Chapter 35: The First Business
Buying gear?
John was confused. First of all, not to mention whether it is unusual for two children to come to buy equipment, how can any nobleman go out to buy swords by himself, or buy them directly from the workshop instead of the equipment store, which is even more strange.
"This is an equipment workshop, not an equipment shop, you have to buy equipment and go to the equipment store. John said, "I guess the two children were taken the wrong way by the guards.
"We're not buying toys like the ones in the equipment store, we're buying real swords. After listening to John's words, the younger brother of the two siblings interjected, and his words were still dissatisfied, and it seemed that he was angry at the equipment store. As soon as she finished speaking, her sister secretly pulled the corner of her brother's clothes. Although it was more hidden, John found out. But John's focus was not there.
"Toys?" John repeated when he heard a strange word for equipment. In John's memory, equipment was used to defend himself and attack, and it was nothing like toys. Thinking of this, John said, "An equipment store that sells toys is really not in business." I have all the equipment I can really use, but I don't have any toys. Unbeknownst to John, the toy the kid was referring to the aristocratic ceremonial sword, a decorative sword that focused on appearance rather than utility.
At this point, John pointed to the freshly built equipment next to him and said, "Just start doing it, that's all there is to it, choose it yourself." "Feelings, this person has used his equipment as bread?" muttered to the two siblings.
At this time, one of the guards they brought with him walked up to them, bent down lightly and whispered to them, and the elder sister nodded slightly, and asked John, "Can you call the shots?" Also, although John was now sitting in the foyer reading a book, he still wore the protective waist he used to strike iron, and he looked like a blacksmith no matter how he looked.
John said, "I'm the boss, of course I can call the shots." "You're not like that. The elder sister came to John, circled around John, and said, "How can a boss dress like this, just like a blacksmith." John wondered, "I'm a blacksmith." Again, there is no conflict. ”
My sister was choked, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true that there was no rule that a blacksmith could not be the boss, nor did it say that the boss could not strike iron. It's just that according to common sense, a person who can have such a big workshop is not a person who can strike iron himself.
But it doesn't matter to them, as long as they have good equipment, it doesn't matter who builds it.
The two sisters and brothers are not very knowledgeable about weapons and equipment, and in addition to protecting their own safety, they take guards just to choose good equipment.
After the two siblings motioned for them to choose, two people from the escort walked up to John's equipment and bent down to pick up one. The guard on the left picked up a knife, and the guard on the right scooped up a warhammer.
As soon as he started, the guard's eyes were different. As a guard who is good at using a variety of weapons, he is naturally able to distinguish between good and bad weapons. The knife is weighed and weighed in the hand, and the weight is full, but the center of gravity is well distributed, even if it is swung with all its strength, it can have a good strain, and the feel of the war hammer is also very good, and it is very easy to use. Looking at the blade carefully, it was even more flashing with cold light, extremely sharp.
The guards put down their knives and hammers, and examined the weapons on the ground one by one, and the look of surprise in their eyes flickered from time to time.
After the inspection was completed, the guard returned to the two siblings and said, "Miss, young master, these weapons are of very good quality, and I estimate that many of them are weapons that can receive blessings." ”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the younger brother's face. The elder sister was more cautious than the younger brother, and asked, "Which level?" The guard thought for a moment before speaking, "There are two swords that have reached the priest level, and one two-handed sword that has reached the bishop level. ”
My sister took a breath of cold air, you must know that the weapons that can accept the blessing of the bishop level are all the pinnacle works of the master blacksmith, and they can actually be bought here?
But now, the problem of the two siblings is not whether they can buy practical equipment, but that they don't have enough money to buy it. Generally, a weapon that can receive the bishop's blessing can only be bought in the auction house, and it cannot be bought without hundreds of silver coins, let alone a two-handed sword with a large number of users. It seems that the only way to ask the boss to keep the goods and go home to tell his father that he can buy it himself.
While the two siblings were still discussing, there was another sound outside the door, followed by the doorbell. John found out when Selena first entered the door. Selena entered the door, looked at the two siblings and the guard, and trotted, "Big man, what are they here for?"
"They're here to buy gear," John said. It's not common to buy it directly from the workshop. ”
As he was talking, the two siblings came over and said, "Let's buy two one-handed swords first." John looked at the one-handed sword in his guard's hand and thought silently, "One hundred and fifty silver coins." ”
The two siblings took out a money bag, which was full of coins: "Here are two hundred silver coins, one hundred and fifty for the purchase of these two weapons, and the remaining fifty, which I hope will be used as a deposit for the two-handed sword." ”
John looked at the two-handed sword she was pointing at, "That's the one?"
The girl nodded: "I hope you can keep that two-handed sword for two days, two days at most." If we don't come to buy it after two days, you can sell the sword, and of course the money will not be returned. ”
John nodded, "That's fine, but I'll ship all this equipment to my shop, and you can come to my store and find me when the time comes." Then he gave the girl the address of his weapon shop in the commercial bazaar.
After the siblings had left with their guards, Selena and John loaded their weapons into the wagon, locked the door, and slowly walked towards the city.
"The big guys are really a nuisance, and they have to put these things on one by one. Selena said, "It would have been nice to let these two guys bring their weapons directly to the carriage." ”
John took the money bag and said, "Don't complain, now that we have the money, let's go to the shopping street and buy some food." ”
Selena took the money bag from John's hand: "You still say, they pay so quickly, obviously you sell it cheaply because of the big man." ”
John shrugged: "I think it's about the same, and the weapons I sell in another place are similar to this, and the price is cheaper." "That's a big stupid!" Selena tossed the money bag back into John's hand, "You're a big stupid." Saying that, he urged Bai Ma to hurry up and go to the commercial street: "I knew I wouldn't have come, I just came from the commercial market, and I'm going back again." ”
