Chapter 58: New Equipment and New Crisis

Sid had already walked into the processing room and exchanged pleasantries with the boss. Ian and Zach stood outside the door, not moving. This simple action of pushing the door in and in seems to be very troublesome at this time.

It is a door with a reed attached to the hinge, and when you push it open, you don't have to do it yourself, and it closes automatically under the action of the spring. Ian was going to push the door open and go in first, then let Zach hold against the door at some point when it was closed but not closed, and then push it open and walk in. This sequence of actions may seem very simple, but when applied to psychic training, Ian finds it tricky.

The springs will cause the door to close unevenly, and Zach needs to accurately capture the right moment, resist it with the right force, and then apply the force to push it open and let himself through. While Zach was doing these moves, if he wanted to maintain the effectiveness of his training, Ian should continue to walk towards the counter, and even greet the owner of the processing house.

He simulated it in his mind for a long time, and finally gave up the challenge. Honestly asked Zach to wait outside the door, and pushed the door first and walked in. Wait for the door to close automatically, then let Zach push the door in again.

The owner of the raccoon man heard the doorbell ring three times and thought that there were other guests coming to the door, but when he looked up, he saw a spirit, obviously taken aback.

"What is this?"

"Uh—his psychic power ......" Sid glanced back, thinking it was too much trouble to explain, "leave it alone. ”

The boss couldn't help but glance at Zach a few more times before returning his attention to the deal in front of him.

"It's your two-handed sword," the Raccoon Boss struggled as he dragged a two-handed greatsword out from behind the counter and threw it in front of Sid, "I reinforced the area around the blade with the corpse carp's vertebrae—the connection between the blade and the hilt, here—so that it could withstand more resistance. ”

The part between the hilt and the blade of the sword is called the sword grid. Sid's two-handed sword lattice was ground into a ring-shaped bone spur by the owner of the processing house from the large bone of the corpse carp, which was wrapped in a cross, extending up and down to the blade and hilt at the same time.

Sid held the hilt of the sword in both hands, the blade of the sword upright, raised it up and down in front of his eyes, and then comfortably tucked it into the solid sword belt behind his back. Seeing that Sid had no objection to the work, the raccoon boss went to take out Ian's one-handed sword and handed it over.

Ian didn't plan to stop training, and kept Zach hanging around the store while he walked around the counter and Sid's side, checking out the finished products that were placed nearby. At this time, seeing the boss hand over the sword, he interrupted his original action and reached out to take it. But as soon as he raised his hand, he felt that Zack's movements were uncoordinated, so he had to stop immediately and carefully adjust Zack. When Zach returned to normal, he slowly and carefully continued to raise his hand to catch the sword.

The raccoon boss doesn't know what Ian is up to.

In his eyes, the young man, who was not lively when he came to the store a few days ago, was also a human with normal behavior, but now he was so stiff and sluggish.

"I'm afraid I don't have some kind of illness......" he secretly regretted.

But after all, he was a businessman, so he continued to introduce: "Uh-this sword, I fused the more flexible bones of the corpse carp into the white steel ore of Hildril, and then reforged the sword body, you try to grunt." ”

Ian gripped the sword tightly in his right hand, but his mind was still controlling Zack's movements, and then he slowly raised his hand until the blade was raised above the top. Maintaining this posture, he brewed for a long time before he swung a sword with a "swish".

Sid and the Raccoon Man boss breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, it was too hard to watch.

The one-handed longsword with the corpse carp bone added to the sword body was weaker than the ordinary metal steel sword, but it still drew a silver-white arc in the air. When the blade stopped, the blade was still vibrating slightly.

"Good. Ian stiffly gave a minimalist comment.

In order to keep his sword swing in his usual precise posture and keep Zach in a natural walking posture, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

The raccoon man boss looked at Ian's face worriedly, thinking that he might have made this weapon for nothing. Seeing how hard he wielded a sword, how could he use it to fight? But an order is an order, and he turned around and pulled out a black cloak: "Come, child, I'll put a doo on you." ”

Sid's eyes straightened when he saw the cloak.

"Wow!" he exclaimed, "good workmanship, boss!"

"Hehe, count you on the goods. The boss smirked as he put a cloak on the stiff Ian.

The cloak was as black as ink, as if even the sunlight would be sucked in. It is made by processing and tanning the skin of the carp. The skin is strong and warm, but it can easily break before tanning. However, there was not a single trace of cracks or patches on this cloak, which made Sid admire.

The most powerful thing is the chest buckle of the cloak. The neckline on both sides is a loop on one side and a buckle on the other, and the clasp tightens and secures the cape by clasping the clasp. Although it is said to be a buckle, it is actually a spherical orb. The orb uses Ian's only corpse carp core, which is now being put into the ring by the raccoon boss's glove. The surface of this large orb emits a faint flowing purple sheen, which shines in the ring.

