16. Windfall
[Found a green common mutation inducer (inactive after 54 minutes and 23 seconds), is it immediately absorbed?] 】
Not disappointing Huck, another subspecies of water ghosts offers a green mutation inducer.
After the absorption is over, a subtitle pops up.
[Constitution +0.1, Skill +1]
Red plus strength, green plus physique, blue plus magic.
Huck finally figured out all the absorption effects, and in addition to the fixed 1 skill point, mutation inducers of different colors can increase one of the three attributes.
The strength mainly determines the explosive power of the attack, which can be understood as the amount of damage.
Physique attributes affect all aspects of the body, such as health, stamina, speed, resistance, etc., and even include a certain increase in strength, although this increase is slower.
Mana determines the ability to cast spells several times in a row, and its importance cannot be overstated.
After figuring out the details, looking at the panel, the constitution has indeed become 2.3, and the remaining assignable skill points have also become 2.
Taking out the dagger, Huck begins to collect the ears of the water ghosts, and he needs to cut off the left ears of all the monsters as evidence of the completion of the mission.
After doing this, he stacked all the corpses together and cast the Ignifa Seal on the pile.
The flames quickly swept upwards and began to leap wildly across the flesh and blood, and as the black smoke rose, the strong smell of burnt paste rushed to the nostrils.
Huck breathed a sigh of relief as he took a few steps back, dodging the scorching flames, and looking at the pile of corpses that were rapidly turning black and charred.
In this way, no one knows the whereabouts of the robbers or mercenaries.
Remembering the information from Sauter's mouth, Huck turned to look at the merchant ship moored at the docks, his eyes becoming hot.
Sauter was not under the command of the Baron before the war, but a smuggler who made a living from smuggling.
For convenience, he opened up a lot of relationships, and the original Captain Smith was one of them, which is why he was able to get the Silver Sword.
During the Nilfgaard invasion, he and his accomplices took advantage of the fire and plundered many Temerians who had fled for their lives.
Among them were many aristocratic merchants and the like, and at that time, under the chaos of the army, defeated soldiers and robbers were everywhere, and no one cared about them at all.
After the fall of Temeria, Sauter and the others prepared to flee to Novigre with their looted possessions.
Coming from a hidden place to a remote dock in the village of Tadi, he had just finished loading his cargo and was ready to set off for a new life with joy when he was attacked.
The water ghost that appeared out of nowhere surrounded the robbers, and only Sauter escaped with the silver sword in his hand.
In a panic, he came across a group on the road that was about to defect to the baron, and he followed, who had nowhere to go.
For the sake of money, he took the initiative to take over the task of collecting taxes in Tadi Village.
That's why it's so coincidental that Huck was able to meet Huck in Tadi Village.
The monster had no interest in gold or silver, so the ship's contents remained intact.
Looking at the box full of gold coins and a bag full of gold and silver utensils, Huck laughed.
The gold coins consisted mainly of Oren of Temeria, with a portion of Novi Gre krona and a small number of Nilfergaard florins.
With the fall of Temeria, the value of Oren has dropped significantly, and it is said that the exchange rate with the krona has now fallen to 6:1.
The value of the florin is slightly higher, and the exchange rate with the krona can reach 6:10.
After a simple estimate, this batch of gold coins should be about 1,200 crowns, and with the gold and silver utensils in the bag, this harvest will be at least 1,500 crowns.
That's a lot of money for Huck.
The krona, currently issued by the free city of Novigre, is the strongest currency in the North.
1 crown can be exchanged for 100 copper coins, and 1 copper coin is equivalent to 1 yuan of the soft sister coin that Huck is familiar with.
The monthly salary of an ordinary soldier in Nilfgaard is about 16 crowns, which is basically the standard of an ordinary person's income.
If the normal remuneration is counted in this transaction, it is already the income of an ordinary family for more than 8 years.
Murder and arson gold belts, build roads and pave bridges without corpses!
Sure enough, the windfall came quickly!
