Chapter 399 Material Procurement
"Boss Long Stick! Good lunch!"
Opening the door, Ai Luo said hello.
The boss of the long stick who was busy inside stood up and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, Mermaid Song..."
He turned his eyes and was a little surprised when he saw Margaux. But what surprised the boss even more was the staff of light that Margaux was holding in her hand.
"This...this is...? Who is this?"
Seeing Chang Guan's surprise, Margo instinctively thought that the other party was because of her beauty, so she reflexively projected a seductive expression and winked at him.
But Ai Luo raised his hand, suppressed her wink with his palm before throwing it out, and said with a smile: "Ah, this is a new member of our guild, named Margaux.
A lover of the magic of light."
Margot's face was blurred by Ai Luo, and she was a little unhappy. She turned her head and glared at Ai Luo fiercely. But Ai Luo was busy talking to the stick now and did not receive this line of sight. But Coco was beside him hahaha
Laughed out loud.
"A person who loves the magic of light? So..."
Chang Guan looked at Margaux again, his face full of excitement and relief. He even wiped the corners of his eyes involuntarily and said excitedly: "Have you found the successor of the high priest? The Holy See of Light has sent a nun.
? That’s great…it’s really great…”
Margot and Coco were making faces at each other, but when she heard Changzhu's current excitement, she was a little surprised. She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Changzhu.
Ai Luo waved to Margaux and said with a smile: "The main reason I came here this time is to engrave a nameplate for our new member. In addition, I also want to buy some equipment and weapons. I don't know if the boss has any good ones here.
goods?"
Margaux handed over the nameplate, Long Stick nodded, and said with a smile: "No problem! Just wait for me, I'll carve the nameplate first."
Turning around, the tool shop owner took the nameplate and fiddled with the equipment over there for a while. Soon, Margaux's nameplate was carved.
"President Arrow, we are really grateful to you, Mermaid Song. The monster in Swan Castle has been eliminated, so we no longer have to worry about that monster coming to attack us, right? Just by virtue of this
, I also want to give you a good price! Come on, you can make any request! I will definitely make the weapons and equipment you request!"
Ai Luo nodded cheerfully, took out the drawings he designed last night, placed them on the table and said: "Our guild now needs a shield and two short swords. I hope the shields can be heavier. Our family
The warriors can already carry heavy objects. Then the shield can have some concave and convex shapes to facilitate our flower fairies to cast spells."
"Then for the dagger, I hope it can be forged with high-quality steel blocks. Your tool shop has expanded recently, so you should be able to get a lot of good materials, right? The sharper the better, and it is best to have one that shines brightly as soon as you pick it up.
That kind of thing.”
The boss of the long stick looked at the design drawing and said after a moment: "I can think of a way to deal with the shield, but the design of your dagger is a bit demanding? Such a thin blade must be able to produce cuts and maintain a certain hardness.
.This is not easy to forge.”
These two daggers were designed by Ai Luo based on the weapons distributed to the combat students in the old Teng Shu Academy when they graduated. Although they are standard weapons, they look very strong and useful. So Ai Luo also
I hope to be able to forge such equipment.
"Brother President, doesn't that assassin already have a weapon? Why do we still need to equip him with weapons?"
Hearing Coco's question, Ai Luo didn't reply, but Margaux on the side laughed and said: "This is called backup. When we killed that monster before, the assassin used up two swords and then left with his bare hands, right?
?If we can't successfully deal with that monster at this time, it will be over. Besides... I think that stone sword may be too dangerous, so it's best not to use it until the critical moment."
Coco was a little unconvinced and quickly looked at Ai Luo. But unfortunately, her brother, the president, did not express any objection.
Indeed, the power of the stone sword is very powerful. A magic sword with the ability to directly petrify others must have strong practicality. But from another perspective, wounds cut with a knife can be treated with therapeutic aerosols, but
If it is a petrified wound, how to treat it?
If the stone sword accidentally hurts one of your own, how will you heal it?
Therefore, this is also the reason why Airl hopes to avoid using the stone sword as much as possible.
Long Stick looked at the design, nodded, and said: "Okay! I will try to find a way to get these two things out. But it may take a while. In addition, the thickness of your shield and the craftsmanship of the dagger
The requirements are not low, and since you don’t provide materials this time, the cost of production I charge may be a little higher.”
