Chapter 184: The Leather Workshop

Diego looked down and saw a young goblin in a cobbler's apron standing in front of him, probably up to his waist. Truth be told, Diego really had a hard time picking this dim green dwarf creature out of this dim environment. He wore a ponytail, his face looked clean, and there was no mess like nose rings or earrings - that were goblins' favorites, exaggerated enough to put more than a dozen eyes on their big ears, and he didn't have a beard, in fact, you rarely saw goblins with long beards, even with memories of his past life, Diego hadn't seen a few.

"We have to make two sets of leather armor, and we will make the skins, but we have to be the best craftsmen to do them." Diego said, looking at the finished leather armor on the shelves, "But before you can do that, you must prove that your craftsmanship is the best in the entire Treasure Bay. ”

The goblin hesitated, he couldn't make a lot of money by manual fees alone. To be honest, he didn't want to do this kind of contract processing business, but when he turned the lantern next to him brighter, he noticed that the leather armor worn by the two adventurers was already good, and if he wanted to change his equipment, he would definitely need to change it to a better one. In a flash of thought, he knew that a big business was coming.

Because for some good raw materials, it is not just a simple processing of incoming materials, to make them into sophisticated equipment, it is often necessary to use some special materials, such as rune threads, immortal essences, special dyes, etc., and some even use rare materials such as dragon scales and iron web spider silk. There's too much oil and water in it.

"Cheek, bring me your best work, these two guests want to see your craftsmanship first." Brickretz? Gusti shouted at the inside of the workshop, and he turned back and said with a proud face, "My brother, Chiksdi? Gusti, I dare say, there is no better tanner in the whole Booty Bay than his craft. ”

With a clanging sound of things tipping over, an angry cry came from the backyard: "Damn it. Brick, you've ruined my masterpiece! ”

A few seconds later, the curtain to the backyard was slammed open, and an enraged goblin burst out of it. He wielded a flat-headed cutter for cutting skin. It looks like he's going to cut his brother in half.

But Brickrez was very calm, and he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and he seemed to be used to it.

"Brick, you pay for my Tyrannosaurus Leather Gloves! I spent hundreds of gold coins to buy two palm-sized Demon Tyrannosaurus skins, just because of your shouting. I went down with a knife and cut it bad! Cheeks shouted in pain, grabbing his brother by the collar and not letting go, regardless of whether anyone else was present or not, "You know what? How many years has it been since the Angolo crater spotted the Tyrannosaurus? I'm willing to bet the Marshallese expedition will be the last one! ”

The goblin didn't look like his brother was shrewd at all, more like a research-obsessed technomaniacs. He has a fluffy cockscomb head, and his nose, ears, and almost every place that can be pierced are strung with shiny rings, which is very punk. His cobbler's apron was covered with traces of maintenance oils and dyes, and there was a pungent smell all over his body.

"Alright. Forget your Tyrannosaurus skin, Cheek, we've got big business coming to your door, and I bet their materials will blow your mind. Brikrez persuaded, turning his head and winking at Diego.

"Uh, this, yes, we've got a good skin." Diego said cooperatively—as if he had just discovered their stockpile, and let go of his hand a little shyly—the hunter looked around at the finished leather armor. He said with some regret, "But I found that your craftsmanship is also very average, and maybe it is not a good choice for you to do it." ”

Cheeks snorted disapprovingly, but did not speak. On the contrary, his brother Brikretz spoke a little awkwardly.

"I made all of them, and Cheek's work is in the backyard."

"Oh?" Diego said with interest, "Can you take a tour?" ”

"Of course, as you wish." Brickrez said quickly, he pushed his puffed brother, and the two of them led the way to the backyard.

Walk through a short aisle. The group came to a small courtyard, which was similar to a workshop, and all kinds of materials and tools were thrown on the ground, and there was nowhere to put their feet.

In a place like Hidden Treasure Bay, where every inch of land is valuable, there is such a small courtyard, which is very rare, and it can be seen from this side that the leather craftsmanship of the Gusti brothers is definitely above the level, otherwise, the business would not be so good.

Brickrez pulled the ground open with a few moments, revealing a few low stools pressed underneath, and invited a few guests to sit down.

"Cheek, bring out your best work and show it to the guests." He said confidently.

