Chapter 102 Trading

After enjoying the sumptuous dishes, the four of them were full and full.

It happened that the Kobold troops had returned, bringing back seven people besides the goods.

These seven people survived, four of them were members of the Four Star Grass Mercenary Group, and the other three were members of the caravan.

The members of Four Star Grass were very ashamed when they saw the group leader, and stood aside obediently without saying a word.

Because this is a mercenary group that has just been established, these people just joined. Therefore, out of distrust of the leader and the pressure of Ultra Dilong, he made a wrong choice. Now that I was rescued here, I regret it very much.

As for the members of the three caravans, they hugged their leaders and cried loudly, and told them that a money horse ran away in a panic, and the goods on them would definitely not be found.

Matru was heartbroken to death, but she still pretended not to care and comforted them, saying that it would be good for some people to come back.

"So, what's your plan next?" Jia Zhengjin asked after Matru finished counting the goods after they met the survivors.

"Master Keen, thank you for your hospitality!" said Phyllis, the head of the group, "Although our four-star grass mercenary group has lost troops, there are only seven people left. But we will still carry out the task resolutely and escort the caravan back to Beit Empire! This is the first mission of our mercenary group, we must complete it with all our strength!"

"Ambition, very good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded in praise.

"Master Keen! From our standpoint, we cannot make any statement on your upcoming battle with Bright City." Phyllis is a mercenary of Bright City after all, "I can only wish you good luck!"

"Haha! Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart." Jia Zhengjin waved his hand and looked at Matru, "Old horse!"

"Master Keen, I am Matru, not an old horse!" Matru protested.

"Good old horse!" Jia Zhengjin nodded and said, "When are you going to leave?"

"Of course I hope that the sooner the better!" Matru sighed, "but now the money and horses bought at a high price before departure are almost killed by Ultradragon, and the manpower is not enough! So before departure, you must spend A sum of money to hire manpower and replenish the amount of horses. I wonder if Master Keen can give me some villagers to help fight the goods?"

"The villagers can't do it!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head, "Why don't I rent you some kobolds? Don't look at them because they are small, but they are very strong! And their combat effectiveness is not weak. They can be used as bodyguards on the road when they are armed!"

"Kobolds?" Matru thought of the heavily armed armored kobolds, and his eyes sparkled. "Okay, okay! Lord Keen, what's the deal with this kobold?"

"Each kobold costs 5 gold coins per day. You need to pay a month's deposit in advance. You don't need to pay for the kobold's death in battle, but you need to return all the equipment and weapons to me!" Jia Zhengjin said after thinking for a while.

"Oh my god! Master Keen, you are too dark~~" Matru raised her hands and said on her back, "Goddess of Fairness, I will definitely blame you!"

"I don't trust her, what are you afraid of?" Jia Zhengjin laughed.

"..." Matru was speechless, thought for a while and said, "Master Keen, how about 5 gold coins per month for each kobold? Other conditions are fine!"

"Damn! Are you even darker than me?" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly shook his head, "It's impossible! In this way, 3 gold coins a day, a discounted price!"

"The goddess of fairness will shed tears!" Matru argued, "How about three gold coins in five days? This is already worrying for me!"

"Pull it a few more times and it won't hurt!" Jia Zhengjin said, "2 gold coins per day, can't be lower! If you hire more than 20, I'll give you a 10% discount!"

"No, no, no! Goddesses of Fairness will shake their heads." Matru said hastily, "Finally give in, one gold coin per day! I will hire 20 kobolds, and Master Keen will give me a 50% discount!"

"You are delusional!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly said,

"One gold coin per day is fine, but if you hire 20 kobolds, I can only give you a 20% discount!"

"Goddess of Fairness..."

"Tell me about the Fairy Goddess again, and I'll scold her for meddling in her own business!"

"Um~~ Master Keen, you can't blaspheme!" Matru's face was full of black lines, "Then, you can give me a 30% discount, right? If not, I won't rent it!"

"Deal!" The two finally negotiated a price, and Matru leased 20 kobold soldiers, all of whom were in full iron armor and held iron spears.

"They're all warriors, and they seem a little unstable. Do you want to rent another 20 kobold crossbowmen?" Jia Zhengjin sold.

"Forget it! That's enough for now!" Matru was already heartbroken to death, so of course it was impossible to ask for more.

Jia Zhengjin laughed, but he didn't care about it at all. Bargaining with him is just for fun. In fact, it is not impossible to let the kobolds escort him back for free. Anyway, these kobolds are very cheap to hire. And there is no cannon fodder for IQ, and there will be no heartache after death.

What he was thinking about now was whether there was any problem with these kobolds staying away from their lairs. After leaving, do they still count as the upper limit of the nest?

After renting a kobold, the next step is to find a way to buy some new money horses to carry goods. So Matru turned his attention to Jia Zhengjin again: "Lord Keen, is there anyone here who knows how to tame ordinary horses or pony horses, or even make any kind of vehicle? Even a carriage is fine!"

"There is such a person in front of you," Jia Zhengjin pointed to himself, "and mine is even more advanced!"

"Oh? What kind of advanced method?" Matruh immediately became interested.

"I can use the few money horses you have ready-made to train them into magical vehicles with space capabilities! Such a money horse can carry the same amount of cargo as the previous five to ten money horses! But this method The relative cost is relatively high, and you need to pay me 500 gold coins every time you help you cultivate a space-type money horse like this!"

"500 gold coins!! The Goddess of Fairness will howl loudly!" Matru shook her head vigorously, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes! I can help you tame ordinary penny horses, but each penny horse sells for 10 gold coins!" Jia Zhengjin raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

"My God! Master Keen, you should change your career to become a businessman!" Matru's eyes widened. "In the Guangming City Horse Market, the most expensive horse is only 5 gold coins!"

"Then you can go back to Guangming City and buy a horse and then come back!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.

"You are so good at doing business!" Matru struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then I bought fifteen ordinary money horses, can I deliver them now?"

"Fifteen horses? The goods will arrive tomorrow morning." Jia Zhengjin said, "Why don't you all stay here tonight and have a good rest."

"Alright!" Matru thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After arranging the people in the few simple and empty houses that the craftsmen had just built, Jia Zhengjin called Wolf and Buddy: "Take the troops, let's go out and grab the money!"