In addition to Geralt, the income of the other witchers in Kyl Mohan for a year, after shaving food and drink, finally took back only three or four hundred pieces of the castle.
Today's trip to buy and sell will be worth a year's income for them.
The young witcher, who was in a good mood, put everything into the storage space and hummed a song excitedly.
"Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast~
One without a head, the other without an ass, it's weird, it's weird..."
......
In the evening, before the last blush of the setting sun faded, the young witcher returned.
When the villagers of Tadi Village saw the string of blue ears with blood in his hand, they immediately cheered, and the whole village immediately became lively.
Ignorant children laughed and followed the witcher, while the villagers stood on either side, looking at what the witcher had in his hand and pointing at it, all with excitement on their faces.
Several young men were even more gearing up, shouting and pushing each other and running towards the river.
They carried hoes, machetes, pitchforks and other weapons in their hands, and they were in a hurry to see the scene.
When he walked to the village chief's residence, the village elder Frank was already standing at the door with a smile, and when he saw him coming, he immediately welcomed him in.
"Elder, this is a quest item, take a look."
As soon as he sat down on the carpet, Huck handed over what he was holding.
Frank hurriedly took it, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he hurriedly handed it to a middle-aged strong man next to him.
"Ryan, take this thing out and show it to the villagers, tell them that the monster has been solved and that work can start tomorrow."
"Okay!"
The strong man with a simple face happily took a long list of water ghost ears and walked out quickly.
Seeing him come out, the villagers gathered outside, and then someone let out an exclamation.
"Go far away and don't disturb the guests~"
Hearing the commotion outside, Frank laughed and shouted outside.
The crowd immediately moved into the distance, and the noise gradually subsided.
"This is the final payment of 50 crowns, please accept it!"
The elder poured a cup of tea, respectfully placed it in front of the witcher, and immediately placed a small bag of gold coins on the table.
Picking up the money bag, tossing the weight, opening the opening, and confirming that it was correct, the witcher put the money bag away.
"By the way, Elder, how many fishing boats are there on your docks?"
Picking up the tea from the calendula and taking a sip, Huck suddenly remembered something.
"Eighteen fishing boats, what? Was there a ship that was wrecked? ”
As soon as he saw the witcher ask about this, Frank suddenly became nervous, the fishing boat is the lifeblood of the village, and it is acceptable to damage one or two, if there are too many, it will be troublesome.
"No, it's all good, that's right, there's a merchant ship parked on the dock, since the merchant ship is not yours, according to the regulations, that's my mission."
After confirming, Huck began to assert his interests.
When Frank heard this, he felt a pang of regret in his heart, he forgot that there was still this stubble.
Some villagers had been to the dock and reported the incident, but they forgot about it.
It was too late to change his words now, and looking at the Demon Hunter's cold eyes, he wisely did not speak.
"I'm not of much use for this ship, I wonder if the elders are interested in buying it?"
The elder's eyes rolled, and he immediately showed a sad expression.
"You also saw it today, we just handed over the food of the man in black, and the lord came to collect taxes again, I'm afraid there is no money to buy a ship..."
"This is a brand new and intact merchant ship, at least twice the size of your fishing boat, if it were to be converted into a fishing boat..."
Frank's eyes narrowed, and he smiled as he refilled his teacup.
"Demon Hunter, at what price are you going to sell?"
"100 kroner, only 100 kroner, this brand new and intact merchant ship is yours!"
Seeing that the old man on the opposite side heard the offer, his face turned dark, and Huck couldn't help but jump in his heart.
The price is too high?
100 kroner is the price of a horse, is a boat not as expensive as a horse?
"50 crowns!"
Frank said with five fingers on his right palm.
I'll go, don't bring such a play, cut it in half when you meet, do the merchants here also have the habit of doubling the offer?
"80 crowns, no less!"
"55, up to 55 crowns..."
The two fought back and forth for a long time, and finally sold for 65 crowns.
Seeing the old man's happy face, Huck felt that he was afraid that he had been trapped.
