133. Leather shop
The streets are not very wide, the houses here are built very low, in order to occupy as much space as possible, so that the narrow rooms can live in more poor people, the orcs also cleverly want to expand the wooden houses on the street little by little, and now to this extent, the eaves of the houses facing the street are almost all pasted together, making this uneven stone road seem too dark and damp, the cracks of the stone slabs are full of cyan moss, and the drainage ditches on both sides of the road are flowing with muddy sewage, and there are even dead rats or rotting animal entrails floating in them, and the filthy grease that has congealed into lumps hangs on the side walls of the gutters, like black ice condensed on the side of the gutters in winter。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
We walked down one of these dark alleys, and saw an orc family setting up a table on the edge of the street under the edge of the rain, and in a large wooden bowl on the table lay large pieces of vegetable cakes, which were made of a large number of wild herbs and a very small amount of black flour, mixed together, and fried on a stone slab. It is said that this cake does not put salt, but looking at the smile and satisfaction on the face of the family, in this second, I realized a hint of happiness.
A leprosy dog, with most of its fur shed, is sticking its head into the gutter and licking the animal fat that has congealed on the walls of the gutter, which is usually scraped off the taut leather by a spatula before the tanning is cooked, and becomes gutter oil as the hot sewage flows into the gutter.
A few bare-bottomed orc children squatted on the side of the street, each holding a straw pole and poking an ant hole, playing very attentively.
Beneath the edge of the rain on the side of the street, occasionally stood an orc girl draped in a single sheet, most of whom braided their hair into countless fine braids, which they gathered together. Twist your hair into a bun at the back of your head. The face is cleanly washed, with slender arms and rounded shoulders. The delicate collarbones are exposed, and the thin sheets are wrapped around the body. There is also a round thigh showing underneath.
Whenever there are orcs who don't look too down, they will raise their eyes and take a look, and if they think there is a chance, they will come out from under the eaves and show their figure and face in front of the orcs, or throw out a provocative look and movement, I am an eye-opener, it turns out that there are such secluded and dirty streets in the towns of the orcs, and there will also be street girls.
Kuzi is a chick who doesn't seem to have any experience. He was still wearing a light armor made of precious demon antelope skin, which was the age when women had no ability to resist, and the young orcs in adolescence were more eager to understand the plump breasts and round thighs of women, so when he walked down this street, he naturally became the object of competition for favor among these street women, and some would even directly tear off the sheets on their bodies, so that Kuzi could appreciate them up and down at close range.
I saw that there was nothing unusual on Katerina's expression. And sometimes I look curiously at the hairstyles on the heads of these women standing on the street. Kuz was a little embarrassed, and at this time he walked forward silently with his head half-bowed with his face red-faced, and even carefully avoided the street girls who stood in the way, and rushed through in a panic with their indulgent laughter.
Kig looked furious. And she pulled me into her arms with a short temper, covered my eyes with one hand, and told me to follow her.
In fact, what made her heart unbalanced was not walking through such a street full of poor men and street girls. It's not those orc street girls and their plump wheat-colored ****, it's me. The reason for this is that I gave Catalina the precious salamander skin. I didn't think about sending her. Although she didn't say anything, she would always pinch me for some reason. I sensed something was wrong.
It's like buying a gift for the little wife and being discovered by the eldest wife, but I can't argue, hey, you're a magician, it's appropriate to wear a magic robe, the magic robe also has a little effect of restoring mana, and it can slightly increase the casting speed, how beautiful! If you really dare to tell Miss Qi this, that is pure death, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling Miss Qi plainly, I know your careful thoughts, it's not right for you to think so! Ji Jia, you don't think you're dying fast enough, are you?
I walked side by side in this small alley with Kige, she held my arm with one hand, and it looked like my sister was pulling my brother shopping, but her two fingers were pressed on the inside of my arm, pinching the tender flesh little by little, and it hurt my teeth and teeth. Caterina followed behind the two of us, and she saw this scene carefully, her pearl-like teeth biting her lower lip, and her big red wavy hair fluctuating with the rhythm of walking, which was very charming, but she did not dare to complain to Miss Qi.
The reason why Miss Qi likes this salamander skin is very simple, that is, there is a layer of red streamer on the surface of this leather, like lava flowing in the leather, which can emit a simple red dazzling color, very beautiful, this salamander leather is not big, if it is for a child like me, there will be a set of tight leather light armor leftover, if you save some materials, you can almost make a red pleat. I inadvertently ruined her planned plan, in order to make Miss Qi angry, I could only grovel and keep saying some small words next to me, I whispered to Miss Qi: "Oh, you don't pinch anymore, you don't feel it when you pinch your arm, have you ever heard of the Onyx Beast?"
