It's just a matter of a word.
After all, the necklace itself is not a high-level enchanted equipment, and it requires very little war merit. It is only listed at the 'Fortress Guard' level because of its collection and symbolic significance, and no adventurers would be interested in it.
In fact, if this operation were exposed and known by the soldiers and adventurers in the fortress, they might wonder why someone like Xia Nan, with such connections, ended up exchanging for this, thinking he wasted an opportunity to take advantage.
And what Xia Nan has to pay is a favor.
Hmm... strictly speaking, it could actually count as one and a half.
After all, Swent is willing to help Xia Nan not because of his outstanding potential to invest in advance, nor because he made any contribution to the fortress to be rewarded.
It is purely because of the relationship with Barbarian Fugang.
