"What!? Three...thirty thousand and six hundred silver coins?" After hearing the value that Murphy burst out, the Panda Wine Fairy stuttered even when she spoke. It kept muttering that it was over in her heart, then took out a gray cloth bag from the cloak and handed it to Murphy, and said, "Let me Old Chen see how much the things here are worth?"

When leaving the island, the elders gave it some silver coins. However, the panda people still maintained a primitive tribe life, and did not have so-called currency, but were very simple to barter. So after leaving the island, the few silver coins in the hands of the Panda Wine Fairy were almost spent. In the mouths of barbarians, the Panda Wine Fairy knew the existence of the spirits called "Burning Knife", and at the same time, they also knew that Athens has now become the most prosperous place in the entire southern plain.

This means we have to mention the second purpose of the Panda Wine Fairy.

First of all, pandas are not vegetarians, they are from the omnivorous family, so pandas are almost the same as humans in their dietary habits. In addition to their preference for strong liquor and bamboo, the main food of pandas is also some crops passed down from higher elves and fish on the beach. Don’t humans also eat bamboo shoots? So in terms of dietary habits alone, the gap between humans and pandas is not big.

Since you have come to the mainland, you have to find something to eat, but there are no fish on the mainland.

The crops in the fields are planted by others, and there are many things like mushrooms, wild vegetables, etc., but unfortunately I don’t know that they are poisonous and taste really bad.

This is like a kind of suffering for pandas who pay great attention to food and taste.

Grey-robed wizard Gandalf knew that he was the legendary son of nature, the distinguished guest of the higher elves, and the powerful panda wine fairy, but other humans and intelligent species may not know this. And even if you know this, can you succeed because you are the legendary panda wine fairy, and you can eat without paying for money?

Therefore, after traveling to the mainland, the panda wine fairy, who was quite shy, had to go on a day of hunting and rushing.

Since the elemental tide began, a large number of wild beasts in the mountains have mutated, and many large wild beasts that had previously hidden in the deep mountains have emerged. Although this is only a problem for ordinary people, for powerful existences like the Panda Wine Fairy, it is equivalent to food and silver coins delivered to the door! In such an era, in such an era where the primitive and not eroded by technology, there are many wild beasts living in large forests. If there is any comparison between the earth in modern times, it is the Great Northern Wilderness that has not been developed yet!

Once spring and summer are coming, everything will be revived, and you can just go to the woods and see a few hares and deer.

In this era.

There has not been a large-scale animal husbandry, which means that there is no large-scale pig farming like in the Middle Earth in the previous life, nor is there a large-scale grazing like in Western Europe. Although humans raise some chickens, ducks, geese, or a few goats, they are mostly limited to self-sufficiency. In this era, cattle are rarely slaughtered because the cattle play a great role during farming.

Although almost all steaks are included in the aristocratic meal recipes, the slaughtered beef cattle are all, and steaks are also high-end dishes in this era.

Even if it is a nobleman, the staple food he eats is just white bread.

This is the limitation of an era and the limitation of technological productivity on the world itself.

So, where do the meat people eat mainly come from?

hunt!

Professional hunter.

In this era, the meat brought by hunting and fishing and animal husbandry accounted for more than 60% of the total meat supply!

Based on this amazing proportion, you can see how rich the products were in this primitive era. Just like the Niloria River located in Athens, the fish supplied by the port just meets the entire meat demand in Athens. In summer and autumn, when fish squatting back, you can see ripples on the entire river.

This is completely different from the fact that there are almost no fish in a river in the previous life!

.............

Although the wild properties are abundant, they also mean danger to ordinary people, and this is even more so after the second elemental tide begins.

But the Panda Wine Fairy has no such concern. Those beasts that are very fierce in the eyes of mortals, even warriors, are just food delivered to their doors. So after coming to the mainland to start traveling, the Panda Wine Fairy has always lived a semi-hunter life. It uses the beasts it encounters as food, then peels off the fur on their bodies and sells them to passers-by smart creatures for money.

Then use money to buy spirits from all over the country.

This is the main process of life in the past few months after the Panda Wine Fairy came to the mainland.

