"Sir, please let me show you how to use this magic attack. First, open the cover behind the hilt, and then you will see six round holes. Each of these round holes can hold a small magic scroll. After you use magic six times, you must replace the magic scroll with a new one.
However, since this kind of magic scroll is only produced by a reclusive upper-level magician, and the price is also very expensive, so this time I only brought a mere 20 magic scrolls, I hope you can forgive me. In the future, as long as the magician can still serve us, I will do my best to hand over the magic scrolls I produce to you as soon as possible. "
"Okay, okay, I think I didn't make a mistake. Well, now, let's talk about your business! Tell me, what are the advantages of your weapons compared to the current prices purchased by the military? Or what are the advantages of your weapons over those provided to the military by others? As long as your weapons are of good quality, you don't have to worry about the price!" Satisfied, Kanan took the remaining dozen or so small and exquisite magic scrolls from the arms dealer and carefully put them into his pocket.
"Sir, look..." Hearing Kanan asking for the price in this crowded place, the arms dealer showed an embarrassed expression and glanced at the people around him.
"Everyone, go down, everyone! Kaiser, help my little brother prepare a place to stay, and the rest of you, do what you need to do..." Kanan realized what was going on immediately, and immediately drove away all the officers beside him, leaving only two guards beside him.
"Sir, before you quote a price, please take a look at the weapons I will provide to the imperial army. Here are steel bayonets for heavy infantry and broad-bladed heavy swords. Please teach me, sir." After the officers beside him left, the arms dealer immediately opened another wooden box that had been delivered earlier and took out a spear and a steel sword from it.
"Good sword. It looks sharper than those provided by other weapon dealers in the empire... But it seems that the details are a bit crude... Well, try it. You two, take an ordinary standard sword and try it." Pointing to the weapons rack not far away, Kanan asked the two guards to try the swords immediately.
After several clashes of clinking, Kanan and the two guards all turned their attention to the two swords that were put together again. . . . .
"Good sword, it is indeed a good sword! If it was a hard long sword, it would have broken long ago in such a collision. I didn't expect that this sword could cut the imperial standard long sword into pieces without any damage to itself... Tell me, how did your blacksmith make such a good long sword? Incredible, incredible..." Looking at the soybean-sized cracks all over the standard long sword, Kanan took a breath. After carefully observing the long sword provided by the weapon dealer, Kanan asked the weapon dealer in a surprised tone.
"Sir, according to my blacksmiths, they used a special forging technology, and for the steel on the blade, they adopted extrusion technology to make the steel on the blade more dense. However, I don't know the specific situation because I don't have the knowledge of production, and those lowly blacksmiths are determined not to disclose it in order to keep their jobs. So I am very sorry for your request." With a slightly embarrassed look on his face, the arms dealer avoided talking about the specific production steps.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. Forget it. They are just lowly people anyway. As long as they can produce weapons for the Empire, then we don't have to worry about them. Tell me, how much are you willing to sell such weapons to the Imperial Army?"
"Sir, the cost price of a full steel spear is 2 gold coins, and the cost of a steel long sword is 1 gold coin and 2 silver coins. But I am not going to set the price for the Imperial Army. Anyway, as long as I receive the cost price plus a profit of 1 silver coin per piece, I don't care about anything else... Sir, what do you think?" After hearing Kanan's words, the weapons dealer immediately became active, but what he said stunned the three people present. Not setting the price for the Imperial Army? What kind of business would that be
"You don't set the price? But you provide the cost that you must guarantee... This... Well, maybe I understand a little bit. Tell me! Tell the truth, there are no outsiders here, so don't be petty." Kanan slowly came to his senses from the confusion. The expression of the arms dealer had begun to change again.
"Sir, in a word, I only need to receive 2.1 gold coins for the spear and 1.3 gold coins for the sword. No matter how much the empire gives me, it will be counted as your hard work fee. For example, if the empire purchases the spear for 2.5 gold coins, then minus the small 2.1 gold coins, the remaining 0.4 gold coins will be yours. But if it is 3 gold coins, then you can get 0.9 gold coins..."
The weapon dealer's quick words made Kanan stunned immediately. God, the empire now has millions of troops. If this weapon dealer had appeared earlier... then how much extra income would I, the marshal in charge of the basic armaments of the empire, have? Now, Kanan looked at the weapon dealer with eyes that were almost like seeing a money-grubber with tens of millions of gold coins.
"As far as I know, the weapons purchased by the Empire now are 3.7 gold coins for a spear and 2.5 gold coins for a long sword... Of course, the quality of your weapons is hundreds of times better than those provided by those bastards, so the previous prices are of course irrelevant. So, the bayonet is 4 gold coins, and the long sword is 2.8 gold coins. That's it. Little guy, from now on, you will do your best to supply the Empire. I will take whatever you offer. In addition, if you are interested in producing other equipment, this marshal will also strongly support it. Hahaha!" Kanan was very excited, patting the arms dealer on the back.
"Thank you, sir. However, the production volume of our small workshop is quite large. I wonder if your purchasing will affect the supply of other suppliers?"
"Big? The bigger the better. Don't worry about those useless and stingy bastards, as long as you can provide them, I will buy them all. If any of them cause trouble for you... just tell me immediately, I will make them wish they were dead... Well, if you need it, I can provide you with an elite force to protect you, and whoever dares to touch you will be killed..." Hearing what the arms dealer said, Kanan's face was immediately filled with murderous intent. If anyone dared to touch the God of Wealth in front of him at this time, he would definitely not recommend killing the other party.
"Then, starting from next month, I will provide you with 20,000 bayonets and long swords each month. Please take care of other matters. Also, regarding the army, please withdraw your order. I am afraid that this matter will get to the ears of those who have ulterior motives and will affect you. So, you continue to be busy, and I will immediately prepare for the supply next month." With an extremely bright smile on his face, the weapons dealer saluted Marshal Kanan elegantly. (To be continued)
