Blue Sword

The battle is over.

Most of the snow monsters were killed, and their bodies lay all over the ground. Only a few escaped, but the mercenaries had no time to chase them.

They are stepping up their efforts to harvest their own spiritual materials to avoid giving the other side an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Andrea waved to call a mercenary and asked:

"Can you tell clearly which ones are our trophies and which ones are theirs?"

"It's clear." The mercenary was obviously relieved that the battle was over and said easily, "The bodies of the snow monsters they captured had neat red line wounds (the effect caused by the melting knife), which are easy to distinguish. .”

"Well, what's the approximate proportion of loot on both sides?" Andrea frowned.

"3 to 7." the mercenary replied.

As for who is three and who is seven, it is self-evident.

Andrea let the mercenary leave and sighed sadly.

Herman was silent beside him. He knew that Andrea asked this question not because he was afraid of getting the trophies from both sides mixed up, but because he wanted to see if there was any chance of fishing in troubled waters.

It turned out that no, the other party wanted to take away 70% of the loot. How could he not be worried?

After packing up all the spiritual materials, everyone continued to move forward.

Heman quietly fell behind the team and walked towards the people of Cang Qing Sword.

After he expressed his intention to come, the girls were all surprised. Buy materials?

That's not impossible...Asker pondered for a moment, then motioned for Nora and Medea to talk to him.

What a loss! Nora thought to herself.

The so-called business negotiation is a process of constantly testing the other party's bid and bottom line. We directly dispatched Medea, the mind-reading weapon, so how can we talk about it?

I'm afraid that the conversation will make the other party even pawn off their underwear.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show an expression of pity.

Herman:…………

Obviously, the blond nobleman also realized this, and an ugly expression gradually appeared on his gloomy face.

"Well, now that everyone knows, let's not waste time." Medea sneered and narrowed her eyes to look at Herman, "I know your psychological bottom line, each serving of snow monster fat is 340 silver marks; I also know that your demand gap is huge, so it is imperative to obtain the materials we have."

"And from the beginning, I have been very clear about your captain's malicious thoughts towards us." She crossed her arms and showed a cold smile like a cat catching a mouse, "So our price has been made clear."

"340 silver marks, not a penny less."

Heman's expression changed several times, and he said with difficulty:

"I have to discuss this with Andrea."

"Medea..." After Herman left, Nora pulled her arm worriedly, "Will you push them too hard?"

"Their enemies have a large number of frost-sequence extraordinary beings, so they are in urgent need of frost-sequence spiritual materials in the near future to make corresponding cold-resistant extraordinary items." Medea said with a chuckle, "If we don't take this opportunity to hit them, I will He is not worthy of being called a psychic."

Nora was speechless.

Herman found Andrea over there. When he mentioned this matter, Andrea almost jumped up:

"340 marks?! Why don't they grab it?"

"The mind-taker," He-Man said.

Andrea understood immediately, and his expression became as pale as an eggplant beaten by frost.

When you meet the other party who can read your mind when negotiating a sale, any bargaining tactics will be meaningless - the highest price you can afford and your determination to buy are all exposed to the other party's ability and can be seen at a glance.

What a miserable word.

"What if we don't buy it?" Andrea's eyes twitched.

"They know we will definitely buy it." Herman reminded him again that the other party can read minds.

"You shouldn't be allowed to go." Andrea said sadly. "We should find a mercenary who knows nothing and is only responsible for transmitting messages from a distance to avoid face-to-face negotiations and having the other party's mind read."

"Just like the Normans did to the Hanseatic League," Hermann said.

"Is there any extraordinary ability that can erase the memory of the other party?" Andrea wondered.

"Yes." Herman said, "Kill them, the dead have no memory."

"Are you serious?" Andrea was shocked.

"Of course not," Herman said, "Evaluate it carefully, we probably can't beat them."

"No way." Andrea laughed out loud, "It's one thing to think about it, and it's another thing to think about it. The number of our mercenary group is ten times theirs, and they are all carefully selected. Elite. If you say that my commanding ability is not as good as his, I believe it, but the people under me can’t defeat him?"

Herman was silent. In fact, he had no accurate evidence, just some intuition.

All in all, let’s put this matter aside for the time being... Although the money for the Iron Cross Mercenary Group has basically been settled, Andrea still holds on to some unrealistic hopes and plans to delay it to see if there is any chance. .

For example, if the Cangqing Sword was in danger later in the fight, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group would come to the rescue and do them a huge favor.

Or maybe when you get to the back, you encounter some other extraordinary creature whose spiritual material happens to be what Cang Qing Sword wants.

All in all, find a reason to lower the price of Cangqing Sword.

Everyone continued to move forward, and it was quite safe along the way. It seemed that all the snow monsters nearby had been killed in the battle just now.

Andrea used the giant sword as a crutch and walked forward in the snow, mumbling something.

Herman, who was standing next to him, could clearly hear what he was muttering, "Why don't we get some monsters?"

Herman:………………

Just stop dreaming and get your money ready.

"Hidliba?" Asik asked Hidrifa from behind in the Blue Sword team, "How is your potion digested?"

"About one-sixth," Hildrifa replied.

"Why is there still one sixth?" Ask expressed surprise. Wasn't there a quarter left last time? How long do you plan to digest this mere frost I? A potion of this level would be completely digested if a player spent two days grinding monsters all night long!

Seeing Asik's unkind expression, Hidliba also flinched a little, turned around quietly and tried to escape.

"Stop," Ask said.

Sidrifa stopped obediently.

"Do you know why you are asked to work hard to digest the potion?" Ask asked.

Hidliefa shook her head repeatedly.

"There is a weapon in this mountain, and we must get it." Ask said.

"What weapon?" Hidrifa immediately became interested.

"Have you ever heard of Beryl's Ax?" Asker said, "It's also called the Ax of the North Wind."

"This North Wind Ax you are talking about, is it powerful?" Hidrifa asked.

"Awesome." Asik replied.

"That's great!" The simple-minded Hidliba immediately jumped for joy.

"The prerequisite for getting that battle ax is that you must have the 'Frost' and 'Giant' potion sequences." Asker said, "The North Wind Ax is extremely cold and heavy. Only people with frost abilities can endure its low temperature. , only those with giant blood abilities can lift it."

"Then I'll work on my digestion quickly and try to take the Giant I potion as soon as possible!" Sidrifa quickly expressed her determination.

Seeing Hidrifa regain her enthusiasm, Asik finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, in addition to the two necessary sequences, if you want to pull out the North Wind Ax, you must also pass its character test, which is the so-called judgment of the compatibility of the weapon and its owner.

This is also the reason why Asik has never told Sidlifa about this matter - if you accept the test of character with a strong purpose, it may be self-defeating.

However, judging from Sidlifa's stupid and crude thinking, it should probably suit the axe's appetite.
