Chapter 93 Smelly Skeleton
Chapter 93: The Beautiful Skeleton
In Hanover, Hughes, the owner of the Red Beech Tavern, is nothing more than an unknown little citizen. Apart from past merchants and warcraft hunters, few people know his name.
However, just overnight, Hughes's name resounded throughout Hanover. Whether it was a merchant, a hunter, a civilian or aristocrat, they all rushed to find out where Hughes was and how to make friends with Hughes.
The reason is very simple, because Hughes suddenly stopped being a tavern owner and turned into a skin buyer.
There is nothing special about a skin purchaser. The special thing is that Hughes offers a purchase price of ten times higher than the normal price, and all of them are exchanged for gold. A saber-toothed tiger's skin can usually sell 1,000 gold coins, about 14 kilograms of gold, but Hughes offers 150 kilograms of gold, and it costs as much as it can.
Where can I find such a good business? It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Therefore, Hanover City was excited. No matter who it is, anyone with monster skins would run to Hughes' newly opened animal skin purchase station in the city.
A large number of monster hunters flocked to him, and the peak season for monster trading in Hanover City arrived one month early.
"No, no, your rabit curly rabbit is just a second-level monster. I saw the notice at the door. Our store purchased a large number of animal skins from level 5 and above. If it is lower than level 5, you don't have to give it away for free." In the most prosperous area of Central Street in Hanover City, Hughes was sweating profusely in the newly opened animal skin purchase station.
Hughes felt like he was dreaming. A few days ago, he was a small owner of a tavern and earned less than a few silver coins every day, which was just enough to maintain daily expenses. But suddenly, several strangers in the hotel asked him to help buy a large amount of monster skins, and the agency fee was 10%.
Hughes was also a Warcraft Hunter when he was young. He knew the quality and market conditions of Warcraft leather, so he immediately agreed.
But Seus never expected that the customers actually transported several tons of gold, asking him to increase the purchase price ten times, with only one goal, to buy all the monster skins in the entire Hanover City.
Hughes finally felt the feeling of being smashed by a pure gold pie falling from the sky. It turned out to be so happy!
On the first day, because the news had not spread, Hughes only received three level 5 magic skins. But the situation was different the next day. Before Hughes opened the store, the seller who came to sell the goods surrounded the acquisition station. In the past day, not only did he purchase eleven level 5 magic skins, but he also purchased two level 6 magic skins.
However, Xius's backstage boss was still not satisfied, so he asked him to increase his publicity efforts to try to receive the skins of level 7 and 8 monsters.
When Seus heard this, his ears were numb. Level 7 and 8 monsters, it only appeared in several years!
In the second floor box of a tavern opposite the animal skin acquisition station, Ray, Kuva, Brent and Hoover were sitting by the window, pretending to drink wine while observing the situation in the acquisition station.
It has been two days and the progress is still going well. The first batch of animal skins have been sent to the abandoned land. Deya was very satisfied with seeing them.
Ju Deya estimated that if the success rate of these animal skins is only 30%, it can create a set of inducing scrolls, and the water diversion capacity will reach 600 cubic meters per second, which can form a majestic river within abandonment.
Kuwa has no grandpa, and she has now regarded Lei as the only person she can trust, so wherever Lei goes, Kuwa will go there.
Under Kuva's guidance, Hoover made great progress. In just two or three days, Hoover was already proficient in beauty and makeup. Her current dressing was as good as the girls in Hanover.
"Sister Kuva, what is this for?" Hoover fiddled with a pair of small scissors in his hand.
"Sister Hoover, this is for trimming nails. Girls' nails should not be too long, otherwise they will be considered a symbol of rudeness and barbarity. Moreover, a lot of dirt will appear in the gaps in the nails, which is so ugly." The two of them have become familiar with each other and have begun to look at the sisters, but this sister is thousands of years older than her sister.
Hoover understood the use of scissors, immediately stretched out his slender left hand and used scissors to trim the nails on it.
However, Hoover's nails were harder than iron. Not only did they not be cut, but they broke the nail clipper.
Hoover frowned, and suddenly a move with his right hand, the God of Death scythe appeared in the air. With a "click", the knife fell, and a long nail was finally pulled down.
