Chapter 98: Purchase of Property (Part 1)
Chapter 98: Purchase Industry (Part 1)
Sumano drank ale and tried to maintain his appearance. He could see that Salin was quite a bit of a small background. He had been in this business that led the way to sell news for several years. Most people heard about the expenses in Alchemy City, and few people were as calm as Salin.
Most people will immediately ask him how to spend less money to live in Alchemy City, and a few will ask about the tips for doing Alchemy City tasks. Both of these information can bring him a lot of income.
Not only was Salin calm as usual, but the female wizard wearing colorful robes were the same. The female samurai and the maid were indifferent. What Sumano didn't understand the most was that the white robe mage had no reaction.
In fact, Salin and Rex don't care about such huge expenses because they have items that can be exchanged for. At worst, Shika can leave. She is not a magician, and she will not feel heartbreaking pain even if she leaves. Neris is Salin's contract creature, and she will go wherever Salin is. As for Daniel, he is so poor that he has nothing to do. Anyway, he is in a state of extreme poverty and has no worries about life.
Since Rex wants to use him, he has to care about his expenses.
He was different from other magicians. After he did the desecration of the Lord of Glory, he followed Salin and Rex wholeheartedly.
Daniel learns magic entirely because of his yearning for the profession of magicians. It doesn’t matter what achievements he will achieve in the future. His efforts are simply because he likes magic and has no interest other than that.
For many mages, the word freedom is also meaningless in Daniel's opinion. If Salin can always provide the materials for his cultivation, he doesn't mind helping Salin continue to do it.
Su Manno couldn't guess the origins of these five people and asked tentatively: "Sir Salin, are you planning..."
"You don't have to worry about money. I will pay you how much you charge others." Salin didn't look at Sumano's expression, he looked at the few people across the four seats.
The pub is not large, and Salin can clearly see the expressions of the four people, but cannot hear what they are saying. There is glass between the seats in the pub. At first, Salin thought it was a decoration to install magic lamps. Now he discovered that these glasses have sound insulation magical abilities.
There were four mages on the seats over there, three of whom were wearing white robes, and the other one was a mage of gray robes. The four of them looked about thirty years old. If they weren't in the Alchemy City, these four people would be considered good talents.
Salin saw them arguing and couldn't hear what they were arguing.
"Sir Salin."
"Um?"
"They are studying whether they want to hire swordsmen?" Sumano said beside him.
"How do you know?" Surrey, you were surprised. Even your perception could not penetrate into the glass. Sumano, a senior apprentice, naturally would not have stronger mental power.
"This kind of thing is common in Alchemy City. The tasks they take on will be a bit risky. If you hire a few swordsmen around you, it will be much safer. It should be a war of land monsters."
"What are the origins of those hiring swordsmen?"
"There is a swordsman camp in the east of the city, which belongs to the Alchemy City, and specializes in this business."
"There is also a swordsman camp in Alchemy City?" Salin asked in surprise.
"There are four, and all are full."
"Why have I never heard of it?" Rex interrupted. She didn't arrange any spies in Alchemy City. The problem is that the existence of the four swordsman camps is impossible, and Holy Rock City doesn't know.
"It's been happening in recent years. Alchemy City originally had only one swordsman camp, which serves the mages of Alchemy City. People outside did not know their existence. Later, the mages issued more and more tasks, and swordsmen began to take over these. The swordsmen were looked down upon and gathered in the east of the city. The mages just sent management personnel to organize the swordsmen again, and actually controlled the employment price of these swordsmen."
"This is good for the swordsmen, too."
"Of course, if you become a person in Alchemy City, you will be much cheaper in food and accommodation in the future, and you will not be abandoned after completing your tasks."
Salin didn't ask anything more. Alchemy City was very strict. It was really attacked by an army. There were four battalions of swordsmen, which were enough to defend the city. If the employment cost of these swordsmen was lower than that of the driving structured puppets, Salin wanted to hire a few.
Among the four people quarreling there, the gray-robed mage accidentally glanced over and collided with Salin's gaze. He ignored his companions' words, stood up and walked towards Salin's seat.
"Mr. Mage!" The gray-robed mage spoke from a distance. Salin stood up. The gray-robed mage came to Salin and said, "Mr. Mage, can we form a contract team?"
"Contract Team?" Salin frowned. The gray-robed mage ignored etiquette and asked inexplicable words when he came up.
"Don't you know the new mission of the Alchemy Tower? But the level seven mission." The gray-robed mage said to himself: "Someone has discovered a dragon in the Green Islands, and the Alchemy Tower has confirmed the news."
