The so-called money, if it didn't have enough material support, then it was basically useless.
For example, in a desert, even if you had bags of gold, what could you do?
Without enough transactions in the market, the so-called money and currency were basically worthless.
This was the same for Chen Heng.
To him, his territory was completely destitute. Not to mention a market, he couldn't even find any merchants.
After a long period of war, almost all of the merchants who dared to come here had been chased away, and no one dared to stay here to do business.
This was the case even for those who did not care about their lives.
After all, in this place, no one would do business with them.
Those ferocious Beastmen wouldn't even think of trading with them when they saw them. Instead, they would want to kill them. Not only would they want to rob them of their belongings, but even their corpses would become delicacies for the Beastmen.
Perhaps even their bones would be used by the Orcs to grind their teeth.
As such, even though Chen Heng had money, it would be difficult for him to make full use of it.
Compared to ordinary coins, what he lacked right now was some other hard currency, such as food and weapons.
"Is that so …"
Hearing Chen Heng's request, Maili and the other two looked quite troubled, "Exchanging those for food isn't a problem …"
"It's just that the terrain around here and those Orcs …"
They looked quite troubled and could not help but say this.
This matter was indeed quite troublesome.
Under the current circumstances, the region that Chen Heng was in was not only inconvenient to travel to, but there were also many Orcs scattered around.
To ordinary people, those Orcs were a massive threat.
If it was just the two of them, then the Beastmen were nothing to them. If it was just the two of them, then they could just slip away.
However, if they wanted to transport large amounts of food, that would be a big problem.
"I don't want to care about that …"
Looking at the two mages, Chen Heng gave a slight smile and said calmly, "I'm sure that if you are not willing, there are many capable mages who are willing to help me …"
Hearing this, the two mages' expressions fell.
Following this, Chen Heng's voice once again sounded out.
"Of course, out of our friendship, I'm willing to help."
Looking at the two people's expressions, Chen Heng's smile did not change as he continued to speak, "I can guarantee that in half a month, at least within my territory, the Orcs will greatly decrease in numbers.
"You can wait until then to bring the food over."
"Is that so …"
Hearing this, Maili and Ali exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief.
With Chen Heng's strength as a 2-Ring Warlock, his promise was quite effective.
At least compared to other people, the strength of a Level 2 Warlock was enough to deal with the beastmen.
Not to mention expelling all the Beastmen, just protecting one path shouldn't be a problem.
"With your promise, we can rest assured."
The two of them thought for a moment and could not resist the temptation of those magic items. They nodded to Chen Heng and said, "Don't worry."
"We will definitely give you what you need within the stipulated time."
Hearing this, Chen Heng gave a slight smile.
"That couldn't be better."
"I hereby give you my word."
"If this transaction goes smoothly, I will take out even more items to trade with you."
"I still have a lot of precious collections with me …"
He said softly as he looked at Mai Li and the other person.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Mai Li and the other two lit up.
.....
Following this, Maili and Ali walked out of the room.
After walking out of the room, they still had not calmed down and were still quite excited.
"Goddess of Magic, our chance has finally come!"
After walking out of the room, Ali gripped his fists with an excited look on his face.
Beside him, because Maili was older, he seemed even calmer. However, he could not hide the excitement on his face.
Evidently, what Chen Heng had just told them was great news for both of them.
"It's hard to imagine …"
Thinking back to the treasures in Chen Heng's hands, Maili could not help but say, "I never thought that the Hadim family would have such a massive foundation …
"Even though most of those magic items are damaged, they were definitely top-notch items in the past.
"Even though they're damaged, they're still very valuable.
"It's hard to imagine that we would be able to obtain these treasures, and all we have to pay is some cheap food."
The two of them could not hide the excitement on their faces.
To them, they had profited greatly from this transaction.
For mages, only spells and magic items were precious. Everything related to magic was extremely precious. Some of them were things that couldn't be bought even if you were willing to pay for them.
From how they saw it, the things that Chen Heng had taken out belonged to this category.
The things that Chen Heng had taken out came from the historical remnant that he had obtained divinity from.
That historical remnant seemed to have existed for many years, and there were many corpses of adventurers within it.
