Tangning blended in with the crowd, but unlike the others, she did not stare at the pile of meat. Instead, she carefully observed the corpses on the carriage. She was worried that someone might discover the secret of the bodies being tempered.
On the surface, the corpse seemed to be very solid. There were no signs of fracture or damage.
As long as there were no cracks, the stone-like corpses would not have a metallic luster. Without a metallic luster, the secret of being tempered would not be exposed.
After entering the city gate, a few fat merchants immediately came up to them. After some bargaining, the carriage filled with meat was led away by one of the merchants. A high-ranking warrior also had a few money bags in his hand. As for the corpse of the low-ranking warrior, no one asked about it from the beginning to the end.
Tangning blended in with the crowd as she slowly moved along.
At the entrance of an inn, a high-level warrior opened several money bags given by a merchant, revealing the shiny gold coins inside.
The warriors cheered.
Only then did the low-level mercenaries, who were on the verge of death, smile.
Seeing so many gold coins, the strong-willed Tangning couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions. With these gold coins, she could do many things that she couldn't before.
"I'm afraid there are at least three thousand?" The golden light dazzled Tangning's eyes. In a daze, she could see numerous secret martial arts manuals and magic books flying towards her. Just like him, the onlookers were also stunned. All they could see was a dazzling golden light.
Soon, the gold coins were divided among the warriors.
After the golden light dissipated, Tangning finally woke up from her hallucination. She lifted her head and looked at the high-ranking warrior, only to discover that his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Impulsiveness was the devil. Luckily, Tangning wasn't blinded by the golden light and didn't rush over to snatch the gold coins. Otherwise, these high-level warriors would have slaughtered all the civilians in front of them.
The warriors who had taken the gold coins dispersed in a hubbub. A few warriors even went into a brothel nearby.
Four exhausted mages walked into the inn with the help of the waiter. A few high-level warriors who were on high alert entered with them.
Opposite the inn was a magic supply store. Tangning sat down on the steps of the store as a few civilians followed her to sit down and discuss," The Night Moon Mercenaries have made quite a haul this time. A petrified beast, I heard it's a petrified beast king. Just the meat alone was sold for over 10,000 gold coins."”
" The harvest is not small," a purple-haired man in a hunter's suit said." But the losses are not small either. Didn't you see the carriages carrying the corpses?”
Following the purple-haired hunter's gaze, the few of them looked at the carriages together.
The carriage was being led into an empty courtyard by the waiter.
Another man in the same hunter suit sighed and said," It's good to be a mercenary, but it's too easy to die. Only when you become a high-level warrior can your safety be guaranteed.”
Seeing the carriage being led into the courtyard, the high-ranking warrior quickly ran into the inn. It seemed that he still had something to do.
Tangning did not join in the discussion.
He stood up, turned around, and walked into the magic supply store called " Source of Magic Power."
Standing behind the magic potion counter was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She had some freckles on her face, but her figure was extremely enchanting.
Tangning glared at her big chest and asked," Little sister, how do I buy this Magic Strengthening Potion?”
Under Tangning's stare, the little girl squirmed uneasily and replied," One gold coin for 10 bottles.”
Tangning's gaze followed the girl's twisting body as she swallowed hard," You bought a lot? I'm from Orfa's Weapon Shop. I want a large barrel of Mana Strengthening Potion.”
"Is it Orfa?" The girl couldn't stand Tangning's lecherous gaze, so she glared at her and said," I don't think you were the one who bought the potion from Orfa's weapon store.”
Tangning had indeed worked part-time at Orfa's weapons store before, so she wasn't worried at all." You're new, right?" I remember the one who used to sell potions here was a boy called Peter-"
" Yes, Peter's family had some problems." The girl nodded her head fiercely and said," I'm working here in his place. Yes, Mana Strengthening Potion. If you buy a lot, it'll cost 50 gold coins per barrel."”
Tangning took out a Magic Crystal Card and said," Okay, but you need to use a small barrel to fill the liquid. The smallest barrel."”
