THE BLACK GOD OF DEATH
CH. 144

Their journey to the grassland hills went smoothly without the slightest obstacle from the monsters living in the great forest of the Green Forest. Thanks to Yumiko's help leading their way, Xi's party was able to reach the prairie hills within a few hours. And it was a quick time considering their previous position was so far away from the prairie hills.

Everyone walked up the hill, and saw there were many adventurers as well who had climbed first. Xi's gaze was fixed on the leather bag that everyone was carrying, seeing from its size, Xi concluded that those people had gotten a big catch.

" The adventure here is different from in the city of Jisa... Here, there are many great people. " Murm Xi in her heart and walk while closing her eyes as she muttered.

Arriving at the top of the hill, Xi and the others were able to see a flat area completely covered by beautiful green grass. There were only a few trees that were bodies on top of this hill, and it was also a nest for some harmless little monsters.

Xi was amazed to look at the mobs on this hill, but the goal came to the top of the hill not to be stunned to witness to the natural senses, but rather to do some business with the merchant Rizel.

" We have arrived, this is the merchant trading place of Rizel in the great forest of Green Forest. It was here that adventurers would sell their hunted produce to Rizel, or they could also exchange their goods for the items they wanted. Not only that, if the merchant Rizel saw something interesting, he would be as close as meeting the person personally and buying the item he wanted from the person. No matter how much it cost, merchant Rizel would not hesitate to take out his money. " Say Yumiko explained to Xi and friends about the rules of this trade and a little about the merchant Rizel.

" Simple and interesting rules... " Said Xi quietly after hearing Yumiko's explanation. In this case, of course, Xi is also aware that there are unwritten rules in this trade, although he does not know what it is, but Xi is sure of it. Xi smiled, and could not wait to meet with the merchant Rizel, because the people who were doing transactions outside of this, were only subordinates of the merchant Rizel.

" What else are you waiting for, let's go in. Don't you want to sell your game to get some pocket money? " Say Xi walked into the trading area. Inviting the others to come in, it would be strange if they just stood there like a statue.

After hearing those words, they all started walking in and entered the merchant Rizel trading area. There, everyone immediately sold their hunted. The amount they sold was not much, but the quality of the items they had was much higher than other adventurers.

Many people pay attention to them when they want to sell some of the items they carry.

" Waw, look at that, that's great! "

" Is there such a crystal in this place? Where'd they get it? "

" Crazy, they're just too amazing... The stuff they brought was all a step stuff! "

" Even they also have high-level monster crystal cores?!! That's a good thing for making weapons! "

" Where did they get it? I want one too... "

The adventurers were surprised to see all the treasures of the steps brought by Yumiko, Airis, Astia and the others. Some also want to have one of the items on the table. Many of them were envious because the party got a lot of good stuff.

" Geez... What the hell are they? Trying to show off! "

" Haaahh, even though we have also fought hard but the results are normal. The world is really unfair. "

" They were very lucky to get all those things without going through a long fight like us. What an unfair luck. "

Some who were envious of the results of Xi's party thought that Xi's party was just lucky to be able to get the items. They feel the world is unfair to them for not getting anything they want even when they are already trying hard.

Xi and the others were able to find all the items - the step items were also thanks to luck, but it was really not good luck, but rather it was bad luck. Met with many waves of monsters when in the first day of the explorer, if even that in normal time, the, people who just talk big will not even survive even just 10 minutes after passing the first wave.

With a keen sense of listening, Airis could hear all the other adventurers talk about them. It made him angry and annoyed.

" What the hell are they? Why are they even scolding us? Though they don't know how hard it was for us to get through the monster wave yesterday! " Airis said with an annoyed look.

Yumiko who heard Airis's complaint could only laugh a little, it was marked if Airis had not gotten used to the talk of people who were jealous of the results.

" Already - just ignore them, it's natural that they talk about us because they don't know the process. " Yumiko tried to calm down Airis who was annoyed with the scorn of those people.

With a pouting look on her face, Airis turned and said "Well, this time I will let it go! " Reply Airis pouted. Although it has been prevented by Yumiko, but Airis is still upset and can not forget the talk of all of them.

