Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard Chapter 2: Bargaining
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
How could Charles miss such a good opportunity? He quickly said: "Dear Mage, I think the value of this shipment is far more than your price. I am willing to pay a price that matches it. "
Ryan thought for a while and counter-offered: "In that case, you can give me 50 copper coins."
When Charles heard what Ryan said, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. The temper of this magician is really elusive. He resolutely gave up his plan to win Ryan with gold coins, and immediately followed Ryan's words: "Dear Mage, since you insist on doing this, then I'll buy it according to your first offer."
Lane saw that Charles agreed. He nodded and said, "Okay, but please give me 200 copper coins."
If you don’t take the two lightweight silver coins, you have to exchange them for 200 copper coins of the same value. Charles regarded all this as a quirk of the magician in front of him. He quickly asked the apprentice to bring 200 copper coins, put them in a brand new purse, and put his hands in Ryan's hands.
In fact, Ryan doesn't really care about these two silver coins. The reason why he did this, apart from cleaning his storage pockets, was mainly to let Allen know how to buy and sell things, and to bargain. It's a pity that Charles' flattery made Ryan's plan a complete failure. How can anyone who buys something desperately raises the price?
The reason why Ryan asked for 200 copper coins was because he planned to talk to Allen more about the common sense of life such as the style of gold, silver, and copper coins and the exchange relationship between them. A joke for taking copper coins. This is Ryan's own personal experience when he was a child. Of course, only his parents and Teacher Galibu knew about this matter. No matter how good friends, they wouldn't say it.
Speaking of that matter, it’s actually nothing. When he was a child, Ryan had never seen money. The fur, magic core and other things that could be sold on Earth Bear were all sold out. More than 200 gold coins. It was also the first time Ryan saw a lot of shiny things, so he grabbed a hand and played with it. As a result, he felt that the gold coins were heavier than the copper coins, so he threw away all the gold coins in his hand and only took the copper coins.
In fact, Ryan had guessed Charles' thoughts a little bit in his heart. He didn't want to take advantage of others, so he deliberately shouted the price lower and lower. Ryan would never do things that he didn't like for a small amount of money.
Since the things were sold, Ryan didn't intend to stay, he led Allendo directly out of the Firehammer equipment shop.
After Ryan and the two walked away, the apprentice timidly asked Charles what to do with the pile of things in front of him.
Charles was still annoyed by the failure of his plan just now, he waved his hand and motioned to the apprentice to take it and deal with it casually.
Just when the apprentice was holding this pile of broken weapons and preparing to take it inside, Charles slapped his head and said loudly to himself: "I'm so stupid, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for publicity!"
He hurriedly called to the apprentice and asked the apprentice to put these things down properly.
Looking at the puzzled look in the apprentice’s eyes, Charles smiled triumphantly and said to him: "If the little magician just now said the truth, then we can use the weapons of the thieves’ scars. It has an exhibition and auction. Take this long sword broken in two for example. We can say that the firehammer products are of high quality. If you use the products of our firehammer equipment store, you will never encounter it. In this case, it can also be said that justice defeats evil. Let those fanatical and heroic guys buy it for collection. Using Scar and the reputation of this young magician, I believe in the business of our Fire Hammer Equipment Store. It will be more prosperous."
Sure enough, at the Victory Day celebration next month, the Fire Hammer Equipment Store used the acquired items to carry out a big publicity, and spent a sum of money to hire a few bards to independently remove the thieves from the young magician. While vigorously propagating it, everyone who listened to this story faintly felt the importance of weapon quality. Didn't you see that the scarred sword was interrupted by a thin magician? As a result, the work itself belongs to the forefront of the Firehammer equipment shop in Alfa City. After Victory Day, the business immediately improved by more than 30%, making Charles laugh in his dreams.
Of course, Ryan never imagined that Charles would use this method of promoting the product. He and Elendo returned to their camp. After a night of rest, the two set off towards Giethoorn.
If the city of Elfa is still located at the junction of mountains and hills, then the town of Giethoorn is on the edge of the South Tarun Prairie. This was the place where the orcs lived hundreds of years ago, and traces of humans rarely appear here. 200 years ago, the orcs were forced to migrate to the northern Taren steppe under the attack of Fernando I, where the living environment is very poor, and it slowly became a human settlement. From time to time, herders migrated through here, and found that the water and grass here are beautiful, they settled down, and gradually formed a small town of more than 1,000 people.
