About a month has passed since the Battle of Shadow Castle.

After more than a month of cultivation, Rednor's body has gradually recovered, and although he can't fight with the master now, he is no longer in a big deal in the face of ordinary battles.

In this more than a month, not only Rednor's body has mostly recovered.

Tang En's strength also grew rapidly, and after more than ten days of preparation, he successively recorded the two second-level spells of the Strong Acid Arrow and the Spider Web Technique in the spiritual space.

In recent days, he has signed an agreement with Marianda for five years of income from the sale of white wax in exchange for a spell book in Marianda's hands.

With the spell book in hand, Don can disguise himself as a magician without worrying about being exposed in front of the goddess of magic.

After more than a month of development, the candle trade has stabilized.

Donne, Marianda, and Lucia's daily income stabilized at around forty silver coins.

Their team is now small in number, and it has been able to sustain itself for more than a year with the help of the looted property from the Shadow Castle.

Coupled with the fact that the soldiers get a fur income from hunting every day, the annuity of the squad members is already about the same as that of the soldiers of the city defense army.

However, if there is no stable source of income, this team can only sit on the mountain.

After a year or two, you will have to rely on the candle trade for support.

Therefore, the top priority is to find a way to make money for the mercenaries under his command.

In the past, the Dragon's Horn's most important business was to escort goods for the merchants of the Emerald City, and half of their staff were responsible for this task.

Now Don and Marianda are still wanted by Coubert, and they can't get involved in this kind of cargo business now.

Don followed Bruce to the bazaar to trade today, just to see if there was any good way to let the mercenaries below support themselves.

Don followed Bruce and John, and led seven or eight mercenaries into the South Market outside the Emerald City.

The Emerald City is the most important city in Northern Xinjiang, where countless Northern Xinjiang specialties and orc goods will be cleared and shipped to the major cities of the Hadma Empire.

In the Emerald City, there is simply no storage of so many goods.

So in the vicinity of the Emerald City, there are seven or eight large and small bazaars that share the logistics.

The South Bazaar is one of the larger bazaars, and the manager of the bazaar is an old aristocrat of the Emerald City.

In addition, the three gangs in the city all have some business here, and they have a little bit of oil and water.

Behind each of these gangsters, there is a nobleman standing behind each of them.

They act as thugs behind the aristocracy, brutally squeezing the flesh and blood of the commoners.

There is a lot of goods in circulation in the South Bazaar, and the most important goods now are the new candles with high prices.

It's not that no one has the idea of a new candle, but every time he trades, Bruce takes two professionals with him, so that they don't dare to start easily.

What's more, Bruce and these people also have some fame in the Emerald City.

After they crippled Barry and killed Allen, few forces who didn't have long eyes dared to touch the butt of Marianda, a tigress.

Don and the others first traded the new candles to three retailers, and then prepared to sell the dozens of furs they had accumulated.

In northern Xinjiang, fur is not a very precious treasure.

It is close to the Horn Forest and is teeming with a variety of wild animals.

Although noble lords restricted commoners from hunting in the forest, few professionals would abide by this restriction in the face of powerful professionals.

Throughout the vicinity of the Emerald City, there are more than 300 professionals who hunt magical beasts in the Horn Forest all year round, killing any beasts they encounter along the way.

An emerald city produces more than tens of thousands of beast skins every year.

If there are many things, the price will not be very high.

Tang En sold dozens of their furs for nine silver coins.

These hides have been in stock for ten days.

Relying on the income from selling animal skins, more than a hundred of them did not exceed the candle income of the three of them in a month.

Here, only the hides of Warcraft are valuable treasures.

Don walked around the nearby bazaar and noticed that the prices of all kinds of fine leather clothes were slightly more expensive.

A well-made fine leather garment can be sold for a high price of about two or three silver coins. Even cooked skins that have been nitrated can be sold for about 80 copper coins.

And the price of a piece of fur raw material does not exceed thirty copper coins.

The price difference between raw materials and products is more than ten times.

This is undoubtedly a lucrative business.

A profiteering business like this should have been very competitive.

But Tang En and the others inquired carefully, only to find that the number of merchants who did this kind of business was very small.

It turned out that in the entire Reos continent, the number of literate people was very small.

Only the aristocracy will have the opportunity to learn knowledge.

Among a hundred ordinary people, there may not be one who can read and write.

With such a low literacy rate, the productivity of zooming in to the entire Reos plane is naturally very low.

And the technology of nitrate fur is actually only in the hands of a few merchants.

For the sake of business security, they generally cooperate with the local aristocracy. Moreover, they will strictly guard the technical secrets and prevent ordinary workers from figuring out the technical principles.

The conservatism of technology made it impossible for the technology of nitrate fur to spread rapidly on a large scale, resulting in the scarcity of leather clothing production and maintaining a high price.

Don inspected the market for a whole day and decided to let the mercenaries below into the trade.

The technology of nitrate fur is very simple, you only need to find miscanthus nitrate, and mix it with a certain proportion of flour to make nitrate.

The only troublesome step is to purify the miscanthus nitrate, which needs to find nitrate ore after three steps: boiling, filtration, and cooling, before it can be purified to qualify the miscanthus nitrate.

There is no shortage of nitrate in the Horn Forest, and the Don have long found various minerals such as table salt and miscanthus in a salt lake.

With a little preparation, Donn was confident that he would succeed in concocting the nitrate and making the fine leather.

In addition, they can also boil salt in the horn forest and sell it to merchants in the interior, which is also a good business.

In the vicinity of the Horn Forest, the price of salt is not very high because there is no shortage of salt mines.

But in the inner regions of the empire, the price of a pound of salt exceeded twenty copper coins, which was already quite high.

After all, an ordinary person works for a day, and the daily remuneration is only a dozen copper coins.

Thinking of a way to continue development, Don also let go of his worries in his heart.

He was rare and generous, and let Bruce and the others purchase three full truckloads of goods.

By the way, Don also bought a lot of women's clothes for Marianda and Lucia, so that they would not wear wide black robes every day, which would make Don look very uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, Tang En and the three of them left the South Market with three carts of supplies and returned to the Horn Forest slowly.
