Chapter 773 762. Merchants in Dodan Town
When Suldak woke up, he found that the ogre brother Gulitum not only grew a head without a face on his shoulder overnight.
Moreover, he began to grow taller again, and his shoulders became much wider and thicker than before. The three-meter-long bone-crushing stick instantly turned into a one-handed weapon in his hand, which made Suldak feel a little envious, Jealousy, also a little sour, like a drop of lemon juice dripping into a wine glass.
…
This morning, Suldak was woken up by the sound of hooves of dozens of war horses galloping out of the camp at the same time.
As soon as he opened the window, he found Captain Adams's confidant standing outside the small building. When he saw him, he immediately reported the abnormal reaction of the ogre Gullitum.
Hearing that the ogre Gulitum was in trouble, Suldak ran out quickly, rode his horse and ran to the river outside the town, and then saw Gulitum holding the big meat bag on his shoulder with one hand , Standing on the bank of the river, weeping and laughing with joy.
After he listened to Gullitum sitting by the river and finished talking about the dream last night, he took a closer look at the big meat bag on his shoulder.
To be precise, this is no longer a big meat bun. Suldak could clearly see that the ogre's spine was divided into two forks at the back of the heart. One cervical vertebra was supporting Gulitum's head, and the other The root cervical vertebra extends directly into the big meat bag.
The clavicles in the middle of the ogre's two heads are connected together, and it looks like the entire chest is thicker.
"Then you are completely awakened now?" Suldak stood by the river, looked at the ogre standing in the stream, and asked seriously.
"I haven't fully awakened yet. It can be said that I have already been born with another personality. It's just that he is still sleeping and needs more nourishment to wake up. Now my body is starting to become stronger..." Ogre Gu Litum walked out of the river, dripping water continuously from his body.
The skin on his body turned a pale grayish-white, and had a marble luster. It felt cool to the touch, and was as hard as a rock.
"You mean to continue supplementing nutrition?" Suldak patted his forehead. He felt that this foodie was really not easy to raise.
When he was in Wojmara City, he felt that as long as he had enough wheat cakes and broth, he could feed himself. Later, when he lived in Woer Village, Suldak specially prepared hundreds of gazelles. Now in Bailin In the Dodan town of the plane, this guy has already begun to taste the taste of a fourth-level monster.
"It may take a while for him to fully wake up, it depends on how much I can eat every day, and what kind of food I eat..." the ogre said in a bit of rambling.
He himself is an alternative among ogres, he is a very good ogre, and he also likes to reason with people, and likes to convince people with virtue.
"To be simple, how many monsters like the Queen Ant do we have to eat?" Suldak interrupted Gulitum's nagging.
"Two should be about the same." Gulitham paused and replied honestly.
Suldak sat down on the grass by the river. If it was a second-level monster, even if he ate a hundred of them, it was only a matter of time. With the current fighting power of the few people, hunting a second-level monster is really hard. very simple.
It is not impossible for a third-tier monster, after all, Suldak has many other means.
But the powerful coercion released by this queen ant should obviously be in the category of a fourth-level monster. Although one was successfully hunted and killed in yesterday's battle, it was pure luck. It was the bomb bag that blew up the male ant guards. , the Queen Ant was shot in the body by an armor-piercing arrow when she was running away in a hurry...
"I hope that the battle yesterday didn't scare the ant colonies in the canyon. Otherwise, if we want to go out of the city to hunt that ant queen, it will be a little troublesome." Suldak said to Gulitum.
Adams, who was waiting aside, saw that there was nothing wrong here, so he led the horse up and said to Suldak:
"Commander, if there is nothing to do here, I will go to the north wall to change defense."
Seeing a group of knights waiting on the grass not far away, Suldak nodded and said to Adams: "Oh, by the way, the merit exchange list will continue to be updated recently, if there is any special need, You can bring it up first, and I can prepare some rewards accordingly."
Adams is a smart man, he immediately understood the meaning of Suldak's words.
They are all seconded by Chester Great Swordsman. Since they participated in the city defense of Dodan Town, the benefits cannot only be from the cavalry battalion. The heavy infantry, archers and cavalry they brought here need to be allocated some benefit.
Suldak has some second-level Warcraft leather in his hand, these are the most basic substrates for making primary magic pattern structures.