Everyone chuckled at Airis' childish attitude. That made Airis even more upset and irritated, but he had no choice but to endure his frustration of not wanting to create trouble for his master.

The merchant who was a subordinate of the merchant Rizel was surprised to see all the items placed on his desk by the adventurer party. Several times he closed his eyes, and rubbed his face to make sure what he saw was true.

After making sure of himself by slapping his own face which made Airis and the others surprised, the merchant was as conscious as if what he saw was not a dream. Rather, this was an unexpected reality that he had seen all along.

" I this... High-class monster core! It's real! " Tell the merchant with a fuss. He screamed so loud that he surprised everyone. " How did you guys get all this? Yakkp... Wait, monster cores can only be obtained after defeating monsters, did you hunt strong monsters yesterday? " continue the merchant while asking them.

All did not answer the merchant's question. They just stood there silently while smiling awkwardly.

Looking at their expressions, the merchant felt that they did not want to say it. Feeling that his piercing had been too excessive, the merchant immediately apologized to them for making them feel uncomfortable.

" Aa, I'm sorry... I was too excited... " Say the merchant. He apologized to Yumiko and the others while bowing and bowing his head.

" that... It's okay, I understand how you feel. " Reply Yumiko did not mind the merchant's attitude before. Anyone would definitely be surprised to see the items it carried.

" Thank you for forgiving me, so... Hows it? Do you want to sell everything? " Tell the bengun traders back and continue their buying and selling.

All nodding in unison signified they wanted to sell off all those high quality monster cores. Although there were still many other items they had, everyone agreed that they would only sell high-level monster cores to the merchants today.

" Alright, then wait a minute, I'll count it first. " The merchant began to count the amount of money he had to give them.

On the other hand, when everyone is selling their goods. Xi walked around for a while nearby. At that moment, he accidentally saw some people were near a monster that was like being injured, and those people were trying to take care of his injuries.

However, looking at those people, it seemed like they were confused to deal with the injuries suffered by the monster.

" Ouch... How'this? This has never happened before... " Said one of the men who was worried to see the monster's condition getting worse. That's because, the monster's leg suffered an injury that resulted in his leg swelling. And the wound became more and more repulsive than the day before.

" It's very difficult, we have to tell this to Mr. Rizel. " Tell one of them again, advising the others to tell the monster's condition to be bad.

The curious Xi went to all those people to see what was really going on. As he was there without everyone noticing his presence, Xi noticed the condition of the monster.

A screen appeared in front of Xi and provided information about the monster.

Monster name: Rock Rhino. Rank : B. Level 62. Exp :10,000. Monster Type: Beast.

Skill : Skin hardening, physical attack cancellation, magic attack resistance, powerful beat.

[The current condition of the monster is being injured. There is swelling in the ankle area of the left leg that causes the stone rhino can not stand and act like other stone rhinos ]

Xi held his chin after reading the message the system conveyed. " The swelling? Then it should be three or four days to heal but... It seems like the swelling in his legs is not just a slip or fall. There were some wounds on his leg like it was an infection. " Murm Xi in his heart. Observe the condition of the stone rhino's body well, and see there are some injuries such as incision wounds on his legs. That should be impossible if it happened on purpose because the stone rhino has the ability to harden its outer skin. So that something that comes from the outside will not be easy to hurt him.

" Hmmmm, this is bad, if left too long can - he could lose his leg. " Said Xi subconsciously she said that.

Everyone who heard him was very surprised because suddenly there was someone they did not know talking right beside them all. The arrival of the man really surprised them, as they were unable to sense his existence, and were unable to even sense his presence.

" Yeahaaa! Whoareyou? Are you a ghost? How did you get there without making a sound? " all were surprised to ask Xi. Some held onto their chests and felt his heartbeat beating extremely fast.

Realizing that he had just slipped into speech, immediately apologized to all of them for surprising them. " Aa, sorry. I'm just a curious passerby. " Said Xi casually apologizing to all of them.

" Uhmm, yeah... But, how did you get there without making a sound? No. gabe... More importantly, do you know how to cure it? We need these monsters to transport our goods. " Say one of the men, ask Xi how to deal with this matter so that the stone rhino does not lose his leg.

