Chapter 41: The Demon Kelp
"It's all some high-quality swordfish skin, three silver scales and one one, plus these fish bones, you have a total of gold scales. ”
Angus put down the fish skin in his hand and said, In fact, if Zhang Fang went to some caravans outside, a complete knife fish skin would have a golden scale, but as long as he lived in the middle of the kelp, he had to accept this kind of exploitation.
"Okay!"
Cleveland readily agreed, and this was not the first time, and then he hesitated a little, fell silent, and seemed to make the next difficult decision, and it took a full half minute to take out a small cloth bag from the inner pocket of his jacket, and from the inside came six or seven gold scales, as well as some scattered copper and silver scales.
"Angus, I've heard that you can get magic kelp here, is it true or false?"
Demon Kelp, that is, a medium potion, the liferoot in the middle of the kelp, one plant is worth ten gold scales, and the corresponding magic power is also five times that of a normal small potion
"Well...... this"
Angus touched his chin and didn't speak, looking a little troublesome, Cleveland suddenly became a little anxious, his sister was in need of a magic kelp very much, and he also inquired for a long time before Angus knew that Angus had the means to get it, and if Angus refused he didn't know what to do.
It was almost time for Angus to speak.
"There are ways, but you still lack a little bit in terms of this price, at least fifteen gold scales. ”
"Fifteen!"
Cleveland exclaimed, he had saved up more than two years to accumulate ten gold scales, and suddenly five in multiple places would mean another year, and the key was that the group of swordfish had already been killed by him, and it was difficult to gather five gold scales in a year.
"No, Angus, I heard last time that only ten gold scales are enough, why do you change the hexagram temporarily?"
"Cleveland, a magic kelp is naturally only worth ten golden scales, but you don't think I have a magic kelp in my hand, the treasury is all counted, for His Highness and other magicians to practice, no one can take it, only those who are still growing in the fertile soil I have some channels, but to take a big risk, it must be to use the golden scales to dot up and down, otherwise it will be a matter of hanging Xingtai, only five, not much." ”
Reason is this reason, you can't let people pay for it themselves to get through, isn't it, suddenly Cleveland was worried, but no one noticed that Jer, who had been standing aside, heard the word fertile soil and his eyes lit up suddenly.
For Gyer Angus didn't care at all, others thought that secretly buying and selling potions was a very serious matter, but that was only for outsiders, for the few people in the middle of the kelp, as long as they knew the rules, it was not a big deal.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this kind of thing to hang on Xingtai.
"I have a solution, though"
Looking at Cleveland with a sad face, Angus touched his chin without any beard and said slowly.
"What's the solution?"
Cleveland perked up and immediately asked.
"It's very simple, I'll lend you five gold scales and you will work for me for three years, how about it?"
Three years, five gold scales, for the average mermaid is earned, but for Cleveland, he normally has five gold scales a year, three years is really a bit long, but the life span of the Khatam people is one hundred and fifty years old, and it cannot be calculated according to the human view of time.
Cleveland hesitated, the magic kelp was what he had to do, or he would have left the area, but he didn't have enough gold scales, and he didn't know what to do, so he was very entangled.
"Think about it first"
Angus set his eyes on Jer, this guy followed Cleveland, did he wear any tribal insignia, and he was probably also a low-level outcast, but he also looked strong, and he was probably also a ruthless character, so I don't know if he could use some means to pull him in.
"What are you going to buy?"
"I want to buy you sea rice, two yuan. ”
Jerle had already spoken out the words he had prepared
"Three-yuan sea rice, one yuan is 3 silver scales plus 2 copper scales, in exchange for copper scales, that is, 32 copper scales, 2 yuan is eighty-two copper scales, just erase a fraction, 8 silver scales. ”
Angus opened his mouth and said nonsense, casually took out two small bags of sea rice from the shelf, the homeless people are easier to deceive than those small tribesmen, they don't know arithmetic at all, as long as the number is a little bigger, they can't come, but to master the degree, these low-level fools may not want to go too far, and they must be fast, and they can't give these guys time to think.
It's just that before he could put Haimi down, Jer's confused voice came and made him stunned
"Isn't it because of the 6 silver scales plus 4 bronze scales?"
Győr also served as a guard chief on weekdays, and stayed around the chief's house, but once he was forced by Connors to memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table, he didn't know what the pain looked like before these things were memorized completely, and the chief liked to ask if he was fine, making him nervous all day long, and he was very sensitive to numbers.
"Uh......"
Angus was stunned, no, how could a mere homeless person figure it out? But it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, and his mouth was lined up
"Miscalculated, miscalculated, old and bad head, little brother Mo blame is indeed 6 silver scales and four bronze scales"
"It's fine, but I'd like to buy a potion seed too. ”
Jair took the bag of sea rice and said, Angus showed a strange look, except for the magician, basically no one else will need it, and although the price of potions is not higher than that of potions, but one also needs a gold scale, who has nothing to do will do this kind of thing.
