Chapter 31: Material Creation
In the crisp autumn weather of Pelican Town, the aroma of rice naturally spreads in the air.
Everyone from Mermaid Song came to the central square of the town and visited more than a dozen stalls of various kinds.
Coco was still a child after all, while Brad looked excited but didn't dare to move. Ai Luo took the two members around for the sake of being tired during this time.
When they were almost done shopping, he led the two of them towards their destination.
"Hey, Boss Budian, how is business?"
Ai Luo carried the sack and finally stopped in front of the tailor shop owner's shop.
Even in this autumn, which is full of the aroma of food, Boss Budian's thin figure still shows no sign of gaining weight. He had just sent away a customer and sold two pieces of clothes. When he turned around, he saw Ai Luo, and he naturally smiled.
Said: "Business is not bad. I see your guild is closed? Nothing happened?"
Ailuo laughed loudly: "Let's take a short break for two days and gather together to see if there is anything good."
Budian pointed at the various clothes on his stall and said with a smile: "Do you have any clothes you like? Buy two more, and then wear these new clothes for this year's Holy Night Festival? These are my favorite works.
!”
After a brief glance, well... I can only say that the clothing design in this kind of border town is completely incomparable with that in the capital. Of course, Ai Luo is not here to buy clothes.
He pushed the sack towards Boss Budian's stall and pointed at Brad's cracked slime leather armor: "Of course I'm here to take care of the boss's business. But I'm taking care of the other side.
The clothes I asked you to make last time were torn, can you help me repair them?"
When Brad heard this, he quickly took off his slime leather armor and handed it over respectfully.
The owner of the tailor shop took the leather armor and looked through it for a while, especially when he saw the crack that seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. He frowned and asked slightly worriedly: "Are the things you are dealing with so dangerous? This is
Is the planting... near our town?”
Ai Luo waved his hands quickly and showed the gentlest smile: "No, no, no, you are thinking too much. Those things are not that powerful, it's just that we are not too careful. Can they be repaired?"
"It's no problem to repair it. 5 iron coins, plus one day. How about it?"
"Deal! In addition, I have another commission here."
Ai Luo opened the sack and took out the muscle texture that was completely dry and could not even be seen as what it was -
"Can you, boss, help me sew these threads into a cloak?"
Boss Budian put down his leather armor, picked up the muscle texture and examined it carefully: "What kind of material is this? It looks quite strong."
"Can the small materials we collected from the mine be sewn into a cloak? It's a magic cloak for our magician to wear."
As he said that, Ai Luo pulled Coco over and patted her shoulders with both hands. The little necromancer seemed a little nervous when he was suddenly pulled in front of and behind the person. He couldn't help but tug on his tattered cloak, his head shaking.
He couldn't help but lower his head.
Having said this, Budian seemed a little at a loss. He frowned and tried in a half-joking tone: "President Ai Luo, you are testing me. I am an ordinary person.
Is the country blacksmith now going to become a magic equipment maker?"
Because you are cheap~~~! And it is close. Otherwise, if you send these equipment to some big cities to build magic equipment, God knows what a terrible price you will be charged.
Ai Luo immediately put a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I don't have such high requirements. I just ask you to sew a cloak suitable for our child. You can decide the style yourself, as long as it doesn't look too ugly."
, just wear something that is easy to move around.”
Budian looked at the worn-out robe that Coco was wearing, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, I'll take this job. I just haven't done the job of making a magic cloak, and I want to concentrate on it.
So give me seven days and the cost of the project... how about 3 copper coins."
It felt a little painful... but Ai Luo himself knew that the price was definitely super cheap. He did not continue to negotiate the price at that moment, and directly took out 3 copper coins and 5 iron coins and placed them in the palm of Budian's hand.
While he was taking out all the muscle textures from the sack and handing them over, the owner of the long stick at the next stall looked at the enthusiasm, raised his head and shouted: "Hey! President Ai Luo, take care of the pudding business?
Can you take care of my family’s business?”
Ai Luo immediately greeted him with a smile: "Of course! Everyone can forget it. How could we forget Mr. Long Stick, the first brother of our famous tool store in Pelican Town? I also want to come to see you later!"
"
Walking over, Ai Luo led Coco and Brad to the stall with long sticks. He didn't even try to get too close, he just took out the two index finger claws from the sack and handed them over respectfully.
"Boss, look at these two things. Can they be made into two weapons?"