Hearing the question, Xi held his chin as he thought of a way to save the stone rhino. With the help of the system, Xi came up with a solution. He told them all how to deal with the problem.

" The way is not difficult, you just have to give the wounds on his feet with clean water first, then replace the healing potion with a monster healing potion. After that, give some blueberries or other fresh fruits to help restore the condition. " Said Xi giving advice to them.

Hearing Xi's explanation, everyone stared at each other. There was actually nothing wrong with the advice Xi gave. However, the problem for them was, they did not have any monster healing potions.

" Uhmmm, this... " Say one thought of Xi's words.

" What's up? " Task Xi to all of them.

" In fact, we don't have any monster healing potions. " She said.

" Are you not traders? How can you not have such an important potion? " Task Xi to those people, astonished at everyone because they didn't prepare something that these monsters needed.

" A is... " Confused what to say. Because this was wrong they did not prepare a monster healing potion for the monsters they brought.

Wasting his breath, Xi gave them a monster healing potion that he took from within his inventory.

" This is the potion, now you can do it yourself? " Tell Xi gave the potion while asking them.

Everyone was silent for a moment when they saw Xi peeling off a monster healing potion. Because they were surprised how adventurers like Xi had the herb when the job was not Summoner, or Monster Tamer.

Usually, the monster healing potion was only brought by people who could control the monster as his comrade and weapon like young master Rumbel. And there are also those who disgust monsters with traces of contract magic.

" A... Yes, we can... " Answer one of the men received Xi's potion.

Two bottles of the monster healing potion they received, and when they reached their hands they were shocked to see that the healing potion was of high quality.

It was astonishing to see a high level potion being given away like giving someone a bottle of water. Although a bottle of water was precious, but a bottle of this high-level monster healing potion was simply too precious. In this world, not many people could concoct high-level monster healing potions.

Compared to making a high level healing potion, making potions for monsters was much more difficult, because the difficulty was twice that of ordinary healing potions. And obviously the market price of the monster healing potion was very high, even though it was a low-level monster healing potion, it was very expensive.

The jobs began to carry out their duties by following the advice Xi gave earlier. They washed the wounds on the feet of the stone rhino to clean the wounds from the poison. After cleaning it with clean water, they then slightly poured the monster healing potion that Xi gave the stone rhino leg, and the rest were immunized to the stone rhino.

In the process, the wounds suffered by the stone rhino slowly healed. His swollen legs deflated and returned. Everyone was very happy to see the rhino who had been weak and helpless now healed and healthy again.

" He's cured, a high-level monster healing potion is indeed incredible! Now we don't have to worry anymore. " Said one of the men was very happy to see him. Amazed by the healing from the extremely fast monster healing potion.

" Ready, sir! " Reply them in unison. Then they were as bright as pegi take fruit - fruits that are specifically for the stone rhino.

" Adventurer, thank you for helping us. Your kindness will always be remembered. " Say the Captain of the monster care division to Xi as he bowed. He sincerely thanked her for helping him and his team heal their monsters.

" Ah, no problem. Then I'll go first, I'll sell some of my stuff. " Reply Xi to the person.

Seeing Xi leaving, the man stopped him by saying "Wait a minute adventurer master, my master wants to meet you. He said he wanted to do some transactions with you. " Pinta the captain of the monster care division to Xi. He conveyed the message he got from his subordinates from the merchant Rizel.

Merchant Rizel, the boss of the merchant wants to meet him. It made him interested and unable to resist.

" That's lucky... I was also planning to meet him, who would have thought he would ask me to see him. " Murm Xi in his heart.

" Promote the way. " Pinta Xi told the captain of the monster grooming division to lead him towards where the merchant Rizel was.

Hearing Xi's request, he happily pointed the way. " Okay sir, please come with me. " Say to Xi.

The man was as bright as leading Xi to the room of merchant Rizel, precisely in a large tent and looks luxurious. The tent where the merchant Rizel was located, it already looked like a noble tent, the only difference was that merchant Rizel was a merchant.

