In fact, the patriarch of the Hanshan tribe was not wrong to think so, if it weren't for An Xu and his party seeing Qiao Qiao in the square, their brother and sister really couldn't easily earn money to buy weapons, although such weapons are not expensive, but on average, they cost about two gold coins.

These dozens of weapons are already close to a hundred gold coins, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

"Patriarch, you just accept it, this is also a little bit of the children's heart, I heard that you are now defending against sand monsters here, and the most important thing is to let everyone improve their strength!" An Xu persuaded.

"That'...... Thank you so much! The patriarch lamented that these weapons, their tribe really needed them too much, the defense of the sand monsters was good, and the warriors often paid a heavy price when they went to battle with crude weapons.

Since the appearance of the sand monsters, their tribe has shrunk by one-third of the population, and this is still their strategy of evasion, if they can equip the warriors of the tribe with sharp weapons, they can also have a little more confidence when encountering the sand monsters.

An Xu noticed, in addition to gratitude on the wrinkled face of the patriarch, there was some regret in the eyes of looking at these weapons.

An Xu knew why, because this batch of weapons, An Xu was built according to the size of ordinary humans, and the people here were tall and burly, and these weapons seemed a little small.

It's not that it can't be used, but it's definitely a little uncomfortable.

"The patriarch thinks these weapons are too small, right?" An Xu smiled slightly.

The patriarch was stunned, this young man's observation was so keen, and it was said that people who were good at observation were often not good at talking, but this young man spoke decently, and he was still paying attention to the details of his expression at the same time, which was rare.

How did he know that An Xu used to be a stuffy gourd, and he knew that he was the captain, and the team was full of lively young people, which caused his personality to become a lot more cheerful.

"To make you laugh, the old man really thought, what a good weapon this is, if it can be a little bigger, it will be perfect!" The patriarch looked at the large pile of weapons around him, and his eyes were full of yearning.

"If you want a weapon of a larger size, it's actually not impossible, it's not a secret, I'm the forger who forges these weapons!" An Xu thought about it, and told the patriarch in front of him the truth.

His goal on this trip was sand iron, but he was unfamiliar with the place, and if he wanted to collect a large amount of sand iron, he naturally needed the help of the locals.

Mercenaries are similar to businessmen, they have always paid attention to the exchange of interests, and since they want others to help, they have to come up with what others are interested in.

And weapons and equipment are An Xu's bargaining chips, he believes that the other party will not refuse, and the two sides have a good impression of meeting.

Hearing An Xu's metaphorical words, the patriarch has lived for such a long time, how can he not understand, and said with a smile: "You have come from afar, there must be something important, you might as well talk about it, if it is within the scope of your ability, our Hanshan tribe will definitely help." ”

The patriarch didn't say it too much, An Xu still underestimated the attractiveness of weapons and equipment, which was the guarantee of their survival, and it was worth paying a big price.

It was precisely because the weapons and equipment were so precious that the patriarch was worried that An Xu would make some difficult requests.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's like this, as I just said, I'm a forger, and I was in urgent need of a forging material some time ago, this kind of material is not available in us, only in the desert area, which is why our group went here, just to collect some such materials!" An Xu said frankly.

The patriarch showed a clear look, which made sense, if An Xu just blindly helped them without asking for anything in return, it would make people feel very strange.

This reason can also explain why An Xu and the others are strangers here.

"I don't know what materials you need? We people here don't know how to forge, and we don't know much about this aspect of things! The patriarch muttered, if it was a common thing, he could gather the people of the tribe to collect it.

"That's it, patriarch, please take a look!" An Xu took out a palm-sized piece of sand iron, which was already the only stock he had left, and this piece alone was enough to create a whole set of Silver Dawn.

"This ...... Isn't it sand? The old patriarch took the sand iron, carefully confirmed it, and found that this was a strange stone that could occasionally be found in the desert, because it was particularly hard, and I didn't know what special effects it had, so everyone never cared.

I didn't expect this inconspicuous 'stone' to be a precious forging material.

"Yes, this material is called sand iron on our side, and a small amount of it can increase the hardness of the equipment, and it is a good forging material!" An Xu explained that he was not afraid that the people here would sit on the ground and raise the price after understanding the value of Shatie.

Because, they don't know how to forge at all, these things can only reflect their value when they are in the hands of the forger, and if nothing else, An Xu is probably the only forger here.

While there are portals to the Moon Forest, and perhaps they can trade these things to Hidden Moon City for the problems they need, trade doesn't happen overnight!

They haven't even formed a form of trade here, and when such an idea arises, I don't know how long it will be later, at that time, An Xu has already obtained enough sand and iron to return to Hidden Moon City, and what does it have to do with him.

Secondly, on the other side of the portal is a world with a much higher level of civilization than here, children will not think about it so much, and those adults may not be willing to expose the existence here, in other words, they will definitely contact it cautiously first, and this process of understanding will also take a long time.

Therefore, An Xu has self-confidence.

And he doesn't want to cheat with these bold tribesmen, both sides take what they need, wouldn't everyone be happy, and let the two sides maintain a good relationship.

If the other party knows that An Xu deliberately said that Sha Tie was worthless in the future, even if he didn't say it because of the relationship, I am afraid that he would be dissatisfied with them, which is not what An Xu wants to see.

An Xu's honesty made the patriarch's favor of him increase again, he took the sand iron in his hand and thought for a while, and said: "This kind of sand iron is not very rare, but because everyone doesn't know what it does, they didn't deliberately collect it, but I don't know how much you want?" ”

An Xu estimated it and replied: "This piece of sand and iron, it is estimated that it will be counted as one copy, I estimate that I will have to collect two hundred copies to barely meet the requirements!" We're new to the city, and we're going to need your help, and of course I'm going to pay you what you need, including the weapons you need!" ”

The patriarch was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, you sent these two children back, this kindness, we shouldn't have made such a request, but these weapons are too important to the clan, you know, those sand monsters ......"

An Xu waved his hand and said solemnly: "Send Xiao Rui and Qiao Qiao home, you have already given us warm hospitality, and this is enough!" It's a different thing from this matter, I'm not only a forger, but also a mercenary, in your way here, it's an equivalent exchange, and the items you need are exchanged for the items I need, so that the relationship can last for a long time, patriarch, you should understand what I mean! ”

"Hehe, equivalent exchange, this word is very interesting, this place is too remote, it is almost impossible to communicate with the outside world, and I really want to go to the outside world to see if I have the opportunity to be old!" The patriarch sighed, and then said: "Just do as you say, tonight is your welcome party, let's not talk about these for the time being, I will ask everyone to help you collect this kind of sand and iron early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Then I'm sorry for you!" An Xu said happily, with the help of the Hanshan tribe, the process of collecting sand and iron will undoubtedly be much faster, and he can return as soon as possible.

"Come, drink!" The patriarch put a large jar full of wine on the table, looking like he was not drunk and did not return.

The arrival of An Xu and the others not only sent back the two children, but also brought hope for the survival of the tribe, which made the patriarch extremely important.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" An Xu is also in a good mood, and the wine here is really good, it is rare to have a chance, it is better to relax!

Around the campfire, at the request of the crowd, Jojo once again sang a beautiful song, and the desert in the distance, the wind was still roaring, but this place became a haven of tranquility.

The fire shines on everyone's face, reflecting the smiling faces, although they may face a battle in the next moment, but at least, they are happy now.

Human beings are inherently a creature full of hope and longing.
