Boom!!

Before it got dark, there was a loud thunder outside, and then heavy rain fell directly from the sky.

Seeing the exaggerated rain, Edkin, Holgai and others were very happy that they had successfully hid in the abandoned old castle's side hall. Although it was dilapidated, it could at least keep out the rain.

Then, just like this, they didn't care about the business travelers opposite, and the people on the opposite side didn't care about them. They were separated by a rain curtain of nearly dozens of meters, making fires, repairing and eating in their respective sites, preparing to go out in the rain.

Stay up all night and set out on the road tomorrow after the rain stops.

And when the group of five people settled down and finished eating, drinking and repairing, Simon, the previously somewhat mysterious rookie warlock, finally had time to explain to Edkin, Holgay, Doric and the curious little Annie who had been urging them.

and explains what an arcane merchant is.

It turned out that, as they had seen before, the arcane merchants were a tall but very weak race that was not good at fighting, especially physical confrontation.

Although they can protect themselves when necessary, and are said to be able to use invisibility and dimensional gates, more often than not, they tend to use verbal negotiation or some mysterious means to get themselves out of danger instead of going.

fighting.

Like most merchants, they are a cunning and selfish race. If they have to go to a potentially dangerous area, such as most human cities, then that kind of arcane merchant will definitely hire a group of adventurers.

Or mercenaries as their followers and bodyguards when traveling, so that they can avoid most troubles.

What worries Simon the most is that the race of arcane merchants can also use various magic items without any restrictions, including swords, wands, magic scrolls, and some props that require specific professions and energy to be used.

There is no way to avoid using those items during battle, and those items are what they are prepared to trade with!

It is said that those arcane merchants have a special kind of telepathy among the same race, and when one of the arcane merchants is harmed, all the other arcane merchants will immediately know about it?

Although they almost never seek bloody revenge from enemies who harm or even kill their companions, and will only passively resist them, before sufficient compensation is given, it is almost inevitable that those murderers who attack the arcane merchants will

Fell into entanglements with other arcane merchants.

Therefore, over time, those who are informed and know the origins of the secret merchants will rarely choose such extreme means to snatch the other party's items, but will have to adopt fair transaction methods.

"Anyway!"

"No one knows where the arcane traders come from!"

"They come and go freely, and there are rumors and related records of sightings of them in every corner of the known world."

"But what is certain is that they never stay in the same place for too long. It is not easy for ordinary people to meet them!"

"These weird merchants, the magic items they sell are famous for their high quality and high prices, and they are willing to trade with anyone, as long as they can afford the high price?"

"but……"

"I heard that their main business is selling magic items, especially the steering wheels of magic ships. It is said that they are the core components needed for ultra-advanced magic creations and are necessary for some mages to look up and explore the stars.

.”

"Don't look at me. You don't think I've reached the level of exploring the stars, do you?"

"It would have been much better if it had been my ancestor Elminster Omar!"

Having said this, Simon paused and saw that the rain outside was still heavy, and the figures of the group of people opposite were a little blurry. Then he thought for a while before continuing:

"No one knows whether their wide variety of magic items are made by themselves or come from other unknown sources, but they are good things anyway!"

"They are cold, efficient, and most of the time arrogant and arrogant! So even under the best of circumstances, arguing with them is a shaky idea."

"besides!"

"They don't like to be threatened, insulted or blackmailed!"

"Any buyer who adopts the above method will have a hard time buying reliable magic items from them or other members of their tribe. Although they rarely get angry directly or take revenge directly, they use roundabout and cunning means to retaliate.

It’s enough to make people scared!”

At this point, seeing that everyone had basically understood the true identity of the slim and ugly blue horse-faced giant wearing a long robe, and then feeling that he had basically relayed what he had learned from the book, Simon stopped.

Come down.

"!!"

"So that's it!"

"That is to say..."

"Are they magical merchants who sell those magical items?"

Edkin and Holgai looked at each other, and then in a short sentence of less than twenty words, they summarized the whole story that Simon Rory had just said.

Long story.

"Yes!"

"And businessmen like them are not common. It can even be said to be very, very rare?"

Opening his mouth, Simon had to admit that the two men's summary was basically correct. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the main hall dozens of meters away and sighed with emotion.

"Anyway!"

"Except for the instructions in the book, this is the first time I have encountered it."

Although it was very rare, Simon felt that it had nothing to do with them.

Because they have no money, they definitely can't afford each other's things, so it's no use meeting each other. Apart from jealousy and regret, there's not much they can do.

"That……"

"What exactly are merchants like them selling?"

"What's there?"

Edkin's head got a little dizzy when he heard about such nonsense as a 'secret businessman'. Compared to those messy background identities, Edkin was obviously more concerned about the substantive things.

“Everything is there!”

"Weapons, armor, scrolls, staffs, forbidden magic books or other enchanted items, etc."

As he spoke, Simon looked with some disdain at the very ordinary long sword on Edkin's waist and the fine battle ax in Holgai's hand that was said to have been snatched from the executioner's hand.

"And it's definitely better than what you have. After all, they are all magic weapons!"

“The best kind!”

Simon couldn't say exactly how good it was, but he was very sure that the battle ax made of black iron by Gaelin Forhamore in Holgai's hand was definitely better than those magic weapons.

Not even suitable for carrying shoes!

"!!"

"Do you have a magic-breaking helmet?"

After hearing this, Edkin's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

If the other party has something to sell, then he doesn't have to go to the Serb paladin anymore. After all, he has some issues with the other party and hates those Serbs very much!

"Probably not, the 'Dharma Breaking Helmet' is unique!"

"but……"

"It's as rare as the 'Dharma Breaking Helmet', I'm sure he will have it!"

Simon is sure of this.

Because it has been said in books and some rumors that many legendary and famous magic items first came out of the hands of those arcane merchants. As for how they obtained those items, then

It's unknown for now.

Perhaps, in Simon's view, the origin of the items in the opponent's hands is as mysterious as the existence of their species?

"ha!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Let's go see it soon?"

Unexpectedly, there would be such an unexpected encounter on the way. Edkin stood up excitedly. Apparently he was persuaded by Simon, and was ready to take Simon and run over in the rain to see what the other party had that suited them.

thing.

"What's wrong?"

"Simon!"

"Please, don't you want to go see something?"

Seeing Simon break away from his pull and seeming not to want to go over, Edkin couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"But!"

"We have no money!"

Simon sighed and shook his head before adding:

"Don't tell me about the dozens of gold coins you cheated from Anne."

"Believe me, that little money is simply not enough!"
