A cart of steel ingots, sold for one gold coin?

Mousse knew that these steel ingots were of good quality, but it was impossible for them to be sold at the sky-high price of a gold coin.

Could it be that Wendlow had some strange method? Humans are always good at creating all kinds of extraordinary miracles and causing huge troubles.

In this case, the dark elf really wanted to see what kind of miracles humans could create, so he continued to follow him and slowly walked towards the east.

They had arrived, and a wide river blocked their way. This was the upper reaches of the Rick River.

The Reik River originates near the Blackfire Pass in the Grey Mountains, flows westward through Averland, Wiesenland and Reikland, and finally enters the sea at Marienburg.

At the same time, this river is also the natural dividing line between Wiesen County and Ivy County, and between Rick County and Talabek County.

As long as they crossed this river, it meant that the two of them had officially entered the land of Ivy from the ruins.

"Ruins? We are standing on the ruins? This is a bit unexpected. In my memory, humans are not a wasteful race, especially with such precious land resources."

Seeing that Mousse was puzzled, and while waiting for the river water to slow down, Windlow was willing to explain about this land.

After all, since he decided to make money by traveling for business, he spent his entire childhood learning business knowledge, geography knowledge, and life knowledge.

The place where the two were was called Sol Territory a long time ago, and it was also an electoral territory of the Empire.

Later it was destroyed by the orc warlords, and Lords Ivy and Lord Wissen joined forces to divide the land.

However, under the order of Emperor Louis Bernard Franz, the two lords had no choice but to give up the land of this lord.

As to whether the next emperor from Reikland wants to support a new elector or help Thorland restore its country, it is an unsolved mystery.

Originally, Wissen Territory had sent its own engineers to rebuild Sol Territory, but in the end, due to political compromise, the land was abandoned again.

Since the bloodline of the former Elector of Solland has completely died out, there is currently no suitable candidate to succeed to this position.

In various bars across the empire, the most common bet is to guess who will become the new Elector of Solland.

The current mainstream thinking is that Emperor Louis Bernd's son, Karl Franz, has ideas about such a piece of land, and he already has a suitable candidate.

As for who this candidate is, it has nothing to do with Windlow.

The political relations of the empire are intricate and complex. You just need to sort them out simply to ensure that you don't suffer losses when doing business. If you want to study it in depth, don't even think about losing brain cells, you may even lose your head.

As the Lord of Terror among the dark elves, Mousse could naturally understand the meaning of this.

The land where the two of them are now is just a piece of cake, which will have a crucial effect on the election of the new emperor.

For now, it has nothing to do with the two of them. They crossed the river and officially set foot on the land of Ivy.

Next to the river, you can see a very large city. This is the largest wine-brewing center in Iverland, Loningbrook, or simply called Brook City.

The wine here is the best in the entire southern empire.

When Windlo and Mousse entered the city, they immediately smelled the sweet scent of wine in the air.

But a strange thing happened: there was no business in front of any winery, with only an old man taking a nap at the door.

Following the sound of people, I found that all the wealthy families in the city were gathered in front of a few blacksmith shops, constantly raising their purses and shouting louder than the other.

"Do my barrels first! Complete my order first! I'll raise your price! You have to do mine first."

Surrounded by a group of winery owners, the blacksmith and his apprentice in the smithy were both happy and sad.

The pain was because there were so many orders that they didn't even have time to eat lunch and just took a big gulp of vegetable soup.

The reason for happiness is that there are so many orders, and each order has a big premium. At least if I complete all the orders well, I can definitely make a lot of money.

As for the reason, those winery owners who couldn't get in line and saw that they couldn't seek the blacksmith's services were cursing loudly.

"Are those dwarves crazy? Why are they cutting off trade with our Ivyland? Ivyland is all plains, with food, fruits, livestock and everything else. It just happens that there are no minerals or metals that only dwarves can get."

Originally, only the winery owners at the outermost circle who were not in line would curse at the sidelines, but now almost all the winery owners are cursing.

Inside the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith and his apprentice smiled apologetically and embarrassedly asked everyone to leave their shop as they were about to close.

As for the reason for closure, the winery owners outside naturally know it.

With the departure of the dwarves, this place no longer had any metal reserves. Without metal, it was impossible to make iron rings on the wine barrels, and there was no way to produce enough iron barrels.

But even if we recruit people to go to Wishen Territory to buy iron ore now, it will take at least a month to reach Ivy Territory, and we can't wait.

They could only watch the losses and lament their bad luck, after all, the dwarfs left so suddenly, so where could they get the metal?

At this moment, on the street outside the blacksmith shop, Windlow had already built a small fence and was shouting loudly.

"Selling top quality steel ingots, price negotiable, no waiting if out of date."

Wow, this has grasped everyone's pain point. Now is the time when metal is most scarce. If a merchant happens to pass by, he will definitely pay a higher price to buy it.

Even if you can't use it all yourself, you have to buy it all, so that you can have the greatest impact on the business of your competitors.

A group of people rushed from the blacksmith shop to Windlow's pile of goods, waiting for the young man to make an offer.

Mousse's lavender eyes had narrowed, and his right hand was placed on the sword.

According to the dark elves' understanding, the principle of "being in possession of a treasure is a crime" is very easy to understand. There are only two people on their side, while the number of others is too large. If a robbery occurs, they may not be able to defeat the opponent.

"What should we do now? There are only two of us. What if they come and rob us?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, turn the conflict between us and them into their own internal conflict."

Windlo reached out and took Mousse's right hand off the sword, then picked up a stone and slammed it hard on the wooden box.

The crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone was waiting to hear what the young merchant wanted to say.

"Now, this batch of metal is up for auction. The starting price is 10 silver coins in increments of 20 copper coins! Let's start!"
