As the lid is opened, the green narrow-necked glass bottle is revealed, lying quietly in fine velvet. Its preciousness can be seen from the protective measures.

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

[Material: Miqiang Mine]

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

When the merchant saw the pattern of the silk cloth, he already guessed the value of the item. He glanced at the opening and was even more curious than he could control.

Ken gestured with his hand.

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

The vendor is very knowledgeable, although he steps forward very quickly.

But when he actually came to the table, he behaved professionally and reservedly, holding things up through the silk and focusing carefully with his enchanted single-sided glasses.

Ken looked sideways and observed, through the strange tool, he could see the texture in the ore and the magic crystal core contained therein.

"The quality is indeed high, would you consider selling it?"

The traders were still looking at it carefully, asking prices professionally, and never missed any business opportunities.

"Feel sorry."

Ken smiled and declined.

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

"I like the gift very much, or in other words, it is very satisfying." Ken changed the subject, "To be honest, I have never had a weapon that I can take advantage of."

Upon hearing this, the merchant put down the ore and pretended to listen carefully.

The leaders who travel on the business roads of various countries do a good job in dealing with others, and their words and deeds will make people feel comfortable.

This is the stuff of doing business.

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

"That's the problem."

Ken spread his hands on the table, with 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 an experiment to customize a decent steel sword for myself."

The merchant's eyes widened when he heard this.

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

The moon sap is very precious, and the Miqiang ore is even more rare!

"Um, I don't think that's a good idea."

The merchant carefully considered his words and tried to be as tactful as possible.

Ken told him to speak freely. After all, he did have blind spots in knowledge, so 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:

"Yifu Chamber of Commerce handles a large amount of equipment and weapons every year, so it knows a little bit about the methods involved. You may know that the furnace in the blacksmith shop needs to be fed. Over the years, a huge number of stone spirit cores are used to nourish and consolidate it.

Only then can we withstand rarer flames."

He raised his hand and pointed at Ken's waist.

"For example, this embossed steel sword should have come from a certain tribe. The blacksmith shop was only built in two winters. The stone spirit fed it very little. The molten stone used for enchantment is very inferior. The quenching method may be just an ordinary mountain spring."

Ken nodded silently.

He really didn't understand the method. He originally thought that he would just build a house and recruit a few craftsmen.

The merchant saw what he was thinking.

"Usually, small tribes only need the simplest blacksmith shop. There are no requirements. Apprentices can also make tools and repair battle-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 should I say, too expensive! A newly built stove cannot even melt them. You must find a professional craftsman and don't make a decision easily."

The merchant had endured a lot of hard work, and the quality he had developed through traveling around the country for many years allowed him to express his words tactfully enough, but he still almost blurted out the words "a waste of natural resources."

"Or, I can get you a good sword, give you some money, and transfer the materials to me."

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

Ken's expression was serious, and he thanked the other party for his advice. He also deeply realized that his behavior was inappropriate. At the same time, he was also surprised that the Nolin Kingdom had the confidence to make the head of a large chamber of commerce care so much about the rare materials he gave him.

"Thank you for your kindness. I will seriously consider it, but I really won't choose to sell this material."

"All right……"

The merchant sighed and nodded.

His professional habits made him think about many things in an instant. Ken's ability to produce such materials, his demeanor in speaking, and the discipline of his troops were all impressive.

Want to make friends!

"Following the Ancient Flynn Road, you will arrive at Duwa Village. The forging skills there are pretty good and should be able to meet your needs."

"Is there a Dua tribe known as 'Hearth Town'?"

Ken asked with a deep look.

The next stop on their journey is there. There are many ancient and large tribes in the north. According to the old convention, [Duwa Village], which is famous for its blacksmithing, is designated as a non-war zone, and refugees with no fixed abode will also be there.

Looking for hard work, over time, it became a relatively large gathering place nearby.

"Yes, but good furnaces are reserved, and the craftsmen have to work under Frongundo."

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

"With materials like yours, I'm afraid the commission and selection won't be too simple."

The implication is that this will cost a lot of money and requires sufficient connections.

Ken has neither.

But since the other party said this, he must have follow-up preparations waiting, so he simply followed the topic and showed his troubles appropriately.

"It's better than this."

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

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

[Temporary mission: Smart]

【Progress:0/30】

[Private entrustment, trading with the Chamber of Commerce or providing assistance can increase the friendship between the two parties, and not only gain convenience, but also get corresponding rewards. 】

Ken picked up the parchment and looked at it carefully:

It was transcribed in beautiful Sanskrit and Asian characters, with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Pistonk. The paper was made with exquisite craftsmanship, and the signature at the end was a military seal.

Commissions of a military nature are usually signed by the royal family and then taken to the northern garrison via caravan.

The knights assigned troops to complete the task and then brought the goods back to the capital.

Ken looked at the vendor in front of him.

The other party always smiles warmly. I'm afraid it's not that simple. A person who can lead a team on his own has a strong voice in the chamber of commerce and decides the whereabouts of a military commission. He obviously has the idea of ​​​​befriending him.

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