Adams thought for a while before saying: "Forget about the base material of the magic pattern construction. Finding an inscriber who does not waste materials these days is simply looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the production cost of a tailor-made magic pattern construction may be an ordinary person's lifetime." I can’t afford it, I can prepare some finished magic weapons, enchanted weapons shouldn’t be too expensive, and I might prepare to accumulate some merits and exchange them for a magic pattern.”
"The second magic pattern, in addition to the possibility of multiplying your merits several times, you also need to be promoted to a second-rank powerhouse, so that you may have enough carrying capacity!" Suldak said to Adams.
Adams took a deep breath, forced a smile, and waved his hands: "Then pretend I didn't say..."
…
In the morning of Dodan Town, when the sun shines, the whole town gradually becomes lively.
Of course, many places are the most lively in the free market and at the entrance of the bakery. Residents living near the bakery like to get up early to buy the kind that has just been taken out of the oven. It tastes full of wheat flavor and has a crispy skin. whole wheat bread.
Wealthy families can also brush a layer of honey on the crispy skin, which tastes delicious and sweet.
Selena would show up at the free market on time every morning to set the prices of the day for the few types of vegetables here.
The vegetable vendors are used to pricing, and they don’t even care if they can sell all the vegetables, because even if they can’t be sold, they can all be sent to the garrison camp, and the camp will buy them all at a guaranteed price.
Selena wants to spread the dark teachings to this town.
The people of the Green Empire believe in the Statue of Liberty. Even though the Statue of Liberty has abandoned them now, people still uphold this belief and look forward to the divine brilliance of the goddess to shine on the world again.
But the aborigines of the Bailin plane don't have that deep affection for the Statue of Liberty, so these aborigines are the next target of Selina's communication.
Now is the time for her to make a splash in the town.
She is wearing a wool black dress made of wool, with a graceful figure and fair skin, deep blue eyes like lake water, and **** lips, outlining a delicate woman like a statue.
When the residents of the small town see her, no matter who they are, they will greet her, and the small vendors will come out to salute respectfully and say some greetings.
She acted very haughty, said little, just nodded slightly.
…
Losing the commander of the new ant queen, the ant colony retreated to the middle of the Dodan Canyon, where they wandered, driven by the instinct in memory, and gathered towards the north city wall little by little, although they still had the consciousness of attacking, But it no longer fights as a whole.
They are like a plate of loose sand, scattered in the canyon.
Generally, if it is not absolutely necessary, they will bypass those useless ghost-striped worker ants.
In fact, ghost-striped worker ants also have a little effect. Now the butcher shop in Duodan town buys ghost-striped worker ants, but the price of a complete ghost-striped worker ant is only 30 copper coins, and few mercenary groups will deal with them. worker ants.
Ghost-patterned soldier ants are much more valuable. Not only is there a magic core hidden in their heads, but the hard armor on the soldier ants is also one of the main commodities purchased by merchants in Dodan Town.
…
In the past few days, as the military supplies have arrived in Dodan Town one after another.
The merchants have already cooperated closely with the military camp, and the military camp has exchanged the hides of a large number of low-level monsters for military supplies.
Currently they can only trade this part of the commodity.
Regarding this, the merchants in Dodan Town have a lot of complaints.
The merchants complained that the military camp was not open to the trade of hard armor leather, and everyone united to protest to the military camp. The merchants felt that they had a large amount of military supplies in their hands, so they had the capital to negotiate with the military camp.
It's just that the military camp has remained silent these days, and no news has come.
Of course, the residents of the town may not be aware of the specific reason why the garrison banned the sale of soldier ant hard armor, but the merchants all know what is going on, but they hope to use the military supplies in their hands to force the military camp to relax the sales restrictions conditions of.
The trade prospects formed by these hard armors are too great, so that the merchants have to seriously think about what can impress the commander.
Just when the merchants were able to try again to discuss the hard armor trade of ghost-striped soldier ants, Dodan Town actually ushered in a battle victory, and the garrison in Dodan Town actually successfully sniped and killed a new queen ant.
It is said that this time the garrison recovered a large number of fine steel arrows and giant crossbow arrows from outside the city. This news was poured on everyone's heads like a basin of cold water.