The Purple Star Reed was more than ten meters long, and ordinary wooden barrels could not soak it completely. Fortunately, in order to make it easier to soak long weapons such as wands, the magic supply store also prepared wooden barrels with small calibers and large barrels to make it easier to soak and make special weapons.
After working hard in the Radiant Continent for 4 years, Tangning had only managed to save up 300 gold coins. It was no wonder he couldn't control himself when he saw the 10,000 gold coins.
He spent 50 gold coins to buy a magic potion and 30 gold coins to rent a small carriage. Just like that, 80 gold coins were gone. This was his annual income.
After moving the Magic Stabilizing Potion into the carriage, Tangning sat in the front of the carriage and drove it out of the city gate.
The demonic horse dragged the carriage slowly on the road outside the city while Tangning hid inside the carriage.
Under the cover of the curtains, Tangning cautiously observed the wilderness outside the city with her binoculars. It was almost dusk and there were few people outside the city. There were a few pedestrians passing by, but no one noticed the carriage on the road.
Before night fell, Tangning finally arrived at the scene of the incident. Thank goodness, the two Red Cloud Rime and the eleven-rod Purple Star Reed were still standing in place.
He placed the wooden barrel on the ground and cut down two branches of the Red Cloud Rime Tree as stepping stones. Then, he placed the Purple Star Reed Rod into the wooden barrel.
Under the effect of the Magic Reinforcement Potion, the Purple Star Reed emitted a sizzling sound. When the sizzling sound stopped, he took out the reed.
After soaking in the potion, the color of the reed turned from purple-red to dark green. He carefully cut off the dark green part and put the remaining reed into the potion.
After repeating this cycle, the eleven reeds were cut into forty-five one-meter-long dark green gun barrels.
The Red Cloud Rime was too big, so he had to climb up to the Red Cloud Rime and choose a thick branch to saw it into sections. Before soaking it in the Magic Reinforcement Potion, he carved out a new firing pin with a round handle and a needle according to the prototype of the weapon in his imagination, or carved it into bullets according to the caliber of the Purple Star reed. Then, he soaked the firing pin and bullets in the Magic Reinforcement Potion.
Tangning, who had a hobby of micro-sculpting back on Earth, was naturally able to carve the firing pin. After a short while, he pulled out the black firing pin and bullets from the Magic Reinforcement Potion.
Unfortunately, the concentration of the potion gradually became thinner, and the time for the firing pin and bullet to soak in it became longer and longer. In the end, he threw an entire section into the wooden barrel. When he fished out the section of the tree, a whole day had passed. The two tempered giant trees had gradually recovered, but there were no signs of life on the trees.
Tangning hunted down two Wild Magical Boars and hid the reeds, firing pins, and bullets inside their corpses. She then drove the carriage towards Scorching Sun City.
The Wild Demonic Boar was a very unkempt animal. Its unpleasant smell could be smelled from far away. However, its hide was a very good material for making armor. Most hunters would stay away from it because of its unpleasant smell, so its hide could still be sold for a relatively good price.
The guard pinched his nose and flipped the Magical Boar over. Then, he quickly ran to the side and stretched out two fingers.
Two silver coins! The two Wild Magic Pigs actually cost 2 silver coins to enter the city. If it wasn't for the fact that the Magic Pigs still had some stock in their stomachs, Tangning would have abandoned them and left. How much could these two Magic Pigs be sold for?
No one was willing to eat the Demon Pig's meat. Only the Demon Pig's skin could be used to make armor. In other words, if one wanted to turn the Demon Pig into a commodity, they had to endure its unpleasant smell and skin it. The market price of a piece of Demon Pig's skin was two silver coins, which could be considered a good price.
After putting in a lot of effort to endure the horrible smell and skin the two Magic Pigs, they only earned 4 silver coins. Yet, the city guards wanted to extort 2 silver coins from them as entrance fees. This made Tangning feel so depressed that she wanted to ask about their family.
