Lloyd accepted the price of three gold coins for the mature slave and showed no other thoughts for the time being.

And nearly ten months after leaving home, Derek finally broke through a big limit.

von Derek

Occupation: Elite Knight Level 1 (0/100)

Experience pool: 0/100

After the tenth level of knight, you can upgrade to an elite knight.

A stronger body, more proficient martial arts, and even a more flexible brain.

With all-round strengthening, he felt no pressure from any soldier or attendant in the camp.

At this level, talent has almost reached its limit, and the effects of training are basically invisible.

You can only become stronger bit by bit by accumulating experience pools.

For blacksmiths like Little Toru, it is even more difficult to upgrade.

He had already reached the limit of his talent, and gradually became an eighth-level blacksmith by relying on the panel.

At this level, you can already start to create some fine iron.

The fine iron in this world is actually a general term.

Including steel is also a type of refined iron.

Blacksmiths generally have two routes for making fine iron. One is simply to refine the skills through thousands of times to create ten-forged, hundred-forged, and thousand-forged fine iron.

The other is to dope various metals and use various quenching, annealing, and smelting methods to create alloys.

Xiao Tru, an eighth-level military blacksmith, used the first method.

Suddenly he understood the method of making ten-forged fine iron and obtained better quality materials.

Because of Derek's rules, Little True did not hide his secrets and guided other blacksmiths to quickly master this technique.

Not only did he have more ten-forged fine iron materials, but Derek discovered that the experience of other blacksmiths had suddenly increased.

Obviously, advanced and superior technology can accelerate growth.

The same talent and inheritance also determine the future.

Of course, Tohru's epiphany is probably due to the special effects of the panel.

Higher quality materials not only allowed them to create better weapons, but also allowed them to start trying to build iron armor.

The first target is the half-body armor.

A piece of carefully crafted half-armor, worth as much as a war horse.

However, the current output is too low, and there are still technical flaws, which require manpower to make up for it.

But solve the problem first, and then consider the cost.

For Derek, at least it's cheaper than going out to buy it, and he doesn't have to be controlled by others.

When he put on his own half-body armor, he felt instantly safer.

Moreover, the physical strength of the elite knight made him feel that he could wear it for a whole day and even fight three or five more times.

I'm afraid only wearing heavy armor can make him feel the pressure now.

Just as Derek was developing steadily, the goat caravan entered the mountains again.

This time they hired the soldiers Derek had left behind in Watch City.

And brought Derek's customized goods.

Manager Vincent was very surprised when he saw Derek again.

"Derek Knight, why did you order so much grain and iron?"

Since Derek paid half of the deposit in advance, Manager Vincent certainly would not refuse the business.

On the contrary, the caravan brought more goods and its profits increased by at least 30%.

"Steward Vincent, my old friend, would you refuse any business?

Don't ask too much, these are not sensitive goods. "

Manager Vincent accepted Derek's statement.

In fact, grain and iron also require a certain threshold.

But there are people behind the goat caravan, so that's not a problem for them.

And after this cover-up, it would be difficult for outsiders to detect Derek's existence.

As for being exposed to the goat caravan, don't forget where this is.

What they do is a slightly dangerous business, but in the mountains... it is the mountain people who control the resources.

So Manager Vincent wisely kept his mouth shut. The two of them missed each other last time in Watch City, but now they met and wanted to have a good chat.

Without the competitive relationship, that barrier immediately disappeared.

Even if Derek's demand increases further, he will become a big customer of Goat Trading Company.

As for what Derek was going to do, screw him.

With at least 50% of the profits, the people behind Manager Vincent dared to hang their heads in the ropes of the gallows.

The two talked face to face, and while Derek was selling high-quality weapons and half-body armor from the south, he also ordered some horses, grain, iron, population and other resources.

Manager Vincent checked the weapons and felt that the quality was good and the price was much lower than what was on the market. Once resold, he would make a huge profit.

"Prepare for me twenty pieces of armor, a hundred iron swords, and three hundred spearheads."

Manager Vincent was very generous in placing the order. So many weapons and equipment could even equip a baron's guard.

Especially for half-body armor, the output is horribly low, and you won't be able to get it together at all in a short while.

However, the output will only increase, and this business is a profit of two to three hundred gold coins.

Derek agreed without hesitation: "I'll deliver the goods next time you come back, but can you eat so much?"

"Of course there is no problem. You have underestimated the capabilities of our firm."

Manager Vincent is quite confident. In fact, he has already received the news that the price of weapons and equipment will rise slowly in the future.

The two agreed on this transaction, and Manager Vincent also decided to increase the frequency of trade in the mountains.

The proportion of goods demanded by the mountain people has been greatly reduced, and the proportion of Derek's orders has increased.

He even considered taking a special trip to the mountains to save time.

So, it is the market that constrains the caravan. Manager Vincent wishes he could come once a day.

As soon as Manager Vincent left, the messenger of Knight Croix arrived.

The latter easily sold him ten war horses and a bunch of scattered weapons.

Another business worth several hundred gold coins.

After changing his strategy, Derek's business suddenly exploded.

Now, what constrains his business is production.

After completing these two orders, there will be no spare production capacity in the next three months.

"Population, population."

Derek was almost driven crazy by the population, and he had to consider owning a piece of land that could accommodate more people.

Unfortunately, there was no way.

There is a lot of land in this world, but not an inch is unowned.

Just as Derek was happy and worried, the New Year was coming.

After leaving home for a year, it was time to go back.

He even thought of competing with his eldest brother for the family property, but he rejected it himself.

The old guy would definitely not agree.

Moreover... he believed that he would achieve greater success than the Ferreira family sooner or later.

There was no need to sacrifice the rare family affection for this.

In comparison, family affection was a scarce resource.
