Chapter 18: Henry the Black Heart
Lu Ya then noticed, the people passing by around for some reason all stared at themselves and the others and the goods on their bodies with strange eyes, there was envy, jealousy, awe, etc., and Lu Ya and the others were inexplicable, at this time, Lu Ya suddenly saw two orcs not far away from the crowd walking towards him, and Lu Ya recognized them when he got a little closer, it was the two orcs who were in charge of night duty when he entered the market last night. "Hey~~ I finally found you, I said that this place is so big, why can't I find you, why did you come here to live," one of the two said. "Hehe, my name is Johnson, this is Boone, we are all patrols of this market, come, let's go in and talk" Johnson finished speaking and led everyone back to the inn behind him.
Lu Ya and the others, who looked puzzled, finally understood after listening to the explanations of these two people. It turned out that the two wanted to buy two straw wolves from themselves, and after figuring out the situation, Lu Ya spoke first. "At what price do those two want to buy our grass wolves?" "This ・・・・・・ this way, we don't want wolf skins, we just need their meat, just... 8 silver coins each" Johnson said with a puzzled expression. In fact, they buy grass wolf meat not only to fill the appetite, but to be able to cultivate, the promotion of the beast warrior requires a lot of energy to back, the vegetarian food on weekdays is obviously not comparable to the grass wolf meat, such a grass wolf is enough for them to practice for half a month, since he was sent to this place by the tribe, he has not made any progress for half a year, and now when they encounter the grass wolf meat that is rare in this market for a year, they have the idea of buying it, so they came to it early in the morning. "What!8... 8 silver coins" Brown suddenly stared at Johnson who said the price with his eyes wide and looked like he was about to eat someone, his beard trembling slightly. "No, no, we are willing to buy one for 10 silver coins, this is already a high price, and our brothers will buy two for a month's regular money, please be considerate of us and sell two" Boone, who was standing on the side, saw Berry's eyes and thought that the other party was thinking that the price was too low, and hurriedly said the highest price that the two of them could afford.
In the middle of the night, when Boone and Johnson walked out of the merchant gate carrying the carcass of a skinned straw wolf, Berry looked at the 20 glittering silver coins on the table with a grim look on his face.
"Money, silver coins, a lot of money, how many beasts ignore this."
Ruya waited for a long time, and before he saw Berry come back to his senses, he spoke cautiously.
"Uncle Bliff 20 silver coins are very much."
"It's too much, every time our tribe comes to trade leather goods in the past few years, it can't be exchanged for 30 silver coins, this grass wolf is worth 10 silver coins, no, they may have given the wrong money, let's go quickly" Bai Lifu looked excited as if he had hysteria.
"Calm down, Uncle Berry, they can't give the wrong money, what should we do, leave these medicinal materials first, let's find a place to sell the rest of these things first, go" Ruya denied Berry's point of view, the other party obviously knew better than himself and others about the purchasing power of coins, it was impossible to make that kind of low-level mistake, it could only be said that they were too lucky and obtained a batch of valuable goods.
Ruya and his party came to a shop where Berry used to trade in the eyes of all around. This is a three-storey wooden building, the façade is tall, the entire first floor except for a counter is full of all kinds of fur and mountain goods and other things, a thin orc old man looked at Lu Ya and others who entered the door with a smile in his eyes, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter to greet him.
"Oops~~ Welcome, welcome, come, come, all sit, sit" The old man felt the old man with a courteous face, and turned out a dozen wooden benches from the chaotic pile of goods for Lu Ya and a few people to sit down.
"Eh~ That's right, Boss Henry, please take a look at how much our things are worth, we are going to sell them for some beasts and ignore them," Bai Lifu said to the thin old man with some restraint.
"You're welcome, just call me old Henry, don't worry, my credibility doesn't know anyone in this bazaar, I'll show you" Old Henry's eyes gleamed even better after listening to Berry's words.
Ruya frowned slightly as he watched old Henry count the goods he brought, he could see that this thin old man was simply doing it with a few random flips with his hands, but his eyes were always staring at the corpses of the 28 straw wolves and he was reluctant to leave.
After a while, old Henry clapped his hands to signal that the inventory was finished, took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said.
"This, these ordinary fur mountain goods you brought will be counted as 30 silver coins for you, after all, are they all old customers, as for these grass wolves, I will give you more even the whole belt meat, 3 silver coins, how about it, this is a fair price, generally I don't accept these bloody goods, and when the time comes, I will have to find someone to peel and deal with something, and my cost is also very high" Old Henry said with a sad face, people who don't know still think he is a philanthropist. Old Henry recognized Berry from the Rua as soon as they entered the door, and the old trainee Lux who had passed his prime, had also come to him last year, when they had only brought some leather goods, and had given them some of the beasts that the great tribes used to feed pigs, and ignored them, and gave him gratitude and thanks. This morning, he didn't go out, I didn't know that there was news of this group of people everywhere outside, seeing that this group of turtles brought so many things this time, especially after the dozens of grass wolves came, he thought that they were on the road and had just been attacked by the grass wolves, other teams that came to trade, and picked up so many goods and wolf corpses, he never thought that it would be this group of people who killed so many grass wolves by themselves, he thought that although his eyes were a little dazzled, but it was still right to look at people, only the elderly Bai Lifu was a trainee wrestler, the others were ordinary orcs, and there were even three minors, how could he have the strength to deal with so many grass wolves。
Old Henry, who had a sad face, was about to accept the gratitude of the group of people who were grateful to Dade by Bai Lifu, and after waiting for a long time without moving, he slowly turned his head to look at the group of orcs of the Blackstone tribe, and suddenly realized how they looked at him so strangely.
"I'm tired of asking again, you mean to buy us grass wolves for 3 silver coins each, right?" asked Ruya with a calm expression as he rubbed his nose with his hand.
"Of course, my old Henry is not bullied, and it is definitely a very fair price," although the old Henry felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he still said very firmly.
"Uncle Berry, can you beat people in this bazaar?" said Ruya back to Berry.
"Uh, no, or I'll be caught by the vigilantes," Berry replied with a suppressed rage.
"Let's go, this kind of profiteer is really hateful" Hearing that he couldn't do anything, Lu Ya could only give up, and after speaking, he walked out with the others who had already gotten up.
Seeing that the fat in his mouth was about to fly away, Old Henry was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly rushed out.
"Hey~Hey~~ Come on, come on, someone, someone is robbing something~" Old Henry suddenly rushed out of the door and pulled Ruya's arm and shouted heartbreakingly.
The sudden change made Lu Ya burst into a foul mouth, "Damn, you're really TMD, it's a strange thing."
After struggling a few times, he didn't open his eyes, and the passers-by who gathered more and more, old Henry, shouted even more fiercely.
"Everyone, this group of people came in and grabbed my poor old man's things and went out, it's so lawless" Old Henry's voice was extremely sad, and he really smelled the tears of the sad listeners, and for a time more people gathered around.
Looking at the onlookers pointing around, Ruya's face became more and more difficult to look at.
"Old man, you keep saying that we robbed you of things, what do you say we robbed you?"
Old Henry, who bowed his head and pretended to wipe his tears, rolled his eyes and said.
"You people robbed these straw wolves of mine," old Henry said and let go of Ruya's arm, pounced on the corpse of a straw wolf, his face was full of intoxication, and his hands stroked the already stiff wolf corpse, and Ruya felt a chill when he saw it.
"Hehe, you old man said that these grass wolves are yours, but what proof is there" Lu Ya laughed angrily at the old man.
