Chapter 9 Productive as a sow
There are three main roads in Orange Town, which are intricately intertwined with countless other sheep intestine paths, forming a small square market around the port.
Martin brought a thousand cherry blossoms, and his cuffs and boots were covered with throwing knives.
These days, the navy has suppressed the pirates, and the town is much quieter, and the roads are much safer.
After passing through the more prosperous cross block, you can see the dried and stained blood of flies on the ground, and most of the pirates who can be seen everywhere have disappeared, and few suspicious people are wandering around the streets.
This means that the security situation in Orange Town is improving, after all, there is a naval logistics base, and although the navy is a little salted, it will not let it go.
According to his understanding, since the cannon fire sounded that night, the navy has conducted a carpet check on the pirates in the town, driving away many pirates who are wandering the streets.
Now there are fewer people in the bazaar, and most shops are still open as usual.
Navy soldiers maintaining order on the streets are patrolling in twos and threes, with an eerie sense of order.
"Boss Kim, you're here for business."
Walking into Kim's grocery store, Martin placed the bag of knives on the counter.
"Welcome, welcome, Martin, I've been waiting for you for a long time...... It seems that there are a lot of goods this time. ”
Kim at the counter looked up with a smile on his face, and immediately weighed the cloth bag, his eyes shining.
He opened the cloth bag and glanced at it, and found that there were seven knives in it, so he immediately swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly counted the goods and prepared to settle the bill.
Recently, there have been a lot of pirates, and many people will buy swords and weapons to defend themselves, so it can be said that the worse the order of the town, the more fierce the struggle between the pirates and the navy, the greater the demand for weapons, and naturally there is no worry about no sales.
The knifesmith in front of him is as productive as a sow, and it has only been less than a month, and he has forged so many knives, and other knifesmiths are turtles compared to him.
It is expected that this should be a rich accumulation, diligent and hardworking, Martin is not young, retired from the navy, and has just married a wife, and will have to raise children in the future, so he works so hard.
Hey, people are middle-aged and drag their families with their mouths, and they are really carrying a few mountains!
Unbeknownst to Martin, he was just selling something, and he had received a sympathetic triple attack from Boss Kim.
"There are a total of five fast knives, and the quality is good! Count 200,000 Baileys, the other two are high-quality fast knives, recently there is a great demand for high-quality fast knives, I count you 350,000 Baileys, please put them away, a total of 1.7 million Baileys. ”
Kim counted the bills and placed them on the counter.
1,700,000 Bailey!
Martin nodded, while his forging skills continued to improve, the forging efficiency also improved rapidly, and in the two months since he married his wife, he has been able to achieve sales of nearly two million Bailey a month.
After removing various costs, additions, and labor, he made a net profit of about 1.2 million Bailey in a month.
Although it is not as fast as fighting pirates to get bounty money, it is safe and reliable, and it is more expensive than being a swordsmith in the navy.
The monthly salary of ordinary people in the East China Sea is only 20 to 300,000 Bailey, and the navy swordsmith is only 400,000 Bailey a month.
Sure enough, being discharged from the military was the right choice.
Martin took the opportunity to inquire: "The situation has been okay recently, and I feel that the port is quite orderly." ”
Kim shook his head, pinched his beard and replied, "Actually, the pirates and the navy have their own casualties, and several corpses are found in the town every day, and the ground is dyed red. ”
"I heard that the navy has transferred a powerful swordsman, who can draw his sword and kill people in the air, which is very fierce, and the pirates who originally had the advantage in numbers were beheaded a lot."
"As long as that so-called treasure remains, the pirates will not stop, but will hide it for the time being."
He paused and speculated: "The more it seems to be fine, the bigger the matter, and I guess the pirates will not give up, so be especially careful these days." ”
Martin nodded.
The navy is in the light, the pirates are in the shadows, and these rampant pirates will never give up for the sake of treasure.
It could really be the calm before the storm.
But the navy, no matter how bad it is, is not a vegetarian.
It is estimated that the battle will soon enter the white-hot level, and then the winner will be quickly decided.
Let's continue to work at home.
Anyway, if you have a wife to play and make money, no matter what the flood is, you can charge your thousand cherry blossoms first.
Even if it's the justice of Goudao!
"Kim prepares me another piece of food, it's exactly the same as last time, and it doesn't matter if the price increases, it's deducted from here."
Martin pushed the wad of bills he had just arrived at back to Kim.
It will be a little cheaper to buy in the market than Kim, but Kim does not need to worry about quality problems here, and it also saves the selection time, and the price is acceptable at a high price.
"By the way, is there a Yugang in the nearby town?"
Martin is ready to forge higher.
As a swordsmith, his goal is to make the legendary supreme knife twelve, and he will never be satisfied with that.
"Yugang? That's a controlled material, I definitely don't have it here, and I don't dare to sell it in the nearby towns, you have been in the navy, you must know how difficult it is to get Yugang. ”
Kim paused, and then hesitated: "If you want it, I have the channel, but if you want a million Bailey and a hundred catties, you still need to wait for a month!" ”
Such an asking price made Martin purse the corners of his lips, and he only shouted in his heart to kill people.
The jade in the naval logistics base is only 500,000 Bailey and 100 catties, and his opponent's price increase to 1 million is definitely an outrageous price.
However, Martin also understands how difficult it is for ordinary merchants to get Yugang.
"Kim, take a look at the knife and make a price."
Martin instead handed over the failed Soul Slayer.
Although this soul slashing knife failed, it performed very well in yesterday's sword trial duel, and it seemed to have a lot of potential to cut off a quick knife.
Kim took the knife and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Yo, this is a rare product." ”
Closing one eye, Kim took out a magnifying glass to take a closer look, looked at the knife, and then shook his head: "It's strange, it's obviously of average quality, but there is a blood line...... This should be a demon knife! ”
"Martin, is this something you forged?"
Kim asked suddenly with his head raised, his eyes looking at a monster.
Martin shrugged his shoulders: "Sort of, one was forged by accident." ”
"Accidentally?"
The corners of Kim's mouth twitched, and he had an expression of teasing me.
Demon swords are all extremely evil beings, but they are very rare, and I heard that only those forging masters can forge the legendary demon swords.
He didn't quite believe that an intermediate swordsmith could forge this legendary demon sword, so he was a little skeptical.
And whether this knife is a demon knife or not has yet to be confirmed, after all, he has never seen a serious demon knife.
Martin shrugged his shoulders, ready to put away the demon knife as a souvenir.
"Wait! I'm willing to pay 1 million Bailey to buy this demon knife! ”
Kim hurriedly shouted.
"1 million?"
Martin was about to speak, when a shouting came from behind him.
When he turned around, he saw a rough man holding a long knife being cut back by a naval soldier, and while spitting blood from his mouth, the blade in his hand flew straight towards Kim who was holding a demon knife.
This time, Martin didn't dodge, and suddenly pulled out Senbon Sakura to block, and the blade struck the side of the blade, causing the blade to deflect and slash it in two with a click.
Boom!
Half of the blade grazed Kim's cheek and plunged into the cabinet next to him, making the chubby shopkeeper's face pale.
Kim's face was pale, and his voice raised an octave, and he broke directly:
"Demon ...... Demon Knife! ”
