Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 249 Windfall

Suren of the leather shop has reopened its doors.

The arrival of winter has gradually deserted business, but Su Lun is still open, after all, the business of repairing some leather armor is better than no revenue after all, and more importantly... After the death of Viscount Tranca, the current town of Kig is in a state of no tax collection, and compared to the high taxes in the past, he is naturally willing to take advantage of this time to earn more money.

Of course, what Su Lun cares more about is Luo Di's whereabouts.

It's been three days since Roddy entered the leather shop and fought for a while, but Suren's heart still can't calm down...

When he went to the tavern to buy wine two days ago, he naturally heard the legendary "archer" that everyone was talking about, Su Lun was not stupid, and he was almost immediately sure that this guy was Roddy

Although the "Sharpshooter" in people's mouths is powerful, in just a few words, Su Lun can combine everything he has witnessed to guess what Roddy has done...

Single-handedly leading away hundreds of infantry, trapped in the enemy formation, but taking the initiative to create an opportunity to encircle and annihilate, breaking through and successfully counter-killing several times the enemy's army, such a thing used to only be sung in the mouth of the bard, but now... But it's a real fact that everyone can see

Sitting in the middle of the shop, Suren's eyes always involuntarily looked at the window next to himβ€”the mark on the wooden frame that Roddy had pierced with an arrow was unusually clear, and the dense sound of string control still seemed to echo in his ears

"Did you kill Earl Owen..."

The enemy many years ago was dealt with in this way, and now Su Lun has a feeling of unreality - is that the real earl said that he was hacked to death?

"Crunchβ€”"

The wooden door was pushed open, and a mercenary with a full face stepped on the mud on his feet, and shouted in an open voice, "Where is the dwarf? Came out and had a business."

Su Lun was right behind the counter, even though he wasn't tall, but the mercenary could definitely see it, so this shout was obviously ironic The cobbler's brows furrowed, and finally replied in a somewhat stiff tone: "I'm here." ”

"Bang"

A stack of leather armor was thrown in front of Su Lun, "Sixteen pieces of leather armor, repair it that should be repaired, and deliver it within a week." ”

This mercenary didn't give Su Lun any face at all, and his tone seemed to be calling people, but Su Lun could only grit his teeth and endure it - because this guy was a member of the "Wolverine Mercenary Group".

The reality is that since there are not enough hole cards to fight against, the only way to survive in peace in the face of such a tough guy is to swallow your anger.

Although the "Wolverine Mercenary Group" is not arrogant to the point of wanton killing, Su Lun understands that the only thing to provoke the other party is the closure of his own shop, and he wants to resist? In addition to scolding a few words, I guess I can't even beat the guy in front of me.

"The old rule, if you repair it, deposit three silver coins."

Su Lun tried to restrain his anger and whispered.

"Shorty, are you stupid?"

The mercenary stretched out his finger and pointed to the "Wolverine Mercenary Regiment" insignia on his chest, "Look what this is?" Are you talking to me about terms? ”

"Three silver coins."

Su Lun's stubbornness also came up, and his eyes glared at the guy in front of him, "It used to be like this. ”

"It used to be before, and now no one in Kiger Town collects taxes, let's just collect it, who collects it? I don't understand this rule, and your store is almost open. ”

The other party reached out and knocked on the counter as he spoke, throwing a handful of copper coins, "The head of the regiment takes care of your business, don't be embarrassed." ”

The crackling copper coins that fell on the counter made Su Lun's face red, this kind of copper coin with very poor quality can only be exchanged for l silver coins, and his handful is only B copper coins, which is equivalent to the price of even a silver coin.

What Su Lun wants - a silver coin is just a deposit, and it usually takes 9 silver coins to repair it all... So at the moment, these B copper coins are simply asking for food.

This kind of behavior is so deceitful that Su Lun's lips trembled, and he was about to scold the other party angrily, but he was interrupted by the door that was pushed open againβ€”he turned his head, but what he wanted to say came to an abrupt end...

Roddy, who was wearing a hood, walked into the store and greeted Su Lun calmly: "See you again."

His gaze stayed on the mercenary next to him for a moment, and then he said, "You are busy first, don't worry about me."

With that, he walked by himself, looking very leisurely.

This feeling was exactly the same as when he shot an arrow out of the window a few days ago, and he just stood there plainly, which made Su Lun feel a compelling momentum - not only him, but even the mercenaries of the "Wolverine Mercenary Regiment" noticed this... This guy didn't know the identity of Luo Dao, and seemed to want to say something, but he paused, and finally turned the spearhead to Su Lun again: "That's all, you can do it yourself."

"I said, three silver coins."

Su Lun had already planned to compromise, but when he saw Luo Di standing beside him, he suddenly felt a sense of courage in his heart, and he actually pushed those copper coins back by a ghost, and forcibly stopped the mercenary's footsteps.

"Shorty... Will you tell me again? ”

Without waiting for Su Lun to speak, the mercenary grabbed the copper coin and threw it at him, "You don't want to open this shop, do you?" ”

Su Lun leaned back, and the copper coin smashed on his body, which hurt a little, but looking at the other party's annoyed and angry look, he felt a kind of pleasure inexplicably.

