17. Silver Spear Armor
17. Silver Spear Armor
The courtyard where Ash lived was one of the best in the Matt family's mansion, with many luxurious rooms and a separate walled courtyard, as well as a well-sized arena where Johnson led his soldiers to practice on weekdays.
It's just that on this day, they had a rare rest, because at this time, in the martial arts arena, which was not very open, a barracks had already been erected out of thin air!
This barracks was built overnight by Ash, and fortunately, he had a better mind when he left the base, and brought two villagers with him, otherwise he would have to find someone to run back to the base and bring people back, and I don't know how much time it would take.
At this time, Ash was lazily leaning back on the soft chair in his room, carefully looking at the strong man in front of him.
Dressed in a simple and wild animal skin short clothes, brown hair and leopard eyes, square face and wide lips, dark complexion, exaggerated muscles, and dense scars all over the body, this person's demeanor is exactly the same as that Lei Peng!
"Master, does this really work? That wild woman and Lei Peng are brothers and sisters who have been together for many years anyway, I'm afraid that as long as we don't pay attention in front of her, we will show our feet! β
Looking at the 'Lei Peng No. 2' in front of her, who had just come out of the barracks, Aina said with some concern.
"It's okay, this Lei Peng is almost no different from a real person in appearance, I just need him to hand Nana a glass of water, if you only have one side, there won't be much danger."
I saw Ash smile and said, and then ordered people to dismantle the barracks in the courtyard, so as not to scare the people of the Matt family, the villagers under his command made very little noise when they built the barracks last night, and there were their own soldiers guarding the periphery of the courtyard, so except for the people in the courtyard, no one was aware of the existence of the barracks.
After explaining a few more words to the 'Lei Peng No. 2', Ash asked him to put on a civilian suit over the animal skin coat, slightly covering half of his face, and then took Aina and Dwayne out with Johnson and ten soldiers.
The soldiers under Ash were all tall and big without exception, and the worst of them were about the same as Lei Peng, so the fake Lei Peng mixed in with them would not attract attention at all.
Just now, Ash has received the news that Nana and Lei Peng, who have been nesting in the yard for two whole days, have finally gone out, and at this time they are wandering around the business district in the southern district of Fitt City, buying food and weapons everywhere, and tomorrow is the day of the duel, and Ash wants to make it bad, and there is only one chance today.
On the other side, Nana and Lei Peng are leading a few of their subordinates to shuttle through the major weapons stores, but I don't know what's wrong, in this huge Fit City, there is not a single quality knife and gun for sale, and there are already five or six shops, and the faΓ§ade looks not small, but the knives and guns sold are defective products that are close to scrapping, otherwise they are powerless decorative weapons, which can make the brothers and sisters not depressed, especially, often next to those broken knives and guns, there will be a sword with broken hair, A dagger sharpened like clay......
"What a tattered again! What do you mean by the fact that the faΓ§ade of your store is so well repaired, and you actually fool us with such rotten goods? Are you afraid that we don't have any money, or do you think I'm a barbarian and a bully!? β
At this time, Nana was holding a scrapped spear that seemed to be able to blow it off with a gust of wind and angrily scolded the shopkeeper, and she was already furious when she encountered this kind of thing one after another in a day.
"This young lady is laughing, the noble warriors are extremely fierce and famous all over the world, how dare I do you badly!"
The boss who was lifted by Nana by the collar looked helpless, and had the heart to break free, and saw the murderous appearance of the big men behind the other party, but he didn't dare, so he had to say as flattering as possible: "It's really that the store just received an order two days ago, and the two weapons that can be used are all taken away at a high price, and the person who ordered it seems to be the emperor's ** person, saying that it is to replenish a passing army nearby, and now it is not yet the day of purchase, so naturally I can't get any decent knives and guns......"
Saying that, the boss laughed again and said: "But there are no knives and guns, the supply of other weapons is sufficient, Miss, look at that long sword, the workmanship is exquisite, the texture is elite, not only the appearance is eye-catching, the power is even better, if you look at it, I will give you a proper discount......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Nana say angrily: "Don't! What bullshit! Big brother, let's go! β
Immediately afterward, I saw her throw away the boss casually, turn around and leave.
The latter staggered back a few steps, and was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by several men not far away, so he didn't flash the old waist.
