Chapter 167 - The Kingdom’s Arms Dealer
“The leader of the Marathon Family, Wilhelm…”
“What Marathon…” Lin Li was a little confused at the beginning, but his speech stopped halfway as he nearly bit his tongue. “You meant Marathon Workshop?”
“That’s right…”
Lin Li stared at Azalez in a daze, and only after a while did he mutter, “What a big shot…”
That is really a big shot…
In the whole Felan Kingdom, there was one power that could be comparable to Mannes Family in terms of wealth—the Marathon Family.
The kingdom’s legendary arms dealer controlled 70 percent of the forging business. As long as it was related to forging, anything would carry the logo of Marathon’s smithy.
As the owner of an equipment shop, how would Buck be unaware of the value of the Eternal Adamantine? It was something no ordinary person could acquire—even if they were just fragments. The owner thanked Lin Li for it every time he saw him, causing Lin Li to feel a little embarrassed.
“Oh, yes, Boss Buck. Actually, I’m here to ask for a favor from you.” Lin Li looked around the equipment shop before continuing, “I have some skin of magical beasts. Can you help me dry it? I will be back after two days.”
“Of course,” Buck replied. The Eternal Adamantine given to him had helped him a lot, and he was a man with gratitude.
If not for the Eternal Adamantine, how would the sales of the armors be that good?
“There are 10 sheets. How much should I pay you?”
“Don’t mention it…” Buck rejected Lin Li’s offer as he took the parcel from him. “You had helped me a lot, and I don’t even have the chance to thank you! How would drying the skin of magical beasts trouble me? Mage Felic, if you are going to talk about money, you would be looking down on me…” “”
“…” Lin Li did not expect Buck to be so insistent. Since he did not want to accept the money, Lin Li could only thank him once more. “I’ll trouble you, then.”
“That’s nothing…”
Buck was not wrong to say that his business these few days was rather good. The moment Lin Li passed the parcel to him, customers entered the shop before Lin Li could turn around.
They were two youthful adventurers: a bandit and a warrior. The warrior had a double-edged sword strapped to his back. Lin Li could tell that it was a fire-element weapon. Among the adventurers in Alanna, people who could use magical weapons were considered well off.
As for the bandit, Lin Li was surprised to see his boots.
If Lin Li did not see wrongly, that pair of boots must have undergone magical enchantment,
It seemed that those two adventurers were close with each other.
The reality verified Lin Li’s prediction as well. When the two men set foot into the shop, the warrior asked, “Boss, I’ve heard that you sell armors made from the Eternal Adamantine?”
Seeing the customers, Buck could only smile at Lin Li apologetically, and leave the parcel on the counter first.
He said in a friendly tone, “Young man, you have a great taste. We not only sell armors made from the Eternal Adamantine, but also weapons produced by the Marathon smithy. Do you want to take a look at this rifle?”
“I don’t need weapons for the time being. Could you show the armors to me? If they’re as good as what they say outside, I might buy two sets of them.” From the request of the adventurer, it was clear that he was here for the Eternal Adamantine.
Lin Li was surprised that mere fragments of the Eternal Adamantine could give an equipment shop such a good business…
