Occasionally, Kant interrupted and said some news he knew in the background of the game, which also attracted the amazement of the two, making the breakfast very harmonious, at least not half unpleasant.
They are all from the system, so Kant can be relaxed, at least there is no need to intrigue.
In pleasant conversation, they finished their breakfast.
The servant who had been prepared for a long time came to clean up the tableware, and at the same time quickly wiped the long table clean with two dry and wet towels.
The table was tidy again.
The leader of the caravan became upright, and he knew that it was time to talk about business.
"Is the breakfast you just had to your liking?"
Kant wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, asking casually.
"It's delicious." The caravan leader replied quickly, and at the same time said with satisfaction: "Especially the antelope meat, it tastes very fresh."
"The desert antelope that was just hunted not long ago."
Kant smiled and nodded, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "This may be one of the few benefits of being in the desert, as long as it is easy to hang it in a dark place to dry, at least it is not like other places, if it is not well preserved, it will rot. .”
"No wonder." The caravan leader replied.
Manid next to him smiled and asked, "Then do you accept these antelope meat?"
Kant also looked at the caravan leader.
In fact, this is what he also wanted to ask in his heart.
If the caravan as a system merchant collects antelope meat, Kant can use the desert antelopes in the Sanwaya Mountains to migrate every month, directly hunt them wantonly, and turn all these cute little antelopes into dinars.
But the idea of Kant and Manid obviously failed.
The caravan leader hesitated and said, "Master Kant, we don't accept everything..."
This is naturally a tactful refusal.
Kant was not angry, it was a rule from the system and had nothing to do with the caravan leader.
After pondering for a while, 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 to get someone to prepare it, so that a long-term and effective cooperation can also be formed."
Since the caravan leader said, not everything is collected.
So it also means that some things can be acquired.
"Yes."
The leader of the caravan nodded and replied, "Like the previous jackals, they are very popular in the Kingdom of Vikia."
"Slave trade." Manid added next to him.
The leader of the caravan was not euphemistic about this, but directly said: "The Kingdom of Vikia is rich in iron ore, and under the vast snowfield beside the Kudan River, there are countless iron ore reserves. This is the preciousness of our Vikia Kingdom. 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 commercial location. The iron ore produced in this city and its village can be sold to other cities, and the price can be doubled or tripled. In Woche, which is extremely short of iron ore, it can even be sold Offer ten times the price!
The caravan leader also added: "Because the snowfield iron ore is difficult to mine, digging pits in heavy snow and frozen soil is also a threat to the miners' lives, so a large number of slaves are needed every year to replenish them, and those iron mine owners Gnolls with strong bodies and excellent endurance expressed their appreciation, thinking that these stupid races can serve as the best slave miners, so they will spend a lot of dinars to buy these slaves, which are very popular commodities."
"That's true."
Manid, who once led a large caravan, nodded and said to Kant: "Vekia Kingdom buys a large number of slaves every year, but except for war years, basically there will not be many slaves."
"But it's very good." Kant nodded with a smile.
He didn't care what would happen to the Gnoll, he only cared about the dinar he could get.
With a slight shrug, Kant said to the caravan leader: "We recently captured another 120 Gnolls captive, and I plan to conduct a hunt soon to capture more Gnolls who were forced to land. I hope you have so many dinars to buy .”
"Of course, this time I brought sufficient funds."
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 Vikia, and King Yarogerke entrusted me. Your sincere respect."
Kant was slightly stunned, staring at the letter.
As the ruler of the snowfield at the beginning of the game and the king of the Vikia Kingdom, Yarogerke has a great reputation.
Now a letter came to him.
Manid was good at figuring out his mind, so he immediately picked up the envelope on the table, put it in front of Kant, and said softly at the same time: "Vekia people are very generous, it should be a letter expressing greetings to you."
"Really." Kant picked up the envelope and gently tore it open.
It was written in Wikipedia characters he could understand, and the paragraphs were not long, but it was indeed a greeting.