Salin shook his head and directly refused the invitation from the gray-robed mage.
The mission of hunting dragons? He didn't think about this. A dragon that was about to die almost killed himself. He took the initiative to hunt a dragon with unknown conditions, which obviously had an intelligence problem.
"Mr. Mage, the people from the Alchemy Tower will also be dispatched."
Salin still shook his head, and the gray-robed mage looked at Salin in disappointment, feeling contempt in his heart.
Watching the gray-robed mage leave, Salin quickly thought about it. Something was wrong. Although he didn't know where the Green Islands were, there had been no trace of dragons in the entire Meers continent for many years.
Two years ago, a green dragon appeared in Takayama County. A few days ago, the injured Thiago appeared near the Red Copper Castle. Now there are dragons appearing on the island. Has the giant dragon plane been reopened?
"Master Salin, are you not interested in this?" Su Mano saw that Salin directly rejected the other party's invitation, and was a little incomprehensible. For the magician, the dragon turn around is a treasure, and any thing you can make good equipment.
Especially the dragon skin, the back can be used to make armor, and the abdomen is the best material for making scrolls.
A scroll made of dragon skin can withstand the power of forbidden spells.
"I'd better buy a house and settle down first. The task is not urgent. Dragons are not that easy to kill." Salin replied with a smile. Even if he finds someone to work with him, he will not choose the gray-robed mage. A mage who is blinded by interests is not as helpful as a junior swordsman.
Salin now doesn't have to think about why the gray-robed mage quarreled with his companions. It must be that the three white-robed mages didn't want to take on this task. This is understandable. When Salin was below level three, he heard that there was a dragon and how far he would escape. After he was promoted to level four, his confidence began to expand.
If it weren't for meeting Thiago and understanding the strength of Dragon, Salin might be really interested in this mission.
"Okay." Sumano was not disappointed. Salin wanted to buy a house, and he could get a little commission from it. This amount was fixed, and it was from the Alchemy City.
Daniel naturally would not consider the issue of dragons. Rex knew the power of the dragon, and would not force Salin to take on the mission. Faced with these indifferent people, Sumano could only drink the ale one by one, hoping that Salin would need him to do something.
"Sumano, do you have money on you?"
Salin's words scared Su Manno trembled. Could it be that these people have no money? Oh my God, if I take a look at it, wouldn't it be bankrupt?
"Don't get me wrong." Rex looked at Sumano's vivid expression and quickly comforted the old apprentice. She took out a stack of deposit tickets and said to Sumano: "This is a deposit ticket of 20,000 gold coins. How much do you want?"
Su Manno's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing that the top of the deposit was written in the Tanggulas Empire, he knew that none of these deposits belonged to Qin Yin, but he was used to doing exchange transactions and immediately replied: "Tener than 18,000 gold coins."
"How long can you hire except this meal?"
"Half a year."
"Okay, then these gold coins are yours. You will be on call within half a year." Rex said generously. These receipts were not hers, but found in the space equipment of the Black Deacon.
Rex estimated that he would never be able to go to the Tanggulas Empire to withdraw this money in many years. In Qinyin, the deposit discount rate of the Tanggulas Empire Bank was too high, and at such a large amount, no one would be willing to accept it. For Rex, it was very familiar to arrive in a strange place and hire a local person for a long time.
Sumano knew a lot of details about Alchemy City. After hiring for half a year, she and Salin also knew about Alchemy City. As for Sumano's price, Rex was too lazy to bargain.
"Shika, are you full?" Salin looked at Shika and began to wipe his mouth with his sleeves.
Shika nodded, Salin said, "Sumano, put away the money and take us to the Alchemy Tower."
Su Manno was overjoyed. He thought that Salin and others would dump him after this meal, but he didn't expect to pay a commission of half a year. He is actually not worth so much. Ordinary people would hire a week, and six days is enough to understand the Alchemy City.
But he didn't know that Rex raised a group of mages in Kushui County, and the daily consumption of magic cores consumed a lot of money. Although he was just an apprentice, if he was in Kushui County, he would have a few gold coins and magic cores subsidies every day.
Su Manno checked the receipt and put it in his pocket, then called the waiter and paid the cash. He had a way to exchange the receipt, and the discount would be slightly lower than that of Alchemy City, and he would save more than 100 gold coins in the middle.
"Master Salin, if you have enough money, you can actually consider buying a house directly in the Alchemy Tower."
"What's the meaning?"