Entering the merchant's room Rizel, when he saw two men in the room, it looked like he was waiting for his arrival.

A middle-aged lung man sitting on a luxurious chair was the merchant Rizel who asked his subordinates to call Xi to meet him.

Meanwhile, the big burly man standing behind the merchant Rizel was Bernard, a bodyguard as well as the right-hand man of the merchant Rizel and his subordinates whom he trusted the most.

Xi's eyes were fixed on Bernard standing behind Rizel, meanwhile, Bernard's eyes were also fixed on Xi.

The two exchanged glances, and could feel each other. " This guy... He's not human! " Tell them both in the same heart.

Welcoming Xi's arrival, Rizel's merchant asked Xi to sit on the chair he had prepared.

" Hohoho, master adventurer, you're coming. Please sit in this chair. " Tell merchant Rizel kindly.

When he was asked to sit in a chair that had been prepared, Xi thoughtlessly sat down while saying "Thank you. " Say Xi to the Rizel merchant. " Nee, so what do you want, Mr Rizel? " Task Xi to the merchant Rizel about his purpose of inviting her in.

Merchant Rizel was slightly surprised by Xi's question, he immediately smiled and laughed. " Hahaha, as you already know from my subordinates, I want to buy some monster healing potions that you have. Of course I will pay him a heavy price, what about 1,000 gold Coins for his bottle? Whaddya think? " Tell merchant Rizel and lengsung about his goal of inviting Xi, which is to buy Xi's monster healing potion.

" 1,000 gold coins bottle huh? Interesting, how much do you want? " Task Xi to the merchant Rizel about the amount of goods he wants to buy. In his inventory, Xi had a lot of monster healing potions that he bought from the shop system. There are about a thousand more in his inventory, it can be that much because there is nothing else that can be bought in the shop system.

All skills ranging from passive skills, and other active skills have all been sold out. All that was left was basic-level adventurer equipment or equipment, and some other low-level accessories that Xi did not touch at all. For some other top-tier weapons, the reason Xi did not buy them was because of all the attributes that existed there was absolutely nothing suitable for him what else for his subordinates. And the millions of system points he had usually he exchanged for gold coins and platinum coins.

Hearing Xi's question, made the merchants Rizel and Bernard quite surprised. Because it seemed, the number of monster potions possessed by Xi was not small. That was what they had in mind when they heard Xi's question.

" Uh... Eeee... Can you give us 20 bottles of high-level monster healing potions? I'll pay for it all in advance. " Scholar Rizel asked Xi.

Xi responded by nodding. A system screen appeared beside him and showed him a high level monster healing potion he picked up according to the amount demanded by merchant Rizel, and placed it all on the table.

In the eyes of the merchants Rizel and Bernard, they were so surprised that Xi was able to use space magic, which was very powerful among adventurers, that there was even only a small percentage of witches who could do it.

" The magic ruangkah? Ba how is it possible... Want to see from any side, this child is clearly a fighter. And he has space magic that is able to hold a lot of stuff? Even a veteran magician could only store two or three items within his space magic... If he could store this much, how much space would his space magic be? " Scholar Rizel muttered. Surprised to see Xi unlock space magic and take out many high-level monster healing potions from there. It's not unusual for someone to have space magic, but a fighter who can use space magic that even a veteran magician is so hard on, it's very strange. The capacitance of his space magic was so great, it was extremely abnormal.

Bernard opened his eyes wide and no matter how he looked at it, this was simply too incredible. For a combat class that possessed space magic that was extremely step by step, its rarity could not be compared to that of witches. For a fighter, being able to use a piece of space magic is a blessing, because those who possess it can store a precious item that can save his life when in danger.

" Space magic is limited to just one or two items, but this child can store this much... Who exactly is this kid? He has what I don't have... Haaaa, it really makes me jealous. " Bernard said in his heart, giving his long breath, resigned to what he saw. Despite being envious, there was nothing he could do but accept the reality. At his thought, maybe this was luck to Xi.

The two misunderstand Xi who can use space magic. Although Xi can use space magic, but the storage capacity is very minimal, and it can only store about 4 small items. And it would obviously not be enough to hold all the items he owned, therefore Xi never used his space magic, and just focused on storing all his items in an infinite inventory.

