Kaman's face lit up with excitement at the mention of the four magical weapons, and he began to ramble on about them, regardless of whether Lin Li liked it or not. Kaman had really learned something new this time. A few days ago, when this young mage handed him the four magical weapons, he was still a little hesitant. He thought that they did not seem to be antiques from a long time ago, nor did they look like they were made by a famous craftsman. He was afraid that he would have to keep them for a long time before he could sell them …
He did not expect that someone would come to inquire about the price of the four magical weapons the moment they were placed in his shop. Kaman remembered that it was Jason, a level-15 Warrior Adventurer. Jason was a well-known figure in Doland. His powerful level-15 abilities and 100% completion rate had made him a dazzling star in the Adventurer industry.
Kaman remembered that Jason had his eyes on the longsword made of rune adamantine. It was the most expensive of the four magical weapons at 200,000 gold coins, which was enough to scare off most buyers. Yet, Jason did not even frown as he swiped 200,000 gold coins from his crystal card. Kaman could still clearly remember the look on his face, as if he had just gotten a bargain …
After selling the longsword, Kaman muttered to himself, wondering if there was something wrong with Jason's brain. It was just a weapon, did he have to spend all his savings?
But it didn't take long for Kaman to understand that there was nothing wrong with Jason's head. In just a day, the remaining three magic weapons were sold, and their prices were all far above the original price. The most frightening was the dagger forged from Dreamsteel, which was originally priced at 50,000 gold coins, but with the two high-ranked Thieves competing for it, it actually broke through the 300,000 gold mark …
Then, Kaman suddenly realized how terrifying the young mage he had met was.
Casually taking out a few pieces of magical equipment could be exchanged for millions of gold coins. Perhaps only the legendary Smithing Masters could do that.
In the days that followed, Kaman's ore exchange was crowded. Customers came one after another, and many of them were powerhouses above level-15. All of them were there to get more magical equipment from Kaman. In order to buy the equipment they wanted, these powerhouses fought to be the first to make all sorts of promises, such as introducing business to the Rosen Union or ensuring Kaman's safety in Doland. Kaman felt as if he was dreaming when he heard the promises one after another …
In the past, although Kaman had a huge amount of wealth and controlled more than half of the ore business in Doland, he knew very well that he was no different from an ant in the eyes of these powerhouses who were level-15 and above. They did not have to give him any face at all, because they would never have anything to ask of him.
At the end of the day, the Rosen Union was not the Glittergold Trade Union. It did not have a few Legendary powerhouses, nor did it have powerful fighters. Although it had some power, it would never gain enough respect in this city where the strong ruled.
But after the four magical weapons were sold, everything seemed to have changed …
Fortunately, Kaman was still clear-headed after the excitement. He did not forget that it was all because of the young mage in Black Clouds Town, the young mage who made him lose half of his men the first time he met him. Of course, a month later, Kaman's mood was completely different. He was even glad that he had brought his men to Black Clouds Town to cause trouble. Otherwise, how would he have had the chance to meet Mage Felic?
After all, not everyone had the chance to meet a Smithing Master …
Of course, Lin Li did not know the complicated process, and he was not interested in it anyway. The only thing he was interested in now was that batch of Ice Crystal Iron. It was said that it was a rare magical metal that could only be found in the tundra of the polar regions. Weapons forged from it were not only extremely sharp, but also highly corrosive. Once hit, even dragon scales could be torn open …
However, the most frightening thing about the Ice Crystal Iron was not that it could be used to forge weapons, but that it could be made into bolts. This was especially so for the ballistae used for defense. Once they were equipped with bolts made of Ice Crystal Iron, they would be able to kill people like flies. Lin Li still remembered the 50 ballistae on the city walls of Bright Moon City in the Endless World. They were equipped with bolts made of Ice Crystal Iron, and it was said that even gods in the Soul Formation Stage would be shot down by a volley of bolts …
When Kaman said that the dwarf had brought over a carriage of Ice Crystal Iron, Lin Li knew that the problem he had been worrying about had been solved. Although building the tower in a place like Black Clouds Town could avoid a lot of trouble, there was still a problem that troubled Lin Li — defense. Black Clouds Town was easily accessible, and it was located on a plain. If he were to encounter an attack from a force like Shadow's Nest, wouldn't he repeat the mistakes of the Emerald Tower?
