Upon hearing Su Ziyu's words, the rchant nad Bird hesitated a bit.
He waved his hand to signal the guards to open a sealed box, and Su Ziyu then saw strange flesh organs inside, along with various peculiar corpses seemingly frozen.
"These are goods needed by Rog, the Undead Lord from the north."
The rchant in front seed very polite, slightly bowed, and said: "He is a Witch Demon. So this ti, the goods we brought are only so corpses and organs."
"I guess you aren't particularly interested."
Witch Demon?
Goods for the undead? They all look like fresh corpses!
Oh, crap.
Could it be near the Soul Summoning Tower I discovered? There's actually a Witch Demon there?
Luckily, I didn't act recklessly.
Su Ziyu was undoubtedly uninterested in these fresh corpses and flesh organs, his expression a bit disappointed as he said: "What other goods do you offer?"
"If it's sothing demons need?" The rchant in front was patient, saying: "Souls? Weapons? Armor?"
"But these require a deposit."
Doing business with demons needs a considerable deposit, otherwise, it's too easy to make a loss.
Weapons can be forged on your own.
Demons don't need overly refined equipnt; as long as it's heavy enough, it can exert power.
There are mineral veins around here; the truly advanced equipnt is mostly used by Su Ziyu himself. Giving a heavy two-handed battle axe to a Frenzy Demon suffices. Little demons are now reduced to labor units; Sharp Claw Demons are born with their own weapons, so Su Ziyu's demand for these isn't very high.
"How much for souls?" Su Ziyu asked.
Upon hearing Su Ziyu's words, the rchant in front suddenly perked up, and slowly said: "As you can see."
"I've beco a slightly wealthy rchant."
"So we're not interested in ordinary soul trading; scattered, humble souls are everywhere in this corrupted wilderness."
"If you need these, you should find those wandering Night Witches."
"They likely have quite a few low-level souls."
"We only sell high-quality souls, those from strong individuals, like so high-tier professionals, powerful casters, dangerous monsters, high-ranking magical beasts, dragon-type creature souls, and so forth."
The rchant carefully took out a gray-white Pure Crystal Stone and introduced: "Look."
"This is a Soul Crystal Stone of an adult White Dragon."
"White Dragons don't drop Soul Crystal Stones; we sealed it with Soul-Binding Technique before its death, thus obtaining this high-quality Soul Crystal Stone."
"Of course."
"This is the goods needed by that Witch Demon. If you want it, you need to reserve in advance."
Such high-end goods.
The rchant in front seed to have quite decent strength; his guards at least looked like a group of high-quality, powerful enforcers at a glance.
This person is interesting.
Su Ziyu didn't quite know how to describe it, feeling so noble aura about him, maybe he was a respectable person in life.
By the way.
The rchant nad Bird in front is an undead; his exposed skin is slightly grayish-white, but the flesh seems well-maintained, and just appears pale in color.
He really is a respectable person.
Because usually, undead don't deliberately maintain their appearance; a careless undead quickly develops corpse spots on the skin, followed by the flesh rotting and peeling off. These problems haven't appeared on him; even his exposed fingers seem very slender and pale, possibly treated with special oil.
ticulous.
An undead actually so particular.
This is an interesting person.
Su Ziyu weighed the pouch in his hand, which contained ten dium Soul Crystal Stones, equivalent to about 5000 points of Power of Slaughter.
This is a substantial protection fee.
He looked at the rchant in the distance and said sternly: "How much is a high-tier professional's soul?"
"About 20 dium Soul Crystal Stones." Bird quickly replied: "If it's a caster, the price is three to five tis higher. Wizard souls are the most expensive, while warrior souls are the cheapest."
Warrior souls are the cheapest?
Su Ziyu felt inexplicably sad and continued to ask: "What about a Giant Dragon's soul?"
"Starts from 100 large Soul Crystal Stones." The rchant in front couldn't help appraising Su Ziyu, seemingly doubting this Demon Lord's purchasing power but still answered earnestly: "Sub-dragon species souls are the cheapest."
"True Dragon souls are much more expensive."
"Of course, if the soul is of Legendary Quality, its value may be ten tis higher."
Legendary Quality?
Higher quality souls? Legendary strong individuals in life?
Su Ziyu found he really couldn't afford it, thought a bit, and asked: "Do you purchase high-quality souls? What's the price?"
Oh?
Aren't demons always craving high-tier souls?
Why would the Demon Lord in front think of selling high-tier souls?
The rchant in the distance looked a bit strange, but still answered seriously: "We charge a thirty percent fee."
So it's a seventy percent recovery?
Prices are quite fair, at least it's not a half-price recovery.
In fact.
What Su Ziyu doesn't know is that the rchant in front fears angering demons; demons notoriously have bad tempers. Others recover at half-price, but demons might add a bit more, or they might flip out easily.
The aggressive fear the reckless, the reckless fear the fearless.
Demons are indeed the fearless type!
Su Ziyu's Abyssal Blood Pool can capture so souls every day, and even so high-quality souls appear. Maybe if lacking resources in the future, he could sell so high-quality souls for ergencies.
Of course.
This probability is still very low.
High-quality souls usually an a better demon talent and stronger power after transformation, unless so souls aren't suitable to be converted into demons and need to be sold.
Ultimately.
Su Ziyu let the rchant team leave.
On one hand, their strength is formidable; if Su Ziyu acted, he might not necessarily win. On the other hand, they're very disciplined, handing over the protection fee right upon eting.
The goods in the rchant team don't attract him either.
Speaking of which, after possessing the identity of a demon, his mind surprisingly accepts the idea of robbing more easily.
No way.
This needs a bit of attention.
Su Ziyu silently warned himself, then waved to send the demons away.
The rchant team gradually faded away.
After distancing a bit, the leading rchant rubbed his temple, feeling a headache: "When did a Demon Lord rise here? Make sure to report it on the way back!"
"But he seems to collect money."
"Should be negotiable, so this trade route can still be used."
Facing unnegotiable yet powerful Demon Lords, these rchants can only take detours.
