1042. The Magical Core
The small town of Rees is located in the middle of the western part of the Sayroman Plateau at the foot of the mountains.
Heavy cavalry broke through the Cross Square in the town of Reese, and a large number of hellhounds and cryptmen fled outside the town.
A large number of heavy cavalry had been ambushed outside the town, just waiting for these low-level demons to leave the town and meet the charge of the heavy cavalry on the flat and vast grass......
Purple blood stained the green meadow.
This time the capture of the council town was particularly smooth, there were only seven or eight thousand low-level hell demons in Reese Town, and after cleaning up these hell demons, the coalition still had to routinely search for the remnants of the demons in the town, and the other was to find the survivors in the town.
Knowing that there would be no survivors, Surdak would have the main attacking army search each more time he visited a new town.
After the death of the Crypt Lord Dognes and the Hellhound King Bassamüller, the Helldemons seem to have become a scattered sand, and the frontier town on the westernmost side of the Sayroman Plateau has even been forgotten by the Demons.
Surdak arrived here with the Bena coalition and captured the town in only half a day.
This made Surdak even feel the urge to capture the next town without stopping, but considering the subsequent supply of the legion and the division of the spoils, the army still had to stay outside the town of Rees for a while.
……
The coalition forces have won several victories in recent times, and have accumulated a large amount of loot in their hands.
In the tent of the barracks where Surdak was located, the Crop Watchman merchant group brought a large amount of wheat flour to solve the urgent needs of the legion, so he received a fifty percent share of the booty purchased by the military merchant group.
As the third largest trading house in Ruit City, the red-haired Jeffrey is quite confident in this.
But when everyone is outside the town of Rees, they see the scene of the heavy cavalry hunting hellhounds.
This made Geoffrey understand how the legions harvested the wealth, and the horsemen's long-handled battle axes were like huge scythes, and when they rode their horses and swung their great axes at the hellhounds, they were like standing in a wheat field sweating and wielding their scythes......
Those dark walnut-sized magic cores were almost packed together in boxes, and now the entire barracks tent was full of such boxes, and Surdak had asked all the boxes to be opened, and the black ones inside were all magic cores, a total of eleven boxes.
Standing in front of the box, Surdak asked the red-haired Jeffrey:
"Each box contains five thousand demon cores, this hellhound is not a second-level demonic beast, but the yield rate of the magic crystals in the skull is much higher than that of the first-level demonic beasts, the market price is one gold coin, these eleven boxes are exactly half of the loot we have harvested in the recent period, as for those hellhound teeth and claw blades, we have not left, maybe the warrior can collect some in his private hands, how about it, can these demon cores be eaten?"
The red-haired Jeffrey hesitated, but did not question Surdak's magic core crystal rate.
I was thinking that if I could buy some of it first, I would return to the camp to unlock it overnight, and then take the magic crystal inside back to exchange it......
"I don't want you to move back and untie it overnight, and then send the magic crystal to me, I want gold coins to trade." Surdak seemed to know what he was thinking, and directly blocked his way.
The red-haired Jeffrey could only smile bitterly: "Commander Surdak, can you give me some time, who can carry more than 50,000 gold coins at once......"
Surdak also agreed on the spot, saying:
"Of course, we can trade again next time we transport grain, now you can take out some and go back to check the quality, I will put a seal on these wooden boxes, but you better make a good amount in advance, I'm not sure how much this magic core can increase by that time, after all, you want to eat fifty percent of the loot."
"That's half?" The red-haired Jeffrey asked, somewhat surprised.
Surdak casually picked up a helmet, scooped up a helmet core and put it in his pocket, handed it to the red-haired Jeffrey, and then said: "Of course, don't fight the other half, the merchant who bought it is already waiting outside, but we have priority in choosing the big customer." ”
The red-haired Jeffrey was not polite, took the pocket containing the magic core, and said respectfully to Surdak: "I'll bring the money as soon as possible." ”
"Then please...... Let's do it as soon as possible! With that, Surdak got up to see off the guest.
……
When the merchant Dirk walked to the military tent, he happened to see the red-haired Jeffrey walking out while wiping his sweat.
Everyone is doing business in Ruit City, they know each other very well, but they are not friends, the merchant Dirk nodded slightly to the red-haired Jeffrey as a greeting, seeing Jeffrey's desire to speak and stop, he was a little puzzled, but he couldn't stop and chat, so he could only step into the barracks tent.
Surdak had already prepared a list of purchases and handed it directly to the merchant who came up to greet him.
There are all kinds of items to be purchased on the list, but the first three seem to have been crossed down with charcoal, although the horizontal line is crossed, but the text is not completely erased, and it is written:
A single piece of Demonic Pattern Constructed Shoulder Armor with a slight increase in strength and skill collision
One piece of Goge Warcraft leather with fire resistance
A bottle of secondary healing potion, the nemesis of death
The following is a list of items that have not been spent by the black line, and at the front are some ordinary magic weapons, which are bought in the magic shop, at most thirty or forty gold coins, but there are a hundred pieces written on it, and they are only limited to swords, shields, bows, crossbows, and spears.
This is obviously a lot of business, and the list is more complicated, magic daggers, ordinary leather armor, long leather boots, and so on are in demand.
Merchant Dirk roughly calculated that these were orders of about two thousand gold coins.
When he looked at Surdak, he saw that Surdak had two wooden boxes in the barracks tent, and when he lifted the lid of the boxes, they were full of magic cores.
"This is the loot we have recently harvested, if you want to become our military merchant, you probably want to buy some loot, I can provide you with two boxes of magic cores, each box of five thousand, these two boxes are exactly 10,000 magic cores, the purchase price is one gold coin, if you want to trade gold coins now, if you want other loot, you have to decide in advance, we have not kept other loot yet."
Merchant Dirk was not surprised, and asked calmly, "Commander Surdak, with all due respect, these demon cores have not been selected after harvesting?" ”
Surdak smiled without saying a word, he bent down, and poured most of the box of demon cores into the big tent of the barracks, and said to the merchant Dirk, "Do you want to cut a few to see if they are in good shape?" ”
Merchant Dirk nodded repeatedly.
"You can choose some at will, and I will help you smash it open, but the magic crystal stone inside is broken, and it is yours." Surdak commanded.
Merchant Dirk hurriedly did so, randomly selected twenty magic cores in the demon core pile, and said, "Naturally, it is my ......"
Surdak summoned Gullitham and asked him to smash the core with a sledgehammer.
The outer skin of the magic core is one of the materials used to make the magic box, which can not only seal magic fluctuations, but also keep the magic power from spreading, and the texture is extremely hard, but under the ogre's sledgehammer, it still easily cracked, and the magic crystal inside also cracked all over the place.
Merchant Dirk didn't expect that there was a full-sized magic crystal in the first magic core, and then it shattered into countless pieces.
Gulit didn't pause, clanging and shattering ten in one go, maybe it was the luck of the merchant Dirk, there were three magic crystals out of just ten magic cores, all of them were smashed by Gullitm without exception......
It made the merchant Dirk shout again and again to stop, and refused to give these magic cores to the ogre to smash the walnuts.
He then sent his men back to the caravan, and it didn't take long for them to deliver 10,000 gold coins and escape two boxes of magic cores......
