Chunmiao City's medicinal herb trading market is famous far and wide, and many apothecary merchants, alchemists, healists, kasia shamans, and noble servants who need to buy treasures such as ginseng and lingzhi will come here to buy medicinal materials.

The Alps are rich in land and resources, and the dangerous deep mountains and wild forests give birth to a variety of precious medicinal materials, and many people would rather risk their lives to go deep into the mountains to find and pick herbs, which are the most expensive.

The medicinal materials that Marco needed were not unique, but the price was too expensive, just a short finger of Blue Grass would cost a full five hundred gold coins!

Claude said that the grass was stained with the ambergris of the ice dragon, and it was extremely precious, and it was the alchemical material that alchemists could not ask for.

Jiajing quickly bought all the medicinal materials he needed, and with Claude, a senior alchemist, Jiajing was not afraid of buying fakes, and the price would not be too high.

However, the scales of the core fire snake and the blood of the rock horned dragon were difficult to find, and they were finally found in a large mercenary group.

The Rock Horned Dragon is a wurm beast, with hard scales and armor, and can also perform stone skin magic, it is ferocious by nature, heals wounds, and its blood is an excellent elixir, and many people will try their best to draw blood from it.

However, the Rock Horned Dragon was extremely powerful, and the mercenaries racked their brains to develop a hollow stabbing spear, the two ends of the spear were sealed, and there was a rope on it, once it pierced into the body of the Ceratosaurus, it would automatically draw blood, and then quickly recover.

According to these mercenaries, in order to obtain the blood of the Wurm Demon Beast of the Rock Horned Dragon, they invested twenty sheep as bait and lost more than a dozen members of the group, and finally used the blood-sucking spear to pierce the bridge of its most vulnerable nose, and got such a little blood as they wished.

A little bit of blood can be sold for a sky-high price of 1,000 gold coins, which is enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a lifetime. Therefore, many mercenaries are still willing to risk their lives to engage in such terrible gathering work.

Thanks to the leadership of the soldiers and the help of Claude, a knowledgeable alchemist, Jiajing spent less than 3,000 gold coins to buy all the medicinal materials that Marco needed.

If you buy it by yourself, I'm afraid it will cost you a few hundred gold coins more than you don't have to pay for it.

The squad leader and the soldiers were about to end their duty time, and they had to go back to the Imperial Barracks to report for duty, so they were ready to take their leave.

Jiajing saw that they had indeed helped him a lot, and he was not stingy at the moment, and generously gave each of them twenty gold coins.

The squad leader and the two soldiers originally just wanted Jiajing to go back and give them a few good words, so that they could be transferred out of the remote Nile military camp as soon as possible, who knew that they had unexpectedly harvested twenty gold coins, they were all overjoyed, and secretly praised themselves for their outstanding vision, and they recognized Jiajing at a glance as such a big financier, and after thanking Jiajing a thousand times, they went back happily.

Jiajing and Claude returned to the church clinic and saw that Marco was treating the other patients, but it was getting late, and there were not many patients in line, only two.

Marco couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that Jiajing had bought all the medicinal materials so quickly.

After he instructed his apprentice to take over his work to treat the patient, he rushed to take a large package of medicinal materials handed by Jiajing, and after a few brief explanations, he turned around and went into the inner room to make medicine.

After about two hours, it was already completely dark, all the patients were gone, and only Jiajing was left in the clinic.

The apprentice glanced at Jiajing and them a few times, hesitated, then turned around and entered the inner room, and asked Marco, who was boiling medicine for Punal, before he came out and explained to Jiajing embarrassedly: "My lord, it's getting late, the teacher is boiling medicine for my subordinates in the inner room, and the clinic is going to close now, the place here is narrow and the environment is simple, please go outside to find a place to stay first." ”

Jiajing looked at Punal, who was already covered with a blanket and lying on his back on the ground, and nodded: "It's okay, I hope that the little brother will help me take good care of him." ”

The apprentice couldn't imagine that Jiajing, who had been grumpy before, suddenly became so polite, he was slightly stunned for a moment, his cheeks were also unconsciously red, and he replied softly: "Of course, please rest assured!"

Although Punavi was reluctant to leave Punal, Jiajing had already opened his mouth, and the apprentice promised him that he would take good care of Punar, so he had to follow Jiajing and leave first.

Chunmiao City is much more prosperous than Na Xing City, with all kinds of shop signs, a dazzling variety of goods, and many pedestrians visiting the night market.

Jiajing and they had no time to wander, and they found a medium-sized inn and settled down, but after taking a shower in the inn, Jiajing couldn't sleep over and over, he was a little curious about the mercenary guild in the city, after all, by collecting all kinds of medicinal materials to sell at sky-high prices, the money was much faster than his tavern.

After thinking about it, Jiajing still got up, and he decided to find Claude to walk around with him.

Punavi had an injury, and after Marco's treatment, although the injury was relieved, he had not fully recovered, and Jiajing told him not to move around much, but to stay in the hotel and rest.

Claude used to go out to buy alchemy materials and magic equipment, and he had been to Chunmiao City twice, so he naturally knew where the Mercenary Guild was, even if there was no soldier to lead the way, he didn't need a local guide to guide him, so he took Jiajing and went straight to the Chunmiao Mercenary Guild.

Due to its proximity to the Alps, the Harunae Mercenary Guild is very lively, and even at night, there are still many mercenaries coming in and out.

There was a rune with a sword cross pattern hanging at the door, and Jiajing and Claude looked at each other and walked in together.

I saw that the hall was full of many mercenaries who came to look for tasks and partners, and the mercenary registration desk, task desk, and mission log board were also full of people.

Jiajing looked around, and suddenly looked at it, only to see a crystal magic task board full of various tasks. The mission written in red font on the top is actually to go to the depths of the Cursed Swamp to destroy the mutated three black dragons, and the first priority is to obtain the dragon crystal magic core of the three black dragons, and the difficulty level of the task is SSS.

The next one is to buy ten catties of memory metal, and the difficulty level of the task is actually SSS.

The third is to assassinate Frieza, the Knight of the Kasia Behemoth, and the difficulty level is also SSS.

Seeing Jiajing's confused expression, Claude explained to him: "Mercenary missions are divided into local missions and imperial missions, and imperial missions can be issued to mercenary guilds across the country through magic crystals, and the fees paid are generally five or six times more expensive than local missions. The tasks on this crystal magic board are all released by the Absolute Empire to the whole country, in order of difficulty level from high to low, as long as you pay enough deposit, even if it is to assassinate the monarchs of other empires, or even to capture super-level dragons and monsters, the mercenary guild will dare to announce it to you. ”
