Chapter 146: Iseni's Business
Jiuyou College has been established for a long time, and this silent institution has been standing on the island of Phuket since before the sign of First University was hung up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As long as the history of the winding courtyard wall, in addition to the rich collection of the Shushan Pavilion, is the huge Linzhong Lake.
Countless students in red robes have left their mark on this lake.
The two sides of the duel threw the damaged magic equipment into the lake, the witches and wizards who broke down their relationship threw the ornaments that carried a love relationship into the middle of the lake, and of course, the most common thing was the objects that the wizards accidentally fell into the water while taking a boat on the lake.
'Don't pick up anything that falls into the lake'
This is a warning that many new students who have just entered the university have heard.
Because Linzhong Lake is a reserve of the fish-man tribe. And the fishmen in these territories are getting fewer and fewer, and the defense of their own territories has reached a certain level of perversion.
Anything that falls into the lake belongs to Linzhong Lake.
Unless the school sends a special person to negotiate, no wizard should try to take a stone from the lake.
Most of the time, the clerks of the Nine Talents Academy are not willing to deal with fishmen with walnut-sized brains and foul-smelling fish people because of a schoolbag that has fallen into the water or a vanity mirror that can praise their master. Therefore, they always put off the relevant applications again and again, and only after they have accumulated enough batches do they apply to the fish-man tribe.
But at this time, the things that were caught had been damaged by the blisters, and they were useless.
This negative response has contributed to the fish-man's attitude of seeing the lake as a forbidden place, and on the other hand, it has also caused the students to become increasingly dissatisfied.
As a result, some nimble young wizards and some relatively nimble young fishmen began to make a sneaky deal under such mutually restrictive conditions.
"For friendship!"
Iseni twisted his lips, trying to squeeze the words out of the gill pouches of some of his hair, and then handed the tattered in his hand to the black-robed wizards in exchange for gifts from the black-robed wizards.
Intricately shaped glassware, smooth enamel utensils, fine silk fabrics, and waterproof iron weapons are all land-based artifacts that can only be found in the caves of the elders.
And now.
Iseni Mo rubbed a shiny fork in his hand, as if he saw the golden fish hook that his friends had paid tribute to themselves.
The gifts of the black-robed wizards quickly earned Iseni's friendship.
The nimble fish-man even began to use some gifts to lure his friends to help salvage the debris that had fallen into the water.
According to the agreement with the black-robed wizard, the shorter the salvage time of the overboard object, the higher the value. Therefore, it is important to be able to quickly find things that have fallen into the water and protect them.
Fortunately, for the fish people, this is not a difficult thing to do.
But soon, Iseni discovers that things are not as simple as they thought.
Linzhong Lake is so large that it can accommodate an entire fish-man tribe to thrive here.
Linzhong Lake is also very small, so small that a little ripple fluctuation on the surface of the lake can attract the attention of the fish people at the bottom of the lake.
You know, all the fish-people have a keen interest in what falls on the surface of the lake, and you can't expect these 'babes' to stay in the silt at the bottom of the lake for too long.
Controversy means struggle.
At the bottom of the lake, fists are the best way to fight.
Although young, with his excellent physical talents, Iseni is not much afraid even when facing adult fishmen. After several life-and-death struggles, it quickly established its prestige among the new generation of fishmen, and its business grew rapidly.
But there is only a limit to what the daily wizards fall into the water.
Iseni's business faced its first bottleneck.
At this point, it was no longer enough to help the wizard salvage the stray debris in exchange for a few goods.
It turns its gaze to the debris accumulated by the fish people over time.
For example, tattered leather, swollen wood carvings, books with blurred handwriting, and of course, the most numerous of them are those wooden boxes and stone chests that have been locked by wizards with magic and cannot be opened by fishmen.
During a transaction, the fat wizard was very moved when he heard about Iseny's idea:
"That sounds like a good idea. ”
The fat wizard promised to buy the sundries at the right price.
This has allowed Iseni to expand its operations from salvage services to bulk trading.
It buys all sorts of new crafts, weapons, and decorations from the sorcerers on land, and then exchanges them for the price of the lake bottom to the people for the sundries that have been soaked in the caverns for a long time.
It's a good deal for many fishmen.
The new is always better than the old.
It's also a good deal for black-robed wizards.
Because they can always find some unexpected catch in these clutter.
For example, some of the seniors' reading notes, a few jade talismans that are not afraid of being soaked in the lake, or those small boxes that are locked by magic.
At the wandering wizard's bar, buying a small box to try your luck was once the greatest pleasure for young wizards.
Many people have picked up eye-hot treasures from inside.
However, there is a limit to what can be overboard. When the inventory of fish people at the bottom of the lake was depleted, Iseni's business ushered in a new bottleneck.
"If you want to expand your business further, then you need to increase your business by doing so. ”
The fat wizard in the black robe was always willing to give advice to the fish-people's questions.
"If there are conditions, you have to go up, and if you don't have conditions, you have to go up. ”
"If something falls from the lake, you have to pick it up, and when nothing falls from the lake, you can find a way to get it down and pick it up again. ”
This passage made Iseni suddenly enlightened.
Since then, students who have been riding boats on Linzhong Lake have suddenly discovered that fish people like to play on the water. At first, this behavior was watched by many students, and young wizards rushed to witness this originally mysterious creature at the bottom of the lake.
Gradually, the school received many complaints from students that the fish-man fights often caused the boats to capsize. Although subject to an agreement with the school, the fish-people will send the overboard students back to shore, but the things that the students have fallen into the water are often missing.
After several investigations by the school, they finally had no choice but to say that Linzhong Lake was the territory of the fish-man tribe, and the school had no right to interfere with the frolic of the fish-people in their own territory. It can only be recommended that everyone take extra precautions when crossing the lake by boat.
Iseni didn't care what bothered the muddy mud on the shore.
His business started to grow again.
It's satisfying.
That's enough.
Since humbly accepting the fat wizard's opinion, Iseni is pleased to find that the amount of harvest from his friends is steadily increasing. Especially in the freshman season, taking advantage of the opportunity of those ignorant newcomers to ferry on Linzhong Lake, the fish people can always reap more abundant results than before.
The bigger gain lies in the respectful gaze of the friends.
No one uses a fishhook to mock Iseni's name anymore.
The short period of trading with the black-robed wizard for just over a year has not only made it the leader of the new generation, but has even won it the admiration of many Fishman Elders—which is not easy for the Fishman tribe, which has always been knowledgeable.
But high returns and high risks are always closely linked.
Often walk on the lakeside, how can there be no wet fins.
Although the young fish-man was unaware of the theoretical knowledge that these wizards had gathered, it did not prevent it from being aware of the risks of what it was doing.
It's not the first time a trade like tonight has failed.
"What should come will come. ”
Iseni, who was shuttling through the forest, suddenly stopped and shook his dorsal fin.
The sparkling waters of Linzhong Lake are already in front of you, and you can even hear the bubbling water and smell the serene aroma of algae on the lake's surface.
But failure and success are often always separated by a thin line.
In front of it, a young wizard dressed in a red robe and holding a wooden staff suddenly appeared, blocking the end of the forest path.
