Chapter 15: Future Planning

Before leaving town, El had planned to sell the velociraptor scales for a good price, leaving only the dragon tendons to make a good bow. But after rescuing Tiana and offending the Cult of the Damned, he felt the need to add some self-preservation. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Since you have decided to leave the village and go out, you can't afford to spend money on weapons and equipment.

Velociraptor leather armor was a luxury item even in the eyes of the nobility, it was a true wurm leather, a sword that was tougher than rhinoceros skin, and even stronger than most iron armor. The sheriffs of the few nearby towns known to El could not afford to wear such equipment. It is said that only the most elite knights of the guards beside the lords of the big cities can be given.

Ordinary wurm skins are already priceless, not to mention the one in El's hand, which has been ravaged by raging brown bears in every way, but is still undamaged. In retrospect, I was fascinated by gold coins when I was still thinking about selling such rare leather for money instead of staying and wearing it on my body.

In front of the old merchant, El took out the remaining dragon jerky first. Although I only brought a few catties, it was a good gift if I gave it to a noble lord, and I was originally going to use it as a stepping stone. The price of these catties of meat would normally be equivalent to a leather transaction, but the old merchant simply shook it and put it aside, staring at El with a blank eye.

"Oh oh oh! this is it!" When he saw El pull out a dry item about the length and thickness of an adult's arm, Jupiter's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but snatch it up and put it in front of him to take a closer look, and it seemed that he even wanted to lick it to distinguish the authenticity.

Tiana looked at her curiously, her face suddenly flushed, and she glanced at El fiercely and turned her head away.

"This length, this color...... This is definitely not your average velociraptor - this can be up to the level of royal tribute...... What a baby!" Jupiter's eyes lit up as he hugged the thing, "What shit luck did you kid go? If you meet a buyer who knows the goods, this thing will be enough for you to support your family for the rest of your life!"

"Is it really that valuable?

Looking at Jupiter's flushed face, El was also startled. As a healthy and energetic aspiring young man, how could he appreciate the fragile hearts of middle-aged and elderly nobles who wandered among the noble ladies who were like wolves and tigers all the year round?

"You don't know, this is the most miraculous tonic, and it is said that it has miraculous effects in treating infertility!"

"So effective?" El widened his eyes, although he felt that he didn't have a need, it was impossible for a man not to care about such problems. Suddenly. He gasped as he gasped as he turned around to find Tiana casually holding the apple in her hand, her cheeks as red as apples.

In order not to let the eldest lady's shame continue to ferment, El had to dispel the idea of further discussing professional topics with the old businessman, pulled over Tika's backpack, and took out other bits and pieces from it.

The claws and teeth of the velociraptor are the raw materials for making magic amulets, and they have always been bought at high prices in the market. dragon horns on the forehead, gastric stones, vertebrae...... These things can only be sold through special channels, and the price is definitely not low. Especially the bundle of long feathers that exude a pearl-colored luster, this thing can be regarded as a "rare magic material" that can be found in the true sense. When the old merchant saw these feathers, his eyes were green.

"Sure enough...... Sure enough, it's an evolved magical beast, a flying feather velociraptor dragon!" Jupiter wiped the sweat from his forehead, with his years of experience, he had only encountered the materials on this legendary beast once or twice. In other words, it may not be possible to judge the true value of these treasures. If it is sold by himself, the profit can reach one-third of his profit this time.

"And what about the skins, and the dragon tendons?" the old merchant stared at the travel bag in El's hand with dissatisfaction. Although the materials were valuable, they were only needed by magicians. The fur and sinew of the beast are the hard currency that everyone understands, and among merchants, high-quality furs and gems can be used as a large settlement currency.

"Well, I'm going to keep it for myself to make a set of leather armor and compound bows, so I won't sell it. "El told me the truth, there was no need to hide such a thing.

"It's too extravagant, isn't it...... But it just so happens that Powell, the famous master craftsman in Eastalen, and I can be regarded as old friends, so I will introduce you when the time comes. When the old thing sees this kind of good goods, maybe he will pull out the unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box. ”

Jupiter's eyes narrowed, and he smiled inwardly. This level of equipment is indeed too luxurious for a hunter in the mountains and forests, and looking at the meaning of this child's words, it seems that he wants to come out and have a good time. It's good to have this kind of thought, those stubborn guys who hold their kennel and refuse to move, will have to spend their lives in the mountains and forests.

"Then thank you, a country man like me who has little knowledge really has no way in the city. El scratched his head and smiled innocently, looking completely unintentional.