Just like Budin, it was the first time for Changzhi, the owner of a tool shop, to see this kind of material. He touched his somewhat bald head, picked up his paw and weighed it, then looked at Ai Luo with a smile: "You guys
The Adventurer's Guild can really get all kinds of weird materials."
Ai Luo smiled: "Doesn't this show that your craftsmanship is superb and you can handle any material with ease~~"
The long stick observed the two claws repeatedly, and finally nodded and said: "It looks like it can be made into two daggers, or at the worst it can be two daggers. Isn't it as hard as some iron tools? But this thing..."
He looked at Brad's huge body and said, "A big guy like you is holding two such small weapons. They really don't match each other. Or should you, President, use them yourself?"
Ai Luo laughed and said: "Okay! Then let's make two daggers! In addition."
He handed the entire sack to the long stick and opened it to see that there were densely packed teeth inside.
Looking at the confused expression on Long Stick's face, Ai Luo said directly: "The wooden shield before can no longer be used, so I want a harder iron shield here. In addition, can these teeth be removed?
Inlaid on the iron shield of the future?"
"Fang shield?!"
The boss of the long stick took a breath of air. He looked around, and finally suddenly leaned his head and whispered in Ai Luo's ear: "Hey, tell me honestly, are you going to join the war? I heard that the front line is now
The war is getting more and more tense. Could it be that you are not adventurers, but the army? Is it true that it will not affect our town? We will not be dragged into the army, right?!"
Ai Luo shook his head: "Don't worry, boss, you are responsible for manufacturing and I will be responsible for paying. You don't have to worry about safety issues at all. How about it? How much does it cost?"
"Here... well, two daggers and an iron shield. I'll charge you... one silver coin."
"Isn't the price a bit expensive? You see, the owner of Budian next door sewed a cloak for me by hand for only one copper coin. You can pay ten times the price! It's quite impressive."
The long stick looked in the direction of Budian, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then... five copper coins, it can't be lower. Weapons are different from cloaks. I have to help you grind and quench them. The process is very complicated.
too much."
"make a deal!"
Ai Luo paid without hesitation, but his face looked like he had been ripped off.
After taking care of business, Arrow threw the empty sack to Brad and stretched for a long time.
After walking around the market and wandering around for a while, Ai Luo decided to have a big hemorrhage. He took the two of them to a food stall and sat down. He must have invited them to have lunch.
"Come on, order whatever you want to eat, you're welcome, as long as it's on the sign. You've worked hard this time."
After all, I don't have to pay the wages of these two people, so I should be more generous in terms of food.
When Ai Luo was looking at the menu, Brad couldn't help but said: "President, I'm really... I'm sorry. I'm not strong enough, so I still need you to help me spend money to buy equipment. During this time
I also learned a lot about guilds, and adventurers should be able to handle things like equipment themselves..."
With Brad at the beginning, Coco finally plucked up the courage: "I'm sorry... Brother President, everything is because I am too weak..."
Ai Luo ordered himself a plate of white fish braised noodles with black olive sauce, handed the menu to the two of them, and said with a smile: "I have said it before, the guild is generally like a family. I have no fighting ability.
When the guild develops and grows in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow you on adventures. So as a person without power or magic, the only way I can help you adventurers is in this aspect."
"If you really want to repay me, then just like I said, work hard to make yourself stronger and complete more tasks. Now that the news that gold will come out of the mine has been spread, there will be more
More missions like this are coming, so you two must be fully prepared. And I will also help you to be fully prepared."
Speaking of gold mines, Arrow still couldn't figure out why the hearts of living things were made of gold. Especially the hearts of corpse eaters?
According to the gold mine information he had obtained before, there was no mention of any monsters at all, and the person who originally leaked the information did not seem to have the ability to single out a corpse eater and learn the information about the heart.
Then, the purpose of the magician named Merlin was obviously to find out whether the mine really contained gold mines as rumored. Now he has got the answer.
So, who does this Merlin belong to? An official member of the empire? But if he is an official member of the Blue Bay Empire, why did he kill the first two adventurers who may also be official members?
In other words...the matter of gold mines has caused a dispute between the royal family and the nobles of the empire, and those nobles have begun to use their brains to think about these gold mines?
This is not impossible. Although the Blue Bay Empire is currently in a state of war with the outside world, it is not monolithic internally. If the situation of the gold mine is true, then no matter who occupies the gold mine, it will be equivalent to whoever is in the upper echelons of the empire.
Have a strong voice.
