Chapter 66 The Nature of a Profligate Merchant 1
"It's an ordinary steel sword, the steel quality is uneven, and only the blade part is forged. The connection between the blade and the hilt is almost the same as cast steel, which is rubbish. As for the subsequent processing of the sword, the quenching heats the entire blade, and partial cold quenching is used, which causes the temperature to drop slowly, resulting in insufficient strength of the blade and insufficient hardness of the sword edge. It's rubbish. Finally, in terms of appearance, the entire blade edge of the sword is not a regular straight line. What is this? Poor thing, there are even traces of cold clamps left when the sword was cast. Are you going to let my poor men die from the sudden breakage of the sword?" As I spoke at length, the shop owner's face had become very ugly. The last sentence almost made him kneel down.
"Sir, this is just an accident. You just said that you wanted to see them all, so I will take you to see the lowest-level weapons. You see, this is the worst weapon after all, and we didn't check it carefully, which caused you trouble. Why don't you move it a little? There are better weapons over there, and over there are..." As he said that, the guy shouted to a waiter to call someone. It was probably someone who knows about weapons, right
Different from the situation just now where the table was piled with weapons without even a scabbard, here each weapon had a shelf to place it, and they were all scabbarded, and some of them even had special locks. It seemed to me that I had skipped several steps to get from there to here. . . . .
"Master, what do you want me to do? I just finished half of a sword..."
"Shut up, this gentleman is an expert, so I asked you to come and keep him company. If the gentleman has any questions, you must give me a good answer, otherwise I will starve your whole family to death..."
Damn, I didn’t expect that this world not only has elves, but also dwarves. I wonder if there are dragons. If there really are... Amen, just pretend I wasn’t thinking of anything. Unless I build a cannon, I have no chance of dealing with this terrifying existence.
I pulled out a long sword again and tapped the blade gently. This time, I felt something different. Although the style was not much different from the previous one, the whole blade gave me a smooth feeling. The material was good and the processing method was good. Although it did not use the best heat treatment method and the blood groove was not opened, it gave me a very good feeling.
"Did you make this? How much is it? How long will it take if I want to order in bulk?" The first sentence I spoke to was directed at the dwarf, and the rest was directed to the store owner, although I was not planning to order weapons in large quantities. . . . .
"Sir, all of these are forged by this guy alone. We usually sell a sword like the one in your hand for 8 gold coins, but if you need it, I will sell it to you for 5 gold coins. How many do you need?"
"I want 1,000 swords. But I don't need a scabbard or a hilt. I just want the sword body, just the sword body. What's your lowest price?" A dwarf makes it alone. ***** I don't think you can deliver the goods in a short time. By then, I will run away as I can't wait. If you have the guts, come to the imperial capital to find me. I just need to know the output of a dwarf or a group of people.
"Sir, this... so many? But even if our shop only produces sword bodies, we can only produce two swords a day at most. After all, only dwarves can make such swords. This time may... may be very long!" As the saying goes, a big shop bullies its customers, and a big customer bullies the shop. Now, our shop has become a small shop.
"I don't believe that such a big store like yours would only produce such a small number of weapons. Do you dislike the fact that I only ordered sword bodies and refused to provide high-quality weapons to the imperial army?" I didn't believe that he would not jump into the pit I dug.
"Sir, please have mercy! There is only one dwarf master working in the shop with a group of ordinary blacksmiths. He is the only one who can make this kind of sword. If you don't believe me, please go to the back and take a look. You are an expert and you will know it at a glance!"
"Look if you want, come on! If you lie to me, I will close your store. Look at what this mark is? It's from the Flame Legion, I don't believe you doubt our ability?" He lifted the veil on his cloak, revealing the mark on the collar. Damn, this is both comfortable and can scare that guy.
With the shop owner's series of "no"s, we walked into the place where the dwarf had just come out. After entering and taking a look, I was greatly disappointed, but at the same time secretly excited. The scale of this shop is quite large according to Matthew, but everything inside is very primitive. All the production is not only not large-scale, but also not as good as the workshop I imagined.
After patiently looking around, I led everyone back to the front. It seems that if I build an arsenal, the profits will definitely scare everyone. There is already coal here, so I can directly make steel, and find a place that can use water or wind power, and I can build an assembly line factory, then... I almost drooled...
"Everyone, please feel free to choose your weapons. I'll pay the bill. Boss, please continue to tell me about other things you have here." Assuming that I could still afford the prices here, I immediately started to win people's hearts. Although these people were my subordinates, their hearts were with Sack. … … …
"Sir, these are just some common military equipment. Above are magic materials and some high-end jewelry for sale. If you are interested, please move over."
"Matthew and Yaruo, come with me. The rest of you can find your favorite weapons and equipment here. Just have fun!" When I heard about magic equipment, my eyes lit up immediately. My goal is to learn magic soon? I'll take this opportunity to see the market. Besides, isn't Yaruo also a half-magician? Maybe there is something she can use. She is the only one I can really trust.
Damn, the difference between upstairs and downstairs is like heaven and earth. After walking up the stairs, I was greeted by 6 burly men in full armor, which almost made me fall down the stairs. But as soon as I entered, I knew it was necessary. The whole room was filled with crystal substances, various jewels, and jewelry almost occupied most of the second floor.
"Boss, you've come at the right time. This gentleman wants to sell some magic crystal ore obtained from the Senke Federation. Would you like to buy it?"
