The Fire and Water Alliance's invasion of the Wind Nation Sparrow did not burn the plains as quickly as people thought, and the Wind Country's own full resistance, coupled with the decisive dispatch of troops from the Land of Light, led to the rapid maintenance of the battle line between the two sides on the inland edge of Sparrow.

The war broke out for a while, and according to the judgment of many military experts, such a stalemate would last for a long time, until finally the two sides calmly ceased fighting, and the world still had to return to peace.

However, there are also other military experts who disagree with this view, believing that in order to prevent Edel's full participation, the two countries must launch a decisive battle as soon as possible.

Different camps and opinions, each with its own reasoning, but no one can convince the other.

Unlike the people who are concerned, ordinary people only care about their own lives, but it is clear that the war in a foreign country has had an impact on their lives.

Even with the intervention and control of the Edel royal family, the price of Edel is still skyrocketing, but at the same time, it is also in short supply.

The most well-known are of course the various necessities of survival, and food and so on are the most obvious.

But if someone carefully counts which field this battlefield has had the greatest impact, it is actually in terms of munitions.

Armor was previously unpopular in the civilian market, but now it has become a scarce resource to be snapped up. The major chambers of commerce are all trying to collect supplies, and they immediately sell those low-grade armors that are usually regarded as garbage at a higher price, but they are still in short supply.

This is only a phenomenon that appears in the civilian market, and in the field of standardized munitions, the civilian market is originally a dispensable place, and the real focus has always been on the bulk procurement of the state and the temple, followed by the private armies of the giants of all parties, and then to places like the mercenary association and the warrior association.

and then to the more advanced armor weapons, which were originally out of the civilian market, but now even those who thought they were rich were difficult to touch.

The top-of-the-line armor is originally sky-high, and there are only a few people who can be qualified and capable of owning it at any time, and the price change is not big now. But those who are in the middle but not the top are now completely sought-after.

Who would spare their lives in this world, and you military strategists and critics will not be able to say that the war will not come? Even if we dare to believe it, then we must first dare to believe in your capital!

These excellent armor that can protect them from crises, and weapons that can ensure their superiority, are the capital that can give them confidence.

So for a while, in this field that ordinary people can't reach, all kinds of sky-high transactions emerge in an endless stream, and they originally belong to the kind of goods that big people can't afford to buy small people.

In the Holy City, which is still peaceful and peaceful, Jerome, the master of armor, is reporting to Catherine on his latest earnings with a blushing face.

Normally, an old and serious man like Master Jerome would rarely behave out of shape, but now his voice was a little trembling, not to mention the excitement on his face that anyone could see.

"Your Highness, that's how it is this month's earnings. I really didn't expect that batch of armor to cause such a sensation, just a hundred pieces, and the profit from a hundred pieces is equivalent to a week's worth of our previous industries. This is simply incredible, if it weren't for Your Highness's request that only a hundred pieces be released, I think our profit this month would definitely set a record......"

Jerome's body trembled with his voice, and he didn't know that he thought that the master was almost in the ground, but in fact his body was tougher than that of most young people.

Catherine sat upright, and as long as she was in front of people, she never allowed herself to have the slightest problem with her manners.

But it doesn't seem to include Jerry, even when the two didn't know each other, she was bumped into her arms by that guy, and she lost all her manners......

Catherine couldn't help but think of Jerry, and the two hadn't seen each other for almost a month since they had been separated in the Library of Light that day.

As far as she knew, Jerry's movements were very steady these days, and he stayed in Team Zero's station during the day, as if he was training with Lisa on the gang of gentlemen. At night, Jerry would run to the secret factory and stay there until dawn before returning to Team Zero.

Originally, according to Catherine's thoughts, Jerry would definitely come to her after he returned, because she could see that the guy had improved greatly after being guided by herself and guided by the Seventh Temple, and it seemed that he was already on the verge of advancing to the third level of warrior.

In such a critical moment, any fighter must have strengthened himself as his primary goal, and Jerry is certainly no exception. Then he should have come and asked him to stop the work of transforming the armor for the time being, but he didn't.

