Chapter Twenty-Four: The Goblins in the Town

After hearing the magician's message from Oward for the first time, Xu Yue's mind was not only about mysterious magic, but also about powerful personal power. What made him even more motivated and determined to pursue the path of magic was the long life that magic can bring.

According to Oward's description, as the mage's realm increases and the level increases, the lifespan will also be extended to an astonishing level.

A full-fledged first-class magician can easily live to the limit of human lifespan on earth -- one hundred years old, while a second-level magician can generally live to be one hundred and fifty years old. If you can reach the level of a ninth-level magician, your lifespan will even be able to break through to more than four thousand years old.

And that's just the natural lifespan of a mage, and if you add in some magic potions and rituals that can effectively extend lifespan, then these numbers can almost double. Legendary and even demigod-level mages have never heard of anyone who fell because of the exhaustion of their lifespan.

Longevity for thousands of years or even immortality is something that can be chased madly. After Xu Yue learned the news, he made up his mind to embark on the path of magic and climb to the top, not only for himself, but also for his parents.

Since I was a child, my parents broke their hearts for themselves. When you are young, you have to worry about your body and study, and when you grow up, you have to worry about work and marriage. Because of his low eyesight, he looks like he is already twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he has achieved nothing.

At the beginning, my father tried his best for his work, and finally let himself enter his current unit. Later, in order to solve his marriage, he asked relatives and friends everywhere to introduce him to him.

Seeing the increasing whiteness of his parents over the years and the sadness behind his back, Xu Yue hated his incompetence in his heart. But the powerlessness of reality traps itself in a quagmire, and only when you are alone can you let out a few desperate roars.

When he knew that magic potions could greatly prolong life, he decided that he must get the best potions for his parents, and even if there was a way to live forever, he would definitely use a qiē method to get his hands on it.

However, both life-increasing magic potions and immortal items are hard to come by, the former can be bought with a lot of money, and the latter is only a legend even in Talumia.

For the latter, Xu Yue didn't dare to expect it for the time being, but for the former, he had the possibility to get it. Of course, the premise is a large amount of money.

Although the price of a pure container as a magical item is not low, it is just a container in the final analysis. It is a constant truth that a box can never be more expensive than the goods inside. Therefore, if you want to get a lot of money, selling clean containers on a large scale is the inevitable way to sell.

Xu Yue knew this when he sold his first glass bottle, but he was always hesitant. Selling Pure Bottles in large quantities will not only touch the nerves of those with vested interests in this field, but may also attract the prying eyes of the greedy. He doesn't have the strength to defend against either for the time being.

But when he returned home this time, his parents' half-white heads made him determined. He can wait, but his parents can't wait for him to slowly accumulate strength, and it will take at least a few decades. And he also figured out that his own strength also needs a lot of money to support.

There are not a few magicians with qualifications like himself in Talumia, but most of them are completely stuck after reaching level three or four because they don't have financial support, and he doesn't think he will be an exception.

For a business that wants to sell pure containers in large quantities, there is almost no difference in deterrence between a third- or fourth-level magician and a magic apprentice. And the small amount of money he got from selling the Pure Container wasn't enough for him to break through to a third-level mage, unless he was willing to spend an extremely long time accumulating money. In fact, there was only one path in front of him from the beginning.

Walking through the streets of Komodo Town, there are a little more crowds coming and going than they did a month and a half ago. The road that was impassable to the outside world due to the snowstorm had already been cleared half a month ago. Many mercenaries who took the task but couldn't get over because of road problems poured into Komodo Town, which made Komodo Town a lot more lively in the cold winter season.

Looking at the groups of mercenaries and adventurers with weapons on their backs, Xu Yue secretly and carefully observed them while thinking about things in his heart. Before he knew it, he had come to the vicinity of his hut.

"Oh my God! You're a miser! You know I've got the best goods here! Look at the delicate patterns on this bow and arrow, it's a fine item bought from the elven tribe. Twenty gold coins don't bargain!What!?Eight gold coins?What do you think this is, the stalls that can be seen everywhere in the market?"

