I have to say that the camp director's residence is really much more comfortable than the sentry post that the players stayed in before. While Barrett's cape provides a good temperature, an unfurnished room is always awkward—in other words, devoid of life.

After enjoying the food prepared by the camp chefs, the tired players quickly fell asleep. The daytime battles, both mentally and physically, have caused a great burden on the blood-stained Gray Flowers. In particular, the dwarven anvil had absorbed a lot of damage, although it had closed its wounds with the help of healing magic. But the consumption of this flesh and blood can not be replenished by magic alone.

Early the next morning, Priest Weldon arranged for someone to confirm the situation of the sentry. After the confirmation of those professional craftsmen, although this guard post is not as likely to collapse at any time as Barrett said, it can be regarded as a dangerous house. At the same time, it has indeed lost its function as a sentry.

The threat of fireballing to such wooden structures is terrifying. In addition to the gap that was completely burned, there are also many traces of carbonization in other parts. This is one of the important reasons why later attackers were able to easily widen the gap. And after the double baptism of magic and violent demolition. Claudia. The blocking vines thrown by Auditore as he left made the situation even worse for the sentry - the plants were clinging and squeezing with great force.

"Does that mean it takes a lot of man-hours to renovate there?" Priest Weldon, who had listened to the report, pointed his finger at the office table.

The craftsman in front of him nodded: "Both the walls and the load-bearing columns have suffered varying degrees of damage. And when the sentry was built, the building itself was not designed for long-term use. So now it's not about spending a lot of effort on repairs. It is better to push it to rebuild, which is more time-saving and labor-saving. ”

Hearing this, Priest Weldon immediately felt a headache. When the camp was set up before. The Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, for its part, is trying to save as much budget as possible. All the buildings in the camp were built to temporary standards. This is a real saving of money, but when there is a problem, the situation is often more serious.

After a long sigh, Priest Weldon let go of his brow. After all, things are already like that, and it's useless to regret it now. What is needed is to come up with a concrete solution: "Then counting the cost of raw materials, you can give me a comparative plan!" When the assessment is complete, I will arrange for you to do the work. So for now, set up a hard tent on the edge of the sentry for the time being, and I think you should be able to finish it by today! ”

"A new hard tent?" The artisan leader touched his chin. "If we had hired people, we would have been able to complete it today. However, repairs in other places may be affected. If you use a spell, you might be able to speed things up. But then the cost will be ......."

"Understood, so let's put aside other repair projects that are not very important! Defensive facilities are more important. After some deliberation, Priest Weldon finally decided that he should return the men in his house to their posts first.

The leader of the craftsmen bent down and saluted, "Understood! I'll arrange it right away. ”

Priest Weldon, who waved his hand to signal the other party to leave, threw himself into his busy work again.

At this moment, the players are gathered outside the camp subway craftsman's shop. As an anvil for the defense of the war, he asked the blacksmith in front of him at this time: "Can it still be repaired?" ”

Looking at the broken plate armor placed in front of him, the blacksmith was very hesitant: "I'm really a little unsure about this!" ”

Yesterday's battle didn't just leave Anvil himself with a lot of damage. As the full-body armor wrapped around him, the plate armor he wore was also scarred. At that time, in order to be able to remove the deformed armor from the dwarf's body. Barrett didn't put in a lot of effort.

However, with the help of a hammer, the armor was removed, but if you want to re-transmit the badly deformed armor. But it has become a difficult thing to do. Moreover, the large area of damage also makes it difficult for it to have the same protection ability as in the past, even if it is worn.

So today the anvil had to bring his own armor to the blacksmith to see if there were any craftsmen who could repair it. As for the dwarf's own blacksmith level, it's okay to repair a kitchen knife and repair a sword. Dealing with armor that requires high skill such as full-body plate armor is completely more than enough to be able to do it!

Finding that the other party didn't have an anvil to refuse, he asked a little excitedly: "Maybe it means that there is a chance to repair it?" ”

Because full-body plate armor requires extremely high craftsmanship and experience, it is often the masters of the industry who can create them. Even if the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce paid more attention to this operation, it was unlikely that it would have placed a master blacksmith in the logistics force.

This is not only because of the value of these craftsmen, but also because the church also needs to consider the cost. So the anvil was originally just holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to seem to be really hopeful. It's no wonder that dwarves' moods fluctuate.

"I'm not sure, after all, I can't make a full-body armor with my abilities. However, they are much less difficult to repair than to craft. So there seems to be some hope. The blacksmith touched his beard, "Or else!" I'll fix the large parts that look like the cuirass on it. As for the difficult parts like the Joint Ball, you can take them back and repair them with spells. Although as an anvil, it is humiliating to say such frustrating words. But the lady pastor over there should be able to help. ”

"It does solve a lot of problems." Claymatis. Bot clasped his hands together, "If we need to fix those big pieces with repairs, it will be really unbearable!" ”

After getting the answer, the anvil immediately began to care about the starting price: "Then this repair is also paid by the church according to the war damage?" ”

"Don't worry! If these are not part of the battle attrition, I am afraid that the entire camp will run out of defenders. As he spoke, the bearded blacksmith lifted his sledgehammer. I'll leave it all to me! As it stands. My apprentice and I worked overtime. The repair will probably be completed by tomorrow evening. You'll have to come back to the repaired parts then. ”

"Thank you so much." Anvil immediately thanked him. Keep in mind that it's not just the anvil that needs to be maintained in the entire camp. The other adventurers also threw their own equipment that they couldn't solve to the blacksmith shop. Although the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church employs more than one blacksmith, it is still a little stretched to deal with such a large group of warriors! So after the list was full, if they wanted to deliver it in time, the blacksmiths had to work overtime.