Whenever Catherine's men went to the secret factory, all the armor that had been sent the day before had been reformed and was still neatly arranged.

If it weren't for the war in the neighboring country, Catherine's time would have become extremely tight, and she would have liked to see how that guy did it.

Before, the two of them agreed to transform thirty pieces of armor a day, which seemed quite rare to Catherine. This is the reason why she would make such a contract with Jerry in good faith, and give him a tall sixty percent stake in the Chamber of Commerce.

Jerry is a talent she wants to grasp, but no matter how powerful a person's ability is, he can't support a chamber of commerce.

Next, as long as she holds the secret of Jerry's armor transformation, she can expand the scale in other names, and then this Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce will go out of business.

This is what Catherine thought at the beginning, to get to this point on the path of the saint, of course she will not be such a simple-minded person.

While some of the things that happened later, especially the two encounters in the Underground Canyon and the Library of Light, gave her a different perspective on Jerry, these business considerations didn't change either.

But Jerry still gave her a big surprise, in such a tight schedule, she had to train by herself, and she had to mess around with the gentlemen of Team Zero, and she had to complete the transformation of thirty pieces of armor every day...... She really didn't know how Jerry managed to keep so many things organized.

"Hmph, this guy must have lied to me in the first place. Thirty pieces a day have to do their best, what four hundred and fifty pieces a week just work hard to complete, I think he is simply at ease!"

Catherine thought to herself, and she didn't know why the thought of Jerry made her heart flutter violently even in the face of assassination.

But this guy can really surprise himself!

Chain mail, which cost only two gold coins, could be sold for a hundred gold coins, which was much more than the ten times the profit she had estimated at the beginning.

Although there is still the effect of her intention to control the quantity and a little hype, even if these factors are excluded, this deal that she agreed to at the beginning of the inspiration has still become her biggest surprise in recent times.

"Your Highness?"

"Hmm, is there anything else going on with Master Jerome?"

Catherine, who was thinking about things by herself, suddenly found that Jerome was still in the room, and her face could not help but turn red, she had completely forgotten the old man.

Jerome was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he could do anything, wasn't he waiting for your orders, but now it seems that people have forgotten about him at all.

Master Jerome, who was thinking in his heart, couldn't say this, so he immediately said goodbye and walked out.

But just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Catherine again.

Catherine asked thoughtfully, "Master Jerome, if you are given enough time and also enough magic scrolls, how long will it take you to transform thirty pieces of chain mail into their current form?"

Jerome paused, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's a pity, Your Highness. There is no way for a normal piece of chain mail to increase its defense while reducing its weight, so this time will be infinite. ”

Catherine almost couldn't resist slapping her on the head.

This master Jerome is good at everything, his personality and technique are first-class, but he is just a bit of a dead brain.

Catherine shook her head and said, "No, I just said that if you modify their strength to this level, what will be the result?"

"Just the intensity...... This is easy. ”

Master Jerome has been immersed in the art of forging armor all his life, and immediately made an estimate, he said: "I am alone, and it will only take two days at the earliest. ”

"Two days?"

Catherine frowned slightly, and let the old man with a puzzled face go down.

She has always understood the truth that there is a specialization in the art industry, and the armor manufacturing of her own major chambers of commerce has always been handed over to Jerome and others, and she herself does not interfere.

Today was the first time she had asked the other party how long it would take to complete a job, and it turned out to surprise her.

Even a famous armor forging master like Jerome would take two days to complete the transformation, and the effect would be much worse, after all, one of the major selling points of Jerry's modified armor was that it was lighter.

But even so, it was based on the fact that she could provide endless resources, and there must be defensive magic scrolls among them.

But Jerry didn't use any of that, all he wanted was some worthless cores, and that kind of thing had any other purpose than grinding them into powder?

The more Catherine thought about it, the more strange it became, and finally decided to put aside her affairs for the time being tonight and go to the secret factory to find out.