"This corpse carp core is most suitable for processing into ornaments, which can soothe the spirit and improve the efficiency of the use of spiritual power. The boss smirked at Ian, who was wearing his cloak, "It's just so good that he can be smart, it's so suitable!"

"It's a pity, it's a good child, why is he seriously ill......" The boss actually thought so in his heart at this time.

"It really works!" Ian laughed suddenly. He turned around and took two steps to the side. Although his demeanor was still a little sluggish and unusual, it was much more normal than before.

Ian looked at the cloak on his body back and forth, and nodded at the boss: "I feel much easier to control...... Thank you very much!"

"No thanks, no thanks," although I don't understand why this kid suddenly became normal again, the boss didn't plan to ask, "Come and settle the account, Dulu!"

"Okay, how much is it?" said Sid.

"The casting and processing of two-handed swords, the processing of long swords, the production of a corpse carp cloak, a total of eighty-three gold coins, thank you for your patronage!"

"How much?!" Sid and Ian cried out at the same time.

Sid's eyes were about to fall out. Ian had already begun to silently unbuckle his cloak, ready to return it to his boss.

"Don't don't grunt," the raccoon man boss hurriedly stopped Ian, "Two weapons are fine, this cloak is customized for your figure, and it's mainly helpful for the use of psionic power, return it to me, when will I be able to sell it!"

"Aren't you familiar with the processing house?" Ian said as he glanced at Sid and gritted his teeth in a low voice.

"I ...... How did I know that this corpse carp material was so expensive......" Sid rubbed his head in frustration.

Looking at it like this, the boss understands that there is not enough money.

"The materials of the corpse carp are rare now," the raccoon man boss also had a headache, "I also found a blacksmith shop to help with the casting of weapons...... In order to be worthy of the material of these corpse carp, I have made a bloody ......."

He scratched his buttocks, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did you kill this corpse carp yourself?"

This time, Sid didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told the raccoon man boss truthfully. This includes encountering Dayns and how he and Ian worked together to kill the corpse carp.

The boss scratched his head again, and the raccoon man's dark and shiny eyes rolled and rolled. No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere was very awkward. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Since this corpse carp is indeed what you participated in killing, and you have obtained the guild emblem of the black iron level...... Well, then let's make an investment!"

"Investment?" Ian was puzzled.

The raccoon boss didn't answer, he took out a piece of contract paper from behind the counter, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on it.

Sid took it and looked at it, only to see that the contract read:

"Balluru, the owner of the Fabrication House, signed this agreement with the Imperial Human Mercenaries (this is empty) and the Imperial Human Mercenaries (also empty) on the 9th of the month of Dew in the year 1284 of the Tihuak New Calendar:

Imperial Human Mercenaries (still empty here), Imperial Human Mercenaries (short blank), provided a bag of corpse carp materials, including a number of large vertebrae, a number of piercing bones, and a core. As an investment, Baluru has provided free processing services for it, and has provided a two-handed sword reinforced with corpse carp bones, a one-handed long sword recast from corpse carp bones, and a black cloak sewn from the core and fish skin of the corpse carp.

The investment recipient shall accept no less than ten commissions from the guild as a mercenary in the next year, and all the proceeds will be drawn by Balulu, and the total income shall not be less than 150 gold coins, with no upper limit.

The space appears to be for Ian and Sid to write their names.

Sid looked at the last four words "no cap", and shook his head, but he was helpless. The two didn't dare to say more, and quickly signed the contract. Looking at the issuance seal of this contract paper, it not only has legal effect, but may also be related to the mercenary guild. In other words, if Ian and they break the contract, they will not only receive sanctions under federal law, but also risk being punished or even removed from the mercenary guild.

Balulu took the signed contract and stroked his beard with satisfaction: "You have to work hard, Dulu!"

In any case, this contract can be regarded as saving them from their urgent need.

Ian rearranged his new cloak, straddled his sword diagonally around his waist, and turned to Baluru as he walked to the door, bowing to Baruru, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Uncle, uncle?!" Baruru's hand suddenly froze in the air, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "...... I—I'm only twenty years old!"

There was a clang, and the door to the processing room was closed. Ian didn't hear it, and had already walked out with Zach and Sid.

The pre-evolution of subhumans is too difficult to judge compared to humans who are not familiar with their race, and they are completely talking animals. However, once they evolve, the part of their face becomes closer to that of humans. While many subhumans still retain a lot of hair and ears, the hair on their faces fades in all directions, and the texture of their exposed skin is closer to that of humans, just like Lena.

Ian and Sid stood outside the door of the processing room, looking at each other helplessly. Looking at each other's sophisticated brand-new two-handed giant swords and cloak long swords, the two silently wept in their hearts. Both Ian and Sid are equipped with gear that will allow them to continue their adventures, but they are also in a new "financial crisis".
