Chapter 2: The Rhine (Part II)
As soon as "Dad" Matt entered the city, he shook off Schuller's hand and looked at Schuller with resentment.
"Hey" Schuller let go of his hand and didn't speak, just sighed heavily.
"Let's go" Schuller lifted the bag full of items on the ground, dropped a word, and turned to walk.
Matt didn't follow closely, just quietly looked at Schuller's back, dressed in a shabby Orion outfit, wearing a shabby fluffy hat on his head, I don't know when it was used, and the leather coat on his body was also made of inferior animal skins, with his staggering steps, it looked even more vicissitudes.
With the same deep sigh, Matt held back his words and quickly caught up with Schuler's pace.
Soon, they came to the market specializing in the acquisition of fur magic cores, and every city in the mainland will divide the urban area into several modules, business districts, residential areas, and office areas, and this business district is carefully divided into many small modules, such as the special market for the magic core and animal skins, which is one of the small modules, and other such as clothing, food, etc.
"Hey, hey, come and see, come and see, buy fur magic core at a high price, no matter what kind of magic core and what kind of fur you are, you can get a satisfactory price with us"
"Don't miss it"
"Come and see, take a walk, take a look"
......
On both sides of the road, a dazzling array of goods, shouting and shouting one after another, one after another, dazzling.
However, to Matt's surprise, the bustle did not seem to affect his father at all, and Schuller just walked in front of him, but did not stop in front of a store, and even if he asked about the price, it seemed a little redundant.
"Don't you even know the minimum of shopping around, even if it's for sale, you have to know an approximate price, right?" Matt didn't understand his father's behavior, and muttered quietly, wanting to come forward and ask for clarification, but in the end he held back.
Finally, in one of the most inconspicuous corners of the market, a dilapidated grocery store emerges.
Schuller put down the two fur bags in his hand in front of the faded door, looked back at Matt, and walked in.
Soon, Schuller walked out with a kind-looking old man, with wrinkled faces, gray hair, and smiling eyes, which made people unconsciously feel a special sense of intimacy.
"Oh, is this the boy of the Schuller family," the old man said kindly when he saw Matt standing next to the cargo at first glance.
"Hello old man," Matt replied very politely.
"Hehe, okay, okay, come and sit in the house" said, without asking Matt, he took Matt's hand and walked in.
Schuler also hurriedly picked up the goods on the ground and walked in closely.
"Schuller, your goods are still so good, look at these magic cores and these animal skins, everything is a fine product" Old man Ryder looked at the goods in Schuler's leather bag and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Boss Ryder, will you just look at the price?" Schuller didn't answer, just asked Ryder to look at the price.
"Hehe, Schuller, now those people outside are much higher than the price given by my old man, you always send it to me, but you have lost your money" did not say the price directly, but said with a smile.
"Hehe, Boss Ryder, I still don't believe you."
"Hehe, that's okay, it's still the old price" Ryder looked at the two of them, and said with a smile.
Matt silently watched as the deal ended, and he didn't say anything during the whole process, as if he wanted to discover something from his father's communication with the old man.
After Ryder led Xiao Er to the backstage, only Matt and his son were left to sit in the store.
"Dad, why do you want to sell the goods here?" After thinking for a long time, Matt couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, this is completely inconsistent with a conventional thinking, and the price of selling things is too high.
But Schuller didn't answer Matt's words directly, but only told Matt a cliché that made people squirt blood, but it was true.
A man who had just come to the Rhine City, with the animal skins and magic cores he had just called, wanted to sell them at a good price in the city, but the merchants in the market, when they saw a fresh face, they became confused, and at this moment, the appearance of an old man brought good news to the man, so that the man could get a good price, although it was still lower than the normal purchase price outside, but this was the price set by the old man.
As a result, a tacit agreement was reached between the old man and the man, and the man only sold the magic core and animal skins he got to the old man, and the old man's purchase price was always two levels lower than that of the outside market.
"Hehe, Schuler, come on, here's the money" Ryder sorted out the goods, took the money, and walked out of the inner room.
Schuller didn't even look at it, and put the money directly into his pocket.
In this regard, Ryder seemed to have been familiar with it for a long time, and he was not surprised, but turned his head and said to Matt, who had been standing, "Matt, grandpa saw you for the first time, and there was no gift, I just saw such a ring inside, its name is said to be Ziling, although it is not a valuable thing, but it is also a little bit of grandpa's thoughts." ”
The ring as a whole is an amethyst, on both sides of which are made of gold wires to form two special runes, and a small red gemstone is engraved on it, although it may not be very bright because of its age, but Matt fell in love with this ring at first sight.
Matt wanted to, but because Schuller was here, he didn't stretch out his hand, just looked at Schuler blankly.
"Hehe, Matt, come, take it, grandpa gave it to you, your dad won't blame you" Ryder, who is old in the world, of course, saw Matt's thoughts at a glance.
"Matt, you can take it," Schuller relented.
Hearing that his father agreed to him, Schuller quickly thanked him, took the ring, and put it on his hand, which was just the right size.
Seeing Matt's happy appearance, Schuller and Ryder both looked at Matt with a smile, and Matt's cheeks were slightly red.
Matt had been studying his first gift, and didn't pay attention to what Schuller and Ryder were talking about, and after about two hours, Schuller got up and said, "Okay, Matt, don't look at it, we're going home, and you'll have time to study your treasure later."
"Hey" Matt smiled and reluctantly put the ring away.
"Alright, Boss Ryder, we're leaving" Schuller led Matt out of the humble grocery store and said goodbye to Ryder.
"Okay, okay, be careful on the road" Ryder said with a smile, and then said to Matt, "Little Matt, you must come to Grandpa Ryder's place to play when you have time."
"Well," Matt said with a smile, "Grandpa, goodbye"
