Lord of the Oasis

Occasionally, Kant interjected and said some news that he knew in the background of the game, which also attracted the amazement of the two, making this breakfast very harmonious, at least not half unpleasant.

They are all people from the system, so Kant can be relaxed, at least without intrigue.

In a pleasant conversation, they finished their breakfast.

The servants who had been prepared for a long time came to clean up the tableware, and at the same time quickly wiped the long table with two wet and dry towels.

The table was restored to tidy.

The caravan leader became serious, and he knew that it was time to talk about business.

"Is the breakfast you just had in your stomach?"

Kant wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and seemed to ask casually.

"It's delicious." The caravan leader replied quickly, and said with satisfaction: "Especially the antelope meat, it tastes very fresh."

"Desert antelope just killed not long ago."

Kant nodded with a smile, and his tone was a little helpless: "This may be one of the few benefits in the desert, as long as it is easy to hang and dry in a dark place, at least not like other places, if it is not preserved well, it will rot ."

"No wonder." The caravan leader replied.

And Manid next to him asked with a smile: "Then do you accept these antelope meat?"

Kant also looked at the caravan leader.

In fact, that's what he wanted to ask.

If the caravan as a systematic merchant collects antelope meat, Kant can use the desert antelopes in the Sangwaya Mountains, which migrate every month, to hunt directly and wildly, turning all these little cuties into dinars.

But Kant and Manid's ideas obviously failed.

The caravan leader hesitated: "Lord Kant, we don't accept everything..."

This is, of course, a polite refusal.

Kant is not angry, this is a rule from the system and has nothing to do with this caravan leader.

After pondering for a moment, Kant put down the handkerchief in his hand, looked at the caravan leader and asked, "Then what can you buy?

If possible, I will try my best to get people ready, so as to form a long-term and effective cooperation. "

Since the caravan leader said, not everything is accepted.

It also means that some things can be acquired.

"Yes."

The leader of the caravan nodded and replied, "Like the gnolls before, they are very popular in the Kingdom of Vikya."

"Slave trade." Manid added beside him.

In this regard, the caravan leader did not euphemize, but said directly: "The Kingdom of Vicia is rich in iron ore, and under the vast snow field on the Kudan River, there are countless iron ore stored, which is the preciousness of our Kingdom of Vicya. Resources, as long as more iron ore can be mined, we can harvest more dinars.”

"Well, it sounds very good." Kant nodded, he naturally knew this.

After all, Kudan is a well-known business line location. The iron ore produced in this city and its villages can almost be sold to other cities, and the price can be doubled or tripled. Ten times the price!

The caravan leader also added: "Because the snowfield iron ore is difficult to mine, and digging mine pits in the heavy snow and permafrost is also a threat to the life of the miners, so a large number of slaves are needed to be replenished every year, and those iron ore owners are very concerned about their lives. The strong and sturdy gnolls appreciate it, thinking that these stupid races are perfectly capable of serving as the best slave miners, so they spend a lot of dinars to buy these slaves, which is a very popular commodity."

"Indeed."

As Manid, who once led a large caravan, nodded and said to Kant: "Every year, the Kingdom of Vicia buys a large number of slaves, but except for the war years, there are basically not many slaves."

"But this is very good." Kant nodded with a smile.

He doesn't care what happens to the gnoll, he only cares about the dinars he can get.

Shrugging slightly, Kant said to the leader of the caravan: "We recently captured 120 gnoll captives, and I plan to conduct a hunting round soon to capture more gnolls, I hope you have so many dinars to buy. ."

"Of course, this time I brought plenty of money."

The caravan leader nodded.

Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, took out a letter in his arms, put it on the table respectfully, and said to Kant: "This is the Kingdom of Vikya, King Yarogerk entrusted me, yes Your sincere respect."

Kant was stunned, staring at the letter.

As the ruler of the snowfields at the beginning of the game, the king of the kingdom of Vya, Yarogork has a reputation.

Now there is a letter to him.

Manid was good at figuring out his mind, and immediately picked up the envelope on the table and put it in front of Kant, while whispering: "Vicya people are very generous, it should be a letter to express greetings to you."

"Really?" Kant picked up the envelope and tore it open gently.

It was written in Wikia words he could understand, the paragraphs were not long, but it was indeed a greeting.

And from Kant's point of view, these greetings are very respectful. The king of the Vicians completely put himself in a weak position, and even the final negotiation seemed to be a request.

When Kant read the letter, a dialog box popped up on his retina at the same time.

