On this street, there is a store that specializes in selling protective gear and weapons. The store is quite large and has a wide variety of items. When Wayne and the others entered, there were already many people in the store.
Everyone looked along the glass display case on the right, there were knives, guns, swords, armor, everything.
"Hey, look, it's the 'Peace Stone' and the 'Magic Seal.'" Carol said, pointing to the two small things on the box in the display cabinet.
Cornelia: "Is this the prize for this friendly match?"
"Um."
Ping'an Stone is a wood fossil with a bluish-brown texture that looks ordinary. This stone naturally has the ability to attract natural energy. When the wearer wears it, it has the effect of maintaining good health and has a certain repellent effect.
.So it is called Ping An Stone. This kind of fossil can be made artificially, so it is not a very rare thing.
The magic seal is also an artificial magic object. It is a piece of golden jewelry. Some are made into bracelets or necklaces. The effect is very simple. It mainly speeds up the self-restoration of magic power in the body. The effect is average. In this world where magic flourishes
In this era, objects with such functions can be seen everywhere, and they are not valuables. The academy uses them as rewards, and the commemorative significance is greater.
Wayne was not interested in these gadgets. He saw a vertical display cabinet in the corner of the store displaying a pair of armor weapons: "Look, it's the 'MYOL-99 Imperial Standard Armor'."
In fact, he didn't need to say it. The nameplate on the outside of the showcase already clearly stated the name of the exhibit, and it said it could be sold.
Carol said: "I found that everything in the Imperial Capital is so cheap."
"Cheap? Is that so?" Wayne didn't seem to have any idea about the price of things. He saw that the standard long sword in the display cabinet was priced at 715 gold coins. In his opinion, 715 gold coins meant it was very expensive.
But Nelia is a rich young lady, and she doesn’t understand the price of weapons and equipment.
Carol took out a chain hanging from her waist and said, "Although it looks different, mine is also a magic seal. This seal was bought for 180 gold coins. I saw the one in the showcase just now.
The price of the seal is only 120 gold coins, and that piece seems to be better than mine."
"Really?" Wayne scratched his head, still looking like he had no idea.
Carol added: "There is also the Peace Stone. The price in other places is usually around 250 gold coins, but here it only costs 150 gold coins. Do you know what this means?"
"Meaning that your parents can save a month's salary?"
Carol rolled her eyes: "Don't they all say that things in big cities are expensive? It seems to be the complete opposite. How strange."
Bing Zhixie interjected: "There are more people in Debiles, more supplies, and more good things. The more things there are, the more competition there will be, and the prices will be cheaper. On the contrary, many rural towns rely on big cities for these items.
Supply, plus road freight, items are scarce, so things are naturally more expensive. There’s nothing surprising about that.”
Carol was stunned and suddenly said: "So that's it."
Wayne pretended to understand and shook his head and complained: "It's so rare and strange."
In the shop, ordinary short swords cost about 2.30 silver coins, better long swords cost 3.5 gold coins, and even better swords cost about 10 gold coins. But none of these seemed to catch the eye of Wayne. He couldn't tell whether the armor was good or bad.
But it’s basically true that the expensive ones are good, and the good-looking ones are valuable.
The clerk was selling the equipment in the store to customers. A clerk held a slender silver sword in his hand and said: "This is the long sword called the 'Melon's Blade'. It was made by the famous craftsman Mei Long five centuries ago.
A new type of long sword made by Melon. No less than 400,000 of this kind of long sword were manufactured in total. It was once equipped with a large number of troops and became the standard equipment of the Geratias Empire. After Mellon's death, the production of 'Melon's Blade'
The method was subsequently lost, and no one in the world can make such a superb standard weapon. Although the total production of 'Melon's Blade' exceeds 400,000, it has been lost and lost over hundreds of years, and now there are only a few left in the world.
There are not many. Everyone knows that Geratias has good relations with our country, and King Geratias once sent one of the gifts sent by the envoy. That year, the country of Geratias gave a total of 10,000 pieces.
Most of the Mellon's Blades have been awarded by the royal palace to low-level officers with meritorious service over the years, and some have escaped, and this 'Melon's Blade' in our store is one of them."
Seeing that the clerk was talking so lively and that many students were listening to his story, Wayne murmured curiously: "Is this sword very powerful?"
Cornelia said: "I have heard of the 'Melon's Blade', but I don't know the details."
The clerk continued: "Students, don't underestimate the 'Melon Blade' just because it is standard equipment. Its quality is not bad at all, even compared to the latest 'MYOL-99 Lieutenant's Long Sword' from the Demon Moon Empire."
