Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

If you ask, what are the most urgently needed supplies after the outbreak of a demonic disaster? Everyone would say weapons.

The combat effectiveness of the militia is not very good. If they are not equipped with weapons, how can the safety of the noble lord be ensured? Don’t dare to lose the fiefdom that generations of people have worked so hard for! If you lose your land, your luxurious life will not be guaranteed.

In normal times, a baron only needs a dozen formal soldiers to guard the manor and castle. There is no problem in safety if he is escorted by knights when he goes out.

As for maintaining law and order in villages and towns, militiamen can do it, and they are free.

Whether they are regular soldiers or militiamen, their weapons and armor can last a long time if they are well maintained. In fact, some rust will not affect anything. Even if they are used occasionally, their opponents are just some beasts.

Every noble will have a blacksmith shop that specializes in making weapons and armor, and is also responsible for maintaining and repairing weapons. Basically, they are in the town next to the castle. This shop will also sell weapons to mercenaries, provided you provide the mercenary badge.

There are usually only a few blacksmiths in a blacksmith shop. After all, the demand for weapons is not large, and these people are usually enough.

The same is true for bow-making workshops that make bows and arrows, and leather-making workshops that make leather armors. They all have low manpower and low output due to demand.

Now that the demonic disaster suddenly breaks out, it is impossible for these blacksmiths, bowmakers, and leathermakers to make so many weapons and armors in a short period of time, even if they work day and night.

A spear is the cheapest weapon. It has an iron spear head and a wooden shaft. Even if you don't need a blacksmith who specializes in making weapons, blacksmiths in other villages who make agricultural tools can also make it.

But that's not the case with helmets and armors. If you ask a blacksmith who has never been exposed to such things to make them, it's not that they can't be made, but it will take some getting used to.

Bow making is even more of a high-tech job. Except for mages and priests, there is no standardization in this continent. Many craftsmen rely on experience. Even if the master teaches sincerely, it cannot be learned in a short time.

These are based on the premise that there are enough raw materials. If you want to make leather armor, you must have leather. This requires drying and other processing in the early stage, and it cannot be completed in a few days.

Now that they know that the devil is about to attack, all the nobles are frantically recruiting and training soldiers. Perhaps after clearing out the warehouse, we can find long spears and leather armor to arm one or two hundred people, but as long as there is a war, it will be consumed, and the craftsmen of the territory do not have the ability to make up for this gap in a short time.

Moreover, the nobles did not feel that these soldiers were enough to protect the security of their territories, so they continued to recruit them.

Everyone knows these difficulties, and there are only two ways to solve them. One is to let your own craftsmen seize the time to make them, and the other is to outsource the finished products.

So the question is, who is the largest supplier of iron products in Brittany? The Tulip Chamber of Commerce, belonging to the Earl of Stewart, of course.

Christine knew about the demonic disaster a month in advance, so she naturally made arrangements for the production of weapons and armor in advance.

The method she uses is also very simple, that is, blacksmiths from other villages and towns make rough blanks, and then send them to the blacksmith workshop in Longzhao Town once a week for use. This can greatly save production time.

At the same time, the expansion of the blacksmith workshop in Dominaria City began. Of course, it would take quite some time to see the effect.

But the most important thing is that she purchased a large amount of iron ore in advance, providing enough raw materials for the workshop. In fact, various True God churches and kingdoms are also secretly purchasing these strategic materials, which has increased the price of iron ore on the market, but fortunately, Christine does not need much.

Now, piles of weapons and armor are in the warehouse.

.

Dominaria City, Tulip Merchant Headquarters.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting or standing in the living room, and with the servants on the side, it seemed a bit crowded.

When Harland Coy, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, walked in, all these people, regardless of their status, stood up and saluted, and the main theme was enthusiasm.

They were all envoys sent by the nobles in Brittany County and the neighboring Loire County to purchase weapons. Even the Count of Angers sent people. After all, no one would dislike having too many weapons at this time.

"Gentlemen, I have reported your request to purchase weapons on behalf of your respective lords to the Earl."

Everyone present immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"The Earl said that resisting the demonic disaster is a common cause of justice for the whole continent. We are all nobles of the Kingdom of France and should help each other, so we agreed to sell weapons."

After everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and had smiles on their faces. This trip was not in vain.

"However, in this situation, there is a shortage of weapons everywhere, so the price is naturally higher. Can you gentlemen and the lords you represent understand this?"

"It's understandable, it's understandable." Everyone responded.

Now everyone is buying weapons. In addition to nobles, there is also a lot of demand for mercenary adventurers. They also want to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make achievements. In this case, the price is definitely high.

Harland Coy took out a piece of parchment and said: "Gentlemen, this is the list and price of the weapons for sale. Because everyone is a noble noble of the Kingdom of France, I can't decide who to sell more to, and who to sell less to. Gentlemen, please decide for yourself who to sell some to.”

For Harland, no matter who he sells to, he will offend others. There is no need to cause trouble for the earl. It is better to leave this hot potato to them to solve it themselves.

After reading the price of the weapons on the parchment, everyone put down their smiles and put on masks of pain. Is this more expensive? This is several times more expensive.

A standard long sword used to cost one gold coin, but now sells for ten gold coins. A standard piece of leather armor used to cost fifty silver coins, but now it costs five gold coins. An iron helmet used to cost ten silver coins, but now it costs one gold coin. The most outrageous thing is a set of half-length armor with an iron helmet, breastplate, arm armor and skirt. It used to cost ten gold coins, but now it costs one hundred gold coins. In comparison, the longbow that used to sell for three gold coins is nothing now that sells for thirty gold coins.

The envoy of Count Angers came over and asked with a troubled expression: "President Harland, isn't the price a bit expensive?"

Harland's eyes widened and he said, "Look, where are the weapons for sale now? These are all made by craftsmen working day and night. If you think they are expensive, I still think they are too expensive."

The messenger gritted his teeth and said, "I bought it."

He knew that Harland was right. He couldn't buy weapons with money at this time. Now is the time of urgent need, no matter how expensive it is, you have to accept it.

"Row."

"How is the quality of this weapon?"

"Our Tulip Merchant Guild, when have we ever sold your inferior products?"