"Sister, that's not the case." Kuva hurriedly stopped Hoover from cutting another nail: "Girls should be gentle and not move too extensively. We usually use very small things, and only farmers use sickles."
Hoover was very obedient and immediately put away his sickle, dragged his cheek with one hand, and blinked at the passing pedestrians: "Sister Kuva, is that true?"
"Yes, yes, yes, sister is so smart." Kuva clapped her hands repeatedly.
Lei felt incredible when he saw it. The powerful skeleton lord actually bowed to a little human girl, and he was crazy about making himself look like a human beauty.
This skeleton lord is absolutely extraordinary. Could it be that she got some instructions from the King Sith, or that she was a human beauty in her previous life and she has not forgotten it yet?
After looking out the window for a while, Hoover suddenly pointed at a lady passing by and said, "What are the uses of those shiny things? They are on their necks and ears. Can they be eaten? Or have magic effects?"
Kuwa finally couldn't help laughing: "Sister, that's not magical equipment, it can't be eaten, it's just decorations. Girls among humans like to wear necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc."
"Why should you wear these things? Doesn't it affect your activity?" Hoover still didn't understand.
"Wearing jewelry is naturally for beauty. Three-point appearance and seven-point makeup. Whether a person is beautiful or not is very important to wear some jewelry."
"But you don't have it. Are you an ugly monster?"
"The druids often transform, and it will be inconvenient to wear jewelry." Kuva looked a little embarrassed: "In addition, our family is very poor and we don't have the money to buy jewelry."
"Can jewelry be bought too? Where to buy it? How many kilograms of gold is needed?" In recent days, Hoover has become interested in the buying and selling relationship in the human world. She was very surprised that the inconspicuous yellow metal that abandoned the world can actually do so many things in the human world.
Kuva only gave the store a piece of gold that was as big as a finger, and Hoover got several beautiful sets of clothes. It was so beautiful that he didn't need to snatch it with force.
"Let's go buy jewelry." Hoover thought for a while, then suddenly picked up the money pocket on the table, pulled Kuva and walked out: "How many pieces of jewelry can you buy for this gold?"
Hoover and Kuva left, and Ray's ears were quiet: "Brent, have you ever encountered such a woman when you were a human?" Brent was a black warrior and he retained human memories.
"Yes, and it's more troublesome than that." Brent answered truthfully: "When I was a general, I had a beautiful wife, a lover, and a couple of children. At that time, it seemed that they were the whole of my life. I fought and made money desperately, just to make their lives better."
"Why is this happening? If their existence threatens you or affects your actions, will you take care of them?" Human women are really troublesome, and Lei can't figure out how human men survived.
"Yes, I would rather die for them." Brent fell into deep memories: "In fact, the reason I died was to save them. But I didn't do it. The moment I closed my eyes, I saw the enemy chop off my wife's head. So I betrayed my soul to the Lord of Darkness and became a black warrior."
"Isn't this stupid?" It doesn't exist in the law of survival of undead creatures, and it is incomprehensible.
"No, this is not stupid, but responsibility." Brent spoke to Lei in a very serious tone for the first time: "The difference between humans and undead creatures is not that humans are flesh and blood, but that humans have rich emotions. When we do things, we only consider whether it is right or wrong, whether it is beneficial or not. Humans consider much more than ours. They use moral constraints, laws, and emotions to restrain themselves, and only one purpose is responsibility. A person lives in the world and must be responsible for everything they do. Only in this way can they feel at ease when they die."
"Constraint?" Lei still didn't understand: "With so many constraints, isn't life without freedom?"
"On the contrary, restraining oneself is precisely for greater freedom. Only when everyone acts within certain rules can it not hinder others' freedom, and others cannot hinder their own freedom. In the abandoned land, why do two undead creatures who don't know each other start fighting together? It's just because I don't kill you, you will kill me, because we have no sense of security. But it's different in the human world, and killing people at will is not allowed. If you don't kill me, I will be safe, and if I don't kill you, you will be safe."
Brent pondered for a while and said, "Master, the reason why I am willing to follow you is not because of the King's Scepter, but because I think everything you do is for the welfare of our undead creatures. Although you often kill, you are forbidden to kill each other in your territory. This is the rule, it is the bondage, and the safety of the skeletons!"
"So that's how it is!" Lei fell into deep thought.
