Almighty Alchemist - v5 Chapter 2

Although he does not have abnormal observation power like Raschel, Xiuyi can still see the knight’s expression changes after seeing the wind feathers in his hand.

Xiu Yi immediately realized that these wind feathers might cause him unnecessary trouble, so he quickly said, “But when it comes to help, I do have some questions and want to ask. Can you tell me what I have What kind of bird’s feather is this? “

The knight was stunned, and Xiuyi said, “This is the two birds that just flew off. I see that they look very beautiful, the feathers are bright, and the sound is good, but I have never seen . The Gasconn family is very knowledgeable and must know. “

“So you picked these feathers?”

“Yes, aren’t they beautiful?” Xiu turned the wind feather in his hand indifferently, and he could see the knight’s eyes shooting with greed.

After learning that Feng Yu was picked up by the boy in front of him, the knight’s mood was greatly relaxed. Wind crows are not catchable by anyone. They are flying high in the air, and they are wind-based Warcraft. Everyone who can catch them is an extraordinary person with great ability. Even the Gasconn family, who has a license to capture Warcraft, has always wanted to get a pair of wind crows, but they have never been able to taste it.

Now on the market, a Fengyu has already fried hundreds of Jinweite high prices. If it is sold to the east and north continents, the price can skyrocket tenfold.

In other words, the wind feather in Xiuyi’s hand is very valuable.

“It’s just a kind of migratory bird. It’s not a big deal. You’re so strange.” The knight answered coldly.

“So it is.” Xiu Yi nodded with a smile.

“But these feathers are really beautiful. You might as well give them to me, and I can pay you a King Witt for this.”

Xiuyi was speechless. If the previous greetings from the Gascoigne family still made him feel good, then the knight’s words now made him very offensive. Even if he doesn’t know the market of the southern continent, does he still not know the market of the northern continent? Even if the southern continent has a wind crow, he believes that it can never be flooded to a point where it is worthless.

People are always willing to give small favors, but they cannot stand the test in the face of huge temptations of interest. Just like the world’s most greedy adulterers, it is also possible to put a few dollars in the beggar’s bowl, but that cannot hide their greedy nature. What makes Xiuyi uncertain is that he doesn’t know if this is just the Cavaliers’ greed or the whole team.

So Xiu said lightly: “I’m sorry, I like these feathers and don’t plan to sell them.”

“If you think you have less money, I can add you more.”

“I’m sorry, that’s not a question of money.” Xiuyi made a noble salute, which implies that the other party is a noble boy who may come out to travel, and people like them are not short of money.

This makes the knight somewhat helpless. If the opponent is a civilian, he snatches it; if the opponent is a poacher, he can even kill the opponent.

But this young man is well-dressed and speaks calmly. Obviously he is a well-educated family member, so he must be careful.

If there is any big trouble for a few wind feathers, it is not worth it.

After thinking about it, the knight asked Xiuyi: “Since you don’t want to sell, then forget it. By the way, we are going to Raven City, how about you?”

Raven City is a transit city in the Baoqin Plain. It mainly provides services to merchants. It is an important distribution center for alchemy materials. Its status is quite similar to the Royal City of the Reims Empire. Before Xiu Yi came, I also knew a little about the southern continent, so I knew this place. An aquatic raven is abundant there. Every summer, flocks of ravens will fly away from the water, dazzling in the sky above the city. The scene is so spectacular that it is named Raven City.

At this moment Xiuyi’s mouth was slightly skimmed: “That’s a coincidence, I’m going to Raven City too.”

“In this case, it is better to go on the road together? You know that Baoqin Plain is not a peaceful place. There are all kinds of people here. With us, you can get the best protection.”

Looking down for a while, Xiu Yi finally nodded: “Okay, I agree.”

“So, what’s your name? Where does it come from?” The Cavalier asked skillfully.

Xiu answered: “Hines.”

He didn’t name his surname, which made the Cavaliers’ attempt to know which family he came from broke.