The sheep here produce very good quality wool. They are spun into wool and shipped to various places in the mainland. In addition, 500 war horses can be provided to the Empire every year.
The town originally had no name, but the local customs. When camping, every herder would place a wooden stake with horns on the outside of his tent to drive away evil spirits and seek safety. Therefore, it is called the town of Yangjiao.
After walking for two full days, Ryan and Allendo had already seen the cooking smoke in the town of Yangjiao in the distance. This was the first time Ryan left the mountain and came to the edge of the grassland.
Although Giethoorn is only on the edge of the prairie, far from the endless magnificent sight of the middle of the prairie, it is still extremely shocking for Lane. Looking at the dense fog in my hometown, there are only endless mountains. Where can I see such a scene in front of my eyes?
Lane walked briskly on the soft grass, listening to the whistling sound of the wind in his ears, watching the white clouds floating in the sky with the wind, and felt a lot of openness in his heart, and he could live in this way. In the environment, it is really a kind of enjoyment.
Ellendor has been walking on the Islar continent for five years, and he has also traveled deep into the South Taren prairie. Naturally, he saw a lot of scenes before him. He calmly remembered a very critical question and quickly reminded Ryan: " I thought that Giethoorn here is similar to Elfa City, and there are also relatively lush jungles. I didn’t expect it to be an endless grassland. So how can we solve this group of thieves on this grassland."
Ryan discovered the seriousness of the matter after Ellendor’s reminder. He thought that the terrain could still be used this time, taking advantage of the fact that the thieves were not prepared to carry out a sneak attack, using fireball and other face magic to kill the thieves, and then he and Ai Lundo teamed up to clean up the remaining thieves, but he didn't expect it to be the Great Plains, with almost no jungle. It is said that this group of thieves owns horses, so they can circle with themselves on this wide grassland. They and Allendo are just two people, and they don't have horses. How to clear this group of thieves?
After discussing for a long time, the two of them didn't come up with a good solution, so they decided to go to Giethoorn first and find the mayor who posted the task. Let's get a thorough understanding of the specific situation first.
When Ryan and Allendo appeared in the sight of Giethoorn, several young people in charge of the town’s vigilance immediately shouted loudly to stop the two of them from moving forward. They opened it only after Ryan made a loud statement about his identity and origin. The thick wooden door allowed Ryan and Allen to walk in.
In the suspicious eyes of more than a dozen young people holding wooden sticks, Ryan and Allendo repeatedly accepted questions. When Ryan's patience was about to lose, these dozen youths stopped questioning. One of them took Ryan and Allendo through the gray tents and walked towards the largest black tent in the middle of Giethoorn.
Ryan and Allendo followed the young man, carefully observing the town of Giethoorn.
A barrier is surrounded by countless large wooden stakes around Giethoorn Town. These barriers as high as one person can effectively resist the threat of wolves. The residents of the town live in the gray tents set up in the town. The space between the tents is so small that only one person can pass through.
Beside the tent of each household, there will be a sheep pen of varying sizes, which is surrounded by more or less Talun sheep, with hundreds of them and a dozen or so. The air of Yangjiao Town was filled with the bashful smell of sheep.
On the other side of the tent, there is usually a stable. Ryan roughly counted. There are at least five horses in a household. Then there are more than 5,000 horses in Giethoorn. This is not a small number. .
In addition, there are tall haystacks near every tent in almost every household. Ryan asked the young man who led the way, what the haystack was for, and the young man looked at Ryan coldly. , Did not speak.
A large number of tents, sheep pens, stables and haystacks make the entire Giethoorn town very crowded.
In the center of Giethoorn, there is a very spacious open space. A tall black tent stands alone there, which is completely different from the crowded scenes of other herdsmen.
A chubby middle-aged man stood at the door of the **** tent. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes made of white wool, in stark contrast with the four attendants in gray clothes behind him. In addition, the fat middle-aged man's face seemed a little gloomy.
Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, the young man who came with Ryan quickly walked over and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
The middle-aged man listened to the young man's words, nodded, and said loudly to Ryan: "Hello, welcome two adventurers to Giethoorn Town. I am the mayor of Giethoorn, Jeril"
