Don't call me evil god

"Only 99 silver coins!"

"Yes, you heard it right!"

"Not 20 gold coins, let alone 10 gold coins!"

"Such excellent light armor is now only sold for 99 silver coins!"

"What are you still hesitating about? The armor that can save your life at a critical moment is only 99 silver coins!"

"This is not a set of light armor, but a guarantee of safety!"

"..."

The crowd of onlookers exploded.

Because the price Hugo offered was really - too low!

The manufacturing cost of armor is much higher than that of weapons.

Even light armor that is relatively easy to produce and does not require much raw materials often costs 2 to 4 times that of weapons of the same quality.

Not to mention the heavy armor with extremely exaggerated defense that almost completely wraps the body for protection.

Let's make a simple example for comparison.

The dwarf standard two-handed sword that Brandon bought cost less than 2 gold coins in total;

The light armor made by the dwarves that matched it was sold for as high as 4 gold coins.

It was even more frightening to change to heavy armor. The store at that time directly hung a sign saying "19 gold, no price reduction".

Brandon didn't even dare to look at the armor at that time.

The members of the Bloodfang Gang were basically "armorless" units, and the simple armor worn by several leaders were also the products of human blacksmiths.

The stories of the bards were all about a legendary adventurer who found a piece of fine armor made by dwarves buried for many years in his ancestral home.

Why didn't the adventurers go to the blacksmith shop to buy or customize one?

Because they couldn't afford it!

Hugo now told these adventurers that they could buy a set of light armor for only 99 silver?

What's the difference between this and giving it away for free? !

Even if they bought it and didn't wear it themselves, they would probably make a lot of money by selling it to the blacksmith shop that purchased dwarf weapons and armor!

Buy it and you'll make money!

Some people still have the last doubt: "Why are you selling it so cheap?"

Hugo immediately became dramatic, with a look of emotion:

"I once knew a dwarf friend named Maren, and I got these armors through his channels at the internal price of Stone Fort!"

"There are no middlemen who transfer them layer by layer. This batch of armor was brought here as soon as it came down from the forging table!"

"No other reason!"

"I was born and raised in Ceylon Territory. Now that I have the ability, I would rather make less money myself to ensure that you can use truly useful dwarf equipment. This is a sincere thank you for hunting monsters and protecting Ceylon Territory!"

When it comes to "emotional" parts, Hugo's eyes are red, and he even sheds a few tears.

"Woo woo... As fellow Ceylonians, I have always regarded you as my closest family and compatriots. You are all my brothers and sisters. How can I bear to see my family members being poisoned by monsters!"

"It is my wish to use this batch of armor to provide protection for everyone's adventure!"

"Family members, 99 silver is really the internal price of Stone Castle. If it is lower, I can't even make back the shipping fee!"

"What are you still hesitating about? The quantity is limited. This batch of armor is just the ones in front of you!"

Hugo gave a passionate speech.

Whether the adventurers believe it or not, the quality of the light armor is here!

Everyone knows the goods and can see how good the protective performance is.

There are only a dozen sets in total, so it must be a situation where there are more wolves than meat.

What else is there to say?

Grab it!

I even want to increase the price to buy it!

"Give me one set! I'll pay you the full amount!"

"I want one set too, no, that's not right, I want two sets!"

"I can add 20 more silver coins! Sell me one set first!"

"..."

Hugo is still implementing his "family" persona, patting his small chest with full emotion and emphasizing:

"Please rest assured, first come first served, everyone is priced at 99 silver, this is a benefit for the family, what benefit is there if you bid to buy!"

"Don't worry if you don't buy it, I will find a way to contact the blacksmith Maren immediately after this batch of goods is sold out, and I will bring more benefits to the family here in the future!"

More than a dozen sets of light armor were snapped up.

The goblin Hugo's originally shriveled purse was instantly plump again.

After repeatedly promising to come again after the next batch of equipment, the crowd finally dispersed.

Counting the number of gold coins, Hugo smiled so hard that he could hardly close his mouth.

The so-called benefit for the family?

It is indeed a benefit. The weapons and armor forged by Maren now have the magic of the God of Casting, and there is no problem in quality.

The key lies in the price difference between raw materials and products!

In the past, most of the magic of the God of Casting was mastered by the dwarves. After the metal minerals that cost dozens of silver coins were made into armor, the dwarves offered a price of 5 gold coins or more.

It has increased tenfold!

Although the reasons for this pricing are very complicated.

There are no other resources near the Stone Castle, and the most abundant are minerals.

Food or other daily necessities almost all rely on buying from the Kingdom of Reyak.

When merchants from the Kingdom of Reyak sell food to the Stone Castle, the price they offer will be much higher.

To put it bluntly.

Although the dwarves have the magic of forging truly sophisticated and high-quality equipment, they will still starve to death if they have no food to eat.

Moreover, most of the Stone Castle dwarves are addicted to alcohol. They consume a lot of food every year to brew the dwarves' favorite "Rock Castle Liquor".

At this point, Stone Castle was strangled by the Kingdom of Reyak.

In order to make up for the purchase expenses of these necessities of life, the dwarves had to offer high prices for their products.

Both sides raised prices.

The final result was that the high prices fell on the consuming adventurers and mercenaries, and they had to pay the bill and bear the cost.

But when the believers of the Church of Knowledge can also produce equipment of the same excellent quality, it means that they have the opportunity to intervene in the market!

The only shortcoming of the Church of Knowledge at present is that there is not much metal mineral output, and the raw materials for making various equipment need to be purchased.

But with the name of Stone Castle Dwarves as a cover, claiming that their products are also the products of dwarf forgers, they are enough to fish in troubled waters in a short period of time.

As long as they find a way to solve the problem of lack of metal minerals before being discovered, the Church of Knowledge will have no flaws in this market!

The materials costing dozens of silver coins, after being processed by Maren, can be sold for nearly 1 gold coin in the end!

Such huge profits.

Not only Hugo can figure out this account.

The believers he hired to help carry it also figured it out!

This process is not difficult to replicate.

Find merchants in the Kingdom of Reyak to buy minerals, transport them to the Misty Valley, entrust Maren to make them, and then transport them back to the Kingdom of Reyak. Wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money by reselling them?

Who can't do this!

As long as they can find a way to get the first pot of gold to buy minerals, they can do this job!

As for where to make the first pot of gold.

The believers who went on this trip with Hugo used their brains and thought about it, and they also had an idea!
