CH.34 The Way of Doing Business

The Beregos each nodded, suppressed their previous surprise, took the weapons in their hands, and walked towards the corpse of the Weasel King together.

The Weasel King, who was still alive just now, has turned into a corpse that doesn't move at this time, and his majesty is no longer there.

"It killed four of our brothers." The bearded man looked down at the Weasel King's corpse, his voice mixed with anger and pain.

The elven archer pursed his lips, raised his foot to step on the Weasel King's head, and reached out to pull out the broken arrow stuck in his right eye. A stream of blood shot out like chopsticks.

Several people gathered around the corpse of the Weasel King, their expressions cloudy, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Shafi, it's too bloody to decompose corpses, so let's leave it to us men. Would you like to go over and watch the wind for us, so that other ferrets will come and sneak up on us, okay? An Rui slowly turned his head sideways, looked at Sha Fei who was standing not far away, and discussed.

"Okay, I'll watch the wind for you, you can be busy." Shafi nodded obediently.

After Shafi left, Anrui was busy with the work of dismantling the Weasel King's corpse, and together with Berego and the others, the Weasel King's body was dismantled. The job was more or less bloody, but it wasn't hard for them.

According to the previous agreement, the fur was to be owned by the Berego and the others, in exchange for the settlement of several of the victims. Although the Weasel King's fur was worth a lot of money, it was still worth a lot of money, at least ten gold coins, enough to settle in for a few victims.

As for the Weasel King's skull, it belongs to An Rui, and he wants to use it to make a bone shield to increase his defense. Dragon warriors have some skills that need to be unleashed with a shield, and once this bone shield is made, it will definitely come in handy in the future.

It took a lot of effort to remove Weasel King's skull from the corpse, clean it briefly, and then use the rope through the hole in the eye to tie a sturdy knot that served as an improvised handle. In this way, a simple bone shield is completed.

The bone shield had not yet been rinsed with water, and there were still traces of blood and minced flesh in the corners and corners, adding a bit of blood and hideousness. If a faint man sees this bone shield, he must be frightened and have nightmares.

As soon as the bone shield was made, a system prompt immediately sounded in An Rui's mind.

[Hint: You have created a piece of equipment "Weasel King Beast Bone Shield (Semi-Finished).] 】

Weasel King Beast Bone Shield (semi-finished):

Description: A simple shield made from the Weasel King's skull and ordinary rope, which is average in appearance and durable. At present, it is only a semi-finished product, and if it is further processed into a finished product, the defense will be further improved.

Type: Personal Equipment.

Grade: Black Iron Grade.

Defense: 8.

An Rui checked the introduction of the bone shield and found that the defense reached 8 points, which was quite good, enough to withstand ordinary attacks. At present, he has only used the simplest method to tie up the bone shield, and when he returns to Iron Cannon Harbor in the future, he can also find a craftsman to do deep processing and polish it well, which will be more perfect.

"Not bad!" An Rui raised the bone shield and swung it twice into the air, and the bone shield hit the air with a dull sound, releasing a strong smell of blood. Fighting with such a bone shield in his hand has a bit of the ferocity of a barbarian.

On the other side, the Berego men had already disposed of the fur and the rest of the valuable materials and wrapped them in the package.

By the time had passed by noon, the sun was hanging directly above everyone's heads, and under the obstruction of the mist, it had turned into a hazy circular halo.

Everyone's stomachs were rumbling at this point in time, and they were all obviously hungry. At An Rui's suggestion, everyone simply took the local ingredients and directly used the meat of the Weasel King as their lunch, lit a fire, and roasted it into cooked meat.

Under the grill of the flame, the fresh meat gradually transforms, giving off a tantalizing aroma and dripping large drops of fat.

An Rui tasted the roasted meat and found that it tasted quite good, and it was very special, which was very different from the common animal meat.

After a hearty lunch, Berego offered to find the bodies of the two brothers who had recently died and bury them on the spot. This proposal is human nature and has been approved by all.

The fog hindered the search, and it took more than two hours for everyone to find the two bodies. Everyone worked together to dig two earth pits and bury the bodies in them.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, rest in peace." Berego looked at the brand-new dirt bag at his feet and said gloomily. With a sharp blow of his hand, he inserted the wooden plank that had just been carved into the soil and served as a simple tombstone. On the wooden board, the names of the deceased are carved in heroic handwriting.

There is the same rule between adventurers and voyagers, if someone in the group dies outside, there is no need to transport the body back to the former home, just dispose of it on the spot. This is done to avoid dragging down the living, after all, adventurers and pirates are dangerous everywhere, and dragging a corpse around will definitely slow down and increase the risk. The dead cannot drag down the living, and the living cannot be dragged to death.

Sophie looked at the two tombs, and even though the people buried inside were strange to her, they tugged at her heartstrings. With a sad expression, she plucked two wildflowers from the side and placed them in front of the grave to talk about her heart.

