My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 19 – Preparation For?
The next morning Claude was as usual doing –-day work, cleaning the house, sweeping the yard, burning dry grass and taking breakfast, and waiting for Tanhill to wake up from his sleep.
Along with Claude finished preparing Tanhill food out of his room.
“Oh, breakfast is ready it turns” Tanhill immediately joined Claude and started eating his breakfast.
“How are you doing now, son? What do you feel?”
“My condition is good – is fine uncle, instead I feel stronger and I can't wait to go back to the forest and try to use my strength” Claude replied with an excited face.
“But unfortunately today, you did not allow to go to jungle”
“Hah why uncle? Just yesterday you allowed me why now you're banning me again” Claude grumbled not to accept his uncle's remark.
“This is also the result of your actions yesterday the day after, see once you are released, you act a lot, go challenge Poison Stinger do you not love your life? Still lucky you can still go home” replied fiercely Tanhill.
“I'm sorry uncle” Claude looked down “Alright, I won't do much, I promise to go home when afternoon arrives, and won't go too far into the hutam, and won't be looking for any more trouble, so please allow me to go to the forest huh uncle” Claude cuba.
“No, once I say no yes no” replied Tanhill firmly “Today you will accompany me walking – roads in the city, we have to sell some pills for some money” pieces
“Yes uncle” replied Claude lethargic.
Claude didn't argue with his uncle anymore, because he knew that if Tanhilll had made this expression, his decision couldn't be changed.
Claude doesn't understand why Tanhill's uncle forbade him from going into the forest, though Claude confesses to being wrong for the day after tomorrow but he also gets a very good harvest, which is equivalent to what Claude has bet.
Claude knew that he had raised his own realm, and that it was necessary for the person who raised his realm, to try to expend all his might, to measure the extent of the strength of the ascension.
But now Claude who is in the spirit of – his spirit wants to try his limits, instead told to accompany his uncle walking – streets in the city.
“But uncle, street – street in the city ..”
“Sst silent !!!” Tanhill immediately cut off Claude's words.
Claude quiet.
Bringing Tanhill to the city is not the first time for Claude, even too often Claude invited Tanhill. Therefore Claude knew what would happen later in the city.
A tight bargaining scene appeared in Claude's mind. Is his own uncle Tanhill and a drugstore merchant, they discuss the price deal for pills – pills made by Tanhill, and during that process Claude was always struck by god-level boredom where he just sat in a corner of the room not understanding what the old men were talking about.
Until some time later Claude saw the two shaking hands, Tanhill's uncle gave several tens of jade bottles containing pills to him, while the merchant gave a bag of gold coins.
In Grand Middle Earth the buying and selling process between merchants and buyers is done using three types of currencies namely bronze, silver and gold coins.
One silver coin was worth a hundred bronze coins, as well as one gold coin was worth a hundred silver coins.
For example, food stalls have aunt Wad used to sell his food for 10 bronze coins, while for restaurants in the city they will usually sell their food between 20 to 50 bronze coins, and especially for Wild Beast meat can sometimes reach several gold coins depending on the quality.
As for lodging, Behemoth City provides some lodging with the cheapest cost is 50 bronze coins depending on the quality of the inn, the rent is also getting higher.
So if you hit the average cost of living in Behemoth City this requires at least 1 silver coin per day. That was true for the merchants or adventurers who came to Behemoth City, whereas for the natives it was certainly not that high.
As for the commodity pills and weapons, they had their own prices, which were arguably very expensive, pills were usually sold in batches or one jade bottle with the cheapest price reaching 10 silver coins.
As for weapons if the weapon was made of ordinary iron materials, it usually ranged between 1 – 2 silver but if the weapon material was made of Wild Beast usually the cheapest price could reach 50 silver coins.
“Thank you for the food, well let's get ready we leave now”
“Iya patiently uncle first, I have to clear this bowl – bowl first”
Claude immediately cleaned up his – bowl.
Moments later these two pairs of uncles and nephews were in a pill shop where Tanhill used to sell his – pill pill pill.
“As for merchant Fang, we've been trading for so long, why don't you want to at all raise a little pay” Tanhill is trying to negotiate.