“Are you sure that the young man picked up the wind feathers, not by other means?” The old man’s expression was serious.

“No, sir, this is what the young man said himself. What puzzles me is that since he did not know the value of Feng Yu, why did he directly reject my purchase request. Although he claimed that he was not short of money, but Even a noble child does not really think that he is not short of money. It is particularly strange that this noble child appears on the grassland alone. “

“It’s really weird, but in my opinion, we might as well divide this matter into two parts. First, the wind feathers were obtained by his own power, which shows that this boy is very powerful , But at the same time he released the Wind Raven, which shows that he is not a greedy and bloodthirsty guy, so we can not worry too much about him. Second, the Wind Ravens encountered their natural enemies and were injured in the fight, the boy He found the falling wind feathers, which shows that he is a lucky man, but it is just that, we also don’t need to care too much about him. “

“You’re right, Mr. Treman, which one do you think might be bigger?”

“I hope it is the former, but I think the latter is more likely. To be honest, I haven’t heard of any young man in the South mainland who has such strength and can easily catch the wind crow. And then let them go. Not everyone has the ability, and even less so. “

“That’s true, sir.”

“Then let him follow the car. He doesn’t threaten us in any way, doesn’t he? As for his unwillingness to sell us the wind feather … Honestly, it’s just a few, it’s not necessary Deception is used. Clark, you are just not good at that. You are too fond of being cheap. Remember, a person’s temperament determines his success. If the teenager is unwilling to sell, then forget it. “

“Yes, sir.”

The Cavaliers retreated a bit disheartenedly. He had hoped that Mr. Treman could allow him to use some tricks to get the wind feathers from the teenager, but he did not expect the old man to refuse.

In his opinion, this is a godsend’s wealth. The young man is not worthy of having precious wind feathers. Since the old man is unwilling, maybe he should think of some way to solve this problem. This made him ignore the other possibility that the old man said of the two possibilities, that is, if the young man obtained the wind feather himself, it meant that it was not the person he could provoke. Greed is short-sighted. Clark Knight ignores the hidden meaning behind this possibility, but the old man does not.

That’s why he can be the leader of this team, and the Clark Cavaliers can only saddle up and wait for orders.

There are still three days to go to Raven City.

During this time, Xiuyi got a general understanding of the team.

The Gasconn family is a large commercial family from the province of Derek in the Sierra Empire. They are located in the blue ear jungle area. The name is there because of the breed of blue ear rabbits. This blue ear rabbit is in Derek province. The main source of meat is matched by a strong rabbit fur business.

The Gascoigne family travels to Raven City several times a year. They transport rabbit hair, rabbit meat, and cedar that are rich in Derek Province to Raven City, except for the alchemy resources, which are relatively lacking in other resources, and also capture And purchase a large amount of alchemy materials, and then transported to the north continent, in exchange for the special goods there, and then shipped back to Derek Province. In a business like this, they only need to make one trip each year to earn millions of King Witt. What’s hard to imagine is that the source of the goods used to obtain the wealth of millions of gold vitae is the ordinary goods loaded in the fleet that Xiu currently sees … rabbit fur, rabbit meat, cedar, a small amount Alchemy materials collected on the way and some gold coins. The Gascoigne family used these seemingly inconspicuous goods to obtain huge benefits through layer by layer regional differences.

The benefits of such windfall profits are less costs and huge investment returns, but this business model also has huge risks. Almost all the profits of the Gascoigne family were generated during a long journey. They had to cross half of the continent, transport the goods from one end of the continent to the other, and then cross the ocean, returning when dealing with foreigners. Special care must be taken, because they may be eaten by some greedy **** with people at any time, and when they return, they have to endure the risk of crossing the sea again, crossing more than half of the land and returning to their own land.

The Gascoigne family sends about ten such teams each year, but often only one or two can return successfully. The remaining teams either disappear in the vast sea or encounter bandits, and then return empty-handed. Even so, the Gasconn family still quickly became one of the big commercial families of the Sierra Empire with the huge benefits behind it.

