There was still some time before the Shining Auction, so Levi found an empty space and started setting up his stall.
There is no need to pay for the booth fee separately, as it has already been paid for in the drink included with the pub's entrance ticket.
"This Shining Tavern must be so wealthy, truly rich enough to rival a country." Levi placed the knight's sword that he was going to sell in front of himself, feeling envious.
Compared with the Shining Tavern, the Emerald Chamber of Commerce seemed to be nothing. Levi estimated that this small tavern in Frozen City could earn hundreds of gold coins a day just from the cost of drinks, and tens of thousands of gold coins a year. This was almost the annual income of a top-level earldom.
Levi's father wanted to buy shares in the Shining Tavern at the beginning, but even with his status as a great knight, he couldn't find a way to do so, and the Shining Tavern seemed to never accept new shareholders.
"Hey, man, how much is this sword?" A man who was also wearing a white wolf mask stood in front of Levi's stall.
"A fine long sword, two gold pieces each. No bargaining. Customization and bulk purchases are acceptable. Customization requires a design drawing." Levi said in a low voice.
"It's a bit expensive." The man said, and turned to leave.
Levi was not in a hurry either. He was still very confident in the knight sword he made. At 2 gold, it was definitely not expensive.
Those who can enter the Shining Tavern are basically local dignitaries or knights. Levi believes that there will be some who know what they are talking about.
Not long after, a sturdy, strong knight wearing an iron helmet stood in front of Levi. He had a heavy meteor hammer hanging from his waist. From his aura, it was obvious that he was an official knight. "Hey, man, I heard that you accept custom production of weapons and armor."
Levi raised his head, and the face under the White Wolf mask changed slightly.
"Another official knight, and his aura is even stronger than the official knight who sold me ambergris. He is using a meteor hammer and should be practicing power-type breathing methods." Levi analyzed in his heart.
"That's right. Customization requires providing blueprints, weapons, armor, and even some special munitions... As long as you have the blueprints, I can do it." Levi said confidently.
"It seems that Your Excellency is an incredible blacksmith." The official knight said in a calm tone.
"It's OK."
"I'll buy these two swords. In addition, I hope we can reach a long-term exclusive cooperation. The weapons and armor you forge will be sold to me first, and not to other lords. As for the price, I can buy them at a price 20% higher than the market price."
The knight said.
At the same time, he threw five gold coins on the stall, allowing Levi to successfully earn back the money for the drinks.
"No problem, the transaction location will be in this Shining Tavern." Levi said.
If he were to trade outside, with his strength, it would be easy for him to be robbed by others.
But in the Shining Tavern, no one can cause trouble here.
The black market also has its own rules.
"Sure, it's a pleasure to work with you. What's your name?"
"Geralt the White Wolf." Levi touched his mask and suddenly remembered a game from his previous life, and blurted out.
"Okay, Mr. Geralt, then on the last day of every three months, at the Glittering Tavern, I hope you can come on time. I need a large number of weapons, armor, and horse harnesses. Here are the design drawings."
"By the way, I wonder if Lord White Wolf is interested in joining a great organization with unlimited promise and a bright future..."
The knight suddenly asked, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Levi.
"No." Levi refused decisively.
The knight was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If you change your mind, you can tell me when we meet again."
Then, the knight left the Shining Tavern, and Levi looked at the man's back, feeling excited.
"In this way, the problem of sales has been solved. I know that the quality of my forging will definitely be good enough to sell. The special effect [Must be a top-quality product] is no joke."
"That person should be a knight from a certain territory. It seems that he is very ambitious. He purchased so many weapons and armors and wanted to recruit me. He must be planning something. But what does this have to do with me?" Levi shook his head. Anyway, no one knew his identity. Even if that person purchased weapons and armors to rebel, he would not be implicated.
In a mansion somewhere in Icewind City, the heavily armored knight who had made a deal with Levi took off his iron helmet, revealing his scarred face. He knelt on the ground. In front of him, a burly man with his upper body naked and exaggerated muscles was breathing out white air.
"Vice President, I have found another good blacksmith and have negotiated a cooperation with him." The knight said with his head down.
"Well, Boar Rider, I am very satisfied with your recent performance. The Lord of the Wilderness will surely see your loyalty and hard work." The sturdy man called the vice president put on his clothes. He stood up. He was two meters and five meters tall, like a little giant. Even the Boar Rider looked petite in front of him.
"I haven't been to the Brotherhood headquarters for a long time. How is the equipment of our Brotherhood now?" asked the burly man, putting on armor.
"At present, our brotherhood has a total of 2,500 sets of armor and weapons, and 1,000 mountain horses. After years of hard work, dozens of blacksmiths are working every day to create the equipment we need. We are also looking for new blacksmiths and acquiring weapons and equipment through various means across the country to speed up our improvement."
The Boar Rider said that he was a small leader in charge of the production of weapons and armor, because in addition to being an official knight, he was also a skilled blacksmith.
“Well, that’s good, but it’s far from enough. If we want to overthrow these greedy and hateful nobles, we need at least tens of thousands of fully armed cavalrymen and hundreds of official knights who can charge into battle! We also need an absolute leader who can fight against those noble knights. Now I am only one step away from becoming a grand knight. After I advance to the rank of grand knight, our Wilderness Brotherhood will have two powerful grand knights, and we won’t have to be so restrained in our actions.” said the vice president.
"Congratulations, sir!" The Boar Knight's expression was excited and seemed to be sincere.
"By the way, the last deal with the lamp spirit went very well. With the help of the lamp spirit, I successfully broke through from a high-level knight to the level of a peak knight, and my breathing method also improved. I estimate that I will need the help of the lamp spirit one more time before I can advance to a great knight. I'm sorry to trouble you again for this matter." The vice president took out an antique black snuff bottle from his arms.
