Chapter 48 Collecting Protection Money
"Good thing," exclaimed the commandment with the scroll identification, "it's the Adamantite Sword, the Adamantite Shield, and the Mithril Shirt!" Your mistress is so generous. ”
“…… I know it without identification! ”
"Then you're still calling me for identification?" Commandment asked innocently.
“…… You mean these are just pure Adamantite Swords, Adamantite Shields, and Mithril Shirts? Isn't there any added magic? I asked.
"Nope! But even if you don't have any magic attached, the Adamantite and Mithril products are very good~"
“…… Good, good......"
Adamantite weapons are as powerful as +2 magic weapons, and unlike magic weapons, abilities do not fail even in areas where magic cannot be effective, the texture is harder and less easily damaged, and the price is more expensive, this Adamantite longsword is trading for more than 1000 gold coins in the market than the +1 blazing sword I use now.
The defensive ability of Adamantite armor is more than that of ordinary armor, and this Adamantite shield is more expensive than ordinary steel shields by 2000 gold coins, which is naturally extremely strong.
Mithril is not as valuable as Adamantite, and the Mithril Shirt is only 1,000 gold more expensive than a regular Chainmail Shirt, but the lightness of the Mithril Shirt is not only a favorite of thieves, but also allows the wearer to be almost unhindered when casting spells, minimizing the failure rate of casting, so it is also the best choice for priests to wear armor. And characters who do not have a "stoic" specialty get tired after sleeping in armor. In the game, the character's fatigue means a decrease in ability, and they can't run, and if it's a berserker, even their most important ability, "Berserk", can't be used in a state of fatigue, and this fatigue is different from the fatigue that can be recovered in a short time after the berserker's rage, and you must sleep for 8 hours without armor to recover. The Mithril Shirt is almost the only armor that does not fatigue after sleeping, and for warriors, changing into the Mithril Shirt before sleep can ensure that they will not get tired the next day, and if they are attacked while sleeping, it can also provide some defense without fighting enemies without armor.
The problem is, the Adamantite Longsword, while more expensive, usually doesn't deal as much damage as the +1 Blazing Sword I use now.
Although the Mithril Shirt allows the wearer not to get tired after sleeping, I am a Dark Elf, and the way to rest is to meditate rather than sleep, and the +1 Mithril Breastplate I am wearing has far more defense than the Mithril Shirt.
The Adamantite Shield is naturally better than the small steel shield I use, but I have never resisted hard when I attack with large and heavy defense, but unload, and the small steel shield used for ordinary sharp weapon attacks is enough to defend, so why use this harder but more expensive expensive item of two thousand times.
The mistress is indeed generous, and the things are good, but they are not what I want.
Thinking of this, I listlessly said to him, "Put the things here and do whatever you want." ”
"Huh, don't you need to?" Commandment asked in surprise.
Seeing me nodding, he calculated: "Brother Adamantite Long Sword already has one, and the price is too expensive, and not many players can afford it now, so put it in the store first; The Adamantite Shield Brother must want it very much; Although the Mithril shirt is the cheapest one, it is the most suitable for priests, and it is just right to use it for girls...... Hey~~~"
Hearing the admonition laughing lewdly on the side made me very unhappy: "You plan to use what I worked so hard to get to pick up girls in the game?" ”
He squinted his eyes and pouted and said, "You said that you will dispose of it with me~~~ What, do you want to regret it?" ”
"Of course not, since I said it, things will naturally be at your disposal," I said with a smile, patting the face of the meat with an iron glove, "It's just that I'm a little upset...... Did I tell you before about the privileges of the nobility? ”
He immediately laughed and said, "I just want to help my brother." ”
“…… Are you going to help your brother pick up a girl? ”
"Hey~~~ No, my brother is married, so you can't mess around. It's Yichen. ”
"Huh?"
"Hey~~~ Surprised, isn't it? Ancient stone mountains can be mined. "According to my intelligence, he often comes into contact with a female player, and I heard that she is a beautiful priest whose name seems to be ...... Eighty-seven or seven-eight what? ”
"That guy's father is in a high position, and he himself has a good position, there must be a lot of people who introduce him to beautiful women, but I haven't heard of him making any moves, I thought he was going to be a monk......" I asked suspiciously, "I don't want real beauties, how can I like to engage in online dating?" You didn't make it up to fool me, did you? ”
"What I said is true!"
"You can't even tell the heroine's name, how can I believe it?"
After thinking for a while, he shouted: "I remember, that pastor is called Eight Tears!" ”
"Bang!" There was a loud bang.
Turning his head, the door of the store was kicked open.
"We're here to collect protection money!" The man shouted haughtily.
Gangsters? Underworld?
I smiled and said, "It's your companion." ”
"Nonsense! Our house has been bleached......" shouted as he jumped to his feet.
"Alright, you can send them away first." I stopped the defense of the commandment.
"Hmph, what senior, push out the cute junior at this time." Whispering dissatisfied. Then he called out to the visitor, "Which family are you from?" Don't you know if this is the shop owned by the Gem Mercenary Group! ”
The other party retorted: "Nonsense! This is obviously a player-owned shop, don't think you can scare us with the name of an NPC! ”
He clasped his hands and despised the other party: "Hmph~~~ We are players, but the gem mercenary group of this shop also has a share." ”
The people looked at each other, and it took a long time for someone to stand up and say: "We don't care about players or NPCs, we will smash the store if we don't pay the protection fee!" ”
I turned around to face the gangsters, deliberately revealing the badge on my chest. The other party is just a group of commoners, and anyone with a little brain will know that the nobles can't afford to offend.
“…… Aristocrat? ”
Even if you have vision, don't go away quickly.
The people looked at me and whispered. "It can't be a player, right?" “…… The lonely nobleman...... I don't know what treasures are on my body...... ""You'll be in trouble if you get into trouble with the nobles, right?" "What can't be proven is that it never happened...... Kill all the people in the store, and there will be no proof of death! ”
Hey? Things seem to be going in strange directions.