"A demonic beast that looks like a black panther, exudes the luster of agate stones, and is good at speed and claw strikes!" Qige quickly said its characteristics, and asked rhetorically: "This kind of demonic beast, I haven't heard of it anywhere, but I have seen a complete specimen in the Magic Guild of the Grimm Imperial Capital, how did I think to ask this?"
I took the opportunity to quickly pull the red-faced Kuz to my side, put my hand on his shoulder very reluctantly, and said to Qige proudly: "This is a secret of our brothers, and we know the traces of the Onyx. ”
Onyxmon is very rare, it is a very picky living environment of the beast, it is very picky about food, only likes to hunt dragon flies. Therefore, the Agate Beast has always existed in the rainforest of the swamp clan of the Southern Wilderness, until a magician accidentally discovered that the leather of the Agate Beast has a very high magical affinity, which is an excellent material for making low-level magic robes. In this way, the agate hide, which originally belonged to the ranks of luxury, was targeted by magicians. A large number of orders flew like snowflakes to the hunters of the swamp clan, and the first large-scale encirclement and suppression of the agate beast in history was vigorously launched. In the end, it led to the complete disappearance of the agate beast in the Southern Wilderness, and some scholars even speculated. It is likely that these agate beasts are extinct.
"You know where?" Kig didn't ask me, but Kuz next to me, and guessed that it must have been Kuz who told me, and it was much easier to ask Kuz than me.
Kutz, the child, adheres to the good habit of the orcs, that is, if you don't like to lie, as long as it is true, you will not hesitate to admit it. At this time, he saw Qige asking him, and he did not hesitate. Nod your head directly, and you have to open your mouth to speak. I hurriedly covered his mouth, and my fingers were almost bitten by his sharp canine teeth.
I looked around cautiously before I lowered my voice and said, "Let's talk about this later!"
In this way, I succeeded in diverting Qige's attention, and I was saved from the disaster of flesh and skin.
Finally, scratching my head at the cobweb-like path, I pulled two copper plates out of my pocket and threw them to an orc child playing on the side of the street. Say to him, "Take us to the 'Three Earth Storms' leather shop, and I'll give you two more copper plates." ”
The orc kid blinked big black eyes, and I thought at first he didn't understand what I was saying or didn't know the leather shop, but I saw that his eyes were clear. Not quite like that. While he was pondering what he was going to do, he suddenly reached out again and motioned for the remaining two copper plates. I could only remind him: "Those two copper plates, you need to take us to the leather shop." I'll give it to you!"
After listening to me, he winked at me again. I followed his gaze and saw that under the wooden plaque of the shop on the other side of the street, there were three large words written "Tailor's Shop", and at the bottom of this plaque, next to the doorpost, there was a small plaque, leaning against the doorpost, which read "Three Earth Storm Bears Leather Shop". There's a smaller line underneath: Please go into the backyard!
Unexpectedly, we came to the front of this leather shop, but we couldn't see this shop, so we could only follow the promise just now, and threw two copper plates to the child again, and then the child's eyes showed a smile, and nodded happily at me, and quickly put the copper plate in his hand into his pocket, and patted the dust on his hands, pointed to the shop, and said to send us in.
Sometimes, we are only one step away from the truth, but we always linger outside the door of the truth.
Inside the door of this shop, there was really a tailor's shop, and in it there were several young orcs skillfully sewing linen trousers, which were the most common style worn by orcs on the street. Maybe it's so skilled that you don't even have to keep your eyes on the needle and thread, and you can make the needle quickly sew the trouser leg up and down.
When they saw the orc child leading us into the store, they joked with the orc child, trying to pull off the orc child's pants, but the orc child shrewdly avoided them. The orc children didn't bother with them, and just lifted the curtain at the back door of the tailor's shop and motioned for us to enter.
When we walked in the door, we found that we had come to a small courtyard, and the whole yard was lined with wooden shelves, many of which were stretched with cooked leather, as if they were waiting to dry. The small courtyard was poorly ventilated, and the skins on the neatly arranged wooden shelves smelled unpleasant, and there was a row of large tanks full of water by the wall, and we walked through the cracks of the wooden shelves, so I complained to Kuz: "Why is this leather shop so hidden, it's hard to find!"
When the child heard my words, he smiled even more.
