"I didn't expect that in the Mammoth Navy, I would be able to get such a nice thing! They don't seem to be as barren as they used to be! Barrett, who said this, touched his chin, "Wait a minute, let Clematis and Claudia and the two of them, and divide the situation by themselves!" We don't need the few left, anyway. ”

If the original 'Silver Mist Shirt' has gained some highlights with the silver mist that does not obstruct his vision, it is finally enough to be a good cost-effective magic armor. So now such a revision can be said to greatly enhance its value. Regardless of whether the fog can move or not, it can immediately turn passive into active in battle. Not to mention the various tactical changes that come with it. In comparison, the reduction in the number of uses is not worth mentioning at this time.

For Kleimatis, this allows her to get some cover when attacking. Claudia is also able to effectively defend herself when she is in trouble with the enemy. Even if there was any advantage or disadvantage, Barrett felt that it was inconvenient for him to speak. So I threw this problem to the two eldest ladies who had a good relationship to solve it by themselves.

"Indeed, let them see for themselves later!" After setting her sights on the two friends who were resuscitating the wounded, Rielly also chose not to cause trouble. But then she turned her gaze to Barrett: "So how are you going to distribute the two items before?" Don't tell me I'm going to sell it for money. ”

"The 'Rock Boots' are good for the anvil, and you guys use the 'Shift Anklet' to work better anyway." Barrett understood that the mage in front of him was deliberately causing trouble for himself, but he didn't care, "I'll take the 'Great Power Belt' for the time being!" Anyway, I don't have a better option for my waist gear right now. It's just a compensation for the 'physical belt' that I contributed to the team before. This will save you an opening spell when you fight in the future. Why not! ”

"Speaking of compensation. Now the anvil owes the part to the team, I really don't know when it will be able to pay it off! Rielly glanced at the dwarf with a wicked grin, "That guy looks like he's going to sign the Charter." ”

Hearing this, Barrett immediately glared at Rielly: "Don't say it so meanly, okay." His contribution to this trip to the Northland was good, and he was more or less part of it. Next, as long as you continue to work hard, sooner or later you will be able to pay off the arrears and enter the profit dividend stage. ”

"Sooner or later is the adjective. It has always been unreliable. Rielly tilted her head and said in a strange voice with a wicked grin.

Barrett, who was repeatedly targeted by the mage, glared at the other party again angrily: "You have the time to talk about it, I think you should identify the remaining loot first!" ”

"That's fine! We'll talk about that later. As she said this, Rielly immediately picked up the remaining two items that had glowed with magic during the preliminary inspection. However, after completing the identification, she threw the light blue cloak to Barrett as if she was deliberately awkward: "Phantom cloak, this thing is similar to the brooch on Noodle's body." However, the number of times of use has increased to 4 times a day. It doesn't look like a common curiosity like the 'Great Power Belt'! Barrett, you're right. The current Northland is indeed a little different from the news we have been exposed to before! ”

"Could it be a new mage organization, and the kind that is good at creating?" Speaking of this, Barrett shook his head slightly, "But even if such an organization appears in the Northlands, it should be in the Seven Cities Alliance, right?" Even the possibility of a noble council is much smaller, how can it be the turn of the Mammoth Dynasty? Look at the mutual trust between them is much deeper than we thought before! ”

You should know that magic items related to combat are more important strategic resources than ordinary weapons and equipment. So if two organizations exchange ideas in the form of private auctions, it often means that they have entered a honeymoon period - for example, in reality, a failed 'model of peace' program in the old days, and the procurement plan of the 'Black Hawk'.

You must know that the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'-style war can be maintained. The most important thing is that the two countries should not be able to form an alliance that is too close. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the remaining family to resist the long-term joint operation of the two. Referring to Boreham's intentions, Barrett was worried for the first time about the Earl's decision.

"Strategic goods?" Rielie guessed the reason for Barrett's silence. At this time, he immediately deliberately diverted the topic: "This reminds me of the dissatisfaction and incomprehension expressed by some players on the offline forum about the high cost of magic equipment in the game. ”

"I've seen those posts too, and they're quite interesting." Barrett couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

One of the points of those posts is that they think that 3 gold coins can make a civilian family live at the price level for a year, how can it be possible to pull out a magic weapon casually and the price can be thousands. It's just that they never pay attention to how the so-called 3 gold coins in the game come from the annual living expenses.

That's an extra cost for the peasants on the estate. These people simply do not understand what proportion of the expenses they really need to spend on what they need to survive in a small, subsistence economy - what the peasants eat and grow themselves. The seeds were kept by themselves, and the clothes were bought and the cloth was made by themselves. In this case, the additional cost is 3-4 gold coins per year - such as the purchase and repair of necessary iron tools, as well as the expenditure of salt and other items that cannot be produced on their own. Therefore, once you change to a town resident, the cost of this money will increase several times.

"Yes! That is, those guys don't have the ability to sneak into big auctions. Otherwise. Their three views will definitely suffer a greater impact. Arielly was immediately angry when she said this, knowing that when she uploaded what she had seen at the auction, she was met with the cynicism of a considerable number of trolls.

The guys didn't believe Rielly's description at all, and dismissed her article as a mindless conjecture. Many of them questioned how those nobles could have obtained such a huge amount of savings based on the level of consumption shown in the game.

