The legendary warrior

Chapter 247 Casting Monopoly On The Lower Region

To these members, Ricky gave each one hundred gold coins as the rewards for staying.

Hence, these members promised him their unwavering support. After all, one hundred gold coins were not a small sum of money. Normally, for such an amount, they'd have to hunt beasts at Bone Reinforcement for over half a month or even more.

...

The following day, in the Lower Region, almost everything went on as usual, except for a few things. Some unfamiliar faces whose arrival no one seemed to have a clue about were seen around the Manor Gang.

Most likely, they were from the Panther Gang and the Ghost Gang, sent by their leaders to spy on Ricky and his companions and confirm the rumors.

Once they established that all the three leaders of the Manor Gang were still alive, they quickly left to report back to their leaders.

The senior members of the Panther Gang and the Ghost Gang sensed a strange aura about their leaders. They all seemed to be very anxious, even as they went about their duties with the unflappable air of battle hardened warriors.

To raise more suspicion for the day, the leader of the Ghost Gang secretly came to the leader of the Panther Gang. Nobody knew what they had talked about behind closed doors in the chamber. Anyway, after they came out, they looked rather depressed.

...

Ricky, Tyson, and Kristen knew there were spies lurking around, but they were not worried. If the leaders of the two gangs dare come to the Manor Gang, Ricky and his team would just let them come

and see what would happen.

In half a day, the remaining members of the Manor Gang had collected all kinds of casting materials.

After that, Ricky started his casting directly.

In his casting, Ricky didn't use the Pounding Skill of the Devouring Skill and the Chaotic Fire Skill. Instead, he used the alternative pounding methods devised and taught by Elder Alexander and Elder Samuel.

He concealed his intricate skills so as to stay under the rudder for as long as he possibly could.

After he left the Earth Fire Land, he hadn't spent much time in casting. However, as he learnt more of the two Supreme Skills, his casting also improved immensely.

Even as he went about casting, Ricky could tell his skill had reached the peak of the intermediate Mortal Level. If he could keep on training hard enough, he was sure he'd graduate to advanced Mortal Level in about a month.

Besides, he wanted to establish a vibrant casting industry here.

Members of the Manor Gang all felt incredible when they heard that Ricky was about to conduct casting. Watching Ricky successfully cast five weapons at intermediate Mortal Level within six hours, they were quite astounded.

Meanwhile, they were also glad that they had chosen not to leave the Manor Gang.

A casting master at intermediate Mortal Level would, with no doubt, occupy the highest position in the Lower Region of this Chaotic Region. Everyone from the top ten gangs would badly want to associate with Ricky when they knew his casting skill.

Even more exciting was Ricky's generosity and genuine concern for everyone on his side. He spent half a day casting suitable weapons for every member of the Manor Gang. Going out of his way, he cast enough weapons so that they had an excess to sell off for some money.

The impressive skills and selflessness instantly endeared Ricky, Tyson and Kristen to members of the Manor Gang. From now on, they resolved to give their loyal and support.

While Ricky was casting, Kristen listened carefully to his unique pounding aura. Somehow she was not fully convinced it was the ideal realm she wanted.

'Did I guess wrong? Maybe Russell is not Ricky!' Kristen thought to herself, 'Or did he deliberately conceal that intricate Pounding Skill?'

...

So far, for four consecutive days, Ricky had been casting, and he had managed to complete a hundred weapons at intermediate Mortal Level.

Of course, Tyson and Kristen had assisted in smelting. Otherwise, no matter how fast he was, Ricky would not be able to cast a whole one hundred weapons in such a short time, all by himself.

"Russell! You've cast one hundred weapons in only four days. You are indeed an experienced hand with extraordinary skill and work ethic!"

exclaimed Tyson with a satisfied smile.

"If you hadn't helped me with the melting process, I wouldn't have been that efficient!" Ricky also laughed.

"Well, let's wait and see how many of the weapons we can sell tomorrow." Tyson smiled with expectation in his eyes.

...

The next day, Ricky, Tyson, and the members of the Manor Gang set up stalls directly in front of the Manor Gang to sell off the excess weapons.

They immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding warriors.

Naturally, the warriors were skeptical about whether so many weapons were really at intermediate Mortal Level.

However, on close observation, they were shocked. From years of experience in hunting, they were pretty much skilled in distinguishing weapons. Surprisingly, the stack of weapons on sale here were not only at intermediate Mortal Level but also the best possible quality. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Not to miss out on this rare opportunity, they brought all their money to join the auction straight away.

Secretly, some of the warriors wanted to cause trouble and thus disrupt the sale. But when they saw Tyson, they gave up their mischief.

Due to the high demand, the average price of the weapons shot to fifty thousand silver coins per piece - the equivalent of five hundred gold coins. Ricky and his team fetched a pretty penny.

That was a windfall, far beyond all expectations. In the real sense, the prime cost of these weapons was only three thousand gold coins at most.

With over forty thousand gold coins, the four days of hard work were compensated for in a way that words could not begin to express.

"To earn fifty thousand gold coins in four days, no wonder casting masters are the richest people in this world!" Tyson observed excitedly as the bags of gold coins were carried into the castle.

"With these fifty thousand gold coins, we can build ten shops in the town," Ricky said, squinting his eyes.

Next, his goal was to completely monopolize the weapon industry in the Lower Region.

Having earned so many gold coins, Ricky decided to reward the members of the Manor Gang. He took out five thousand gold coins and distributed them directly. Afterwards, they all shared a sumptuous meal.

Determined to hit the ground running, Ricky gave five thousand gold coins to Tyson along with two members of the Manor Gang. In the next ten days, he charged them with the task of finding people to build ten shops around the castle.

While the construction of shops was going on, Ricky led the remaining members of the gang in continuously casting weapons.

By the time the shops had all been built, an extra cache of three hundred intermediate Mortal Level weapons were also ready to go on sale.

When the shops opened, all the weapons sold out in less than half a day, and the Manor Gang had another windfall.

Now, the Manor Gang's casting was thoroughly spread throughout the Lower Region.

Most importantly, just from these two auctions, other gangs that sold weapons were counting their losses, as customers were getting cozy with their newfound love. Now customers all chose to buy Ricky's excellent weapons and meanwhile commented on other weapons as rubbish.

The aggrieved gangs were not going to take the invasion of their business territory lying down. They would have to put an end to the aggression and expansion of the Manor Gang.

However, they all knew Tyson was the wrong guy to mess with. As such, they hoped that the Axe Gang of the lower six gangs would react first. The Axe Gang was sure to take actions because a large part of their income was from selling weapons.

...

And as sure as night follows day, five days later, the Axe Gang finally took action.
