Arthur took a sword from the display rack, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, poked it on the counter, looked at it from top to bottom, looked not very satisfied, and said: "Although there are many types of weapons, there are not many choices for a single type, this one looks okay, how much does it cost?"

The boss didn't look up, and replied directly: "Seven hundred and fifty dinks." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Seven hundred and fifty dinks, so expensive!?" Werther and Nayin, who entered later, were startled by Arthur's suddenly raised voice, and the boss instantly raised his head and glared at Arthur, and the ruffian spirit that the young man pretended to be suddenly weakened a lot.

"Well, not only selling, you should be able to repair swords here, will it be cheaper than buying a new sword?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the materials used to repair and the time it takes. ”

The boss stretched out his hand to Arthur, who was stunned.

"Huh?"

"As for the sword to be repaired, I can only judge the price after I have seen it. ”

"This ......" put down the sword in the shop, and Arthur subconsciously touched his waist.

Witt quickly stepped forward: "Is there any other need for sword cultivation?"

"Special requirements? There are no special requirements, as long as you have a license. ”

"Permit?" the three asked in unison.

"Yes, a license, a license to own a weapon, a license to buy weapons and repair them. Seeing the surprised expressions of the three people, the boss reacted, "I don't know the license, you are not from Se'an?"

Vidner nodded: "We are travelers, and we have just arrived in Sai'an. What is the license, please?"

"Oh, it turned out to be a traveler. In Sean, if you want to have a weapon, you can only do it with a specific class. The application is submitted to the examination institute responsible for the audit, and the license will be issued after approval. We can only sell weapons to the guest after showing his permit. The identity of the guest should also be recorded and reported to the industrial examination office on time. Seeing that the young man suddenly lost his spirit, the boss's tone softened a lot, "Travelers can also apply, and if you apply for a temporary permit, it can be completed in one day, very quickly." ”

Witt glanced at Arthur and asked, "Do you need a license for bows and arrows?" I don't see bows and arrows in your shop. ”

"Bows and arrows are not needed, but the weapons shops and blacksmiths in Sean do not sell bows and arrows, only the Hunters' Guild. If you're a hunter, show them your hunter license and you can buy it. ”

"Hey, there are so many rules. Without saying anything more, Arthur bowed his head and walked out of the smithy.

Werther and Nein glanced at each other and followed, watching Arthur walk forward with his head down, but they didn't say anything.

It didn't take long for Arthur to stop and look up, next to the tavern he had visited when he first arrived in Sean. Turning to look at his companion behind him, Arthur pointed to the door: "How about you go get something to eat?"

Witt agreed, and Naine was happy, smiling and following Arthur.

"The owner, honey bread and orange water. Arthur sat directly on the high chair in front of the bar, with his arms on the countertop, and the boss was still wiping down his wine glass as he had when he first arrived, a similar scene that made Arthur feel reassured and comfortable.

"Oh, it's the traveler's brother, welcome. ”

Naine sat down and smiled sweetly at the boss: "Apple pie and orange water, trouble." ”

As if in some habit, Nayin was on the left and on the right, and the two sandwiched Arthur in the middle.

Witt waved his hand to the boss: "A glass of white horse, thank you." ”

There weren't many customers in the store, so after serving the things that the three of them had ordered, the boss chatted with them while wiping down his glasses.

"How's it going, have you adapted to Sean?"

"Ah, it's fine. Stuffed with bread in his mouth, Arthur replied vaguely.

The boss chuckled, "Did you touch the nail?"

"Ah...... There is no ......" Naine wanted to speak for Arthur, but he didn't know what to say.

After a few mouthfuls of bread, Arthur was direct: "Everything else is fine, it's just that my sword is broken and I want to repair it, but I can't repair it without a license, which is not very satisfying." ”

"You can apply for a temporary permit, and if you're lucky, you can do it in half a day. ”

"But we're leaving Se'an today, and we can't make it in time. ”

"I see, it's already afternoon, well, it's really too late. After thinking about it, the boss continued to smile, "Don't hate Sean because of this, haha." ”

"No, it won't. Arthur held the glass in his left hand, and because he couldn't grasp it well, the glass shook occasionally, and every time it looked like it was about to fall, his fingertips would suddenly tighten, and the cup was still held safely in his hand. The open fingers and loose force kept the orange water in the cup shaking, and the floating ice cubes hit the walls of the cup with a clear sound.

"It doesn't seem convenient to me, probably because I'm a traveler. Won't you locals feel inconvenienced? You still have to apply to buy weapons, and you can only have weapons in certain classes, so don't you feel uneasy? Arthur let the glass hover between firm and falling, looking for a delicate balance.

"Well, how do you say that? Putting down the work at hand, the boss touched his chin and thought for a while before replying, "Sean's arms control system has been in place for nearly twenty years, and we are all used to it. Originally, most of the Se'an people used faith and self-discipline, and there was little need for weapons, so it was easy to accept this system. Sean is very safe, don't look at the soldiers, in fact, they are rarely used. ”

"Arms control ......," Arthur muttered.

"Arms control is something that the Church has always enacted. To distinguish whether a place is a church power or not, arms control can be used as a criterion. If the place has begun to implement a system of arms control, then it means that it is already a complete ecclesiastical sphere of influence. ”

Witt was surprised: "So it's not just Sean, as long as it's the Church's area of influence, you have to rely on a license to buy weapons?"

The boss nodded: "That's right." In the case of new weapons controls, the lord would exchange the bounty for the weapons that people already had, and it was said that the church also contributed to it. Presumably because of this, few people objected to the protests. ”

Witte asked, "Is the Church a big sphere of influence?" and how many cities are in the whole territory of Lufia, which are under the Church's sphere of influence?"

"Well, there's almost half of the area. The boss replied uncertainly, but all three of them could feel that the truth must be no more.

Arthur was silent, Witt sighed, and Nayin looked at the two of them, not knowing how to comfort them.

It didn't take long for a customer to enter the store, and the owner went to greet him. Arthur put down his glass and tilted his head back at Werther's sigh, not knowing what he wanted to see.

"I'm afraid that weapons and equipment will become a problem in the future. Werther scratched his hair in annoyance, picked up his glass and took a big sip of wine, "We have to find a solution." ”

"Don't worry, Werther has more arrows in stock, and Arthur has prepared an extra sword to spare, so maybe you can ......" Nain tried to be relieved, "Besides, I am also a strength and a weapon." ”
