Chapter 15: The Sale of Hides
The waiter said, "Because your hides are too valuable, I can't be the master, please wait a while, and soon the shopkeeper will come and talk to you personally." ”
I nodded helplessly, and could only wait by the counter, boredly looking at the products in the store. Many of the items look beautiful, but I'm not interested in them at all. Fortunately, it didn't take long for a graceful young woman to come over, but I didn't expect that such a large equipment store was actually a woman in charge. She took a closer look at the animal skins, especially the two seventh-level demonic beasts, and turned them over and over, and then said to me: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, I'm the shopkeeper here, you can call me Mrs. William, please come with me to the VIP room to talk in detail, I will definitely give you a reasonable price." ”
I nodded, and followed Mrs. William to the VIP room, which is actually a small living room, illuminated by a classical and delicate magic lamp, the small room looks bright and warm, I secretly praised, in such an environment, it is indeed much easier to negotiate the price than in the hall. As soon as I sat down, there was a maid brought tea up, just I flew for a long time, was very thirsty, took a sip, even if I don't know how to drink tea, I also know that it is a rare good tea.
After seeing me drinking tea, Mrs. William had an admiring expression on her face, and introduced with a smile: "This is Tianxiang tea from the Elven Forest, which is very rare among the human race. ”
I was surprised and asked, "Isn't that the place where elves live?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It seems that the distinguished guests rarely walk around the continent, otherwise they would not know that although the elven forest is not open to the human race, the elves no longer only stay in the elven forest, since the Holy See reached an agreement with the elven empress and the beast emperor five hundred years ago, the elves and orcs have been able to live freely on the continent, but it is relatively rare." ”
I was so depressed that I almost fainted, all along, under the influence of the information sent to me by the Kali patriarch, I thought that the elves and orcs were still incompatible with the human race, and I didn't think that these were already old and old. Thinking that all the information I know now is at least 500 years old, it makes it hard for me to believe the real surname of this information, and it seems that it is necessary for me to start anew. But in fact, I was wrong, my understanding of the elves has always been limited to the part obtained from soul magic, and the reason why I have never known the recent situation of the elves is because I have never mentioned it to the Kali patriarch.
At this time, Madame William had already estimated the price and said, "Honorable guest, because the skins of the seventh-level demonic beasts are relatively rare, and your two are also very intact, I plan to buy them at the price of 10,000 gold coins." In the latest auction, the price of the seventh-level Warcraft skin was fifteen thousand gold coins, but if it was an auction, there were many other expenses, so the price would be higher. I plan to buy the skins of mid-level demonic beasts at an average price of one hundred gold coins per piece, I don't know if you are satisfied with this price?"
I nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was useless for other animal skins to remain in my ring, and that it would not be seen by others if I took it out now, and that the price she offered was also very good, so I said: "The price you offered is very fair, even higher than I thought, in this case, then I will sell the remaining animal skins to you together." But I hope you will promise me one condition, and that is that you will not tell anyone else about the fact that I have sold you so many hides. ”
After seeing that she agreed, I opened the space ring, only to see a flash of white light, and a large number of animal skins continued to emerge, falling directly on the coffee table. I took out all the animal skins in the ring, except for those of the ninth-level demonic beasts. You must know that the eighth-level demonic beast already has the strength equivalent to that of the great sword master, and if you take out the ninth-level demonic beast again, it is equivalent to the existence of the sword saint in the human race, then it is likely to expose my strength, and it may have a very negative impact on my future action to snatch the dragon crystal. Although I believe that I have enough strength to retrieve the Dragon Crystal, it is better to be careful. Moreover, my appearance still looks like I am only fifteen or sixteen years old, if there is such a young sword master, I believe that the whole continent will spread it! Although I asked the shopkeeper to promise to help me hide it, I know that someone will still know about today's incident sooner or later. You must know that there are more than a dozen seventh- and eighth-level animal skins in it, and if the surname appears once, anyone will suspect it.
Lady William, after a long pause, immediately began to look through the hides excitedly, and I watched her count the skins in boredom while enjoying the refreshments, for I had not eaten anything other than roasted meat and fruit in my five years in Dragon Island.
