Transaction

A single Wind Fox pelt costs three Magic Crystal Stone.

On the contrary, no merchants wanted the griffin skin. Everyone felt that the griffin skin was not magical enough and that it could only be used to make magical parchment. In the end, a merchant who wanted to buy dire wolf fur took out ten Magic Crystal Stone and bought the five griffin skins from Instructor Nora.

Instructor Nora even sold seven dire wolf pelts for thirteen Magic Crystal Stone each.

That's right, the price difference between the hides of first-tier and second-tier magical beasts is that big.

Wind Fox are first-tier magical beasts. Although their hides have a certain degree of magical conductivity, they are somewhat lacking in other aspects. Therefore, they cannot be used to make magical leather armor, but can only be made into magical paper for making Magic Scroll. These kinds of magical beast hides can usually be bought for just two Magic Crystal Stone.

Wind Fox fur is a bit more expensive because it can be made into archer gloves, which have a certain affinity with wind attributes and are quite popular among archers.

Dire wolf pelts are selling for thirteen Magic Crystal Stone each, which is considered a bargain price.

It's unclear how these merchants learned that Instructor Nora possessed a hide of a Venomous Horned Black Serpent...

This is the biggest motivation for the businessmen to gather around.

Everyone was practically bursting at the doors of the Adventurers Guild, all wanting to buy the python skin from Instructor Nora.

The leather of the Venomous Horned Black Serpent so tough that even arrows cannot penetrate it, so the scale armor made from it must be top-quality.

These magical beasts dwell in the swamps, and many Adventure Group in Padesto City have tried to hunt them down, but most of Adventure Group have returned empty-handed.

"Eighty Magic Crystal Stone, I'd like to buy your Venomous Horned Black Serpent Leather..."

A group of merchants surrounded Instructor Nora and her companions, and one of the reckless ones shouted loudly.

Instructor Nora was quite tempted by the price, but such high-grade leather was extremely rare, so he wanted to ask the members of the Adventure Group for their opinions.

She turned to the crowd and asked, "Does anyone want to use this python skin to make a suit of scale armor?"

The instructors exchanged glances, then looked at Roy, Sabrina, and Miss Christine. Clearly, none of them had considered making a suit of scales from the leather of the Venomous Horned Black Serpent.

Roy thought his Thick Leather Armor made of Petrification Lizard hide was perfectly fine...

Seeing that no one responded, Instructor Nora said, "If no one needs it, I'll sell this python skin..."

She turned to a group of Elf Merchants and said, "This python skin is about the size of five dire wolf skins. I don't need to tell you how tough the skin of the Venomous Horned Black Serpent is, and it also has a high resistance to toxins. Because I didn't want too much trouble when skinning it, I divided this leather into four pieces, each about the same size..."

As they spoke, Instructor Nora took out a piece of leather from Venomous Horned Black Serpent, and with Instructor Eleanor's help, the raw hide, which had not undergone any treatment, was unfolded and covered with a layer of dark scales.

A group of Elf Merchants immediately swarmed around, all wanting to get a closer look at the quality of the leather.

"Don't push! Don't push anymore!"

"I'll offer forty-two Magic Crystal Stone..."

"I'll offer forty-five Magic Crystal Stone!"

After a brief bidding war, the merchants remained largely rational, and no elves engaged in malicious bidding.

After an Elf Merchants offered a high price of forty-five Magic Crystal Stone, no other competitors raised their bids, and everyone began to look forward to the second python skin.

Instructor Nora took out the second piece of skin from the Venomous Horned Black Serpent and, just like last time, unfolded the leather in front of everyone. This piece of python skin was a little longer than the first one, but there was a sword wound on the edge of the leather, which was left by Instructor Nora.

She even tried to cut open the Venomous Horned Black Serpent's abdomen with her longsword, but unfortunately her Elf Long Sword wasn't sharp enough and only pierced the python's skin...

Elf Merchants immediately shouted out forty-five Magic Crystal Stone, and the other Elf Merchants immediately shut up.

However, the merchant who had just snapped up the Venomous Horned Black Serpent skin did not hesitate to offer another price:

"Forty-six Magic Crystal Stone!"

So he bought the second piece of leather from the Venomous Horned Black Serpent.

To everyone's dismay, he participated in the next two bidding rounds, and bought the remaining two Magic Crystal Stone for 48 and 53 Magic Crystal Stone respectively.

A single python skin sold for a high price of 192 Magic Crystal Stone, a rare sight even in the Padesto City.

After completing the transaction, Instructor Nora carried a bag full of Magic Crystal Stone. She, who usually didn't care much about money, suddenly became a little giddy.

In Castleton City, how much would a set of Magic Inscription Construct made of Spike-tailed Crystal Lion skin cost? If you had a leather craftsman tailor-make leather armor and selected Magic Rune Array, one hundred Magic Crystal Stone would be enough.

