them had been here yesterday and were familiar with the road.  Quasimodo looked at the familiar dwarf and cast the Bridge of Language on him.  "Do you want to exchange items with us?" An Rui asked.  Quasimodo conveyed these words to the dwarf.  "The chief is very interested in your things and asked us to bring some things to exchange with you. What we brought are all good things, including food, accessories, and weapons." The dwarf leaned down and put the leather bag on  On the ground, it opened.  There are all kinds of things inside, including food, fruits, bone daggers, and unknown herbs Anrui glanced around and found that most of them were rags.  Only a few herbs are of any value.  He took the herbs out, set them aside, and pushed the rest back.  "The other things are of no use to us, we don't want them. Open the rest of the bags and let us take a good look." An Rui said.  The natives did as they were told and opened the remaining leather bags.  Among these things, there is a translucent crystal object and several pieces of gold ore.  "It's magic diamonds and gold!" An Rui immediately became energetic. This is what he wants to exchange for!  Use some cheap gadgets to exchange local precious ores with these indigenous people!  This is a very profitable transaction, and can earn hundreds or even thousands of times in profit.  Anrui picked out a few pieces of precious ore, and then picked out a few other useful things and put them aside. Then he placed his things in front of the natives and said something extremely black-hearted: "One thing can only  The exchange is the same, I took twelve things from you, you can also pick twelve things from us. "Although the things in this box are very useful and beautiful in appearance, even if they are packed together, they cannot compare.  A piece of gold.  This kind of hugely profitable transaction can only be encountered in the New World.??, people in other places are not so stupid.  An Rui¡¯s move is indeed an act of profiteers, but it is infinitely better than those who used force to rob the indigenous property and seize the indigenous people as slaves.  After all, he was bartering, and both parties were willing to do so, and no one could find fault with him.  The natives gathered around the box, happily picked through it, took out some interesting-looking things, and put them into leather bags.  "I like these shiny stones and these useful herbs the most. You can bring more of these things next time you come." An Rui shook the fist-sized magic diamond. If this magic diamond can be exchanged for gold coins,  Enough to exchange for more than 10,000 gold coins!  If the natives brought more, he would be rich.
