Lord of the Oasis Chapter 103: .Mission from Wikia
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 the breakfast very harmonious, at least not unpleasant.
They are all people from the system, so Kant can be relaxed, at least without intrigue.
In a pleasant conversation, they finish breakfast.
The servants who have been prepared come to clean up the dishes, and at the same time quickly wipe the long table with two wet and dry towels.
The desk is back to clean.
The leader of the caravan is sitting upright, knowing that it is time to talk about business.
"Is the breakfast you just had here still good?"
Kant wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, seemingly asking 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, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "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 well preserved will rot."
"No wonder," replied the caravan leader.
And next to Manid smiled and asked: "Then do you accept these antelope meat?"
Kant also looked at the caravan leader.
Actually, that's what he wanted to ask.
If the caravan as a systematic merchant collects antelope meat, Kant can use the desert antelopes of the Sanwaya Mountains, which migrate every month, to hunt directly and wildly, turning all these little cuties into dinars.
But Kant's and Manid's ideas obviously fell through.
The caravan leader hesitated: "Lord Kant, we don't accept everything..."
This is, of course, a polite refusal.
Kant is not annoyed, this is a rule from the system and has nothing to do with this caravan leader.
After hesitating 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 prepare it, so that a long-term and effective cooperation can be formed."
Since the caravan leader said, not everything is accepted.
Then 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.
The leader of the caravan did not euphemistically say this, but said directly: "The Kingdom of Vicia is rich in iron ore, and under the vast snowfields on the Kudan River, there are countless iron ore reserves. This is our Vicya. The precious resource of the kingdom, as long as more iron ore can be mined, we can harvest more dinars.”
"Well, that sounds good." Kant nodded, he knew this.
After all, Kudan is a famous 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. Can even sell for ten times the price!
The caravan leader also added: "Because the snowfield iron ore is difficult to mine, and digging pits in the snow and permafrost is also a threat to the life of the miners, a large number of slaves are needed to be replenished every year, and those iron ore owners They applaud the strong and sturdy gnolls, believing that these stupid races can be 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 Vikya buys a large number of slaves, but except for the war years, there are basically not many slaves."
"But that's very good." Kant nodded with a smile.
He doesn't care what happens to the gnoll, only 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 gnolls. Gnar acquisition."
"Of course, this time I brought plenty of money."
The caravan leader nods.
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, entrusted by King Yarogerk. My sincere respect to you."
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 Vyrya, Yarogork is well known.
Now there is a letter for him.
Manid was good at figuring out his mind, and immediately picked up the envelope on the table and placed it in front of Kant, while whispering: "Vicya people are very generous, it should be a letter of greetings to you."
"Is that so?" Kant picked up the envelope and gently tore it open.
The above is written in Wikia text he can understand, the paragraph is not long, it is indeed a greeting.
And in Kant's view, these greetings are very respectful. The king of the Vicians completely put himself on the weak side, and even the last 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 snowy plains 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. ]
Kant quickly scans the task dialog.
Brows raised slightly, 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 the king of Yarogerk, I am very happy. Happy to solve the problem of the scarcity of miners for him.”
"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!
Let's not talk about him now, he originally planned to gather troops to cast a wide net to catch slaves recently, in order to make the defeated gnolls completely lose their ability to compete with Kant.
Otherwise, when the expedition of Greymane Kingdom arrives, these low-level gnolls may be summoned again.
"That's right."
And Manid spoke at this time. He took a dish of fine white salt on the table and put it in front of the caravan leader and asked, "This is fine salt, no Do you know that the Kingdom of Vikya needs this?"
Kant also looked at the caravan leader.
"Hmm." The embarrassment and hesitation appeared on the face of the caravan leader.
"Don't need this item?"
Kant is a little curious. Although Vicia is close to the sea and has its own coastline, it does not have the skills to boil and dry salt. The salt that is purchased is often from a wagon. purchased.
According to the truth, 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, Lord."
The caravan leader looked very ashamed and guilty, and said to Kant: "We cannot buy anything that is 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 doesn't matter." 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. dinar.
Kant knew it before.
Originally, he thought that the system allowed hard trade, perhaps loosening this rule.
Unexpectedly, this is still the case.
The caravan leader also put down the dish of fine white salt with some pity, and said to Kant: "As far as I know, the goods that can be brought back in the Land of Miracles, except for the goods produced in your territory and the gnoll slaves, are only Only gold and strange objects can be brought back, and both of them 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... Curiosities?"
Kant raised his eyebrows, these two things are a bit expensive in this world.
Gold basically does not belong to the category that common people 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.
Ordinary businessmen are difficult to accept, even small nobles probably don't have much gold coins.
As for the strange objects, they are even more precious.
Gold is at least accessible if you have money, and something with extraordinary power, such as a strange object, is not something you can buy if you want to buy it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take them out, because of these strange objects, Kant had consulted relevant information in books when he was studying in the academy.
But 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 Springs], and [Sun Disc] are all strange objects obtained by Kant and indirectly returned by the system.
Among them, [Deterrence of the enemy] and [Sun disc] are the most useful.
One is a war artifact ~IndoMTL.com~ and the other is installed on top of the sentry tower, slowing the temperature of the sun during the day and increasing the heat at night, allowing Kant to sleep quite comfortably at night.
And Kant doesn't understand the use of these two thin sheets of paper, [Pages of Fertile Soils] and [Pages of Clear Springs].
"Come here, I have something for you to do."
Slightly squinting, 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 respectfully retreated.
