Chapter 140: Blue Bronze
All the way from the west of the Xingzhu Empire to the west, and then to the Federation, after a long detour, from the southwesternmost territory of the Federation, [Dahnli Territory], to the westernmost road into the Land of Chaos.
This operation did not encounter any dangers and obstacles, and after spending a lot of time on the road, Su Qiran's 12345 mercenary group finally arrived at the [Ten Thousand Deer City] in the chaotic land.
However, when they entered the city with a group of 100 people, they attracted a lot of attention, after all, there were very few people entering the city from that direction, and in the past, there were only farmers near the city and caravans from the Federation......
Farmers with low status rarely have the opportunity to enter the city, and after the Necromantic Tribulation, those more daring businessmen rarely come here, so Su Qiran's team is quite large, and many forces in the city are quite concerned about this team of professionals who suddenly appeared.
"I'll go and choose a place to be the headquarters, Mo Xiaoye, you go to the neighborhood to inquire if there is a [Azurite Mine] here. After Su Qiran entered the city, he stood on the street that was still relatively lively, and said to Mo Xiaoye beside him.
Azurite can be refined from the most basic magic material, azurite, azurite itself excellent magic compatibility and relatively low price, making it the most widely used magic material.
Azurite is also the basic resource of magic technology, in the Xingzhu Empire, all azurite ore is owned by the empire, even if it is "outsourced" by the local nobles, the ultimate control of the mine is tightly held by the empire.
"Okay......" Mo Xiaoye replied without enthusiasm.
The large army continued to walk towards the corner of the city, while Mo Xiaoye blended into the chaotic streets and alleys of Wanlu City alone.
Where to go to say hello...... By the way, it seems that the blue bronze can also be used to forge low-level mage weapons...... Let's go to a weapon shop or something......
Although the goal was clear, the labyrinthine streets of the Troublelands kept him running around for a long time before he finally found a small weapons shop on an unknown street corner.
Logs form the basic structure of the house, and the special earth and stone materials make a sturdy house, and as soon as you step into the house, the sound of ping-pong iron is endless.
The young boy was shirtless, his bronzed muscles were quite powerful, and he pounded the burning red iron hard, sweat running down his chest muscles......
A series of stern middle-aged men stood not far away, looking like they should be the owner of this shop.
"Hello......" Mo Xiaoye knocked lightly on the log door.
The shopkeeper, who was seriously staring at the boy's every movement, reacted and put on a flattering smile as if his face had changed.
"Childe wants something, our store has a variety of weapons, swords, guns, axes, bows......"
"Is there a low-level staff?" Mo Xiaoye put his hands behind his back, with a confident smile on his face, but he also had a bit of the momentum of a child-in-lawโalthough he was a child-in-law himself.
"Yes, may I ask what Childe needs?" The shopkeeper enthusiastically dragged out a box of magic staff from the warehouse, Mo Xiaoye glanced at it roughly, these are the lowest-level magic staffs, only the crystal ball fixed at the top of the staff is made of [blue crystal], and the staff body is mostly made of the most ordinary wooden materials.
Mo Xiaoye frowned, "Can the body of the magic wand be made of better materials, such as blue bronze and other materials with strong magic compatibility......"
An unnatural flash flashed across the owner's face, but it was quickly masked by a smile on his face. "If the wand body is made of blue copper, the overall quality of the magic wand is not too heavy, which is not good for a beginner magician, and it takes a lot of effort to perform a magic wand all the time......
"That's not a problem, my brother is naturally strong, and if it weren't for his talent for magic, my martial father would not have been willing to let him learn magic. Mo Xiaoye's face is not red when he tells lies, and his heart is not beating, it is simply easy to come.
โ...... Then Childe should you change the material, such as the magic compatibility of [Black Copper] is stronger......" The shopkeeper recommended with a smile.
"My brother has just started his magic practice, and this magic wand still can't be made too well, otherwise it will be wasted when he has to change it in the future, and you know, the price of black copper is too expensive. Mo Xiaoye's face suddenly felt cold, "If you are told to use blue copper, you will use blue copper, do you think there is a problem with my decision, uncle?"
If you can't do it, you can only come to the hard one......
As an advanced professional, the momentum overwhelmingly forced the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper didn't seem to have a high level of cultivation, and he took a few steps back in a row with fear, and his face was a little pale.
Alas, I met unreasonable again......
The shopkeeper could only cry with a sad face, "Childe, you don't know, seven months ago, the adults of [Lin Shen Valley] monopolized materials such as blue copper and mythril, and we haven't had blue copper for a long time......"
Mo Xiaoye's brows furrowed slightly, it seems that some of the forces here have also realized the importance of those ores.
"Then forget it, you tattered uncles can't look down on it. Mo Xiaoye casually found a reason and walked out quickly.
The boy who had been striking the iron in silence suddenly raised his head, with a slight humiliation in his eyes.
"Father, he's such a bully......"
"Shut up and hit your iron seriously. The shopkeeper scolded with a cold face, "If you can't complete today's goal, you won't have to eat at night." โ

After Su Qiran chose the location of the headquarters in the south of the city and bought them at a large price, Su Qiran actually demolished all the walls near the manors and connected the manors together.
When they were mercenaries in Nine Seal City before, Su Qiran and Mo Xiaoye's strength was considered to be the top among the mercenaries, and under their leadership, they had completed more than a dozen bounty tasks in a few months, and in this chaotic place where they were much behind, the most basic action funds were not worried for the time being.
In the temporary conference hall, that is, the main house of a manor, Mo Xiaoye had already attached the news he had just inquired about.
โ...... It's a bit troublesome, what is the strength of that Lin Shengu?" Su Qiran pondered for a while.
"How do I know. Mo Xiaoye couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"I've heard that. A middle-aged uncle suddenly interjected, he was the paladin recruited by Su Qiran, the uncle was very kind, and he was also a good old man who was familiar with him in the Mercenary Guild of Nine Seals City, Mo Xiaoye was puzzled for a long time, how did Su Qiran deceive such a good old man.
"When I was discussing with the original owner of the manor here just now, he told me that there are five great forces in Wanlu City, among which Lin Shen Gu is the leader, and the valley master of Lin Shen Valley seems to be a great sage who has been famous in the chaotic land for a long time......!"