“Aiya, not oe do not want to raise the price of your goods, but the quality is as much as –, it is fortunate oe not cut the price, if you want the price to rise, if you want the price to rise, the quality should also be raised” the merchant Fang replied with a distinctive accent.
“As for merchant Fang, you also know for yourself, this pill made by me quickly sold out has shown that the quality of my – pill pill is very good”
Then as usual these two old men argued, but this time it was a little bit quick, Merchant Fang quickly agreed to Tanhill's request
“Huh, if it wasn't for my son needing some of your homemade pills, oe wouldn't be as good as today, it's lucky that you” said merchant Fang handed me a bag of gold coins.
“Thank you merchant Fang, son let's go again” Tanhill immediately ended the conversation and invite Claude to go to the next place.
“You will also know soon”
After a few turns, they finally arrived at a house with smoke rising from its chimney, a sign that the owner was working with his fireplace, it's not strange because the writing in front of his house reads Blacksmith.
“For what did we come here uncle?”
“To make weapons lah”
“For whom?”
“For you”
“Forku? But I don't need any weapons what – what uncle, why I I have to make weapons” Claude replied confusedly.
“Nak you talk a lot, can you not follow this uncle of yours, and shut up your smell that” Tanhill start to riled.
“I can't just keep my mouth shut uncle, it's obvious that this weapon is for me to use, so I should know what ... Therewwww” Claude yelled holding his head that had just been hit by Tanhill's fist.
“OK now we will enter into” Tanhill lead the way while Claude with a grimacing expression tailed behind Tanhill.
This house looks ordinary, the slum yard of the front room is full of dust that never seems to be cleaned at all, even in the middle room there is nothing – what other than one table and several chairs. True – right quiet room.
clang - clang
But different from the front room, the back room looks alive, visible from some sparks and hot air from the connecting door that is wide open.
Tanhill and Claude immediately headed for the back room. And he saw a middle-aged man was hitting – mukul a hot iron on his platform with a concentrated attitude afraid of a mistake to happen.
And Claude must admit he was amazed by the attitude and concentration this man showed.
“Let's wait a minute, wait for him to finish his work first then we say hello to him, remember to slow down your voice don't disturb his concentration” Tanhill half-whispering warned Claude.
“Without you explaining me I understand uncle” Claude replied.
Then the two sat waiting while paying attention to the old blacksmith's work.
A while later, the man struck the iron one last time, observed the sword eye he had just made, then smiled in satisfaction at the result of his work.
“Oh it turns out you came to visit, what's wrong ... sorry to wait so long I was too concentrated with my work” the man realized that Tanhill was already sitting in the corner of the room.
“What's wrong George, I'm used to your work, well it's been a long time I didn't come here and check on you, are you good – George, well, won't you accompany me with a glass of two drinks” Tanhill answered the greeting of a blacksmith named George.
“Heh Tan old, I know your habits, you won't come here if you don't have a specific purpose, immediately state you also know I don't like to talk - basi”
“Cih you should start to change your habits, the stale – base is important, saving us from troublesome work, you know with just a word we can get anything, without having to spend energy”
“Well that will be your job, my job is just to play with the hammer and flame, I am not too interested in what you mean” said George cynically
“In this moment I hate to be friends with you” replied Tanhill no less cynical.
“Hoy hoy, then don't expect to get another free weapon from me, last time you got a small bow from me and I didn't ask for the fee ..”
“Yes I know” Tanhill cut off George's speech, he then thrust out two Fangs Poison Stinger that Tanhill had removed from his Storage ring “What do you think?”
“Wow good material, what do you want to make these two fangs?”
“Dagger, how?”
“Can – could have” George mused “Ya these two fangs are indeed very suitable as Dagger, but for whom?”
“That boy” Tanhill pointed at Claude who was sitting behind him.
“Ouh you were right – properly prepared well” George smiled towards Claude.
“Well that's all I can do” Tanhill also smiled weakly.
Meanwhile Claude was puzzled by the conversation of these two old men.
“Prepare ... prepare for what?”
