Chapter 12: The Wandering Merchant
Pseudo black iron, this can be said to be the highest level item so far, as for why it is not the real black iron level, Tang Ruiyi also has a little guess, in addition to the material is not good enough, it is also because he relies on the ability of the "Nine-Tailed Knife" and the sword gall and Qin Xin to forcibly raise the carving technique to the intermediate level, and there is still a little gap with the real one.
Tang Ruiyi, who was extremely excited, immediately picked up the wolf totem and found Anata.
Seeing the wolf totem that was not ordinary at first glance, she first took it excitedly, and then screamed, obviously seeing the preciousness of the wolf totem.
Anata's face was excited: "No, this is too valuable, I can't take it, black iron grade items! I have never seen any other black iron items except for the 'Carat Shepherd Whip'." β
Tang Ruiyi smiled and shook his head: "You just take it, this thing is useless to me, besides, how can it reflect your love for Abba?"
Anata's eyes blinked, and she said pitifully, "This... No, Abba would break my leg if he knew I had taken such a precious thing!"
Tang Ruiyi smiled bitterly, I didn't expect this kind of oolong to be out of luck this time, it's really a headache.
Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Well, you just say that you made this thing yourself, isn't it?"
Anata's eyes widened suddenly: "Are you a fool when I am my father? I have a few pounds and a few taels, will my father not know? Not to mention carving, I can't do ordinary manual work!"
Well, looking at this Nizi riding on horseback, it is comparable to Genghis Khan's ability to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, hey, how can a good girl think about fighting and killing all day long? But then again, if Anata is proficient in manual work, he will not be able to get out of the horse.
Headache, seeing that Anata was about to burst into tears again, Tang Ruiyi rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, and said helplessly: "Then you just say that I sent it with you, and it should be regarded as a sign of the alliance between our two forces." β
Finally, Anata burst into tears and smiled, "Thank you, big brother, you are the best!" After that, she stood on tiptoe and lightly touched Tang Ruiyi's cheek, and then her face turned red, and the fawn seemed to run away.
After standing silently in the cold wind for half a minute, Tang Ruiyi came back to his senses in a daze, touched his somewhat hot cheeks, shook his head with a wry smile, and turned to leave.
[You have completed the commission "Abba's Gift", beyond the mission requirements, Anata's opinion +30, and you will receive the title: "Hammer Guest"""]
[Hammer Guest: You are the most honored guest of the Hammer Clan, there is no tax on transactions in the territory of the Hammer Clan, and the overall friendship of the Hammer Clan is +10]
Before he could take a closer look at the kiss, the young messenger interrupted him, and the wandering merchant who had gone out to buy had finally returned!
After a successful trade route, the two sick mules have been replaced by bantams that can walk in the swamps, and the quality of the goods transported has improved compared to the previous ones, and all kinds of strange treasures are innumerable.
He was very happy after seeing Tang Ruiyi, he was very happy, eagerly chattering with all kinds of new goods, more powerful heavy crossbows, and chain mail inlaid with iron plates.
Unexpectedly, the wandering merchant actually brought a trade merchant, the trade merchant was an old man with white hair, seeing the large number of good raspberry jam and white bread that Tang Ruiyi had prepared a long time ago, the trade merchant was very satisfied, and immediately chose to trade.
According to his requirements, the purchase price was at the city level, a unit of white bread (about twelve pieces per kilogram) was 2 gold coins, and the price of raspberry jam as a rare luxury was actually twice as high as that of bread, so that 18 gold coins were produced every day, which could basically maintain the normal operation of the kingdom.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Ruiyi hurriedly took out some special items that he had hoarded before, and a large amount of sun-dried wolf patent leather and fatty dried salmon on the banks of the Twin Rivers made the eyes of the wandering merchants glow.
In terms of price, I fought with the wandering merchant for a long time, although I failed to make a bigger profit, but it was not in vain, at least I got some important information.
The wandering merchant explained to Tang Ruiyi that because the nobles had serious comparisons before, including the fur of wild beasts and rare game, they would not consider the actual situation at all in order to maintain the so-called aristocratic image, and there were even ridiculous jokes that their sons were starved to death, and their fathers were still gritting their teeth to buy a useless blanket.