"I don't need to be grateful, I'm also for myself!" The blacksmith in front of him touched his nose, "If you are defeated because of equipment problems, the fate of our people will not be much better!" Those attackers don't show mercy just because we're logisticians. Keeping you in the best shape for your enemies is the best way for us to protect ourselves. Besides, I don't have many opportunities to repair my whole body armor. This time it was just enough to quench the cravings. ”

"Then I'll leave everything to you." When he was leaving, the anvil said solemnly, it seems that he is really precious to his whole body armor!

Seeing Anvil's relieved look, Barrett laughed and teased: "Now you finally have a heart disease!" ”

"Yes! It's finally easy. You know, I'm in debt right now for that armor! If I can't fix it, I'm afraid I'll have to sell my body to pay back. The anvil, who was in a good mood, also joked at this time.

Rielly suddenly glanced back at him, "We're all your creditors. Even creditors are not worried about your ability to repay the money. Do you need to scare yourself like that? It makes us look like the underworld of usury in ancient times. ”

"Just say that, just say that." Anvil smiled awkwardly.

Barrett, who didn't like to dwell on this anymore, immediately diverted the topic: "Clematis, you spent so much effort yesterday to negotiate with Priest Weldon. So how much loot will we probably be able to get this time? ”

"I don't know the specifics at the moment! However, even if we give up Lily's contribution to the Winter Wolf, the loot that we killed and captured alone is about 3,000 gold coins. "Speaking of which, Klematis. As if something had suddenly occurred to her, Bot turned her head to the mage, "That's right, Lily! The scroll you used this time will be reimbursed by the church. I'll take you to get the application form in a minute. ”

"It seems that there are indeed a lot of benefits to following the actions of the big organization!" Rielly's smile at this time could not be hidden.

It's a pity that Barrett actually said in a big way at this time: "Not to mention that this kind of action is not so easy to meet." What's more, the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church has always been the organization that is most capable of squeezing the value of others. Don't look at the terms they give, it seems to be pretty good. But it's actually compared to the risk we need to take. They are consistently paid very little. ”

"But only with such a big action can we earn experience quickly! Otherwise. If you want to upgrade, you don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey! "Knowing that Barrett is telling the truth, Clematis. Bot, at this time, can only refute from the player's point of view. Who made the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce give the impression that this is the case!

Hear Claudia here. Auditore immediately felt a little strange: "According to Barrett, the action organized by the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' should not have many people participating in it, right?" We players still have experience points and system quests to compensate, but how can those natives be willing to be squeezed by others! ”

"Do you think the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church is squeezing adventurers? Just look at those lords and chambers of commerce. This is all a matter of the eldest brother not talking about the second brother. Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "For adventurers, especially low-level aboriginal adventurers, who is squeezed is not squeezed!" If you have the opportunity to make money, you will naturally go on it quickly, but you can't starve yourself to death because of the injustice in your heart. ”

Barrett is talking about this situation, which is a bit like a price alliance between the giants of the old era. The Great Trusts, with their vast resources, make rules at will to oppress the common people. And ordinary people who lack the means of confrontation are not only silently enduring in front of this, but to a certain extent, they are already accustomed to it. As long as they can survive, not many people are willing to overthrow the existing system.

"The so-called benevolent lords or organizations with a good reputation are usually just not so ruthless when they are exploited." Claymatis. Bot took over at this time, "But the organizations and individuals who voluntarily cut meat are a minority after all. As the one who said, there are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class that betrays interests. ”

"Of course, those who are in high positions are not without paying, for example, the lords shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of the lives and property of the lords. It's just that the ratio between their efforts and their returns is huge. The leverage between the average person's effort and return is much smaller. Barrett, who was worried about someone coming up with something bad, began to add at this time.

"There is no such thing as an absolutely fair society anywhere." Anvil's expression was a little heavy as he said this. It seems that he lives underground in reality, and he has a deep feeling for this kind of thing.

Barrett also smiled and said, "An absolutely fair society is just an ideal. After all, as long as it is an intelligent creature, it is desired. At the same time, the value judgment of different people is also different. Let's take life! For each person, their own life is priceless. But not for others. If it rises to the national level, it becomes a cold number. ”

"Isn't it time for you to say, 'The ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel'?" Claymatis. Bott didn't forget to tease Barrett at this time.

But Barrett shook his head: "I'm past the age of Form 2. It's just a matter of looking at the anvils and noodles that are about to return to the surface. So just give them a shot beforehand. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with their emotions, it might turn good to bad! (To be continued.) )
