Don't call me evil god

Chapter 187: Tearful Sale

There are less than 100 people in Misty Valley.

Eliminate those who don't plan to be professionals, don't know how to fight monsters, and don't need weapons or armor at all;
Then remove those who take the mage and priest route;
In reality, there are only about a dozen people left who can digest the equipment created by Maren.

After Hugo has used the metal mineral raw materials he purchased to make equipment that meets the needs of the believers of the Church of Knowledge, he can also use the remaining materials to create a lot of light armor.

Maren had not originally intended to use up all the raw materials. His previous shop in Ceylon City even almost only accepted custom orders by appointment.

His reason at that time was very simple:
“Off-the-shelf standard products cannot meet customer needs!”

"The equipment in our store is all made by famous dwarven forgers. In order to meet the needs of customers as much as possible, your request will be sent to Stone Castle and made by Master Maren himself."

Of course, the actual reason is that he wants to control costs.

If the products he made cannot be sold, he will suffer a huge loss if they are recast.

Recasting is a very troublesome thing. On the one hand, it wastes time and fuel. On the other hand, during the forging process, various metal minerals are mixed together to forge the finished product. The same ratio of raw materials is suitable for making armor, but may not be suitable for making weapons.

This time, Hugo firmly told Maren to go ahead and create the cake and use up all the raw materials.

As a result, there were more than a dozen sets of iron light armor in the store.

Light armor comes in various shapes, but generally they simply protect important parts such as the chest, hands, and waist, and can provide a certain degree of defense.

Of course, as for those parts that are not protected and exposed.

If you get hit in combat, you're on your own.

Hugo accepted this batch of light armor newly made by Maren with satisfaction.

What Hugo lacks now is not points, but gold coins. After all, most of the money he earned was used to buy metal minerals.

He called over a few refugees he had recruited previously and promised to give them a certain amount of knowledge points as a reward, and these new believers happily helped Hugo carry the things.

……

Following the familiar route, they sneaked through [Past Glory] again and returned to the Kingdom of Reyak.

This time Hugo did not go to Ceylon City, but took his men around and went directly to Ceylon's No. 3 Defense Line!
Hugo found a place in the purchasing market behind the defense line and directed the new believers who helped him to take out the light armor they brought from the packages and put them on their own "stalls".

When it was evening, when the adventurers and mercenaries dragged their spoils to the purchase market, Hugo seized the opportunity and shouted loudly:

"High quality light armor crafted by dwarven forgers!"

"Excellent protection!"

“Add a layer of thoughtful protection to your adventures and battles!”

"Look! Look!"

"Look everyone, this is the quality of a genuine dwarf product!"

Hugo's shouting naturally attracted the attention of many adventurers.

Of course, this attention...is not the positive kind.

The quality of weapons and armor produced by the dwarves is well-known on the continent, and they are also famous for their high prices.

Not only does it have to be measured in gold coins, but the output is also very limited.

Some blacksmith shops even treat the dwarf master's masterpiece as their treasure, placing it in the most conspicuous place in the shop and maintaining it regularly.

In short, the dwarves' products are never hard to sell, and are often of very high quality. Normally, they would not be sold in a place like the Ceylon Line 3, let alone a random street stall.

The small market here in Ceylon Line 3 is mostly populated by merchants who purchase monster materials.

If it really is a dwarven product, how could it have "fallen" to this place and been sold on a stall?

What's more, the fellow setting up the stall is a goblin who is notoriously unreliable and good at taking advantage of loopholes on the mainland!
"Is it fake?" "It's hard to say whether it's made of metal or not. Maybe it's just painted on the outside."

"Maybe there's a scheme where you can get three times the compensation for a fake product, but the compensation is also fake. I was fooled last time!"

"..."

Hugo was not surprised by people's reactions and discussions. He looked at the adventurers with his big eyes and picked out a suitable "lucky guy".

The divine art of [Revealing the Secrets of All Things] can tell that the dagger on the opponent's waist is not rated high, and is probably at the level of an ordinary human blacksmith.

"Your Excellency! This Excellency! Yes, it's you!"

Hugo waved at the other party.

"You will know if the things I sell are of the quality of a true dwarven forger once you try them!"

"Use your weapon and attack with any light armor!"

"Don't worry, don't worry! There are so many people watching, this is not a scam, nor is it a trick!"

Hugo is very confident.

The confidence comes from knowing Mullen well.

This guy does have some skills, otherwise he wouldn't dare to cheat people under the name of "Dwarf Blacksmith".

What's more, now that he has offered his faith to the God of Knowledge and become a believer, he has really used his knowledge points to exchange and learn the magic of the God of Forging.

With the blessing of divine magic, the product quality is actually comparable to that of real dwarves.

With weapons of the level of ordinary human blacksmiths, it would be difficult to break these light armors, let alone leave obvious marks on them!
The adventurer who was called by Hugo walked forward in disbelief: "You want me to fight as I please?"

"It's okay even if it's broken?"

Hugo took the responsibility and said, "If it's broken, I'll just give it away for free!"

The adventurer confirmed again: "There are so many people around here, everyone heard it, don't cheat!"

Hugo's hawking, especially his claim that these light armors were made by dwarf blacksmiths, did attract quite a few adventurers and mercenaries to stop and watch.

It doesn't cost any money to take a look, and there's nothing fun in them resting at the border line at night, so they might as well stay here and take a look.

"Please!" Hugo made way.

The adventurer drew the dagger from his waist and slashed at the shiny iron armor with all his might!

"Zheng!!!"

The metals suddenly made a hard and sharp sound when they collided, which caused the adventurer's knuckles to hurt slightly. He really used all his strength.

Look at the light armor again.

There was almost no visible change at the location that was attacked, let alone any obvious cracks, not even a faint mark could be found!

"hiss……"

The adventurer gasped in surprise.

Although the quality of his weapon was not very good and he did not use rage in this attack, if he had worn shoddy armor, there would definitely be obvious damage.

The light armor is intact. There is only one possibility: it is really the quality of armor produced by a dwarf blacksmith!
Hugo took advantage of the surprise of the surrounding adventurers and mercenaries to drop a bombshell:
"This armor has such excellent protective performance. Today I'm giving you a chance to grab a bargain. I'm selling it at a big discount with tears in my eyes!"
