Half-elf Notebook

The old hunter stared at the woods where the girl disappeared, his eyes wide open and filled with horror.

Ina's magic power really frightened him. She was not the bronze-level magician he had imagined.

That's half a foot into the bronze rank!

Not to mention bringing a burden along, if the other party really has the strength to match him.

Neither of me could necessarily be a match for the half-elf girl.

"The little bastard runs so fast." The brown-haired young man cursed while suppressing the pain as he slung the mulberry wood bow over his body with difficulty.

Seeing the old hunter suddenly stood there in a daze, although he didn't know when, he had no choice but to walk forward.

"Uncle Korfis, why did you let the little bastard go? That's a whole roll of wolf skin." Olivier asked puzzledly while treating the wound.

No matter what, that’s at least three or four golden coins.

Even if it was divided equally, it would be enough for him to live happily in Lei Shi City for more than half a month.

Before he could even complain, Oriveton felt a pain in his abdomen and was kicked hard by the old hunter, causing him to roll backwards.

He lay on the ground like a curled up shrimp.

The old hunter didn't care about his nephew's wound at all, and roared at Olivier angrily:

"You little brat, you drank so much that only alcohol is left in your brain, right? Damn it, that's dark grey magic, do you know what you provoked? An upper bronze half-elf! She can kill even twenty of you!"

Olivier lay face down on the ground, trembling all over, unable to get up for a long time, perhaps because of the severe pain or the fear.

…………

Ina rode back to the trade road. The trade road between cities was very wide, accommodating two large carriages running side by side. It was completely different from the roads connecting villages.

For Lei Shi’s warm spring, it is actually the end of May, the end of spring and the summer solstice, and there is no shortage of caravans coming from far away on the road.

There are naturally many knowledgeable wandering merchants among the small caravans.

They quickly recognized the unusual animal skin that Ina was lying on.

It was obviously a roll of wolf skin, but it was as broad and thick as bear skin, the gray-blue fur was bright in color, the fur was as soft as mink fur, and there was almost no shedding on the visible surface.

Those who are ignorant are not surprised when they see it, but those who are knowledgeable are horrified.

Several wandering merchants kept stealing glances at the "prey" they were targeting, which was the skin of a blue-feathered forest wolf, a second-level magical beast.

"My Goddess, this is a great deal that has been delivered to our doorstep." Several businessmen couldn't help but think of the same thing. Their hearts were pounding.

If you can get it at a low price, then sell it.

One fur skin is enough to bring them more than one kingdom gold coin in profit, which allows them to visit one less city this year!

Give yourself a month-long vacation in winter and sit by the cozy fireplace while drinking hot rum.

Unfortunately, most of the wandering trader's assets have been exchanged from currency to goods.

This can prevent you from getting lost or robbed by bandits during a long journey, which would make you penniless.

For thieves, there are a lot of goods but they are not worth much money. Unless they are desperate, they don't want to risk a bounty to steal.

But the merchants' wallets are quite tight as a result.

Businessmen are also very self-aware.

Although everyone's heart was heated by the profits that seemed to be within reach, there were only a few people who stepped forward to inquire with a fluke mentality.

The others just tightened their grip on the reins, secretly cursing themselves for miscalculating and missing out on this deal.

It is really unrealistic to want to buy such a rare monster skin with twenty or thirty silver coins.

Those who are reluctant to discuss something leave, and those who are interested come forward to discuss it in detail.

But the unprovoked approach of the three businessmen caught Ina's attention, and she glanced at the three of them vigilantly.

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, powerful Miss Hunter, we just want to do business and buy the fur on your horse's back at a price that satisfies both parties."

A businessman with a two-horse cart took off his hat and greeted Ina.

He was obviously the richest of the three merchants and could afford two sturdy draft horses.

So that you don't have to walk with the staggering draft animals in the mud and loess.

This is the best proof of a successful wandering businessman.

"Buy furs? Mine?" Ina was a little confused. She had never seen a businessman doing business on the road.

"Yes, beautiful lady, if it is possible, we would like to discuss this in detail."

"Then how much do you plan to pay?" Seeing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions.

Ina reined in the horse lightly and went straight to the point. As long as the price was right, there was no difference between selling it here and in the city.

"One gold coin and five silver li, how about that, beautiful lady?"

The businessman who started the conversation spoke without hesitation.

Ina was stunned. She didn't expect the businessman to make such a direct offer.

According to her understanding, being a businessman is a profession that makes money by being shrewd, having good words, and careful identification.

This is especially true for wandering traders.

In order to expand the profit between commodity recycling and selling.

They always identify the value of goods over and over again.

Then use your knowledge and eloquence to achieve the lowest purchase price or the highest transaction price for this transaction.

The white-haired girl was surprised at the merchant's recklessness.

"One gold coin for ten silver dollars." A merchant in a gray jacket raised the price.

"One gold coin for thirty silver francs!" Another merchant raised the price.

"Two gold coins and sixteen silver dollars." The original merchant raised the price again. His voice was calm and he seemed to be at ease.

Two gold coins plus sixteen silver coins were equivalent to half a year's salary for a city worker.

Although it was slightly different from the price he had in mind, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for ordinary civilians and wandering merchants.

As a participant in this transaction and an important vested interest, she naturally has the right to pursue her own interests.

Ina hopes to get rid of this fur, but it has to be a fair transaction. If it is sold at a low price, she doesn't mind giving up the deal and selling it again in the city.

Suddenly Ina had a bold guess.

"They know the price of this pelt."

Ina's heart sank at first. He had learned about business, taxation, tax rates, and even foreign trade between countries, the relationship between currency and the power between kingdoms, etc. in school.

But she did not have the knowledge and trading skills that a businessman should have, and she did not know the buying and selling prices of goods among the traveling merchants.

So, at this moment she was helpless and could only wait and see what would happen.

Just as Ina was thinking for a moment.

"Three gold coins!" The merchant in the gray jacket raised his voice slightly and shouted out his new price, but his expression was uncertain.

He hesitated.

In contrast, the other two businessmen were not in a hurry to continue bidding.

Just as Ina thought, there were quite a few second-level monster skins circulating on the market.

Even though the three people have different perspectives, insights, and experiences.

But as relatively successful businessmen, they already had a price in mind when they first saw this second-level blue-feathered forest wolf fur.