A single piece of Venomous Horned Black Serpent skin has sold for the equivalent of two sets of Magic Inscription Construct; this adventure has been incredibly profitable.

Instructor Nora gripped her money pouch tightly and addressed the Elf Merchants refused to move aside:

"Alright, we've sold all the monster hides we had. Everyone, please stop crowding around here and make way..."

"Excuse me... are you still selling that black python's venomous horn you have?"

One of the Elf Merchants, who had squeezed to the front, asked Nora.

Instructor Nora certainly wanted to sell it, but she didn't know the market price of this type of magical beast material, so she simply said:

"I'm not sure about the market price of this, so I don't plan to sell it for the time being."

The merchants, of course, did not want Instructor Nora to leave just like that, and asked her, "What about the snake gall?"

"I've already made Detoxification Potion from the snake gall. A comrade was poisoned in battle, so I made the Detoxification Potion on the spot," Instructor Nora answered truthfully.

"You must have extra Detoxification Potion, would you be willing to sell Detoxification Potion?"

"Um, let me think about it some more. I haven't thought about it yet."

Instructor Nora said tactfully.

Actually, she didn't want to sell these Detoxification Potion directly, because they could be repackaged into bottles...

She has already divided the Detoxification Potion into nine portions, but hasn't distributed them to everyone yet.

The Adventure Group squeezed their way out of a group of Elf Merchants, looking quite disheveled. They hurried across the street, but even after they had gone quite a distance... some merchants were still following behind.

I was originally planning to browse the Free Market, where you can buy many rare Magic Herbs.

Now, the group could only slink back to the hotel.

"So hunting high-level magical beasts is this profitable."

Instructor Eleanor showed no signs of being poisoned and spoke excitedly to Instructor Nora.

Instructor Nora couldn't help but glare at her. "Why don't you tell me how dangerous it is to hunt Venomous Horned Black Serpent!"

If it weren't for helping Woods find his elders, Instructor Nora would have been preparing to return to Pattington Island via the Teleportation Portal that afternoon.

Therefore, the Elf Academy Adventure Group will stay in Padesto City for another day.

Roy helped Woods, whose arms were in slings, out of the hotel. They happened to see an Elf Merchants standing at the hotel entrance, looking into the hotel lobby from below the steps.

Instructor Nora had long since returned to her cabin at the top of the tree to rest, so he naturally couldn't see her from where he was standing.

Roy and Woods emerged from the inn, Elf Merchants failed to recognize Roy as a member of the Adventure Group, probably thinking they were too young, and expressionlessly let Roy and Woods leave...

Is this the place?

The two walked through a large area of treehouses and past a row of orange tree shops before arriving at a fountain pool with Moonlight Fountain.

The elves built a small, clean square here. In the fountain, there is a statue of a Silver Moon Elf leading a unicorn. Many young Half-Elf are sitting on the benches by the square, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.

Roy and Woods found a bench and sat down.

"This is the square. We made a promise in Padesto City that if anyone gets separated, we'll wait by the fountain in this small square every afternoon, and everyone will surely find their way back."

Woods kept looking around and said.

Roy sat with Woods on the bench until dark, but Woods' elders never appeared, which made Woods a little frustrated...

Woods stared blankly at the fountain, looking utterly disappointed.

Roy noticed that there were almost no Silver Moon Elf in the square, and as darkness fell, the fruit vendors next to the square packed up and left.

Roy and Woods had no choice but to return to the hotel.

As Roy entered the hotel lobby, he saw the businessman who had been waiting at the door during the day in the lobby lounge area. He was sitting on the sofa, leaning forward and chatting with Instructor Nora.

Although Roy didn't know what they were talking about, he could see that Instructor Nora was sitting there shaking her head repeatedly.

The Elf Merchants stood up with a disappointed look, and left the inn with a sigh.

Seeing Woods' dejected look, Instructor Nora whispered to Roy, "How is it? Didn't you find Woods ' family?"

"No, we sat at the agreed location all afternoon, but we couldn't wait for her..." Roy whispered to Instructor Nora.

"It's okay, you have to be patient with these things. They might need to take a longer route, but they'll be back in a few days," Instructor Nora patted Woods on the shoulder, comforting him.

The three of them went back to the treehouse along the spiral staircase of the giant tree. Roy saw Woods sitting in a chair in a daze, so he ran into the bathroom and took a shower.

"Are you leaving Padesto City tomorrow?" Woods asked Roy, frowning.

"Yeah, school starts soon, I need to go back to Castleton City Elf Academy to report for duty," Roy said to Woods while drying his wet hair.

He hung the washed clothes to dry on the terrace, then went into the room, only to hear Woods ask, "Can Half-Elf like me from out of town attend your Elf Academy?"

"Of course! Whether you're Silver Moon Elf, Dark Moon Elf, or Half-Elf, Half-Elf like me can all attend the Elf Academy!" Roy replied.

"I'll go if my family agrees!"

Woods' eyes sparkled when he said that...
