Chapter 4: Snake Teeth and Suits
The wine glasses collided with each other, and the pungent bad wine spilled all over the table.
The big men drank to their heart's content, bragging and boasting, showing off their recent gains unscrupulously.
Sox made his way through the crowd, skilfully dodging the dancing girls' oil and finally sat down on the barstool.
"What's the drink, unfamiliar guest?"
The middle-aged bartender, wearing a one-eyed mask, took out a brand new shaker from under the table and quickly and skillfully set up a cup and coaster on the bar.
Sox smiled and said, "Man, I'm here to see your high-end goods at the White Horse Tavern. β
The bartender paused and said with a smile: "If you want to see high-end goods, you can get a money certificate." β
Sox didn't speak, throwing out a gold coin.
The bartender reached out and smiled with satisfaction, bringing over a glass of purple agate-like cocktail.
"I'll ask for this cup. Bloody Thor, the base wine is Tepra, definitely strong enough for my friend, representing the same enthusiasm as ever at our White Horse Tavern. β
Sox raised his glass and drank it down, feeling the heat along the way, grinning.
Follow the bartender into a passage behind the wine cabinet, only to find that there is a cave.
In this hall, there is no noise outside, there are all kinds of guns and weapons on the walls, the appearance is dazzling, it looks vigorous, and some glass cases have some first- and second-order prohibited medicines, including some military equipment.
There are also a lot of customers here, about 30 people, all of whom are choosing equipment, and there are 10 service desks dedicated to consulting and collecting money.
Sox's family is superior, and he knows about guns, so he has also looked up this knowledge in the past few days, and directly ignored some bluffing homemade firearms hanging on the wall.
However, Sox was not too disappointed, after all, the White Horse Tavern is a private weapons shop, and high-end goods are not so easy to obtain, and most of them can only be sold in weapons shops with formal licenses issued by the Federation.
Sox walked over to a counter behind which sat an old man with gray hair, who was wiping down the parts of his firearm, as if he hadn't noticed Sox.
Sox knocked on the countertop.
The old man looked like he was ignoring it: "Everything is placed there, there is a price on it, see for yourself." β
Sox is happy, and there is still such a business?
"Take some really good stuff out and take a look, and don't fool me with this rag." Sox said a little lazily.
The old man finally glanced at Lin Ze from above his glasses, and his tone was very calm: "What type do you want, muskets, swords, or other genetic potions or auxiliary equipment?" β
"I want a firearm and a set of auxiliary combat equipment! Forehead.. It should be suitable for those with first-order abilities. β
"Snort."
The old man laughed and said, "It turned out to be a first-order hairy boy." β
He pressed the button on the table, and a black curtain wall suddenly rose around the area to cover the area, then he got up and rummaged through the back of the closet, and took out two things: "If you're lucky, I really have two things for you." β
Syllable!
The old man directly threw a sniper rifle full of oil and rust on the table: "Sixty percent of the new snake teeth, a union mercenary got it back from the corpse of the federal army, this kind of army-standard long-range sniper rifle, sixty percent of the new is just right to use, I see that your kid's physical fitness is top among the first-order abilities, and it can also withstand the reaction force of this gun." β
Put a Force Crystal into the energy conversion slot of the gun body, the black and heavy body of the gun did not even reflect the light, but Sox could feel that the arrays in the energy compression chamber were lighting up in turn, and only when he was facing the muzzle of the gun could he see that the barrel contained a ball of green light, and no light leaked out, this was a murder weapon!
Sox nodded in satisfaction, and saw that the old man had brought out something else.
In his hands, it was pitch black...... Suit?
Its fabric looks to be sewn from leather, the way the leather is tanned is rough and wild, not only has the marks not been removed, but even some of the scales have been retained, and the dark red scales on the jet-black leather protect the left shoulder and forearm, and there is a beastly atmosphere.
The rough cutting and sewing like a classmate made it into a suit, and the brutality of the beast was forcibly distorted into a well-dressed gentlemanly demeanor, but it did not look amiable, but more and more hideous.
It's not so much a suit as an alternative piece of leather armor. Every corner has been carefully crafted to give functionality, even the cuffs are filled with hidden weapons and slots, and the belt has left their place for various murder weapons.
Fortunately, there are many mercenaries and bounty hunters in this world, and even if you wear it during the day, it won't look too unusual.
"What is this?" Sox couldn't help but ask.
"The work of an old acquaintance can only be regarded as a half-finished product, because he himself died in the wild last month." The old man shook the clothes in his hands.
"The old guy gave it a nameβthe suit of the man in black."
He showed Sox the dress, his eyebrows fluttering: "The outer leather is tanned with second-order earth dragon leather, and the inner lining is made of spider silk cloth of white oil spiders, and the strength is absolutely not enough, enough to cope with the piercing of ordinary steel knives." Not only fire and heat insulation, cold resistance and warmth, but also strong acid corrosion is not necessarily helpless. β
He handed the "man in black's suit" to Sox and said, "Try it on?" β
Entering the pitch-black suit, Sox hesitated, took off his coat, and put this suit full of strange beastliness on his body.
Just right, except for the sleeves that are a little shorter, the other parts make Sox feel like a tailor-made fit!
When he closed the inner zipper and buttoned the outer buttons one by one, he suddenly felt a soft sound from his back, and his body sank.
Click, click!
In the inner lining of his back, there were pieces of cold iron that protruded forward as the lining contracted, and finally clinged to his spine and stitched tightly. Immediately after that, the forearm, waist, and joints all came with the same touch, and something was attached to their body.
"Exoskeleton?" Sox asked, somewhat uncertain.
The old man smiled mysteriously: "Have you heard of the Daredevil armor of the Special Operations Department on St. George's Island?" β
"Won't it?" Sox exclaimed in disbelief.
The Daredevil armor is the standard equipment of the Daredevil knights in the Federation of Six Kingdoms, and those ferocious pirates and monsters from another dimension can pile up several mountains every year in front of those knights wearing Daredevil armor.
"Hahaha, the Daredevil armor has a magic energy matrix, and the structural drawings are top secret technology, how could my old friend get it."
"He's just borrowed some ideas, and you can use this as a Daredevil armor that has been weakened dozens of times."
Nima ......
Sox raised his two arms and slammed it, saying, "This is a hundred times weakened!" β
The old man said indifferently: "Then do you buy it or not?" β
Sox turned his head to look at the mirror on the right, where the young man was tall in a black suit.
He grinned, and suddenly became evil.
Well, it's still pretty good to look at.
"How much is the sniper rifle and the suit of the man in black?" Sox asked.
"Sixty percent of the new snake teeth count you 400 gold coins, and the suit of the man in black is 800 gold coins, a total of 1,200 gold coins." The old man quoted the price very quickly.
A federal official on Xiangji Island has an annual income of only 30 gold coins, and Sox spent 40 years of other people's salary on this trip today......
But the harvest made him very satisfied, with this thing, it was difficult for a first-order capable person to threaten his existence.
And while it's still early, the Adventurers' Guild shouldn't be closed yet, Sox wants to go to the Adventurers' Guild by the way, register as a bounty hunter, and recently go out to practice.
