Chapter 20 About the Restrictions of the Rules
The iron forks left behind after killing the little devil were randomly thrown there in the wheat field outside.
They were all put together when cleaning the battlefield.
“That’s it.”
Nalot picked up an iron fork, which was stained with some dark red blood and exuded a strong sulfur smell.
But he didn't care at all.
On the contrary, he weighed the heavy weight of this iron fork and nodded with satisfaction: "Master Shen Mu, judging from the purchase price of iron products and iron ingots in the Kingdom of Swadia, this fork An iron fork can be exchanged for 20 dinars!”
Shen Mu was standing nearby.
Five Swadian light infantry are protecting the surroundings.
The two new members of the Lake Rat Gang who also came over were each holding a torch in their hands, lighting up the wheat field.
"Twenty dinars for an iron fork."
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the nearly 30 iron forks at his feet, made an estimate in his mind, and said with a little surprise: "Then all these The iron fork can be sold for about 600 dinars!”
“That’s right,”
Nalot’s face was even more excited. , said longingly: "If a war breaks out between the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Wikia, and the iron ore trade from the Kurao region is blocked, then the price of trade related to the Kingdom of Swadia and iron will rise sharply. Luck If it's good, it's possible that these can be sold for 1,000 dinars!"
"That's really good." Shen Mu nodded.
This is indeed possible.
After all, the Kingdom of Swadia in the background of the Cavalry and Cutting Group is basically the place of the four battles.
Coupled with that is the wise man who is quite famous in the whole cavalry and slashing series, King Haraus.
What a great success.
Buttons and ropes again.
They also like to seal off all occupied towns, castles, and villages to themselves.
Basically, the Kingdom of Swadia, the number one power with a prosperous economy, sufficient food production, and an invincible heavy cavalry force, was plunged into a situation where it was difficult to achieve peace after years of war.
Even in the original war group, among the five kingdoms, the kingdom of Swadia is often the first to be destroyed.
Nalot's business failed due to years of fighting, and he became a homeless person after bankruptcy.
"So, do you plan to take these iron forks back to Dehrim and sell them as ironware?" Shen Mu asked.
"Yes." Nalot expressed his thoughts.
Basically, it’s the one that makes the difference.
Besides, for the Kingdom of Swadia, iron tools and iron products themselves are in short supply.
In war years, as long as this kind of iron is melted, it can be turned into iron ingots, which can be crafted into weapons or armor again.
Iron itself is a strategic resource.
"Would you like to see other things?" Shen Mu thought for a moment, then took Nalot back to the main house of the stronghold.
But at this time, Shen Mu took out a pack of edible salt.
"Lord Shen Mu, what is this?" Nalot frowned slightly, looking at the contents of the translucent package with a confused look on his face.
"Salt." Shen Mu opened it, and the snow-white salt appeared inside, with distinct grains, just like the softest sand.
"Salt?" Nalot's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously reached out to take some. After putting it in his mouth, his expression changed: "This..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Mu saw his frown.
"This is... table salt?!" Nalot took a sip, and the expression on his face looked very strange: "Indeed, this is indeed table salt, and it also has a very strong salty taste, but... why does it feel like this? So weird?"
"Weird?" Shen Mu also frowned slightly: "What makes you feel weird?"
"Master Shen Mu, this kind of edible salt is indeed real. Yes, but I feel it’s a little different from the salt I usually eat.”
Nalot said hesitantly.
He seemed to be thinking about his choice of words: "I feel that this kind of table salt seems to... lack a soul."
This metaphor made Shen Mu frown even more.
"Lack of soul? You mean these salts lack of soul?" Shen Mu felt quite ridiculous.
When did table salt have a soul?
"Yes, Lord Shen Mu, maybe you don't believe what I say, but the feeling this salt brings to me is really that I am missing some of the most important souls." Nalot continued to hesitate. He said: "I don't quite understand why, but in my heart, it gives me this feeling."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and pointed to the cabbage, rice, and flour still on the shelves in the kitchen room next to him, including those cans, and his tone became more complex: "There are still some. These things give me the feeling of being soulless."
"Huh?" Shen Mu frowned even more, because he discovered that the ones Nalot pointed out were actually from Blue Star. Ingredients.
“What about these wheat?!” Shen Mu pointed to the bags of wheat piled together.
These are rewarded by the riding and slashing system.
"There's nothing wrong with these wheat..." Nalot said hesitantly, as if he noticed something was wrong.
But I really don’t understand why this is happening.
"The wheat is fine." Shen Mu repeated, paused thoughtfully, then raised his finger and pointed at the worn books and clothes piled up with the firewood beside the fireplace and asked: " What about these? "
"These... give me the same feeling of being soulless." Nalot's tone was much lower.
However, Shen Mu didn't say much.
Touched his chin.
Shen Mu has already come to the conclusion: "Is it because of the rules?"
Blue Star does not have its own rules.
After all, it is a technological world.
The world of riding and slashing, as well as the world of the undead, have their own special rules, and perhaps some of the rules are interoperable.
After all, the world of riding and slashing is nominally a quasi-historical rules world.
But when Shen Mu integrated countless DLC and MODs.
Fundamental changes have already occurred.
Infinite convergence to fantasy rules.
“So for this reason, the items of the two can be interoperable, but Blue Star’s own items cannot.”
Shen Mu thought so.
At the same time, Shen Mu also thought of something that happened now.
That is the cold weapon made by Blue Star itself. Its lethality against undead monsters is extremely limited, and it has even been weakened a lot.
Including Blue Star's own indigenous humans.
When facing even the lowest skeletons or zombies, if you do not rely on fire, you will face a life and death crisis.
This is also the reason why, in the three years since the advent of the Necromancer Rule, 70 to 80 percent of Blue Star's tens of billions of people have disappeared.
Even if these human beings still survive, as long as they have not obtained the mark of the spiritual world, they have not received the inheritance of the spiritual world.
Then you can only huddle around the fire and use the rising bonfire to avoid and resist the undead monsters.
"So, if you put it this way, Blue Star's local resources cannot bring me much help."
Shen Mu thought: "If I can exchange for the materials and supplies in the riding and cutting world, For dinar, do we need the output from the undead world?”
This gets a little tricky.
【Ding! Temporary task system detected event! 】
[Mission Release: Invasion of Demonic Troops. 】
[Mission introduction: Not far from your stronghold, there is another demon stronghold.

[Tip: Three days later at night, this army composed of a large number of low-level demons will launch an attack. 】
Just when Shen Mu was thinking, a dialog box suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Huh?" Shen Mu was stunned. He looked at the content in the dialog box and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Invasion of the demon army? The demon army in the previous scene in the spirit world will come to attack me in three days. ? ”
This really surprised Shen Mu.
"But if you are a demon, you can get a lot of iron tools, right?" Shen Mu also thought about something at this time.
After all, according to the memory of my predecessor, monsters like demons are much more likely to hold weapons than those undead monsters!
