As the steward had said before, the 'Flame Forge' blacksmith shop was still evident in the city. Players with maps in their hands didn't even need to ask for directions, so they came to this shop on the edge of the business district - the sign hanging in front of the door was the same style as the iron plate in Barrett's hand, and the black smoke in the chimney behind the house seemed to be waving to the players.

"Tick bell! Tick bells! When the door was opened, the brass bell embedded in the door made a crisp sound, alerting the store staff that there was a customer. Stepping inside, the front desk of the entire blacksmith shop gives people a sense of peace of mind - the lobby painted white with lime, combined with the use of large pieces of colorless transparent plate glass, brings about the lighting effect, sweeping away all the haze that may exist in the house. The vast majority of intelligent creatures like light and hate darkness, and they naturally feel relaxed and happy in this environment.

"Oops! It's really rare to have a guest at this time. As the dwarf behind the counter said this, his short arm suddenly brought out an afterimage, as if he had hidden something on the table under the counter. But this kind of behavior is useless. Even Barrett, who was far away, could smell a smell of alcohol coming from the other party's position when he sniffed his nose. Obviously, what he had hidden before was either a wine glass or a flask.

However, considering the dwarf's usual style, the situation in front of him is not too out of line. After realizing that there were no accidents, several of the players turned their attention to the store's furnishings. It must not be said that the interior of the dwarven shop is different from other people's shops. Although the furnishings are simple, the counters and shelves are all made of stone, which naturally shows the dwarven race's masonry skills.

Rather than the décor his companions had noticed, Barrett's gaze was more focused on the various weapons lined up on the containers and the armor on the shelves. Through the formation and marking in front of you. Barrett can see that the store is also retail. But it is more important to provide samples in preparation for possible bulk cargo transactions.

This made Barrett think a little: 'Is it possible to trade in arms in large quantities?' That is, the energy of this 'Flame Forge Blacksmith'. It's not just the simplicity of the name it seems! ’

Despite the large number of adventurers and mercenaries in the Western Continent, most of the weapons and equipment can be easily obtained from the shops in the towns. But how much can that kind of small store have a daily transaction volume? It is precisely because they do not affect the safety of the ruler that they will be left to their own devices. But if it's a one-time large-scale arms deal, this kind of thing will definitely be of special attention to the rulers. So to be able to run a store with this kind of project, you don't have to think about it to know what kind of backstage it has.

'Forget it! Judging from the current situation, the harder the background of the store, the better it is for us. At the very least, we won't refuse our business because of external pressure. Thinking of this, Barrett took out the iron medal he had received from his waist bag, and then patted the anvil with the hand holding it.

Immediately after that, the dwarf in the team took the iron plaque with understanding, and then walked to the counter: "The stone is on top." It's a pleasure to be able to meet our compatriots here! ”

"The stone is on top, do you have anything that the companions who came from afar need our help?" After seeing his own kind, the attitude of the dwarf behind the counter was indeed much more enthusiastic. Barrett's chosen strategy worked again this time.

Anvil then placed the token given by Barrett on the counter: "I made an appointment through the Boreham Chamber of Commerce before, hoping that Master Hammersmith would be free to tailor a full-body armor for me. Can you please help me with that, I'll give you a drink later. ”

"This is indeed a token of the store!" The dwarf who picked up the iron plate and looked at it nodded, and then he copied a bell from under the counter and shook it: "Man, you wait for a while, someone will come out and lead you in soon." ”

After a while, a leather curtain behind the counter was lifted. From the open door, there was a scorching red light. The bare-armed dwarves wielding hammers that players could see were so in harmony with the scorching aura that emanated.

"What's going on this time?" Soon a gray-bearded dwarf was behind the counter.

Then the red-cheeked dwarf on the counter stretched out his finger and pointed to the anvil, and at the same time waved the iron plaque in his hand: "It's this compatriot!" He wanted to order a full-body armor. And it's been pre-arranged. ”

"That's good! Just come in with me! Measure your figure first. Let's see if we can use the original armor or make a new one for you. With that, the graybearded dwarf beckoned to the anvil.

And when the anvil followed the other party into the workshop behind the counter, he realized that it was only a wall. But the exception is the two heavens of ice and fire. As soon as I passed through the anvil of the doorway, I saw three smoking iron-making furnaces, and in front of them a group of dwarves were sweating and running their metallurgical careers.

The closest to the furnace was a dwarf with his upper body exposed, his swarthy arms and face, as heavy as a bronze statue in the light of the fiery red fire. He skillfully worked with the iron tongs in his left hand, accurately and steadily clamping a piece of red-hot iron billet from the stove. After placing the billet on a waist-high black anvil. The right hand gripped the fist-like hammer and smashed it into the red-hot iron billet with a loud bang.

In an instant, sparks of heat flew everywhere, splashing all over his body, splashing onto his hands, and even when they landed on his beard, he still didn't move. Only the scorching spark and the sweat that covered him fought each other, and the spark was always extinguished instantly. After repeating the hammer dozens of times, the craftsman skillfully picked up the flattened and blackened iron billet and threw it into the furnace, and then took out a piece of reddish iron from it and began repeating it.

"Flutter, flutter" rang out as the churning water rang out, and it was the dwarf behind the workshop who was doing the local quenching process as the final steps were performing. He had a much smaller hammer in his hand, and the one who carried a large sledgehammer and was noticeably shorter by a knot was supposed to be his apprentice.

