Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 140: Chapter 139: In High Demand

A skill enchantment scroll, plus nine basic enchantment scrolls, was just enough to use up Lin You’s remaining magic powder.

Carrying these ten scrolls and a few Tier Seven plants, Lin You left the territory and headed straight for Yellow Sand City.

Unexpectedly.

A crowd of cultivators had already gathered outside the blacksmith shop at that time.

It seemed they were attracted by the glow from the blacksmith shop’s upgrades, standing afar pointing and whispering.

After all, the news about the dwarves in Yellow Sand City had long ceased to be a secret.

Some powerful cultivators had even rushed over from other places to investigate.

Lin You even spotted the figures of two Tier Seven cultivators among the crowd.

It seemed the allure of equipment was truly enormous for cultivators.

“Lord, you have arrived.”

Wei Gang, who was leading to maintain order, quickly noticed Lin You and immediately came forward with a few of his subordinates.

These few individuals following him had just joined Yellow Sand City recently, temporarily under his command as Tier Six cultivators.

Upon seeing Lin You appear, each stood straight, looking very nervous.

“How has the situation been in the city these past days?” Lin You casually asked.

“Everything’s fine,” Wei Gang replied, “although recently a lot of cultivators and merchants have been rushing in from other areas, which has greatly increased the pressure on maintaining order, so I led them to patrol the streets.”

“You’ve worked hard,” Lin You nodded towards him.

“It’s not hard, not hard at all; this is just what subordinates should do.” Wei Gang grinned broadly.

Then, he scratched his head, glanced around, and looked at Lin You, appearing a bit hesitant and somewhat awkward: “Well, Lord, I have something… I don’t know if I should ask.”

“What is it? Go on.” Lin You said calmly.

“It’s… well, you brought a lot of dwarves back, didn’t you? Subordinates heard dwarves excel at crafting gear, so… I was wondering if I could ask them to forge a shield for me; what do you think?”

Wei Gang stammered as he spoke, while cautiously watching Lin You, afraid of being reprimanded.

Seeing this, Lin You couldn’t help but find it amusing.

So, it was about that matter.

But considering Wei Gang’s hard work on maintaining order these days, he said, “Sure, that’s possible, but it will have to wait for some time until they’re settled.”

“Really!?” Wei Gang got excited immediately.

“Of course it’s true. In due time, I’ll also have them forge some low-tier weapon armor to distribute among the guards; their shabby equipment needs a change.”

In Lin You’s heart, he always remembered the guards’ worn-out equipment.

Previously, there were no conditions; standardized equipment couldn’t be mass-produced.

Now, it’s different; with dwarf artisans present, as long as there are enough ores, he could forge a lot of basic equipment, replacing all their gear.

Otherwise, always wearing that old equipment, what an embarrassment?

Thinking of this, Lin You glanced at the few cultivators behind Wei Gang.

“As for you guys too, since you’ve joined Yellow Sand City, I, Lin You, won’t mistreat you. When you have time, go register with Manager Xue, and I’ll provide you with a set of Tier Six equipment.”

“Yes! Thank you, Lord, for your guidance!”

The few cultivators immediately stood straight and responded excitedly.

Tier Six equipment isn’t something easily obtainable.

Even if available for purchase, it would practically drain their savings, leaving most reluctant to proceed.

Lin You distributing a set to each just upon their arrival naturally excited them, feeling lucky to have joined Yellow Sand City.

“Make way, move aside.”

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from afar, interrupting their conversation.

“What’s happening?”

Lin You raised his head, looking toward the direction of the commotion with curiosity.

Before Wei Gang and others could respond, Mageon appeared in the street, carrying his War God Hammer, accompanied by several tribesmen, heading towards them.

“Lin You, I’ve finally found you.”

“Why are you here? Weren’t you excavating rock caves with your tribesmen?” Lin You asked in surprise.

“The rock cave is mostly done, with only expansion left. Didn’t you say your blacksmith shop lacks artisans? I’ve brought a few tribesmen along to help. Am I bothering you?”

Mageon furrowed his brows, seeming upset by the crowd surrounding him.

Although annoyed, he hadn’t forgotten his promise to Lin You, bringing a total of five tribesmen along.

“Of course not, and you’ve come at the right time. My blacksmith shop upgraded and lacks manpower. By the way, what level are the blacksmiths?” Lin You asked curiously.

“Rest assured, every mature tribesman in our Hammer Tribe achieves at least Tier Six forging skills, ample for your needs.”

Mageon spoke with pride.

“That powerful?”

Now Lin You’re truly amazed.

He knew the Dwarf Race’s forging talent was strong but never expected it to be this remarkable.

Every mature dwarf possessing Tier Six forging skills—what a concept?

A total of three thousand dwarves, nearly half as Tier Six artisans!

And this was only the minimum of Tier Six!

Thinking of this.

The peak forging skills of Mageon in the Hammer Tribe would be exceedingly terrifying?

In shock, Lin You promptly asked the question lingering in his mind.

“You mean me?” Upon inquiry, Mageon readily responded without concealment, “The sacred artifacts of the Dwarf Race have the War God’s blessing. As long as you procure materials, I can forge anything you desire, regardless of the level.”

His words carried an unmistakable confidence.

Confidence in the Dwarf Race’s sacred artifacts, and confidence in his forging skills.

“That’s what you say; I’d definitely need to commission you for a set of equipment then.”

“Of course, any equipment of yours, I’ll personally forge, guaranteed to satisfy you.”

“Great, it’s settled then.”

Lin You personally witnessed Mageon’s forging capabilities.

Far more superior than his so-called standard equipment.

Once enough high-tier materials are gathered, he could forge a high-tier set of equipment for personal use, an added life-preserving measure.

In such good spirits, he didn’t linger on the street.

He led the dwarves inside the blacksmith shop, familiarizing them with the surroundings, arranging several territorial artisans to assist, and started forging equipment.

This news spread rapidly throughout the city, attracting countless merchants and cultivators to the blacksmith shop, instantly packing it to capacity.

This kept the shopkeeper, responsible for the front desk, incredibly busy, until Xue Changgui had to urgently dispatch more staff, slightly easing the situation.

“Look! There are enchantment scrolls for sale here!”

Soon, a cultivator browsing the shop discovered several scrolls at the counter, exclaiming with surprise.

Below the scrolls, details on their level and effect were marked, attracting numerous cultivators to gather and watch.

“It’s a Level Four sharpness enchantment! I’ve wanted this for ages!”

“There’s also Level Four Hold Firmly and Light Body, and it only costs 800 demon crystals!”

“Is this… a Gale Slash skill enchantment!?”

“Wow! 1600 demon crystals? That’s expensive!”

“Expensive? These things aren’t easily seen, Shopkeeper, get me one quickly!”