[Ding... special task release]

[Special Mission: Mission of the Kingdom of Vicia]

[Quest Reward: Honor × 5]

[Introduction: Iron ore is abundant in the snowfields of the Kingdom of Vicia, which is the main source of revenue for the treasury. However, due to the geological structure, mining iron ore is undoubtedly a difficult problem. King Vikya promises that if you can send 500 gnoll slaves, you'll get friendship from Vikya Kingdom. 】

Kant scanned the task dialog quickly.

The brows were slightly raised, and it turned out to be a special task that had not been touched for a long time.

"500 gnoll slaves." Kant's tongue crossed his lips, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to the caravan leader: "Go back and tell King Yarogerk, I will be happy for him Solve the problem of scarcity of miners.”

"You are the most generous." The caravan leader stood up again and saluted respectfully.

"Of course." Kant smiled.

How could he give up the 5 points of honor, this represents the generous reward of 5 random draws in the system mall!

Not to mention the current him, he originally planned to gather troops and cast a large-scale net to catch slaves recently, in order to make the defeated gnolls completely lose their ability to compete with Kant.

Otherwise, when the expedition from the Greymane Kingdom arrives, it is possible for these low-level gnolls to be summoned again.

"correct."

And Manid spoke at this time. He took a dish of fine white salt on the table that he had not taken away, put it in front of the caravan leader, and asked, "This is fine salt, I don't know about Vickia. Does the kingdom need this?"

Kant also looked at the caravan leader.

"Hmm." The embarrassment and hesitation appeared on the face of the caravan leader.

"Don't you need this kind of stuff?"

Kant was a little curious. Although Vicia is close to the sea and has its own coastline, it does not have the skills to boil or dry salt. The salt that is purchased is often purchased by the Nords who have mastered the skill of cooking salt.

Logically speaking, these Vicians definitely need salt.

Manid also frowned slightly. He obviously did not expect that the caravan leader would give up the idea of ​​buying salt.

"Sorry, my lord."

The caravan leader looked very ashamed and guilty, and said to Kant: "We can't buy things that are not produced by your territory "Drehem", because this is the land of miracles."

"Land of Miracles?" Kant's eyes flashed strangely.

But looking at the guilty look of the caravan leader, he nodded and said, "It's okay." It is estimated that this is a requirement of the system. According to Kant's understanding of the system, this sentence is transformed into an item that is not produced by the system and cannot be exchanged for dinars. .

Kant knew it before.

Originally, he thought that the system allowed hard trade, and perhaps this rule was released.

Unexpectedly, this is still the case.

The caravan leader also put down the plate of fine white salt with some pity, and said to Kant: "At present, the goods that I know of that can be brought back in the Land of Miracles, apart from the goods produced in your territory and the gnoll slaves, are only gold and gold. Only strange things can be brought back, and these two things can bring you rich rewards.”

Kant was stunned for a moment, and quickly caught the key words in the words of the caravan leader.

"Gold and... odd objects?"

Kant raised his eyebrows, these two things are a bit expensive in this world.

Gold basically does not belong to the category that commoners can touch. It is a currency that circulates among nobles, and it is also a special material for mages to cast spells. Its value is basically equal to one gold coin, which can be exchanged for 80 large silver coins.

It is difficult for ordinary businessmen to accept it, and even small nobles probably don't have much gold coins.

As for the strange things, it is even more precious.

If you have money, you can at least get access to it, and something with extraordinary power, such as a strange object, is not something you can buy if you want to buy it. The owner cherishes it as a family background. It may be taken out, because of these strange objects, Kant had consulted relevant materials in books when he was studying in the academy.

However, Kant reached out and knocked on the table, and he happened to have a few strange objects.

For example, [Strength to Deter the Enemy], [Pages of Fertile Soil], [Pages of Clear Spring], and [Sun Disk] are all strange objects obtained by Kant and indirectly returned by the system.

Among them, [Deterring the Enemy] and [Sun Disc] are the most useful.

One is a war artifact, and the other is installed on the top of the sentry tower, which slows the temperature of the sun during the day and increases the heat at night, making Kant sleep quite comfortable at night.

And Kant doesn't understand the use of these two thin sheets of paper [Page of Fertile Soil] and [Page of Clear Spring].

"Come here, I have something for you to do."

Squinting slightly, Kant turned his head to greet the servant who was waiting next to him, and instructed: "Go to my room, take my box and take it down, it's in the cupboard."

"Understood." The servant nodded and walked over immediately.

Soon, he took down a simple wooden box and put it on the table in front of Kant: "Lord Lord, that's them." Then he stepped back respectfully.
