Zhou Chen and the others spent the night by the fire.
The next morning, Dave found Zhou Chen to discuss the wyvern corpse.
"Warrior who slew the wyvern, according to the laws of the Northern Region, you have the right to that wyvern corpse. What do you plan to do with it?"
"I plan to sell it."
Zhou Chen immediately replied.
"But I'm not familiar with the market here. Can I entrust you to help me deal with it?"
Zhou Chen was unfamiliar with the place and did not even know where the market was, so he had to find someone to help. Dave was the native that he was most familiar with and was also one that he trusted.
"I'm very willing to serve you!"
Dave immediately agreed.
"By the way, we still have a bear corpse."
Zhou Chen then thought of the large polar bear that was still buried in the snow.
Therefore, at noon, Zhou Chen, the young man, the tall girl, and Dave led a group of natives to a nearby city, with more than ten pack horses to move the corpses of the wyvern and the polar bear.
This city was named Snowy Peak City. According to Dave, it was because the city was adjacent to the highest mountain in the North.
Snowy Peak City was located on a plain at the foot of the mountain. It had convenient transportation routes and was closely connected to the economy of other cities. It was a good place to deal with the wyvern corpse.
"According to my estimation, this wyvern corpse can be sold for at least 100 gold coins, while this bear corpse can be sold for about five."
On the way, Dave gave Zhou Chen and the others the approximate price.
"Alright, I'll give you ten percent of whatever price it is sold at."
Zhou Chen had already learned about the purchasing power of gold coins in this place in the morning. Ordinary families earned about six to seven gold coins a year, and ten gold coins was already a good income.
"Praise the Holy Spirit! You're a generous warrior!"
Dave seemed to be very happy.
Because Cedar Town was not far from Snowy Peak City, they arrived at their destination three hours later.
Snowy Peak City was more than twenty times the size of Cedar Town. There was a tall stone wall outside, and there were armored guards guarding the high city gate. Dave talked with the guards for a while before the group was allowed entry.
After entering Snowy Peak City, Zhou Chen realized that this place was indeed much more prosperous than Cedar Town. The ground was paved with stone slabs, and the houses were arranged rather neatly. Moreover, most of them were three-story stone buildings, and it was not uncommon to see four or five stories.
At the center of the city, a tall and majestic ancient castle could be seen. According to Dave, that was the place where the City Lord of Snowy Peak City lived.
Dave quickly led the group to transport the wyvern corpse and the bear corpse to the market in Snowy Peak City. The bear corpse was quickly sold to a shop for five gold coins, whereas they had to wait for news from the city lord's castle for the wyvern corpse.
"The City Lord of Snowy Peak City is a noble mage. He will be interested in this wyvern corpse."
Dave said to Zhou Chen.
"I see..."
Zhou Chen nodded and asked him some questions about the classes.
It did not take long for Zhou Chen to learn about it. This world had many classes. Apart from the most basic mages and knights, there were also Warlocks who grasped the power of bloodlines, priests blessed by gods, and so on. For example, Dave was a middle-rank knight. The Holy Spirit he believed in was a widely followed faith in this area.
Zhou Chen and the others waited in the Snowy Peak City's market for more than half an hour before the city lord's castle sent someone over. After the person checked the condition of the wyvern's corpse, he began to bargain with Dave. In the end, he bought the wyvern for 112 gold coins. After deducting the business tax, Zhou Chen obtained 100 gold coins and gave ten gold coins to Dave and the other natives.
Zhou Chen had originally planned to give some to his two Survivor companions, but these two seemed to be rather prideful. They only agreed to share the profits from the polar bear's corpse and did not ask for a cent from the wyvern corpse. In the end, Zhou Chen obtained a gold coin from the polar bear and had 91 gold coins.
"With these gold coins, we should be able to live in this Snowy Peak City. It will be easy to pass this mission."
With money, Zhou Chen did not plan to return to Cedar Town. After all, the conditions there were incomparable to this city. Moreover, it had just been half destroyed by the fire-breathing wyvern.
"That's true. I see that this Snowy Peak City is orderly, prosperous, and calm. There's no problem spending the remaining time here."
The refined young man had strolled around the city while Zhou Chen had gone to sell the wyvern corpse. He had a high evaluation of this city and thought that it was a good place to stay. f𝑟𝒆ewe𝚋𝒏o𝐯el - 🅽🅽novel
"With the system's usual style, something will happen even if we hide in this city."
The tall girl poured cold water on them, indicating that they were thinking too simply.
"Nothing should happen. This city is so peaceful. At most, we will encounter a few thieves or unscrupulous merchants. Even if the system wants to cause trouble, it has to follow the rules."
The young man retorted.
"There are many things that can happen. For example, the city lord suddenly sending people to kill us, or a group of wyverns attacking this city, or a war breaking out."
The tall girl replied calmly.
"This... is indeed possible..."
Zhou Chen was a little speechless, but he felt that it was not completely unreasonable. Just like when he was warming himself by the fire in Dave's house, he had thought that everything was good, but he did not expect a wyvern to suddenly run over and burn the village.
"Let's just deal with it as it comes. Let's find the items and skills that the system says can be brought back to Planet Blue and strengthen ourselves first."
The refined young man also realized the tall girl's sense of crisis, but there was no particularly good way to evade it. They could only wait and see.
"Alright, I've asked Dave about this just now, and there is some progress."
Zhou Chen quickly led his two companions to a few key places.
The first was the Silver Frost Smithy in Snowy Peak City. According to Dave, this smithy was the best place to make weapons in the city. Even the knights under the City Lord had their weapons made here.
After Zhou Chen and the others arrived at this place, they realized that this Silver Frost Smithy occupied a large area. It did not look like a shop at all. At a glance, there might be a hundred blacksmiths inside.
They looked at the weapons sold in this store and realized that some of them were labeled by the system. In other words, they could be brought back to Planet Blue.
"How much is this sword worth?"
The tall girl had her eyes on an exquisite sword displayed in the store. This sword was labeled by the system as a mid bronze weapon and had holy light enchantment.
"Madam, your taste is really good. This sword is the best in our store. It's only 55 gold coins."
A middle-aged native responsible for welcoming customers smiled and replied.
