The market on the grassland usually lasts until the afternoon. There are no walls and houses built of wood and stone. Even if the low yurts are lit with lights and hung with cloth curtains, they often feel dark and cold. Cold means depression, while darkness implies danger. When the sun goes down, most of the shops have already packed their stalls and returned to their homes.
But things in the world are like this. If there is a business that can be done in the daytime and is not easy to do at night, there will be business that can be done at night and not easy to do during the day. Therefore, although the market at night is no longer full of people, but those who know the sound of the sound of insects and the low cry of owls, just as the vitality.
Life, of course, is life. No matter how dirty and dirty the transactions in the dark are, what drives these transactions to produce nothing but human desires, which are not driven by biological instincts? In this way, the desire to understand the unclear environment and prepare for the uncertain future is one of the many instincts of biology. In order to deal with this instinct, the sale and collection of knowledge, or intelligence in a narrower sense, will naturally give birth to people who specialize in it.
This kind of person has different names in different places. Intelligence merchant or intelligence dealer is just their broadest term. In fact, according to the situation and culture of the region, the intelligence traffickers in each region have different rules and business scope. These limitations themselves may be the reason why the profession is really counted as a separate profession.
Because the more you know what others don''t know, the more you have to take the risk. Sometimes, lies are more powerful than the truth. If people with intelligence can''t control their hearts, confuse the public with the information sold, and intentionally mislead their guests to think in the wrong direction, they will lose the soil of their own foothold. However, this kind of thing is inevitable.
"People will lie because of their own interests, people will lie in order to obtain greater interests, people will lie in order not to lose interests. But more often than not, people don''t realize that they are lying Cheese explains why he went with him to the room with the orange door number.
"people''s position, self-knowledge and self-knowledge will become the cause and reason of unconscious lying. In the same way, people who accept the information with implied position also have their own position, and they will unconsciously lie to themselves when they interpret it. In this way, no words can be trusted, no words can be read. All information is a lie, all information is distorted. Unless someone is aware of it, jumps out of the way, reorganizes all the information, and infers a vague thing from a more credible and less credible comparison. That''s what we call the truth. "
"What does he mean by these words?" Nouisaman''s face puzzled asked Lothar. The count shrugged. "I guess he''s afraid you''ll be cheated."
When Lothar took the candlestick and brought them to the yurt with her memory, there was no fire in the yurt. This generally means that the owner of the room has taken a rest, but it may also be because he did not live here. The count looked back a little, raised his eyebrows, and questioned the other two, who seemed to be out of luck tonight. Nuissa didn''t seem to want to give up. She pointed her finger at the entrance of the yurt and signaled to break in.
But Lothar is not under her command, and the wolf Lord''s daughter can''t command him, so the decision-making power of this matter has to be returned to the mage''s hand. Cheese looked at the yurt in silence. To be honest, he didn''t like the group of intelligence merchants, because in the case of Cangshi, a certain one could not be defined as an intelligence merchant, but always regarded himself as such, which made him quite uncomfortable. But the more uncomfortable he was, the more uneasy he was to give the opportunity to deal with such people.
"Do you have any silver ornaments like that, or coins or jewelry like that?" Intelligence is a commodity, a seller, a merchant. Leaving aside the so-called rules which seem mysterious and ambiguous to outsiders, the most essential relationship between the two is the seller and the buyer, so the interests, especially the real money interests, are the most solid relationship between them. You can have innumerable rules, star like rumors to prove the means and ability of intelligence dealers, but your existence as a businessman means that you need to use intelligence to make money.
Nuissa nodded, reached into his lapel, pulled a string from his neck slightly, and then pulled out a pendant decorated with red and broken cyan gems. Precious stones are not as valuable as other places in the grassland, because without a good cutting technology, no matter how perfect the original stone can show that kind of confusing brilliance.
The pendant in nuissa''s hand is different. It obviously comes from the civilization area outside the grassland. After careful cutting, the red gem with the size of fingernail is not only highly symmetrical at every corner, but also can make it flash like a flame even if it is just a candle in the count''s hand. And this kind of light, is the gem itself has the natural magic characteristic.
Grey robe looks at the wolf master''s daughter with questioning eyes. He is not questioning the value of this pendant. On the contrary, he thinks the value of this pendant is too high. Such raw stone and such technology can be exchanged for considerable wealth wherever they go. In other words, even if nuissa gave up her position in the tribe, she could make a living anywhere, probably quite well, with the pendant as a capital. It''s not a wise choice to put your own back on the road for some information.However, the value of things is determined by their measurement. In different contexts, a golden mountain may not be as good as a piece of steamed bread, and the extremely precious life will be obliterated like numbers for the future of ethnic existence. Nuisa holds the right to measure value. Her eyes are firm and her opponent''s treasures are not missed.
So cheese can only nod, let Rosa take the pendant and put it by the candle, in this way, the gem''s light will be more prominent. Sure enough, within a few seconds, the curtain of the yurt was lifted from the inside, revealing an anxious face and whispering, "are you crazy? Use this gem as a mirror? Its light is enough for all the bandits in 800 miles to come! Come in, come in
The count held the pendant in his hand with a backhand, and the light disappeared. He noticed the disappointment and greed of the eyes on that face after the gem was covered, which showed that their price was very enough. The next question was how much valuable information could they get with this rich price.