Looking at the back of Nana and the others disappearing from the door of the store, the boss snorted coldly, waved his hand and sent away the guy, before turning to a smile.
"Now, the benefits promised by Boss Yimar shouldn't be able to run, right?"
On the other side, Nana and Lei Peng had just walked out of the store not far away, and they saw Ash and others from a distance, and when they saw that the tall Johnson was also following Ash, Lei Peng next to Nana immediately clenched his fists, presumably the shame of being beaten that day, and his sister's drills in the past two days, made him have a lot of resentment about losing to Johnson.
Ash led his subordinates, swaggering, unhurried strolling down the noisy street, from time to time to look at this, pointing to that, looking like he was wandering around in his spare time, as if he didn't care about tomorrow's duel at all, his performance in Nana's eyes, even more aroused the latter's belly--- this guy looks like a human, how can he look at it and hate it?
Thinking of this, Nana subconsciously stepped forward.
"Huh? Miss Nana, it's such a coincidence that you're here too? β
It wasn't until Nana walked up to Ash and led someone to block his way that Ash twitched his head, as if he had just seen Nana, and said with a smile, not at all nervous, but as if he had met an old friend who was familiar with him on the road.
I saw Nana glance at Ash with some disgust, and snorted coldly from her nose: "What? Knowing that he is going to die tomorrow, he can catch his breath and come out to have fun? β
"Haha, is Miss Nana a part-time fortune teller? The words are so determined, be careful to flash your waist, but Miss Nana, you can rest assured, I generally don't kill women, as long as you behave better, I can consider letting you live. β
Ash laughed absentmindedly.
"Don't be ashamed! It's up to you? I don't even bother to talk to you dead man, my saliva is in vain! β
Nana cursed, glanced at Ash hatefully, and then took a step, intending to take someone away, seeing her arrogant appearance, Ash followed by Die seemed to be about to open her mouth and choke, but was stopped by Ash raising his hand.
"Don't pay attention to this wild girl, let's get the things first, as long as you take that treasure gun, there will be no suspense in tomorrow's decisive battle."
Ash's words were said in Die's ear, coupled with the noise on the street, it was impossible for others to hear what he said, but Nana was different, under the deliberate training of several years, her eyesight and ear power were excellent, although she didn't hear it completely, but she also vaguely heard Ash say what words 'treasure gun', 'duel', and 'suspense', and couldn't help but stop the steps that were about to take again.
In the blink of an eye, Ash had already led people to a weapons shop not far away, this shop was not large, the decoration was also very simple, and the two lazy guys at the door were chatting on the door frame, looking like they had not entered before.
Speaking of which, seeing Ash's indifferent appearance today, Nana's heart is really a little confused, although her kung fu is high, but she also understands the truth of 'there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky', she has only seen Ash once before, and she doesn't know what level the other party's martial arts have reached, plus she just saw the other party's well-equipped appearance, and that arrogant and casual attitude, and her heart is even more uneasy.
"Is that guy really strong? He's so thin......"
Nana muttered secretly in her heart, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly: "It's not right! Just by looking at the body shape, how can you judge a person's strength or weakness? My body is very slender, but the power that bursts out is greater than that of my big brother! If that guy really didn't say anything, wouldn't I be in danger tomorrow? ...... 'Treasure Gun'? Are they going to buy weapons? For tomorrow's duel? β
Thinking of this, Nana stared at the direction where the backs of Ash and the others disappeared with a somewhat solemn face, and then thought about the words she had just heard from Ash's mouth, and finally made a decision in her heart, and walked towards the store.
Lei Peng and the others, who were following Nana, saw that Nana suddenly changed direction, although they didn't know why, they didn't open their mouths to refute it, so they had to follow in a daze.
"Good gun! Sure enough, it's a good gun! Pure gold iron spear head, black wood gun barrel, such a good color, even in the city of Verte, it is difficult to find! β
In the shop, Ash was holding a spear with a gorgeous and sharp shape, more than a person high, and praised loudly, and from time to time he skimmed the direction of the door with the corner of his eye, and when he saw Nana rising, he increased his voice and continued: "Not only this gun, but this set of soft armor is also the best!" Not only is the defense amazing, but it is also more flexible and lightweight, I am afraid that wearing such a set of soft armor on the body, not only will the wearer feel light, but also ordinary weapons are difficult to cause damage to themselves! Eh, it's just that this look looks like a set of women's clothes......"