The appearance of this batch of Ice Crystal Iron solved that problem. Ten ballistas for one might not be able to shoot down a god's avatar, but it should be able to kill anyone below level-20.
"Let's go to Doland!" Lin Li almost couldn't wait to get Norfeller to drive the carriage towards Doland with Kaman.
"Mage Felic …" Kaman sat in the carriage, and very carefully shifted his body to distance himself from Norfeller. Perhaps it was because the scene was too bloody when they first met, Kaman had always been afraid of Norfeller. Every time he got a little closer to this pale youth, he would feel goosebumps all over his body …
"What is it?"
"Do you want to reconsider? A million gold coins isn't a small sum …" Kaman hesitated for a moment before stuttering out his thoughts. To be honest, a million gold coins was a little too expensive in Kaman's opinion …
"Hehe, we'll talk about it when the time comes …" But to Lin Li, a million gold coins was not expensive at all. Perhaps others did not know the value of Ice Crystal Iron, but Lin Li knew it very well. It was a rare magical metal that could only be found in the frozen tundra of the polar regions for thousands of years. Even a piece the size of a fist was extremely precious, what more an entire carriage?
While a million gold coins was not a small sum, it was still money at the end of the day. If Lin Li wanted to, he could earn another million gold coins at any time. However, an entire carriage of Ice Crystal Iron was not something that he would come across often.
The carriage slowly entered Doland, and the streets on both sides were crowded with people. Doland was always like this in the morning — crowded and chaotic, just like a huge city where everyone was busy making a living. Even the air seemed to be filled with the smell of busyness. The ore exchange of the Rosen Union was in the south of Doland, near the Adventurers Guild. Kaman had to admit that he had a good eye. While this was not a wealthy area, it was the base camp of Doland's adventurers. The Adventurers that came and went every day brought Kaman countless business opportunities. It was no exaggeration to say that at least half of the Rosen Union's wealth today was provided by the adventurers.
When the three of them alighted from the carriage, the exchange was unusually lively. There were at least ten people gathered outside the door, all of them discussing something. Just as Lin Li stepped onto the steps, he saw Kaman's expression change …
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, Mage Felic, I think I'm in a bit of trouble …" Kaman's face paled as he looked at the crowd surrounding the exchange.
Just as Kaman finished speaking, a curse suddenly came out from the crowd, "F * ck, you idiots, hurry up and tell your boss to come out. I don't have much patience. If you piss me off, I'll burn down your black shop!"
"What kind of person is so irritable …" Lin Li muttered to himself as he rubbed his nose. Kaman was a wealthy man, after all, and yet he was being scolded by someone who took advantage of him. Today's matter was probably not as simple as "a little trouble" …
Of course, Lin Li was not interested in meddling in this matter. At the end of the day, he and Kaman were only working together temporarily, and could not even be considered partners. He was not a show-off, so why would he have the time to stand up for Kaman?
Lin Li was right. Just as he was mumbling to himself, the impatient fellow in the trading house had already started smashing things. With a loud clang, the trading house was smashed into pieces. Kaman wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he strode up the stairs, cursing, "Who the hell are you? How dare you cause trouble in the trading house of the Rosen Union!"
But, just as he finished cursing, Kaman's expression froze. "Young Master Lasorick, y-y-you … Why are you here …"
It was a young man in his twenties who walked out of the exchange. He looked plump, and his rotund body was comparable to Kaman's. He wore a flashy silver chainmail that shone like a light bulb under the sun.
"Dammit, Cayman, you've got some guts. You even dare to lie to me …" Fatty walked out of the trading center and stared at Cayman for a long while before he spoke in a neutral tone.
