Lord of the Oasis Chapter 29: .Rivatin’s caravan
New buildings appear.
It is just located on the west side of the Consulate Hall, covering an area of nearly 200 square meters, which is flush with the five Swadia houses.
It's like two parallel lines.
This is Kant's pre-designed buildings and streets.
But on closer inspection, Kant also found that the grocery store looked slightly rougher than other well-built buildings.
The plinth is made of stone, the main body is made of wood and hemp rope, and the windows are deliberately opened into open counters, which are all nailed with thick wooden boards, and windows are supported from bottom to top on both sides. Act as a sunshade tool.
However, the counter is now empty.
And the entire grocery store was empty, not to mention merchants, not even selling goods.
The system prompts you.
[Ding...Through your efforts, the brand new building has been completed. ]
[Main quest: "The Value of Dinars" completed]
[Reward: Grocery Store × 1 seat]
[Introduction: Now, the grocery store you own can exchange dinars. Of course, the premise is that you have to have items that have "value" in the eyes of the system in exchange for dinars. ]
Kant frowned.
His eyes swept across the empty store, while noting the introduction on the dialog box.
That has specially marked words.
Kant slowly repeats: "Valuable items?"
The words are simple.
It's easy to understand.
But Kant just doesn't understand what a "value" object is!
A big silver coin?
Precious gold and silver jewelry?
These things Kant negotiated with the system when he was in the Lion Castle, and could not be exchanged at all.
"System, I don't understand."
Kant frowned.
If you don't understand, you have to ask, so he connected to his mind and said silently: "What does the "value" you marked equal to?"
The system is slightly silent.
But after a few seconds, he responded: "Items with magical powers."
"Items of magical power?" Kant frowned even more.
This noun is a bit complicated.
"Yes."
The system replied simply: "The effect is like [Deterrence of the enemy] and other strange items, all can be exchanged for dinars."
At this time, Kant was slightly silent.
Turning his head, the banner of "Deterring the Power of the Enemy" is still planted in front of the door of the Consultative Hall.
Although there is no wind, it still flutters slightly.
The red bottom is embroidered with a golden lion, showing its teeth and claws, which has its own deterrent.
As if to choose someone to devour.
"Wonderful things."
Kant spoke softly.
He has already thought about what the system wants to be worthy of the word "value".
Bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Kant slowly said, "Magic item?"
"Yes." The system simply replied.
Kant smiled bitterly: "Sure enough."
In this world, the world of swords and magic, since there are gnolls, dwarves, elves, orcs and other races, there are also professions such as mages and priests, and there are some items with magical powers.
Such as magic items.
Of course, this kind of magical power is also particularly precious.
Kant has learned a lot from the books of scholars, but he has really seen and touched it, but he has only seen it in the room of his cheap father, Cameron, Duke of the Lion.
That's a suit of armor.
The interior consists of two layers of the finest chain mail, and an outer layer of scale armor.
It is always enchanted by the court mages of the Principality of Lions with the power of mysterious magic, which can reduce weight, strengthen defenses, and permanent stainless spells. It is one of the most precious treasures of the Dukes of Lions in all dynasties.
Even Kant, the second son of the Duke, is not qualified to touch.
It can be seen that such magical items are extremely precious.
Wanting to acquire, in Kant's impression, is simply difficult to get into the sky.
"What's the difference between this and not saying it?"
With a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, Kant couldn't help but complain to the system.
This kind of thing that can be used as a family background, at least Kant has never seen a noble family sell it.
Even if the families of these nobles have been in decline, there have been very few sales of this kind of family heritage in history. After all, this kind of magic item can still revitalize the family, but once it is sold, the family will be completely destroyed. Done.
Besides, even if someone sells...
Kant has no money to buy it!
"System, can you provide some reliable advice?"
He shook his head helplessly, and Kant smiled wryly.
"Yes."
Surprisingly, the system responded.
This made Kant slightly stunned, and asked: "What is that?"
The system did not answer.
But what is given is a system task.
[Ding…Special task release]
【Special Mission: Explore the Mystery】
[Reward: 5,000 dinars. ]
[Introduction: There seems to be a mysterious power hidden in the gnoll tribe in the depths of the desert. Maybe you should go there and find the source of this mysterious power. ]
Looking at the introduction, the task is very simple.
It's reconnaissance.
But Kant's brows furrowed tightly: "Explore the mystery?"
He is a good thinker.
So it's easy to discover the hidden meaning.
Exactly.
This is indeed a reconnaissance.
The meaning given in the introduction of the system is that if the source of the so-called mysterious power is not investigated clearly, then this task will be impossible to complete.
This is a special mission.
The last special mission, let Kant investigate the military system of this world.
The reward is now the light crossbow behind him.
"But this time, it's a little difficult." He exhaled slowly.
More than difficult.
It is very difficult!
Investigate the gnoll tribe deep in the desert.
And this gnoll tribe is currently known as the large gnoll tribe with a population of more than 2,500.
Want to investigate?
It's courting death!
The gnolls that swarmed out could probably devour his entire sentry oasis. With his troops of less than 80 people, it would be a dead end to fight against 2,500 enemy troops!
Quantity has completely overtaken quality.
What's more, the quality of Kant's troops has not reached the level of one enemy ten.
"Special tasks have no completion date."
The system replies at this time: "And it does not constitute a conflict with other tasks, you can handle it at your own discretion."
Kant nodded: "It's not too bad."
If it really conflicts with other tasks, or must be completed, then it is really powerless for Kant. Right now, he has no way to get the dinar.
Even with this pathway, the near thirst cannot be quenched from far away!
The empty fund balance has shown that he will have no money to pay the troop wages next week.
At the same time, even the money for development is gone.
[Ding... The caravan from Zhivadin has arrived. ]
Suddenly, there is an upgrade from the system.
Kant frowned slightly.
"Rivadin's... caravan?" He was a little stunned.
On the northern sand dunes not far away, a Swadian militiaman ran down quickly, waved at them, and said loudly: "Unknown people are approaching! Unknown people are approaching!"
"Are you here yet?"
Kant frowned ~IndoMTL.com~ thinking about the so-called caravan.
However, he still turned his head and said to the desert robbers waiting beside him, "Go and see!"
"Understood."
The 16 desert robbers nodded, swiftly mounted their horses, and galloped towards the northern sand dunes.
After all, this is the Naron Desert, and they can't help but relax.
But soon, these desert robbers came back with 3 carriages, followed by a few riders and walking followers. The speed was not too slow, and they were talking and laughing about something.
Obviously, this is not the enemy.
They gradually approached.
And on Dehrim's roof, the militiamen in charge of defense are also watching them vigilantly with hunting crossbows.
"Sir, they brought it here."
The desert robber came on horseback and respectfully reported to Kangdehui: "It's the caravan of Zhivadin."
"Hmm." Kant nodded.
At the same time, I looked at the Zhivadin caravan composed of 3 carriages, 1 caravan leader, 6 caravan guards, and 12 hired sentries, and I felt a little calm in my heart. Clearly with a weapon.
He knew that these were indeed in-game caravans.
The leader of the caravan is very smooth.
Seeing how the desert robber treats Kant with respect, how could he not know that this is the righteous Lord?
He quickly gave a wink to the 6 caravan guards who were also riding behind him, jumped off their horses, bowed respectfully and said in unison: "Dear Lord Swadia, the caravan from Wikiazhwadin , with the utmost respect to you."
PS: I went out yesterday, sorry. At least three shifts today.