" This is the 20 bottles of high-level monster healing potion you requested, please check if you feel unsure. " Said Xi to the merchant Rizel who was still speechless from being surprised at his ability earlier. He also asked the merchant Rizel to make sure that the goods he gave them were real or fake, and ascertain whether the purity contained in these 20 monster healing potions is the same as the other 2 potions that Xi gave.

Merchant Rizel came to his senses from his daydream after he heard Xi's voice. He shook his head, then said to Xi.

" no... No need for me to check again, it is clear that these 20 herbs are original and have the same quality. " Scholar Rizel told Xi. With his analytical skills, Rizel is able to analyze an object with both eyes, and see the characteristics and qualities of the object he sees. " As I promised, 1,000 gold coins for one potion. So the total is all 20,000 gold coins. " Advanced merchant Rizel.

The merchant Rizel turned his head and looked at Bernard, and he ordered Bernard to take the money. " Bernard took out 20,000 gold coins in the storage room, and gave all of that gold to this master as payment for the items I bought from him. " The merchant Rizel said to Bernard.

" Okay sir, please wait a minute I'll get you. " Answer replied in a low and polite tone. He was as bright as the permission to retreat and as bright as taking the money needed in the treasure room.

When Bernard left the two of them, two screens appeared in front of Xi telling the merchant Rizel and Bernard the right-hand man.

Name: Rizel Continath. Race : Human. Rank : A. Level 106. Exp :34,931. Class : Great Traders. Title: Honorable Great Merchant.

Passive skills: Business, Fortune, Negotiation.

Active skills: Analysis, traders blessings.

Name: Bernard. Race: Beastman - Snow Bear. Rank : S. Level 139. Exp :1599000. Title: Beast master of snow tampel.

Passive skill: Invalid magic attack, invalid physical attack, invalid natural influence, Fire Resistance, Ice Resistance, Water Resistance, Ice Skin, Snow bear Blessing.

Active Rare skills: Snowball, Shout, Ice Clawn, Ice Armor, Ice sword Style.

The Awakening Skill: Wailing snow.

Seeing all that, Xi was silent for a moment making ke adaan become silent. Upon entering Rizel's merchant's room, Xi realized that Bernard was not human, as Xi felt the breath of a monster hidden within Bernard's body. And now, after he saw Bernard's status board that the system showed, he had no doubt that Bernard was not human. Except he's a snow bear monster who mutated into a snow bear beastman.

" I had expected him that he was not a human, he also had the title of Beast Master of Snow Tample... What place is that? I was curious... Should I ask him? " Xi said in his heart, after seeing Bernard's status, he thought of what kind of place the Snow Tampel that Bernard controlled was. Xi also thought if one of the monsters in his car also lived there?

Xi let go of his breath and said "Haa, forget it for now... I'll ask him later. " Murm Xi. " Rizel's merchant... Nothing is too special from him but, Fortun skill and also this Analysis not all traders have it. No wonder he became a great merchant and was respected by many countries as Yumikl recounted. " Subsequently Xi.

Looking at Xi who was silent, and seemed bored waiting. Merchant Rizel took the initiative to speak to Xi.

" Expressor sir, did you come to this place just to pick up items? Are you interested in buying some stuff here? I have a lot of Magic Steel, maps, magic equipment and some other precious items, are you interested to take a look? " The merchant Rizel told Xi to offer and promote the goods he sold to Xi. Even so, merchant Rizel did not expect much if Xi would buy his goods, with the existence of 20 high-level monster healing potions on him, it was already strong evidence for her to believe that this Xi came from a wealthy noble family. And he looks like someone who has no shortage of any items.

Of all the items Rizel's merchants mentioned, Xi was interested in two. Map and Magic Steel. On his way, there were already many iron materials he encountered, ranging from the lowest quality to the highest. However, not a single Xi had discovered Magic Steel after a very long time of exploring.

Magic Steel is a high quality iron that is very difficult to find what else to look for. However, once you find the mines, there will be a lot of magic steel that you can find until when you dig and take all that magic steel, you will become very rich.