It did not clear to them that it was possible to hoard large quantities of treasure at a time when all speculation and industry were underdeveloped - i.e., it was extremely foolish to lock up large amounts of "dead money" in the vaults after the rise of finance and large-scale industry. Rich people with a modicum of wisdom will invest in it. So that money can make money.

And when all this was not widespread, the channels for "investment" were not clear, so it was normal for rulers to hide a lot of treasure. Therefore, the gold in the aristocratic treasury, far exceeding the total economic output of the entire region in the whole year, is a very normal behavior. Because the aristocracy not only constantly exploited the whole region, but also liked to only enter and not leave. The family's coffers may have been accumulated over generations. The wealth is staggering -- and this aspect of Boreham seems to be the best proof of the opposite! Who made the industry and commerce here flourish (laughs).

Eli arguably debated with those guys for more than ten pages on this issue, trying to use her expertise to convince those who lacked relevant theories - in a sense, it was also an act of her superiority. But apparently her efforts have never paid off as much as she wanted, and it is inevitable that she will still be so indignant.

"I helped you a lot in this matter! At that time, you bothered me every day. Barrett's words were somewhat ridiculous.

You know, some of the people in that forum who thought they had some insight also gave special examples of the level of productivity in the Middle Ages and the accumulation of materials before the Industrial Revolution. I wanted to refute Rieli's point of view. However, they never took into account that in a world with supernatural powers, it was not only "real-world industries" such as agriculture and industry that created wealth. In the fantasy world, there are also their own "special industries".

First and foremost of this is dungeon adventures: the source of this wealth is often the ancient magical empire of civilization. Or the gold gems that the underground monsters dig in the veins. This is a great source of wealth - they are not industrial, there is no typical "production", but real wealth (magical objects, fine creations, hard currency gold) flows into the world.

This is followed by the exploration of the planes: the secondary planes, the elemental planes, the astral planes, the upper and lower boundaries...... Of course, this is an activity that can only be carried out by the big people at the top. But after the big people have acquired rare treasures and a lot of wealth, they will also exchange and consume. So a lot of wealth flowed into the world.

Finally, of course, there is the creation of magic. All kinds of professions can make magical items. Magical potions can even convert one substance into another. In other words, these industries are the prerogative of the big guys, which explains why wealth is so tight among the common people and over-inflated in the circles of the big guys.

The above related explanations are naturally indispensable for Barrett to help Rieley with advice. But as he said, if it weren't for the mage's urging for three days and two ends, Barrett wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to those who were idle and panicked—to put it bluntly, someone loved to show off his superiority.

"Thank you very much for that. Otherwise, those guys are really hard to deal with. Speaking of this, Rielly snorted with some disdain: "Those who don't know actually equate the value of magical items with the original luxury. It's just speechless. ”

That's right, even a few of them were persuaded by Rielly in front of them. But they immediately raised another question: 'Calculate the rate of hoarding wealth, and then think about the value of breaking the bank to get a magical equipment...... Frankly, would you do that? The family has hoarded assets for dozens or hundreds of years to let you play like this? Can this magic equipment make your home in good shape? ’

"That's because they didn't turn around because of their different worldviews. The powerful spellcaster here is the personal equivalent of a supercomputer, a fully automated factory, and a strategic nuclear submarine. The power of the individual is greater than the power of the 'people'. In this world, it is the heroes, or the will of the demon gods, not the so-called people, that drives the development of history. Barrett, who had heard that from Rielly's mouth, naturally came to such a conclusion.

Even if it's been a few days since I entered this second world. But there are still many players who actually equate this magic item with a luxury item. They actually think that spending money (for the nobles and big powers, many necessary daily necessities are self-produced or can be collected, but the huge ones are actually bought with money and nothing) to buy strategically important magical equipment, it is a "loser" rather than an "investment"!

They never thought that in a world where it was possible for a single force to rise to the top of an army, and a top powerhouse could hold up a country. How valuable is the equipment that can improve the strength of the strong! What are gold coins for? It's about buying things that are worth buying, and magic equipment is the hardest commodity! Not to mention high-level magical equipment like the Holy Avenger! That's the equivalent of a super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the old era! Or maybe it's a convergence of weapons. So these should be equated with arms deals, and even some of them at the strategic level.

That's why Barrett felt that the relationship between the Mammoth Dynasty and the Council of Nobles was too close. There is a distance between such a deal and the way they would have gotten along with each other in the past, unless there are other more powerful forces behind their backs, or put a lot of pressure on them.

"If it weren't for you, Barrett, I wouldn't have been able to shut those guys alone." Rielly thanked her quite sincerely this time - that alone shows how strong someone's potential desire to win is.

Barrett, who recovered from his memories, smiled at this time: "I don't want to see what the relationship between the two is." I can't help you, but I can help. ”

As soon as he said this, Barrett immediately remembered that he might have been misinterpreted by others. Immediately, he urged: "The last strange thing left, mage, you should quickly see what the effect is!" ”

"You mean this thing?" Rielly, who also deliberately avoided the words just now, shook the pendant in her hand with her finger: "I don't have much information about it. However, it can be confirmed that it is a special strange object specially designed to strengthen the exclusive class ability of the lantern bearer. In other words, it may not play a role in our hands. ”

"That's the only way to sell, and it's not that easy to sell." Lalu, who was originally quietly obedient on the side, suddenly opened his mouth at this time and startled the two of them. (To be continued.) )
