Chapter 4 [Burning dead people everywhere] ()

When Xia Yaleming walked into the store, there were no other customers in the store, only a thin old man sat behind the shelves. Although Xia Yaleming's clothes were very ragged, he was not discriminated against. The old man stood up enthusiastically and greeted him with a bright smile on his face, and a glittering light in his eyes. Such a smile almost carved the words "prodigal businessman" on his face.

"Dear guest, what do you need? We have a batch of high-quality tobacco that we just arrived, all of which were planted by real Zakutu people! Ah, depending on your age, you should not have any interest in tobacco... Ah, you look at your tall, strong, and powerful Kong Wu, you must be an excellent warrior. Well, we have the fine weapons made by the 'Thunder Hammer' here. What do you need? Is it a great sword or some armor? I guarantee that our goods are authentic from dwarf craftsmen, and there are absolutely no imitation!"

Thor's Hammer?

Come on.

Xia Leiming has been in Wildfire Town for so many years, so how can he not know the virtues of these profiteers?

The whole world knows that the weapons created by dwarf craftsmen are the best. Dwarfs believe in Thor, which makes almost half of the weapon shops on almost the entire continent named "Thor Hammer", claiming that they use the dwarf craftsmanship.

Xia Leiming believed that there must be high-quality weapons of real dwarf crafts on the black street, but those genuine products are very expensive. These profiteers would never take them out casually when facing a boy like him who was dressed in rags.

Seeing that Xia Leiming didn't say anything, the old man twisted his beard and squeezed out a smile of "men understand": "Maybe you need to buy some special medicines? Our store can have its own special pharmacist who can make any special medicines, especially the kind of thing that gets sleepy after taking it! It's really the best equipment for home travel, killing people and robbing people... Well, dear guests, what do you need?"

Xia Leiming has looked at everything about this store.

He first saw a dried sheepskin hanging on the store. It was a contract document. There were two signatures under the contract document. One of them was probably the mark of the merchant group affiliated to the store, and the other was the large mercenary group that now occupied the Wildfire Town.

This contract represents that the shop has signed a contract with the current occupier of Wildfire Town. While being protected by the mercenary group, it must also abide by the rules of Wildfire Town. Once something has been done to breach the contract, the injured can go to the protector of Wildfire Town to seek arbitration.

This is a "legal" identity.

This is something that must be clarified first, because... there are many black shops on the black streets!

There are no good people in Wildfire Town...hehe!

"I came in when I saw the purchase of cards outside." Xia Leiming spoke, his accent was in the local dialect near Wildfire Town.

The enthusiasm of the old profiteer immediately decreased a lot, but he was still very polite, which made Xia Leiming very useful. At least, if you don’t judge people by their appearance, you should look a little more professional.

"You are a local person by the accent." The old man smiled: "Are you a witch hunter?"

After hearing this question, Xia Leiming couldn't help but touch his fur coat full of holes and the fire fork on his waist. Perhaps some witch hunters would wear simpler clothes, but there was absolutely no witch hunter in this world who would use a fire fork to fight the fierce monsters with a fire fork...

Xia Ya blushed a little, but he still nodded with his teeth: "Yes."

The old man deliberately seemed to have not seen Xia Leiming's broken robe and fire fork. His eyes didn't even move at all: "Okay, then you are here to buy it? The request is on it. Do you have any questions?"

The purchase card is very clear.

"I'm looking for a lot of money to buy a baby monster

Requirements: Lion beast cub, characteristics, white hair.

Demand is unlimited.

Constructed price: five silver coins per piece.

The commission is valid for thirty days.”

"No doubt, if possible, let's sign the contract directly." Xia Leiming tried hard to pretend to be more sophisticated.

The old man looked at Xia Leiming's face carefully and sighed: "Young man, I hope you understand what you are doing. You can see that you are a martial arts practitioner, but... the lion beast is not an ordinary beast. Moreover, it is almost winter now, and it is difficult for monsters to store winter food in this season. What's more, any beast is extremely fierce when its cubs are threatened."

