Ivan explains:

"You can taste it first"

The two glanced at each other, ate the fruit in front of them, and took a sea buckthorn in Ling Ye and bit it in his mouth, and was instantly sour by the sour taste of the fruit, and the whole person was twisted.

Zhao Jiuxiao was not spared, although he ate sand dates, but he was also so sour that he closed his eyes.

"It's also called fruit, so sour?" Zhao Jiuxiao spit out.

"Although this fruit is not delicious, but the medicinal value is extremely high, it is used as a raw material for hemostatic agents, and it sells very well, I think you will always get a little injured when you go out hunting, but there is no hemostatic agent in your camp, you can only rely on cloth pressure to stop bleeding, if you drink the medicine made of this fruit or apply the medicine to the wound, you can quickly stop the bleeding"

"So, you mean, you want to sell us these two fruits?" Ling Ye asked tentatively.

"Yes," Ivan nodded.

"How many silver coins are you going to sell?"

Ivan stretched out his hand and gestured with a '1'.

"100 credits?" Ling Ye asked again.

Ivan shook his head.

"10?" Zhao Jiuxiao answered.

"No"

He shook his head again.

"Is it 1? So how do you make money? Ling Ye looked at him in disbelief.

"How much? Say it quickly! Zhao Jiuxiao urged dissatisfiedly.

"I don't want a penny," Ivan smiled and wagged his fingers.

"Huh? Why? Now it was the two of them dumbfounded.

"Not only do I not want money, but if you have other things you need in the future, I will also send them to you, you only need to do one thing"

"What's the matter?"

"Only do business with me, to put it simply, only recognize me Ivan"

"This ......" Ling Ye hesitated a little, only to hear him continue:

"The current situation is that there are two kinds of business between us and you, one is to exchange silver ore for weapons and armor, I do this, I know the materials and craftsmanship of the equipment very well, the quality of the equipment lies in two points, one is the material, there is nothing to say about this, all the merchants of 'Oasa' obtain the same materials, the second is the difference in the level of construction, this affects the durability and comfort of the equipment, after all, you don't want the equipment you just bought, it won't take long to break down, it just so happens, I took it' The three blacksmiths of Oasa are now all serving me, so it can be said that my equipment is the best in the whole of Oasa and it is the right choice for you to buy my equipment."

"Excuse me, how many of you are famous blacksmiths in 'Oasah'?" Ling Ye asked.

"Four, this person knows everything," Ivan replied to the question, and continued:

"The second kind of business is to sell animal skins and meat here in exchange for bread and fruits, but now it's winter, and it will snow in the plains in winter, and monsters will hide and hibernate, and the fur you get is not enough for your own use, and there is no surplus goods to sell at all, so this business can be said to be non-existent for the time being."

“......”

Midnight was silent, Ivan was right, their original plan was to stay in the camp for a while and wait until tomorrow spring to go out.

"Moreover, you do business with different people, you have different points, and you also need more people to manage, and the danger has increased, after all, not everyone is trustworthy, and another point is that if their goods are not good, it is not convenient to return them, and it is a waste of time to come and go, it is better to only do business with me, I can guarantee the quality of my goods, and also ensure that the price is appropriate"

"What guarantees do you have?"

"Naturally, it's my ability, so my ultimate purpose here this time is to welcome you to 'Oasah' to visit my shop, and then decide whether you want to do business with me."

"To 'Oasa'? Now? Ling Ye looked at Ivan in surprise.

"Yes, now is the best time, your plains will be very cold in winter, but the desert will not, we are hot all year round, even in winter, it is only a little cooler, you can come to live with me, eat and live, I am ready"

"Are you serious" Ling Ye looked at the enthusiastic Ivan, a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Naturally true, in fact, I am grateful to you, you saved me and my brother in the Black Forest, removed us from poison, saved us from being controlled by bloodthirsty bats, and your plan, prevented other merchants from being affected, and finally took over the business, and now you are the leader of the camp, I admire you"

“...... I'm embarrassed to praise you," Ling Ye touched his head, "I'm not as good as you say, actually...... I failed in my previous attempt, and I killed my friend."

"Ahh Who died? Zhao Jiuxiao saw Ling Ye's lowered head and shouted uneasily.

“...... Li Xiang"

"What?! Aunt Xiang is dead?! How can it be? You're not talking nonsense, you're talking! Zhao Jiuxiao stood up and pulled Ling Ye's clothes and shouted.

"Hey......" Ling Ye sighed deeply and told what had happened before.

After listening to the story, the two were silent, and Zhao Jiuxiao said expressionlessly:

"I'll go back to Aunt Xiang and pick you up another day"

Then he ran out with a puff of smoke and disappeared in the eyes of the two.

"What are your plans?" Ivan looked at Ling Ye's uncomfortable expression and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

"I don't know, actually...... I don't know how to face them, I'm guilty, I probably shouldn't have taken them on an adventure" Ling Ye covered his face and said in a low voice, "The previous action was too smooth, I suddenly felt that I could do anything, no matter what I did, it was successful, I was so reckless, if it was me before, maybe I wouldn't be so impulsive"

"Although I don't know you before, but Ling Ye in my eyes, brave, decisive, witty, kind, is an almost perfect person, if even you are a bad person, then I don't know what kind of person is good"

"I ...... Not as good as you say."

"Okay, don't dwell on it anymore, let him pass the past, just start now, be fully prepared, and do what you think is right"

Ling Ye listened to Ivan's words, his face was slightly better, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Ivan took the opportunity to invite him again, and this time he did not refuse.

Ivan put the fruit into the basket and handed it to Ling Yedao:

"Sea buckthorn and sand dates, you can bring them back to your doctor, maybe he will know the use of these fruits, as for hemostatic agents, you can also let me make them, you only need to pay a small amount of silver coins"

"I know, I'll discuss it with Grandma when I go back," Ling Ye nodded.