An Rui behaved indifferently, he was not the kind of sentimental person, and he would not be too sad about the death of a stranger.

After burying the dead, everyone set out on the road to Iron Cannon Harbor. According to the agreement, Anrego sent Beregor and the others outside the Misty Forest, only in this way can the Hawkeye Ring be obtained.

As the footsteps passed, the sadness caused by the dead gradually faded, and the words of the people gradually increased.

The bearded man talked a lot, and asked about An Rui's identities during the chat.

Although the two groups had just fought side by side, they didn't know much about each other, especially on the Berego side, and they didn't know what the two of them were doing.

There is really no need to hide this aspect, An Rui gave a general introduction to the situation of himself and Sha Fei, claiming that the two are the relationship between the captain and the first mate, and they stay here to build a ship, and once the ship is built, they will set off for business.

"You're the captain, and Miss Sophie is the first mate?" The bearded man asked, listening to his tone, as if surprised by this.

"Yes, what's the problem?" An Rui raised his eyebrows and glanced at the beard.

"With all due respect, Miss Shafi's strength seems to be far above you, and she can easily kill the Weasel King by herself, although your roar is also very powerful, but it is still inferior to her, so ......"

"So you think she's supposed to be the captain?" An Rui asked with a smile.

"Yes." The bearded man nodded honestly.

"Adventure groups are different from merchant ships." An Rui stretched out his index finger and shook it a few times, "As the leader of the adventure group, as long as the strength is strong enough, but being a merchant captain is a different matter entirely. If you want to be the captain of a merchant ship, you first need to have a certain amount of financial resources, and secondly, you must know how to do business and how to make money on this sea. Although the sea in the Age of Discovery is full of gold and opportunities, if you don't know how to do business, you may still lose all your money. ”

"Listening to your tone, you seem to know a lot about business?"

"It's okay." An Rui smiled and nodded, "The way of doing business is actually very simple, that is, to know where to sell all kinds of goods. Take the more common mist hidden grass here as an example, do you know where this herb is shipped to sell the most profitable? ”

"Well, it seems like this herb should be sold in a place like the Tears of the Stars Academy, wizards will love it." The bearded man replied after a moment's thought.

"The best option is actually the 'Castle of the Magic Hand', where the alchemists are working on a new potion, and one of the herbs is the Mist Hidden Grass. Transporting the Fog Grass there will sell it for about twenty silver coins. The price of buying the Misty Grass on Jingtie Island is five silver coins per plant, and if you buy the Misty Grass here and sell it at the 'Castle of the Devil's Hand', you can make up to four times the profit when you change hands, which is quite considerable. Moreover, the size of the fog hidden grass is very small, it will not occupy too many warehouses, and the voyage between the two places is not too far. Ann Rui said eloquently.

"Can you sell the Misty Hidden Grass for that much money if you take it to the Castle of the Demon Hand?" The bearded man couldn't help but be moved. Not only him, but Berego and another adventurer also had a slight change in their faces, and they set their eyes on An Rui.

"It's still a small amount of money. After all, the value of the Fog Hidden Grass is limited, and no matter how much it is doubled, it will not be much higher. If you want to make a lot of money, you still have to sell some valuable goods, such as iron cannons and weapons produced on Jingtie Island, which are the specialties of Jingtie Island. An Rui looked at the bearded man and asked with a smile again, "Do you know where the weapons made of Dao Refined Iron can be shipped and sold for a high price?" ”

"Weapons made of fine iron can be sold for a high price no matter where they are shipped, which is a very valuable thing in itself, and the weapons of fine iron island are very famous and can be recognized everywhere." The bearded man said it as a matter of course.

"It's true, iron weapons can be sold for a high price anywhere. However, there is a difference between a high price and a high price, and I know that a place will be in urgent need of fine iron weapons in the near future, and if you transport a fine iron weapon there, a weapon should be able to sell for a high price of more than fifteen gold coins. Only when it is sold at this price can it be considered profitable. ”

"Isn't it? How can it be sold for so much money? Where is that place, I'm going to resell fine iron weapons! The bearded man was surprised again, and his eyes widened.

"What exactly is the place, with all due respect, this is a trade secret." An Rui smiled mysteriously and sold a pass. After the new ship was built, the first goods he had to resell were fine iron weapons, and relying on the experience of his previous life, he knew where to sell it at the highest price and obtain the most profit. Of course, this kind of thing is inconvenient to disclose to the outside world, if it is leaked out, and it is known by other maritime merchants, it will definitely be the first to be taken, in that case, the fine iron weapon will not be able to sell for a price.

For this kind of thing involving interests, An Rui refused to say, and others naturally couldn't ask more, so the bearded man had to change the topic.

Through this conversation, Anrui proved his qualifications to be the captain of the ship and silenced others. No one questioned his qualifications to be a captain, after all, for a merchant ship, profit is the most important thing, and only those who can bring the most benefits are qualified to be the leader.
