Chapter 174: Black Iron Contract (Third Update)
Not long after Shi Feng entered White River City.
Players in the entire White River City area have entered a state of madness, and so have the various major guilds, which have begun to actively form groups to farm monsters and upgrade, all thinking about entering White River City as soon as possible.
However, the more you farm monsters in the high-level monster area, the more problems you will encounter, not to mention the increasing number of players in the advanced area, the problem of mutual robbery between the big guilds, and the durability of weapons and equipment alone, which makes these big guilds have a headache to death.
"Hasn't the whetstone arrived yet? The durability of the Elite Regiment's weapons is now almost at its limit. Piercing Heart asked in the team channel.
"There has been news from that side, the forgers have been rushing to make a batch, and they are rushing here to send it." A ranger said.
"How many were delivered?" Thorn Heart asked.
"Five sets of whetstones, 100." The ranger whispered in embarrassment.
"How come it's only 100, didn't we buy more than 500 solid stones?" Thorn Heart's face sank, it was very ugly, their current elite group has more than sixty people farming monsters in the level 10 monster area, a whetstone can restore 3 to 7 points of durability, and 100 whetstones will be gone after more than an hour at most.
"The five hundred solid stones have been used up, and we are also buying a large number of them, but we can't receive them at all, many players have used them to exchange sharpening stones with forgers, and we have sent a lot of newcomers to the Dark Moon Valley to farm stones, but after the upgrade of the god domain system, the output of solid stones is much lower."
"And the more than ten blacksmiths we have trained are all junior apprentices, and the success rate of making whetstones is not high, if it is an intermediate apprentice. It's much easier to make a whetstone, so you don't have to waste a lot of sturdy stones. However, the improvement of the forging science is too slow, and now they are still far from being promoted to intermediate apprentices. ”
The ranger was embarrassed as he explained. Their guild has long paid great attention to training forgers and potionsmen, but with so much money and resources invested, there has been no improvement so far.
"Alas......" The more I listened, the more worried I became, and I sighed deeply.
At this time, he realized the importance of the forging master, although the guild had paid attention to cultivating the forging master a long time ago, and had collected a lot of resources and invested a lot of money to cultivate, but he didn't expect how difficult it was to improve the forging science, if there was an intermediate apprentice in the guild at this time. Then there won't be such a shortage of whetstones now.
"I see, let the members of the elite group save some money, and minimize the contact with the monster's weapons, which can also slow down the loss of durability somewhat, but let the peripheral members increase their efforts to collect solid stones." Piercing Heart said helplessly.
It's just a whetstone, and it makes the second-rate top guild assassin alliance so poor, of course, it's not that they don't have money, but a solid stone that they can't buy, let alone buy a whetstone. Even if a set of whetstones sells for 10 silver coins, he will not hesitate to buy them at this time, but unfortunately they are not sold at all.
In fact, not only the Assassin Alliance, but also the guilds of the entire Star and Moon Kingdom are extremely eager for whetstones. It's just that it's not as nervous as White River City, and guilds like White River City are all burning their eyebrows, and the durability of their weapons is dropping too quickly. You can't fight for a long time, but how can you fight monsters without weapons. Obviously, such a large guild can't find a forger who can make whetstones in large quantities.
The number of elites in the ordinary guilds in the high-level monster area in the town is generally more than thirty, and the number of elites in the high-level monster area in a third-rate guild in the entire White River City is more than five or six hundred. There are more than 1,000 second-rate guilds, and more than 3,000 or 4,000 first-class guilds, not to mention the vast number of free players, it can be said that the demand for whetstones in the entire White River City area is very large.
However, now every guild is frantically hitting level 10, making the price of solid stones rise again and again, and it has reached the high price of a set of 1 silver and 20 copper, but such a high price still can't be received......
White River City, City Hall.
Unconsciously, Shi Feng had been waiting for more than half an hour.
In more than half an hour, Shi Feng finally sorted out the information materials of White River City, which had considerable gold content for the guild of White River City that didn't know anything.
And this information is divided into two kinds, one is the simplified version, the other is the luxury version, after reading the simplified version, I only have a general understanding of White River City, such as the big bazaar held every three days in White River City, but there is no introduction in the distribution of resources, and there is a certain introduction in the luxury version, but it is also roughly said, such as those places are suitable for those professions to upgrade, and those places have more resources and so on, which is what the big guilds need most.
Originally, Shi Feng also sold them to these guilds one by one to earn gold coins, but it was too troublesome to do so, and what I lacked the most now was not gold coins, but credits, after Shi Feng thought about it for a long time, he finally sold them on the forum of the official website, in the form of credits, the simplified version is specifically for free players, and the luxury version is for guilds.
The simplified version costs 300 credits, and with this simplified version is equivalent to buying a city guide book, so that you won't be at a loss and have nothing to do after coming to White River City.
The luxury version costs 20,000 credits, not that Shi Feng is ruthless, although the information on this will be known to these guilds sooner or later, but it will take them a lot of time to understand, according to Shi Feng's guess, it will take at least two or three days, and the information he gave is not as accurate, two or three days is absolutely precious for the big guild, and naturally they don't care about the 20,000 credits.
"Lord Witcher, Lord Wiseman, Archon Wiseman is waiting for you in the living room, please come with me." The beautiful staff suddenly walked up to Shi Feng and said softly.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Shi Feng got up and nodded slightly, and followed the beautiful staff to the living room on the second floor.
Walking into the spacious and elegant living room, the person waiting was a man in his fifties dressed in a silver-gray robe, well-dressed, holding a dark blue gemstone staff in his hand, standing quietly by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
And this person is Wiseman, the archon of White River City, and he is also a fourth-order magister, with a level of up to 200, he is definitely one of the strongest people in White River City, even if Wiseman stands quietly, Shi Feng can clearly feel that the magic elements in the entire living room are frantically gathered around Wiseman, forming a very weak magic field, which makes people feel the pressure increase dramatically.
This is not what Wiseman did on purpose, but unconsciously, this is the terrifying of a fourth-order powerhouse, if Wiseman can use this magic realm, I am afraid that Shi Feng will be wiped out in an instant.
On the surface, Wiseman is only in his fifties, but in fact, he is actually more than a hundred years old, and he is definitely an old monster.
"Young man heard you have a letter of introduction from Blackbeard?" Wiseman asked as he looked at Shi Feng with a smile on his face.
The Witcher has a considerable deterrent effect on ordinary NPCs, but for a strong person like Wiseman, the title of Witcher is meaningless, and the status of the fourth-order profession alone is far beyond the status of the Witcher.
"Yes, this is what Mayor Blackbeard asked me to give to you." Shi Feng took out the letter of introduction and handed it to Wiseman.
After Wiseman took the envelope, he didn't open it, but sighed deeply, looked at Shi Feng and said, "It's finally here, I've been waiting for this letter for thirty years, but I didn't expect it to be a young man like you, and now it's time for me to fulfill that contract." (To be continued......)
