'Whaa..'
'how did you do it?'
In the harbor people crowded places. Intrigued by the form of a hundred-year-old deer monster captured by one small child.
'Are you really a child?'
'Are you also a monster?'
Many questions were heard in the ears that did not need to be answered directly by Xernathan.
Usually, this kind of monster hunting is done by some adults and even that is limited to the age and size of the monsters they will hunt.
During this time that is often obtained by groups of hunters from the village is a fish monster the size of adults in their fifties to hundreds of years.
That is because it does not have too much risk to harm them, too, because the way that needs to be done to hunt water monsters is to spear the fish monster's body and then pull it to the mainland together and killed after the monster's body is on land.
The most dangerous part of hunting monsters like this is actually getting into the forest of Syclla. If a person or a group intends only to hunt water monsters even though it does not rule out the possibility they can meet land monsters in the Syclla death forest.
As for capturing land monsters such as rabbit monsters or buffalo monsters they usually require dozens of people who are at least in the crossbow, the swords and camping gear and logistics in each operation took several days to complete each hunt.
Another way is done by Xernathan who thinks of many strategies to conquer the monsters who became his opponent, assisted with various tricks he mastered from the experience in his first life.

A middle-aged man with a shrivelled body frowned when he saw the true incident. When one of his men reported there was a monster that had just arrived around the harbor.
'It is impossible for a small child from a remote island like this to do so' The middle-aged man was aghast looking towards the pieces of deer monsters before him.
Seeing a child who was maxed out turned out to have a very small body and like there was no strength in him made the fat man difficult to believe.
The man seemed to have found another child who could do the same with Xernathan at a very young age.
But he did not expect after seeing directly the form of the child.
After dispelling his shock the man immediately carried out his true intention of meeting the little monster hunter.
"Hey.kok.." The middle-aged man called out to Xernathan who had previously been in the spotlight of many people at the place.
"Yes sir what's wrong?" Xernathan raised an eyebrow, feeling unfamiliar with the person's face.
"My name is Daniel.."
"Sir Daniel my name is Xernathan.." Xernathan nodded his head once.
"No need for pleasantries, I know you're going to this harbor to sell your hunted monsters. Can you name the price?"
Xernathan looks to scratch his head.
"If you see your facial expression, I assume you don't really understand the price.."
Without prior permission and without further ado, this Daniel examined the overall condition of each piece of deer monster owned by Xernathan.
Daniel held his chin looking as if he was thinking.
Xernathan raised an eyebrow looking at Daniel and put his suspicions.
"What if I buy at a reasonable price so there won't be any more long negotiations between us"
"I'll buy this part of the monster's body with twenty gold pieces." Daniel smiled broadly as he mentioned the numbers.
The reaction of the people around them is the same, namely shock. With that many gold pieces Xernathan can buy two cows or even buy a unit of motorbike by selling only one part of the deer body.
On the island of Cyclops motor is a very luxurious and very rare item. During this time there were only no more than ten motorcycles located on the entire island of Cyclops. To buy another motorbike takes more than five months and the price is quite expensive, costing tens of gold pieces.
Xernathan had a different reaction to the reaction of the people who swarmed him at the port. Xernathan could only gulp when he heard the price Daniel mentioned, but not because he thought the piece of gold was a tempting price offer for him, but it was surprising because he thought Daniel lowered the price very far from the actual price but the fat man instead said that he gave a decent price.
The price of each monster gem was equivalent to or at least slightly more expensive than the age of the monster, depending on the type of monster.
While the whole body and other complete organs have a price of half of the age of the monster also depends on the type and efficacy of the monster itself.
There is always a price exception for some organs or limbs of monsters that are in higher value such as horns, fangs, gems or poison.
Currently the body of the deer monster Daniel was bargaining with was a monster over a hundred years old then it should have a price of about thirty-five to forty gold pieces. Without including the legs, head or horns and fangs of deer.
Because in the body area of deer, there are most valuable organs such as the heart, liver, bile, and others. The flesh and skin were also the largest number in the body area, so the body was intact with the organ parts in the deer monster at the highest price after the deer monster gem.
If the whole monster. Then at least the price obtained was sixty-five pieces of gold including horns and fangs, except for the monster jewels.
"I understand the price and usefulness of each body of this monster. Mr. Daniel I'm sorry, I'm not going to sell this deer body for as low as you mentioned." Xernathan refused for the real reason.
The people who swarmed Xernathan were astonished. Most of them in that place were ordinary people who had never hunted and did not know the price of a monster.
They just know what Daniel mentioned earlier is a lot of numbers. Moreover, knowing Xernathan did not need to share the pieces with anyone other than the farmers who had previously promised to be rewarded.
Because Xernathan hunted the deer monster alone not with a group.
Xernathan shakes. "I'll sell this whole thing anyway." The little boy continued his words. Then shaking his hand drove away the flies that flew over the corpse of his monster.
Xernathan, who had a lot of experience in business negotiations long enough in his first life, made Xernathan think, to prefer to keep the monster's body long in his house until there are others who want to buy at a reasonable price rather than having to sell with the person in front of him at a price that is too low.
