Chapter 64, beyond imagination

The news that the Kingdom of Thrace was about to attack the Duchy of Layton did not spread, but the news that "the kingdom is going to take advantage of the winter to launch a large-scale exercise, and it is expected that there will be a severe need to fight the cold" has already spread among well-informed people.

Because of this, the middle and senior officers in the army are preparing cold-proof equipment, and those aristocratic young people who want to participate in this exercise and strive to get ahead are also looking for suitable equipment.

In general, cold protection gear is not difficult to find. If you walk around the shops in Thrace, you can find at least a hundred. But for the situation at the moment, hundreds of pieces of equipment were simply not enough - the officers themselves needed equipment and had to prepare equipment for the personal guards, and the nobles had to prepare equipment for themselves and for their own guards.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is a pro-guard or a guard, it is enough to have ordinary Seiko armor. But if you want to fight in a cold environment, not to mention them, even the servants who maintain the equipment, and even the knights' war horses, all need a piece of equipment that can protect them from the cold.

As a result, the demand is very large, so big that it catches various businesses off guard.

In this case, those who are really well-informed, of course, have been prepared for a long time, and secretly laugh at the moment, many of them also took the opportunity to sell some of the cold-proof equipment purchased in advance at a high price, and really made a quick profit.

Of course, the various chambers of commerce reacted quickly and hurriedly allocated cold-proof equipment from various places. However, in a hurry, there was no time to dispatch a lot. As a result, the price of cold-proof equipment has risen again and again, and many of those who have made money before can't help but buy cold-proof equipment again, ready to sell it when the price rises a little more, and make a little more or less money.

In this case, there is a chamber of commerce that has put out more than 60 pieces of cold-proof equipment in one go, all of which are bracelets, which are divided into two categories: exothermic and cold-absorbing, but in general, the effect is almost the same, and even the style is almost identical.

Among all kinds of magical equipment, bracelets are the most accessible to the people. One is relatively low manufacturing cost, unlike magic armor and the like, attaching a demon is a lot of money, and the other can wear two, taking into account both effects, which is very convenient.

It's just that only the effect of heat release or cold absorption is attached to the bracelet, which is very rare.

Unless it's specific to a specific situation, such magical equipment is simply meaningless, and those who have money naturally need better equipment, and those who don't have money - it's better not to run to a cold place.

But now, it happens to be a "specific situation".

The price of these bracelets is not very high, roughly equivalent to the current average price is slightly lower, and they are almost sold out as soon as they are put on the table. Many people who got the news hurried to arrive, but they could only sigh at the empty shelves.

However, the shop guy secretly revealed that the boss had found several skilled alchemists who were working overtime to make this equipment, and it wouldn't be long before a second batch would hit the shelves.

Everyone is not surprised, in fact, all chambers of commerce are doing such things. It's just that alchemy enchantment is not so easy after all, even if it is shoddy, an alchemist can make one or two pieces of equipment at most a day, and this time more than sixty pieces of equipment will be released in one go, I am afraid that it has been a reserve for a long time, and it is not easy to make another batch in the near future!

This kid, the cowhide is blowing quite big!

However, the next morning, cold bracelets appeared on the shelves of that chamber of commerce, this time more than the last time, one hundred and fifty pieces.

An aristocratic young man who came to see the goods early in the morning with a little hope happily bought about twenty of them, and he said that he needed them, a few of his friends needed them, everyone's subordinates needed them, and everyone's horses were ...... Forget about the horses, just walk.

Then, the panic buyers flocked to it, and in less than half an hour, the shelves were empty again.

The guy said the same as before, but this time, no one thought he was bragging.

On the third day, before dawn, there was already a long queue in front of the store, and at least hundreds of people were huddled together, scrambling to be the first. If it weren't for the city defense officer to wake up and bring a team of soldiers over to maintain order, I'm afraid that the fight would have started a long time ago.

When the store opened, there were cold bracelets on the shelves again!

There are more than 200 cold-proof bracelets sold this time!

I bought the goods before, and those who want to buy more this time compare the bracelets they bought twice, and find that these bracelets seem to be made in a mold, and the style is exactly the same, not to mention the size and pattern, even the weight is no different, and the difference will not exceed the weight of a bean.

This is a bit incredible, even if the blank is uniformly created, but the weight of the pen when engrave the magic array, the amount of consumables used, the size and number of inlaid gemstones...... There are differences between them, and a difference of twenty or thirty percent between two magic bracelets of the same style is commonplace, but the difference like this is very small, very rare, and even a little weird.

They didn't know that Binglin privately criticized these bracelets, and the main criticism was "insufficient processing accuracy".

"I've given them all the drawings, and the error can be more than one percent, what the hell!" he complained more than once, "This kind of worker is only worthy of being sent to a small country workshop to give people a hand, to make some cheats and fools of copycats, no company with even the slightest motivation would want this kind of person!"

In this regard, Panda smiled and persuaded him not to be so angry - after all, those craftsmen in this world are not at the level of some small country workshops.

Considering the tools they use, perhaps their machining accuracy is not as good as that of a small country workshop.

Jaime was surprised and even shocked by Binglin's complaints.

He never imagined that the format of the enchanted equipment could be so uniform, not only did it look like it was made in the same mold, but in fact there was almost no difference.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even dare to think about this kind of thing!

It's completely beyond imagination!

But after thinking about it, he took it for granted.

The blank is poured in a uniform mold, and the silver sheet that wraps the blank is of uniform thickness, uniform pattern, unified carving, unified wrapping, unified inlay—according to Mr. Iro's suggestion, he divided the craftsmen into several categories, some for making the blank, some for making the silver, some for carving the silver, some for the silver, and some for the inlay. Even the gemstones are carefully selected, and there is almost no difference in size.

As for the enchantment, because dozens of them are enchanted together, the grasp of the consumables is also quite accurate - ordinary alchemists enchant the consumables by hand, and the difference is just as good. But Mr. Ilo weighs it carefully with a balance and uses it strictly in proportion.

The same raw materials, the same magic array, the same proportion of consumables, the same caster - what comes out in the end will of course be exactly the same.

This seems to be something unimaginable, but in fact, it makes sense, and it is not surprising.
