Arms Trade

PS: "Giving more support to <Lord of the Abyss>!"

Another day has passed.

Soren didn't bother Goria, unsure of how her research was progressing.

This time, Goria's research involves analyzing the special metals of the Githyanki. This research has been ongoing for decades, and she obtained the relevant data through her authorization. Now, she's simply reanalyzing the data to grasp its properties. Whether she can achieve a breakthrough depends on whether she can find a new research direction. Therefore Goria is currently learning rather than making an academic breakthrough, and she's progressing quite rapidly.

Soren was also very curious about the Githyanki ' Memory Transforming Metal!

Because he felt that this thing was quite advanced.

Even in the Star Era, research on Memory Metal wasn't this supernatural, possessing the ability to automatically Polymorph. Therefore, Soren essentially provided full support for Goria's research progress, finding ways to buy her any expensive materials she wanted. Even if this stuff couldn't be used for Golem creation for the time being, being able to create a Polymorph weapon for Soren would still be quite remarkable!

The Githyanki ' weapons require Psionics to Polymorph.

Soren, unfortunately, lacks Psionics, so while he can use the Gith Silver Sword, he cannot Polymorph. Therefore, if Goria's research makes a breakthrough, perhaps it's possible to try to give him the ability to Polymorph through energy storage.

For a top-tier Rogue like Soren, weapon Polymorph can unleash extraordinary combat power!

Day three.

Even with her status as a member of the Goria Witches' Council, Soren didn't receive the approval message until the day after tomorrow. The Witches' Council has very strict control over large-scale grain and weapons trade in the North, let alone Supernatural Weapon like these; even ordinary military equipment is subject to strict controls. This is because the high-ranking Witch of the North are quite confident. If it were in other places, such as some kingdoms in the South, even large-scale Ironware Trade would probably be strictly controlled.

Just like the Salt and Iron Monopoly in the Central Plains period, many kingdoms were very worried that weapons would fall into the hands of foreign tribes.

For example, Lizardfolk, Orc, Gnoll, etc., are somewhat better off falling into the hands of rebels within the human race. However, once they fall into the hands of these naturally powerful Humanoid, their combat strength will be greatly enhanced by the large amount of weapons and equipment they receive.

"Your Mightiness."

A middle-aged man who looked like a clerk approached Soren, bowed slightly, and said, "The things you requested have been delivered. Here is the bill to be paid. The council is waiting for me to return and report."

Behind him Steel Golem, and several City Guard dressed as protectors.

The arms deal, worth nearly 100,000 Gold Daler's, even drew the attention of the Witches' Council, who dispatched Steel Golem guards. Despite the middle-aged man's scribe-like appearance, he was actually a third-tier Wizard. Through Goria's connections, Soren ultimately managed to purchase a batch of Tier 1 Transcendent Tier weapons from the Witches' Council, while also receiving Witches' Council implicit support. Since they were willing to sell him weapons, the Witches' Council had clearly accepted Soren's identity.

"No problem."

Soren gave his second mate a wink, then opened a chest. Inside were neatly arranged swords and other weapons. He had ordered only weapons; half of the pirates' fighting strength came from their weapons, and they didn't have a great need for armor. Besides, Soren also had a dragon, and a group of Wyvern near his camp. If he needed armor, he could easily make a batch of high-quality Leather Armor himself.

Pirates generally don't wear heavy metal armor. Their fighting style is simply not suited to heavy armor!

Clang.

Soren drew a Longsword and glanced at its attributes.

Item type: Longsword [+1] (Enchantment)

Item level: Tier 1 Supernatural Item.

Item Description: A weapon crafted from finely forged folded steel, infused with other special materials during forging using the Folded Steel Forging Technique of the North. It underwent a simple Alchemy enchantment upon completion. The blade bears basic Rune Inscription that deal additional damage upon hitting an enemy.

Equipment requirement: 8 or more points in Strength.

Equipment effect: Folded Forged Steel property, +2 Sharpness, +1 Penetration, +1 Energy Damage.

From an attribute perspective

These Tier 1 weapons are inferior to the +1 Scimitar that Soren forged himself, since these are mass-produced military-grade Supernatural Weapon. However, as Supernatural Weapon made in the North, they all share a distinct characteristic: they have all undergone a simple Enchantment Craft. Although it only increases energy damage by 1 point, this has a significant impact on combat, especially against certain enemies.

Clang!

Soren swung his sword at an ordinary forged short sword, which was instantly severed, while the original remained unscathed. Supernatural Weapon are, after all, Supernatural Weapon; the difference is stark when compared to ordinary weapons. He nodded to his men, and two immediately brought over a heavy box. Essentially, all of Soren's profits from this trip were contained within this box; even the spoils from killing the White Dragon were largely spent on these weapons.

It can be said that...

Once these weapons are shipped back and equipped, his pirates will possess the fighting power equivalent to a city's standing army.

Whether it's dealing with the natives or another Pirate King.

Even when attacking cities along the South Coast, Soren's Elite Pirate are capable of fighting Regular Army. Soren naturally cannot remain overseas indefinitely; when the time is right, he will eventually extend his reach back to the mainland.

February was drawing near.

Soren unexpectedly stayed five days longer than planned, waiting for Goria to complete her research on the Gith Silver Sword before they embarked on their return journey to the Overseas Islands. Before leaving, Soren glanced one last time at the North port city, wondering if it would still be as peaceful when he returned. Because of the powerful Northern Witch, the city hadn't been greatly affected. He had just received news that a kingdom in the south had fallen into war.

Duke Piderno.

A southern nobleman whose name Soren had never even heard of had just openly declared his discontent with the King and the tyrannical rule of other nobles three days earlier, and then led his loyal army in a rebellion.

This is the information that's publicly available.

From Goria, Soren also learned another part: the Witches' Council had discovered that Devil were active within its ranks.

This rebellious kingdom borders Soren's territory!
