Chapter 6: Winning and Losing

Back to the church......

Digging out the golden suit again, Zheng Qiankun put it into a broken sack.

Bring a few sweet potatoes in a simple ...... Zheng Qiankun and Shi embarked on the journey of the first mission.

※※※

Shiya Mountain is a day's journey from Kassel Town, where Zheng Qiankun is located.

Zheng Qiankun had heard of Shiya Mountain...... Many merchants bought things like hides from Shiya Mountain.

Some merchants with capital specialize in hiring demon hunters to collect hides for themselves...... The price is several times higher than that of the Empire.

However, this is illegal in the Royale Empire - Demon Hunters can only accept Imperial missions.

For such a thing as collecting hides for merchants, the empire had a headache.

Also!

Merchants hire several times more gold than the Empire, which is highly tempting for the Demon Hunter.

If a large number of demon hunters worked exclusively for merchants, the skins of the Soarer Empire would surely rise.

You know, animal skins are one of the materials used by magicians to make magical equipment.

Shiya Mountain is full of bloodthirsty beasts, and there are first-order demonic beasts living in some places.

For an ordinary beast, its hides can be sold for up to a hundred copper coins, provided that the Demon Hunter sells the skins to merchants, of course.

However, the skin of the Warcraft is expensive, and even the lowest-grade first-order Warcraft can be sold for a good price of five hundred copper coins.

However, very few Witchers sell hides......

The hides purchased by merchants or empires are required to be extremely intact, and if they are slightly damaged, the price of the hides plummets, because the requirements are extremely high, and few witchers can completely pull off the hides of beasts or monsters.

Fighting these beasts is enough for the Demon Hunter to annoy, and it also requires a one-hit kill to get the full hide...... Obviously, very few witchers are able to do this.

Normally, beasts or monsters are consumed alive by groups of several demon hunters when they are scarred.

If a Demon Hunter can easily obtain a complete animal skin, it can be said that the Demon Hunter is quite a 'money' profession.

Regarding Shiyashan, Zheng Qiankun heard most about the purchase of animal skins by merchants...... Other than this, Zheng Qiankun knew very little about Shiyashan.

Zheng Qiankun also did some homework, although he couldn't afford to buy a topographic map of Shiya Mountain, but he still found some information from some old beggars who were missing arms and legs.

These old beggars were either soldiers or demon hunters, and because they lost their use value, these soldiers or demon hunters were abandoned by the empire without hesitation, and in the end, they became beggars.

It was in the mouths of these old beggars that Zheng Qiankun reluctantly drew a map of Shiya Mountain.

When Zheng Qiankun showed the map of Shiya Mountain to the stone, the stone couldn't tell that it was a map...... That's just scribbling on a rag with burnt sticks!

Shi thought that if this was also a map, only Zheng Qiankun, a 'painter', could understand it.

※※※

Until the sun set, Zheng Qiankun and Shi did not reach Shiya Mountain, and it seemed that they would have to walk for a while tomorrow.

Finding a place to stay, Shi and Zheng Qiankun lit a bonfire.

Taking out the map from the tattered linen clothes, Zheng Qiankun looked at it carefully.

The stone on the side sat bored...... Count the stars.

"Tomorrow I have to walk for a few more hours. Zheng Qiankun said.

"Forget it, I don't know if your map is accurate, and I can't even see a slightly larger mountain now. ”

Speaking of this, the stone pushed Zheng Qiankun a little uneasily.

"Are we on the wrong track?"

Rolling up the map, Zheng Qiankun put it away.

Completely ignoring the stones...... Dip your body to the ground...... Go to bed.

Stone: "......"

No matter how long they have known each other, Zheng Qiankun's ignorance always makes Shi want to cry.

Ay!

Being able to make such a 'friend of life and death' makes my life a fucking 'complete'.

※※※

The sky is bright in the east, and a new day is coming!

In the faint morning light, Zheng Qiankun and Shishi, who had set off early, saw a wooden road sign.

Shiya Mountain!

This wooden road sign reads these words.

"Don't tell me...... This place is Shiya Mountain?" the stone said.

Zheng Qiankun took out his map and pondered it carefully for a long time.