Next to those corpses were the magic items and materials that they had brought with them.
The things that Chen Heng had taken out came from there.
Even though they were things left behind by adventurers, for those adventurers to be able to withstand the divinity pressure in that region and reach the core region meant that they had been incredibly powerful when they had been alive. All of them were above Chen Heng's.
Moreover, the equipment that these people had used when they had been alive were all incredibly high-grade items. Even though they were damaged, they were still incredibly valuable and could make this world's mages go crazy over them.
Two thousand gold coins per item was not very expensive.
As for Maili and Maili, as long as they took these things back to a suitable place and sold them, they would be able to obtain an even higher price.
In order to obtain these things, those mages would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy them back.
However, it was evident that unless they had no other choice, they would not do such a thing.
In order to obtain such a precious magical item, the only thing they had to pay was some cheap food in their eyes.
To different people, the same thing was worth different things.
From Chen Heng's perspective, food was precious.
But from a mage's point of view, the so-called food was nothing more than some cheap toys.
As a mage, they were nobles and naturally had good living conditions.
Moreover, they were not like nobles and did not need to directly govern the people, so they naturally did not need large amounts of food.
Moreover, even though the Kalo Kingdom lacked food, this was not the case for other places.
This was especially so for a magic city like Ai Mu.
This world's mages researched all sorts of magic, and many of them could be used in production.
For the group of mages, they only needed to set up some magic circles on the land and cast some spells that could be used for production on a regular basis. Then, they would be able to make the land rich.
Within Ai Mu City, the price of food was not very high.
Even excluding the cost of transporting the food, the amount that Chen Heng needed was not much to them and could be easily bought.
"Ali, I think we need to have a detailed plan."
After a while, Maili calmed down and looked at Ali as he said, "That sir has quite a few good things …"
"That's right."
Hearing Maili's words, Ali calmed down and nodded, "I think we can't let anyone else know about this.
Otherwise, when the time comes, it will not be our turn. "
"Indeed."
Hearing Ali's words, Maili nodded.
In order to make them work harder for him, Chen Heng had taken out many good things.
There were all sorts of broken or usable magic items, all sorts of precious materials, and even some experts' bone powder.
The things in front were basically left behind by the adventurers in the past. As for the bone powder, it was the same.
Even if experts died, their corpses were still incredibly precious materials. Even their bones could be used to refine magic items.
As a Sorcerer, Chen Heng knew how precious those corpses were, so he did not let them go.
Back then, before leaving the historical remnant, he had melted those corpses with his flame power, turning them into bottles of bone powder, and brought them out.
To Maili and Ali, these things were also incredibly precious materials, and they were worth it.
There was no other way.
Even though Sorcerers were wealthy, they also expended a lot of resources.
Some materials related to Sorcerers were extremely expensive, and there were many things that could not be bought.
For example, under normal circumstances, even if one had enough gold coins, one would not be able to buy those materials.
There were only a few experts in this world; how could there be so many corpses for one to waste?
To them, the materials in Chen Heng's hands were incredibly tempting.
As such, they would definitely work hard to complete Chen Heng's quests until they emptied out all of Chen Heng's possessions.
Before that, they would definitely do their best to serve Chen Heng.
They stayed where they were and discussed for a while. After coming up with some plans, they excitedly left the place.
Within the room from before, Chen Heng was still sitting there.
He seemed to have sensed something when the two of them left. He raised his head and looked in the direction they left with a smile.
"Sir …"
By the side, Hedoshiri spoke softly, looking at Chen Heng as if he wanted to say something.
"What is it?"
Looking at Hedoshiri in front of him, Chen Heng smiled and said softly.
"It's nothing …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Hedoshiri hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, is it fine for you to give those things to them?
"Those things, if we can put them in other places, or even directly sell them in Ai Mu City, they should …"
Be able to fetch a better price, right? "
Looking at Hedoshiri in front of him, Chen Heng smiled and immediately understood what he was thinking.
"In theory, that should be the case."
He thought for a moment, then stood up silently, looked at Hedoxili in front of him, and said calmly, "If the things I took out before could be sold in the corresponding places, the price would at least be a lot higher."
