"So many" Zhu La and his wife were stunned.
One silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and Gray's monthly salary is only about two silver coins.
As for Jula, the salary is slightly higher, but it is only about three silver coins.
Unless they occasionally visit wealthy people or lords, they will get some extra commissions.
Ten silver coins are basically equivalent to two months of their salary.
"What do you want with so much money?"
Gray frowned.
"The mission requires it.
I will return it to you after the mission is over."
Dudian said seriously.
Jula and Gray looked at each other and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll just treat it as a celebration fee for you, but you have to promise me not to use it for bad things."
Dudian breathed a sigh of relief.
He also knew that the money was indeed quite large.
The Zhulas could give it to him solely because of his status as a guard.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary child ask his parents for two months of their money?
Salary, and the reason is not mentioned.
The next day.
Dudian went out early in the morning with ten silver coins in his arms and came to the Adventurer Market in the Residential South District.
Whether it is a slum, a residential area, or a commercial area, it is divided into four areas, east, west, north, and south.
Each area is extremely vast, and Linkang Street, where Du Dian lives, is located in the southeastern area of the residential area.
The so-called Adventurer's Market is a free trading market for civilians outside of chambers of commerce with formal business licenses.
The goods here are all materials found by civilians from the outer edge of the living area, close to the giant wall.
In that outer zone, the nuclear radiation in the air is dense, and only some adventurers are willing to go there.
However, the career of adventurers often does not last long.
They usually retire after working a few times and use the money they earn to support their eroded bodies and slowly retire.
However, Dudian didn't have to worry about the nuclear radiation there.
He checked the information and found that the black standard soft armor he received was made of lead.
Lead is an extremely dense metal that can effectively resist radiation and can be entered and exited at will.
After all, the radiation in the outer edge area near the giant wall is nothing compared to the outside of the giant wall.
However, although they are protected by uniforms, they will still breathe the polluted air there, and the outer zone is too far from the living area.
Hiring a carriage used to be quite expensive.
In addition, there are animals lurking there that are corroded by radiation. , very dangerous, Du Dian was too lazy to waste time and go there in person.
After spending five copper coins for carriage money, Dudian came to the adventurer market.
There were many carriages coming and going, and it was very lively.
Noisy sales could be heard from a distance, and the carpets on the ground were filled with goods.
There are various things, some of which are clothes and dolls made by others, some of which are rocks of strange colors, and some of which are rare animal bacon that has been dried.
Dudian walked along the aisle.
Half an hour later, Dudian finally found a few rough sulfur ores and white ice crystal-like saltpeter in front of a stall.
As for the charcoal powder, he could make it himself without wasting money on buying it.
The boss is a middle-aged man with dark skin and a dry build.
His hair is messy, his eye sockets are sunken, and there are some red spots on his hands, as if he has contracted some disease.
Although he is covered by long sleeves, when he raises his hands, Still exposed accidentally.
Dudian took a look and knew that the radiation content in this person's body was extremely high, and he would probably live for a few years, unless he was treated by the Holy See of Light.
After some haggling, Dudian finally bought all the saltpeter and sulfur ore in his stall for one silver coin and twenty copper coins.
The saltpeter was the more valuable, costing one silver coin.

"You have to refine this sulfur ore yourself.
After the refined sulfur is ground into powder, it should only be enough for one pack of explosives.
In addition, when you go out to scavenge, you are not allowed to take anything else with you except food and basic weapons.
You can carry I don’t have much black powder, so I’ll just buy this for now,” Du Di’an thought in his mind.
"Little guy, these things are quite heavy.
Did you call a carriage, or did your adults come and help you get them?
Do you want me to carry them over for you?"
The thin, dark middle-aged man said with a smile after receiving the money.
"No need."
Dudian casually picked up the linen bag.
The heavy weight of about twenty kilograms inside was as light as nothing in his hand.
He turned around and left, continuing to look for grinding tools.
The thin, dark middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly and blinked his eyes.
Not long after, Dudian bought some basic tools for alchemy at other stalls.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the role of these tools naturally has nothing to do with alchemy, but ordinary working tools.
For example, the stone wheel used by Dudian to grind sulfur is generally used by doctors to grind hard medicines.
After buying almost everything, Dudian walked around the market and learned about what supplies were available here.
If needed in the future, he could buy them directly here.
At noon, Dudian turned around and left, preparing to go back for dinner.
"Boss, please sell this broken stone to me for just one copper coin, please."
Suddenly, a young boy's voice sounded.
Dudian turned his head and looked, and saw a sturdy boy half a head shorter than himself standing in front of a stall next to him.
He was holding a small linen bag in his hand.
He was currently holding a rough black stone as big as a fist in his hand.
"No, no," the stall owner was a short and thin young man.
He shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is iron ore.
Although the weight is quite small, it sells for at least two copper coins."
"Boss, even if this is iron ore, it's just an ore, not iron.
You can't extract much from such a small piece, but you can make a lot of money with just one copper coin."
The strong boy changed his strategy and started lobbying: "Besides, so A small piece is not needed in the smelting factory, and no one will buy it.
You can still make money by selling it, but if no one buys it, you can only lose it. " The short and thin young man was moved by his words and hesitated a little, but finally said: "Okay."
The burly boy grinned and paid readily, then put the black stones into a linen bag, turned around and left with the bag on his back.
Dudian withdrew his gaze and was about to turn away, but in vain he paused and turned around suddenly, looking at the wrist of the strong boy carrying the linen bag.
There was a tiny black hook pattern there.
"Alchemist Apprentice" Dudian was a little stunned.
He didn't expect to meet an alchemist apprentice here.
From Roseyard's notes, he learned about the alchemist's lifestyle and some habits.
The most impressive thing among them was that every alchemist Warlocks will have exclusive tattoos on their bodies.
This is the symbol of an alchemist and one of the basic ways to get started on this path.
The tattooing method here is very old.
Use plants or medicinal powder to mix black water and inject it into the skin through a needle.
The outline of any pattern, even a small dot or a shapeless crooked line, is considered a mark.
Although in addition to alchemists, there are also nobles and the Holy See of Light who master tattooing methods, but their tattoos are different from those of alchemists, that is, they will never use "black" as the pigment.
Once a black tattoo is tattooed, no matter whether it is a noble or a member of the Holy See of Light, they will be treated as an alchemist.
It can be said that this is an absolute proof.

Similarly, if you don't have black tattoos on your body, even if you are a true alchemist, you will not be recognized by other colleagues.
Dudian glanced at the direction in which the sturdy boy was leaving, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally he picked up the linen bag and quietly chased after him
