Unlike his savvy peers, who have a strong flair for business, Rickan is not a proper merchant, and while he is equally fond of shiny jewelry, he is more of an 'adventurer' than a 'merchant'.

As a wanderer with a name in the Thieves' Guild, Rykan didn't care much about how much money trade could bring him, and many times he would spend months in the same city, not only to restock and rest, but also to take light jobs in the Thieves' Guild in that city.

He possessed great strength, and with his superior powers, he already had the qualifications to become a community elder compared to his weaker kinds.

But he didn't, because he felt that he could make more money, and that there weren't many of his own people in a messy but cohesive community who could make as much money as he did—because of their rodent appearance and jealousy of their business talents, many human caravans would not accept a rat merchant into their caravan.

With his supernatural powers, Rykan feels very young, even though he is thirty years old this year!

He also has channels in the royal capital, after all, the thieves guild he named at the beginning was a thief guild in the royal capital, although later because the president ran away with people who shouldn't be messed with, the guild was also disbanded, but as a transcendent wanderer, he still has a lot of ways.

Just like this time, he found a 'buyer' with ease.

Unlike before, Rykan took this trade very seriously, as he had already planned to take the young people of his community to migrate to the Grim Wind Territory - since meeting the black dragon!

The black-marketeer in a black cloak pulled out a cork for an alchemical potion, sniffed it, and frowned.

"The quality of this shipment is not very good. The black marketeer said earnestly after putting the cork back on.

Rykan sighed, he also knew that this was the case, if the quality of this alchemy potion was good, that alchemist would not be so poor.

"Count the time, the day to clean the sewers is almost up, right?" Rickan said knowingly.

"Shh

The black marketeer closed the crate and patted it, "I want these potions, but the price is lower." ”

Rickan remained silent and asked, "How much?"

The black marketeer pretended to groan, and silently stretched out five fingers: "How about this number?"

"It's low. Rykan said in his deep, hoarse voice.

He used a cart of goods and a carriage to exchange for the alchemy potion, how could fifty gold coins be enough?

It took a lot of money to move some of the young people of the community to the Sorrowful Wind Territory, although he did not pay for it alone, and the young people could eat grass roots and tree bark, but children and women could not eat these.

He needed to make more money this time, and if it was only fifty gold coins, he wouldn't even be able to earn ten gold coins this time.

Because of the mage's experiments, there are many monsters living in the sewers in this city, and they need to be cleaned up regularly, and Rickan, who once begged for a living in the city, knows very well that the day of clean-up is very close, so he will exchange a cart of goods and a carriage for the [Corrosive Elixir] of this wooden box.

“...... Seventy?"

The 'old friend's abruptly inflated price made Rykan's eyes widen suddenly, and a little uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

"What do you mean! what happened in Greenland?" he asked hurriedly.

Feeling uneasy, Rickan was surprised to see his 'old friend', "You don't know?"

Rickan scratched his claws and said tentatively, "Is it because of the 'Black Dragon Duke'?"

"No, no, no, it's not because of him!" But as soon as the words fell, the black marketeer hesitated a little, "No, maybe it has something to do with him, or maybe it doesn't...... Anyway, there have been some problems with Greenland lately, and His Majesty has personally inquired about the 'sewers'......"

Before he could finish speaking, the black marketeer stopped talking and shook his head at Rickan, "Rickan, what if...... Forget it, you'd better not get involved in these things, the contradictions between the royal family and the nobility are getting bigger and bigger, this is an opportunity, but it is more likely to die. As an old friend, I can only warn you that it is best not to get involved in these things, it is a matter between the royal family and the nobility, we little people are just reptiles in the stinky ditch on the side of the road, even if we lose our lives, we will get nothing - because the nobility has never been philanthropists!"

"If you could, I would like you to leave Greenland now...... Although this is also unlikely. ”

Rickan looked at his 'old friend' in shock, it was the first time he had seen him so serious.

“...... Dewey, what's going on in Greenland? I want you to tell me the truth. Rykan asked with a sigh.

'Du Wei' was silent for a long time, and sighed: "That Duke of Black Dragon is here, and there is a suspected conflict between the royal family and the nobles, and the 'Grand Duke of Sorrowful Wind' that is rumored in the market is talking about that one's father, but he died of illness ten months ago, and that Duke inherited the title and the Sad Wind Collar and became the new 'Grand Duke of Sad Wind'." ”

'Grand Duke'? Isn't this a title reserved for the rulers of the principality?

Wait a minute!

"Rekan, if you're thinking about 'the kingdom doesn't have vassals,' then you're right. That 'Grand Duke of the Sad Wind' is not the real Grand Duke, but is just a title given by people because of the strength of the territory. A year ago, there was such news circulating in the 'underground' of Greenland, 'The Duke of Sorrow is dying, and the nobles will go to divide the Sorrowful Wind Territory', not only the territory and wealth, but also the basic strength of the Sorrowful Wind Territory - 'Knights'!"

"The Tempest Leader does not have a formed knighthood, but under the leadership of that legendary duke, even if there is no knighthood, their combat power is enough to crush most of the lord's army. It used to be almost a well-known thing, but you weren't in Greenland during that time, so you didn't know it. ”

Du Wei patted Rickan on the shoulder, "The former Sorrowful Wind Leader was already so powerful, but now the Sorrowful Wind Leader has become even stronger, although there is one less 'Holy in the World', but the overall strength has increased a lot. The conflict between the royal family and the nobility is not a matter of a day or two, and in the past His Majesty would not bother with the 'sewer cleaning' thing, but now he suddenly cares about this 'dirty business', so if you can leave Greench now, then it is better to leave tomorrow. That's all I can say, take care!"

After saying that, Du Wei picked up the wooden box and walked out of the small dilapidated house in the dark alley.

Rykan sat in the room, hesitating.

He had the alchemist's contact details, and had promised the alchemist that if there was a sales of these alchemical potions in Greenland, he would be introduced to him.

But now these things kept echoing in his mind, and the troubles of Greenland had left him in deep thought.

It's not that he didn't listen to Du Wei's advice, it's just that he needs money!

The community in Greench needed help, and the community in Ogvico was also crowded and needed to be relocated, so he needed money.

I don't have much interest in the dirt and discord between the royal family and the aristocracy, but this is the easiest time to make money, and if you want to make money, you have to seize the opportunity.

Determined to make up his mind, Rykan ran out of the dilapidated house and didn't care about the stagnant water on the ground.

He's decided to bring that alchemist over and add a way to make money to the Greenlandy community, and then take a few of the guys in the community to the Adventurers' Guild to see if he can get the task of 'cleaning up the sewers'.

Although Greenland's sewers are dangerous and not suitable for their rat people, as a wanderer who has begged for a living here, Rickan can be said to know the layout of the sewers well, and if you bring a few good guys who are familiar with the layout of the sewers, and shout in the guild, many adventurers will be willing to team up with them.

Although you will step into this troubled water, you will also be able to make more money!
