Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 12 Bargaining

How could Charles miss such a good opportunity? He quickly said: "Dear Mr. Magician, 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."

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."

Ryan saw that Charles agreed. He nodded and said, "Okay, but please give me 200 copper coins."

If you don’t take two light silver coins, you have to exchange them for 200 copper coins of equal 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 money bag, and put his hands in Ryan's hands.

In fact, Ryan doesn't really care about these two silver coins.In addition to clearing his storage pockets, the main reason for him was to let Allen know how to buy and sell things and to bargain.It's a pity that Charles' flattery made Ryan's plan completely fail. How can anyone who buys sells up 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. Don’t make a noise, just use copper coins. Jokes.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 were, they wouldn’t say it.

Speaking of that, 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 sold out. A total of more than 200 were sold. gold.It was also the first time Ryan saw a lot of shiny things, so he grabbed a hand and played.As a result, he felt that gold coins were heavier than 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 in his heart. He didn't want to take advantage of others, so he deliberately called the price lower. Ryan would never do things he didn't like for a small amount of money.

Now that 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 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 publicity opportunity!"

He quickly called the apprentice to let the apprentice put these things down.

Seeing 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 these thieves’ weapons of the gang, we can use it to do it once. Exhibitions and auctions. Take this broken long sword as an 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 this situation , It can also be said that this is justice defeated evil, let those fanatical and heroic guys buy it for collection. Taking advantage of Scar and the reputation of this young magician, I believe that the business of our fire hammer equipment store will be more Prosperous."

Sure enough, at the Victory Day celebration next month, the Fire Hammer Equipment Store used the acquired items to make a big publicity. After spending a sum of money, it hired several bards to vigorously promote the young wizard's independent removal of thieves. At the same time, 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 thought that Charles would use this method of promoting the product. He and Elendo returned to their camp together. 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 Taren Prairie.This was the place where 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 was 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 abundant, they settled down, and gradually formed a small town of more than 1,000 people.

The sheep here produce very good quality wool, which is spun into wool and shipped to all parts of 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 door of his tent to drive away evil spirits and seek safety, so it was called As the town of croissants.

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 grassland, far from the endless magnificent scene in the middle of the prairie, it is still extremely shocking for Lane.Looking at the dense fog town in my hometown, there are only endless mountains. Where can there be such a scene?

Ryan walked briskly on the soft grass, listening to the whistling sound of the wind in his ears, watching the white clouds in the sky drifting with the wind, and felt a lot of openness in his heart. He could live in such an environment. What a treat.

Elendo has been walking on the Eslar continent for five years, and he has also traveled deep into the South Tarun prairie. Naturally, he saw a lot of scenes before him. He calmly remembered a very critical issue and quickly reminded Ryan: "I thought Giethoorn here is similar to Elfa City, and there are also relatively lush jungles. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an endless grassland. Then on this grassland, how can we solve this group of thieves?"

Ryan realized the seriousness of the matter after Ellendor’s reminder. He thought that this time he could still use the terrain to make a sneak attack while the thieves were not prepared to use fireball and other magic to kill the thieves, and then partnered with Ellendor. Clean up the remaining thieves, but I didn't expect that this place turned out to be a great plain, with almost no jungle.It is said that this group of thieves owns horses, so they can go in circles 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 did not come up with a good solution. They had no choice but to go to Yangjiao Town first and find the mayor who released 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 men in charge of vigilance in the town immediately shouted loudly to stop the two of them from moving forward. Only after Ryan declared his identity and origin aloud, did he open the thick The wooden door let Ryan and Allen more 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 interrogating. 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 behind the young man, carefully observing the town of Giethoorn.

A barrier was surrounded by countless large wooden stakes around Yangjiao Town. These barriers as high as one person could 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.

Next to each household’s tent, there will be a sheep pen of varying sizes, which is surrounded by more or less Talun sheep, with more or less hundreds of them, and less than a dozen.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 counted it roughly. There are at least five horses in a household. Then there are more than 5,000 horses in the entire Giethoorn Town. 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 about the purpose of the haystack. The young man looked at Ryan coldly without speaking. .

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 where a tall black tent stands alone, which is completely different from the crowded scenes of other herdsmen.

A chubby middle-aged man stood at the door of the big black 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 heard the young man's words, nodded, and said loudly to Ryan: "Hello, welcome two adventurers to Giethoorn Town. I am the mayor of Giethoorn Town, Jeril"
