The merit system is something that the northern nobles gradually evolved in order to resolve internal conflicts. Knights kill enemies outside, and in exchange for merit, part of it will be naturally distributed to the nobles they belong to. Although the treasure warehouse is jointly established, every item in it is
It has an origin number. After exchanging merits, these merits will belong to the noble who provided the items.
After the nobles join forces to conquer a certain tribe or occupy a certain piece of land, they can increase the proportion of the loot they obtain by consuming meritorious deeds, so there are still many good treasures in the treasure warehouse.
After a few days of travel, Snowy City is already in sight.
"Strange...?" Mike looked around and frowned to himself.
Lando, who was walking beside him because he was an acquaintance, heard Mike muttering to himself and couldn't help but ask: "What's weird?"
"It's now, and there are still people harvesting in winter? Shouldn't the 'winter hunting' be over before it starts in previous years?" Mike said, pointing to the farmers who were still working in the fields outside the city.
Lando knew that this kind of winter harvest crop was unique to the north: "It's only a month late. Isn't it strange?"
"A little bit. Do you know how the time of 'winter hunting' is determined?" After asking, Lando said without waiting for an answer: "That time happens to be when farmers finish their winter harvest every year and the family is the richest, so it causes people who can't afford to eat.
The barbarians from the small tribe came to snatch the food." After saying that, Mike shrugged, as if he didn't think it was a big deal.
"I heard that because of the cold weather this year, many farmers have sick people in their homes who need to be taken care of, so the winter harvest is still unfinished." A knight next to him seemed to be doing well, and seeing how well they were discussing, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"Wind-chill?!" Hearing this word, Lando was startled and quickly asked: "Many people get wind-chill? Is it the kind that gets better easily but relapses again and again?"
Because the blacksmith friend is suffering from such symptoms now, he is a little concerned.
The knight who interrupted hesitated and said, "I don't know that clearly."
"Did you find anything?" Mike asked Lando.
"Not sure, cold..." Lando was speechless. His past life experience told him that after a cold or cold was cured, he would have antibodies within a week and would not relapse, but why did he say this?
He suddenly thought that he was not sure whether this world would be the same as his previous life, so he was embarrassed.
Lille's words helped him out: "Wind-cold is not a serious disease. There are a lot of white root grass near the town where I am stationed. Because of the epidemic of wind-cold during this period, I made a small profit."
White root grass is a relatively common herbal medicine in the north. Eating it raw or boiling it and drinking soup can effectively cure wind and cold, so people generally don't care much about wind and cold.
"Yes, I heard that the price of this kind of herbal medicine has increased now."
"There aren't many where I'm stationed. I still need to buy them from outside."
“In the past, I wouldn’t even pick it up if I saw it on the ground, but now it’s become a favorite.”
Seeing everyone starting to talk about other topics, Lando also breathed a sigh of relief.
…………
"This is the hotel where we will stay in the next few days. You go to the treasure warehouse to exchange the things you need. If you don't know the way, ask other people. That's it, let's disband." Mike took the group to the hotel and booked the room.
After explaining, he left alone.
The 'newcomer' is still confused, and the 'old man' has already 'reported'... No, he has already gone about his own business.
"Lando, you must be impatient to go to the treasure warehouse now, do you need us to show you the way?" Lear said enthusiastically.
Looking at Lille and Georges walking over, Lando said gratefully: "Sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, we are going there first anyway." Lille's smile became even brighter.
The three of them went straight to the treasure warehouse, which was a large warehouse with many guards stationed outside.
"Hey, Brad, it's you this time." Lil greeted.
This place is guarded by various lord guards in rotation, and now they are obviously acquaintances of Lille.
"Haha, Lille and Georges, it seems that you have gained a lot this time. I will treat you to a drink later." Brad said enthusiastically when he saw the two of them.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Knight Brad, and this is Knight Lando, a young genius from our territory." Lille introduced the two of them.
"Haha, Knight Lando, I have heard that your name is spread all over the North. It only took one year for a young genius who was only 13 years old to become a knight from an ordinary person." Brad laughed and looked at him.
Lando.
"..." Lando didn't know that he was so famous now: "Hello, Knight Brad."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink tonight. Now we have to pick out the baby first. It's first come, first served here." Leal interrupted Brad's greetings and boasted. If there is anything else, wait until the selection is over.
"Okay, let's get together tonight!"
Farewell to the enthusiastic Brad, the three of them entered the treasure warehouse, where there are dedicated service personnel.
"Okay, let's choose separately. If you don't understand anything, just ask the person around you. He will follow you throughout the process."
Watching the two people leaving with the two service staff, Lando set his sights on the remaining person.
"Hello sir, I am the inventory member of the treasure warehouse. When you select the treasures, I will be with you the whole time. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time."
"Let's talk as we walk, it's my first time here, tell me any taboos," Lando said.
"Okay sir, our treasure warehouse was established collectively by the lords of the North. It is mainly for all the knights and warriors of the North. Before the "Winter Hunt" every year, the lords will add a lot of new supplies to it.
This will inspire the adults who are fighting on the front lines."
"Every item here has a number. We will do an inventory every night. Please don't do anything to embarrass us. There is a space detection device at the door that can detect space items. If you have one on your body, please also
Please explain in advance to avoid misunderstanding..."
Looking at the counting officer who was eloquently talking, Lando curled his lips secretly, there really was no loopholes at all.
The warehouse is very large, with rows of shelves lined with magical weapons, armor, rare ores, processed herbs, finished potions...
'It seems like it will take a lot of time to visit them all...'
"I want to gain some knowledge, do you mind if I walk around a little bit more?" Lando said to the counter.
"It's your power."
Before taking a few steps, a huge attraction was passed to Lando's heart. This is the soul that can be extracted!
He calmly came to a huge skull, which alone was nearly two meters high.
"This is the skull of some ancient ferocious beast. It is our 'warehouse treasure'. Because the value is difficult to determine, its owner priced it very high, so although many knights were interested in it, none
