Listening to Zoro's words, Old Peter showed a true expression.
Fortunately, there was no need for him to pin his hopes on Zoro to change his mind.
Since plan one doesn't work, Old Peter is ready to implement plan two.
"Lord Sauron, old man, I have a way here, which can not only help you solve your financial problems to a certain extent, but also buy some time for selling these otherworldly creatures?"
"I wonder if you would be willing to take a moment to listen?"
"Boss Peter, there's no need to be so polite. If you have any ideas, just say them directly."
Zoro was also a little surprised by Old Peter's reaction.
In his imagination, since the other party knew that he was short of money and was eager to sell the goods in his hand, he should do everything possible to lower the price and purchase this batch of goods.
Unknowingly, Zoro brought the style of the merchant from his previous life into this world.
However, he forgot that in this magical medieval world, his status as a noble made him naturally superior to others.
"Lord Sauron, you really don't have to take action in such a hurry."
"As long as we make reasonable arrangements, old man, I can sell those otherworldly creatures for you at a suitable price."
There is no difference between these two sentences of Old Peter and his initial remarks.
Zoro felt that if it was just these, then the other party wouldn't have to repeat it to him. It seems that Old Peter might have other things that he didn't say.
as expected!
Old Peter saw Zoro still patiently waiting for him to speak, so he took a deep breath.
"If you are really short of money, old man, I have saved a little money in this business over the years."
"The number is about four hundred gold coins."
"If Sir Sauron doesn't mind, old man, I can take out the money and lend it to you temporarily."
Old Peter could almost say this through gritted teeth.
These more than 400 gold coins were all the belongings he had accumulated over decades, without any reservation.
Now that he had taken it all out and lent it to Sauron in one go, only he himself knew how risky it was.
More than four hundred gold coins.
Don't look at Zoro's expressionless appearance.
In fact, he was completely shocked inside.
Originally, he thought that Old Peter was already financially strong if he had more than a hundred gold coins.
But I didn't expect that the other party actually accumulated more than 400 coins.
This forced Sauron to re-examine the profits of the business of selling Warcraft materials.
On the other side, Old Peter seemed to have thrown away all the pressure in his body after saying what he just said, and continued to talk:
"I just don't know how big the gap is on your side, Master Zoro?"
"If that's not enough, I also took a look at the corpses of these otherworldly creatures. Although there are many corpses of these otherworldly creatures, most of them have missing limbs."
"When the time comes, we can probably put together seven to eight complete corpses."
"As for the remaining old guy, I know a spellcaster who lives in Waterdeep City. I think he would be happy to buy the remaining materials, but the price will definitely not be as good as the complete corpse."
"But the advantage is that the money can be obtained directly, and Sir Sauron will not waste too much waiting time."
I have to say that Old Peter's method really interested Sauron.
However, if the other party was able to consider his position in such a way, he must have some agenda. Zoro never believed in pie-in-the-sky things.
"So what do you want from me?"
Zoro directly expressed his doubts.
Conspiracies and intrigues have never been what he, a semi-otaku, is good at.
"hey-hey!"
"Lord Zoro, old man, I am not a greedy guy."
"I just hope that I can get some commission after selling these otherworldly creatures."
Old Peter rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"So how much do you hope to get?"
Zoro glanced at Old Peter in surprise.
He originally thought that Old Peter would seek something special, but he didn't expect that this old guy just wanted some gold coins.
Hearing this question, Old Peter was shocked.
This is a gift proposition!
Asking for too much will make him appear greedy.
What he asked for was less, but it was a waste of his hard work, and making animal specimens also required a certain amount of material costs.
It seems that the only choice is to bet on the character of Lord Sauron.
"It's all up to Lord Sauron!"
"In that case, let's do it according to Boss Peter's method."
Zoro was not a mother-in-law person, so since he had decided to do this, he simply started assigning tasks.
I obviously planned to do nothing at the beginning, but in the end I had to do it myself.
Thinking of this, Zoro felt really painful and happy at the same time.
The pain comes from having to decide everything.
Happiness is also because everything needs to be decided by him.
"Seth, you just stay here temporarily and see if Boss Peter needs help."
"And Thor is still asleep in the carriage, so you need to be more distracted."
Sauron had not forgotten that there were three female relatives lying in his carriage, so he decided to keep Seth behind.
"Yes, Lord Zoro."
"Kahn, you will go out with me later and we will buy some other things."
"By the way, call the little guide as well, she will be of use."
Zoro turned to Kahn again.
"Yes, Lord Zoro!"
Kahn nodded, and then walked into Old Peter's shop, preparing to take out the kid who was leading the way.
"Boss Peter, I don't know if I can..."
Zoro also had a low reputation and was embarrassed to mention money directly to Old Peter.
Fortunately, old Peter is also a mature man, and he can see what Sauron wants to say at a glance.
"Lord Sauron, please wait for me for a moment."
"Thank you for your hard work, Boss Peter."
Not long after, Boss Peter walked out of the shop holding a black wooden box in both hands.
Looking at the material of the box, Zoro felt that it was somewhat similar to the wooden door on the third floor of his house.
A total of four hundred and fifty-six gold coins.
This number slightly exceeded Sauron's expectation, which made him a little happy.
Now that he has obtained the gold coins from Old Peter, Sauron is no longer prepared to stay in Old Peter's yard. He still has many things to do.
"Oh, right."
"Boss Peter, those jars contain alien blood. When the time comes, I would also like to trouble you to help me ask the spell caster if he needs it?"
"If you don't need it, just take care of it for me."
Before leaving, Sauron once again told Old Peter not to forget the acid blood in those jars.
As for the shells of those shield crabs, Sauron did not mention them.
On the one hand, he has obtained money that far exceeds the value of the shield crab materials themselves, and on the other hand, Sauron also has the idea of using those things as temporary collateral.
"Lord Sauron, please relax. Old Peter will handle everything for you."
