The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Therefore, hoarding food despite high prices is the first choice for some people who still have surplus food at home.

As soon as you enter the store, you can see all sorts of people dressed in different styles, crowding together at the grain sales window. They are holding the store's vouchers and shouting at the top of their lungs.

Ryan glanced at it, didn't linger, and walked upstairs.

The second floor mainly sells basic household goods, such as clothing, medical supplies, and everyday agricultural tools and cooking knives.

Animal hair, flint, and easily workable iron and copper ingots were the most sought-after items on the entire floor.

Here, you can hear the sounds of many merchants and customers haggling over prices.

Several loud voices were shouting at each other, and although they were just discussing whether to reduce the price of an iron ingot by one silver bean, it felt like they were about to duel.

After a quick look around, Ryan determined that there was nothing he wanted to buy there, and then continued upwards.

The third floor sells the most expensive items in the entire trading company: weapons and armor forged by imperial craftsmen.

Some workshops have even moved in here.

Along the way, you can hear the clanging of hammering iron in the workshops, as well as the hissing sound of quenching iron in cold water.

It does have a touch of everyday life.

The huge chimneys and heat dissipation devices are arranged in rows. Although it is freezing cold outside, the temperature on the third floor is so high that you will sweat profusely even if you are shirtless.

Most of the shoppers here are local hunters and guild adventurers.

Their main targets are weapons that cost tens or even hundreds of gold coins.

Here, almost no one bargains.

For these adventurers and hunters, good weapons and armor are a matter of life and death, and a day's harvest.

Therefore, they will not choose to bargain to save money in this regard.

you get what you pay for.

And this is also Ryan's destination.

As he passed several workshops along the way, no one stopped Ryan to sell his goods; they all had a cold, indifferent expression that said, "Buy it or leave it."

After searching for a while, Ryan finally stopped in front of a very old-looking workshop in a corner.

Inside the counter was a girl wearing a heavy heat-resistant suit, a leather hat, and her face covered in black oil stains.

Beside her was a huge iron hammer, tall enough for two people to stand on.

When Ryan arrived, she was resting with her eyes closed, leaning against the iron handle of the hammer. Sensing someone's presence, she slightly opened her eyes, glanced at Ryan, and then closed them again to rest.

Like the other workshop owners, he had a cold expression.

"A fine steel sword, three hundred gold coins, no bargaining."

"Blue Edge Dagger, 180 gold coins, can be sharpened once for free after the blade is dulled."

"This is a newly crafted Blazing Hunter's Axe with a health bar and fire attribute modules. It can chop and smash. Only sturdy armor forged from Orichalcos can withstand the attack of this hunter's axe. Seven hundred gold coins, plus two extra full-body armor maintenance services."

The girl took the small hammer from her waist and tapped it against the shield above her head.

"This is a shield forged from Orichalcos, with an earth-attribute modifier, capable of withstanding most flying arrows and blunt force impacts. You might consider this if you're hunting monsters or large beasts."

After saying that, he put the small hammer back to his waist, crossed his arms, and tilted his head to the side.

Looks like she's about to fall asleep again.

Ryan glanced at the weapons and armor displayed outside the workshop, then sighed.

Hearing the sigh, the girl pursed her lips.

"If you don't want it, leave quickly."

"I still want to sleep."

The girl's tone was very cold.

It seems that disturbing her sleep is more infuriating than just looking without buying.

However, Ryan wasn't angry. He materialized the Eclipse Spear from the bracelet and then slammed it heavily in front of the girl.

"Can you forge such a weapon?"

"If possible, I'm willing to pay ten thousand gold coins for a weapon. There's no upper limit to the price, depending on its quality."

After hearing this, the girl opened one eye, glanced at Ryan sideways, and stretched out her left hand.

"What evidence do you have that you can produce ten thousand gold coins?"

Ryan smiled and pulled out a dark gold card from his pocket, with a faint glow resembling a magic circuit flowing across it.

This is a Dark Gold Ticket from the Grundo Chamber of Commerce.

Then, it flashed past the girl.

The Grudal Merchant Guild's cards come in many colors. Dark gold usually signifies that the holder's assets exceed five million gold coins, placing them among the highest-ranking clients of the Grudal Merchant Guild.

