Chapter 9: Being Pitted
The beast core, which is regarded as the top general goods in the upper continent, is indispensable for alchemy and pharmaceutical. So different qualities (color, red, yellow, blue, white. rank order) and attributes make its value more variable.
Even if the spirit beast has a power far greater than that of humans, they dare not haunt the human city alone. Desire, so that a group of red-eyed people flock to it, there is only one beast core, and the battle between man and beast often ends up in a melee between humans and humans. At this moment, morality has not disappeared, but it comes and goes as soon as it is called. Noble belongs only to those who stand last. The auction house, the beast cores with clearly marked prices, are completely glorified in the face of greed as another embodiment of wealth, power, and status.
A profession came into being, the bounty hunter, who is actually an outlaw who licks the blood with a knife head, and puts the dream of making a fortune on killing, and the spirit animal is its biggest target. For this reason, money gets carried away, and life and death are put aside.
The Lonely Mountain Range has a huge number of beasts, except for the famous spirit fox, the three major generals under its command are all famous varieties of spirit beasts, and countless bounty hunters come here. A city, rising from the uninhabited wilderness, also known as the mercenary city.
At this moment, scolding and scolding, Yu Ding walked to the mercenary gate, and the city wall stood in place, unable to see the top at a glance, like an angry-eyed King Kong, isolating the two places.
Yu Ding planned to enter the city, but was stopped by the soldiers defending the city, "If you want to enter this city, you need to pay 200 yuan as a protection fee." ”
Yu Ding squandered all the way, where is there any money, not to mention this staggering amount, a toll is two hundred yuan. The other party's family has a big business, and his small arms will definitely not be able to twist other people's thighs, and it is impossible to break through. I had to step forward with a shy face, "I said that this eldest brother is familiar with his face, and the younger brother didn't bring money when he came out this time, and he will definitely do it next time." ”
Seeing that people were coming to make trouble, the soldiers directly raised their weapons and wanted to drive Yu Ding away.
A voice came, "Wait, I think this little brother has an extraordinary bearing, and he will be a dragon and phoenix in the future, so it is better to have a good relationship with the old man." An old man popped out of nowhere, short in stature, unsightly, with messy hair, tattered clothes that hadn't been washed for I don't know how long, and most importantly, his hands were still rubbing mud balls on his body.
Yu Ding's feeling of vomiting came up again, so he had to divert his attention, "The life-saving grace of the predecessors is unforgettable, borrow 500 yuan from the kid, and he will pay it back 100 times a day."
The old man rolled his eyes, "The old man has seen a lot of empty gloves and white wolves, so it's better to be practical." If there is anything valuable on you, the old man will not take advantage of you in vain, and it is all up to his conscience to exchange things for money. ”
When the two brothers left home, the emperor was not allowed to bring any items that could prove their identity, and all the jade pendants and other items were recovered. What's more, Yu Ding only went out with food, regretful, wanted to cry without tears, and really wanted to smoke his two ear scrapers.
As a last resort, Yu Ding had no choice but to take off the armor he was wearing, although the powerful offered treasures, it took no effort to get them. But he has been led by the old man, and Yu Ding has no good face.
The old man's eyes smiled into a slit, "Look at this color, it is made of cold iron, mixed with gold essence to improve its firmness by more than one grade, tsk, but it can't be sold for a good price." Then the old man stretched out his dry fingers, and just pressed them gently, and a groove immediately appeared in the center of the armor.
Hearing this, Yu Ding's face turned green, the person in front of him is not a good stubble, what does the opposite side mean is obvious, there is no blood today, I am afraid that there will be a lot of changes. "Forgive the boy for his clumsiness, the armor is two thousand dollars, and the gentleman can take it."
The old man's eyes narrowed even more, and without saying anything, he raised his five fingers.
"Sir, a fixed price, a fixed price, one thousand five, no matter how low it is, I can't sell it," Yu Ding hurriedly stopped his loss.
After several bargains, the armor was taken away by the old man at a price of six hundred, and the old man looked like he had suffered a big loss. Yu Ding's teeth are itching, when did the little devil suffer such a grievance, the small book is all recorded, gritting his teeth, don't give me a chance.
Yu Ding looked at the six money bags in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart. Take out two and hand them to the guards to go into the city.
I saw that the old man reached out and took it into his arms, and the guards on the side did not react. Yu Ding instantly understood that the so-called army leader in front of him was both fraudulent and collecting.
I couldn't say anything about the suffering, so I had to enter the city, but the old man's palm was spread out, and there was no intention of letting him go, "I think this little brother has an extraordinary bearing, and he will be a dragon and phoenix in the future, so it is better to have a good relationship with the old man."
Yu Ding's face darkened, and as soon as he didn't get angry, he took out a money bag and threw it on the ground, and walked quickly into the city.
"Young man, you just can't hold your breath, just go through it a few more times", the old man smiled as always, and picked up the money bag from the ground.
Assets have shrunk seriously, and Yu Dingxin is dripping blood. The city is bustling with people, and it seems to be no different from the usual city. Yu Ding searched around and filled his stomach before talking.
Seeing the price list, the remaining money on my body can't even afford a stewed chicken, let alone the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the price is outrageous and staggering. Yu Ding, who was eating noodles with green onions, began to sigh about life.
"I'm going to have some fun. "Somewhere in the city, a bear-like man stood up.
After eating, Yu Ding began to worry about his livelihood, and the mercenary city might as well be called the money robbery city. In desperation, through the guidance of passers-by, Yu Ding came to the Bounty Hunters Guild, the most imposing building in the city. There was a crowd in front of the task bar, and many people set up stalls to shout and exchange items.
"Hello, I want to register as a mercenary. Yu Ding found the front desk.
"Five levels of color, red, yellow, blue, and white, accumulate proficiency by completing tasks. Of course, the tasks that can be obtained at each stage are also different, and newcomers can only start with the simplest white-level mercenaries, "I usually deal with a group of big men, and the young lady at the front desk is attracted by the cream boy in front of her, and her attitude is obviously a little different."
At this time, a man walked into the mercenary guild arrogantly, and as soon as the people around saw him, they quickly avoided him. The nickname Han Xiong, just like his name, is infinitely powerful, and he once fought hand-to-hand with the black bear, not at a disadvantage, and finally tore the black bear in half. Who would be idle with an iron Hanhan.
After looking around, Han Xiong went straight to the front desk, saw that Yu Ding was not interested and did not give way, grabbed Yu Ding's clothes, and wanted to throw him out. Yu Ding was angry, and the unlucky things came one after another, and the little temper came up directly and punched out.
Han Xiong is usually arrogant, and he didn't expect the other party to dare to resist, so he suffered a dark loss. There was a sigh in the hall, and the hunters poured up, watching with tacit understanding, a big battle was inevitable.
