Ch 10: News
The Great Eagle has been driven away, and now Chen Wen can go out during the day.
The valley is unsuitable for human habitation, and the Mother Dragon would not agree to a human living with them.
So they agreed to study near the village, and Ge Wei could temporarily stay in the village.
Chen Wen returned to the valley with a box of gold. The Mother Dragon learned that this was used by the outsider of the Human Race to buy the beak and claws of the Red-feathered Hawk, and she was somewhat displeased.
The dignified Dragon Clan is actually doing business with the Human Race.
However, for the sake of the gold, she reluctantly agreed, but required Chen Wen to give her half of the gold.
She had given all her previous collection to Chen Wen, and watching him constantly use the glittering gold to buy sheep from the Human Race, she felt a little heartache, but as a proud member of the Dragon Clan, she naturally could not ask for back what she had given away.
Most of these Great Eagles were killed by her; taking only half was already very courteous of her.
Chen Wen naturally had no objections; he even gave several gold coins to his younger brother and younger sister who helped process the Great Eagle corpses.
The younger brother and younger sister treated them as treasures, playing with them for a long time before hiding the gold coins under their scales.
After Ge Wei received the beak and claws of the Great Eagle, she returned to the village.
The villagers were very surprised to see Ge Wei return.
Upon learning that Ge Wei knew about their business dealings with the Black Dragon, the villagers became very nervous.
Ge Wei told the villagers about her trade with the Black Dragon and presented the beak and claws of the Red-feathered Hawk as proof, indicating that she was now on their side.
She was going to stay in the village for a while; if the villagers kept guarding against her, it would inevitably cause some trouble and might even lead to unnecessary conflicts.
She directly told the villagers that they were now in the same boat, so that the villagers would not reject her.
After she guaranteed that she would not steal their business with the Black Dragon, they finally felt relieved.
The next day, Chen Wen came to find Ge Wei to learn magic.
The human and the dragon taught and learned in the forest not far from the village.
Although Ge Wei’s spatial storage magic is a basic spell, magic involving space is very complex.
Even with the Dragon Clan’s higher magical affinity, it cannot be learned in a short time.
But Chen Wen studied very diligently.
In his past life, he was unable to move freely. The only way he could relieve his boredom was to learn all kinds of knowledge, immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge to help him forget some of his pain.
Therefore, studying was not a tedious task for Chen Wen; no matter how complex the knowledge was, he could calm down and learn it.
Seeing Chen Wen studying so earnestly, Ge Wei was somewhat surprised.
Spatial magic is extremely complex, containing many abstract and mystical concepts. Even magic geniuses would find it daunting, but she saw a longing for magical knowledge in the eyes of a dragon.
At this moment, a commotion came from the direction of the village, as if someone was arguing.
Ge Wei told Chen Wen to practice well and went to take a look.
Ge Wei arrived at the village and saw a group of people clashing with the villagers. Among those people was a richly dressed fat man.
Wasn’t that Tailin, the shady merchant?
“I’ll take the remaining sheep,” Tailin said domineeringly.
“No, we’re not selling these.”
“I’ve already raised the price, why won’t you sell?”
“What price increase? Wasn’t it this price originally? We sell our other sheep at this price too!”
“Come on, don’t pretend. You kept these sheep just to sell them to me, didn’t you? You’re afraid of offending me if you sell all the sheep, so you deliberately kept these sheep waiting for me, right?”
“We said we’re not selling these sheep.”
“You just want a higher price, right? I’ll raise the price by another tenth; I can’t go any higher.”
“We’re not selling these sheep.”
“I’m going to buy them today.”
Both sides were on the verge of a fight.
Ge Wei found a villager to ask what was going on.
It turned out that Tailin went to other villages to collect sheep, but due to the Red-feathered Hawks driving away the beasts, a large number of beasts invaded the Human villages in the surrounding area.
This caused considerable damage to those villages, and the villagers also lost a lot of livestock.
Tailin didn’t collect much livestock at once, so he returned to this village to collect sheep, only to find that they had sold 80% of their sheep.
Tailin was furious and clashed with the villagers.
The villagers also had a point; they were going to sell to him before, but he had lowered the price too much, so they went to find other merchants.
Tailin knew he was in the wrong, and he did need their remaining sheep to make up the numbers, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to deliver to his customers.
So he wanted to forcibly buy their remaining sheep.
But these sheep were reserved for the Black Dragon, so they naturally couldn’t sell them to him, but they couldn’t reveal the matter of the Black Dragon, so they could only vaguely and unclearly refuse.
After understanding the basic situation, Ge Wei stepped forward: “Oh, isn’t this Mr. Tailin?”
Tailin looked at Ge Wei, slightly stunned, and asked: “Ms. Ge Wei, what are you doing here?”
“Watching my sheep, of course!”
Tailin narrowed his eyes: “Didn’t your sheep leave?”
He was very dissatisfied with Ge Wei buying the village’s sheep. If it weren’t for her, he could not only buy enough livestock but also lower their prices.
Ge Wei knew he was unhappy and smiled slightly: “Aren’t there still so many here?”
“You bought these sheep?”
“Yes! I’ve paid for them. Ask Village Chief Aqi if you don’t believe me,” Ge Wei said.
Village Chief Aqi understood Ge Wei’s meaning and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes! Ms. Ge Wei paid for them.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Tailin said angrily.
Village Chief Aqi looked innocent: “I was in a hurry and confused. I’m getting old, Mr. Tailin, please forgive me.”
Since the village chief admitted to receiving the money, the sheep belonged to Ge Wei, and he could no longer forcibly buy them.
But thinking about not being able to deliver on his promise, his face was not good.
Although it wasn’t a big deal, it was precisely because it wasn’t a big deal that it was difficult to handle. If he couldn’t even handle such a small matter and was questioned for his incompetence, it would be bad.
He gritted his teeth and said: “Ms. Ge Wei, how about letting me have the sheep? I’ll add a tenth to the price.”
“Sorry, I have use for these sheep, I can’t let them go.” Ge Wei decisively refused.
Tailin was still unwilling to give up, and he made several more offers, but none of them could make Ge Wei change her mind, so he finally left angrily.
“That bitch, don’t let me find a chance, I’ll get even with you sooner or later.”
Tailin cursed all the way, torturing Ge Wei in his mind hundreds and thousands of times.
When his caravan reached a mountain pass, there was a commotion in the forest.
Tailin thought it was some kind of beast. He was currently full of anger with nowhere to vent it; half of his current predicament was due to those beasts that destroyed the villages.
“Stop!” He called a halt to the caravan.
Then he sent several guards into the forest to see what it was and catch it.
Damn it, if I can’t get Ge Wei, can’t I get you, beast?
After a while, the guards carried out a dark mass.
Tailin identified it for a while before realizing it was a Red-feathered Hawk.
Tailin kicked it a couple of times and then said to the guards: “Carry it away, carry it away, extra meal tonight.”
“Wait!” The Red-feathered Hawk said weakly, “I have some news, in exchange for my life.”
Tailin wasn’t interested in any news and turned to leave.
“Wait, you’ll be interested in this news.” The hawk quickly said.
Tailin didn’t turn around.
“There are several Black Dragons in the valley, and one of them can use weapons.”
Tailin stopped.
Black Dragons who can use weapons?
This news is indeed interesting.
Seeing Tailin stop, the hawk recounted what happened in the valley.
Tailin’s expression became more and more interesting as he listened.