"That's right, this is Shiya Mountain. ”

"Isn't it?!" the stone had a feeling of being deceived.

Not really!

Such a small hill that is only a few tens of meters high can also be called - mountain?!

Compared with the surprise of the stone, Zheng Qiankun seemed much calmer.

Find a fairly smooth stone and sit down, take out the sweet potatoes in the sack, and Zheng Qiankun eats them.

"Don't be in a daze, finish eating and doing things. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Qiankun wrenched half of the sweet potato and handed it to the stone.

took the sweet potato, and the stone sat next to Zheng Qiankun.

"Zheng Qiankun, have you ever seen a wolf?"

"Wolf?" Zheng Qiankun glanced at the stone, "What do you think?"

Stone: "......"

Look!

Zheng Qiankun's words made the stone speechless again.

"Listen to the old beggars, the wolf is very big...... And it's a social animal. Zheng Qiankun said.

"In groups?" Stone was stunned for a moment, "How do you deal with that?"

"So!" Zheng Qiankun said casually, "you have to be a bait." ”

I don't know if I was frightened by Zheng Qiankun's 'careless' words, or if the stone ate sweet potatoes too quickly...... Anyway, this guy choked.

He coughed violently a few times, half loudly, and the stone felt a little better.

"Bait?" said the stone, "why should I be the bait?!"

Zheng Qiankun stuffed the small sweet potato in his hand into his mouth.

Clapping his hands, Zheng Qiankun gave the stone a 'bad' smile.

"Lose to me with your rock-paper-scissors. ”

Many times, when Zheng Qiankun and Stone have a conflict, they will always use rock-paper-scissors to solve it.

Belch...... I don't know why, it's usually the stone that loses.

Rock has an ominous premonition, but in this case, rock-paper-scissors is still the fairest solution.

"Stone!"

"Scissors!"

"Cloth!!"

The stone is out of the stone, and Zheng Qiankun is out of the cloth.

Completely fulfilled his hunch, the stone lost.

"Bait!" Zheng Qiankun said, "I must survive!"

The stone had an urge to cry.

Since then, Stone has made a decision that in the future, he will never play rock-paper-scissors with Zheng Qiankun, which is not a 'fair' game at all.

Bang dang!

Zheng Qiankun 'poured' the golden suit to the ground.

"Helmets, armor, shields...... You put these things on," Zheng Qiankun said, "I'll just take the long sword." ”

“...... "The stone is weak. It's completely dawn......

Stone wears a heavy gold suit.

I really have to say that the Buddha relies on gold clothes and people rely on clothes, and now, the stone wearing a noble gold suit really has a bit of the majesty of a royal knight.

In addition, the golden yellow glow reflected by the sun on the golden suit - how the word "cool" is the stone.

The fly in the ointment is that this gold suit does not fit the size of the stone...... The golden helmet essentially obscured the view of the stone.

Had it not been for the stone moving the golden helmet behind his head, he would have barely had some vision.

Compared to the 'golden' stone, Zheng Qiankun was much more low-key, and the golden sword only reflected a faint golden light.

"Very handsome!" Mr. Zheng said.

"Cut!" the stone was a little unhappy, "Handsome has a fart...... It's not a decoy!"

"Don't worry! With the protection of this golden suit, the wolf can't bite you. ”

"It's not you who is the bait, and you will say cool things!"

"Don't worry, as long as we kill the two wolves, we will be eligible to go to the Demon Hunter Academy!"

The two wolves are only 1,000 copper coins, and they can't even afford to pay a month's tuition. ”

"As long as we kill with one blow...... Sell whole wolf skins. ”

"Are you sure that the wolf skin is complete?"

"The old beggar said that if you cut off the horns on the wolf's head, the wolf will pass out...... When the time comes, we will skin the wolves alive!"

The old beggar said...... If it's that simple, why don't those witchers get their wolf skins intact?"

"Eh, this is a secret, not many people know about it!"

To believe, or not to believe, this is the question.

In the face of Zheng Qiankun's flawless acting skills, Shi still chose to believe.

"Okay! I'll believe you once. ”

"Trust me...... Go, kill the wolf. ”

Hey, the poor stone was fooled by Zheng Qiankun like this.