'The performance is even better."
With this said, everyone immediately has a very intuitive comparison. Only the top ten in this friendly match are eligible to receive the 'MYOL-99 style' lieutenant equipment. The 'Melon's Blade' is above this. For this
The quality of the sword was immediately clear.
Wayne felt itchy as he listened and asked loudly: "How much does this sword cost?"
The clerk held up the sword with a smile and said: "Sell it for 1,300 gold coins."
As soon as these words came out, the lively crowd fell silent. 1,300 gold coins was an astronomical figure for ordinary students. However, there were many children of wealthy people in the imperial capital, so they were not afraid of not being able to sell it.
Wayne took a deep breath, but he was very excited about this sword.
"1,300 gold coins is too expensive. Wayne, do you want to buy it? It's not worth it." Carol said doubtfully.
"Sounds very good." Wayne didn't understand this, so he turned his attention to Cornelia and asked for her opinion.
Kenelia nodded slightly, meaning if you want it, just buy it.
Wayne breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he and Cornelia would not refuse based on their relationship since childhood, not to mention that Cornelia is such a kind person. But even though Cornelia agreed to buy it,
But he began to have doubts. 1,300 gold coins was not a small amount. His father could not earn as much as 1,300 gold coins even if he worked on the farm for a year. In other words, only with a rich and wealthy daughter like Cornelia, he dared to think of such a thing. But.
He didn't want the money to be wasted, so he thought of it and asked Bingzhixie: "Do you think this sword is good?" In Wayne's view, Bingzhixie's strength is above him, so his knowledge must be above him.
, he wanted to hear what Bing Zhixie thought of this sword so that he could make up his mind.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bing Zhixie said: "I know a little about the 'Melon Blade'. I have heard people say that the 'Melon Blade' is the best weapon of the same grade.
It’s one of the weapons, and the price shouldn’t be too expensive.” In fact, he didn’t hear anyone talking about it, but he had seen it himself.
Wayne said happily: "Does that mean you can buy it?"
Bing Zhixie said: "I didn't say that. In my opinion, the 'Melon Blade' and the 'MYOL-99 style long sword' on the display cabinet are weapons of the same grade. Although the former is better, there is no difference overall.
How much. From a practical perspective, the latter is more cost-effective.”
"What is 'cost-effectiveness'?" Wayne scratched his head.
Carol said speechlessly: "It's the ratio of performance to price. Can you read more books?"
In terms of appearance, anyone can see that the 'Melon's Blade' is much more exquisite, while the 'MYOL-99 Long Sword' is more like a crude product. However, military equipment pays attention to pragmatism, that is, ensuring performance while ensuring
Reduce the price. The 'MYOL-99 style long sword' can become the standard equipment of the Demon Moon Empire. Its performance must be excellent, but it is not so refined out of practical considerations. Bing Zhixie understands this, but others are very
It’s hard to figure it out.
Wayne pointed to the display cabinet and said, "You mean it's better to buy that one?"
"Based on your current situation, yes." Bing Zhixie said.
"Okay then." Wayne was a little disappointed. It was obvious that he was interested in the exquisitely crafted 'Mellon's Blade' that the clerk introduced eloquently.
In fact, the craftsmanship of the 'MYOL-99 style long sword' is not rough, but there is no harm without comparison.
After the clerk finished talking about 'Mellon's Blade', he started to sell 'Mellon's Shield'. With his eloquence that day, he told a story about a hero and a beauty. At the end of the story, of course, he praised how great 'Mellon's Shield' was.
.
After looking around, Wayne bought the 'MYOL-99 long sword'. There seemed to be more than one such long sword in this store. But no matter what, this sword was indeed more practical for Wayne. At least.
Maintenance is easier.
Carol spent 400 gold and bought something, which was a magic device called the 'Magic Supercharger'. It looked like a golden metal square box on the outside, but when opened, it revealed a set of sophisticated magic mechanisms.
There is a magic circle blessing on the periphery of the mechanism, and a magic pumice stone hangs in the center. This thing is not a great new thing, there are similar devices sold all over the mainland. In the final analysis, it is because Moyue is a magical country, and the workmanship is better among similar products.
OK, the price is cheaper.
As for the purpose of this thing, it is just like its name. Many people who are new to magic cannot achieve effective magic pressure when casting spells due to their insufficient ability to control magic, making the magic they cast unable to take shape or lack of power.
.And this supercharger is a device that helps the caster to pressurize the magic power. It is very practical and very effective for trainee or junior magicians.
