Chapter 71: Bremen City

The caravan members who reacted looked at each other, and no one could speak for a while.

No one expected that the half-grown boy who looked like he was going to a big city to rely on rich relatives would be a mage.

And judging from the spells Gao De just cast, it was clearly not just those "immature apprentices" who could only cast a Mage Hand to pour water.

"You guys check the injuries of Kailuo and Kuli." Finally, the caravan leader spoke and dismissed everyone.

And he walked toward Gao De, first thanking him: "Master Mage, thank you for your action."

"Since we are traveling together, taking care of each other is what we should do." Gao De, who had just taken action, said reservedly.

People traveling together should help each other, this is the default rule, and it will not be an exception because he is a mage.

"Master Mage, according to convention, the corpse of the Burrowing Worm will be your trophy." The caravan leader's attitude was unusually respectful.

"I can't take it away, and I'm too lazy to deal with it. How about selling it to you cheaply? The price difference is your deserved reward." Gao De looked at the huge corpse of the Burrowing Worm, thought for a while, and said this.

"Mr. Mage, just call me He Xi," the leader He Xi nodded, "Your proposal is naturally something I could only wish for."

"The value of the corpse of a 0-Circle leyline creature is generally between 20-25 gold, and the specific value depends on the parts on its body that have value."

"If it is an edible leyline creature, the value will go up another level."

"But the meat of the Burrowing Worm is sour and rotten and cannot be eaten. The only thing of value is the armor on its body and the acid gland in its body."

Speaking of this, Jose showed a lucky expression, "Under normal circumstances, when the Burrowing Worm encounters danger, it will spray the acid in the acid gland."

"With the corrosiveness of the acid, unless a mage takes action, otherwise we ordinary people will all suffer."

"Fortunately, this time it fell to the ground, and it was killed before it could even spray the acid."

Gao De had to sigh again at his own short-sightedness.

As a mage, his understanding of leyline creatures was not as good as Jose, who was an ordinary person.

Jose continued: "We are not professionals and cannot handle the corpse of the Burrowing Worm and decompose useful materials, so we can only pull the corpse of the Burrowing Worm to the shop in the city to sell."

"The acquisition price given by the shop is generally half of its value."

"Let's assume the value of the Burrowing Worm corpse is 22 gold coins, maybe a little less, maybe a little more, the specific value depends on the market, but the gap generally won't exceed 2 gold coins."

"Calculated this way, the price that the shop can give for this Burrowing Worm corpse is about 11 gold coins."

Gao De nodded slightly, knowing that everything Jose said was true and he didn't deceive him.

The shop's acquisition price is directly cut in half, which looks very "black" at first glance, but in fact, it is very reasonable.

When acquiring non-mass-produced items like leyline creature corpses, cutting the acquisition price in half is a basic principle.

Because acquisition has risks.

Although the corpse of a leyline creature is valuable, it only counts as money if it is sold.

Non-mass-produced items mean they are not rigid demand products, meaning there are not necessarily rigid demand buyers.

Although it is valuable, the merchant cannot guarantee when it can be sold.

If it is not sold for one day, it will occupy the merchant's working capital for one day.

So without a 50% profit, the merchant will absolutely not do it.

To sell quickly, you must endure the pain and deal with it at a low price.

"As long as 6 gold coins, the whole thing is yours." Gao De laughed.

"Killing this Burrowing Worm is not my credit alone, and you also have people injured. Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to pull the Burrowing Worm corpse back. This is your deserved reward." He explained.

Jose looked at Gao De and said sincerely: "Thank you for your generosity."

The attack of the Burrowing Worm was a small episode in this journey.

The two drivers who were swept away by the Burrowing Worm's tail suffered a bit, and their bones were broken. It seems they will have to rest for a long time.

As for Gao De, it was a pure harvest.

Gold coins +6.

And 【Burrowing Worm】 +1.

Source:

0-Circle — Burrowing Worm (1/7). Because it was too smooth, he even looked forward to encountering one or two more Burrowing Worms on the road.

Facts have proved that the official road is indeed relatively safe.

There was only this one accident along the way.

One day later, at noon on the second day.

The trees gradually became sparse, and traces of human activities could be seen one after another.

After arriving here, it is basically leaving the forest, the tense atmosphere of the team finally relaxed, everyone became active, started talking and laughing, and envisioned the scene of reuniting with their families.

Large pieces of fields gradually appeared on both sides of the road.

These are the villages and towns around Bremen City.

There were farmers working in the fields, and when they saw the caravan passing by on the official road, they glanced at it instinctively.

Then seeing the Burrowing Worm corpse carried on the carriage, they all showed expressions of awe.

The official road gradually became wider and more lively.

After walking for a long time, the caravan carrying the Burrowing Worm corpse finally approached the destination of this trip:

Bremen City.

This largest city in the Bremen region is located next to the largest lake in the Bremen region, "Deep Flow Lake."

With Deep Flow Lake as the axis, the water system extends in all directions, and most cities in the Bremen development area can be reached.

Water transport is the most convenient means of transportation.

It is precisely because of this excellent geographical location that Bremen City has become the largest city in the Bremen region.

By comparison, the backwardness and poverty of Hogen City, which has no waterways, is reasonable.

Under the afternoon sun, you can see the lake shining with gold, just like fish scales.

The huge Bremen City stands by the lake.

The city wall is towering, built of ancient gray stone, and the top of the wall is full of scattered towers and magic crystal lamps.

The city gate is majestic, carved with complex runes.

"Arrived!" Cheers came from the caravan.

"Go, enter the city!" The leader Jose laughed heartily.

Seeing Bremen City right in front of him, Gao De jumped off the carriage.

Gelu, who was driving, was startled and looked at Gao De incomprehensibly, "Thank you for taking care of us all the way."

"You are not entering the city with us?" Gelu was stunned.

"No." Gao De waved his hand.

Entering the city with so many people, and in the case of carrying a Burrowing Worm corpse on the carriage, it is easy to attract attention, which is not Gao De's plan.

Not to mention that there are many people and eyes, and he showed the 【Fire Arrow】 spell yesterday.

When you go out, you must have a defensive heart for others.

In order to avoid possible trouble as much as possible, Gao De chose the safest way to enter the city.

He wanted to wait for the caravan to enter the city, and then enter the city alone.

Gao De walked very decisively.

Watching his back leave, everyone just sighed, knowing that having an intersection with an existence like a mage was a coincidence.

Gao De was just an unusual passerby to them in the end.

Since they parted, they didn't think about it anymore.

Under the gaze of many civilians at the city gate, the caravan slowly drove into Bremen City.
