The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 384 Bonfire Market
No matter what Fayse and Cheryl said, Moran wouldn't budge.

"I've been in business for so many years, and I've never encountered such a difficult witch to bargain with. No wonder she wrote 'The Blue Star Business Handbook'!" Faye said with a helpless smile.

"You've read this book too?" Moran asked in surprise.

Within the clan council, this book was just one of the newly added books, and it wasn't promoted like witch magic, so there probably weren't many witches who had read it.

“I recommended it to my mom, and she loves it!” Cheryl said.

Faye nodded: "This book has been a huge help to my business. I used to always get ripped off by goblins, but now I can cheat them in transactions. Although we didn't finalize the profit-sharing agreement for the management card, my sales pitch for packaging the goods was pretty good, wasn't it?"

Moran was stunned. Suddenly she remembered what she had written in "Blue Star Business Handbook". It turned out that the culprit was herself.

This is very embarrassing.

Seeing that Faye looked expectantly at her, Moran could only nod: "Very good."

This assessment is truly accurate.

Friendlyness is a witch's nature. Even though Moran didn't write any tricks of deception in "Blue Star Business Handbook," some business skills are still difficult for witches to accept.

For example, the concept of packaging goods.

But Faye not only learned it, but also summarized a set of persuasive yet genuine packaging techniques.

If she can control the packaging so precisely, Moran guesses she'll be even more precise when swindling those who have swindled her before, like the goblin merchant.

He has truly mastered the "Blue Star Business Handbook".

If the product weren't the core of the transaction, and Moran had complete control over the card trading, then this price negotiation might not have been impossible.

Moran felt a sense of surprise and accomplishment that came from having his expectations, which he had when he wrote the book, fulfilled.

She and Faye had a good discussion about business strategies, exchanged magic seals, and agreed to keep in touch before she reluctantly left.

After Moran and Lilith left, Cheryl asked Faye, "Mom, aren't we supposed to persuade Moran to give the management cards more permissions so that we can also make cards from knowledge and items that other races don't have originality and sell them?"

"Moran is also a witch. Although she is more shrewd than ordinary witches, she would never do anything that would harm the interests of other witches."

Although she currently profits the most from the profit sharing, she also makes us witches who use management cards earn more, just not as much as her.

According to "Blue Star Business Handbook", it was her magic that reduced costs and expanded the market. In this transaction, she was irreplaceable, always in control, and contributed more, so it was reasonable for her to get a larger share.

Foreigners lack original knowledge and items, so she can create cards on her own; she doesn't need our involvement at all.

Nobody wants others to share a piece of the pie when they can handle the entire business themselves.

Knowing that success is impossible, it's better not to ask.

In reality, much of the witches' original knowledge lacks any uniqueness; the management card is indeed a welfare card.

As Faye spoke, she bound the management card.

……

"Moran! Look over there!" Lilith suddenly widened her eyes and looked ahead: "Isn't that a necromancer?"

Moran looked over and saw a black-robed witch squatting in front of a materials stall, picking and choosing. She weighed a dried orc arm in her hand, seemingly quite satisfied. After paying, she handed the arm to a two-meter-tall man with ashen skin behind her. The man then placed the arm directly into the coffin on his back.

The black-robed witch seemed to be preparing to leave, so she climbed onto the coffin and sat down. The man then carried her on his back and continued to the other stalls.

As everyone knows, non-human races are not allowed to come to Chunmi Island.

Besides the witch's summoned creatures and dead servants.

It's true that necromancers are interested in corpse parts; only necromancers regularly maintain the bodies of their undead servants who still have flesh.

That man, or rather, the male corpse, had no life force whatsoever; he was filled with death energy and was likely an undead creature.

Undead creatures cannot become summoned creatures; they can only be undead servants.

Moran watched with curiosity as the witch and the corpse walked away: "Could it be Vasita's mother? I remember she said her mother was a necromancer, right?"

“I don’t see Vasita!” Lilith was still staring at the undead servant. “So humanoid undead servants are this agile! There are a lot of corpse materials at that stall. Come on! Let’s go pick some out. You haven’t made a humanoid undead servant before, have you?”

Moran shook his head: "Where in the academy can I find humanoid corpses as materials? I practiced necromancy using wild beasts and magical creatures."

However, the beasts and magical beast materials she can hunt and the undead servants she makes are generally not very strong.

It also lacks the flexibility of a humanoid dead servant.

Let them fight. If they get hurt or damaged, you'll have to find suitable materials to repair and maintain them. Even if they don't fight, they'll still break down over time. It's better for her to do it herself!

So she only made some spider and bird undead servants to practice necromancy, which could occasionally be used for scouting. She didn't care if they were damaged, as it was easy to find materials for repair and maintenance.

However, her use of necromancy is still very low, and her learning is rather rudimentary. This is partly due to the limited availability of corpses as materials, and partly because necromancy is not very useful to her at the moment.

Lilith pulled her to the stall where the necromancer had just bought something.

Unfortunately, all that's left there are materials made from the corpses of wild beasts and monsters.

"Aren't there any more humanoid corpse materials?" Lilith asked.

“You’re too late,” the witch stall owner said. “Genia bought all the humanoid corpse materials I brought this time! If you want some, come earlier next year and you might be able to find some. I come every year.”

“Next year! Next year we won’t be in the wilderness anymore,” Lilith said disappointedly.

"Once we leave the wilderness, why worry about finding corpses? Head towards the human kingdoms, and you might just be able to find a humanoid corpse in any remote wilderness using the Corpse-Raising Technique."

"But the human kingdoms too close to the wilderness probably don't have many corpses left; I dug them all up and sold them. The good ones went to Ginya, and the bad ones were given to the necromancer apprentices; they weren't picky," the witch stall owner said with a smile.

Lilith and Moran: "..."

They didn't manage to buy any materials for the human-shaped corpse, and instead, the stall owner showed off his money-making tricks.

After leaving the stall, Moran said to Lilith, "That necromancer must really be Vasita's mother. Her mother's name is Ginya."

Vasida wasn't there; she probably already met her mother and came to meet us.

Let's go check out the area around the biggest campfire first!
