Rich...... Wayward?

The merchant Malacombe was a little confused about Commander Surdak's thoughts, although he wanted to sell the two Thunder Rhinos, but he was even more worried that Commander Surdak would buy it, once he was not satisfied, if he wanted to return it at that time, how dare he refuse!

Malacombe guessed that it was likely that the Commander had recently made a fortune in Dodan Town.

With a lot of money, I don't know how to spend it, so I insist on buying these two thunder rhinos.

Malacombe felt that the Commander should be reminded.

So the merchant Malacomb said to Surdak, "If you keep these two Thunderrhinos and just want to keep them in the pen for ornamentation, then there is no problem, these two Thunderrhinos are indeed not bad, and you can enjoy a good travel experience with them once in a while." ”

After speaking, he lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice: "Especially the small wooden house on the back of the thunder rhino, these two wooden houses are simple versions with only basic functions, and you can turn this wooden house into the shape you want according to your preferences...... Beauty in the arms, it is definitely the ultimate enjoyment. ”

After saying that, he smiled obscenely, which made the little goodwill that had just risen in Surdak's heart also diminished.

Later, Malacombe added: "But if you buy them for long-distance transportation, I'm afraid it may not be possible." ”

The merchant Malacomb said the last words with great weight, striving for Commander Surdak to spend wisely.

Of course, Surdak could hear the meaning of Malacom's words, and he thought for a moment before saying: "The cavalry battalion occasionally goes out to fight, I need to set up a supply team, obviously these two thunder rhinos are a good choice, I have been stationed here for the recent period, as a garrison army, basically I will not go out frequently to carry out tasks." ”

When Surdak said this, the merchant Malacom's heart was a little more calm.

"If you're not too concerned about the occasional glitch, the Thunder Rhino can supply a cavalry battalion, but only if the supply line isn't too far." Malacomb said.

Surdak has been talking for so long, and he doesn't even know the price of the Thunder Rhino.

This giant beast, which is larger than the ancient elephants of the Yellow River, could not be as cheap as the ancient Bolai horse, so Surdak asked:

"So, if you want to sell, make a price!"

Malacom, seeing that Surdak did have the idea of buying a Thunderrhino, sat back on the couch and shifted his belly with both hands, the pile of fat on his body almost clattering the bones on his body.

Entering the familiar part of the merchant, Malacomb seemed much calmer, he paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "An adult thunder rhinoceros is difficult to buy in the market, but the market still has a clear price, usually the transaction price is about thirty-five magic crystals, although these two thunder rhinos have a small physical condition, but there is no problem with breeding in the animal pen, so this kind of thunder rhinoceros that has retired from the caravan is worth thirty magic crystals in the trading market, and the two thunder rhinos are discounted. You only need to pay the merchant group fifty magic crystals. ”

Surdak didn't expect one Thunder Rhino to be so expensive, so if you calculate it, four Thunder Rhino can probably be exchanged for a set of primary magic pattern configurations.

On the other hand, it doesn't seem to be very expensive, and when converted into gold coins, it is only more than 200 pieces, which is almost the price of ten Gubolai war horses, but it looks more valuable than ten Gubolai horses.

"In addition, I hope that the merchant group can establish a material transfer office in Dodan Town, and can do transportation business in Dodan Town." Malacomb offered a very good price for his two Thunderrhinos, and also wanted to get some compensation in other ways.

"That's fine." Surdak didn't see any shops like the carriage shop in Dodan Town, so he resolutely agreed.

The merchant Malacomb leaned forward awkwardly, rubbed his hands, and asked Surdak with some embarrassment, "Commander Surdak, I would like to ask, how can I get the right to trade the ghost-patterned red ants on the garrison's side?" ”

He also heard from others that the trade rights of the ghost red ants on this side of the barracks have always been in the hands of Commander Surdak, so he asked so.

