Chapter 2 Mithril Ore

The day passed quickly, and when the first rays of sunlight in the game hit the earth, in the grass between the two fortresses facing each other, a figure suddenly appeared shrouded in a black cloak, and the leaf marks were on the line.

Since it was already dusk when I arrived here yesterday, I couldn't see the faces of the two fortresses clearly, and it was only now that Ye Zhen realized how majestic these two fortresses were. The thick city wall alone is at least 30 meters high, and the hard bluestone bricks are crisscrossed by ravines on the outer surface, and you can see at a glance that they are traces left by the war. Before the period when the two tigers were fighting, the four countries on the continent were in a state of chaos, and as long as they were close to the border, they absolutely fought each other, and it was an extremely chaotic era.

Even now, the estrangement between the countries on the Yilan continent has not disappeared, not only is there very little contact between the four countries, but the border guards will also closely check the past NPCs and players, and it is difficult to leave the country. Of course, once the player is level 30, they will be able to enter and exit the stronghold freely. You can even take an airship directly from Loulan City and fly straight to the main cities of other countries.

Within the close surveillance of both fortresses, Ye Scar did not dare to be careless, and first started stealth, only to break out of the grass and touch towards the steel fortress.

Like Fort Tucker, the gates of the Steel Fortress are lined with two rows of silver-armored guards armed with greatswords, but unlike Loulan, almost all of Grimm's armies are under the authority of the Holy Church. Although there is a king in the Kingdom of Green, it is only a symbol, and the real ruling organization is the Holy Church ruled by the Pope.

After cautiously passing through the city gate before entering this majestic fortress, Ye Zhen suddenly received a system prompt.

System: You have stepped into the territory of the Kingdom of Grimm, and since you are not a citizen of the country, all castes drop by 10%.

The sudden sound of the system prompt made Ye Zhen flurry, and he quickly remembered. The restrictions on the regional surname of nationality in the game are somewhat strict, and it is rumored that it is specially set up for the national war that will be opened in the future, mainly to regulate the imbalance of guild power between countries and enhance the game's playable surname.

In his previous life, although Ye Zhen had never been to other countries, he had seen such posts on the forum, and at that time, the players were arguing very much about this drop with obvious local protectionist flavors. Most guild players agree that since it's a game, it should be treated consistently. The vast majority of casual players think that this premise is feasible, after all, no one wants to be trampled on their own turf. In the end, the game official did not stand up to give an explanation, and the matter ended in the end.

Walking into the Steel Fortress, the city is somewhat similar to Tucker Fort, full of weapons and armor shops, and a large number of strategic materials are hoarded in the fortress.

Unlike before, Ye Zhen did not rush out of the city, but cautiously came to the gap between the two buildings and lifted his invisibility. As far as he knew, there were some lucrative business opportunities in the fortress.

Although there were no NPC guards on the street, Ye Zhen did not dare to be careless, and tried his best to learn the walking posture of NPCs and walk on the street. While paying attention to the movements around him, he quietly inspected the shops on both sides of the street, and it was not until he came to an ore shop that Ye Scar stopped.

The owner of the ore shop was an old man with a red beard named York, who had been trading in the fortress for decades and had a very good eye.

After seeing the seemingly mysterious person walk in, Old York quickly greeted him, and since the fortress was not open to players at this time, the business of the ore shop was very bleak. Except for the regular supply of some to the guard corps in the fortress, there are basically no buyers, you must know that this is a time of peace, and there is not much market for such things as ore for NPCs.

"Dear warrior, do you want to buy ore or smelt ore, York is willing to serve you!" Old York bowed his body and beckoned.

Looking at the ores of various colors that were placed around randomly, Ye Zhen frowned slightly, and said straight to the point, "Please show me the price list of ores." ”

"Dear guest, I'm really sorry, because I haven't had customers for too long, the price list in the store has long been gone." Old York's wrinkled skin was twisted into a bitter melon shape, and the only customer guard of the ore shop never came to his shop to pick up the goods, and every time he pushed his small cart to deliver the ore.

"Then you can give me a quote, for example, how much are these black copper ore and white lead ore a piece?" Ye Zhen casually pointed to a few of the more common ores under his feet.

"Cuprite is 1 silver coin, white lead ore is more expensive, 1 silver and 20 copper coins, and these iodine silver ores are two silver coins a piece, siderite is 4 silver coins, chalcoccite 8 silver coins..."

Old York kept quoting the price, but the corner of his eye kept scanning Ye Scar's attitude, but because of the black cloak, he couldn't see Ye Scar's face at all.

At this time, Ye Zhen, in addition to being shocked or shocked, it must be known that in Loulan City, even the price of the system store to acquire black copper ore is two silver coins, not to mention that the price in the player's market is at least twice as high. In the shop of the old man York, he only sold 1 silver coin. This made Ye Scar extremely happy.

Looking at the backpack, there were still 527 gold coins, which was still the 300 gold coins that Ye Zhen had taken from the Bright Pharmacy when he left. It seems that he must make a few big deals in the Kingdom of Green as soon as possible, and things like the last time must not happen to him again.