Magic Steel is the most desirable iron - craved by any contractor. Although there are still several other types of iron, but more difficult to find. So the popularity of other step iron is not as popular as Magic Steel which is usually used to create magic items.

" Adventurer sir, it's too difficult. Just call me Xi, and talk, Mr. Rizel... " Say Xi to the Rizel merchant. Merchant Rizel raised his eyebrows in bewilderment as Xi called out to him.

" What's up... Mr. pe, no... Master Xi? " Task the merchant Rizel to Xi nervously.

" You said you had Magic Steel? How many do you have? " Reply Xi.

" Aa, I don't know how many but, if you want to see it I'll take you personally to see - look and choose it. " Sweet merchant Rizel to Xi. Since Xi was interested in Megic steel, Rizel's merchant became excited, this would be a great advantage for him, even if he could not make Xi his partner, at least he wanted to make Xi his honored guest.

" Please show me the place, and... Isn't that the only thing you're selling? Pinta Xi to the merchant Rizel, and asked him to take her to where Rizel stored magic steel and other items.

" Of course there are many more... You can choose and buy whatever you want mister Xi. I assure you personally, will provide the best service for you. " Sweet merchant Rizel.

Rizel stood up from his chair, taking Xi to take a look - look at all the items he had stored in the VIP room. The place where there are many items - items, herbs, and high-quality materials that Rizel usually sells to noble families who become his VIP meeting. Especially the Duke, and the royal family.

And for Xi, he was the first person to enter the VIP room without high family status. It could be said, this Xi was treated with special care by merchant Rizel.

Rizel opened the door of his room to Xi, as the door opened. There are many tables, and the closet is neatly arranged. There are so many quality items in this room, if ordinary people enter this place, they will say this place is a paradise for adventurers.

" Please come in and choose as you please, Mr. Xi. I will give you a price reduction for every item you want to buy. " Trade Rizel politely told Xi.

" A, before that... Can you prepare a map for me? " Task Xi to the merchant Rizel before he goes inside and looks - look at the item in the room.

" Map? Could have been but... What map do you want? " Rizel's merchant replied a little confused, therefore he asked Xi about the map Xi asked for.

" I mean, this hidden word map, give me all the copies. Of course I will also pay for the maps. Map of hidden dungeons first to fifth floor, copy them all. " Answer Xi. Xi asked the merchant Rizel to make a copy of the hidden dungeon map from the first to the fifth floor according to the original map. And of all the maps, Xi will pay him according to the price dropped by the merchant Rizel.

Hearing Xi's request, merchant Rizel did not mind the slightest copy of the map or the original map, but, for the maps of the fourth and fifth floors, merchant Rizel was a little hesitant. Because no one has ever reached the fourth floor and lami, although there are some who reach the fourth floor, but none of those people ever come back alive. Everyone who went to the fourth floor all disappeared without a trace, no one knew what had actually happened to those people, because in the past few years, no one knew what had happened to them, no one else went to the fourth floor. This explanation of the hidden word ends on the third floor.

Seeing the merchant Rizel who was just silently grumbling after hearing his words, Xi thought that the merchant Rizel objected to giving all the maps to him.

" Is that something that's hard? " Task Xi to the merchant Rizel.

Hearing the voice of Xi who was asking him, merchant Rizel regained his senses from his daydream and said.

" no... Not at all, just for this fourth and fifth floor map... I don't have it, because no one has ever come back after exploring the fourth floor, and I myself have never gone there. So I can only give you one to three floor hidden word maps only. " Answer answered Rizel, explaining to Xi the condition of the map of the fourth and fifth floor hidden word that he did not have even until now.

Xi understood the situation of merchant Rizel, which is why Xi did not take issue with him, it would be better to speak honestly than to give him the right information.

" I understand the situation, it doesn't matter. Please make copies of the first to third floor hidden word maps, along with biomes from each floor. " Say Xi to the Rizel merchant.

" Okay, then I'll have the map ready. " Rizel's merchant replied, then he invited Xi to come in and walk around while looking - look at all kinds of things there.
