Chapter 96: A New Path to Wealth
William was holding a feather in his hand, measuring it carefully. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This feather, with its whole body in inky black, is extremely smooth and beautiful.
These are the feathers that only grow on the top of the head of the female horned eagle. During the breeding and mating season, the female horned eagle will shake her head and swing this special feather to show her charm.
"This feather is called a golden feather, and only the top of the female's head grows?"
William glanced at the leader of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment beside him and asked out loud.
The 'Jackal' nodded, "Yes, Master William. Moreover, each female horned eagle will only have one on the top of her head. Even if it is unplugged, no new golden feathers will grow. ”
"You said before that this golden feather is the most precious thing on the horned eagle, and it is the best material for making hat feathers. So, how much is this golden feather worth?" William asked.
"Prices vary from place to place. However, if you take these feathers to the imperial capital and sell them, you should be able to sell them for about one gold coin, which is also the origin of the name Jin Ling. The jackal said bluntly.
When he was young, he took his mercenary group to travel north and south, hunting all kinds of low-level magical beasts, doing tasks, etc., even the most dangerous Aaron Mountains, he went on adventures.
Now that people are middle-aged, they have naturally accumulated a lot of experience, and they know the most about low-level magical beasts like horned eagles.
"Jin Ling, can you sell one gold coin for one?" William was slightly taken aback when he heard the jackal's offer.
Last night, they had hunted nearly 3,000 horned eagles, and aside from everything else, there were more than 1,000 golden feathers collected from the female horned eagles alone.
In other words, the basket of feathers on the ground is more than a thousand gold coins!
More than 1,000 gold coins, even if William, who is now wealthy, can't look at it, but how did these more than 1,000 gold coins come from?
Yes, it was picked up!
Last night, with the Jackal Mercenary Group as the main force, the high-level knight Kane and the middle-level samurai Hai Rui, as well as Sumera's covert assistance, attacked a large group of horned eagles in Dodora, and before they were made three minutes, they were instantly wiped out.
Originally, William thought that his trip to Haimanxing Province this time, in addition to building a territory, would have to spend a lot of energy to eliminate all kinds of dangerous monsters, beasts, etc. entrenched in Haimanxing Province, which was thankless.
But now it seems that what kind of hard work this is, it's just here to pick up gold coins!
This is still the Hidas Mountains in the Province of Haiman, not counting the other mountain ranges. There are also some uninhabited mountains, and there may be some kind of magical beasts entrenched in them.
What is a bonus? That's it.
"No matter what you say, the Horned Eagle is also a low-level magical beast, in addition to this kind of golden feathers, the Horned Eagle should also have a magic core, right?" A smile appeared on his face, William was in a good mood, and asked with a smile.
"Definitely. Hearing this, the jackal said, "But the magic core in the horned eagle's body is too small, and the fingernails are a little bigger, and the energy contained in it is very small, so it is not very valuable." ”
After a pause, the jackal continued: "Somewhat similar to Jin Ling, Jin Ling is sold by bundles. A bundle of 100 pieces, a bundle of 100 gold coins, and the core of the horned eagle is sold by the pound. There are almost a dozen gold coins per catty. ”
When William heard this, he was a little disappointed.
The golden feathers of the horned eagle are so valuable that they can be sold for a gold coin each. However, the magic core of the horned eagle is inevitably too cheap, only a dozen gold coins per catty.
That's by the pound!
God knows how many magic cores you have to use when you weigh a pound.
Disappointment to disappointment, William thought about it carefully, and he was relieved.
Contentment.
I have seen a new way of wealth, what is there to be unhappy about?
At this moment, Dodora walked through the gap in the clearing, where dozens of jackal mercenary groups were dealing with the corpses of horned eagles all over the ground.
"Are you feeling better?" William asked with a smile as he glanced up at Dodora.
Dodora said gratefully: "Thank you, Master William, for your concern, I'm much better." ”
William nodded slowly.
