Chapter 105: Protective Gear

Diego went straight to the old town. Coke has been updated with an updated finaleIn the eyes of outsiders who are visiting Stormwind for the first time, the bustling and lively trade area is the first choice for shopping. But for Stormwind locals, Old Town is the place to go. The goods here are cheap and of good quality, except that they are not flashy and dazzling, and they are no different from those in the trade area. In comparison, things in the trade area are too expensive, especially auction houses, and they dare to fetch a sky-high price after a little enchanted equipment.

Crossing the canal between the trade area and the Old Town, Diego and his party arrived in the Old Town. To be honest, compared to other new districts, the old town looks dilapidated, and even the streets are cramped and narrow, cramped and dark. Due to the low terrain, the sewage cannot be discharged into the canal, so it has to flow freely in the streets. On both sides of the street, you can even see smelly feces and drunken vomit.

Diego was no stranger to the place, and he found the place with ease. The sign of this shop pù looks as old as the house here. The square sign hung horizontally with a leather helmet carved into it. Underneath the pattern, it is written in the classical lingua franca script - Protective Leather Armor.

It's a fairly spacious shop, at least in the Old Town. When you walk into the store, you can see rows of wooden supports in the store. There are various pieces of leather armor hanging on it. The smell of freshly tanned leather fills the entire store. To the right of the shop, there is a wide wooden counter. Heeman? Griffith was standing behind the counter. Seeing the guests coming, he hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"How can I help?" He greeted familiarly, and although he was slightly surprised when he saw Van Golei's cunzài, he still warmly beckoned everyone to go inside.

"We'll need a few pieces of leather armor, take your best ones." Diego said politely. As a master of leather, Diego has been here countless times in his previous life, and he has learned several leather-making patterns here.

He walked around the shelves and found that they were filled with large goods made of medium and heavy leather. This disappointed him a little.

"Sheomman. Your hard carapace is good, don't bluff people with these heavy leather things. Diego grumbled dissatisfied.

"Yo, I'm still an expert." Theoman said with some surprise, but he wasn't afraid of this. While the insiders won't let you earn much, they won't let you lose money either. He shouted to the inside, "Orinsa, take the goods at the bottom of the box out, you meet an insider, you want the best." ”

There was a sound of things churning in the back room. A few minutes later, a young girl dressed in blue came out of the room, carrying several pieces of leather armor. She's She's Ooman's daughter, Orinsa? Griffith, the whole Old Town is known for its good girls.

She walked up, threw her leather armor on the counter, turned and walked out. Masrae didn't even look at him, and he couldn't even move his eyes. This kind of pervert, she has seen it a lot, and she has long been surprised.

"It's for the best." Theoman lifted one of the leather armors and shook the dust off it. Diego saw the heavy nail armor. A large copper nail cap is densely nailed on top of the double thick leather, which can improve the defense of leather armor on a large extent, which is already good in ordinary leather armor.

Diego flipped through the rummags and found that the leather armor was made of thick leather, not a single hard one.

"Isn't there anything better?" He asked, frowning.

"That's all, this is the last batch of thick-skinned goods." Sioman sighed and complained helplessly, he lowered his voice and leaned closer to say, "The Brotherhood of Defia has been making a lot of trouble lately. Even the Jerrod Wharf was occupied by them, and the leather goods from the Valley of Thorns could not even fall to the ground. I'm running out of skin here. ”

"It's going to get better, didn't you see that Onexia was driven away?" Diego comforted him, but he hadn't said that his gang would have to solve the problem in a few days, even if he did. Sheoman will not take one of their eldest sons less.

"Alright, take two sets of nail armor," Diego said finally, turning his head and glancing at Masrae. The Night Elves' leather armor had worn out after so much use. Not to mention the broken edges, there are still holes in some places, and they look very poor and sour, no wonder Orinza doesn't take a look at him, "Give him another set of three-layer reinforced leather armor." ”

Coming out of the protective leather armor, several people had a new look on their bodies. The tattered pieces that were originally worn on the body have been sold to Xioman at a discount, and the skin on these old leather armors can be dismantled and cut off, and used in other parts of the leather armor that need to be thickened, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

To be honest, Diego was very reluctant to buy this kind of finished leather armor. Because for a master of Delaenor leather making like him, making zuò leather or chain mail was never a problem, and the craftsmanship was more than twice as good as these ordinary goods. But the problem is that he doesn't have good leather on hand right now. Some time ago, in the great battle with Onexia in the palace, although he finally got the dragon scales that fell from Onexia, all the scales peeled off the dragons were returned to the father, and he didn't get any of them.

When it comes to Azeroth's leather-making materials, the best ones are dragon skins and molten dog skins. A good tanner can make the most of the characteristics of these demonized leathers, and keep certain abilities of these magical creatures alive on the leather armor, so that the wearers of these armors have far more agility than ordinary people.

The next is the hard carapace from the scale skin of the dragonman and the shell of the xenomorph. This hard carapace is also found in only a few places in Azeroth. For example, some of the saber-toothed tigers and blood-seeking bats with ancient bloodlines in the Southern Thorn Valley are famous. In the distant continent of Kalimdor, there are also some beasts whose skins are very rare, such as the Tyrannosaurus skin from Angolo Crater and the Frostblade Leopard skin from Winterspring Valley are famous for their fineness.

