Xia Di looked at the old man in front of him with scrutinizing eyes.

"This old gentleman, may I ask...... What is your name? ”

"Furdoman. Why, you didn't know that you came to me? ”

Furdoman?

Xia Di thought back to his memory, but he didn't have any impression.

At least there is no one with this name among the NPC forgers above the expert level that he knows.

However, if what the old man said was true, Xia Di had a bold idea.

"Old man, you said that if you want to forge a weapon, you must pay in a lump sum?"

"Nonsense. I'm not going to fall for you cunning Far Easterners anymore. Verdoman glanced at Xia Di.

"But, what if you take money and don't make weapons as agreed?"

"You're still afraid that I'll break the contract!" Furdoman said in a cold tone, obviously angry, "I, Ferdoman have been doing business for thirty years, and I have not deceived any customers, if you don't believe me, you can find someone else to do it!" ”

This temper is quite like that of a master.

Xia Di thought.

"That'...... Well, how much does it cost to build a whip-type weapon? ”

"Whip? It depends on how long you want it to be, and the type must also be clearly explained, otherwise it is not my responsibility to make trouble at that time. Verdoman said impatiently.

"Oh, I'm going to build a weapon from the Far East, I'm afraid you haven't seen it. I'll draw you a picture. Xia Di took out the drawing paper and pen from the package and drew it with ease.

Although he has not learned the skills of blacksmithing, he still has some basic sketching.

After drawing the body of the weapon and the internal structure on the paper, he handed the paper to Verdoman.

Verdoman glanced at it, visibly stunned, and he roared in an enraged tone: "Stinky boy, where is this tmd whip!?" ”

Furdoman was rarely so angry, he had no doubt that he was being teased by Xia Di, and on the drawing paper in his hand was a long weapon with a handle, a gauntlet and four edges, shaped like a sword, although Furdoman didn't recognize what kind of weapon it was, but at least he was sure that it had nothing to do with the whip!

"It's a whip." Xia Di said innocently, realizing Furdoman's angry expression, and hurriedly added:

"Well, you probably don't know, but this weapon is called a hammer, and it belongs to the category of hard whips in our case."

Xia Di patiently explained, "What I want is not the kind you sell on your shelves, it's a soft whip weapon. ”

"Hard whip? Soft whip? "Furdoman was at a loss.

"Uh, it's hard to understand." Xia Di didn't know how he was going to explain the classification of weapons in the Celestial Empire to this old man, so he could only say, "The whip you sell here belongs to the soft whip type of weapon, and the gong I drew on the picture belongs to the hard whip class. ”

"Not at all!" "Weapon one is one, and two is two, and if you people from the Far East really divide it like this, I can only say that there must be something wrong with the head of the person who made this classification!" ”

"......" Xia Di was speechless for a while.

He opened his mouth to refute something, but finally chose to give up.

Anyway, he is not a master blacksmith, and arguing with the other party in this regard is purely for nothing, so he gave up the explanation and asked directly: "Can you make this?" ”

"Of course." Verdoman touched his short beard, "At least there's nothing wrong with restoring the structure." ”

"Great, then the price ......"

"Wait, boy, you haven't said anything yet." Furdoman interrupted Xia Di's words, "If you need any rare materials, I don't have them here, you must provide them to me, of course, if you only need common metal materials, I can provide them, but the price will go up." ”

"What about the material...... Xia Di thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, it's best to use meteoric iron, no, just use ordinary iron ore." ”

Meteorite is a material in the middle of the game because of the player's vigorous search, the output has been guaranteed, and it is one of the commonly used materials for forging, but Xia Di has almost never seen a weapon made of meteorite in this world, which shows that this kind of material has a certain rarity, the other party has not said first, the so-called rare is expensive, with Xia Di's current money, he really can't afford it.

"Okay." Verdoman nodded, "Any other requirements?" For example, the length, as well as the pattern of the weapon, you must know that after the weapon is forged, it is not easy to reprocess, so it is best to explain it in advance. ”

"So be it, I'll write it on paper." Xia Di retrieved the drawing, thought for a while, and repeated it while writing, "Because what I want is a long mace, the length of the weapon must not be less than one meter, and the tip of the mace should be sharp, which can be used to pierce the enemy's armor." Pattern...... Whatever you want, as long as you don't reduce the strength of your weapon. ”

After Xia Di finished writing, he handed the drawing to Verdoman again and asked, "How much does this cost?" ”

"Hmm." Verdoman touched his chin, "The forging fee plus the material fee is two gold coins, and if you can provide iron ore, you will only be charged one gold coin plus fifty silver coins." Which do you choose? ”

"Hmm......" Xia Di hesitated, to be honest, the price offered by the old man was so-so, not expensive, but Xia Di had almost no money now, so he wanted to choose the latter, but he considered that he could not find a mine to dig immediately like in the previous world, so he thought for a few seconds and had to take out his money bag.

"Here, these are two gold coins." Xia Di took out a pile of silver coins and put them on the counter.

“…… That's a lot of change, boy. Verdoman glanced at the silver coins, and instead of counting whether there were two gold coins combined, he turned his gaze back to the drawing.

"Construction starts tomorrow, you can come and get it the day after tomorrow." Furdoman stared at the drawings he had taken from Xia Di and was in no hurry to collect the money.

Xia Di looked at such a scene, suddenly remembered something, and accosted: "Mr. Furdoman." ”

"It's good to call Furdoman." Verdoman said coldly.

"All right, Furdoman ." Xia Di said in a familiar tone, "I'm confused, why is your business bad here?" ”

In Xia Di's opinion, if he had the ability to make so many oriental weapons, Furdoman's forging level was definitely not bad, and if it was exactly as he guessed, he would even be a rare expert-level forging master in the world.

How could such a blacksmith not sell a weapon?

Service attitude...... Although it is indeed quite problematic, but the weapon is necessary to go out to save life and kill, and there should be many adventurers who ignore this reason and come to buy it. The price is not expensive.

Xia Di thought while looking at the price tag on the counter.

"You're here to find fault?" Furdoman replied angrily, "You see my face and ask this question?" ”

"Face?"

Xia Di looked at the angry old man and suddenly realized.

Verdoman is not British!

His skin was darker, and his facial features were more angular than those of the Britons, which was clearly characteristic of the Germanic people.

"My hometown is in the mainland, and this store just opened last year, and before that, I had traveled around the mainland from all over the world." "I'm too old to walk, so I want to find a place to settle down and do business quietly and enjoy my old age...... As a result, I came to Britain, and I thought that Britons were easy to talk to...... Hum. ”

That is, I was excluded.

Although it is not very feeling, if you think about it, the Britons did have a hatred towards the Germanic people.

This is not just against the invaders or a tribe, but against an entire people.

"Then why did you choose not to come to Britain?" Xia Di asked confusedly.

"Where can you go without going to Britain? The Roman Empire didn't take in barbarians like me, and I didn't like the Visigothic system very much, and as for the tribes, hmph, whoever goes back there will be unlucky. ”

Furdoman sighed, "It's stupid to not even have a few iron mines, and to sell raw materials to foreigners for daily necessities, where I'm not much different from being unemployed, and I'm very lucky to have an order a month." Alas, I really don't want to mention it. (To be continued......)
