Chapter 25 25. DEAD GUY

Walking into the city ,Noah closed his eyes ,and breathed in, the first detail he noticed was that, the Mana density here was more, though not over the top, it was significant enough for him to notice.

He felt his pores open and welcome the inflow of Mana.

Looking around ,Noah noticed the finely built buildings, some from stone while some from wood ,there were mostly one storey buildings or a bungalow like building.

He noticed that unlike Mariwa, the place didn't looked like a poverty stricken city.

The people were neatly dressed, the merchant stalls, were lined up in a orderly manner, and once In while Noah would see soldiers patrolling the streets.

Walking , Noah took everything in, the chattering of people, the running of children the moving carriages, everything.

Walking down a random street , different merchants advertised their products, which varied from weapons, potions, food, clothes and some other stuff.

Due of the advertisement, Noah remembered that he needed money, and his only way of getting money currently was to sell the bodies of the Magical beasts he had killed.

But there was a problem ,he didn't know where to sell them. Looking around the bustling street, Noah looked for anyone that was less busy.

Since even though the city had a good standard of living, there would surely be some who couldn't meet those standards.

Spotting someone like that, Noah walked up to a young man, no older than himself, the only noticable difference was that ,Noah looked and was dressed relatively decent, while the other guy didn't look decent ,and wasn't wearing clean clothes

"Hey, good afternoon" Noah said with a smile.

The man looked at him and snorted "Good afternoon ,what do you want?".

From that Noah decided to go straight to the point. "I need information" he answered in a flat tone.

"What type of information can you get from someone like me?". The guy asked raising an eyebrow.

"It's pretty simple ,all I want is where I can sell the bodies of Magical beasts" Noah replied.

Straightening his position ,the young man said " Information comes at a cost" He said.

"How much do you want?" Noah asked

Smiling the man replied "20 small copper coins".

At that ,Noah smiled, "5 coins, take it or leave it" ,he replied.

Snorting the man wanted to say something but Noah beat him to it ,"If you don't want, I can ask someone else".

Noah said pointing at some other people, who looked like they needed money badly.

With that statement the man sighed , before introducing himself , "I am Ben , resident of the city of Vonol" .

Noah nodded his head and introduced himself too "I am Noah. lead the way".

"Payment first" Ben said with his left hand outstretched.

Glancing at the outstretched palm Noah replied " I will give you three coins now and when we get there the remaining two". Flashing a frown at those terms, Ben agreed.

Bringing out his bag of coins from the inventory, Noah removed 3 small copper coins, and gave it to Ben, who smiled and began to lead the way.

They walked for approximately five minutes ,crossing from street to street, until they got to a ash painted building, it was a few meters high and a few tens of meter of meter in width.

On the outside there was a signboard saying "Trapper".

Nodding his head at the familiar word, Noah gave Ben the remaining two coins, before proceeding to enter the building.

Upon entering, Noah was surprised to find that rather than the smell of fresh meat, there was a sweet fragrance that permeated the whole room

The room had a reception, and behind the reception table there was a man , and behind the man there was a wooden door. Right beside the reception, there was a wide space that was big enough to accomodate two mini-vans .

Walking up to the reception, Noah saw a thin middle aged man ,the man had short brown hair ,neatly shaved beard and black eyes, he currently wore a dark blue colored robe , and sat on a chair that brought himself to Noah's height.

"Good morning sir" Noah said.

The man who had seen Noah since he entered replied, " Good morning ,how may I help you?"

" I would like to sell a few of the dead magical Beasts I have".

Nodding his head the man stood up.

"Drop them there ,so I can inspect their condition" ,The man said pointing at the wide space before bending down to look for his tools.

During that moment Noah decided to Inspect the man's power.

[Pascal]

[Tier: 2 ]

[Level: 32]

[Chances of death: 17%]

Nodding his head at the results, Noah decided to bring out the tier 1 bear he had beheaded.

Straightening his position, The man Pascal although he had not told Noah his name, looked at the bears body, and raised an eyebrow. He walked over to it and did some inspections, like piercing it's body to check it's thickness, and raising some of the arms.

Then he straightened his position, before shooting a curious glance at Noah and said "It is in perfectly good condition, But ; it is just a tier 1, and I can only purchase it at 20 small copper coins.Though if you have more let me see them"

A frown flashed on Noah's expression though only for a second , it seemed that tier 1 magical beasts were very easy to come across, which led to them being very cheap.