The death of Earl Owen, I really want to give myself the guts... It's getting bigger.

Roddy didn't plan to be nosy, but when he looked back, he found that he had to make a precautionary moveβ€”because the other party actually drew his sword and slashed at Su Lun

This gave Roddy a headache tightly... Suren can't die, and this "special NPC" can be much more useful than the average grocer. So he immediately drew his sword, and the mercenary's short sword was easily flicked away, and then he looked at the mercenary in front of him and said, "You're going too far, aren't you?" ”

"Who are you? Do you know what Lao Tzu's identity is? ”

The short sword was shattered, and the mercenary shouted loudly, but his eyes revealed a little jealousy, he originally just wanted to cut a mark on the counter and threaten Su Lun, but Luo Di blocked it so casually, but it made his mouth tremble, and as a mercenary, he immediately became alert.

Although he was unforgiving, he already had a sense of retreat in his heart.

"I don't know what to do."

Roddy shrugged, "But if you're going to cut someone, I don't agree." ”

"Okay, you wait"

Just like saying ruthless words after a street thug fight, this mercenary knew that he was not an opponent, so he wisely chose to retreat, but when his eyes turned to Su Lun, he stretched out his finger and pointed: "If you have the ability, continue to drive."

Su Lun spat and watched as the guy picked up his leather armor and left, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

The other party stamped his leather boots as if he was deliberately demonstrating, but before he could go out, he was paused by a figure who walked in - Nata, dressed in a leather coat, walked into the store in silence, wearing a thick fur cloak, the hood covering the pointed ears of the wood elves, and her mouth was wrapped in a scarf. Although half of her pretty face is covered, as long as you are a human with normal vision, you can see how much Nata's face has brought disaster to the country and the people...

The mercenary who was about to go out immediately froze in place, staring straight at Nata with his two eyes, while the wood elf ignored him at all, walked to Roddy's side and whispered something, and then stood silently aside, completely like a follower.

The sight made the mercenary swallow, and his heart moved, and he looked up at Roddy, and then left the leather shop with a sneer.

Roddy, perceiving all this, did not react, because he had no interest in paying attention to such an inconsequential little character.

Turning his gaze to Su Lun, he was a little curious: "Where did that person come from?" ”

"The Wolverine mercenary group, after Tranca's death, has become more and more excessive, saying that he wants to collect taxes for the nobles... As if they were lords. ”

Su Lun didn't know the specific identity of Dao Luodi, he only vaguely knew that Luo Dao Luo Di had some relationship with the "Baron Sodrore" who was in the limelight, but the two really didn't exchange a few words, and his complaints at this time were also unintentional.

Luo Di felt a little interesting, looked out the door thoughtfully, and then asked, "You didn't need to continue to provoke him just now, did you?" Isn't it appropriate to open the door to do business? ”

"Doing business is doing business, not being a pig and dog for others, and if they continue like this, it's a big deal that I won't do it." Su Lun thought of the guy's face just now, and said hatefully: "After so many years of swallowing my anger, if I continue like this, I'm afraid that others will only treat me as a turtle." ”

As he spoke, Suren took out Roddy's armor pieces and placed them on the counter and asked, "The thing is here, there's something I want to ask - Earl Owen... Did you kill you? ”

"Yes." Roddy nodded, "He's a lackey of the necromancer, and he's been slain on the battlefield by Baron Saudlore. ”

Hearing this, Su Lun reached out and took out another package without saying a word, and pushed it in front of the ground: "I've collected some rare leather over the years, but now I think about it, it's actually useless, you can take it together." ”

Seeing Roddy's stunned expression, he said bluntly: "I have a grudge against Owen, and now the revenge has been avenged, and there is nothing else, these materials should be able to help you make good equipment." ”

Only then did Roddy understand what he was doing this, he flipped through the [task bar] casually, and saw that there was indeed a task related to Su Lun with the word "completed" written on it, so he took the package with peace of mind, opened it casually, and a blue word instantly dazzled his eyes - all of these things were "excellent" materials, and they were all processed by Su Lun...

In other words, if you use these things to make some leather armor, you can make the best equipment to improve the effect of your skills

And it's not much better than those lizard skins

This is definitely a gain that Luo Di didn't expect, he was stunned, but he looked up and asked, "Have you ever thought about establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with me?" ”

He reached out and took out the elf fruit wine that had been prepared from behind his back, "There are better rewards, and more supplies, and... More fine wines. ”

"Oh? Is it under the administration of Baron Sodrore? ”

Su Lun was actually a little confused in his heart at this time, he was not very interested in making leather goods, just as a skill to support his family, hearing Luo Di say this, he was a little indifferent - after all, as a citizen of the territory, the fate he has is to struggle to survive under the protection of one lord after another.

This is something that all civilians cannot avoid.

But he didn't expect that Roddy gave an unexpected answer: "No, if you are willing to cooperate, then it is up to me." ”

"And... I'm going to do something that's completely different from what you think. ”