"No, just take the Tyrannosaurus leather gloves you were making just now." Diego said seemingly casually, in fact, the semi-finished product can show the level of a cobbler. Moreover, he was also curious about how Cheeks cut the skin of the Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus, you know, the Tyrannosaurus skin is notoriously tough, it is difficult to cut through the skin with a general leather cutter, and most cobblers use shark tooth saws to cut it little by little.

The half-finished piece was on a table not far away, and Cheeks quickly took it. Diego took it, taking a closer look at the workmanship of the gloves. It is said that it is a glove, but it is actually two pieces of a glove, which have not yet been sewn up. The Tyrannosaurus skin was used on the back of the hand, and the palm of the hand was an ordinary hard armor leather, and it was specially frosted, which was very soft and conducive to holding the weapon.

In fact, the Tyrannosaurus skin wasn't cut, it was just pulled out of a shallow mark at the edge, but in the eyes of a perfectionist like Chicksdi, it was enough to call it an intolerable flaw.

Diego brought the Tyrannosaurus skin to his nose and sniffed it, it smelled faintly of sea.

"The essence of water?"

"Yes," said Chicksdi, a little surprised, realizing that the man in front of him was obviously an expert too, so he took some time to explain it very exceptionally, which was not his style - he had always been very disdainful of wasting his tongue on the layman, and he liked to buy it or not, "I soaked it in the essence of water for half a month to make it easier to process, and when the essence of water was fully evaporated, it was restored to its original strength." ”

"It's a genius idea that using a shark tooth saw will make the edges of the leather wear and fluff, and the cut lines will not be so soft." Diego exclaimed. Although he had many recipes in his mind that were ahead of his time, he was still amazed by the many geniuses of the natives of Azeroth.

"But as far as I know, the essence of water alone doesn't make it so weak and easy to cut," Diego said puzzled, while Cheeksdi looked at him with a smile, and after a dozen seconds, Diego suddenly patted his head, "Can I see your cutter?" ”

It took a lot of effort for Cheeks to resist the urge to applaud, knowing that it was very rare for a brilliant technician to meet a customer who could understand his own thoughts. He happily pulled out the cutter from the tool belt on his belt and handed it over.

Diego took the knife in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was a flat-headed cutter with a long handle ending in a thumb-sized blade, and Diego noticed a faint red glow on the blade, apparently with some kind of magic effect on it.

"Slaughter the beast, I asked someone to attach this magic to it, which can make it easier to cut through the skin." Chicksdi explained.

Diego was another compliment. Truth be told, for technicians to enchant their tools, only the craziest technomanacs would do that. Keep in mind that this enchantment often costs thousands of gold coins, and you may not be able to get your hands on rare materials that require this enchantment effect in your lifetime.

"It seems that we have found a tanner who can handle this roll of leather." Diego got up from the stool, took the roll of skin that had been peeled off the lizard, and placed it on the table. The Goblin Brothers didn't make a fuss about his Demon Cloth Bag, and it seems that they have not seen this kind of space bag uncommonly.

Several people spread out the hides.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Chiksdi gently stroked the golden hide, and almost his entire body was about to pounce. But after a few seconds, when he noticed the bullet holes in the hide, he froze. A few seconds later, a deafening roar rang out in the courtyard.

"Which dog ~ mother ~ raised this to do it! What a skin is ruined like this! ”

"Uh, this ......"

After that, almost no one could communicate properly with the near-crazy goblin cobbler, not even his brother. After measuring their sizes, Diego and Masrae were blasted out of the workshop by the rampaging Chicksdy. However, Diego did not think it was wrong, because the higher the level, the greater the temper, which is a common rule among the technicians of that plane.

"I'm sorry that Chicksdi went crazy like that, but in three days' time, you'll definitely see two sets of leather armor that will please you, I promise!" Brickrez swore by it.

Diego and Masrae looked at each other, but they had no choice but to walk to the Mariner's House Hotel, to be honest, the Gusti brothers' trip to the tanning workshop was quite smooth, except for Chicksdi's last madness, the goblins were still very easy to deal with when they were merchants. But Guan Haifa didn't think so, and it always felt that the two goblins looked at him as if they were wondering how to peel off their own skin, which made it extremely unhappy.

The group wandered back to the hotel. But as soon as they entered, they heard an exaggerated shout:

"Aha, my friends, you're finally back, and I'm saying I'm going to go out to find you."

Diego looked down the hall and saw the captain of the guards, Goblin Kratz, sitting at the bar, looking at them with a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