Before the words fell, Nana led someone in, and as soon as she approached, she saw Ash turn around suddenly, as if she had just noticed, and laughed with some panic: "Miss Nana? You? β¦β¦ Why did you come along? β
When he spoke, he didn't forget to hide the spear in his hand behind him, and Johnson also flashed and blocked the front of the shelf, but the silver head of the spear flashed above his head, and it was difficult for people not to pay attention.
"What do you want me to follow you? The road is facing the sky, each on its own! Which way do I want to go, what's in your way? β
Seeing his appearance, Nana smiled, nu her chin and said, "What is in your hand?" Hidden and tucked, afraid that I will see it? β
Ash: "It's nothing, it's just a pain to buy something." β
"Less nonsense! Take it out and I'll take a look! β
Nana obviously didn't understand what part of the 'idle egg pain' was referring to, but as soon as she took a step, she swooped behind Ash with a 'whoosh', and then poked out, and when she turned back to the same place, the spear was already in her hand.
"Good gun!"
As soon as the gun arrived, Nana's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but praise it.
This gun is indeed not bad, the head of the gun is hard and sharp, the cold light is shining, the barrel is strong but not stiff, and it has a lot of weight to start, although it is not as exaggerated as what she heard Ash say just now, but in this Fit City, it can be regarded as one of the best products...... At least it is at the same level as the guns produced by the skilled builders in his clan!
"I want this gun!"
With almost no hesitation, Nana announced her ownership of the gun.
Seeing this, Ash seemed to be a little angry, and retorted with a gloomy face: "Miss Nana, everything is particular about first come, first come, right?" I fell in love with this gun first, so why is it yours? β
Nana raised her eyebrows: "First come, first come?" Have you ever heard of 'the highest bidder wins'? Boss, how much does this gun sell for? β
Hearing this, the shopkeeper who had been accompanying him immediately replied: "This young lady, I spent a lot of money to get this gun, and I wanted to make it a treasure of the town, so the price is ......."
"Less wordy! How much? β
"Ah, ...... Ask for three thousand silver coins, and only cash will be accepted......"
"Six thousand! Here you go, you don't have to look for it! β
Before the shopkeeper's words fell, Nana generously threw a gold scroll into the boss's arms, which was a gold scroll commonly used in the Verthian Empire, not made of gold, and the material was just a high-quality animal skin paper, which was similar to the ancient silver ticket, which was carefully marked with the amount of money that could be withdrawn, as well as the official anti-counterfeiting logo of the empire, which was not easy to imitate.
And on this gold scroll, it is written: 'Six hundred gold coins'.
Generally speaking, although according to the rate of one hundred to one, the value of 600 gold coins is the same as the value of 6,000 silver coins, but in comparison, after all, gold is much more valuable, so in the people, there are few people willing to exchange the gold in their hands for silver, which leads to the exchange rate between the two, there is a slight asymmetry, generally speaking, a hundred gold coins, can already be exchanged for 1,300 or 400 silver coins.
In this way, the price given by Nana is not just doubled, looking at such a large amount of money, where will the boss stand on Ash's side, and immediately smiled and prepared to pack for Nana, only to see Nana glance at Ash proudly, and said: "The owner of this shop is open to do business, of course, it is for a profit, if you can bid higher than me, I naturally have nothing to say, but ...... Hehe, let's get ahead of me first! β
Ash was so angry that her face turned red, and she shook one hand on her waist several times, but in the end she didn't even pick up the money bag contained there, and finally she could only snort angrily, turn her head to the shopkeeper and say, "Forget it! This shot should be given to you, boss, give me this soft armor ......"
"The soft armor he said, wrap me up too!"
Before Ash finished speaking, he heard Nana smile and said very arrogantly: "We don't have much else in the Thor Department, but we have a lot of money!" The same 600 gold, the original price can't be higher than this, right? β
"No, no, no! This is to wrap up the young lady! Wait a minute, it's going to be right away! β
When the boss heard this, he smiled happily, only to feel that a big pie had fallen from the sky, and Johnson, who was still blocked in front, squeezed away from the fart and squeezed away Johnson, who was still blocked in front, took off a set of silver soft armor on it, packed it in a delicate wooden box, and handed it to Nana's hands.
During this period, looking at Ash's blue and red face, Nana felt very happy