"What do you want potion seeds for?"
"My sister has blue and white disease, although it is not very serious, but it also needs to be treated, I heard that the magic kelp seeds in the middle of the kelp can cure blue and white disease, but I looked at the one you just picked, I am a resident of a small tribe in front of me, and I can't tell if the potion seeds are good or bad. ”
"You want to go into the fertile ground, no, not even I can't. ”
Angus flatly refused, and the fertile soil began to be the most important, even the entry of outsiders in the small part of the seaweed was subject to heavy punishment, and the kelp in the middle of the land was also large, and there was a group of people in charge of potions, except that they could also be used by the fishing team, and the homeless people were brought in, no matter who was on the execution table.
"I'm just looking outside, just make sure it's freshly plucked. “
"That's it, that's not much of a problem, but one gold scale is definitely not enough, three!"
Originally, he wanted to say five, but at that time, blue and white disease did not necessarily need the seeds of the magic kelp, and it was okay to eat a little more magic potion seeds, and he was afraid that the other party would not do it.
"Good. ”
Jair happily agreed, and at the same time took out a gold scale from his bosom as a deposit, and the chief gave him the cost of five gold scales this time, and there was more than one gold scale left, depending on whether the operation could be successful.
"I agree. ”
Just when Gyer and Angus reached an agreement, Cleveland also agreed, and Angstone was overjoyed, as long as he joined his gang, he didn't want to go out again, thinking about the money he made from smuggling searice, Angus could hardly control himself.
That's a multiplication, and the hanging platform can't stop the rolling golden scales.
Then the two of them were squatting in the small kelp shop, waiting for a short break at noon, when Angus took them to the fertile land, I don't know if it was the inspiration of Jer, Cleveland also asked to see the potion picking, so Angus pouted secretly, two lowly outcasts, probably have never seen a medium potion to brag to others after a good look.
At last at noon, the shop rested briefly, and Angus left the shop to a servant and led the two to the fertile soil in the middle of the kelp.
There are ten acres of fertile soil for the cultivation of magic kelp, and even if the place required for each magic kelp is huge, it is very productive, and it will bring at least thousands of golden scales to the middle of the kelp every season.
The entire fertile soil is surrounded by gray sea iron and wood, and three watchtowers are erected around it, and a small group of fishermen can be seen swimming constantly on the fertile soil, and the protection measures can be said to be almost extreme.
"What merfolk?"
Before the three of them could get close, they could vaguely see the appearance of the demon kelp, half a meter high, gray, and there was nothing special about its appearance, it was ripe, and it was waiting to be harvested.
"Rabo, it's me. ”
Angus swam out.
"It turned out to be Uncle Angus"
Rapo glanced at Győr and Cleveland, revealing a look of surprise, and pulled Angus to the other side, and asked in a low voice
"Why is there one more?"
"It's okay, this guy only needs a seed, just get one for him when the time comes, and I'll give you a gold scale later." ”
Rapo showed a hint of joy, his salary for working in the fishing team for a month was only two gold scales, the magic kelp didn't know how many quarters he had won, the magician didn't like to use seeds to cultivate, it was very troublesome, and the seeds of the demon kelp were hoarded a lot, and the seeds of the magic kelp were not valuable, nor were they expensive.
"Isn't there a second-class demon kelp?"
Angus immediately shifted his attention to the potion, the medium potion is much more expensive than the small potion, if he is not careful, it will be downgraded, and it will become an inferior medium potion, the quality can only be compared to the top small potion at most, and the price will immediately drop to four gold scales, Angus can only get this kind of inferior potion, and the real magic kelp is not something he can touch.
As for the difference between the two, no one can see it at all, except for the magician.
The most important thing is that Cleveland's sister's illness may not be cured by a complete Chinese potion, let alone inferior, and when the time comes, he can only continue to beg him for his sister's life, and in another five or six years, this guy Cleveland will be ready to be his lifelong coolie! Only a mermaid like him, who is stronger than the fishermen in the tribe, can ensure Haimi's safety.
"There are seven or eight more. ”
......
Angus led the two to the edge of the fence, and Rapo swam in, and the other fishing team saw that it was Rapo who brought the man outside the fence and just glanced at it.
Jer looked at the mermaids patrolling back and forth, inside the fence was the fertile soil of the magic kelp, he was less than five meters from the nearest magic kelp, his heart was beating 'poof', and when everyone didn't notice, he took out two or three round things from his sleeve pocket, flicked them lightly, and flew into the fence.
