Volume 2 Storm Chapter 35 Obon Festival
Koichiro looked at the whip blade that the uncle had been polishing just now, and there was a sharp eagle claw hook tied to the tip of the whip blade, and the soft whip was hidden by the fine blade cutting.
This weapon is very suitable for action in the night, on the one hand, it can be used for flexible attacks, and on the other hand, the eagle claw hook at the top can also hook the ropeway to facilitate escape, and it is also a good choice as a backup weapon. ’
Seeing that the buyer was interested in the whip blade on his hand, the enthusiasm of the uncle of the weapon shop was suddenly ignited again.
"Lad interested in this? It's a pity that this has already been booked by other guests, and it will probably be a week before another one is made", the uncle of the weapon shop was very satisfied with the work in his hand, but said with a regretful tone.
Slow work produces meticulous work, and a well-made weapon must be carefully polished for a week before it can be unveiled in the best form.
"But this kind of monster is not easy to fight, if a warrior wants to hunt monsters, it is better to buy a sword and a round shield," he said, picking up the whip blade on the polishing table, and assessed it fairly.
The honest uncle of the weapon shop didn't want to do the business of pit people, and gave the most suitable advice for the teenager in front of him.
Because he regarded Koichiro as a warrior who had taken over the bounty mission for the first time and was about to go on an adventure, but judging from his dress and bearing, he didn't look like he was from a civilian background, which made him unpredictable.
But Koichiro is not an adventurer who has come out to pick weapons.
"Can you make special weapons?" Koichiro asked.
'Special weapons? This kid has a pretty good taste! It seems to be a knowledgeable person. The uncle of the weapons shop thought to himself, maybe it was a good business, and it would be fruitful as soon as it opened today.
"Weapons from my hands, of course no problem with customization, you can be sure of the drawings to choose the style you like, special patterns and markings do not hesitate to mention!" The weapon shop uncle reassured.
At this time, the uncle of the weapon shop thought that this young man might be from a noble class with a little money, and he wanted to order the bells and whistles, flashy guns and knives.
"Special patterns? No. ”
Koichiro is not interested in these things, and the durability, efficacy, and convenience of the weapon are the key considerations for the purchase of weapons.
Then, Hangichiro said, "The source of the instrument, can it be customized?" ”
The simple question made the uncle of the weapon shop gasp, "People can't look good, this is actually a messenger of the gods." ’
"Is there going to be anything big going to happen this week, this is the second messenger of the gods to visit my little shop to inquire about the source of the instrument!" ’
It's no wonder that the owner of the weapon shop made a fuss, the messenger of the gods is among the civilians, but he is one in a hundred thousand characters, and some people have never met a messenger of the gods in their lives, and even think that this is just a legend.
The uncle of the weapons shop is a blacksmith, so he opened a weapon grinding workshop to make a living.
Vocation, that is, in Teyvat, at birth, all newborns will be determined by God to work as adults, so as to promote the continuous development of Teyvat.
Only by completing the tasks required by the vocation can you get the opportunity to choose to do the job you like, and then you can go to the Adventurer's Guild to register, of course, the task of changing jobs is not difficult, so many people can get the opportunity to change jobs, even more than once.
The uncle of the weapon shop was a blacksmith for generations, and under the influence of the family atmosphere, he fell in love with this ordinary vocation more and more, and did not change after completing the mission of vocation.
The uncle of the weapon shop really wants to do this successful business, but he doesn't have the level to make a weapon source.
"It's not a secret, this kind of source is only made by a blacksmith who can sense the power of the divine envoy, and none of my ancestors are divine envoys, so naturally I can't do it!"
The uncle of the weapon shop waved his hand and said regretfully, "You can't do it, but you can build a customized weapon for you if you like it." ”
'Need a blacksmith who senses the power of the messenger of the gods...... This should be that only the messengers of the gods can perceive each other's attributes.
Koichiro pondered for a moment the words of the weapon shop uncle, "It seems that the people who Lilith wants to bring back the blood oath are all skilled. ’
Well, I didn't get the answer I wanted, but after so long in someone else's store, I had plenty of coins with me, and it was good to buy a good one.
Koichiro took off the burden on his shoulder, opened the bag, took out the budget of 15 silver coins, counted them, and put them on the counter.
"There is no budget for this, come and put the lightweight, easy to attack!"
The uncle of the weapon shop smiled when he saw the real money, "I only polished it yesterday, it should be quite suitable for you to use." ”
'It doesn't look like a black-hearted business,' Koichiro nodded and acquiesced to his uncle's arrangement.
Then, the uncle of the weapon shop entered the inner room for a while, took out a thin sword from the inner polishing room, held it in both hands, handed it to Hangichiro with great affection, and said, "You try this." ”
Koichiro took it, pulled the sword out of the scabbard, it was a dark blue thin sword, the sword body was made of iron, thin and sharp, with a faint cold light, although the carving on the hilt was mediocre, but from the point of view of the blade and feel, it was indeed a relatively good weapon.
