Chapter 110 109. Sacrifice 2
New soil was turned around the newly erected tent.
Four ropes extend outward from the top of the tent, firmly fixing the rawhide tent.
Standing in front of the tent of the leather merchant, there is a faint smell of salted fish in the air, and many newly matured leathers are drying, so the smell here is naturally not good, but it happens to be the rainy season at this time, not for drying the leather Good season.
When the leather merchant saw a visitor, he quickly put down his work and let the apprentice continue to stir the leather in the big wooden barrel, and then walked towards us.
He rubbed his hands on the leather apron, saw that Suldak was wearing heavy armor, and knew that he was a soldier in the barracks, so he enthusiastically asked Suldak and He Boqiang: "What do you need? "
In the eyes of the merchants of the empire, every soldier is a high-quality customer. In order to save military expenses on logistics materials, the Grimm Empire military encourages the merchants of the empire to do business with the army on the war plane, and in order to avoid disputes during transactions , also introduced a series of protection bills.
The reason why the military does these things is to fundamentally solve the big problem of logistical material transportation.
Therefore, when trading around the camp, the merchants are protected by the military, and there are very few such forced buying and selling.
Suldak spoke very directly, pointing to the magic antelope heads on the shelf over there, and said to the leather merchant, "I want to buy some antelope heads..."
The magic antelope head is not very precious. Apart from the occasional magic core that comes out of the head, the most valuable thing on the sheep's head is the pair of antelope horns, but a cut magic antelope horn is only worth 1 silver.
Not to mention that the probability of the magic antelope's head opening a magic core is less than one-fifth, even if a magic core is opened, for a first-level monster like the magic antelope, the probability of the magic core containing magic spar is pitifully low, even 10%. Not one.
Fifty magic antelope heads. If you are unlucky, you may not even be able to touch the magic spar fragments. If you want to bet on magic spar, the risk is quite high.
When the fur merchant saw that He Boqiang and Suldak were not buying fur, most of the enthusiasm on his face disappeared.
But they still brought the two of them to the shelf. The shelf was simply nailed with wooden boards. The rough texture of the wooden boards was clearly visible. It was filled with devil antelope heads. The blood stains on these devil antelope heads had been removed. It was opened, and there should still be a magic core inside.
Seeing Suldak look at the head of the magic antelope, the fur merchant asked:
"Are you betting on the magic spar?"
"Yes, our brothers are very interested in gambling on magic cores."
After finishing speaking, Suldak stretched out his arms to He Boqiang's shoulder.
He Boqiang turned to the side and looked at the head of the magic antelope on the shelf.
The fur merchant hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to sell these magic antelope heads. He said, "Well, the magic core rate of these magic antelope heads is actually very average. Do you want to think about it?"
Suldak and He Boqiang looked at each other, then Suldak smiled and said:
"We just like to gamble. With so many magic antelope heads, as long as... as long as... I don't believe that we can't get a magic spar. Are you collecting these magic antelope heads to gamble with magic crystals?"
Seeing Suldak's question, the fur merchant explained:
"Heh, I originally planned to make specimens of these devil antelope heads and take them back to my hometown. Some nobles like to hang these things in their living rooms."
After hearing this, the fur merchant was not angry, smiled at Surdak, and said, "They just want to brag to the guests that this thing was brought back from the hunting ground when they came to visit. It must be rich people. kind of fun."
"Actually, I don't know much about it. I just bring these magic antelope heads back to Bena Province. I don't have to worry about selling them, and the returns are even higher..." the fur merchant said sincerely.
Suldak certainly didn't want to miss these magic antelope heads. With these sacrifices, everyone in the second team could receive the blessing of the sacrifice ceremony, so he decided to offer a high price.
Suldak said to the fur merchant:
"Do you want to think about it again... I will exchange twenty silver coins for a magic antelope head. We want all the magic antelope heads!"
Twenty silver coins to buy a goat's head is not a high price for a fur dealer, especially since the horns on these goat's heads are well preserved, but it is still profitable to sell fifty goat heads at the same time It's a picture, and this thing is not easy to transport. Since someone is willing to buy it, the fur merchant didn't even think about it, so he readily agreed:
"Success! There are fifty-two heads of these magic antelopes on the shelf, and all ten gold coins are taken away."
Ten gold coins can be exchanged for one magic spar, that is to say, as long as one magic spar is opened out of fifty-two magic antelope heads, Suldak and He Boqiang can make a steady profit from this deal.
"Boss, you are really refreshing."
After speaking, Suldak took out a magic spar from his purse with a smile and handed it to the fur trader.
Because Suldak took out a precious magic spar, the magic spar is only a substitute currency that only appears in large transactions, and is more used in the transaction of magic goods, so the fur merchant is very cautious.
He first held it in his hand, and rubbed it against his leather robe vigorously until he polished the magic spar so that even the dots of crystal threads inside were exposed, then he nodded slightly.
He took out another magic rune board, stuck the magic spar on the gemstone base, waited until the patterns on the magic rune board lit up one by one, and then took a breath to confirm that the magic spar was full of color. .
The leather merchant took off the magic spar and carefully put it in his purse, with smiles in his eyes.
He Boqiang and Suldak put the magic antelope heads into a linen bag, but only a few of them filled the bag.
The leather merchant found a few linen bags from the tent, and helped to pack the heads of these magic antelopes. It was not until he walked out of the leather shop that Suldak let out a long breath and said to He Boqiang: "Xiao Da Ke, how did you find out about this leather shop? We seem to be more sure of the ghost hunting competition now!"
The two of them carried the heads of these magic antelopes back to the barracks. The soldiers of the second team were sitting in the tents and preparing for tomorrow's trip.
Seeing Suldak coming back from the outside with a linen bag on his back, Augustus leaned over to help him take the linen bag from Suldak's shoulder, and asked curiously: "Captain, what's in it?" What is it, it is quite weighty!"
Red Socks put down the long sword in his hand, leaned over and untied the rope at the mouth of the bag, and said with a smile: "I guess it's a bag of canned luncheon meat. I've gotten tired of marching rations recently, and the captain wants to give us a change. "
He didn't pay much attention when he spoke, he opened the mouth of the bag, and reached out to feel inside.
Suldak hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Red Sox's hand, and shouted, "Hey! Be careful."
Red Sock froze in place with a dazed expression.
As the mouth of the bag fell, the demon antelope horns inside were exposed in disorder, only half a fist away from the red sock's hand. As long as the red sock's hand fell a little further, it might be pierced by the sharp antelope horns...
In the sweltering tent, the soldiers of the second team saw a bag full of devil antelope heads, with expressions on their faces.
Sorry, the heroine has not appeared yet!
