Chapter 029. Zhivadin's caravan

New buildings appear.

It is located on the west side of the Consulate Hall, covering an area of nearly 200 square meters, which is level with the five Swadia houses.

It's like two parallel lines.

These are buildings and streets that Kant designed in advance.

But on closer inspection, Kant also noticed that the grocery store looked slightly rougher than other well-built buildings.

The stone pedestal is made of wood and twine, while the windows are deliberately open to open counters, all of which are nailed in thick wooden planks, and the windows are propped up from the bottom to the top on both sides to act as a tool for shading the sun.

However, the counter is now empty.

And the entire grocery store was empty, not to mention the merchants, and there were not even any goods for sale.

The system gives a prompt.

【Ding... Thanks to your efforts, the brand new building is complete. 】

[Main Quest: "The Value of the Dinar" completed]

【Reward: 1 × Grocery Store】

[Introduction: Now, the grocery store you own can be exchanged for dinars.] Of course, the premise is that you have an item that has "value" in the eyes of the system in order to exchange it for a dinar. 】

Kant's brow furrowed.

His eyes swept over the empty store, noticing the introduction on the dialog.

There are specially marked words.

Kant slowly repeated: "Valuable? ”

The words are simple.

It can be described as easy to understand.

But Kant just didn't understand what it meant to be a "valuable" object!

Big Silver?

Precious gold and silver jewelry?

When Kant was in the Lion Castle, he had negotiated with the system, and they couldn't be exchanged at all.

"System, I don't understand."

Kant frowned.

If you don't understand, you have to ask, so he connected his mind and said silently: "What is the value you marked?" ”

The system was silent.

But after a few seconds, he responded, "An item with magical powers." ”

"Items of magical powers?" Kant's brow furrowed even more.

This term is not simple.

"Yes."

The system replied simply: "Strange objects with effects such as [Enemy Deterrent] can be exchanged for dinars." ”

At this time, Kant was slightly silent.

Turning his head, the banner of "Deterring the Enemy" was still planted in front of the door of the Consulate.

Although there was no wind, it was still slightly fluttering.

The red background is embroidered with a golden lion, with teeth and claws, and it has its own deterrent.

It's as if you want to choose someone to eat.

"Strange things."

Kant spoke softly.

He had already thought about what the system wanted to be worthy of the word "value".

Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Kant said slowly, "Magic items? ”

"Yes." The system simply replied.

Kant smiled bitterly: "Sure enough. ”

In this world, in the world of swords and magic, since there are gnolls, dwarves, elves, orcs and other races, there are also mages, priests and other professions, and there are also some items with magical powers.

For example, magic items.

Of course, this kind of item with magical powers is also particularly precious.

Kant had learned a lot from the books of scholars, but he had only seen and come into contact with it in the room of his cheap father, Duke Cameron, the Lion Duke.

It was a suit of armor.

The interior consists of two layers of the finest chain mail, covered with a layer of scale armor.

It is one of the most precious treasures of the Lion Dukes in the past by the court mages of the Duchy of Lion, who are constantly enchanted with the power of mystical magic, which can reduce weight, strengthen defenses, and permanently remain stainless steel.

Even, as the second son of the duke, Kant was not qualified to touch it.

It can be seen that this kind of magic item is extremely precious.

If you want to acquire, in Kant's impression, it is simply difficult to enter the sky.

"What's the difference between that and not saying it?"

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Kant couldn't help but complain about the system.

This kind of thing that can be used as a family heritage, at least Kant has never seen a noble family sell it.

Even if the families of these nobles have entered decline, there are very few things related to the family heritage that are sold in history, after all, this kind of magic item can still revitalize the family, but once it is sold, the family is completely finished.

What's more, even if someone sells...

Kant didn't have the money to buy it!

"System, can you have some reliable suggestions?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Kant smiled bitterly.

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, the system responded.

This made Kant slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What is that?" ”

The system did not answer.

But what is given is a system task.

【Ding... Special Mission Release]

【Special Mission: Exploring the Mystery】

[Reward: 5,000 dinars.] 】

[Introduction: There seems to be a mysterious power hidden in the gnoll tribe in the depths of the desert, maybe you should go there and find the source of this mysterious power.] 】

Looking at the introduction, the task is simple.

It's scouting.

But Kant's brows furrowed tightly: "Exploring the mystery? ”

He's a good thinker.

So it was easy to discover the hidden meaning.

That's right.

This is indeed a scout.

However, the meaning given in the introduction of the system is that if the source of the so-called mysterious power is not investigated, then this task will not be completed at all.

This is a special task.

The last special mission asked Kant to investigate the military system of this world.

The reward is now the light crossbow on his back.

"But this time, it's a little difficult." He exhaled slowly.

It's more than difficult.

It's very hard!

Investigate the tribe of gnolls deep in the desert.

And this gnoll tribe is currently known to be the large gnoll tribe with a population of more than 2,500.

Want to investigate?

It's looking for death!

The swarming gnolls are estimated to be able to swallow up his entire sentry oasis, and with his troops of less than 80 people, it is simply self-defeating to resist 2,500 enemy troops!

Quantity has comprehensively crushed quality.

What's more, the quality of Kant's troops did not reach the level of one against ten.

"There is no completion date for special missions."

At this time, the system replied: "And it does not constitute a conflict with other tasks, and can be handled at your own discretion." ”

Kant nodded: "It's pretty much the same. ”

If there is really a conflict with other tasks, or if it must be completed, then Kant is really powerless, and now he has no way to obtain the dinar.

Even if you have this way, you can't quench your thirst!

The empty balance of funds, already showing that he will not have money at all to pay the salaries of the troops next week.

At the same time, even the money for development is gone.

【Ding... A caravan from Zhivadin arrived. 】

Suddenly, there was an elevation in the system.

Kant frowned slightly.

"Zhivadin's... Caravan? He was a little stunned.

And not far away, on the sand dunes on the north side, a Swadia militiaman ran down quickly, waved at them at the same time, and shouted: "There are unknown people approaching!" Unknown people approaching! ”

"Are you coming?"

Kant frowned, thinking of the so-called caravan.

However, he turned to the desert bandits waiting beside him and ordered, "Go over and have a look!" ”

"Understood."

The 16 desert bandits nodded, quickly turned on their horses, and galloped towards the sand dunes to the north.

After all, this is the Naren Desert, and they can't afford to let up.

Soon, however, the desert robbers returned with three wagons, followed by a few riders and a retinue on foot, unhurried, and chatting and laughing.

Obviously, this is not the enemy.

Gradually, they leaned in.

And on the roof of Dehrim, the militia in charge of defense also watched them vigilantly with hunting crossbows.

"My lord, they brought it."

The desert robbers rode their horses and respectfully reported to Kant, "It's Zhivadin's caravan. ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded.

At the same time, looking at the Zhivading caravan composed of 3 carriages, 1 caravan leader, 6 caravan guards, and 12 mercenary sentries, his heart was also a little calmer, even if this group of people was still carrying weapons.

He knew that these were indeed in-game caravans.

The leader of the caravan was very tactful.

Seeing the appearance of the desert robbers treating Kant respectfully, how do you not know that this is the main master?

Hurriedly glanced at the six caravan guards behind him, who were also riding horses, jumped off their horses one after another, and respectfully bent down and said in unison: "Honorable Lord Svadia, the caravan from Vicchiarivadin, I would like to pay you the highest respect. ”

PS: I went out yesterday, sorry. At least three shifts today.
