Chapter 46 Distribution
We were led down to the nearest city in Bury, a small city called Wind Chimes Town, named after the wind chimes hanging from every house on the street, which has a permanent population of about 50,000, but it has a floating population of more than 100,000 every year.
Every year, a large number of mercenaries and hunters who live within a radius of hundreds of miles around the city enter the Silent Forest in the south, where they sell their harvest to merchants from the Chamber of Commerce, who then transport it to cities on the mainland.
Of course, transshipment of goods is naturally inseparable from the protection of mercenaries, so even such a small city has mercenary guilds and branches of many large chambers of commerce on the mainland, which is the biggest reason why Bury chose this place as a repair location.
Ryan has a lot of affection for Wind Chimes, because isn't the town of Takri, the closest to his hometown of Fog, like this?Ryan naturally thinks of his father when he sees the hunters coming and going in the town.
Of course, Ryan's hometown of Dense Fog is close to the Hengduan Mountains, where the terrain is more treacherous, far from being comparable to the vast Silent Forest. It is much more difficult to hunt and kill demonic beasts in the Hengduan Mountains than here, at least you don't have to go deep into the mountains, even if you are a novice who has just embarked on the path of mercenary, just on the outskirts of this silent forest, you can still hunt low-level demonic beasts and exchange their fur for gold coins.
As long as these mercenaries and hunters don't go deep into the depths of the Silent Forest, they don't have to worry about encountering powerful high-level magical beasts, and they don't have to worry about getting lost in it, so this place is much safer than Ryan's hometown, and naturally there are a lot more people.
As soon as Bury entered the city, he directly found an inn to live in, and it seemed that Bury was quite familiar with Wind Chimes Town, and believed that he had been here before. After settling everyone down, Burry got busy with Terdain. This time, the harvest of six arrows was not high, but it was quite lucky to be able to escape death.
According to the prior agreement, Ryan, Elendor and Dennis could share the first three magic items, and the two-handed greatsword that Ryan got was given to him by King Alexander, although the scene was critical, but Burry and Dennis still heard it.
The magic robe that Ryan got in the underground secret room, although others didn't know it, but Ryan still had a few vague words, anyway, the magic robe plus the two-handed giant sword were just two, and he and Allendo had the right to divide them, and with Ryan's performance this time, Burry and the others took it for granted.
Dennis hadn't planned to get his hands on magic items, but the little surprise after escaping the catacombs made things perfect. Ryan and Allendo both have their own storage pockets, so naturally they won't covet the small storage pocket on the burly man's body, the quality of that magic item is far inferior to Allendo's, not to mention the one that Teacher Ryan gave him, but with more than two dozen gems and thousands of gold coins, there is no room anymore. But it's just right for Dennis, who doesn't have a storage pocket yet.
According to the prior agreement, the three of them are 50 gold coins per day, and then each of them can get a share of the harvest. However, most of the items harvested from this adventure were non-gold items, such as the gargoyle's ruby eyes, and the bows and arrows obtained outside the tomb, so Bury had to exchange a large amount of gold before he could fulfill his promise.
What's more, in this adventure, the dangers encountered are far in advance, even if Ryan and Alendor don't care, they have to give Pastor Dennis a compensation, which is a necessary quality as a mercenary captain, if the distribution is not fair, I am afraid that no one will want to join in and take risks with him.
So Ri was now busy selling about fifty rubies he had collected from the ruined gargoyles, as well as more than twenty gems he had gotten from the burly man. To be on the safe side, Burry had selected all twenty of the better gems and put them away to him, leaving only the ones with some breakage and cracks to meet the merchant.
Bury's intention is quite simple, firstly, he can't sell it for a good price here, and secondly, if he suddenly comes out with a large number of well-textured gemstones, it will be too dangerous, and it will not be fun to be targeted by others.
After a few days of busyness, Bury finally sold more than 4,000 gold coins, plus the nearly 5,000 gold coins collected from the group of mercenaries who wanted to take advantage of the fire, which is not bad. Bury roughly calculated the days, and hired three ** for more than 20 days, so he first calculated according to 30 days, 50 gold coins per day, and paid 1500 gold coins to each of the three Ryan, and then Bury took out the twenty gems he left, and according to the agreement of thirty percent, he selected the six gems with the best quality, and gave them two each, and the rest was naturally the harvest of six arrows.
For this gain, it can only be regarded as better than nothing, after all, the six arrow mercenary groups paid the price of the death of two members. Rather than these lifeless gems and gold coins, Burry would rather exchange it for his dead companions. However, to Burry's relief, this time he harvested eleven longbows, and it was very difficult to get this kind of bow with the previous strength of the six arrow mercenary group, and now with these weapons, Bury plans to return to his hometown to recruit some more young people and train them as mercenaries, maybe three to five years later, a more powerful six arrow mercenary group will reappear in front of everyone.
During the few days that Burry was running around, Ryan didn't go anywhere, and stayed alone in his room to practice the making of magic scrolls. After a lot of hard work, he drew a total of seventeen sheets, except for the five that were not of good quality, there were twelve magic missile scrolls that could be used, Ryan himself left two, and then the other companions each sent two as a souvenir, in Ryan's own words: Anyway, this thing can't be used by himself, it is better to use it as a favor, maybe it can play a greater role in the hands of others.
This move made Burry and the others full of gratitude to him again, and the always old and sophisticated Burry Regiment Leader even had tears in his eyes, he thought that Ryan had specially made it for the future development of the six arrow mercenary groups. Because even after hard training, Bury can train novices into qualified mercenaries, but without more than three missions to run in and accumulate actual combat experience, it is difficult for these guys to show their strength.
Now Burry and the other four have obtained a total of 8 magic scrolls, if they save a little, it is enough for them to deal with three mercenary missions to accumulate experience, isn't this what Burry wants the most? With these scrolls, although Bury has not yet started recruiting manpower, he is already full of confidence in the future of the six arrow mercenary groups.
