Chapter 40: The Next Town
"You say, someone was watching us from a distance during the battle just now?" Li Hong asked Loki. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Hong naturally didn't notice this, and so did Garina and Rambo, not to blame them for being careless, but because they had already focused their attention on the monster in front of them, and they didn't have much energy left to pay attention to the surroundings, let alone things from afar.
However, Loki is different, even a one-on-one Loki can easily deal with this powerful water beast, and after the three of them joined the battle group, Loki spent some of his energy on perceiving his surroundings. Unexpectedly, it really made Loki feel that there were several eyes in the distance that were aimed at here, but fortunately, there was no malice in these eyes, so Loki didn't tell the three of them during the battle.
Now that the battle is over, the materials have been stripped away, and the physical strength has almost recovered, Loki said the matter. The three of them also began to understand that they were really careless when hunting!
"Thankfully, those people didn't have any ill intentions, probably hunters passing by, and when they saw us stop and watch in battle, Loki said they left just as we were about to win, so that's pretty much the guess. The water beast we hunted this time is probably a relatively rare individual in the isolated island, so it's not surprising that they will care about it. Li Hong said, "We also have to improve, otherwise we will have to use all our strength to deal with the water beasts, and we almost forget to guard the surrounding environment, if there are poachers or something, it will be embarrassing." ”
Rambo and Garina were more guilty, they really used all their strength to deal with this water beast, otherwise the battle would have to continue for a while longer, during this time they really didn't pay even a little attention to the surroundings, they were thinking about how to solve this water beast as soon as possible.
"I'll pay attention to this hunt." Although they didn't suffer a loss this time, it was still able to alert them that this was not around Pokey Town, and none of them could guarantee that there would be no poachers here. If they really wait until the time when they suffer, maybe it will be the time when they die.
Ahh Garina thought angrily.
Fortunately, nothing happened, and after the battle was settled, the group set out on their way back to the town of Kikla.
――――――――
"There should be a good profit from this hunt, we hunted six water beasts, and there are so many aquatic beasts, we can sell a lot of money just for the materials." Rambo said with a smile.
"It's really hard to say, there are too many water beasts living here on the isolated island, which means that the price of water beast materials here will be reduced to a very low price, but we can't leave with all the materials, and sell those ordinary materials as our travel expenses back." Li Hong did a little research, the environment of the isolated island breeds a large number of water beasts, and once the number of species increases, the price will fall directly to the trough, which can be seen in the task reward.
This time they are hunting in a large row, and they need to hunt at least two water beasts to complete the task, but the task reward is only the price of hunting one water beast in the Southern Wilderness. The reward for the quest is still the same, not to mention the water beast material.
"Sure enough." Sure enough, it was not Li Hong's expectation, whether it was a foot merchant or a chamber of commerce, the price at which they purchased the water beast materials was very low, almost half of what was sold in the Southern Wilderness, and this was still the preferential price given by Li Hong when he wanted to sell a large number of materials, and under normal circumstances, this price was lower.
It is a good choice to transport it back to Pokai Town and sell it again, but Li Hong doesn't have this time, and the freight plus the cost of escorting along the way is another expense, even if it is transported back to Pokai Town, the final income is just a little more, it is better to save some effort and sell it locally directly. However, such as the crown of the water beast's head, the tail of the water beast, the water bag, and the dragon jade stripped from the hunting of the powerful water beast, Li Hong still planned to get it back to Bokai Town.
Not for sale, but for Willy they use to build weapons and equipment, and the selling price of the finished product is definitely more expensive than the raw materials, and Bokai Town does need to produce high-end equipment, which is another feature of Bokai Town, and now the only one who can build high-end equipment in the Southern Wilderness is Bokai Town, this advantage Li Hong doesn't want to waste.
Although the price is nearly half lower, Garina and Rambo still get a lot of gold coins, mainly because they hunt a lot of monsters this time, and they can bring back more materials, and it is impossible for ordinary hunters to bring back all the materials of monsters, they can only strip some of the most important and expensive materials for them, and the rest can only be turned into nutrients for Mother Earth.
After selling these materials, Li Hong and the four of them set out on the road again and headed to the third town. As soon as Li Hong and the others left Kikra Town on the front foot, the hunter team that had watched them from a distance came to Kikra Town on the back foot, but neither side noticed this, so there was no incident.
――――――――
This time, the town that the four of them were going to go to was Ruohe Town, a town further south of Kikra Town, Ruohe Town was a small town, smaller in scale than their first port town, probably a little better than some large villages in the Southern Wilderness area.
However, the economy of Ruohe Town is relatively developed, relying on the rich water resources, so that the average income of the townspeople here has almost reached the level of the villages and towns under Bokai Town, with a higher economic income, it will produce more entertainment, after all, people who have not even eaten enough will not talk to you about entertainment, only after ensuring food and clothing will they develop entertainment.
There are restaurants, opera houses, and small arenas here, and it is much more prosperous than the big town of Cycla.
"Look, Mayor, there's a bard telling stories on the side of the street." This was the first time Garina had seen the Bard profession, which she had never seen before in Kicla, and she didn't pay much attention to it when she still had a mission in the port town. Seeing here, Garina immediately rushed into the crowd and squeezed inside.
Li Hong could only shake his head when he saw Garina like this, after all, she was still a little girl who had just grown up, and after letting Loki go over to ensure Karina's safety, Li Hong went with Rambo to find a place to stay.
