Chapter 41 0041: Those things about forging
With the lid opened, the cyan thin-neck glass bottle reveals its full view, lying quietly in the fine fleece, and its preciousness can be seen from the protective measures.

Ken took out a silk bag and placed them side by side on the table.

[Material: Mi Qiang Ore]

"Hiss, my dear sir, can you allow me to take a look?"

The businessman had already guessed the value of the thing when he saw the silk pattern, and glanced at the opening, even more curious.

Ken held out his hand.

The elf mercenary was close. He knew this rare ore, and looked back at the other party without any trace, which seemed to refresh his impression.

The peddler is very knowledgeable, although he stepped forward with great strides.

But when he actually came to the table, he acted professional and reserved, holding things up through the silk, and focusing carefully with the enchanted monocle.

Ken leaned over to observe, and through that strange tool, he could see the texture in the ore and the magic crystal nucleus contained therein.

"It is indeed of high quality, do you consider selling it?"

Vendors are still scrutinizing, asking prices professionally, not missing any business opportunities.

"Feel sorry."

Ken smiles back
The other party didn't ask any further questions, as if they were just chatting casually without forcing them.

"I like the gift very much, or rather, it suits my heart very much." Ken moved away from the topic, "To be honest, I have never had a weapon in my hand."

The merchant put down the ore when he heard the words, and pretended to listen carefully.

The leaders on the business roads of various countries have done a good job in dealing with people, and their words and deeds will make people quite comfortable.

That's the stuff of business.

"With all due respect," the elf, who was listening with folded arms, also said at this time. "What you make out of these two materials will definitely not be ordinary."

"That's the problem."

Ken spread his hands on the table, the material in the middle of his palms.

"I can't find a place for processing. According to the original idea, I will build a blacksmith shop in the tribe as a test to customize a decent steel sword for myself."

The merchant's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He was stunned for a long time, then turned to look at his companion, the elf mercenary shook his head in shock, and even wanted to take the things back.

Moon ring sap is very precious, and Mi Qiang mine is even more rare!
"Well, I don't think that's a good idea."

The peddler weighed his words and tried to be as tactful as possible.

Ken signaled him to speak freely. After all, he did have a knowledge blind spot, and he still had to accept other people's opinions with an open mind.

The other party held the unilateral glasses in his hand, and his expression became serious and sincere:
"The Yves Chamber of Commerce handles a large amount of equipment and weapons every year, so it knows a little bit about the doorway. You may know that the furnace in the blacksmith shop is to be fed, and it will be nourished and compacted with a large number of stone spirit cores over the years. In order to withstand the rarer flames."

He pointed to Ken's waist.

"For example, this keto pattern steel sword should come from a certain tribe. The blacksmith shop was only built for two winters. The stone spirits were rarely fed. The molten stone used for enchanting is very poor. The quenching may be just ordinary mountain springs."

Ken nodded silently.

He really didn't understand the way to do it. He thought it was just a matter of building a house and recruiting a few craftsmen.

The merchant saw his intentions.

"Usually, small tribes only need the simplest blacksmith shop. There are no requirements. Apprentices can also forge tools and repair damaged weapons and armor."

He waited for Ken to slowly understand, then coughed a few words, and continued:

"But your two materials are too, how to put it, expensive! The newly built furnace can't even melt it. You must find a professional craftsman, and don't make a decision lightly."

The peddler endured a lot of hard work, and the literacy he had cultivated from traveling around for many years allowed him to express tactfully enough, but he almost blurted out the words "violent waste".

"Or, I'll get you a good sword, post some money, and pass the materials to me."

If he was not taking people's love just now, he is really protecting resources now.

Ken looked serious, thanked the other party for his suggestion, and deeply realized that his behavior was inappropriate. At the same time, he was also surprised at the confidence of the Norlin Kingdom, and the rare materials he gave at random could make the person in charge of a large chamber of commerce care so much.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will seriously consider it, but this material is really not for sale."

"All right……"

The vendor sighed and nodded.

Professional habits made him think about a lot of things in an instant. Ken was able to produce this kind of material, his manner of speaking, and the discipline of the troops were all impressive.

Make friends!
"Go down the Flynn Ancient Road, and you will arrive at Dewar Village. The forging skills there are quite good, and it should be able to meet your needs."

"Is there a Dewar tribe known as 'Furnace Town'?"

Ken asked back with deep eyes.

The next stop of their itinerary is there. There are many ancient and huge tribes in the northern border. In the old convention, [Duwa Village], which is famous for forging, was designated as a non-combat zone, and the refugees who had no fixed place would also live there. Looking for coolies, over time, it has become a relatively large gathering place nearby.

"Yes, but all good stoves are reserved, and the craftsmen all work under the hands of Frengundo."

The vendor thought for a long time, and reminded him with a smile.

"With materials like yours, I'm afraid the commission and candidates will not be too simple."

The implication is that it will cost a lot of money, and you need to have enough contacts to do it.

Ken has neither.

But since the other party said this, there must be follow-up preparations waiting, and they simply followed the topic and showed trouble appropriately.

"Not so."

The vendor took the purchase list from his subordinate, took out a piece of parchment from the neat letterhead and spread it on the table, raised his hand and gestured and said:

"We originally had an order and needed a lot of dumb stones. If you are willing, help us get it here. Then we will get a lot of stone spirit cores, which will be of great help to you in Duwa Village."

【Temporary task: Smart】

【Progress: 0/30】

[Private entrustment, trade or help with the chamber of commerce can increase the friendship between the two parties, gain convenience, and get corresponding rewards. 】

Ken picked up the parchment and looked at it carefully before his eyes:

It has been transcribed in elegant Van-Yiya script, with the coat of arms of [Pistonk Kingdom], the paper is made of exquisite craftsmanship, and the end is inscribed with a military seal.

A commission of a military nature is usually signed by the royal family, and then brought to the northern station by caravan.

The knights assigned troops to complete it, and then brought the goods back to Xiongdu.

Ken looked at the vendor in front of him.

The other party always smiled kindly, and I'm afraid it's not easy. Those who can lead the team alone have a great say in the chamber of commerce. It is obvious that they have the idea of ​​making friends with themselves when deciding where to go for a military commission.

"I'm very interested in this order. If you stay, you can take the goods away tomorrow morning."

"No problem," the vendor turned the glasses in his hand, as if playing with a gold coin. "It will take some time to repair the carriage, we can afford it."
