Chapter Forty-Seven: The Demon King and the Dragon Skin Processing
Griffin Chamber of Commerce, 3rd Floor, President's Office.
Beladonna stood in front of her desk, reporting to the middle-aged man sitting behind her desk.
It was a strong, black-haired man with a full beard, a thick wallet coat, and a distinct scar on his face, more like a veteran who had gone through vicissitudes than a businessman. And this middle-aged veteran is none other than Beladona's father, the president of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce: Gerd Griffin.
Gerd sat behind his desk, stroking the mustache on his chin and quietly listening to Belladonna's debriefing.
“…… First of all, he is my savior, and I should help him in all my senses. Secondly...... Thirdly, the green dragon has a lot of things on him, and he must have some things to sell, and we have naturally become his first priority...... Fifth, if we can help him with dragon skin, it will be a great piece of publicity. In addition, a dragon slayer brave wearing weapons and equipment made by our chamber of commerce is in itself a kind of propaganda for our chamber of commerce, which can improve the image of the chamber of commerce, gain more favors from adventurers, and help expand the influence of the chamber of commerce among adventurers. ”
Gerd: "...... Anything else? ”
"That's all I have to say at the moment." Beladonna had a proud smile on her face, "But any of these reasons are worth it." You say yes, right? Father. ”
The blonde lady lifted the hem of her skirt like a peacock, and saluted the middle-aged man proudly.
Looking at his slim daughter, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's resolute face: "...... You're right. Even if we help him process the dragon corpse for free, we won't lose money, and we can also expand the influence of the Chamber of Commerce through this incident. But have you considered another possibility? ”
Beladonna looked up at her father.
President: "For example, bring him to the Chamber of Commerce." ”
"This ...... Unlikely. With the strength of our chamber of commerce, it may be okay to cooperate with them, but if we want them to join our chamber of commerce, we don't have enough leverage. ”
"Not necessarily." Gerd had a meaningful smile on his face, "Where are our guests now?" ”
"Green should be with Master Chrom in the Workshop."
"Workshop?" Gerd stood up from his chair, "Let's go meet our guests." ”
In the backyard of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce, in the workshop, Green is observing the craftsmen's leather making process.
There are many processes involved in the production of leather, and it is not just a matter of removing the skin from the animal.
Sooner or later, if the fur is unprocessed, it will rot and stink. Therefore, after the fur is removed from the animal, it needs to be made into raw hides through a series of processes such as soaking, dehairing, liming, softening, and pickling. After that, the hides are tanned with tanning agents, and the real "leather" is produced.
Looking at the many steps and processes of the craftsmen, Green was glad for his previous decision.
"In this way, a set of leather armor has exploded just by the cost of handwork! Sure enough, it's still more cost-effective to 'plug-in processing'. ”
Processing items with chaos magic can be a curse, but it can save money. Compared with the cost of these complicated processes, the value of dozens of catties of barbecue can be almost negligible.
At that moment, Halfling Craftsman Krom poked his head out of an office in the workshop: "Mr. Green, the design sketches of the equipment have been made. ”
"Oh?" A hint of joy flashed on Green's face, and he hurriedly walked over, "Show me~"
Soon, Green walked into the office.
In the not-so-spacious office, a halfling craftsman and a human craftsman were surrounding the workbench, looking at the drawings on the workbench.
Seeing Green coming in, the halfling craftsman hurriedly beckoned to Green: "The sketch has been drawn, and the next thing is to see your opinion." ”
Green walked over to the workbench and looked at a few drawings on the workbench.
The text on the drawing was completely indecipherable, but at least he could tell that it was a set of equipment including leather armor, leather boots, gloves, helmets, shields, and bows and arrows.
Greene: "Can you explain that to me?" ”
"Okay." The halfling craftsman first pointed to the drawing drawing on the leather armor.
"This green dragon is too young, the scales on its body are too thin, and only a few scales on its back are suitable for making armor, so I designed a set of leather armor. Critical parts such as knees, shoulders, and wrists are used to strengthen defenses, while those small pieces of dragon scales can be used to make buttons......"
"This is my bow and arrow based on the legendary Poison Dragon Bow. With the dragon bone as the bow, the dragon tendon as the string, and the inlaid dragon crystal as the core, it is made into a poisonous dragon bow that can shoot acid poison arrows. The human craftsman pointed to another drawing and said to Green, "This is the best way to use the green dragon dragon crystal." ”
……
Green stood aside and listened carefully to the introductions of the two masters.
"Hmm...... Why can't bows and arrows be made into magic weapons, and leather armor and gloves can't just be made into magic equipment? ”
"The bow and arrow just use the characteristics of the dragon crystal itself. Once your weapons and armor are finished, you can always go to the Enchanter to help you enchant the enchantments you need to attach your home to them. The halfling craftsman paused, gesturing to some of the locations on the drawing, "I've already set aside all the space needed for the enchantment. This is the skin of a young dragon, and some useful two-ring spells can be attached to the dragon skin. ”
"Hmm......" Green stared at the drawings and thought for a moment, "how much would it cost if I commissioned you to do the processing?" ”
Hearing Green's words, a hint of joy appeared on the halfling craftsman's face: "The eldest lady has already instructed, you are a distinguished guest, so everything is free, so we will only charge you one gold coin for the material fee." After all, we also need to use a lot of materials and chemicals to process such a set of equipment. ”
Hearing the craftsman's words, Green's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.
One gold coin, what's the difference between this and free!? Green, who originally planned to use the Chaos Magic to process it himself, couldn't help but be moved.
"So...... I'll leave it to you. ”
"Leave it to us!" Halfling craftsmen are in high spirits.
The thought that he was about to process a set of dragon skin armor made the halfling craftsman couldn't help but get excited. If nothing else, that set of leather armor will become his future "master business card"! In the future, when others call themselves "masters", they will be able to straighten their waists.
The halfling craftsman was excited.
Just then, Griffin and his daughter walked into the workshop.
"Hello, I'm Gerd, Gerd Griffin. Thank you so much for saving my daughter from the dragon's mouth. Gerd, who looked very rough, beckoned to Green.
"Hello. I'm Green, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Looking at the big man in front of him who was full of bandits, Green couldn't help but glance at the beautiful blonde curls of the blonde lady, and then at the slightly gray black hair of the big man......
Suddenly, Green's eyes sharpened.
