BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190 - 190, Bounty on Undead 1
The Great Sword Infantry carefully stood aside.
Fang Hao then opened the Book of Lords and found the blueprint for the Merchant Caravan Cart” in the creation list.
‘Merchant Caravan Cart: Wood 200, Hemp Rope 70, Leather 50, Iron to, Metal Parts 12.”
The caravan cart blueprint was obtained by Zhang Bin from last time’s wild boar clearing.
Fang Hao recorded it.
Production Quantity: 1.
Production.
toox Amplification Triggered, 101 Merchant Caravan Carts obtained.”
One cart after another appeared out of thin air, scattered around the vicinity. The merchant caravan cart was bigger and more stable than a flatbed cart, and there was a leather canopy above the wagon box.
It could carry more goods and provide shade from the sun and the rain.
Alright, load up the barrels of wine and dining utensils from the warehouse and we’ll set off soon.”
“Yes, sir.”
AU the Great Sword Infantry sprung into action, loading all the necessary items onto the carts.
Once everything was ready, the large convoy set off again, heading towards Pruell City.
Three hours later.
The caravan finally entered Pruell City.
The unfamiliar convoy and the attractive bunny girls and fox girl maids attracted a lot of attention.
People gathered on both sides of the road, whispering to each other.
“Little White, do you remember this road? From now on, you will be in charge of the stores here.” Fang Hao sat in a caravan, speaking to the fox-tailed Little White who stood beside him.
Little White was a maid with a business talent, alongside her were 10 rabbitgirl maids.
They were responsible for the store.
Tier 4 Great Sword Infantry was brought along for security.
After all, it’s a legitimate business, they needed people to guard if drunkards harassed the maids or if anyone caused trouble.
The defensive commander of Pruell City was only a Tier 5, assigning a Tier 4 as security should be enough.
I remembered, Master. Rest assured, I will not disappoint you.” Little White clenched her fist, making a promise.
“Good, I trust you.”
The convoy stopped in front of the store, and Fang Hao went to the Lord’s Mansion to handle the paperwork with the money box.
Upon paying, he received the deed to the place.
From then on, the store belonged to Fang Hao.
The store’s doors were opened, revealing the dusty floor and furniture inside.
After giving instructions, everyone started cleaning.
Fang Hao stood outside and there was no place for him to intervene. He was not very strong himself, as long as he didn’t add to the chaos, it was fine.
Right then, the tavern owner from across the street walked over.
“Did you really buy this place?” The owner came closer.
“Yes, from now on we are neighbors. Please take care of me.” Fang Hao smiled.
The owner once again sized up the young man. He was really wealthy, this shop cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and he bought it without a second thought.
He also brought a large group of people to clean it.
“What are you planning to do?”
“We’re opening a restaurant,” replied Fang Hao.
“Just food?” queried the owner.
“Ah, and some drinks, but mostly food.”
The owner shook her head when she heard this, whispering, “You won’t make much money that way. You could run a hotel, guests would eat at your place. How many people would come for food alone?”
These words were from the owner’s years of experience running a tavern.
She ran a tavern and sold some dishes to go with the drinks, but it would be
hard to make a living selling just food in this place.
Unless what you’re serving is so delicious that people couldn’t stand not to eat it for two days, just like alcoholics couldn’t live without alcohol, otherwise, it would be hard to break into the market.
“Well, let’s try it first. If it’s not working, I’ll sell daily necessities,” Fang Hao said nonchalantly.
The owner glared at him helplessly, wealthy people really are hard to deal with.
“Come on, sit at my place for a while. You can’t keep standing here, can you?”
The owner walked towards the tavern.
Her slim waist and round hips moved gently as she left.
It was hard not to take a second glance.
Fang Hao couldn’t stand there all the time, so he followed the owner into the tavern.
Sitting at the front desk, he suddenly noticed that the bounty on the wall had changed.
The quest to search for the ancient tomb has been replaced with a quest to find the undead gathering place in the north, and the reward amount has also been increased to 5,000 Gold Coins.
Seeing this quest, Fang Hao squinted.
Pruell City was three hours north, in the correct direction, you could find his territory.
“Damn.”
Indeed, damn. Those mercenaries must have lost their minds, claiming there are packs of undead in the north.” The owner was standing behind the counter muttering to herself.
“You didn’t believe them, but you still posted their bounty?” Fang Hao asked.
Ah! They paid for it, I couldn’t refuse the money, could I?” The owner poured a glass of beer and pushed it over.
“What kind of people are these mercenaries? What does it matter to them if there are undead in the north?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
“Who knows, they said there was an ancient tomb before, and this morning they changed it to the undead.” The owner complained.
If they didn’t pay a decent amount, she would have refused to post their quest.
The credibility was low, and it was causing the reputation of the tavern to decline.
“Are they staying here?”
“They rented a few rooms on the second floor, quite the rich folk, they eat and drink well when they arrive. The old man they’re protecting is obviously wealthy.”
The owner’s eyes were quite keen, she could see the ins and outs of what was happening.
“I want to post a bounty too, what’s the fee?” Fang Hao asked.
“Sure, it’s one gold coin for five days, and you can’t post it for less than five days. If the bounty is completed, the tavern will take 10% of the reward, but that’s after the bounty is completed.” The owner said while cleaning the table.
“Okay, then post ‘Looking for information on Swords of Absolution, too Gold
Coins per piece of information.'” Fang Hao took out 5 gold coins from his pocket, “Let’s start with 25 days.”
“Alright, you write it.”
“Will you write it for me? My handwriting is not good,” Fang Hao said.
The owner put down the cloth in her hand and stood in front of the notice
board, writing down the bounty posted by Fang Hao.
Thump!
The tavern door was pushed open roughly.
Six well-equipped mercenaries, escorting an old man, walked into the tavern.
The group was silent, only saying one sentence when they approached the
owner, Prepare lunch for seven people, send it to our room.”
“Alright, we’ll send it up when it’s ready.”
Without uttering another word, the group headed straight to the second floor.
“Mercenaries?” Fang Hao asked quietly after they left.
The owner nodded, and then started to prepare lunch for the mercenaries.
When they came in, Fang Hao got a good look at these mercenaries.
All six of them were Tier 6 or 7, quite high-ranking among humans.
Watching them go upstairs, Fang Hao’s expression darkened.
It seemed these people could not be left alone.
They must have discovered the skeletons in his territory, if they kept messing around, it would cause a lot of trouble for him.
After bidding the owner goodbye, he left the tavern.