After the second elemental tide began, a large number of wild beasts mutated, and they began to evolve like monsters. Even the Panda Wine Fairy had encountered some difficult beasts during the journey. These beasts were taller and more cunning. Even the Panda Wine Fairy had to deal with it to capture them.

But in these changing beasts, the Panda Wine Fairy also found something unique.

They were some thumb-sized stones, most of which were in the gallbladders of wild animals, while a small part was in their brains. The stones were pastel in color, and they looked a bit like gems, but they did not have the crystal clear luster of gems, but instead looked a little rough. There was a faint elemental energy inside the stone (relative to the Panda Wine Fairy).

Originally, it planned to sell these small stones to merchants with fur, but the merchants could not recognize what they were, and they were willing to buy them at the price of inferior gems. For a stone like this, they were willing to give it one or two silver coins.

At this price, even the Panda Wine Fairy, who is naturally simple, feels too bad.

So it collected all these stones and kept them for those who knew their usefulness and then sold them.

"Maybe the magicians are just the use of this thing, maybe they will give a more reasonable price."

This is the idea of ​​the Panda Wine Fairy, and it is another purpose for it to come to Athens. Because, from the barbarians, he learned that Athens are some people who cast magic (sacrificial sacrifices), and perhaps there are magicians who know the use of these stones. Since he came to the mainland to travel, even the Panda Wine Fairy, who had always lived a simple life before, began to understand the importance of silver coins.

Although, most of the functions are used to buy wine.

--------------

The bag handed over was just a small pocket for the Panda Wine Fairy, but for Murphy, it was already a bag of considerable size.

He opened the bag with some confusion, and when he saw it, he was shocked!

Fortunately, his cunning cultivation has not been revealed. He calmly handed the bag to the magician Meilin next to him, and then quietly winked him.

That's right!

It contains magic cores one by one, and there are probably hundreds of them!

Of course, the magic core was said in the previous era. For this era, the existence of the magic core has just appeared.

Except for those magicians who retain their heritage, no one else knows its value at all!

Although Murphy has always acquired such magic cores from other mercenaries, so far, the number of them has been acquired is only twenty or thirty, less than one-third of the bag!

"These stones seem to have some elemental energy. I happen to have a mage here. He may be able to estimate the value of this thing." Murphy picked up a dark red magic core the size of a peacock, and then handed the entire bag to the magician Merlin next to him.

The value of magic core is actually quite difficult to estimate in such an era!

Because this thing did not have a definite price before, and for the mages, the role of this thing is really too great!

The reason why he handed it to the magician Merlin instead of the gray-robed wizard Gandalf is because the latter is too straightforward. In contrast, the magician Merlin would seem to be more flexible. If the gray-robed wizard Gandalf quoted a price that was too fatal, then Murphy's intention would be to become a mirror and water moon. It would be a pity that such a first-class thug who was delivered to the door would not find a way to catch it.

Murphy would not naively think that this little debt alone could tie the powerful Panda Wine Fairy to the Athenian chariot.

There are some ways for him to win over this panda wine fairy, but the most urgent thing now is to leave it in Athens first. The whole world is surging, and if it is allowed to run to the territory of the high elves, it will not be easy to recruit it again.

Athens has the best spirits in the world!

As long as it is left here, Murphy is not worried that there is no way to recruit it!

.............

The magician Merlin obviously understood Murphy's eyes, but after seeing a whole bag of magic cores, his expression was a little dull.

But after all, he was a genius who had dealt with the noble council. Of course, he knew what Murphy was thinking now. He took up a magic core and put it under the sun for a long time, then reported a number.

"This thing seems to have some elemental power, and its value is about one hundred silver coins per!"

Grey-robed mage Gandalf said a moment after hearing this price, but he finally endured it. Obviously, he understood Murphy’s idea now. He is now on the Athenian front, and Murphy’s plan obviously also includes his interests. In the end, this very upright Grey-robed mage turned his head and pretended not to know anything.

"One hundred silver coins? So many!" The Panda Jiuxian, who didn't know the specific value of the magic core, looked surprised and said in a silly voice: "Will this stone be exchanged for a barrel of strong wine?"