He stretched out his hand and patted the more than 100 guards of the Lester family who had been brought from Sunset Town, as well as Crean, Kova, Kane, who was closing his eyes in the corner, and the Warrior Hairui, and so on, and gathered everyone into the open space of the small camp.
Later, William asked them all to introduce themselves and get to know each other.
"Hello everyone, I am the leader of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment, and I owe allegiance to Master William. As for my name, I won't say it, you just call me a jackal. ”
The jackal took the lead and made a brief self-introduction.
Then, it was everyone's turn.
Like Kane, concise and to the point, like a Hairui warrior, friendly and kind-hearted. There are also like Kova, who can't find the north with excitement, and chatters a lot.
In the end, it was Sumera's turn.
As a necromancer with outstanding strength, and even a terrifying figure who assassinated the Pope of the Church of Light alone, Sumera seemed a little shy and did not dare to step forward when she introduced herself on the stage.
"This beautiful woman is my fiancée, the magician Sumela!" William exclaimed.
Many people were in an uproar.
"I've seen the Mistress!" everyone cheered.
Sumera's face turned red and she was even more embarrassed.
In a self-introduction that increased friendship, everyone mingled and found a sense of belonging to the team. The relationship between the guards of the Lester family and the members of the Jackal Mercenary Group is also much more harmonious.
Subsequently, under William's order, a team of nearly 200 people, which was completely integrated, set out again.
As dusk approached, the crowd had traveled for most of the day and reached the depths of the Hildas Mountains.
Along the way, William saw many well-preserved hamlets.
These were originally the residences of bearded men, hunters, and other famous people who had warned William that the Hills' mountains were in danger, and let them return the same way.
But at this moment, in these small villages, in the open space, on the eaves, there are many horned eagles.
In particular, in the fields and in the sky outside the village, there are many horned eagles flying in the sky.
Some of them are like woodpeckers pecking at insects in tree holes, pecking at the ground in the field, digging out the grain seeds inside, and gnawing on them cleanly.
Some of their scarlet eyes stared at William and his party, and a strange 'coo' sound came out of their throats, which was penetrating and the sound was transmitted far away, and it was only a moment before they summoned many companions to fly over, as if they were ready to rush up and attack William and his party.
There are so many horned eagles, overwhelming, and a large area of black pressing. William didn't need to count, but with a cursory glance, he could calculate the size of this group of horned eagles, at least more than 10,000.
It's a golden coin!
Without any superfluous thoughts, William saw this group of horned eagles, the magic spell moved, and with a wave of the Red Flame Magic Staff, a basin-sized fireball technique, carrying a scorching heat, instantly smashed towards the dense group of horned eagles in the sky.
There is no need to aim at all.
The number of horned eagles is too much, and William's fireball technique directly hit several horned eagles who couldn't dodge. They whimpered, and their whole bodies turned into roasted eagles, and their bodies burned violently, falling from the sky like a crash.
A battle that was simply one-sided, like a slaughter, began in an instant.
Someone took off his bow and arrows, and shot them with his bow.
The leader of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment is even more of a bow and five arrows, and in each round, he can accurately shoot down more than ten horned eagles, like a gourd.
The most ornamental is the Hairui Samurai.
He was obviously holding a long sword in his hand, but the speed of his dance was amazing. Where the horned eagles are dense, he drills wherever he goes, and every horned eagle that comes close to him is instantly strangled by the impenetrable sword net.
He is a fluttering butterfly, and wherever he flies, a large number of horned eagles fall.
Sumera didn't make a move.
She stood by William's side, silently watching the situation on the battlefield.
Kane was like a patron saint, spreading his wings and flying above everyone's heads.
Whenever a flock of horned eagles attacked, he drew his sword or slashed or swept, and a series of sharp sword arcs shot out, and the horned eagles directly died in a large area.
William really wanted to say a couple of things about him. With so many swords, everyone was safe, but the horned eagle was directly split in half, and many golden feathers were cut off by him with one sword.
But if you think about it, forget it.
Along the way, there was finally a chance to play handsome, and William was left to him.
