016 Scouting the terrain

"Hmm~~~" Han Xue'er stretched her slender waist lazily, attracting frequent sideways glances from the Nord soldiers around her, they were very puzzled, how did such a slender little waist support such a plump bust peak?

"Eating and drinking, walking and bending, a great thing in life, unfortunately, without my little brother, a great joy of my life has left me......"

Han Xue'er, who came to the Karaouda continent to eat for the first time, patted her little belly that didn't rise, and glanced at her legs with some distress, without the tools to commit the crime, she couldn't experience the pleasure of galloping on the bed, which has always been cherished by Han Xue'er.

Of course, she can also choose an alternative bed experience, but with Han Xue'er's temperament, she won't do that if she is killed......

With Fatis buying it, Han Xue'er threw the hard black bread directly to his subordinates, asked them to store it as a backup food, and then picked up expensive food to eat and drink at the tavern keeper!

It's a pity that after Han Xue'er transformed, the amount of food obviously couldn't be compared with before, even if she had eaten hard, it was still not as much as her former self......

Han Xue'er looked at the sky outside before sunset, and naturally didn't want to stay in the room and think about boring thoughts.

"Well, I'm going to fight in Vida tomorrow, at least I can't run around Vida like a 'road blind', and go out and walk around while I have time...... Oh no, it's scouting terrain! That's what a wise leader should do. ”

Han Xue'er easily found a good reason for herself, and went against Fatis's proposal that she should stay in the tavern......

Obviously, Han Xue'er directly ignored her stunning curse that was easy to get into trouble, but with Han Xue'er's idle temperament, unless she had time to play computer games or something, otherwise, letting her stay in the room would be 'murder'!

Fortunately, Han Xue'er still has basic caution, and when she went out to 'scout the terrain', she didn't forget to call the six junior thugs to protect her own safety......

Walking out of the door of the tavern, Han Xue'er once again 'enjoyed' the treatment of being watched by a large group of people, and Han Xue'er, who was very adaptable, ignored it directly, and then went straight to the second place to sell food in Vida Town, except for the tavern-grocery store.

In Han Xue'er's eyes, food is the sky, and she doesn't have to worry about the weapons of the soldiers under her command, this food is naturally the top priority.

The façade of the grocery store is not comparable to the tavern at all, after Han Xue'er went in to inquire, she found that the food in the grocery store was much less scarce than that from the tavern, there was not even cooked food, either air-dried meat or some cheap fruits and black bread, and the most expensive was white noodles, a pound of white noodles required hundreds of small silver coins!

The fluffy white bread made is even more expensive, and as for luxury goods such as honey, it is something that ordinary people cannot enjoy, far more expensive than meat!

White flour is more expensive than meat, which makes Han Xue'er very uncomfortable, but the grocery store owner has a good impression of Han Xue'er's natural charm, and vaguely reminds a few words - the wheat yield in Vida Town is very low, so the price of white noodles is much higher, and Vida Town is not far from the border between the two countries, so it is impossible to grow food in a large area, but there are many beasts and the like, so meat food is relatively cheap.

At this point, Han Xueer knew that the cost of the fresh barbecue she ate in the tavern was really not high......

The most popular food in Vida is fluffy white bread smeared with honey!

These otherworldly people are really pitiful......

After seeing Han Xue'er's small appearance of 'dissatisfied', the grocery store owner kindly suggested: "Actually, if you want to say that the region with the richest food in the empire is the imperial capital Yanos, where you can eat all the delicious food of the Germanic Empire, the price is not too high, after all, the town of Vida is under the jurisdiction of the fortress of Leila, which guards the border, so there are not many supplies for enjoyment." ”

"Thank you."

Han Xue'er, who came out of the grocery store, came to the weapon shop in Vida Town again.

She found that the weapons on the continent of Karaouda, where iron ore was flooded, were not as cheap as she imagined, and in the weapon shop, Han Xue'er learned that the price of ordinary weapons with a simple structure here is often very low, but those high-quality weapons that are well-made and used by the real elite in the army are very expensive, and the reason is very simple, all the high-quality weapons of the army are made of crude steel!

A mess of extravagance......

At the same time, Han Xue'er had also seen the development of the Empire's iron-making technology, and an ordinary weapon shop in Vida Town had already understood how to use the primitive blast furnace steelmaking method......

It's just that due to the frequent wars, the lords all want their elites to use steel weapons, and the output of steel has never kept up with the needs of the army, so the price of steel weapons is more than ten times higher than the price of wrought iron weapons!

In fact, the weapons shops in Vida Town rarely make steel weapons, and they don't have that many people, and the ones that actually make steel weapons in batches are at least fortified cities, and only such big cities can manufacture steel weapons in large quantities at a lower cost.

Compared with expensive steel weapons, the most cost-effective weapon shop in Vida Town is the crossbow, because the bow and arrow thing needs to be trained for several years to get started, for the imperial cannon fodder corps with frequent wars and great consumption of soldiers, it is better to use crossbow archers in large quantities than to train archers who are difficult to replenish, and in the army with a large number of steel armor, the armor-piercing ability of the bow and arrow is really miserable, therefore, in the ordinary army of the various lords of the Germanic Empire, except for a few marksmen, archers are almost extinct, All cheap crossbowmen.

These news were just common sense for Han Xue'er, and what really surprised her was that she actually found a 'surprise' in the weapon shop in Vida Town!

Han Xue'er looked at the old-fashioned short-gun arquebus that the owner of the weapon shop hung on the wall as an ornament, and her heart was excited.

"Boss, did you build this weapon?"

Han Xue'er asked, pointing to the old-fashioned arquebus on the wall.

"That, it's a trophy that a mercenary sold to me when he passed through Vader's Town, I heard that it was captured from the dwarves, the dwarven kingdoms in the north of the Germanic Empire have been at war with the empire, these mercenaries have fought with dwarven soldiers, the dwarven kingdom is rich in tomahawk weapons and various firearms, if you want, 200 small silver coins This old short arquebus with matching ammunition will be given to you."

Han Xue'er's face was embarrassed, and she replied with a little blushing: "That...... I don't have enough money, can you give me a discount? ”
