Byron was the first time he had killed or injured someone, at least for the first time since he had possessed this body. The moment the man fell, he felt his heart beat wildly, his stomach cramped, and his limbs began to tremble. But at this time, a feeling like electricity swept through his body, and for some reason, although he was still in fear, his body had returned to its original state.

[One-handed weapon proficiency +1, current one-handed weapon proficiency 21; 】

Soon two men of the night watch in the tavern rushed out with swords and axes, and helped the merchant-like man to subdue the robber. The other people who were awakened also walked out of the store with their weapons, looking at the scene in front of them with some surprise.

One fell to the ground, and one stood next to him with a sword and crossbow, motionless......

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and things were cleared, and two robbers tried to blackmail a merchant from the city, before being rescued by Byron. The people praised Byron, and the tavernkeeper and the merchant defended Byron with the patrol soldiers who had heard the news, so Byron was not guilty.

But as in the game, the Paravenian merchant did invite him to a private room.

"Thank you so much, these bastards want to get some money out of me, but thank you so much for telling them how stupid they are. You may be seated."

The merchant invited Byron to sit down, and the clean room did make Byron feel a lot more comfortable.

"I can see that you are a warrior who is very good at using a sword, and I can also see that you have a lot of ambitions, and you are willing to do a little business. I'm a businessman, people used to call me a Parabun merchant, and it's an honor for them to have me represent my peers. I've got a favor here and I'd like you to help, but of course, it won't be in vain. You get a fair amount of money and I'm grateful. What are your considerations? ”

The merchant asked seriously.

"What do you want me to help with? Could it be that your relatives have been kidnapped and need me to help you rescue them? ”

Byron remembered the merchant in the game, to be precise, no matter which birthplace he chosen, there would be such a merchant's younger brother who was kidnapped, and then asked the player to help him rescue him, the task was simple and the reward was also very good.

"Kidnapping? It's been before, either you're well-informed, or you're really good at divination. ”

The merchant smiled when he heard Byron's words. Then he moved a little closer to Byron.

"The outlaws did kidnap my brother and extort me a sum of money. It's not a lot of money to me, but now other robbers and robbers are targeting my family, just like those two guys. I can't tolerate this kind of thing to continue to happen, if you wipe out those bandits, my business will be much better, you will be paid, I can give you 200 dinars, how about it? ”

"How many people are there and how strong are they?"

Although it sounds very similar to the newbie mission in the game, Byron still intends to inquire clearly so as not to be caught. After all, reality is not a game after all, and he chose the difficulty of "facing life" at the beginning, there is no chance to save it again, and he doesn't know if his so-called plug-in can bring him to life when he dies.

"Ah, you're not enough. There are a dozen of them, all of them are armed, and you'd better get a few more helpers. Whether it's an idler from a nearby village or a drunken mercenary in a tavern, they can help you. But in the end, you'll definitely earn it, and in addition to my pay, and the things that the robbers have accumulated, it's all yours. The merchant added.

"Okay, I'll take it. Where are the robbers? ”

After a little thought, Byron felt that this was indeed a good opportunity, so he nodded and accepted the commission from the merchant.

"The robbers near Parabun should have their people, or know where they are hiding, and you can ask them. I spend a little time in the tavern every day, and if I get the news, I'll let you know too. However, my squad still has to protect my caravan, and it may not be able to help you. If you kill the bandits, remember to bring back the head of the bandit leader who likes to cut people's ears as proof. ”

The merchant spoke nicely and tactfully, but Byron didn't even think that he would help. When people come to hire him, they just don't want to kill their own people, how can they send people to help him.

Finally, the goldfinger who didn't know what it was finally moved, even if it was a task prompt. However, Byron remembered that the system seemed to have a hint before, and that was his weapon proficiency, and only added a little. And although the crossbow arrow was used, it seems that the crossbow has not been added because the hunting crossbow has been missed. He really didn't understand the things in this attribute table.

However, the tossing in the middle of the night made Byron feel energetic again, and he couldn't sleep after lying on the floor for a long time, so that when he woke up the next day, even the dark circles under his eyes came out, and his spirit was not good.

