Chapter 45 Settlement

Galken's previous joke came true.

He really deserves to be rich today.

Just one treasure chest alone contained an estimated wealth of nearly five hundred gold coins, not counting the two sets of equipment of the 'Dark Iron Dwarves'.

But I guess those two sets of equipment won’t be affordable.

The reason is that the special body shape of dwarves makes the equipment unable to be used by people of other races, cannot be worn by adults, and is too bulky for children.

As for the dwarves who sold it to Ironforge? That is already tantamount to provoking trouble.

After all, the 'Bronzebeard Tribe' over at Ironforge and the 'Dark Iron Dwarves' over at Blackstone Mountain are sworn enemies of the same clan, so how could they be so fond of things from both sides?

Selling minerals is fine, but if the equipment is sold directly, doesn't it mean that one party's forging technology is not as good as the other party's?

Therefore, these two sets of 'Dark Iron Dwarf' equipment can only end up being melted into metal ingots, which cannot be sold for a few gold coins at all.

…

At this time, after Kewen's valuation was completed, Galken opened the treasure box in Tager's arms.

Everyone peeked inside and saw that the things inside were similar, including black iron ingots, gems associated with various minerals, and a small amount of nugget gold.

However, the second box contains no equipment, so it contains more metal ingots than the previous box.

Ke Wen took a quick look, calculated the result based on the volume, and said to everyone with a smile: "The value of this box is pretty good, it should exceed 800 gold coins."

"Eight hundred!?"

Galken cheered, quickly looked down at his hands, and then quickly looked at Tager's fingers.

This time, he quickly gave the result: "Then add it all up! Isn't there one thousand three hundred gold coins!? If five people share it, emm..."

While Ke Wen couldn't help but laugh, Solomon VII swallowed his saliva and said: "Everyone should be able to share about two hundred and sixty! God! I haven't had so much pocket money since I was a child."

Solomon VII unknowingly staged a 'Versailles' event.

This made the three of Galken feel a little depressed, and they all glared at each other angrily.

However, they quickly changed their mood. After all, everyone had become rich recently, so they no longer cared about Solomon VII's arrogant words about pocket money.

Bang! Bang!

Galken re-closed the two treasure chests, and then said: "Nana, put it away first. Little brother Solomon, let's go back to the town. After eating, you follow us to Stormwind City. We will sell the loot and then divide the money." .”

"Well..." Solomon VII said hesitantly: "I should be able to find buyers for these trophies in the town..."

"Don't bother." Natalie suddenly interjected: "There are dwarves from Ironforge in Stormwind City. Didn't you say that those dwarves really want this kind of 'black iron ingot'? Let's go directly to those dwarves. , it should be able to be sold at a high price.”

"That's right!" Galken didn't think much about it. He nodded and smiled: "And there are gems and gold in it. We also have to go to the bank in Stormwind City to change money, so we will go to Stormwind City together later."

After all, Solomon VII was still young and tender-faced, so he did not propose anything for him to find a buyer, so he missed an opportunity to make a profit.

Faced with Galken's urging, he had no choice but to think no more and turned the ship's bow back to Lakeside Town.

More than half an hour later, everyone disembarked again at the pier and were taken directly to the Government Affairs Office by Solomon VII.

The old mayor may be a little presbyopic. When everyone entered the office, he was holding a piece of parchment far away and squinting to take a closer look.

After seeing everyone, the old mayor couldn't help but put down the parchment and said, "So fast? And you are all clean. What? Failed?"

"Of course it was successful!" Solomon VII took out the necklace from his pocket and stepped forward: "Have you forgotten? There is also Master Quinn in the team."

"Mage Quinn?"

The old mayor was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Ke Wen was also a major participant in the original riot.

His expression became enlightened. After taking the necklace, he put it away and said, "That's right. I forgot that you still have a mage. Then, I would like to thank you, son, and settle the fees for the task entrustment to them."

Solomon VII wanted to say something, but the old mayor did not give him a chance to interrupt. He looked at Galken and continued: "Boy, I keep my word. If you want to do anything in my town in the future, If you have any problems, just come to me."

"Thank you, Mr. Mayor." Galken smiled and bowed slightly, stroking his chest and saluting.

The old mayor waved his hand: "Okay, that's it. You and my secretary go and collect the bounty."

"Father!"

Solomon VII finally found the opportunity to speak, and he immediately told what had happened before.

The old mayor was more patient this time. After listening to the story, he said with slight surprise: "Really? You actually cleaned up the fishmen on the other side of the lake?"