Moreover, some big businessmen in Dodan Town have also received another news, that is, the fifth batch of military supplies has departed from Wilkes City.
It has to be said that the Wilkes City Military Department has made full preparations for this beast wave, at least in terms of military supplies, it has been continuously supplying the front line.
And the legion stationed in the Thorn Mountains is the Luthor Legion with many achievements in the province of Bena.
The mercenaries in the town took advantage of this opportunity and ran outside the city in groups to hunt down the ghost pattern soldiers.
In just one day, the merchants bought more than a hundred complete ghost pattern soldier ants.
Seeing the hard carapaces of ghost pattern soldier ants drying on the large grassland on the south side of the town, the merchants fell silent again. The entire hillside was covered with hard carapaces, and it was impossible to count how many there were.
The hearts of the merchants were full of resentment again. If it hadn't been for those people who were greedy for small profits to hide the real price of the soldier ant's hard armor, which annoyed the commander, at least half of these hard armor could be sold in the town. Complete the transaction on…
…
During these four days, the garrison guarding the north city wall killed too many ghost pattern soldiers.
In the morning, a group of businessmen blocked Selina at the door of the bakery.
A grey-haired, elderly-looking businessman stood out from the crowd and looked up at Selina standing on the steps.
In his hand, he held a bundle of feather arrows wrapped in oiled paper, a bundle of exactly ten arrows.
It looks neat and tidy, and it also exudes a faint smell of oil.
The businessman narrowed his eyes and said sincerely to Selena: "Ms. Selena, we are willing to trade with you for brand new arrows. In order to show the sincerity of our firm, we can give you a very low price." , as you know, we don't just want to do this business, we also want to..."
"Magic spar, all I can get out is some magic spar." Selena interrupted him, and said with a firm expression: "You should probably know that there are so many magic beasts hunted here, and there is no shortage of magic crystals." I would rather suffer a bit. One magic spar can be exchanged for 10,000 stainless steel arrows. If it is a complete arrow, it can be exchanged for 2,000. One magic spar can buy almost 3,500 arrows in Wilkes City. arrow."
After speaking, Selena lifted her long skirt and was about to walk down the steps.
"...No magic spar, we want to trade hard armor." The old businessman stopped Selina and said hastily.
Selena took the bundle of arrows, tore off the oil paper on the surface, and with a faint smile on her face, she asked the old businessman, "What are you trading with me for?"
Selena's tone was a bit aggressive: "It's just these arrows? Do you need me to calculate the market price of this kind of hard armor? How many pieces of hard armor do you think can be exchanged for the arrows of this carriage? Even if you buy ten Car and Arrow, how much hard armor can I exchange for it?"
After finishing speaking, she walked down a section of steps, approached the old businessman, and continued to say to him:
"At the beginning when our commander approached you, we talked about the trade of these hard armors, but you have never given a clear statement, saying that the thing is very cheap, and almost no one wants it in the market, but now... we still have it. There is a backlog of magic crystals, and there is no shortage of gold coins, I will say the same thing, what are you going to trade with us?"
The old businessman was so questioned that he had nothing to say, and subconsciously took half a step back.
Selena stuffed the bundle of arrows into the hands of the old businessman, took another step closer, and continued: "Of course, if you have materials such as magic pattern construction or magic crossbow bolts in your hands, it is not impossible to talk about them. "
"..."
The old businessman was a little dumbfounded by what Selina said.
Of course he couldn't get the magic pattern structure, even the magic giant crossbow bolts are actually very difficult for ordinary merchants to get.
Selena didn't say anything more, and took the opportunity to leave the bakery.
Those merchants did not catch up again.
Seeing Selena raising her neck proudly like a white swan and leaving, the old businessman stood still and sighed.
The other merchants stayed silent all the time, and after Selina left, everyone said in one go: "It doesn't matter, even if the hard armor leather is not sold at the military camp, we still can't buy it now." Hard armor!"
The young businessman said: "In fact, these mercenaries in the town hunted and killed more than a hundred ghost pattern soldier ants in just one day..."
Other merchants echoed, "That's...that's it!"
The young businessman continued proudly: "As long as we don't compete maliciously and don't drive up the purchase price of the hard armor leather, we can still make money. Why do we have to buy the hard armor leather in the military camp..."