Mr. Trieman is the leader of this team. As an experienced business leader, Trieman knows the truth: good intentions may not necessarily bring good news, but malicious intentions will definitely attract bad news. So he never took the initiative to cause trouble. The Gascoigne family’s business profit was already large enough. The family’s need to consider not how to further increase profits, but how to further increase security and ensure the success rate of transactions. Because of this, Mr. Triman will never cause himself unnecessary trouble for a small profit. It is also his prudence and wisdom that led him to successfully complete three trips to and from the north and south continents, becoming the family’s most valued leader in running business.

From this point, Xiu Yi quickly concluded that in this caravan, he should not encounter any trouble.

Of course, there are certain things that cannot be fully predicted by intelligence alone.

When night fell, the caravan stopped in a mountain nest.

Xiu Yi lit a bonfire alone.

Not far from him, the knights of the Guardian of the Gascoigne family were gathering to drink. Some maids brought fresh roasted meat for them, and several knights who drank too much even took the opportunity to manually kick the maids. The maids were not angry, but just laughed and yelled and left the skirt.

At the other end of the convoy, someone was playing the bagpipes, where the driver and porter gathered for dinner.

Although they belong to the same team as the Cavaliers, they belong to two worlds. The former is a low-level existence, while the latter is much more noble.

Unlike the northern continent, the ranks of middle and low-level samurai here are obviously slightly higher.

“It looks like you don’t like to be hilarious.” Xiu sounded behind him.

Xiu looked back, and then he stood up: “Mr. Treman.”

“Oh, you’re welcome. Sit down, guy.” Triman said with a grin.

He sat down next to Xiu Yi and raised the tin jug in his hand: “Come on some rum? The specialty of the northern continent is not always easy to drink.”

“Thank you.” Xiu took the teapot Triman poured from him with the teacup in his hand.

I did not expect that he had just drank the wine of the northern continent when he had just arrived in the southern continent, which made him laugh a little. If he could, he would prefer to taste the local specialty here.

“So … are you sure you don’t plan to be with them?” Treman asked, and the old man looked kind and kind.

Xiu shrugged. “I’m not the same person as them.”

Whether it is a coachman or a warrior, Xiuyi is incompatible with them in essence.

“That’s right, then … lad, since everyone is walking together, maybe you can tell me your origin? Oh, please don’t get me wrong, I’m not suspicious. As an old man, I have traveled south and north for many years I know that there are some people who do n’t like others to ask themselves, but I also know that sometimes the way to open the door is easier to get each other ’s friendship. I can see that you are a well-educated young man, so you Let me have some interest in you. “

“I can fully understand.” Xiu answered very seriously: “In this case, you can call me Heinstrek.”

“Strike?” Triman was surprised. “I haven’t heard of such a family in the South, but in the North, there is a well-known Strike.”

Xiu Yi smiled and said nothing.

This made Triman a little confused about the details of the boy in front of him.

After thinking about it, he said, “So … there’s something about the feathers you get during the day, and I have to tell you something.”

“They are wind feathers. They come from wind crows. Wind crows are nine-level elemental birds, and the wind is World of Warcraft. They are the fastest elemental birds in the world. Catching them is far more difficult than killing them.” Xiu Yidan said.

“You know?” Treman was surprised.

“It’s just that I haven’t seen the Wind Crow before, but I have always heard of it. When I entered the team at noon, some people said that I was lucky and got wind feathers, so I knew what these feathers represent.”

“That was the case.” Triman understood it. “I must apologize to you. Clark made a mistake. As a knight, he shouldn’t deceive you.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Xiu answered.

Sitting in front of the fire, he looked at the knights who were drinking there. A group of warriors were sitting with their heads talking and talking.

From time to time, the captain of the Cavaliers, Clark, glanced back at himself.

I can see that his eyes are very bad. !! ~!
