Merchant familiar with commercial sales.

Profits generated from commerce are increased by five.

Description: Once the Fox people relied on their intelligence and cunning, traversing between various tribes, driving caravans, and selling peculiar yet useless trinkets.

Fong Hao continued to examine the attributes of several other fox maidens, discovering that only little white possessed the skill of a merchant.

Given the current scarcity of territory and the inability to assign the undead hero to human cities, it was decided to let the fox maidens manage the recently acquired store.

I have purchased a shop in Pearl City, the human settlement, and I will entrust its management to you.

Chapter 181.

The White Steel Firearm given the current circumstances.

Selecting individuals to manage the store proves to be a challenging endeavor.

The undead cannot be assigned to human cities and most of the maid servants lack basic numerousy skills.

While a meager sum of money is manageable, the complexities multiply significantly with larger amounts.

Fortuitously, Fong Hao possesses the advantage of having by who embodies the attributes of shrewd merchant and is rumored to have previously engaged in trade within the village.

For the time being, this should suffice for the store's management.

Master, what type of store is it? By who inquired softly, a restaurant? Upon hearing Fongo<unk>s response, by whose complexion pald, "Master, my culinary skills are rather mediocre.

I fear it may not meet your expectations.

There is no need for you to cook.

Your responsibility will be to manage the accounting.

Just ensure the records are meticulously maintained," Fong How reassured her.

"Oh, understood, master.

I shall endeavor to perform well.

" "Very well.

You may return to your tasks.

When I have some free time, I will take you to see the store.

Fongghao concluded.

Yes, master.

By who replied before exiting the room.

Fongghao then left the lord's manor and encountered duo gene approaching him.

Typically, Duo Jean the skeletal merchant seldom strayed from his post unless under exceptional circumstances.

Good afternoon, my lord.

Duo Jean greeted, adjusting his attire and offering a slight bow.

Good afternoon, Duo Jean.

My lord, I have received an order that requires your attention.

Duo Gene announced producing a trade order from within his garments and presenting it to Fong Hao.

Order requirement 5000 units of black powder.

Transaction reward 5 0000 warfire coins, a white steel firearm, dwarven influence 10 50,000 units of black powder.

Are the dwarves intending to blow up mountains or engage in warfare? They are capable of producing black powder themselves.

Why seek such a vast quantity externally? Something significant must be a foot among them.

The monetary reward is modest.

Yet the allure of obtaining a white steel firearm is considerable.

Very well.

Let us proceed to your location, Fongghao responded.

The two made their way to the Merchant Alliance building where Fonghao promptly inscribed his name on the order.

With the order accepted, Funghow returned to the warehouse and accessed the crafting page of the Lord's book.

Black powder, niter 2, sulfur 2 would one.

Each 100 units of black powder requires one wooden barrel.

There exists a substantial stock of both niter and sulfur in the warehouse.

Aside from the supplies available for sale, the remainder has accumulated from min ores accumulating unnoticed over time.

Crafting 500 units, 50 barrels.

confirmed the crafting process.

In a radiant flash, 50 barrels filled with black powder materialized before Fong Hao.

He quickly surveyed the surroundings of the warehouse.

It would be disastrous if any open flames were to ignite, risking the entire territory.

Indeed, there are no fire related activities within the territory.

The illumination areas are all lit by luminous stone lamps.

Cooking is confined to the residential area away from here.

He then handed the order to the waiting skeletal merchant.

He remarked that upon encountering the dwarves, they could directly place orders with them for any future needs.

However, upon reflection, he felt this statement needed refinement.

It would be more appropriate to express that they could provide consistently highquality items, though ideally the exchanged goods should be blueprints.

I understand, my lord.

Is there anything else you wish to convey? The skeletal merchant stood by, awaiting further instructions.

Fong Hao was eager to engage and trade with the dwarves.

Yet he possessed a limited number of the blueprints they required, which posed a significant obstacle.

Very well, I shall take my leave to deliver the goods now, my lord.

The skeletal merchant declared before vanishing with a barrel filled with gunpowder.

After bidding farewell to the skeletal merchant, Fongghao proceeded with his subsequent plans.

He instructed his maid to summon Blood Hunter.

Soon, Blood Hunter landed before Fong Hao, its massive wings creating a gust of wind.

My lord acknowledged.

Fong Hao presented the map from the Lord's book, indicating a mountain range.

I need to scout this area first.

This location was pointed out to him by the tavern owner's wife.

Yet, it remained unexplored and shrouded in mist.

While he found the love stories recounted by the tavern owner uninteresting, the prospect of discovering a tomb was undeniably alluring.

What do you mean, my lord? Blood Hunter inquired curiously.

Given the distance, utilizing divine presence would impose a significant burden on me.

At that time, you shall control the bone dragon to seek out a tomb or its entrance.

As dusk approached, Fonha did not intend to search for the tomb today, but rather wish to conduct a preliminary investigation.

The aerial perspective would allow him to survey the entire mountain range, making it far easier to spot any peculiar structures than if he were amidst the mountains.

It would also provide him with a psychological advantage.

Very well, my lord.

When shall we depart? Blood Hunter asked, "Now I shall first invoke divine presence.

" Fongo returned to his chamber, and outside, the eyes of a skeletal warrior ignited with ethereal blue flames.

Meanwhile, a bone dragon lowered itself before the lord's estate, awaiting Fong How's emergence.

Stepping onto the rib cage of the bone dragon, Fongghao mounted it, taking a seat at the rear with a powerful flap of its wings.

The bone dragon soared into the skies, directed towards the mountains.

If one were to rank all the mountable units within the domain by speed, the bone dragon would unquestionably take first place, followed by the giant lizard, with the skeletal wolf and skeletal horse occupying the third and fourth positions.

The ordinary skeletal infantry would follow thereafter.

The undead units did not venture into human settlements.

Instead, Fongghao utilized the giant lizard for such occasions.

When unencumbered by concerns, the bone dragon proved to be swifter and more stable.

As the bone dragon ascended through the clouds, the rushing air whistled past his ears.

Had I known, I would have refrained from washing my hair beforehand, a ride on the bone dragon might leave me with a disheveled head.

After approximately half an hour of flight, they neared the target mountain range.
