109. Sacrifice 2

The newly erected tent was surrounded by new soil.

Four ropes extend outward from the top of the tent to hold the raw cowhide tent in place.

Standing in front of the leather merchant's tent, there was a faint smell of salted fish wafting in the air, and many newly ripened skins were drying, so the smell here was naturally not good, but it happened to be the rainy season, not a good season for drying skins.

When the leather merchant saw that a guest was coming, he quickly put down his work and let the apprentice continue stirring the skins in the large barrel, and came to us.

He rubbed his hand on the leather apron, saw Surdak wearing heavy armor, and knew that he was a soldier in the barracks, so he asked Surdak and He Boqiang enthusiastically: "What do you two need?" ”

In the eyes of the Imperial merchants, every soldier is a high-quality customer, and in order to save military expenses in terms of logistics materials, the Imperial Empire military encourages the Imperial merchants to do business with the army on the war plane, and in order to avoid disputes during transactions, a series of protection laws have also been introduced.

The reason why the military is doing these things is to fundamentally solve the big problem of logistics and material transportation.

Therefore, the merchants were protected by the military in the vicinity of the camp, and there were very few such forced buying and selling.

Surdak was very direct, pointing to the demon antelope heads on the shelves over there, and said to the leather merchant, "I want to buy a few antelope heads......

The Demon Antelope Head is not very precious, except for the occasional magic core from the skull, the most valuable thing on the sheep's head is the pair of antelope horns, but a cut Demon Antelope horn is only worth 1 silver coin.

Not to mention that the chance of the demon antelope opening the magic core is less than one in five, even if the magic core is opened, the probability of a first-level magic beast like the demon antelope containing the magic crystal in the magic core is also pitifully low, and even one in ten.

Fifty demon antelope heads, if you are unlucky, you may not even be able to touch the fragments of the magic crystal, and if you want to bet on the magic crystal, the risk is still quite large.

When the leather merchant saw that He Boqiang and Surdak were not buying leather goods, most of the enthusiasm on his face disappeared.

But he still brought the two of them to the shelf, the shelf was simply nailed out of wooden boards, the rough texture on the wooden board was clearly visible, and it was full of demon antelope heads, these demon antelope heads had been disposed of with blood, the skull had not been opened, and there should still be magic cores inside.

Seeing Surdak looking at the head of the demon antelope, the fur merchant asked:

"You're gambling on the Magic Crystal?"

"Yes, our brother is very interested in gambling on the demon core."

After Surdak finished speaking, he reached out and put his arm around He Boqiang's shoulder.

He Boqiang turned to the side and looked at the demon antelope head on the shelf.

The leather merchant hesitated for a moment, and didn't seem to want to sell these demon antelope heads, he said: "Well, the rate of these demon antelope heads out of the demon core is actually very average, do you want to think about it again?" ”

Surdak and He Boqiang glanced at each other, and then Surdak smiled and said:

"We just like to gamble, so many demon antelope heads, as long as ...... As long as...... I don't believe that you can't open a magic crystal, don't you collect these demon antelope heads to gamble on magic crystals? ”

Seeing Surdak's question, the fur merchant explained:

"Heh, originally I planned to make these demon antelope heads into specimens and take them back to my hometown, some noble lords like to hang this thing in the living room of their own house."

Surdak rubbed his nose and muttered, "Those noble lords' hobbies are really unique. ”

The fur merchant was not angry when he heard this, but smiled at Surdak and said, "They just want to boast to the guests when they come to know that this thing was brought back from the hunting grounds, which is probably a pleasure for the rich." ”

"Actually, I don't know much about it, but I just bring these demon antelope heads back to Bena Province, and I don't have to worry about selling them, and the return is higher......," said the fur merchant sincerely.

Of course, Surdak didn't want to miss these demon antelope heads, and with these sacrifices, everyone in the second squad could receive the blessing of the sacrifice ceremony, so he decided to give a high price.

Surdak said to the fur merchants:

"Do you want to think again...... I'll exchange twenty silver hammers for a demon antelope head, and we will take all the demon antelope heads! ”

Twenty silver coins to buy a demon antelope head is not a high price for the fur merchant, especially the horns on the heads of these demon antelope are very well preserved, but it is still profitable to sell fifty sheep heads at the same time, and this thing is not easy to transport, since someone is willing to buy it, the fur merchant did not even think too much about it, so he readily agreed:

"Done! There were fifty-two of these demon antelope heads on the shelf, and all ten gold coins were taken. ”

Ten gold coins can be exchanged for one magic crystal, which means that as long as one magic crystal is opened among the fifty-two demon antelope heads, this transaction Surdak and He Boqiang can make a steady profit.

"Boss, you're really cheerful."

With that, Surdak smiled and took out a magic crystal from his money bag and handed it to the fur merchant.

Since Surdak took out a precious magic crystal, which was only a substitute currency for large transactions, and was more used for the trading of magical goods, the leather merchants were very cautious.

He first took it in his hand and rubbed it vigorously against his leather robe, until he polished the magic crystal stone so bright that even the dots of crystal filaments inside were revealed, and then he nodded slightly.

He took out another magic rune board, stuck the magic crystal on the gem base, and waited until the patterns on the magic rune board lit up one by one, and then he exhaled and confirmed the magic crystal of full color.

The Leather Merchant removed the magic crystal and carefully tucked it into his personal purse, his eyes filled with smiles.

He Boqiang and Surdak put the demon antelope's head into a linen bag, but it only took a few to fill a bag.

The leather merchant came out of the tent with a few linen bags and helped to assemble the heads of the demon antelope, and it was not until he walked out of the leather shop that Surdak exhaled a long breath and said to He Boqiang: "Little Dak, how did you find this leather shop?" Now that we're hunting demons, we seem to be more sure! ”

The two carried the heads of the demon antelopes back to the barracks, and the soldiers of the second squad were sitting in tents preparing for tomorrow's trip.

Seeing Surdak coming back from outside with a linen bag on his back, Augustus leaned over and helped take the linen bag on Surdak's shoulder, and asked curiously: "Captain, what is in this, it is quite weighty!" ”

Red Socks put down the long sword in his hand, leaned over and said with a smile while untying the rope at the mouth of the bag: "I guess it's a bag of canned luncheon meat, I've been tired of eating the marching rations recently, and the captain wants to change the taste for all of us." ”

He didn't pay much attention when he spoke, opened the mouth of the bag, reached out and touched inside.

Surdak hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the hand of the red sock, and shouted, "Hey! Be careful. ”

Red Socks froze in place.

As the mouth of the bag fell, the horns of the demon antelope inside were revealed, only half a fist away from Red Socks' hand, and as long as Red Socks' hand fell a little further, it might be pierced by the sharp antelope horns......

In the sweltering tent, the soldiers of the second squad saw a bag full of demon antelope heads, and their faces were very rich.