Moreover, in Kant's view, these greetings are very respectful. The king of the Vekia completely put himself on the weak side, and even the final negotiation seemed to be a request.
When Kant finished reading the letter, a dialog box popped up on his retina at the same time.
[Ding... special task released]
[Special Mission: The mission of the Kingdom of Vikia]
[Task Reward: Honor × 5]
[Introduction: The snowfields of the Vikia Kingdom are rich in iron ore, which is the main source of treasury revenue. However, due to the geological structure, mining iron ore is undoubtedly a problem. King Vekia promises that if you send 500 Gnoll slaves, you will gain friendship from Vegia Kingdom.]
Kant quickly scanned the task dialog.
His brows raised slightly, and it turned out to be a special task that he hadn't come across for a long time.
"500 Gnoll slaves." Kant's tongue brushed his lips, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to the caravan leader very appropriately: "Go back and tell King Yarogerke, I will be happy for him Solve the problem of scarce miners."
"You are the most generous." The caravan leader stood up again and saluted respectfully.
"Of course." Kant smiled.
How could he give up those 5 points of honor, which represented a generous reward of 5 random draws in the system mall!
Not to mention the current him, he had originally planned to gather troops to cast a large-scale net to catch slaves recently, in order to make those defeated gnolls completely lose their ability to compete with Kant.
Otherwise, when the Graymane Kingdom's expeditionary force arrives, these low-level gnolls may be summoned again.
"correct."
And Manid spoke at this moment. He took a plate of fine white salt that had not been taken away from the table, put it in front of the caravan leader, and asked, "This is the best salt. Does the kingdom need this?"
Kant also looked at the caravan leader.
"Hmm." On the face of the caravan leader, embarrassment and hesitation appeared again.
"Don't you need this kind of goods?"
Kant was a little curious. Although Vikia is close to the sea and has its own coastline, it does not have the technology to cook and dry salt. The salt it buys is often bought by those Nord people who have mastered the skill of cooking salt.
Logically speaking, these Vikiers absolutely need salt.
Manid also frowned slightly. He obviously did not expect that the leader of the caravan would give up the idea of buying salt.
"Sorry, my lord."
The leader of the caravan seemed very ashamed and guilty, and said to Kant: "We can't buy things that are not produced in your territory "Drehem", because this is a place 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 that before.
Originally, he thought that the system allowed hard trade, and perhaps let go of this rule.
Unexpectedly, it is still the case.
The leader of the caravan also put down the plate of fine white salt with some pity, and said to Kant: "As far as I know, the goods that can be brought back from the Miracle Land, except for items produced in your territory and wolf man slaves, are only gold and gold. Only rare items can be brought back, and these two things can bring you rich rewards."
Kant was taken aback for a moment, and quickly caught the key words in the words of the caravan leader.
"Gold and... wonders?"
Kant raised his eyebrows. The prices of these two things are a bit high in this world.
Gold basically does not belong to the category that ordinary people can touch. It is completely a currency circulated among nobles, and it is also a special material for mages to cast spells. Its value is basically equal to a gold coin, which can be exchanged for 80 large silver coins.
Ordinary merchants would find it hard to accept, even the smaller nobles probably don't have many gold coins.
As for strange objects, they are even more precious.
If you have money, you can at least have access to gold, and things with extraordinary power, such as strange objects, are simply not something you can buy if you want to buy them. The owners treasure them as family heritage. It is possible to take it out, because of these strange things, Kant once 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, [Position to Intimidate the Enemy], [Page of Fertile Soil], [Page of Clear Spring], and [Sun Disk] are all strange objects obtained by Kant and indirectly returned by the system.
Among them, [Position to Intimidate 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 down the temperature of the sun during the day and increases the heat at night, allowing Kant to sleep quite comfortably at night.
As for [Page of Fertile Soil] and [Page of Clear Spring], Kant does not understand the use of these two thin papers.
"Come here, I need you to do something."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Kant turned his head to greet the servant who was waiting next to him, and ordered: "Go to my room, take my box and come 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: "My lord, that's them." Then he retreated respectfully.
