Chapter 286 [0283] Select a Reliable Animal

Because of the lack of official economic exchanges between countries, the exchange rates between the currencies of various countries have always been in a floating state.

However, no matter how floating it is, the exchange rate of Gold Hex and Gold Double-headed Eagle is at most between 0.8 and 1.2 due to different exchange occasions. With a rough calculation, the two can be regarded as equivalent currencies!

Therefore, the price offered by this Scarash is... one thousand gold hex!

You know, in Zaun, the price of one thousand gold hex is enough to buy two apartments in the city center - the kind that have been uniformly decorated.

At this moment, Lux even had the urge to question the cattle dealer in front of her, "Is your Scarash made of gold or silver?"

Fortunately, Kalya's laughter made her realize something was wrong. She curled her lips calmly, and then said, "I have to see your Scarash to be sure."

The cattle dealer looked at Lux and Ino again, and after roughly estimating the price of the goods they purchased, he finally nodded with some hesitation.

"Come with me."

……………………

Following the footsteps of the cattle dealer, Lux and Ino soon arrived at the southeast corner of this giant market.

Here, Lux meets Scarash for the first time.

Looking at these giant beasts leaning against the wall, chewing in their mouths, Lux finally understood why it was worth a thousand gold coins.

Without exception, these Skalas are more than five meters tall at the shoulder. Their limbs are slender, their backs are high, their round bellies have long hair hanging down, their thick necks are slightly curved, and there are no hairs on their huge heads. Exceptionally, it has a pair of stubby horns.

After seeing Lux, they seemed to be a little curious about this little person. While continuing to chew the food fiber in their mouths, they came over and twitched their noses, as if they wanted to smell her.

Pairs of fist-sized eyes blinked at Lux. This scene even seemed a bit cute in contrast.

"Look, these are great young men!" the cattle dealer introduced enthusiastically and proudly, "Look clearly, they are all who have not been groomed yet - they are very energetic!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the vital points of these Skalas, as if he wanted to prove to Lux that the Skalas he was selling were indeed young, unmasked males.

Lux's face remained calm, but the toes in her boots had curled up in embarrassment.

Only then did she realize why Kalya laughed maliciously before - hell, she thought Scarash was the large camel she had seen in Kalamanda. Who would have thought that this thing could actually Is it that big? !

Look at their broad feet and big belly that can fit a small group of people. In the desert, Skalas are definitely top-notch transportation tools. It’s no lie that they are more expensive than Yalong!

Not knowing how to judge the quality of Scarash at all, Lux could only hold back her embarrassment, pretending to look them up and down while looking to Kalya for off-site support.

"This guy thinks you're a fool!" Kalya, who had laughed enough, finally got down to business, "Skalash does have male endurance better and is more suitable as a mount, but that thing has nothing to do with their age. To identify age, look at the butt. The longer the tail, the older the person is. "

Finally getting useful information, Lux breathed a sigh of relief and ignored the cattle dealer who continued to fiddle with Scarash's vitals. She turned around and came to the back of the group of Scarash.

However, following Lux's movements, these Sklash seemed a little nervous. They all tightened their tails and tucked them up in unison.

"You can't see it!" Lux continued to ask Kalya helplessly, "Their tails are all tucked up!"

"See that sink in the distance? Fill it with water and bring it over." Kalya continued to guide, "Feed them water and whistle, and they will relax - but you have to wait until they start drinking. Go farther away and whistle again, otherwise you may get infected by them.”

Lux nodded upon hearing this, and after filling the sink with water, she quickly carried it in front of Scarash, pulled Ino behind them, hid for about ten steps, and then blew the whistle.

As if it was a conditioned reflex, the Skalas who had just been chewing their cud lowered their heads in unison, buried their entire heads in the water tank, and drank like a whale.

Moreover, just as Kalya reminded them, water came in from the top and water came out from the bottom. After raising their tails behind their buttocks, streams of high-pressure water guns rushed towards the corners of the wall. After washing away a layer of wall skin, they splashed A brown rainbow.

A subtle smell came over, and Lux ​​and Ino couldn't help but change their expressions, and finally covered their mouths.

"Skalash's stomach and kidneys are very strong." Kalya laughed again, "So, their feces and urine are highly concentrated, and the taste is somewhat strong... But don't worry, their thick There is a layer of fine, almost scale-like structure under the skin, which usually does not cause sweating, and they themselves have no smell.”

Seeing Lux's smooth operation, the cattle dealer, who had always looked eager before, finally couldn't help but curl his lips.

Well, I met an expert!

……………………

Finally, Lux and Ino spent most of their savings and bought a young Skarash from a cattle dealer.

According to Kalya, the cattle dealer was quite reliable, at least he didn't cheat Skarash by cutting its tail to make it look younger.

After taking over the reins of Skarash, Lux, who was choked up, didn't want to stay here any longer. After paying an extra sum of money for repairing the wall and filling the soil, she led the Skarash and left the market from the southeast gate.

After packing all the supplies purchased in this market, Lux hung them on the wool felt pad behind the Skarash.

After being loaded, the young Skarash didn't like it much - carrying weight was the only weakness of the slender Skarash. Compared with its amazing size, its carrying capacity didn't seem to be strong at all.

However, after all, it was an animal that had been domesticated by the Shurimans for nearly ten thousand years. Although it shook its head and blew air from its nostrils from time to time, it did not dare to go too far and could only bear everything obediently.

Then, Lux and Ino climbed up and sat on the wool felt pad behind the Skarash. After shaking the reins, Skarash accepted the order and slowly left Bergun with the two people.

Karya's small class: Skarash tail cutting:

Because the younger the Skarash is after adulthood, the better, some unscrupulous vendors will cut the tail of the young Skarash, so that when it grows up, its tail will be shorter than that of the same-age Skarash.

However, even if the tail cutting technology is quite mature, it is still visible to professionals.