Just as I was full of food and drink, and I was drowsy, the female shopkeeper finally finished counting, and she said to me excitedly: "A total of six eighth-order animal skins, each with 100,000 gold coins, plus others, a total of 680,000 gold coins." I don't know if you use the Amethyst Card or just take the Purple Gold Coins, if it's a Purple Gold Coins, you'll have to wait a little longer, I need time to exchange them. ”
I thought that the Zijin card should be like a bank card, and said: "Use the Amethyst card, there are 650,000 gold coins in the card." But I don't have an amethyst card yet, so I don't know where to get it? ”
The shopkeeper replied, "As long as there is a blank amethyst card, drop it with blood to recognize it, I have it here, so just a drop of your blood." As long as you enter a little vindictiveness, you can check the balance in the card. ”
She immediately pulled out two cards and handed me one of them. I took it and dripped some blood according to the position she pointed to, and she pointed out that I wrote my name in a specific place, so that I could avoid making a mistake in the transaction, and then she combined the two amethyst cards, so that I could make a transfer, which was really more convenient than a portable computer.
After the transfer was completed, she commanded the maid on the side again, and soon the maid came up with two small bags, she took the two bags, and handed them to me together with the amethyst card, and said: "Distinguished guest, this is the amethyst card and gold coins you want, please count them, so as not to make mistakes." ”
I stood up and took the two bags, didn't look at it, and put it directly into the space ring, and then picked up the amethyst card, and lost a little real qi to go in, only to see a number immediately appear on the card, I looked at it carefully, and made sure that it was six hundred and fifty thousand, so I nodded to the shopkeeper. Just wanted to say goodbye to her, but she took out a card and said: "This is the VIP card of our William family, as long as you hold this card, you can enjoy VIP treatment in any property of our family, and the pattern on it is the symbol of our family." Oh, I'm sorry, because these hides are so important to the development of our equipment shop, so I forgot to ask your customer's name. ”
I said my name lightly, looked at the card, and saw an eagle in flight painted on it, and I suddenly remembered that there was also such a sign on the old man's carriage just now, could it be that the old man was also from the William family?
At Mrs. William's insistence, she kept escorting me out of the store. With more than 600,000 huge gold, the mood is very different from when I just went in, although I have always looked at money very lightly, but I will not be presumptuous, and the trouble of no money is enough to feel once.
Walking on the street, the excitement of just getting the money quickly disappeared, remembering the purpose of entering the city, I stopped a passer-by to ask for directions, but the person dressed as a swordsman was obviously impatient to be stopped on the street to ask for directions, and directly dropped a sentence: "I want to know how to get to the Ottoid Empire, go to the thieves' union to buy a map of the continent," so I chased after my companions in front, and I had to go to the thieves' union again.
After paying a hundred and twenty gold coins in the Thieves' Guild, I was given a map of the continent and learned why this small city was so lively. It turns out that most of the people here are mercenaries, and the mercenary union is probably the largest union on the entire continent. As a mercenary, you can either take on various tasks in the mercenary guild or post tasks in the guild. Mercenaries who complete missions can earn gold coins, honors, and even titles of nobility. Of course, there is a very strict hierarchy in the mercenary union, not only the level of mercenaries, but also the level of tasks, and only qualified mercenaries can accept tasks. (Grade S, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, Grade D, Grade E from high to low)
And the reason why so many mercenaries came to this small city this time is because the city lord issued a task in the union to protect the small city, which is a large-scale A-level mission. Like Dragon Island, the harbour here is hit by high tides every few years. And with the high tide, there are also many magical beasts from the nearby deep sea to the shore. Over the years, because the intensity of Warcraft attacks is not very large, the residents of the small town have become accustomed to Warcraft attacks twice a year, and they will probe the surrounding sea area from time to time to estimate the intensity of the next Warcraft attack. Every time after dealing with the monsters, the magic crystals and monster skins harvested were enough to make the residents of the whole city ecstatic. But recently, a powerful undersea demonic beast suddenly appeared in the nearby sea area with a large group of mid- and high-level demonic beasts, which was a disaster for the residents of the whole city who were accustomed to resisting a large number of low-level demonic beasts, plus a small number of middle-level demonic beasts and a few high-level demonic beasts. The city lord knew that if these demonic beasts also attacked the city with the tide, they would definitely not be able to resist it with the strength of the city. That's why I spent a lot of money to post this quest in the Mercenary Guild. And this task can not only kill monsters to get magic crystals, but also have extra gold coins to get, and you can also get rich mercenary points, so many mercenaries have come to the small city.
