Mercenary Wars

Chapter 60 Forgetful Moss

Everyone picked two pieces of Forget-Me-Not moss and searched the entire cave. After confirming that there were no other good things or cave entrances, they began to distribute the spoils.

First up was the shark lizard beast. After some bidding and splitting, except for the scales that already belonged to the grocer, the rest of the parts: the hide went to the cave explorer, the acid went to the strong medicine expert, and the crystal core went to the forbidden books merchant...

Gao Jianuo obtained a shark lizard tendon, two bottles of shark lizard blood, and a net income of more than one hundred silver coins.

After dividing the shark lizard beast, the highlight came next - two pieces of Forget Moss.

Compared to the scattered shark lizard beasts, the Forget-Me-Not moss is much easier to deal with. If you want it, just bid directly. The highest bidder wins, and the others share the profit.

Of course, before making a formal bid, everyone must take turns checking the two pieces of Forget-Me-Not Moss to avoid disputes later.

After all, according to the market conditions outside, the price of a piece of Forget Moss is at least close to fifty gold coins, and the highest can reach seventy or eighty gold coins. Even if most members of the black market team are wealthy, this is not a small amount of money and deserves everyone's attention.

Everyone took turns weighing the two pieces of Forget-Me-Not moss, and then observed their quality.

There is nothing much to say about the weight, but the quality is inevitably subjective.

"The quality of the earth-type Forgetful Moss is slightly better, while that of the fire-type is slightly worse." This is the conclusion given by the banned books merchant.

"The quality of the fire-type Forget-Me-Not moss is slightly better, while the earth-type is slightly worse." This is the conclusion given by the strong medicine expert, which is exactly the opposite.

The grocer, the cave-digger, and the orange-seller knew little about herbalism and made no comment.

Still left was the pharmacist "Taff."

Gao Jianuo took the two pieces of Forget-Me-Not Moss, touched them lightly with his fingertips, and some information immediately flooded into his perception.

[Item: Forgetful Moss (Earth)]

[Level: Level 7]

……

[Item: Forgetful Moss (Fire)]

[Level: Level 6]

……

There was no doubt that Gao Jianuo would not make the panel's identification results public. The oath scroll only stated that they must not harm each other, but it did not say that they must be honest with each other.

At first he considered saying the exact opposite so he could take advantage of the situation, but then he thought, wouldn't others be able to guess this little trick?

So in the end, Gao Jianuo chose to combine the appraisal results of the banned books dealer and the strong medicine expert, and said: "The fire element is average, and the earth element is also average."

In this way, the combined appraisals of the three experts are equivalent to no appraisal.

“…” The air was silent for a moment.

"Make your bid directly. The starting price is thirty gold coins, and each bid increases by five gold coins." The grocer broke the silence and pointed at the yellow earth-type Forgotten Moss. "I'll bid thirty gold coins."

Cave seeker: "Thirty-five gold coins."

Forbidden Books Merchant: "Forty gold coins."

Gao Jianuo gritted his teeth and said, "Forty-five gold coins."

The drastic medicine expert seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, but ultimately made no bid.

Seeing that no one offered a bid for a while, the grocer said, "Then this piece of Forget-Me-Not moss belongs to Taff. Forty-five gold coins."

Gao Jianuo handed over forty-five gold coins and took the earth-type Forgetful Moss at the same time. He couldn't help but feel a little painful - this was the largest single expense he had made since he came to the Fararo world!
No, it was probably the single largest expense in his past and present lives. After all, forty-five gold coins was roughly equivalent to the savings of an average person even if they didn't eat or drink for a lifetime. He didn't have that much money in his previous life.

Fortunately, he still made money.

After all, the price of Forget Moss outside was generally over fifty gold coins, so if he just resold it, he could at least make a small profit. Furthermore, considering the panel's appraisal results, earning a dozen gold coins shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, Gao Jianuo's main motivation for buying this piece of Forgetful Moss was not money, but alchemy. As a professional pharmacist, he also had a copy of "Blood Magic Notes" written by a blood elf alchemist, and he had long wanted to learn alchemy.

Alchemy is called "alchemy", but it is actually "magical alchemy". The name "alchemy" is just a commemoration of the unrealistic dreams of ancient alchemists.

Since I want to study magical alchemy, Forget Moss is essential and I have to buy it sooner or later.

It's always cheaper to buy here than outside.

If Gao Jianuo had been free, he would have even wanted to buy the Fire-type Forgetful Moss.

"Next is the Fire-Element Forgetful Moss," the grocer said. "I'll offer thirty gold—"

The banned bookseller blurted out, "Forty gold coins."

The cave-seeker, who clearly had a bad habit of topping the price, followed closely behind, "Forty-five gold coins!"

The banned books merchant's face darkened, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Fifty gold coins."

In the end, the Fire Forget Moss was purchased by the Forbidden Books Merchant for fifty gold coins. The two pieces of Forget Moss totaled ninety-five gold coins, and each person received fifteen gold and eighty-three silver coins.

Gao Jianuo recalled that the statue of Dato I, the bone powder of the undead, the crystal core of the shark lizard, the fire-type forever-forget moss... almost all the major purchases on this trip were made by the banned books dealer.

This made him sigh at the wizard's wealth.

The transaction and money distribution were completed, and everyone counted their gains.

Gao Jianuo also took inventory.

41 gold coins, 54 silver coins, and 11 copper coins. This is all the money he currently has.

As for the items harvested on this trip, they include a Patrick marble slab, three crystal core fragments, two bottles of poisonous frog blood, two bottles of poisonous frog venom, a shark lizard tendon, two bottles of shark lizard blood, and a piece of earth-type Forgetful Moss.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous items, such as a piece of Resban ore that the cave explorer gave to each person because he felt embarrassed to keep it all to himself, and a few less valuable herbs that grew in underground environments.

Overall, this trip was fruitful and safe, completely worthy of Amaro's divination result that it was "worth a visit."

All six of them were in a good mood.

They simply had a picnic in this quiet underground place, took out wine and food, talked and laughed while eating, and the air was full of joy.

After a few drinks, the cave seeker even revealed his true identity: "My name is Bister, a dwarf from the North County of the Kingdom of Thane - did you all guess it? Haha."

Everyone was not surprised by his race, but they were surprised by his hometown: "Northern County of the Kingdom of Sein? This is almost the northernmost part of the continent."

Bist: "It's just the 'northernmost' in the eyes of humans, but not for us dwarves!"

Grocer: "Have you ever fought against orcs?"

"My father fought against orcs, but he later converted to Mozaism and moved to the Kingdom of Sen. Since then, our family has never seen those ugly and barbaric guys again!" Bister took a big sip of wine.

Gao Jianuo asked curiously: "How is the situation of the dwarves in the Kingdom of Sen?"

"Very good, hehe." Bister smiled. "You may not know that there is a saying in the Kingdom of Sen called 'Priests, Dwarves, Laymen'. As long as a dwarf converts to Mosa, his status is almost the same as that of a priest! After all, everyone knows that we are the main force to stop the orcs!"

"How did you end up in the South?"

“I almost circled halfway around the continent by boat!”

Everyone asked Bister many questions, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Gao Jianuo, while occasionally chatting, focused his attention on his own panel.