"You can't say that, you kid has a good ability, and you don't have to worry about going anywhere. Jupiter slapped his thigh, "But hunting alone has no future after all, you are still young, you can't nest in the mountains for the rest of your life." How about it, do you want to go out with my uncle and me to see the world? Maybe you can even meet the opportunity to get ahead!"

"You have a point, but ......"

El groaned, hesitated, but his mind was spinning rapidly. At that moment now, he quoted the price of the iron-maned boar a little higher, but the old merchant took it without saying a word, this is not the style of a serious businessman. The merchant does not want to make a profit, which is equal to the sow going up the tree, unless ...... He had other intentions.

Having said that, El also understood that the old businessman was soliciting himself.

If you join the caravan, you can certainly earn more money, but El may have been tempted before. At that time, he was still the way of thinking of a countryman, and he always felt that it was a tragedy that people had no money to spend in life.

But after experiencing the upheaval of Queensland City, and seeing the glory and wealth of the past disappear in the blink of an eye, it dawned on him that if a person dies and the money is not spent, it is an even greater tragedy.

In other words, what El lacks now is not money, but security. Following the old merchant to run around the business, it is still the same to work hard in the forest, and there is no safety at all.

Jupiter saw that El hesitated and was about to speak, when a young mercenary hurried in, saying that the man who had gone to the river to fetch water wanted to catch a fish, but his finger was bitten off. The bloody gas attracted unknown monsters under the water, and several people fled in confusion, and in a panic, they also threw away the buckets.

"Well, it's really not worrying. Jupiter sent the man away with a few words, and smiled helplessly.

"El, you have also seen it, a few days ago, my uncle and I caused a disaster, and my old brothers suffered ten losses, and now there are only these little rabbit cubs who can be used around me, and there is no one who can't be honed in three or two years. It's hard to get on the road this time, and I'm going to stay in Istalen for a while. ”

El nodded, in fact, he had already seen those rookies outside, the old merchant was able to lead this kind of team until now and had not been swallowed by the forest, which showed that his ability and luck were very good.

"If you want to see your sister, you must also stay there for a while, and the cost of food and accommodation in the city is very large, so it is better to come to me and settle down before making plans. "Jupiter is seductive.

Look at your sister's illness! Do you really believe that kind of nonsense excuse? El turned around and glanced at the sick girl "gently". This is a poisonous snake with a bounty of 12,000 gold coins.

"Brother, it's okay for me......" Tiana blinked her big clear eyes and made an innocent and weak look. "Don't push yourself because of me. ”

"What a sensible and good boy, much better than my little girl. Jupiter sighed and said that he was already a little moved by the appearance of El, and he decided to add another fire.

"Tell you the truth, El, your shipment is worth a lot, but I really can't turn it around right now. The old merchant pressed El's shoulder, his eyes eager.

"Uncle, I put all the money on this batch of goods, even if I go to the city, I may not be able to settle you immediately, and I won't say anything if you find a buyer again. But I have one more suggestion - if you are not in a hurry to use the money, you can invest this batch of goods in me, and I will give you a share of the current business."

"I still have some properties in Istalen, so I have a lot to do this time when I take a good inventory...... Now I really don't have any available manpower around me, as long as they come to help me, I will never treat you badly. ”

When it comes to this, El is really a little tempted. He sees the old businessman's current predicament, and helping him now can be said to be a charcoal in the snow, and the benefits in the future are self-evident. If it is really as he said, he also becomes a shareholder and becomes the boss, and has an industry in the big city in the future, then he can be regarded as a decent person with status.

After escorting Tiana to the south, they may soon be separated, after which he will have to fend for himself. People are in a foreign land, and they still have the oil bottle of Tika by their side, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems. The old businessman's proposal was not a clear path for him.

However, it is unlikely that El will fully believe the old merchant's words now, as the saying goes, no business is not treacherous, who knows what will happen in the future. El has a cautious personality and naturally does not act rashly.

"You're exalting me, Mr. Jupiter. I don't know much about doing business. ”

Seeing the old businessman's face flush, El waved his hand and smiled: "I believe in your character and ability, and I am willing to help when you need help, but you see, I have to settle my sister first." ”

"What did I think, this is not a big deal!" Jupiter laughed, "Leave it to me to arrange, you don't have to worry about it!

Hearing this, El couldn't help but let a drop of cold sweat fall on his head, and he suddenly felt like he was on a thief ship.