Because of the limitations of this era and the poverty of the lower class life, there was no soap for washing faces, no toothbrushes for brushing teeth, and only water for washing hair. The worst thing is that the toilets here are not generally dirty, and the hygiene around the tavern is also very poor, there is garbage everywhere, there are swarms of flies, and there are many homeless people lying on the street.

After a little care, Byron drove the carriage to the bazaar in Paravon. Compared to the dirty slums, the situation here is similar to the TV series I watched before I crossed over, clean, bustling, people come and go, the streets and alleys are full of vendors' stalls, and there are many regular shops, if you live here for a long time, Byron can accept it.

There were many patrolling soldiers on the streets, many of them just to protect the law and order, and more importantly, to prevent tax evasion by merchants. And if you want to do business here, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat without tax money. Like Byron's goods, though they were to be sold to the great merchants of the city, the tax collector took away a piece of linen as a tax.

Byron drove the wagon to a warehouse, which, as he had inquired with the merchant who had entrusted him, was where the wealthy merchants of the city received a large number of goods, but the prices would be kept a little lower, so that they could have a certain monopoly on certain goods that needed to be sold in time.

"The linen gives you three dinars each, and the wool is worth seven dinars in total, and the crockpot is of good quality, and you can give you five and a half dinars in total, and twenty-one and a half dinars in total, so keep it."

The well-dressed merchant, after counting the goods, gave Byron two large silver coins of ten dinars, and put two large bags of dry bread and a bag of jerky in the wagon for one and a half dinars, enough for five men for a week.

Although the value of the goods was far less than Byron had imagined, he was relieved that the dinar had sufficient purchasing power. He inquired and found that in the Parabun area a cow was worth no more than twenty dinars, a traveling horse was no more than thirty dinars, and a recruit was paid no more than one dinar a week. Byron now had a hundred dinars in cash, and could already buy a small shack in a modest part of the city.

After selling the goods, Byron looked at the equipment on his body. It's okay to see in the city, but if you go out of the city and fight with robbers, I'm afraid it won't be able to protect you. At this time, he could buy some equipment.

The continent of Calradia is plagued by wars, and the military industry has always been very prosperous, with blacksmiths making even more weapons than farm tools. For guests who want to buy weapons, these merchants are naturally very welcome, even if the other party's origin is unknown or has a lot of black history. As long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

Byron looked around, but was disappointed. The weapons merchant recommended him some weapons for self-defense, which were not much different from the sword on his body. At this time, the system introduced a new interface for him, which allowed him to see the general stats of these weapons.

[Curved Short Sword: Piercing: Grade 1.5; Cutting: Grade 2; Length: 70 cm; Merchant's Offer: 5 Dinars;]

[Rusty Germanic Sword: Piercing: Level 2; Cut: 2 grades; Length: 95 cm; Merchant's offer: 8 dinars; 】

.....

The attribute mark is not as accurate as the one in the game, but it is also a restoration of reality. However, Byron found that there was no critical weight mark on this attribute, which meant that he had to try and find out how suitable a weapon was.

The Arms Merchant recommended some weapons, but Byron still didn't like it. But when the boss brought in a cold, very good weapon, Byron was taken aback by the price.

A two-handed sword with the prefix of "superb", the piercing and cutting are more than level 6, it is a customized product of the nobles of the kingdom, it takes more than a year to create one, and the price has soared to 1,200 dinars, of course, Byron can only politely refuse.

However, when Byron saw the arms merchant turn around, a trace of disdain and pride flashed on his face, as if he had deliberately brought it to Byron to show him the world. Although dissatisfied, Byron still had to admit that the other party had succeeded.

In the end, Byron chose a Germanic sword that looked fairly sharp, and a relatively strong leather round shield, and bargained for 20 dinars. As for the armor, it's a bit of a hassle. Because the ordinary leather armor is not as good as the thickened leather coat he wears, and the chain mail chain mail is too expensive, it can easily cost a hundred or ten yuan. As for the plate armor... Don't think about it, and that two-handed sword, it's all aristocratic supplies. And knights who are armed with equipment of this level and ride expensive war horses all over their bodies, there are not many in the whole of Svadia.

"Well, this is medieval life, a piece of equipment for nobles and knights is worth the income of the poor people without eating or drinking for half a lifetime."

Byron laughed at himself helplessly, and left the street with his newly purchased weapon shield. He's going to make a trip to the tavern to see if he can find a suitable helper.
