Lord of the Oasis

New buildings appear.

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

like two parallel lines.

This is Kant's pre-designed buildings and streets.

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

The base is made of stone, the main body is made of wood and hemp rope, and the windows are deliberately opened as open counters, all of which are made of thick wooden boards. Windows are supported from bottom to top on both sides to act as shading tool.

However, the counter is now empty.

And the entire grocery store is also empty, let alone merchants, not even selling goods.

The system gives a prompt.

[Ding...Through your efforts, the brand new building has been completed. 】

[Main quest: "The Value of Dinar" completed]

【Reward: General Store × 1 seat】

[Introduction: Now, the grocery store you own can exchange dinars. Of course, the premise is that you have to have items that have "value" in the eyes of the system in exchange for dinars. 】

Kant frowned.

Eyes swept across the empty store, while noting the introduction on the dialog box.

It has specially marked words.

Kant repeated slowly: "Valuable items?"

Simple words.

It is easy to understand.

But Kant just doesn't understand, what is a "value" item!

Big silver coin?

Precious gold and silver jewelry?

These things Kant negotiated with the system when he was in the Lion Castle, and could not be exchanged at all.

"System, I don't understand."

Kant frowned.

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

The system was slightly silent.

But after a few seconds, he responded, "Items with magical powers."

"Items of magical power?" Kant frowned even more.

This term is a bit complicated.

"Yes."

The system answered simply: "The effect is like [Deterrence of the enemy] and other strange items, all can be exchanged for dinars."

At this time, Kant was slightly silent.

Turning his head, the banner of "The Power of Deterring the Enemy" was still planted in front of the door of the Consultative Hall.

Although there was no wind, it still fluttered slightly.

The red bottom is embroidered with a golden lion, showing its teeth and claws, which has its own deterrent.

As if to choose someone to devour.

"A strange thing."

Kant spoke softly.

He has already thought about what the system wants to be worthy of the word "value".

After bowing his head and contemplating for a moment, Kant said slowly, "Magic item?"

"Yes." The system simply replied.

Kant smiled bitterly: "Sure enough."

In this world, the world of swords and magic, since there are gnolls, dwarves, elves, orcs and other races, there are also occupations such as mages and priests, and they also have some items with magical powers.

such as magic items.

Of course, this kind of magical power is also particularly precious.

Kant has learned a lot in the books of scholars, but he has really seen and touched it, but he has only seen it in the room of his cheap father, Cameron, Duke of the Lion.

That's a suit of armor.

The inside consists of two layers of the finest chain mail, and an outer layer of scale armor.

It was enchanted by the court mages of the Principality of Lions with the power of mysterious magic, which can reduce the weight, strengthen the defense, and permanent stainless spells. It is one of the most precious treasures of the Dukes of Lions in the past.

Even Kant, the second son of the Duke, is not qualified to touch.

It can be seen that such magic items,

extremely precious.

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

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

With a wry smile on his lips, Kant couldn't help but complain to the system.

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

Even if the families of these nobles have entered the decline, there are very few people who sell this kind of family background in history. After all, this kind of magic item can still revitalize the family, but once it is sold, the family is completely over.

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

Kant has no money to buy it!

"System, can you provide some reliable advice?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Kant smiled wryly.

"Have."

Unexpectedly, the system responded.

This made Kant stunned for a moment and asked, "What is that?"

The system did not answer.

But given, it is a system task.

[Ding... special task release]

【Special Mission: Explore 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. 】

Look at the introduction, the task is very simple.

is investigation.

But Kant's brows were tightly wrinkled: "Explore the mystery?"

He was good at thinking.

So it's easy to find the hidden meaning in it.

That's right.

This is indeed investigation.

But the meaning given in the system introduction is that if the source of the so-called mysterious power is not investigated clearly, then this task will be impossible to complete.

This is a special task.

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

The reward is now the light crossbow behind him.

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

more than difficult.

is very difficult!

Investigate the gnoll tribe deep in the desert.

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

Want to investigate?

Is courting death!

The gnolls that swarmed out could probably devour his entire sentry oasis. With his troops of less than 80 people, it would be a dead end to fight against 2,500 enemy troops!

Quantity has completely overtaken quality.

What's more, the quality of Kant's troops has not reached the level of one enemy ten.

"Special tasks have no completion date."

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

Kant nodded: "This is almost the same."

If it really conflicts with other tasks, or must be completed, then it is really powerless for Kant. Right now, he has no way to get the dinar.

Even with this approach, the near thirst cannot be quenched from far away!

The empty fund balance has shown that he will have no money to pay the troop wages next week.

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

[Ding... The caravan from Zhivadin has arrived. 】

Suddenly, the system came up with a boost.

Kant frowned slightly.

"Rivatin's... caravan?" He was a little stunned.

On the sand dunes on the north side not far away, a Swadian militiaman ran down quickly, waved to them at the same time, and said loudly: "There are unknown people approaching! Unknown people approaching!"

"come yet?"

Kant frowned, thinking about the so-called caravan.

However, he still turned his head and told the desert robbers who were waiting beside him, "Go and see!"

"clear."

The 16 desert robbers nodded their heads, got on their horses neatly, and galloped towards the sand dunes to the north.

After all, this is the Naron Desert, and they can't help but relax.

But soon, these desert robbers came back with three carriages, followed by a few riders and walking followers. The speed was not too slow, and they were talking and laughing about something.

Obviously, this is not the enemy.

They gradually approached.

On the roof of Dehrim, the militiamen in charge of defense also watched them vigilantly with hunting crossbows.

"Sir, they brought it here."

The desert robber came on horseback and respectfully reported to Kangdehui: "It's Zhivadin's caravan."

"Yeah." Kant nodded.

At the same time, I looked at the Riwadin caravan composed of three carriages, a caravan leader, six caravan guards, and 12 hired sentries. with weapons.

He knew that these were indeed in-game caravans.

The head of the caravan leader is very smooth.

Seeing how the desert robber treats Kant with respect, how could he not know that this is the righteous master?

He quickly gave a wink to the 6 caravan guards who were also riding behind him, jumped off their horses, bowed respectfully and said in unison: "Respected Lord Swadia, the caravan from Vikiyazhwadin, to you With the highest respect."

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