"Yes sir." Galken smiled and said: "Although we have not received a commission, we also want to make some insignificant contribution to the stability of 'Lakeside Town'."

"Hypocrisy." The old mayor sneered and stretched out his hand to point Garken, and then said: "Okay, for the operation to eliminate the murlocs, I will give you a new task commission. There are more than 400 murlocs, right?"

Solomon VII nodded quickly and confirmed: "Yes, father, just a little more!"

"Yes." The old mayor nodded and said, "Have you collected the strongest scales on the fish-men?"

Solomon VII shook his head: "No, but we got the treasure chest."

"That's my team's own extra gain!" The old mayor yelled at his son: "What? Are you still thinking of letting me embezzle?"

"No, no, no, father, I didn't mean that!" Solomon VII quickly defended.

"Okay, shut up first."

The old mayor waved his hands as a sign of expulsion, then looked at the four of Ke Wen and said: "I apologize to you on behalf of this kid. Don't get me wrong. With his stupid mind, he can't think of the trick of 'corrupting your gains'" .”

Without waiting for anyone to respond, the old mayor continued: "Let's get back to the matter of killing the mermaids. Because you didn't collect the scales, according to the rules, the bounty I paid you can only be halved."

"There are more than four hundred fishmen. I'll give you four hundred and fifty fish. One gold coin for every ten fish, and then reduce it by half... This is so hard to calculate... Forget it, I'll change it to five hundred fish for you. People, so the reward for the mission is twenty-five gold coins, Secretary! Stop standing there and take them to get the money."

"Father...can I speak?" Solomon VII asked depressedly.

The old mayor frowned: "Why are you so long-winded?" Say what you want to say quickly! "

This time, Solomon VII did not give the old mayor a chance to interrupt. He quickly told him that he had received one-fifth of the harvest and wanted to take leave to go to Stormwind City.

After hearing this, the old mayor was stunned again.

He looked at the four people of Ke Wen in disbelief, and couldn't help but feel greatly surprised.

Shaking his head "tsk tsk tsk", the old mayor looked at the four people of Ke Wen and said: "How strange that there are adventurers like you who send money out? Should I praise you for following the rules, or should I laugh at you for being stupid... …”

Showing a smile in front of everyone for the first time, the old mayor waved his hands to his son in a good mood: "Go away, go away, I approved your leave, go to Stormwind City with them to have a good day, and come back tomorrow. "

"Really!?" Solomon VII was very happy: "Thank you so much, father!"

"Hehehehe..."

The old mayor smiled like a fox and said again: "Of course, if you want to go out and have fun, there are conditions."

"What conditions?" Solomon VII asked innocently, still overjoyed.

"hehe……"

The old mayor continued to laugh twice, and then said: "Don't you get more than two hundred gold coins this time? So the reward for their team's mission will be deducted directly from your money."

Completely dumbfounded.

Solomon VII was extremely happy and sad, and his whole body was as stiff as a statue.

The old mayor didn't give his son a chance to say more. He immediately stood up and chased him away: "Okay! Don't disturb me from handling official business here. Get out of here!"

With that said, the old mayor walked out of his desk, pinched the back of Solomon VII's neck, and pushed him out of the office.

After Kewen and others said their goodbyes and followed them out, the old mayor immediately pushed his hand with a smile and closed the office door with a bang.

There was even a soft 'click' sound inside. It was obvious that the door was locked from the inside.

Solomon VII came back to his senses because of this, and couldn't help but mouth: "Father..."

The call started but ended suddenly.

Solomon VII knew his father's character, so he knew that it would be useless for him to shout, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, accepting this boring loss.

But he quickly thought about it. Even if the commission came from his share of the loot, he could still pick up nearly two hundred gold coins for nothing.

This money is enough for him to go to Stormwind City and spend a lot of money.

Therefore, Solomon VII took a deep breath to calm down, and then smiled at Kewen and others: "Sorry, everyone is laughing. Let's go. First, go to the hotel to try the 'spotted sunfish', and then I will bring you You go to the blacksmith shop in the town and then we set off to Stormwind City."

Galken patted Solomon VII's shoulder comfortingly, grinned silently, and said nothing more.

No matter how immature Solomon VII was, he was still an aristocrat who grew up in a good education, so he saw the teasing meaning in Galken's smile.

This made Solomon VII smile even more bitterly, and he had to work hard as a tour guide to divert everyone's attention...
