Sik Loggins is a businessman in the current Bajas Empire. Although the transportation is not convenient - even the so-called roads are actually just mountains marked on the map where it is easier to walk - in each other's
Doing business between the Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom, whose connecting road has just been discovered a few years ago, is quite speculative, but if it succeeds, it will make a lot of money.
Of course, there are a lot of monsters in the Angelicia Mountains. For this reason, Sik Loggins' caravan hired an eight-person team of platinum-level adventurers as guards, plus the original guards and members of the caravan.
There were more than twenty people in the team.
Adventurers are a mercenary-like profession among humans who deal with monsters. They are divided into several levels: copper, iron, silver, platinum, mithril, orichalcum, and stainless steel. The level of difficulty that can be used to deal with monsters also increases step by step.
Here is a specific reference for strength, so that those who like levels can know the definition of the strength of human adventurers, because there are actually many influencing factors, the following is for reference only——
Bronze, Iron: Level 1-8, Difficulty 1-20
Silver: Level 9-1, Difficulty 21-5
Platinum level: level 14-16, difficulty 6-50
Mithril level: level 17-21, difficulty 51-60
Orichalcum level: level 22-28, difficulty 61-70
Fine steel level: level 29, difficulty 70-100
To deal with the monsters living around this mountain range, it should be safe enough to use two platinum-level teams, but why do we encounter dragons?
Yes, I met a dragon. Although it looked like a small dragon, its difficulty was even lower than that of some large lizards that live in the forest. It should be said that this dragon was so small that it looked like a large lizard.
It was precisely because he looked so much like a large lizard that Star misreported it to Crounpis.
However, the dragon has the ability to breathe with high power, and the ability to automatically comprehend magic and skills as it grows, so even a small dragon cannot easily solve it without hiring a mithril-level adventurer.
"The breath is coming again!"
"Raise your shield! Use defensive magic!"
"[Armor Reinforcement [rere ara]]!"
"[Magic shield [agi shield]]!"
Facing the dragon flying in the air with its mouth open and charging up power, the two magic casters standing behind cast defensive magic on the three T's in front.
There was no way to hide. Although the dragon was not aiming at the caravan, when it attacked, a guerrilla and three caravan guards were knocked down. The dragon seemed to be trying to finish the attack. Now the priest in the adventurer team
He can only heal on the spot. If he can predict this battle situation, then this dragon is quite smart.
But I really don’t want to admire the enemy.
A surviving guerrilla tried to distract the dragon by shooting arrows at it, but his arrows were unable to penetrate the enemy's armor - meaning the dragon's scales.
"It's so tough. I'll definitely use its skin to make several sets of armor after this battle is over!"
"Please do this! But let's survive first!"
The breath is coming! The vanguard either held up a shield or launched a defensive martial arts to block the breath. However, the blue breath still gave several people a lot of frostbite. After the priest confirmed that the people he just treated were not in danger, he turned to throw healing spells at the vanguard.
, but it’s only better than nothing.
"Eat me - [fire ball]!"
The fireball exploded on the dragon, but the damage was not ideal. The dragon's scales had good magic resistance, but it did cause some damage to the dragon.
The guerrillas took the opportunity to shoot an arrow into the dragon's eyes. However, the moment before the hit, the dragon closed his eyes as a reflex, and the arrow made a collision sound like metal friction on the dragon's eyelids.
"Damn it!" the guerrilla gritted his teeth.
"Look at me!" The captain threw his magic sword at Long Yi cruelly——
"Stab it!" Blood spurted out from the dragon's body!
Although it was a pity that it failed to inflict fatal injuries, this blow increased everyone's morale.
However, the current adventurers with long-range attack methods do not have enough firepower. If you protect the magic caster and try to release the magic, you should be able to win a few more times. However, the "road" here is surrounded by ridges on one side and deep on the other.
There is no place to move in the bottomed canyon, so many people have to be used as cannon fodder to attract the dragon's firepower.
Then throw the magic sword again——
How is it possible? You are so bad at magic swords. Only the captain has one. The other team members, except for magic casters and priests, use ordinary weapons. Only orichalcum-level and diamond-level ones have a chance to be in the team.
Popularize a full set of magic equipment.
The captain of the adventurer team retreated to Sik Loggins and shouted: "Mr. Loggins, stop hiding it! Lend us the goods!"
"Are you kidding me? Those are expensive commodities!"
"We will recycle it properly later!"
"What if it's damaged? The opponent is a dragon! Can't you fight harder? Isn't that why I hired you?"
"If we are killed, the result will be the same for you!"
"………………"
This time Sik Loggins brought a batch of goods to be sold to the dwarf country. Due to geographical problems, the agriculture of the dwarf country is relatively poor, so no matter what kind of food is sold in the dwarf country, it can be sold at a good price, and because the dwarfs are fond of
Wine and grains that can make wine are even more popular.
However, due to traffic congestion, there cannot be many such transactions. The trading product that Sik Loggins thought he found an excellent business opportunity was another kind of transaction——
Magic equipment, the technology used by dwarves to produce magic equipment is completely different from that of ordinary humans. Their process of producing magic equipment is very cumbersome, and dwarves with equipment enchanting qualifications have a higher qualification ratio than humans who can directly enchant equipment to create magic equipment.
Even lower.
Therefore, if the magic equipment produced with the empire's excellent technology is transported to the dwarves for sale, it may be able to squeeze out their original magic equipment market.
It's like the market economy crowding out the natural economy.
This kind of business is seasonal. If the dwarves are willing to accept the empire's enchanting technology, then this business will not be profitable. After all, the dwarves' forging technology is better than that of ordinary humans. If enchanting is also equivalent, then ordinary humans will have no advantage.
Word.
Therefore, take advantage of these few years to make a good investment.
However, looking at the captain now, he wants to use the magic sword as a disposable consumable. The one he just threw out also went through a parabola and fell down the mountain. I don't know if it can be recovered. How can Sik endure this?
"Phew!" At this time, a fireball flew from a distance and exploded on the dragon's back!
It was obviously a fireball, but the effect was completely different from the one cast by the magic caster of this team just now - the dragon was blown over on the spot, fell down with smoke, and fell into the valley.
"Eh? That's my weakest attack magic." Standing on the ridge, Star, who had just released his magic, looked at his hand that shot the fireball with a dazed look on his face.
