Geralt the White Wolf
Chapter 27 Geralt the White Wolf (Please continue reading)
With some time to go before the Shining Auction, Li Wei found an open space and started setting up his stall.
The stall fee is already included in the drink included with the pub's entrance fee and doesn't need to be paid separately.
"This Shining Tavern must be incredibly wealthy, truly richer than a country," Li Wei thought enviously as he placed the knight's sword he intended to sell in front of him.
Compared to the Shining Tavern, the Emerald Merchant Guild seems insignificant. Li Wei estimated that the small tavern in Frozen City could earn hundreds of gold coins a day just from drinks alone, amounting to tens of thousands of gold coins a year. This is roughly the annual income of a high-ranking earldom.
Li Wei's father had wanted to invest in Shining Tavern, but even with his status as a Grand Knight, he couldn't find a way to do so, and Shining Tavern seemed to never accept new shareholders.
"Hey buddy, how much is this sword?" A man also wearing a white wolf mask stood in front of Li Wei's stall.
"Exquisite longsword, two gold coins each, no bargaining, custom orders and bulk purchases are accepted, custom orders require design drawings," Li Wei said in a low voice.
"It's a bit expensive," the man said, turning and leaving.
Li Wei wasn't in a hurry. He was quite confident in the knight's sword he had made; at 2 gold, it was definitely not expensive.
Those who can enter the Shining Tavern are basically prominent figures or knights in the area, and Li Wei believes that there are discerning individuals among them.
Not long after, a burly, powerful knight wearing an iron helmet stood before Li Wei, a heavy mace hanging from his waist. Judging from his imposing presence, he was clearly a formal knight. "Hey buddy, I heard you do custom-made weapons and armor."
Li Wei raised his head, and the expression on his face beneath the white wolf mask changed slightly.
"Another official knight, and with an even stronger aura than the official knight who sold me the ambergris. He's also wielding a meteor hammer, so he must be practicing a power-based breathing technique," Li Wei analyzed to himself.
"That's right. Customization requires design drawings, weapons, armor, and even some special firearms... As long as you have the design drawings, I can make it," Li Wei said confidently.
"It seems you are a remarkable blacksmith," the formal knight said in a calm tone.
"It's alright."
"I'll buy these two swords. In addition, I hope we can reach a long-term exclusive cooperation. The weapons and armor you forge can be sold to me first and cannot be sold to other lords. As for the price, I can buy them at 20% above the market price."
"That's what the knight said."
At the same time, he threw five gold coins on the stall, allowing Li Wei to successfully earn back the money he spent on drinks.
"No problem, the transaction will take place here at the Shining Tavern," Li Wei said.
If he were to trade outside, given his strength, he would easily be robbed by others.
But no one can cause trouble at the Shining Tavern.
Even the black market has its own rules.
"Yes, it's a pleasure doing business with you. May I ask your name?"
"Geralt the White Wolf." Li Wei touched his mask, then suddenly remembered a game from his past life and blurted it out.
"Alright, Mr. Geralt, then it will be on the last day of every three months at the Shining Tavern. I hope you will be there on time. I need a large quantity of weapons, armor, and horse tack. Here are the blueprints."
"By the way, I wonder if Lord White Wolf would be interested in joining a great organization with unlimited potential and a bright future..."
The knight suddenly asked a question, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Wei.
"No," Li Wei replied 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 watched the man's retreating figure with excitement in his heart.
"With that, the sales problem is solved. I know that the quality of my forging will definitely sell well. The [Definitely Top Quality] effect is no joke."
"That must be a knight from some territory. Judging from his appearance, he has quite the ambition. Buying so many weapons and armor and trying to recruit me, he must be plotting something. But what does this have to do with me?" Li Wei shook his head. Anyway, no one knew his identity, so even if that person was buying weapons and armor to start a rebellion, it wouldn't implicate him.
Meanwhile, in a mansion somewhere in Icewind City, the heavily armored knight who had just finished his deal with Li Wei removed his iron helmet, revealing his scarred face. He knelt down, and in front of him, a burly man with an exaggeratedly muscular physique, shirtless, was exhaling white breath.
"Vice President, I've found another excellent blacksmith and we've reached an agreement on a collaboration," the knight said, bowing his head.
"Not bad, Hog Rider. I'm very satisfied with your recent performance. By the Lord of the Wilds, He will surely see your loyalty and hard work." The burly man, who was called the vice president, finished dressing and stood up. He was a full two and a half meters tall, like a little giant. Even the Hog Rider looked small in front of him.
"I haven't been to the Brotherhood headquarters in a long time. How's our Brotherhood's equipment situation now?" the burly man asked as he donned his armor.
"Currently, our Brotherhood has a total of 2,500 sets of armor and weapons, and 1,000 mountain warhorses. Through years of hard work, dozens of blacksmiths are working every day to forge the equipment we need. We are also searching for new blacksmiths and acquiring weapons and equipment all over the country to speed up our development."
The boar rider said that he was a small foreman in charge of the production of weapons and armor, because in addition to being a formal knight, he was also a skilled blacksmith.
"Hmm, not bad, but it's far from enough. To overthrow these greedy and hateful nobles, we need at least tens of thousands of fully armed cavalry and hundreds of regular knights to charge into battle! We also need an absolute leader capable of confronting those noble grand knights. I am now only one step away from becoming a grand knight. Once I advance to grand knight, our Wilderness Brotherhood will have two grand knights, and our actions will no longer be so constrained," the vice president said.
"Congratulations, my lord!" The boar rider's expression was excited, and it seemed to come from the heart.
"By the way, the deal with the Lamp Spirit last time went very well. With the Lamp Spirit's help, I successfully broke through from a high-ranking knight to a peak knight, and my breathing technique also improved. I estimate that I will need the Lamp Spirit to help me advance to a great knight. I'll have to trouble you with this matter again." The vice president took out an antique black snuff bottle from his pocket.