Seeing Hangichiro's satisfied eyes, the owner of the weapon shop grinned at the young man in front of him and said, "I want to charge 20 silver coins for this, so I'll sell you cheaper." ”
'Really...... It doesn't look like a flamboyant boss either. ’
"Then, deal," Koichiro pushed a pile of silver coins on the counter in front of the weapon shop owner.
Carrying a burden, and now there is a sword wrapped in black cloth on his back, I have to say that this boss is really attentive.
Speaking of the owner of the weapon shop, the 180-centimeter-tall body, the strong muscles honed by the perennial iron, and the large fat part, the rough face seems to be carved out of the rock, plus the vest and slippers, if it is not described as a difficult player in professional wrestling, it is a black-clad organization boss who knocks on the door with a large set of keys to collect debts.
"You can't just look at the surface of everything, otherwise you won't be able to buy such a good product", Koichiro pulled the strap of the black cloth so that the sword did not slide down.
When I first entered this store, the dilapidated decoration at the door and the appearance of the owner made me think that I would not make the first purchase in another world.
--
Before you know it, the sun is in the sky.
The sun that looks directly at Teyvat's other world is not dazzling, and at first I thought it was an icon similar to the control of the game program, but gradually I felt that the light source and heat of the other world would change with the fall of this "icon", so it can only be said that it is a relatively mild sun.
At the same time, Koichiro did not feel that there was a significant temperature change in this world.
Maybe it's also a relationship with real-world time synchronization?
Yes, it only takes a month at most, and winter in Tokyo doesn't come so quickly.
'It's time to go to the bell tower in the center of town to meet Thea......' Koichiro followed the original route and walked briskly to the bell tower.
Arriving at the bell tower, it is worthy of being a cargo transit town, lively.
The clock tower is surrounded by people, and if you stand in the middle, it looks like a personal meat billboard.
Koichiro looked around and picked a place not far from here that had a good view of the bell tower to and from the orcs.
At this time, it was a little earlier than Shia had said, and Koichiro leaned sideways against the wall of a nearby shop, hugging his chest, and waited silently.
'The handsome swordsman boy is waiting for his beloved girl in a heroic manner? I don't know who is so lucky! Once this setting is accepted, passers-by look sideways and have a romantic love scene in their heads.
About ten minutes passed.
"Your Excellency~~~" is Thea's voice, but she is not seen.
Not far away, a large stack of colorful packaging boxes staggered towards him, only to see two thin legs exposed underneath.
'Isn't it......?' This way of appearing is too eye-catching, what kind of killer is so swaggering', Koichiro can be seen with the naked eye, he is about to become a coolie.
There are more than a dozen large and small color packaging boxes, with flower bud silk ribbons, kraft paper packaging bags, transparent gift boxes, and everything in flowers.
......' Itina's furious desire to buy shocked Koichiro, but after all, it wasn't her own money, and it was up to her.
"Take it", Koichiro walked over and took the initiative to share the hard work for Thea, taking most of the gift box.
"Your Excellency, no, no, let's do it, this is what I should do as a slave."
Xia's face flushed, and she felt very embarrassed, as a slave, how dare she let her master, or her benefactor, do the heavy work.
So she kept backing away with a large pile of gift boxes.
"There are no slaves here, bring them", Koichiro insisted.
"Thank you, Your Excellency", in the blink of an eye, Xia's heavy work was transferred to the hands of Hangichiro, and she thanked her again and again embarrassedly.
Itina was still strolling around in the back when she saw a nice shop and beckoned the two people behind her to come over.
This shop looks like a favorite accessory for girls from the window.
The thought of the accompanying shopaholic benefiting a street and increasing labor costs made Koichiro's temples suddenly hurt.
'......' Koichiro was completely muted, and it was none of his business to close his eyes.
"Ahaha......" Thea didn't know what to say.
It was almost evening, and Koichiro was about to get the carriage and return to the blood oath, but Itina was a little tired after a day of shopping, and when she returned to the hotel, she fell asleep on the table downstairs.
The kind-hearted shopkeeper Timi said, "Why don't you stay tonight?" It's the autumn festival in the town of Colum tonight, and there will be priests who are not usually seen. ”
'Priest? Is it a messenger of God? ’
During the autumn festival, the town of Colum is flooded with guests from neighboring towns.
As the sun goes down at 8 o'clock in the evening, the streets come alive with lights that resemble the grand festival of Obon in Tokyo every year.
The streets of Collum's town centre are brightly lit, with rows of stalls selling strange knick-knacks, from goldfish, colourful water balloons, hairpins and hawkers hawking animal-patterned sweets made of maltose and the mouth-watering smell of barbecued meat.