"That's why those two Sorcerers were so excited.
However, there's no need for that. "
He shook his head and continued, "No matter when, if you want to last for a long time, you can't be too optimistic.
"Sometimes, it might be better to leave a little space for yourself."
Chen Heng said.
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Hedoxili paused, as if he still did not understand what Chen Heng was saying.
Looking at him, Chen Heng could only continue.
"Just like the situation in front of us …"
He looked at Hedoshiri and asked, "If we go according to your plan and sell those things in Amu City, what should we do?
How do we go there? Who do we send? How do we ensure that the prices will not be forced down? "
Speaking to there, he paused before continuing, "Most importantly, how do we ensure that the gold coins will be turned into food and weapons, and how do we transport them back?
"What if something goes wrong in the middle of the whole process? What if something happens to the food and it's stolen? Just how much risk is involved? "
He looked at Hedoshiri in front of him and asked a lot of questions.
"This …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Hedoshiri felt quite stunned and speechless.
But at this time, he also somewhat understood.
"Even though the price is slightly lower if we sell it to them directly, we can save a lot of costs in the process. Moreover, we can transfer the biggest risk to them."
Standing there, Chen Heng said softly, "That's the goal."
"I understand."
Hearing this, Hedoshiri came to a realization.
Standing there and looking at Hedoshiri, Chen Heng smiled and did not say anything else.
What he did not say was that there was another reason why he had made this choice.
To him, those things were not much at all.
After all, putting aside his own strength, he was still an Artifact Forging Master.
The so-called magic items in this world were not worth much to him.
That was the true reason.
.....
"Apart from food and weapons, we also need books for Meditation?"
On a road, two Sorcerers looked at the list that Chen Heng had given them and felt quite surprised, "There are even some basic materials …"
"Sir, could it be that you want to grasp Sorcerer's power?"
Looking at the list in front of them, they could not help but think to themselves.
In the list that Chen Heng had given them, most of the things related to Sorcerers were materials and books that Sorcerers who had just started out needed.
It seemed that he also wanted to grasp a portion of Sorcerer's power.
This was indeed a strange thing.
Everyone knew that Warlocks' power came from their bloodlines.
Because of how powerful their bloodlines were, Warlocks who had awakened their extraordinary bloodlines often had good talent in other areas.
However, under normal circumstances, powerful Warlocks would not have the time to learn and grasp other powers.
After all, under normal circumstances, it was too easy for them to obtain power.
The power that came too easily not only gave them a noble status, but it also made them lose their patience to study other systems.
After all, bloodlines could increase a person's constitution and power, but they could not change a person's mind.
Even after awakening, a salted fish that had nothing to do would still be a salted fish. At most, it would be a salted fish with power.
As such, Warlocks taking the initiative to research other systems was something new in this world.
The two Sorcerers had never thought that Chen Heng would have such thoughts.
However, they did not feel that it was strange.
In any case, being enterprising was a good thing.
Moreover, even though the things on the list would be quite difficult for others to collect, they were quite simple for these two Sorcerers.
In Ai Mu City, the corresponding basic teaching materials and materials were not everywhere, but they were not hard to obtain either.
Moreover, this would help them complete a portion of their quota, allowing them to complete their mission ahead of time.
From this point of view, it seemed to be not bad.
As they thought about it, they could not help but think to themselves.
Time gradually passed.
In the following period of time, Chen Heng's surroundings gradually became peaceful.
Every day, apart from his daily training, he would patrol the various places and clear out the orcs in the surroundings.
Under his efforts, the number of orcs in the surroundings had gradually decreased. At least in the surroundings of the town, there were very few traces of those things.
Of course, the situation was the same further away from the town.
Under the current circumstances, it was already quite good that Chen Heng could maintain peace in this region. He did not have the ability to deal with the situation further away.
As time passed, refugees from all over began to gather.
Under the leadership of Hedoshiri and the others, these refugees were settled in various places and established villages. They began to cultivate and farm.
Looking at the time, they had already missed the planting time for wheat and other main crops.
Despite this, they could still plant some vegetables that were suitable for the time being.
Even though they could not rely on this to fill their stomachs, they could at least make up for the lack of food.
