Chapter 42: I want 10,000 gold coins
Although Stephen doesn't take money very seriously, he does need a lot of money lately.
Although his talent in alchemy is extremely high and he does have certain abilities, he has not yet been certified by the Alchemist Association and has not been granted the status of an alchemist.
Therefore, even if he was indeed able to concoct some alchemy medicines, ordinary people would not dare to ask him to buy them.
Seeing that Stephen was preoccupied, Dylan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Stephen smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing. β
But Dylan had known Stephen for a while, so he knew there must be something.
"If you say anything, if I can help, I will not refuse. Dylan said.
Donald on the side also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the three of us are good brothers, and we are the three wastes of the academy!"
Dylan couldn't help but flick a brain on the fat man's head, and scolded with a smile: "Fat man, can you speak, do you say that about your brother?"
Donald also smiled: "I just want to liven up the atmosphere, don't be so nervous." β
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Stephen could only sigh and say, "Okay, I really need a sum of money recently, and I need it urgently." β
Dylan breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, that's it, how much do you want on me?"
Donald patted his chest even more: "Stephen, as long as you say a number, I will definitely give it to you." β
Stephen muttered for a long time, and seemed a little unspeakable. In the end, he said with some shame: "Ten thousand gold coins." β
"What? 10,000 gold coins!" this time, Dylan and Donald exclaimed almost at the same time, completely ignoring the disdainful glances of the surrounding nobles, because the number Stephen was talking about was really a bit staggering.
10,000 gold coins! That's no joke.
"What do you want so much gold for?" Dylan really couldn't figure it out, Stephen didn't look like an extravagant person, let alone gamble, so what did he need so much money for?
Stephen said with some embarrassment: "I, I have a crush on a magical beast. β
The fat Donald muttered: "Ordinary Warcraft, first- and second-level, only need dozens or hundreds of gold coins, what kind of Warcraft do you fancie, it costs 10,000 gold coins." β
Dylan knew very well that Stephen was not interested in the ordinary magical beasts that the nobles used to show their identity, and they must have some special features.
Sure enough, Stephen said, "I have my eye on a sixth-level demonic beast cub, which is a nightblade pangolin. β
"Sixth-level Demonic Beast?" Dylan and Donald glanced at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
This sixth-level demonic beast is very rare in the market, and the strength of an adult sixth-level demonic beast is comparable to that of a seventh-level magician, so strong it is indeed worth 10,000 gold coins, and it can even be said that it is worth the money.
Dylan frowned and said, "Stephen, although I know that you love alchemy and don't want to be an earth magician. But relying on Warcraft to improve one's strength is not the right way after all, and it is more reliable to rely on one's own strength. β
Dylan thought that Stephen was trying to protect himself in the future, but he heard Stephen explain: "No, I don't want to improve my overall strength by raising monsters. It's because the Nightblade Pangolin does have some special abilities, and this magical beast has a strong perception of herbs, which can help me find a lot of precious medicinal materials in the wild. β
I only heard Donald say: "It stands to reason that the cubs of sixth-level demonic beasts are rare even on the black market, how can that merchant be willing to sell them to you for 10,000 gold coins?" Obviously, as the eldest young master of the Harvey family, Donald is extremely familiar with the prices of many commodities. He believed that 10,000 gold coins would never be able to buy a sixth-level Warcraft cub.
Imagine, when that nightblade pangolin grows up, Stephen will have an additional magical beast by his side that is comparable to a seventh-level magician, how terrifying is that ability improvement, how can it be obtained with 10,000 gold coins?
"I know that a healthy nightblade pangolin cub can't be sold for only 10,000 gold coins. The merchant was willing to sell because the cub was wounded, very badly. I've seen it, and although its mouth and legs are badly injured, I'm absolutely sure that it will be cured. That's why I wanted to buy it. It's just that I casually asked about the price at the time, and he offered 10,000 gold coins, and I was taken aback. After Stephen finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I originally wanted to sell alchemy drugs to make money, but I haven't obtained the alchemist certification yet, the alchemist association only conducts certification every two years, and the most recent one is in June of this year, I have already missed it, and the next one will have to wait another year and a half. And by that time, I think the cub had already been bought. β
After hearing this, Dylan finally understood, and then patted Stephen on the shoulder: "Brother, why don't you take us to see it first?"
In the surprised eyes of the nobles, Dylan took out the storage card of the Imperial Gold Bank, and after paying the bill, the three of them walked towards the Warcraft store that Stephen said.
Soon, the three of them came to the Warcraft store, only to see that it was not a big store, but it was clean and tidy.
The shelves on both sides of the store are full of cages of different sizes, and inside the cages, there are all kinds of strange monsters.
There are first-level and second-level demonic beasts, similar to two-headed snakes and frost moon wolves, and slightly higher-level third- and fourth-level demonic beasts, such as the Tyrannosaurus Star Butterfly, Three-legged Pterodactyl, etc., turned around, but Dylan didn't see any sixth-level demonic beasts Nightblade Pangolin.
Dylan couldn't help but look at Stephen, but saw that the other party's eyes were also puzzled. Because Stephen was sure that he did see the Nightblade pangolin cubs in this store a few days ago.
"Young masters, what do you need? We have all kinds of magical beasts here, you can choose whatever you want. "The owner of the shop is a slightly chubby man who looks quite honest.
Dylan asked, "Are you all there are monsters, and there are no higher ranks?"
There was a clear glint in the shopkeeper's eyes, and it was obvious that there was a big business sent to his door.
"Yes, yes, of course, this front hall is full of some common ordinary monsters, and there are a few real sought-after goods in the backyard, why don't you follow me in and have a look?"
Dylan and the three followed the shopkeeper to the backyard of the Warcraft store.
As soon as I entered the yard, everyone had a sense of sudden enlightenment, don't look at the small faΓ§ade of this store, this backyard is quite spacious.
I saw that there were several large cages in the courtyard, and among them were some large magical beasts.
Dylan glanced at it and found that the monsters in this backyard were really not low-level, with fifth-level monsters such as giant winged eagles, fire-tailed tigers, and so on. On top of these cages, there are layers of halos, which are obviously blessed with magic bans.