A shrill shout came from a nearby wagon with goods, surrounded by four or five mercenaries haggling with the owner of the goods.

Xu Yue walked over with a little curiosity to take a look, only to see a green-skinned, less than one meter tall, with two pointed ears of a creature dancing with a unique sharp voice and bargaining with those mercenaries, the exaggerated expression and movements not only did not make people feel his momentum, but a little funny.

"Goblin!" Xu Yue whispered to himself.

There are various races in Talumia 6, and goblins as a race can be ranked in the top 10 of Tarumia races because of their number and distribution. Judging by what he's learned these days, the short, green-skinned creature is as greedy and hungry for glittering gold coins as legend has suggested.

As a race full of wealth, goblins can be found in any corner of Talumia's Big 6. They are the most greedy merchants who will drain you of the last gold with their incorruptible tongues, they are the best merchants who can be seen even in the isolated territory of the elves, and they are the most daring merchants who can see even the ogre tribe in their trade. Even if there is enough profit, even the devil is willing to touch it.

This race is known for its greed and treachery, and anyone who has done business with them would not mind applying the word profiteer to theirs. But this race is still accepted by the major races, and they are willing to do business with them despite their greed and treachery.

In addition to their vast powers, they can buy anything you need as long as they give money, but the most important thing is their compliance with the contract.

A goblin is no matter how greedy and treacherous he is, but as long as you sign a contract with him, then the goblin will strictly fulfill the content of the contract, even if you have to pay for all their property, there will be no violation of the contract. Keep in mind that the difficulty of getting a goblin to pull out a gold coin is equal to or even higher than the difficulty of getting a dragon to hand over its treasure.

Of course, when you sign a contract, you must carefully check it for loopholes. Goblins will strictly abide by the terms of the contract, but they will never mind exploiting it. And these little green guys are absolutely no less capable of exploiting the loopholes of the contract than the devils in the abyss.

So signing a contract with a goblin in Talumia is a big headache, if the contract is signed, you will get a loyal ally, but if you sign a contract full of loopholes, then you will most likely be cheated by this ally to lose the last gold coin.

Looking at the goblins dancing in front of him, a thought in Xu Yue's heart became clear. However, he did not rush to do anything, but stepped forward to take a closer look at the goblin and his cargo.

In fact, for a humanoid race like goblins, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between them. The same green skin, pointed ears and chin, and a bare head without a single head, the almost cookie-cutter shape made them look almost the same.

The goblin's cart is pulled by a Morro beast, a six-legged creature equivalent to a horse on Earth, and is the most common cart-pulling beast.

The goods on the truck were of all kinds, ranging from pots and spoons needed for life, to swords for battle, and even some magical materials of unknown effect, which looked like a hodgepodge.

Obviously, one of the mercenaries around him had taken a fancy to one of the goblins' cargoblin, but it seemed that he felt a little expensive and was bargaining with the goblin. As a mercenary who needs to be careful on weekdays, he has already honed his bargaining skills. But unfortunately, he met a goblin this time, and trying to get these guys to give up a gold coin for the price is like killing them.

The two sides were arguing over the price of almost one silver coin at a time, and it seemed that it had been going on for a long time, and several of the mercenaries' companions were a little impatient.

"Hey, Perth, I don't think it's okay. All the gold you earned from your last mission was used to buy your new leather armor, and you didn't have much money under you. If you haggle for another silver coin like this, it will be dark. We also need to prepare the supplies needed for this mission. A mercenary with a two-handed sword on his back said helplessly to his companion who was in a hurry to bargain.

"Oh, damn it, I've already cut nineteen gold coins and seventy-eight silver coins!" the little mercenary shook his head in annoyance as he looked at the already dim sky, and after saying that, he gave up the bargaining behavior and left here with his companions.

"Oh, shit, another waste of my precious time!" the goblin jumped in frustration as he watched the mercenary stand on the van. After seeing that there were no more guests around, he muttered as he packed up his goods.

Xu Yue turned around and walked away when the mercenaries left, but instead of returning to his house, he turned his head and walked towards the Night Song Tavern. He had a few more things to know before he could realize that idea in his mind.
