Chapter 15 Hi Jack
Go north for five blocks and turn right down another unnamed alley.

Everything clears up.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

The noisy square is full of people, and the clean ground makes it hard to believe that this place is actually "Talek", which is a bit more lively than the town's avenue.

Vendors pushing their carts loudly, newsboys walking around barefoot, and foreign merchants wandering around in the dust.
Perhaps the weather is really good, and gentlemen in formal suits and d'Artagnan hats, and ladies in decent dresses with thick layers of powder on their faces can be seen in the square from time to time.

Yige heard that the sky of the "Evergreen Heart" of the capital is shrouded in smoke from factories all the year round, so every year, distinguished guests from the capital go to various places in the kingdom to enjoy better air and environment.

There are also dignitaries who have done this in several other big cities.

Look at the dozen or so carriages parked in the square, nearly half of them have intricate and exquisite family crests tattooed on them.

Among them, there may be many big names who came here to avoid urban pollution.

From this point of view, maybe the Nasio family's exile in "Tariek" is not all bad.

Iger laughed at himself, and walked straight to an inconspicuous shop in the corner of the square.

This is Saint Zemla Square, the commercial center of "Talek" and the most prosperous area.

And what he was going to was the only leather store in San Zemla Square that was willing to receive residents from the outskirts of the town.

"Hi Jack" leather shop.

"Welcome to Hi Jack!"

The old man named Jack looked at the visitor immediately after being reminded by the sound of the wind chimes, and immediately became less interested after seeing Ige.

"Yig, it's you, how many gray rabbit skins did you bring today?"

Yige looked at the hale and hearty old man in front of him, and was not annoyed by his casual attitude.

Jack Middleton is a "Tariek" legend.

When "Talek" was still a small village that did not deserve to have a record in the kingdom, he keenly discovered the advantages brought by the special geographical location here.

Started as a farmer, and finally became a well-known businessman in the town.

In addition to the "Hi Jack" store, it also owns a tannery on the east side of the city.

It can be said to be a well-deserved model for the common people.

More importantly, he is one of the rare merchants who does not severely undercut the price of the hides brought by the hunters.

Compared with other greedy leather factory owners in the east of the city, the average price of leather he gave was often one or even two coppers higher.

Neighbors in Leighton Street said it was because old Jack was running out of money.

But the big guy knew in his heart that in essence, Jack was one of the few good people in the town.

"Praise the great god of etiquette, I have harvested more than a few gray rabbits this time."

Yigger raised his hand and drew a rectangle in the air, then placed the fur in his other hand on the counter.

"Oh?" Jack looked at the fur that Igger put up, and became interested.

He put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck, and checked one by one.

"Let me look at Xiangyue Rabbit Skin, Xiang Yue Rabbit Skin."

"This is the silver moon wolf skin?!"

Jack stroked the azure blue fur on the counter with his hand, feeling the soft touch, and for a moment he couldn't put it down.

"Where did you get the silver moon wolf skin?" Jack raised his head and was about to ask, but was suddenly attracted by the soft orange light that suddenly appeared in midair.

The rectangular orange light was not dazzling, but it seemed to penetrate deeply into the bottom of his heart.

Instinct told him that this was a creation of the gods.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Yige was able to call for the silver moon wolf skin.

Father Earth, the man in front of me has actually become a servant of a god.

Jack took a deep look at Igger, and bowed respectfully to the divine emblem in the air.

He doesn't know what kind of god the god of etiquette is, but just by hearing the name, he knows that he is a god who attaches great importance to etiquette.

After maintaining the posture for a long time, Jack slowly stood up straight, and continued to check the fur under Iger's gaze.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't hide his shock when he saw the dozens of snow fox furs with excellent appearance.

Looking at the entire kingdom, the fur of the snow fox is considered precious. The coat is soft and thick, flexible and smooth, and it is also very strong against the cold.

And if you want to go to Daxue Mountain to hunt snow foxes, you need a hunting team composed of professional hunters of Huayin rank and above.

Otherwise, let alone hunting, surviving in Daxue Mountain for two days is not bad.

That alone already rules out the vast majority of hunters.

Even if you enter the Great Snow Mountain, if you are not lucky enough to miss the target for several days in a row, you will have to return in vain.

If the luck is even worse, even the Huayin rank powerhouse can hardly survive in a big snowstorm.

Not to mention that there are savage and ferocious trolls in the Daxue Mountains.

Therefore, the high-level adventurers and hunters of the "Kingdom of Spruit" would rather leave the border with their team to Delaware Forest, or even leave the Silva Continent to go to Yugo to open up wasteland, rather than waste time in the Snow Mountain group.

This also directly led to a rise in the price of snow fox fur.

Those who can afford snow fox fur coats are basically princes and nobles.

"A piece of Xiangyue Rabbit skin costs 10 coppers, and a silver moon wolf skin costs 16 coppers. The total here is 88 coppers."

"As for the snow fox fur."

"One for three silvers!" Jack hesitated a bit, and finally gritted his teeth and gave his offer.

"Wolf fur is 18 coppers, and snow fox fur is 3 silvers and 20 coppers." Ige didn't let go because of his inner affection for Jack.

Jack smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Ig, you think highly of me too much. If you want to eat 3 pieces of snow fox fur from you for 14 silver pieces, I will be hurt."

"This is 42 silver coins!"

"Now that the price of salt has risen, it will cost another sum of money just to ash and de-flesh such a good hide."

"The price of 3 silver really cannot be increased."

"Of course." Seeing Iger's uneasy expression, Jack couldn't help but look at the orange rectangle standing still in the air, and hurriedly added, "I can increase the price of the silver moon wolf skin."

"Just 20 coppers per piece, and the wolf skin and rabbit skin will count as 1 silver for you."

"Your big bundle is 43 silver in total, what do you think?"

Iger was quite satisfied with Jack's offer, which basically met his expectations.

"Then 43 silver."

Iger's words made Jack feel relieved, and the order was finally done.

He reached into the inside pocket of his suit and took out a light gray wallet.

".41, 42, 43."

"Come on, here are exactly 43 silver coins."

Yige picked up the silver coins that Jack put on the counter one by one, and put them into the empty money bag he specially prepared.

After confirming that the quantity was correct, he left the fur and nodded goodbye to Jack neatly.

Jack packed slowly, until he caught a glimpse of the rectangle in the air completely dissipating, then he let out a long sigh of relief and hummed a Northland tune.

He was in a very good mood.

You see, good people are rewarded after all. If you take care of those hunters on weekdays, good business will come to you.

In terms of the price of the snow fox fur, he really didn't take advantage of Yige.

He wouldn't be so short-sighted, just for a few silver coins to fight against Yige, a new priest.

The real benefit of the snow fox fur was not in terms of money at all.

He made a coat out of finished leather as a gift, even if it was the city lord's mansion of "Vasdok City", he would enter it.