"What's the best ore?" Ye Zhen asked quietly.

Hearing Ye Zhen's voice, Old York's dim eyes flickered a few times, and his expression became more respectful, "Honorable lord, the best ore in the small shop is in the warehouse on the second floor, please wait a moment, I will go and take it out for you now." ”

When York slowly walked down from the upper floor holding a piece of ore flowing with silver-white light all over his body, Ye Zhen's pupils contracted violently, and he exclaimed, "This is Mithril ore?" ”

Although he has not practiced a deputy position, Ye Zhen, who often browses the official website, knows that Mithril Ore is an ore that can only be mined by high-level blacksmiths, and as long as it is successfully minted, it will be at least silver-level weapons and armor, and there is even a certain chance that gold equipment can be crafted. At this time, there are basically no players in the game who have trained to the advanced level, and Mithril Mine can be said to be a legendary existence in the game at this time.

"Your Excellency's vision is really unique, this is indeed one of the high-grade ores, Mithril ore." York's eyes were full of shock, he was about to show off a few times in front of Ye Zhen, but he didn't expect that Ye Zhen recognized the Mithril ore at a glance, which made him a little overwhelmed for a while when he wanted to make a big deal just now.

"How many Mithril ores do you have in total?" Ye Zhen asked impatiently.

"There are four hundred and eighty-one pieces in total, my lordship, this is a number that can only be reached after decades of accumulation. I'm sure I'll pat my chest that even if it's the entire Steel Fortress, it's only Old York who can come up with so much Mithril ore. ”

"Tell me, how much is a piece." Looking at York's boastful expression, Ye Zhen asked angrily. Anyway, as long as it doesn't exceed his bottom line, even if it is to take out the liquidity of the Bright Pharmacy to buy these Mithril ores first, it will be worth it.

Seeing that Ye Zhen seemed to be a little impatient, York was a little anxious, and hurriedly flattered, "My lord, you are so wise and wise, you must also know the value of Mithril ore, and the villain is willing to transfer these Mithril ores to you at the price of 1 gold coin per piece, I don't know what you think." ”

"1 gold coin?" Ye Zhen subconsciously asked, he originally thought that these Mithril ores would cost seven or eight gold coins no matter how cheap they were, but York's bid made him unable to calm down any longer.

"Don't worry, my lord, if you want them all, the price can be negotiated, 481 pieces of Mithril ore, how about you pay 400 gold coins?" York thought that the man in black in front of him thought that the price was too high, so he hurriedly grabbed Ye Zhen's arm, and wanted to beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother that he wanted Ye Zhen to buy all the Mithril ore.

……

Coming out of the ore shop, Leaf Mark came to the street with a backpack full of Mithril ore, and then dialed the voice of the falling moon. Although Mithril ore has a chance to mint gold equipment, it doesn't have much attraction for him, and all he wants is gold coins.

"Hello Traceless, is there something wrong?" Luoyue's voice was slightly tired, she had been busy remedying for the after-effects of the guild war these days, and she was so busy that even the hardest people would be exhausted.

"President Falling Moon, I recently acquired a batch of Mithril ore, I wonder if your guild is interested?" Ye Zhen got straight to the point, and he always had a trace of inexplicable feelings in his heart about the sword and the rose. Although he is a little disdainful of being a streamer, but now is the most difficult period for Sword and Rose, and he still can't help but want to help Luoyue and Brother Cannon.

"Yes, of course there is, I don't know where you are now, let's talk face to face." Luoyue suddenly came to her senses, and when she reached her level, she naturally knew about such a high-level item as Mithril ore. The day before yesterday, the Guild War suffered heavy losses in the Sword and Rose Melee Legion, and if an additional batch of gold equipment could fill the empty guild warehouse, it would be of great benefit to stabilize people's hearts.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in Loulan City now, so let's do it, I'll mail you 200 pieces of Mithril ore over, and the price is calculated as 10 gold coins a piece, what do you think." Ye Zhen expected that Luoyue would ask for a face-to-face interview, but he didn't want too many people to know that he was in Grimm, he had enough of the limelight, and it didn't seem to mean much other than causing trouble.

"Yes, I'll mail you the gold coins as well. Thank you, Traceless. Luo Yue's cold tone brought out a hint of warmth, with her eyesight, how could she not know that if Ye Zhen took these Mithril ores to auction, I am afraid that it would not be a problem to auction 20 gold coins. 200 pieces of Mithril ore, even with a 1/10 chance, can make 20 pieces of gold equipment, which is a great benefit to the empty guild warehouse.

"It's all friends, you're welcome, it's decided, I'll send you the ore later." Ye Zhen's words were very indifferent, and it was obvious that he didn't want Falling Moon to see that he still had a trace of nostalgia for Sword and Rose.

Hanging up the voice, Ye Zhen took a deep breath and walked to the system in the steel fortress...