When we walked in from the back of the store, we found out that it was because we got lost and stumbled into the back door of the "Three Earth Storm Bears" leather shop, and happened to see the owner's child sitting outside playing in the back, so he brought us in through the back door, and led us directly to the shop, looking for his father, and asking him to help us make a set of salamander leather armor.
The middle-aged shopkeeper turned out to be the father of this orc child, originally he didn't agree to cut the queue like this, especially the living, there were still many old customers among the people waiting in line outside, but looking at the aggrieved little face of the orc child, he hugged him back into his arms, and said busily: "Do it, don't you just do it, your father and I do this, and I'm afraid that the business will not be successful?"
So we became a small group of people who disturbed the order, and at this time we could never appear in front of others, so we had to huddle in the middle-aged shopkeeper's dressing room, and could not go out.
This "Three Earth Storms" leather shop has a very large shop façade in front. And it's overcrowded. Luckily, we were brought in by this orc kid, otherwise we would have seen the front entrance of the leather shop. The orcs lined up in a wall, waiting for their leather armor to be tailored. Not only did we look at each other, but we said that if we waited in line, we wouldn't have to wait a full day!
Giving up the salamander leather armor to Katarina, I also have my thoughts, Katarina's figure is already slightly taller than the average height among Terran women. The figure is also very round and well-proportioned, very fleshy, but not fat. Salamander leather armor tailored to her figure. Even if you meet a better leather armor in the future and want to change it, it will be easy to sell such a regular-sized leather armor, and the average female warrior will not be much different from Katerina's figure, so you can wear it without major changes.
In this case, this set of salamander leather armor is a store of value, and even if Caterina encounters any predicament in the future, I am afraid that this set of leather armor can help her tide over the difficulties. Speaking of the value of this salamander, it can be sold for at least ten gold coins in the leather market. According to the memories of a previous life, one gold coin in this world can buy about two tons of wheat flour. The difference in value is no more than 10,000 RMB, so this precious salamander skin is equivalent to a high-end mink coat.
The owner of the shop is a very burly wolf man, with a beard on his face, big eyes and thick eyebrows, which looks very imposing. In particular, the body is like a beer keg, walking slowly with a shy stomach. He wears a pair of suspender trousers, and like a tailor, he wears a tape measure over his shoulders. He had a knife and pen in his ear, and a ragged parchment book around his neck. Sitting in the chair made me feel that the chair could fall apart completely at any time.
We took the salamander skin out of our bag. The middle-aged shopkeeper took a breath, and when he looked at us, he was much more formal, his rough big hand rubbed the leather repeatedly, frowned and said calmly: "This lizard skin is in good condition, it is a young salamander, but the skills of cooked leather are average, who are you going to make leather armor for?"
I pulled out Katarina, who was hiding behind Kige, and pushed her in front of the middle-aged shopkeeper and said, "Make her a light skin!"
Kig snorted dissatisfiedly on the side, causing Caterina to cry and stand in place for a while.
"I'm really willing to give your little wife a lot of money!" Qige pouted with a gloomy face, and there were ten thousand dissatisfactions in those big eyes that could talk. Kutz has always been far away from these upsets.
I had no choice but to go up and put my arms around Kige's thighs, I was short, and my head was just attached to Kige's thin waist, and then I said to her scoundrel: "Look, this salamander skin is like this, I can't make another one for a while, this salamander skin is already like this, or you see how my skin is, if you think it's okay, let the shopkeeper take a knife and peel it off, and make you a set of armor?"
Qige held my armpits with both hands, picked me up from the ground, put his white forehead against my forehead, and whispered in my ear: "What do I want you to do with your skin, don't disgust me, I don't care if you can awaken the magic pool in the future, you have to promise me that you will come to the imperial capital to paint me a magic pattern structure, and you will ...... on your body"
As she spoke, her face burned red. I was very uncomfortable being held by her like this, so I gently nodded her slightly bulging ****, and asked half-jokingly: "Is that tattoo also okay?"
"Have you been living a good life for too long, and your whole body is starting to itch!" Qige was ashamed and angry when I asked, and he took my ears with both hands, and dragged me to the corner and beat me violently, and I didn't dare to fight back, so she didn't have strength in her hands as a magician, maybe she was afraid that it would really hurt me, so she beat me on the back with a pink fist.
"With your temper, how can you get married in the future. I crouched in the corner and fought back, and was immediately hit with another hammer.
Sometimes, I can't figure out what Kig is thinking, maybe it's a multifaceted contradiction in her inner world. Some people say that if it is in the rainy season, don't think about what kind of results will be, just quietly feel life, savor the ups and downs of emotions, don't give up lightly, and don't drill the horns, it is such a quiet and natural feeling.