Surdak hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have almost opened the magic crystals of these demon red ants, and the probability that these magic cores can open magic crystals is quite large, if I say that these magic cores are sold, each of them has to be exchanged for a magic crystal, it is obviously unrealistic." ”

"In addition to the magic core, the rest is the hard armor skin of the ghost pattern soldier ant, this part is indeed in my hands, and it is not that I want to press these hard armor skins in my hands, I plan to use these hard armor skins to create five hundred sets of light and strong war horse armor, and I will also take out some of them and send them to Bena City, I have some trade contacts with the Gophilo family in Bena City, and I will provide them with some Warcraft leather at the agreed price."

"Remove these two items, and there's nothing left." After Surdak finished speaking, he glanced at Malacomb faintly.

found that he was really disappointed, so he said: "But in addition to these, I also keep a part of the hard armor skin, the main purpose is to maintain the merit exchange list in the military camp, I probably want to raise a part of the reward, originally I wanted to take out some gold coins and magic crystals, and some monster leather as a merit reward, now I can also use the hard armor of these red ants to do this kind of barter trade." ”

"Whether you can establish trade in this area depends on whether you can source the goods we need." Surdak said to Malacom.

Malacombe asked curiously, "Like ......"

Surdak said, "Some knight-oriented single-piece Demonic Pattern Builds, of course, it's better to be able to purchase a complete Demonic Pattern Set!" ”

Seeing that Malacom's face was expressionless, Surdak said again: "Exquisite magic weapons, I don't want those flashy magic weapons, what I need can be used on the battlefield, strong, sharp, in short, it must be practical." Of course, if you can get your hands on an epic weapon, you can also talk about it. ”

Malacombe exhaled a long breath and said, "I know, I don't dare to boast about other businesses, but I can really find a procurement channel for this kind of magic pattern construction and magic weapons, this time I will return to Wilkes City, I will send someone to send you a detailed list, which has a basic introduction and market price, you can choose on it casually, when the time comes, I can take you to choose the magic pattern construction and magic weapons, and we will sit together and talk face to face." ”

Surdak didn't expect the merchant Malacombe to be able to get these goods, and immediately said:

"Of course it's the best!"

The merchant Malacomb stretched out a wet and cold hand, shook it with Surdak, and then said confidently:

"Then we're done,"

……

In a large open field outside the barracks stood two Thunder Rhinos, each looking like a small two-story house with an attic, standing in place munching on a square bundle of alfalfa forage, standing on the field, their mouths always chewing.

They are flanked by two large gantry wooden frames with grilles on both sides that can hold some wooden boxes and luggage rolls, as well as some food and daily necessities.

Usually this wooden frame will always be placed in the open space, and only when it is time to set off, the thunder rhinoceros will carry this shelf.

Now there is no cargo on these two wooden shelves.

The two pilots leisurely set up a tent under the wooden shelf, and they didn't know where to get the dried meat of half a moonblade fire wolf, so they set up a bonfire outside the tent, happily talking about this beast tide and the dried meat of the monster in front of them.

Both of them held a glass of ale in their hands, and when they spoke, they occasionally laughed, and the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.

Malacombe walked over with Surdak, followed by two followers, and walked directly to the feet of the Thunderrhinoceros to observe the two Thunderrhinoceros up close and check their physical condition.

The merchant Malacombe said to a native retinue wearing this animal skin robe behind him, "Horn, you can tell the Commander about the condition of these two thunder rhinos, and the usual need to pay attention to the top." ”

"Yes, boss!" The native, who had been quietly following the two, stepped out and casually agreed.

Then, under the neck of the Thunder Rhino, in a somewhat blunt imperial Chinese, Surdak was introduced to the load and food volume of the two Thunder Rhinoceros.

Surdak listened attentively, occasionally nodding his head.

The two riders who were sitting on the side resting saw that the boss of the merchant group was talking happily with the commander of the garrison camp next to him, so they hurriedly leaned over and followed the boss to stand by.

Seeing these two pilots with grease on the corners of their mouths, Malacomb patted his forehead, smiled at the two pilots and ordered: "These two Thunder Rhinoceros already belong to Commander Surdak, one of you two should stay, help Commander Surdak train two qualified pilots, see which of you wants to stay?" ”

Both riders were ready to return to Wilkes City, and they were a little dumbfounded when they heard the boss say this.