Again, it is the fur of ordinary beasts, such as velociraptors, cheetahs, wild boars, giant scorpions, etc., most of the thick skins peeled off the bodies of these beasts can only provide some basic protection, but they cannot help more, unless expensive materials such as rune wires and iron web spider silk can be used to make them have special abilities, but that would be a bit wasteful.

As for those domesticated cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and other domestic animals, the skin they peel off can only be used for mass production of large-scale goods, and is generally only used to equip militia or caravan guards. At most, add a little psychological comfort.

However, Diego has made up his mind to make his own set of armor, and the set of nail armor he is wearing now is just a transition, and when he has a good leather, this one will undoubtedly be replaced. You don't have to think too much about it. And for him now, the food of Asnar in the leather armor can basically provide enough protection, and if the limbs have to wear chain mail, it will affect the speed of action. You know, agile is for hunters. is very important.

They walked down the alley and soon came to the door of a weapons shop. This is a shop called Loyal Blade, pù, which has been around for a long time. In fact, most of the shops in the old town are old shops, and some of them were opened before the first orc war, so they also pay more attention to the reputation of time-honored brands, and rarely steal customers.

The goods in this weapon shop are all made in its own workshop, and most of them are swords, but there are also some long-handled weapons such as broad-edged spears, but there are very few tomahawk and hammer weapons.

Photo boss Henrik? Stone's statement. "The kind of unscrupulous profiteer who melts an iron lump and says that it is a war hammer is simply a disgrace to the blacksmith industry!"

"What weapon do you want?" Diego asked. The shelves, walls, and counters here are full of sword weapons, and the cold light is flickering and dazzling. There are long swords, knight swords, two-handed swords, broadswords, armor-piercing swords, short swords, thin swords, serpentine swords, giant swords, scimitars, ......, there are no less than dozens, if you are not a person who has a deep understanding of these weapons, it is easy to pick and choose, buy a one that is not suitable for you to go back, and then regret it for half a lifetime.

The gnoll man in front of this ...... was obviously like this, he had never seen so many swords in his life. Not to mention the difference between them.

Just then, the boss Henrik came up. He was a brown-haired human, with a typical blacksmith's muscular build, and many red-hot iron filings burned from the skin of his arms.

"Is it for this Mr. Gnoll to pick up a weapon?" He asked enthusiastically.

"Yes. What good do you have? "Diego knows, Henrik? Stone is also a good hand with swords, because if you don't know how to swordsmanship, how do you know what to forge a sword into? How to adjust the center of gravity of the sword, how to increase or decrease the counterweight?

"Mr. Gnoll, please stretch out the hand you like to hold your sword." Henrik wasn't polite either. Say it directly.

Van Goray stretched out his right hand somewhat inexplicably and handed it to Henrik, who watched it carefully.

"Obviously, you don't have any swordsmanship training, because it can be seen from the distribution and thickness of the calluses on your palm that you hold the hilt of the sword tightly by holding the hoe, but in fact, those swordsmanship masters never hold the sword with a full grip, but hold the sword with a limited number of parts of the palm, so that you can control the flexibility of the sword body, and you can also control it so that it will not fall off." Henrik carefully analyzed.

He looked up from Van Gore's fluffy claws and looked at a scimitar hanging from the wall, a one-handed knife that resembled a pirate scimitar, about a meter long.

"If you use a sword, then you have to know at least a little swordsmanship, know how to chop and stab, how to break and block, and this kind of scimitar is not used, it is more suitable for chopping and chopping, as long as you practice a little, you can use it, although you may not be proficient, but at least you can make a decent appearance." He explained it in detail, but it was the first time Diego and his party had heard of these truths, and they were all a little fascinated by what they heard.

"That's right, I'll choose it." The gnoll man had already been fooled and fainted, and said with joy.

"It's a good cutlass and suits him well, but I don't think that's what Van Goghray needs most." Looking at the gnoll who was wielding a scimitar and playing happily, Masrae said suddenly.

"You see that, too?" Diego asked with some surprise, he had already sensed the problem. The difference in combat effectiveness between Van Golei and the two of them is very large, in fact, even half of Guan Haifa's is not comparable. So, when they entered the battle, Van Goray couldn't help at all by his side, and sometimes, Diego had to be distracted and taken care of, like a burden.

"He needs a shield." Masrae replied, "That would at least give this guy a little more self-preservation." ”

"I think you're right." Diego agreed.

To tell the truth, since the base camp of the Stormwind City Defense Force is at the southernmost point of the Old Town, the arms business here is very prosperous, and this street is full of shops selling weapons and equipment, and they didn't have to go far to see the silver shield that sells shields.

This time, they chose an oak shield for the Jackal. It is made of oak and covered with a thin iron sheet, and the outermost layer is wrapped in a layer of cowhide. The weight was just right for Van Gore—even the heavier steel shield, it would be difficult for him to dance.

Note: When a druid transforms, the clothes and armor they wear (usually vegetative cloth and animal leather armor) will also be activated and deformed, sticking to the outside of the animal skin like a second skin, but metal cannot do this, which is why druids rarely use metal armor and weapons.