In daily life and transactions, carrying large amounts of gold coins can be risky and inconvenient, especially when dealing with huge sums of money.

Thus, with the combined efforts of countless magicians, these specially encrypted tickets were created to store and record the gold coins possessed by users. In large transactions, as long as the Grudal Merchant Guild acts as an intermediary, both parties can use these tickets to complete the inflow and outflow of funds, thereby simplifying the transaction process.

As the Grundfos Chamber of Commerce is the largest business guild in the four continental countries, its industries are spread throughout the entire continent.

Therefore, the tickets issued by the Grudal Chamber of Commerce naturally became the first thing merchants considered when making transactions.

Convenient, safe, and easy to carry.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the dark gold ticket, and she flipped over to stand in front of the workshop.

Their expressions also became more lively.

Indeed, money is a good thing.

The girl wiped the oil off her face, picked up the Lunar Eclipse Spear, examined it for a moment, and then her expression suddenly changed.

Her eyes were wide open, and her little mouth was slightly agape.

The girl's gaze changed as she cautiously observed Ryan.

"Where did you get this weapon from?"

"What, do you know the owner of this spear?"

The girl stared at Ryan for a long time, then put down her spear and went into the workshop.

After a while, the girl came out again, carrying a long, thin package.

"This was requested to be repaired by a customer."

"According to him, the user of this weapon recently died in battle against a monster. To commemorate his fallen friend, he hoped I could repair this weapon."

After saying that, the girl opened the cloth bag.

The eclipse spear, broken in two, lay quietly inside.

Ryan's eyes widened.

It's worth noting that his magical tool is actually the bracelet on his wrist.

The bracelet's ability is to scan magical tools, record their data, and then materialize them whenever needed.

However, the trade-off is that its power and effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

In other words, Ryan's embodied Eclipse Spear has a prototype.

If there is a prototype, then there must be an original owner.

However, Ryan did not know the owner of the original Lunar Eclipse Spear, and his discovery of the Lunar Eclipse Spear was purely accidental.

Even so, Ryan was still somewhat moved after hearing the news.

After putting down the broken spear, the girl picked up the complete Eclipse Spear that Ryan had materialized.

“I’m just a craftsman, and I’m not interested in other people’s privacy. I only took the job because they paid me three thousand gold coins.”

"However, the repair work is more troublesome than I imagined. This thing contains modules of three attributes: dark, water, and several wind attributes are also installed in the grip. Moreover, the way the three attributes interact is quite interesting, a way I have never seen before."

"Generally speaking, when multiple attribute modules are placed on the same weapon, conflicts are inevitable, which will affect the weapon's performance. This explains why most weapons on the market only have one attribute module. But this weapon has three attribute modules. What's even more amazing is that these three attribute modules not only do not conflict with each other, but complement each other and greatly enhance the weapon's combat capabilities."

"The craftsman who made this weapon must have been a formidable fellow."

"only......"

At this point, the girl looked up at Ryan.

"I thought there was only one such weapon. I never expected you to bring an exact replica."

"Does this mean that this thing can be mass-produced?"

The girl voiced her doubts.

Generally speaking, magical tools with multiple attribute modules are unique and irreplaceable.

After all, the production cost is extremely high, and there are countless unpredictable factors involved.

Forging just one is already quite impressive; to create a perfect 1:1 replica is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than forging a new weapon.

The Lunar Eclipse Spear is the most difficult of them all, being a weapon with three different attribute modules.

If a weapon forged using such a complex process is still a mass-produced model, then it's more than just powerful...

They're simply divine.

The only one with such skill could probably be the legendary craftsman Fernandez, who was revered as a god among craftsmen.

Faced with the girl's question, Ryan didn't want to offer any further explanation.

"Didn't you just say that you don't like to pry into secrets?"

"I think you should consider what I just said more than whether this weapon is a mass-produced model."

"With your skills, can you forge a weapon that is almost identical to this spear?"

Ideally, there should be three attribute modules.

The girl weighed the Eclipse Spear in her hand, and after a long while, shook her head.

"Unfortunately, with my current skill level, I am not yet able to forge such a weapon."

"But my father should be able to."