Nodding his head Noah brought out , three foxes , five tigers, two snakes, seven apes and three badgers ,filling up the space ,and going on to drop them on each other making a small hill.

All of them in perfectly good shape apart from their head missing or their body split in half.

Pascal's eyes widened at the number of dead magical beasts Noah had .

Clearing his throat he Inspected all of them one after the other, it took him a bit over ten minutes to finish, and when he did there was pure surprise in his face.

" They are all in good condition" The man said more to himself than to Noah.

"Yes I tried my best to limit the damage they received when u killed them" Noah replied even though he knew the man wasn't really talking to him.

When the man heard Noah's words, he looked at him in surprise and asked. "You killed all of them by yourself ?".

Noah nodded his head. He knew how hard it was for normal tier 1's to kill a magical beast but he wanted to advertise himself ,so that the man would value him.

Snapping out of his shock a few seconds later the man opened his mouth to talk "Since all of them are in surprisingly good condition, I will purchase them in 30 copper coins each, do you agree?".

Smiling in his mind ,Noah replied "Yes"

Nodding his head , Pascal opened the wooden door behind him and entered it, a minute later he brought a bag of coins and handed it over to Noah.

Using his mental waves, Noah counted the coins , seeing that they numbered 60 medium sized copper coins, he nodded his head satisfaction.

Pascal went on to store the magical beasts in his space ring, before saying, " If you ever want to sell your hunt please come to me".

Noah nodded his head and was about to leave ,when he remembered something "Please how much is a tier 2 magical beast worth? ".

Pascal raised an eyebrow before replying "At base price, a tier 2 magical beast will sell for nothing less than 500 small copper , while factors like ,what stage it was ,or what species it is, would determine if it would sell for a higher price" Pascal explained.

Noah nodded his head in surprise, one tier 2 magical beast would earn him the same as. twenty tier 1.

Bringing out the evolved lizard ,Noah watched as Pascal's face went from Normal to wide eyes.

Then Noah Said " I Would like to sell it please".

##

Coming out of the building , a happy Noah could be seen bouncing, he had made more than he expected, apparently 'Evolved Stone lizards' weren't that common ,and their rocky scales could be used when making armours or shields making them worth more.

Due to it being in lower stage , Pascal bought it for 100 medium sized copper coins, which in Total brought Noah's worth to a whooping 1704 small copper coins.

Walking down the street, thoughts of what to do next ram through his mind, he was so lost in thoughts that he failed to notice that people were parting ways for a particular man who had a small envoy of 5 men.

So when he accidentally bumped into the man Noah snapped out if his thoughts ,"Oh I'm sorry" he quickly apologized.

only for him to see a fist coming his way, though he easily blocked it by holding the fist, then he the crowd gasp.

Noah looked around to see that everyone was avoiding his gaze.

Then he turned back to see the person that threw a punch at him.

There was man in his early twenties like Noah, who wore a lemon green robe and some expensive looking jewelries.

The young man's face had turned red, while pure wrath twisted his face, he seemed about to choke from anger.

Noah let go of the fist only to find that the guy was about to draw his weapon.

Noah looked at this scene with surprise, he could see the man move to draw his sword all for him to be stopped by a man who looked to be in his fifties.

The man wisphered something into the young man's ear that made him stop.

" You will pay for what you did" Said the young man before turning to walk away.

​ As the man was walking away Noah saw that the gaze of the middle aged man was on him ,he instinctively inspected the man.

[ Boris ]

[Tier: 2]

[Level: 48]

[Chances of death:50%]

Noah frowned at the discovery , the man who seemed to be the butler of the you man was strong.

After a few seconds Boris whispered something that only Noah could hear .

" I'll find you", At that he turned and walked away.

Noah's frown deepened he seemed to have gotten himself into some trouble.

After a while Noah looked around, all for him to notice that both passerbys ,and merchants who had stalls there, were looking at him with pity in their eyes.

This scene got Noah even confused 'What the heck is going on ' Noah shouted In his mind.

He stood there for minute until a young man who looked slightly older than him, walked up to him and said

"Hey Dead guy what's up?"