In the past, because the Swamp was firmly occupied by goblins, and the distance was full of bandits, few merchants were willing to come here to do business, but it is precisely because of this that the scarcity is expensive, which is why the price is so high.
Tang Ruiyi realized the true value of the goods on hand this time, the rotten life of the aristocracy opened his eyes and solved his doubts, with such a greedy and stupid ruling class, no wonder there are so many homeless people who would rather settle in the swamp known as the "forbidden land of civilization" than live under the rule of the aristocracy.
The wandering merchant thought about it and split five mid-grade magic crystals and five hundred gold coins from the goods in exchange.
Intermediate magic crystals are very expensive, and the magic power contained in them is generally more than twenty times higher than that of low-level magic crystals, and only in the dangerous places where monsters are raging, basically after getting their hands on them, they are taken by wizards with high mana, and there are very few of them on the market, and the value is higher than that of a light blue equipment.
Tang Ruiyi had some low-level magic crystals on hand, but they were very tight, and the employment fee to maintain the operation of the magic crystal furnace and the magic gibon was not enough, let alone take it out and squander it, and finally had the opportunity to get the intermediate magic crystal, he happily agreed to the transaction, and the two sides exchanged goods and currency.
Things seemed to come together all at once, and in a moment another messenger came running out of breath, still holding a snow-white scarf in his hand:
It turned out that not long ago, a hunter with superb archery skills caught a cherished prey ββββ a three-tailed fox in the back mountain, skinned it, and happily made a scarf and presented it to Tang Ruiyi.
I have to say that although being a king is very tiring, there are still a lot of benefits, Tang Ruiyi put on the scarf beautifully.
[Three-tailed fox scarf (light blue): A well-made beautiful scarf that is both warm and comfortable. Attributes: Increases health regeneration by 1 per hour. γ
In addition, Yan Rong, who has always been keen on mining, has not only excavated an ancient clawed dragon fossil and a large piece of associated silver ore, but several fishermen have also caught a rare wooden leaping fish on the banks of the Twin Rivers, and they can't wait to make a delicious fish soup for him.
γClawed Dragon Fossil (Light Blue): 10 million years ago, these greedy social creatures once bred in the ancient Ice Age, they were the overlords of the amphibious zone, with extremely fast speed and sharp claws, usually living near dark and damp swamps, with a strong sense of territory and desire to mate. Attribute: ???γ
γWood Leaping Fish Soup (Light Blue): This legendary fish that brings good luck only lives in ponds deep in the forest. Attribute: Permanently increases health by 3 after consumption. γ
This kind of intoxicating original ecological food, perennial consumption can play a role in prolonging life, washing the meridians and cutting the marrow, will there be a rich man on the earth who uses snakes to soak wine and eat deer antler velvet raw, Tang Ruiyi carefully scooped a spoonful of fish soup and put it in his mouth, the restrained umami was released after touching the saliva, and the slippery and soft taste conquered his taste buds in an instant, and the system prompted him to add 3 points of life.
For a while, Savaka, Shenfeng, Lulanco, and the militia (Mojibone: What about me, what about me!), all became the objects of the peasants' stammering, not to look at their honest appearance, their hearts were like a mirror, all kinds of benefits were stuffed into their hands, and there were all kinds of small gifts to their liking, just like he never knew that the mysterious Savaka actually liked butterfly specimens, and Shenfeng, who had always been forbidden to anyone, actually liked to collect strange ores......
Just when Tang Ruiyi doubted his ability, a hurried figure suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, trotting to him along the wilderness on both sides.
It turned out to be a militiaman in charge of guarding the storeroom, and he had a bitter face: "I don't know what's going on, a lot of bread in the storeroom is missing!"
"What!" Tang Ruiyi was dumbfounded, "You mean, everything else is fine, but there is a lot less bread?"
The militiaman scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yes." β
His ears were red with shame, His Majesty had entrusted such an important matter to himself, and he had actually messed up, and he was about to draw his sword and kill himself in his heart.
Tang Ruiyi hurriedly stopped this foolish militiaman, and he criticized: "How can you commit suicide because of a trivial matter? The most urgent thing in the case of theft is to find out the root cause of the problem, and take me to see it!"