Ai Luo was mentally prepared for this, nodded and said, "Okay, tell me, how do you calculate the price?"
"Well... I'll give you one gold coin for the shield, and seven silver coins for the dagger, for a total of 2 gold and 4 silver coins. How about that?"
Ai Luo's face suddenly fell. He shook his head and said: "So expensive?! 2 gold and 4 silver coins?! This is just a shield and two swords! Boss Long Stick, I have been taking care of you.
It’s a side business! Isn’t this price too expensive?!”
The long stick also looked a little unsure. He hesitated a little and said: "As for the shield, the length, width and height you gave require a lot of real iron ingots. The price of iron is not cheap now. I'm afraid there is really no way to do this."
Discount. These two swords... Although they may not use much raw materials, the design is really out of the ordinary. I don’t know if they can be made smoothly. It may take a lot of time. During this time, I almost didn’t work.
so……"
"If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be just enough to use it to expand the store?"
Ai Luo had no intention of letting the boss take the money out of his own pocket so easily, and said with a smile——
"Boss Long Stick, we are all old customers and old neighbors! And you just said that you will give me a bargain because we destroyed that monster!"
Probably because he really couldn't stand Ai Luo's tough words, the boss finally gritted his teeth, nodded, and said: "Then... okay! 2 gold coins really can't be lower! In addition, the delivery time I have
There’s no guarantee, and I just said it might take a lot of time, are you able to accept this?”
Ai Luo patted the table and gave a thumbs up to Boss Long Stick: "Boss Long Stick, I can rest assured that you will handle the matter! As long as the price is negotiated, everything can be solved easily!"
After the discussion, Ai Luo handed over the money and the design drawings. The long stick boss nodded and began to study the design drawings repeatedly.
After leaving the tool store, the three of them went to Boss Budian's clothing store. They originally wanted to buy a few changes of clothes for Margot, but the light mage said that she didn't need it. She could buy some cloth and make it herself. This was true.
Ai Luo and Coco were a little surprised.
Walking and shopping all the way, there were no shops to visit under the bright sun. After a while, the three of them arrived at the central square, sat down in front of a shop selling ice water, and rested for a while.
"President, you are really good at bargaining."
Margo chuckled——
"As for the shield and weapon, if you can get two gold coins, it's definitely a profit, right? This requires a lot of iron ingots."
Hearing Margaux praising Ai Luo, Coco's nose immediately turned up: "What's the point? Our brother, the president of the family, has never suffered a loss in business!"
Margot chuckled again: "Look at how proud you are, what does being an excellent president have to do with you? You, a little girl, want to embrace a man's lap a few years too early."
Coco's face turned red, and her whole body immediately felt like it wanted to explode.
Ai Luo quickly comforted him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Margaux, don't bully Coco all the time. Coco, don't act like that just because someone says a few words, talks back, or taunts you.
You look unhappy."
"It's really hard for you as the guild president to regulate the emotions of so many members in the guild. Oh, by the way, besides having so many conspiracies and tricks, you are also quite shameless? I said it before I joined the guild.
Miss Margaux, now that you have joined the guild, you are calling me by name and giving orders?"
Airl discovered that this light mage seemed to have a bad habit of teasing the necromancer to relieve his boredom. After saying a few words himself, she became even more enthusiastic.
But that's fine. Being able to talk to each other is better than entering a cold war without saying anything.
Calling for three bowls of rock sugar water, Ai Luo started to review the cloths he just bought while mediating the issue between the two mages. He didn't know what Margaux meant by being able to make clothes... I hope it wasn't that.
The kind that involves cutting the fabric in half and then attaching it one to the other.
While they were chatting, Ai Luo saw Mayor Pelican rushing over from a distance.
Round Cheese panted heavily. After rushing into the shed of the herbal tea shop, he immediately lay down on his seat and looked out of breath.
But just a minute later, the mayor stood up with a blushing face and wanted to hold Ai Luo's hand.
Unfortunately, Ai Luo quickly retracted his hand, leaving him in vain.
"President Arrow! Mermaid Song! That's great! You... you are really! That's great! Do you know? I almost... almost can't believe it! You said you solved the monster of Swan Castle! Then
Chapter completed!