"I know what I'm doing. This is not the first time I've done this kind of thing." Xia Leiming tried hard to lift his chest: "But thank you for your reminder."

The old man returned to his calmness. He turned around and took out a contract from the drawer behind the shelves, threw it on the table in front of Xia Leiming, and looked at him: "Can you recognize the words? Do you need me to read it for you?"

"Need not."

Xia Leiming read the contract once, no problem.

"Sign your name below and your handprints." The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the young man: "What's your name?"

"Chaya." The young witch hunter answered vaguely, because he had always been a little shameful about the name, so he did not report his full name.

"Xia? Well, a strange name, what's your last name?" the old man asked.

Xia Leiming glanced at him without an answer.

The old man smiled slightly and did not continue to ask questions. Many of the people who were in Wildfire Town had wanted orders on their backs, and they did not register their full names or even their real names. It was not surprising.

"I need a little advance payment." Xia Leiming said his request with embarrassment.

Prepayment is very common in purchasing business on the street. Usually, one percent of the goods can be required to advance.

After all, it is generally difficult to get what you want to buy, and many of them need to take risks with your life.

Of course, in order to prevent some people from using this method to cheat money - after signing the contract, you get the advance money and run away, that's not possible!

If you dare to do this, you will be expelled by the occupiers of Wildfire Town, and you will be beaten hard and hanged at the worst.

Unless you never come to Wildfire Town.

Of course, if you die while completing the task, you don’t need to pay it back.

The old man readily arranged five copper plates on the table. Obviously, he was so sophisticated and saw Xia Leiming's embarrassment: "Young man, take it for a full meal. Only when you have enough food can you have the energy to work."

"Thank you, I'm already full." Xia Leiming quickly put away the copper plate and the contract. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help asking: "Why do some people ask for a lion beast cub? The fur of this kind of thing is not valuable, the meat is not delicious, and this low-level monster does not have a magic core."

"It seems you don't know anything about monsters." The old profiteer answered this question: "The cubs of lion beasts are all white in fur, and they will not shed hair until they become adults and turn fiery red. Alas... Recently, the nobles in the royal capital have a trend, thinking that the cubs of lion beasts are all white and cute, and many nobles like to buy them as pets to raise them... Haha, the nobles are all like this. They pay for money and then someone goes to work hard. This is very fair."

Xia Leiming stopped saying anything and was about to go out. The old man behind him added: "For your youth, I will tell you an important news. I heard that someone has seen a lion beast on a mountain north of Wildfire Town. Haha. I will show you a clear road so that you won't waste your time in the search process."

Xia Leiming did not look back, left a saying "Thank you", and then went out with his head held high.

In the shop, the old man sat back, lowered his head and took out an account book and recorded a few records.

At this time, a guy who had just finished working behind the store came out and smiled and said, "Sir, is there any business?"

"It's nothing, just a child who is ready to work hard to make money." The old profiteer raised his head and shook his head: "What a pity, a young life, I wish him good luck. I hope my five copper coins will not be wasted."

"You are always so kind!" The guy grinned while complimenting, revealing a yellow teeth: "Have you forgotten the saying circulating here: Dead people are buried everywhere in Wildfire Town."

Five copper plates were fully utilized by Chara Thunder.

He cut the price in the blacksmith shop for a long time, spent three copper plates to buy a rusty axe, and another copper plate to buy a piece of rye bread. The last copper plate was exchanged for a little cheapest bad wine. It was not because he was addicted to alcohol, but as an excellent hunter, he knew that in this cold season, he could keep his body warm when necessary.

Carrying an axe, carrying a dough cake and a water bag filled with wine, and still wearing the tattered wolf-skin robe and worn straw sandals, Xia Leiming walked out of Wildfire Town and headed north.