"Fortunately, they didn't sell it to those profiteers. They were only willing to give me Lao Chen three silver coins!"

Speaking of this, the Panda Wine Fairy couldn't help but show a hint of indignation on her face. There were not many concepts in her mind about money, but after knowing that such a stone was worth an equal to a barrel of strong liquor, she still thought Murphy had given a fair price! A stone like this may have harvested several times a day during its travels, because when walking in the wilderness, it often encounters those mutant beasts that actively attack it. But soon it was a little embarrassed because the stones in this pocket were obviously not enough to repay the hotel's losses.

"It would be great if I didn't give the hotel...!"

"So many stones can be exchanged for at least dozens of barrels of spirits!"

When I thought of it, the Panda Wine Fairy couldn't help but feel a pity. If the tavern had not been demolished, I should be able to buy a lot of bars now?

"These stones are equivalent to 12,000 silver coins." Murphy looked at the panda wine fairy in front of him and smiled: "But the compensation from the hotel is 20,000 silver coins."

"I don't know if there is anything else on you, we will estimate it for you at a fair price."

Panda Jiuxian shook her head and said in a heavy voice: "No more. These things on me, Old Chen, are valuable."

there is none left?

What I'm waiting for is your words!

Murphy was delighted, but his face remained silent, and he slowly said, "No more?"

"That's going to be difficult."

"Look at this good tavern, this is what happened. If you can't get the losses, I'm afraid the boss's family will not have a livelihood."

Murphy paid attention to the expression of the Panda Wine Fairy and began to play the friendship card.

"Don't worry! I, Old Chen, will definitely compensate me if I broke other people's things!" Sure enough, before Murphy finished speaking, the Panda Wine Fairy slapped her chest and said in a muffled voice: "Just give me Old Chen some time, I can find a lot of such stones."

Magic core?

Murphy's thoughts changed and he immediately thought of some clever plans.

"Actually, there are other ways to compensate for the losses of the tavern." Murphy waved his hand and signaled to the messenger to bring a stool, then looked at the panda wine fairy in front of him, and said, "I am the governor of Athens. There have been many troublesome troubles recently. If you are willing to help me solve the problem, I can pay you a lot of compensation. Some of this money can be used to compensate the tavern, and the rest can be used to continue buying good wine."

"What's the matter?" Panda Jiuxian looked at Murphy with a rather suspicious look and asked.

Although the panda people are simple by nature, this is not stupid, and they will not do anything contrary to the ancient [earth teachings] they believe in. However, Murphy mentioned compensation and liquor, and the Panda Wine Fairy was already a little moved.

"Don't worry. It's not a bad thing." Murphy could certainly guess the idea of ​​the Panda Wine Fairy. He waved his hand to call a servant and said, "Recently, many evil underground creatures have emerged from the mountains near Athens."

"There is an underground creature called the Voyager, which has caused us a lot of trouble. They attacked caravans and villages, turning all creatures into food, which is very cruel and evil! As the lord of Athens, I need to protect the safety of my people. So I want to ask you to help me solve this problem."

"As long as you kill a velociraptor, I can give you a barrel of liquor, or a reward of one hundred silver coins."

"If you can catch a living velociraptor, I can give you three barrels of liquor, or three hundred silver coins."

"Of course, I'll send someone to help you."

When he heard that it was this commission, the Panda Wine Fairy's face also eased a lot. The underground creatures were extremely cruel, and most of them were dangerous creatures full of aggressiveness. This did not violate the ancient earth doctrine it believed in. But after thinking for a while, it looked at Murphy and asked in confusion: "Why should I catch the alive?"

"We are trying to tame these beasts. If we can succeed, we will no longer have to worry about those underground creatures in the future.

"No problem! Leave this to me, Lao Chen." Panda Wine Fairy patted her chest, opened her mouth and laughed: "However, I, Lao Chen, cannot exert her combat effectiveness without good wine. You have to prepare a few barrels of such strong liquor for me, Lao Chen first."

The fish is hooked!

Murphy nodded quietly and said, "This is no problem."

"But the money for this wine must be counted on your account. I can pay it for you first, but it must be deducted from your mission bounty."
