Chapter 85 Selling Skeletons
Chapter 85 Selling Skeletons
Time soon arrived in the morning three days later.
The weather is fine today, and the sun is slowly rising, bringing a sultry heat to the land here.
But the Menghua Town below is very lively.
I saw that the huge square in the center of the town was full of people.
There were about two to three hundred people, all of whom came to join in the fun.
In addition, there are more than 20 guards around to maintain order.
And people looked at the skeleton soldiers in the square, and began to talk about it.
"I heard that something very important was announced today."
"Hopefully it's tax cuts."
"Ms. Sara is already very kind, it doesn't matter whether the tax is lowered or not."
"That's true. Compared with the previous taxation, it's not the same now."
"Then call us here today, what will happen?"
"It is said to be related to those skeletons."
"These skeletons are horrible, what can we have to do with them?"
"Maybe it made you one of them, haha."
Because of the good public security and administrative management, the residents of Menghua Town still like Sarah, at least they can make fun of her at will.
They would not have dared to frolic like this under Peart.
After a while, Sarah came to the center of the square wearing a formal administrative suit and high heels.
Behind her was a small man in a black cloak with a book in his hand.
Because the cloak covered the whole body, it was impossible to see who it was.
When everyone saw Sarah appearing, out of respect for each other, they quickly fell silent.
Sarah came to the high platform and looked at the people watching the excitement around her, showing a slight smile.
"Residents of Menghua Town, hello everyone!
It’s been almost a month since I came to Menghua Town, after this period of getting along.”
After saying hello for a while, she began to talk about the changes after becoming the administrator of Menghua Town.
When everyone heard the words, they immediately thought of the past suffering days and the present comfortable days, and they were all moved for a while.
After a while, Sarah saw that the time was almost up, so she said, "The reason for calling everyone this time is because I am doing something for everyone again.
After many days of my persuasion, our mayor finally agreed to provide undead for everyone to use.
That's right, that's right, these hard-working skeletons behind me who can work 24 hours a day without food. "
After some introductions, she played the skeleton soldier so well that it seems that if you don't buy it, you will regret it for a lifetime.
Of course, all she sells are simplified skeletons, which are weaker and less expensive than skeleton soldiers.
And the people below were also moved when they heard the words.
As Sarah said, with skeletons, they can be freed from heavy labor and do more things.
It's like buying a slave to work on.
But slavery has long been abolished by the Supreme Council of Wizards, and aren't these skeletons better slaves.
"Administrator Sarah, how much is this skeleton?"
"Yeah, how much is it? If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
"It's good to buy one and keep it at home for odd jobs."
"Yes, I plan to buy one and use it as a waiter in a tavern."
In the end, when everyone called, Sarah raised a finger and said: "As long as one gold coin, one gold coin can bring the skeleton home, and we also allow up to three people to buy together!"
Hearing this price, many people immediately lowered their heads, and the heat in their hearts was extinguished.
A gold coin may not seem like much, but it will cost everyone two or three months of wages.
And without eating or drinking.
The problem is that now that the price of goods is soaring, and the price of food has more than quadrupled, how can everyone save money?
Although Sarah reduced a lot of taxes, it was offset by this wave of price increases.
But those industrial and sports households are different.
Thoughtful looks flashed across their eyes.
One gold coin per skeleton, if calculated as a person's labor value, it only takes two or three months to pay back the capital, and then there will be a steady stream of income.
The question is, are skeletons really useless?
Soon, someone asked this question.
Of course Sarah was already prepared for this.
"Although the undead don't need to eat, it's not completely exhausted.
They need to replenish their soul fire every month, and the cost of replenishing soul fire is only 35 silver coins. "
These weakened skeleton soldiers are weaker in strength and speed, and also consume less soul fire.
The soul fire is replenished only once a month, which is the biggest characteristic of these skeleton soldiers.
After minor improvements to the Spiritual Pagoda, now one soul stone can convert fifty points of soul fire, which is equivalent to one point of soul fire worth twenty silver coins.
The reason for selling 35 silver coins is of course to make money.
Hearing that it can be used for a month for only 35 silver coins, those self-employed merchants stopped hesitating immediately and stepped forward to buy it one after another.
"I want one."
"Give me two."
"Give it to me first, I want ten!"
For these industrial and commercial self-employed, the monthly fee is only silver coins, which is already much lower than human wages.
The key is that the skeleton can still work 24 hours a day, without rest at all, and without giving room and food.
Calculated in this way, the skeleton is simply a human worker.
And those who can become self-employed businessmen, who are not human beings, naturally know how to calculate this account.
Sara was not disappointed when she saw that all the purchases were made by self-employed businesses, and the civilians retreated one after another.
Although the master's plan is to hide soldiers and civilians, it is impossible for many civilians to buy it in the early stage.
Only when everyone sees the benefits of the skeleton, there will naturally be people rushing to give away gold coins.
After all, the output of skeleton soldiers is only 24 per day, and there are more than 3000 people in Menghua Town.
It will take about half a year to meet the needs of one skeleton soldier.
What's more, can one person really satisfy everyone?
Seeing that those self-employed businessmen were buying by a dozen or so, she immediately started to sign the contract.
And the 37 skeleton soldiers who were tried for sale on the scene were bought out immediately, and were ordered to go out.
After the contract was signed, Sarah smiled and said to the person in the cloak behind her, "Miss Ai Ruo, I'm sorry."
That's right, following behind her is Thanos's little butler and cook, Ai Ruo.
But now she has a new identity, that is Thanos' assistant.
She put away the book in her hand, did not take off the hat on the cloak, just nodded, and said in a cold and soft voice, "Then let's start."
When Sara heard this, she immediately recruited the first man who bought the skeleton, and asked Ai Ruo to link it to the skeleton.
After Ai Ruo became a dead spirit the day before yesterday, Thanos also strengthened his spiritual power.
So she has stepped into the threshold of extraordinary.
And helping others draw out the spiritual power to link to the skeleton is exactly the ability she has just learned.
