The properties of the Nangong Brothers' stores have also reached the following levels:

Weapon Shop: Quality 37, Charisma 54!

Armor Shop: Quality 38, Charm 24!

The weapons and armor they make are pretty good......

But!

It could be even better!

The Nangong brothers have complained more than once that the current quality of iron ore in Dragon Stepping Stone Village is very average, and the inferior iron ore has limited their level.

Li Ze didn't have time before, but this time, Li Ze was ready to solve this problem.

The reason why Li Ze intends to be the first to solve the quality problem of iron ore is that he clearly knows the cause and solution of the problem, and the other reason is coincidence.

It just so happened that the Adventurers' Guild's bulletin board refreshed a quest, a quest related to iron ore.

Mission: Annihilate the Demon Prospecting Team! The quest rewards 5,000 dinars and 100 town points.

After a little understanding of the relevant information, it turned out that in a valley not far from the Dragon's Stepping Stone Village, the Demon Clan's prospecting team found high-quality iron ore.

Originally, that piece of iron ore was relatively close to the Dragon's Stepping Stone Village, and it was far away from the demon's nest, so it stands to reason that the demons would not rush to a place so close to humans.

But this piece of iron ore is not ordinary, this piece of iron ore is actually accompanied by black iron ore!

Black iron ore, one of the finest iron ores, tough, heavy and has strong anti-magic properties, it is not an exaggeration to say that black iron ore is a metal version of dragon scales.

The ironclad troops made of black iron ore can even be invincible in the world!

Of course, black iron ore production is scarce, and only the human kingdom has raised an army of black iron ore iron armor at its peak in history.

This black iron army once made the demons tremble, but then the new king of the defeated family advanced lightly and buried this invincible army.

Now, whether it is the human kingdom or the demon forces, there is no longer a formed black iron army.

It's not that black iron ore is so scarce that it can't be armed, but because black iron ore is too expensive!

Adventurers and wealthy knights were also keen to build black iron armor, black iron helmet shields, and the like for themselves. Anyone who finds black iron ore will sell it to a merchant blacksmith or the like for a decent sum of money.

After the price of black iron ore was speculated, even the king could not afford to raise a black iron army.

Black iron wasn't a necessity anyway, so I replaced it with another armor.

The royal power cannot restrict the use and trading of black iron ore by civilian armed forces, and all the black iron ore produced by the kingdom is used sporadically.

There were a few royal guards, nobles, freelancers, mercenaries and adventurers.

The human side is keen on the price speculation of black iron ore, and the same is true for the demon side.

Therefore, when it was discovered that the iron ore near the Dragon's Stepping Stone Village was actually accompanied by black iron, the demon forces decided to take the risk and occupy this iron mine close to human territory.

At present, there are only a small number of prospecting teams of demons in the vicinity of the iron mine.

And Li Ze's task is to recapture this iron mine that should belong to humans before the demon reinforcement army arrives and builds fortifications!

The mission is very clear, and the absolute strength of the opponent is not strong, just a demon forward prospecting team.

5,000 dinars, 100 town points, and the rewards are generous.

However, Li Ze frowned, knowing that this task was not simple.

Iron ore is an important strategic resource.

Black iron ore is a rare metal that can make the best armor.

This temptation is big enough!

It is precisely because this temptation is big enough that the demons will risk trying to seize the iron ore near the stepping stone village.

Li Ze knew that even if he led the team to exterminate the demon prospecting team and complete the task, the battle would not end simply.

But Li Ze also knew that he had to go!

The location of the iron mine is too close to the stepping stone village!

At such a close distance from the Dragon's Stepping Stone Village, there was a demon stronghold, which Li Ze absolutely could not tolerate.

As the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, and it is impossible for the demons to be arrogant in such a close place to the Dragon's Stepping Stone Village.

Li Ze immediately organized a crusade team, and this time the crusade team, Li Ze's elite men did their best!

After the team was organized, Li Ze gave everyone half a day to prepare.

At the same time, Li Ze himself also had to prepare some things.

It's been a long time since I've gone out on an adventure, so Li Ze has to prepare some props for adventure.

Before, there was no professional grocery store in Dragon Stepping Stone Village, so many things were amateur products prepared by himself, but now there is a grocery store opened by Black Lotus Claudia, and Li Ze naturally has to take care of the business.

After all, having professional adventure props can be of great help to adventure.

Coming to the Black Lotus grocery store, Li Ze casually checked the properties.

Li Ze remembered that the attributes of the Black Lotus grocery store before were: quality 20, charm 40.

It seems that it is the same as the crimson hotel, but also because of the beautiful hostess, which leads to the high charm attribute of the store.

But this time, Li Ze was quite surprised after checking the attributes.

Now the attribute value of the Black Lotus Grocery Store has actually become: quality 60, charm 40!

The charm has not changed, but the quality has tripled!

Li Ze walked into the store and saw the proprietress Black Lotus Claudia placing the goods, so Li Ze also went up to help.

While working and chatting, Black Lotus thanked Li Ze and said, "Thank you for the help of the village elder, I'm still a little worried about how these big guys can be put on the shelves." ”

Li Ze said with a smile: "The effort of a hand is not enough to worry about." By the way, how has your business been doing lately? ”

Speaking of business, Black Lotus naturally showed a satisfied smile and said: "The passenger flow of Stepping Stone Village is much larger than I expected, and the adventurers' enthusiasm for adventure is also very high. ”

Li Ze nodded, "Well, that's good." By the way, I think your store seems to have improved a lot lately. ”

Black Lotus said proudly: "I am the best grocery merchant in the association, and the quality of the goods must be good!" In the beginning, I only brought some simple basic goods, but in the last two replenishments, I have brought in all the good goods that I care about. ”

I see, this can explain why the quality of the Black Lotus grocery store has soared.

Li Ze asked with interest: "Oh, are there any good adventure products in the store, can you recommend a few to me?" ”

"Of course there is, my lord, you see, this is my own invention of the small oil storage bottle, the oil is placed in a safe small bottle, when you use it, open the lid, rub it here, the fuse can be automatically ignited. Wouldn't it be convenient to light a fire in the wild? How many months can this vial last? And it is waterproof and moisture-proof, and can be recycled, so it is highly recommended! ”