The two looked at the north city wall, and the sound of clanging and fighting could be heard outside the city.

Almost at the same time, the two pointed at each other and said loudly, "He wants to stay ......"

After finishing speaking, he was completely dumbfounded, withdrew his finger in a daze, and the two exchanged glances.

One of them stood up and said to the merchant Malacom: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to stay here, what is the situation here, you don't know, the ghost-patterned red ants may climb over the wall at any time to kill, although we are not afraid of death, we are willing to stay and help the garrison commander train the pilot, but when I think of my wife and children at home, my thoughts about them make me want to put down everything I am doing and return to them immediately......"

Malacomb looked at the other rider.

The rider wept and said, "Veteran, my youngest sons have only been born for a month, and you must not know how desperate I am to see them, boss, can I ...... Don't stay......"

"Alright! Absolutely, if you want, I promise you two will see your family in a week! Malacombe reached out and patted them on the shoulder.

The two riders looked happy.

Malacomb continued expressionlessly: "After you two go back, go to Muya to settle this month's salary, and then give me all the eggs, Lao Tzu raised you to work, and you don't want to do anything, so what use are you?" ”

Then he ignored the two stunned pilots, turned to the retinue in leather robes, and said, "Horn, you stay behind to help Commander Surdak train the two pilots, and make sure that they are familiar with the control of these two thunder rhinos. ”

"Yes, boss." The aboriginal retinue named Horn agreed.

That night, Surdak hosted a banquet in the town to entertain the merchant Malacom, and handed over fifty magic crystals to Malacombe.

There was no procrastination, nor did it take advantage of the situation to lower prices.

During the dinner, Malacombe also saw a half-elven archer covering his face.

So I was even more sure that this military and political officer in Dodan Town had similar hobbies to himself......

But then I was a little worried, worried about whether I could find a suitable gift.

……

Malacombe, the owner of the Thunder Rhino Merchant Order, left Dodan the next day, and Surdak personally went outside the town to see him off.

Sending off the owner of the caravan, Surdak called the carpenter in the town and asked him to conduct a preliminary survey of the wooden frame on the Thunder Rhino's body, the wooden house renovation project must be done, in order for the Thunder Rhinoceros to be able to pull the goods to the maximum, the wooden house on his back is as simple as a latrine.

According to Surdak's initial idea, there should be at least a two-bedroom flat-roofed wooden house with a kitchen and bathroom utility room, and the roof should also have an awning, which is a 360-degree observation deck on a sunny day.

In addition to this, two solid platforms were to be built at the front and back of the wooden house, to which he intended to mount two bed crossbows.

Ladders with safety handrails were also built on wooden frames, making the two Thunder Rhinos more practical mobile turrets.

When the aboriginal named Horn trained the riders for Surdak, he offered to ask for two more people, but he was very dutiful.

This Horn is also an animal trainer, and this time he rushed to Dodan Town with the merchant Malacombe, in fact, to treat two thunder rhinos.

The merchant Malacombe received news in Wilkes City that the two thunder rhinos were seriously ill and could not transport goods with the team, but when the merchant Malacombe took him to Dodan Town, he learned that the two thunder rhinos were just ordinary rotten toes, at most they were stained with acid and putrefaction, and the festering situation was more serious.

Surdak guessed that Malacombe might have used the question to dismiss the two lazy riders.

On the third day, Horn saw the wooden houses and platforms that the carpenters had built on top of the wooden frame, so he took the initiative to find Surdak and told him: "Although this big guy looks huge and thick-skinned, it is actually not a magical beast, once it appears on the battlefield, it will become a target for enemies because of its huge size, and they have no problem as a logistical transportation, but if they go to the battlefield to participate in the battle, they are very vulnerable. ’

Surdak implanted the life pattern on the Ghost Pattern Male Ant into the Thunder Rhino's body that night.