Not far away, the dwarf kept adding wood fire to the smoldering kiln. I was concentrating on observing the temperature inside through the small kiln opening. What is going on here is tempering. The size of the vent and the amount of fuel are the key to controlling the temperature. At the same time in the innermost part of this longhouse. A dwarf held the handle of a pure gold guillotine, and under the guillotine, thin pieces of iron were cut into thin wires. This is clearly an advance production of chain mail.

Looking at the anvil that was stunned behind, the dwarf in front of him who was in charge of leading the way turned around and shouted, "What are you doing where you are standing?" If you really want to see it, there is time when it comes out. If you want armor, come in with me now. ”

"Oh! I'll be there right away. As he said this, the anvil withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace. And the craftsmen not far from him didn't seem to notice the compatriot who passed by him. He is still concentrating on the work at hand.

In the front desk, the dwarf, who was fully conscious, was selling Barrett his merchandise: "Please look at this mace, it's made of cold iron mixed with black iron. In order to ensure that the effect of the cold iron does not fail, the masters of our shop have put a lot of effort into it! Luckily, our efforts were successful in the end, and it not only retained the utility of the cold iron itself, but also increased its overall strength......

The dwarf in front of him had good eyesight, and he noticed at first glance that Barrett's Mo knife was not ordinary. Later, they discovered the strange ghost dagger of the noodle and the obvious 'scorpion sickle' of the cat boy. After having a draft in mind, I began to decide to send a message to Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. The two ladies recommended the mace in the store.

Looking at the dwarf splashing in front of him, many of the players present were stunned. After all, an aboriginal dwarf like this who can speak well. You haven't seen it a few times since you entered the game! Looking at the twitching facial muscles of his companions, Barrett only stepped forward immediately to clear the siege: "This gentleman." We don't have any plans to buy any other new equipment yet. But now I'd like to ask, how long does it take to order a full-body armor from you? And how is the payment made? ”

"Don't be polite to this big guest, just call me Kazmuk." The dwarf, completely free from the influence of alcohol, spoke like a cannon: "If you want to make custom armor, it can take a long or short time. If it is modified with existing armor, it will take less time. Generally speaking, it will be solved in 3-5 days. However, if there is no suitable basic armor, it will take at least half a month to build it from scratch before it can be delivered. As for the payment! According to the rules, a one-third of the deposit is paid first. The remaining balance payment will be paid after the acceptance of the goods. Of course, if you suddenly regret it later, we will not refund this one-third of the deposit. ”

It costs at least 500 gold to buy it or not, which does seem like a bit of an overlord clause. However, judging from the situation in the Western Continent, this is a rule that everyone agrees on. Because of the level of the dwarven craftsmen, there has never been an incident of refusal to buy because of quality problems.

Generally speaking, in that case, it is often the buyer who suddenly has an accident, resulting in the inability to pay the final payment, which makes the transaction stranded. However, you must know that the cost of creating a full-body armor is not low, so once this kind of thing happens, it will often cause a heavy loss to the blacksmith shop - of course, if the full-body armor that cannot be sold is lucky, someone can take over if you change it. However, before that, it will also seriously affect the cash flow of the store.

Over time, in order to ensure the operation as much as possible, this kind of customized business will form the current transaction method - of course, this is also related to the fact that there are more master monks who can create full-body armor. If the relationship between supply and demand changes, maybe any price reduction promotion installments will come out.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, the anvil that had completed the data collection work finally came out of the door. Followed by Clematis. Bot took a money bag from his storage space and placed it on the counter. The clerk in front of him immediately began to count the gold coins inside and the equivalent gems that replaced the gold coins. After some weighing, he handed the anvil a sign made of red copper: "When it is finished, we will send someone to the house to inform you." When the time comes, come and get the armor with this token. ”

The anvil that had completed the first task hid the bronze medal close to his body. Then he drew his weapon and tightened the strap of his shield: "Barrett! I'll go out first! ”

"Be careful! If you find that the situation is not right, you will return it immediately. Barrett patted the dwarf on the shoulder, "But I guess they'll wait until we're all out to attack!" ”

He then instructed the spellcasters in the ranks, "Rielly prepare protective arrows for everyone, your own catboy and noodles, and a piece of mage armor." Klaimatis gives anvils and cats the power of a cow. Let me have the tenacity of a bear! Claudia prepares the mantra of chivalry ......"

Kazmuk, who was behind the counter, saw the scene in front of him and immediately jumped to the counter with a hammer in his hand: "What are you doing here?" Don't mess around! If something happens to us here, the guards will be there in a moment. ”

The dwarf who turned back explained, "The stone is on top! I'm not going to make trouble in my own countryman's shop. But there seems to be someone out there trying to get us in trouble. So we have to prepare a little bit now. Let's hope that what happens out there won't affect your business. ”

After saying this, the dwarf finished blessing his body and left the 'Flame Forge' blacksmith shop first. However, when he turned his head to observe the environment outside the store, he realized that there were no neatly arrayed enemies in front of him. But this whole empty road is telling him that the situation in front of him is not right.

"Barrett! Why don't you come out and have a look. Where the hell am I hiding those guys? Holding a shield in one hand and an anvil with a hammer in the other, he shouted to the store as he carefully moved his steps.

Hearing this, Barrett turned around and said, "It seems that those fellows don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles!" We're taking a risk. ”

"What are you afraid of, it's a chance to resurrect!" As he said this, the noodles quickly tumbled outward, and then ducked behind an oak barrel on the side of the road. (To be continued......)
