Chapter 187: Tearful Sale

There are less than 100 people in Misty Valley.

Excluding those who don't plan to be professionals, who don't fight monsters, and who don't need weapons and armor at all;

Excluding those who want to be mages and priests;

There are only about a dozen people left who can digest the equipment made by Maren.

After Hugo has made the metal mineral raw materials he bought this time to meet the needs of the believers of the Church of Knowledge, he can also use the remaining materials to make a lot of light armor.

Maren didn't plan to use up all the raw materials. His previous shop in Ceylon City even almost only accepted orders for pre-order customization.

At that time, his reason was very simple:

"Ready-made standard products can't meet the needs of customers!"

"The equipment in our store is all produced by famous dwarf forgers. In order to meet the needs of customers as much as possible, your requirements will be sent to Stone Castle and made by Master Maren himself."

Of course, the actual reason is that he wants to control costs.

If the things he made can't be sold, he will suffer a big loss if they are recast.

Recasting is a very troublesome thing. On the one hand, it wastes time and fuel. On the other hand, during the forging process, he mixes various metal minerals to forge the finished product. The same raw material ratio is suitable for forging armor, but it may not be suitable for forging weapons.

This time, Hugo firmly said that Maren could forge it without any worries and use up all the raw materials.

So there were more than a dozen sets of iron light armor in the store.

The light armor has different shapes, and generally they simply protect important parts such as the chest, hands, and waist, which can provide a certain degree of defense.

Of course, as for those parts that are not protected and exposed.

If you are hit in the battle, you have to rely on yourself.

Hugo received this batch of light armor that Maren had just forged with satisfaction.

Now Hugo is not short of points, but gold coins. After all, the money he earned is basically used to buy metal minerals.

He called a few refugees he had recruited before and promised to give a certain amount of knowledge points as a reward. These new believers then helped Hugo carry things.

...

Following the familiar route, he sneaked through [Past Glory] again and returned to the territory of the Kingdom of Reyak.

This time, Hugo did not go to Ceylon City, but took his men around and went directly to Ceylon Line 3!

Hugo found a place in the purchase market behind the line of defense, and directed the new believers who helped him to take out the light armor they brought from the package and put it on their "stall".

When it was evening, when the adventurers and mercenaries dragged their spoils to the purchase market, Hugo seized the opportunity and shouted loudly:

"High-quality light armor carefully made by dwarf forgers!"

"Excellent protection!"

"Add a layer of intimate protection for your adventure and battle!"

"Take a look! Take a look!"

"Please look, everyone, this is the quality of real dwarf products!"

Hugo's shouting naturally attracted the attention of many adventurers.

Of course, this attention... is not positive.

The quality of weapons and armor produced by dwarves is well-known on the continent, and the high price is also famous.

Not only do they charge gold coins for every product, but the production is also very limited.

Some blacksmith shops even treat the masterpieces of dwarf masters as their treasures, put them in the most conspicuous place in the store, and maintain them regularly.

In short, dwarf products are never hard to sell, and they are often of high quality. Normally, they will not be sold in places like Ceylon Line 3, let alone just setting up a street stall.

The small market here in Ceylon Line 3 is basically a place for merchants who buy monster materials.

If it is really a dwarf product, how could it be "degraded" to set up a stall here to sell?

What's more, the guy who set up the stall is a goblin who is notoriously unreliable and good at taking advantage of loopholes on the continent!

"Is it fake?"

"It's hard to say whether it's made of metal or not. Maybe it's painted on the outside."

"Maybe there's a trick where you get three times the compensation for a fake product, but the compensation turns out to be all fake. I was fooled last time!"

"..."

Hugo was not surprised by people's reactions and discussions. He looked at the adventurers with his big eyes and picked a suitable "lucky guy".

[The Secret of Everything] The divine art can see that the dagger on the opponent's waist is not rated high, probably at the level of an ordinary human blacksmith.

"Sir! This sir! Yes, it's you!"

Hugo waved at the other party.

"You will know if the things I sell are of the quality of a real dwarf blacksmith after you try it!"

"Use your weapon to find a piece of light armor to attack!"

"Don't worry, don't worry! There are so many people watching. This is not a scam or a trick!"

Hugo is very confident.

The confidence comes from his understanding of Maren.

This guy does have some skills, otherwise he wouldn't dare to cheat under the name of "Dwarf Forger".

Moreover, now that he has offered his faith to the God of Knowledge and become a believer, he has really exchanged his knowledge points to learn and master the magic of the God of Forging.

With the blessing of the magic, the quality of the products is actually comparable to that of real dwarves.

With weapons of ordinary human forgers, it is difficult to leave obvious marks on these light armors, let alone damage them!

The adventurer called by Hugo walked forward a little unbelievably: "Let me do whatever I want?"

"It's okay if it's damaged?"

Hugo promised: "If it's broken, I'll give it away for free!"

The adventurer confirmed again: "There are so many people around here, everyone heard it, don't cheat!"

Hugo's hawking, especially the claim that these light armors were made by dwarf forgers, did attract many adventurers and mercenaries to stop nearby to watch the fun.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to watch, and there's nothing fun for them to rest at the border defense line at night, so why not stay here and watch.

"Please!" Hugo made way.

The adventurer drew out the short sword on his waist and slashed at the shiny iron light armor with all his strength!

"Zheng!!!"

When the metals collided, a hard and sharp sound suddenly sounded, which made the adventurer's knuckles hurt slightly. He really used his strength.

He looked at the light armor again.

There was almost no change in the location that was attacked, let alone any obvious cracks, not even a shallow mark could be found!

"Hiss..."

The adventurer took a breath in shock.

Although his weapon was not of very good quality, and he did not use rage in this attack, if he had used shoddy armor, it would definitely be damaged.

The light armor was intact. There was only one possibility, it was really the quality of armor produced by a dwarf forger!

Hugo took advantage of the surprise of the adventurers and mercenaries watching and dropped a bombshell:

"With such excellent protective performance, I will give you a chance to pick it up today. I am selling it at a big discount with tears in my eyes!"
