The area of this shop is not large, and Su Wen can even faintly see the fire from the blast furnace in the workshop behind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The owner of the Info shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman with a sturdy build, a pair of rough arms covered with calluses indicating her blacksmith status.

In fact, there are hardly any big weapons shops in the Red Maple Town Market, and almost all of them are single-room shops with workshops. Su Wen couldn't help but feel a little strange: If we only talked about the flow of people coming and going, this place might not be much worse than Tridis City, and there were also many large and small private shops everywhere, so why couldn't we see a large-scale weapon store? There were several large grocery stores, and Su Wen had gone to see them, and the weapons sold there were not much better than those outside, and both the production process and the strength of the weapons were much worse than what he had seen before.

After hearing Su Wen's words, the middle-aged woman smiled and nodded at him honestly, then turned around and quickly climbed the low wooden ladder and removed a sturdy crate from the shelf.

"The standard dagger of the former Teutonic regiment. Customers, if you want pig iron level weapons, then these are the best too, 50 gold each, no bargaining. ”

Su Wen looked intently and saw the daggers soaked in knife oil in the box, and the quality of these daggers was more reliable than those shops in front of him. He picked up one of the semi-prismatic black military thorns, the blade on which was extremely sharp, and the blood groove was also polished to an extremely smooth surface, although it was difficult to judge whether its internal quality was good or bad from its appearance alone, but the system's identification function quickly gave the answer.

"Sharp pig iron dagger, ordinary quality, physical attack power 4-17, medium equipment strength, high attack speed, use requirements: none. Enchantment: None. ”

It's a very ordinary weapon, but its equipment strength is the highest level in Su Wen's sweep, and its physical attack power is even higher than the 250 gold "super weapon" recommended by a blackheart shop before. Su Wen knew that this dagger would definitely be able to meet his normal use, and there was a high probability that the "military-standard weapon" mentioned by the shopkeeper did not lie to him, but he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Terra Steel, do you have a dagger made of Terra Steel here?"

This is the information that Su Wen saw in the library, this special alloy material is almost the best material for making weapons at present, its appearance is similar to ordinary pig iron, but the hardness and rigidity are much stronger than the latter, it belongs to the product of the magic energy industry. It's no wonder that Su Wen always felt that something was missing: after two or three hours of shopping, he hadn't seen a weapon made of this material in any shop.

The blacksmith, who looked powerful, was stunned, then grinned and shook her head: "Guest, that thing is controlled by the state, and it is not allowed to be sold and traded. And even if it is not controlled, a small workshop like ours will not be able to get it. ”

Hey, is that so?

The blacksmith continued, "Terra Steel, Elemental Iron, and Magical Ore, these materials have come to an end, and ancient crafts like ours have declined. The nobles and the army can't look down on it, so they don't make a lot of money, and many forging techniques have been lost, and they can only barely eat until now...... Hehe, I'm sorry to complain so much, if you want to buy that kind of weapon, you should go to the underground shopping malls in the big cities. There is no market in Red Maple Town, and even if there is, it will not be taken out for sale. ”

The blacksmith's words were rough, but Su Wen quickly understood what was going on.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the impact of the magic energy revolution on the traditional forging process, but these advanced processes have a high threshold and are firmly monopolized by those in power. In this way, weapons made of traditional steel could not be supplied to the mid-to-high-end market, and could only be sold to mercenaries who did not have much spare money, and it was no wonder that the blacksmith industry did not decline.

This was the benefit of going out and walking more, these things Su Wen had never seen in the library, and if he hadn't come to the market in Red Maple Town in person, I'm afraid he would never have learned about this situation.

In the end, Su Wen still paid for the standard dagger taken out by the female blacksmith, after all, even if he had the heart to toss better goods, it would be a few days later. The mercenary mission you received by yourself seems to be easy, but after all, you still have to be prepared, and you can't go on the road empty-handed.

After buying some supplies that might be used, Su Wen realized that the gold coins he had spent had far exceeded his expectations, and only half of the 460 gold coins in his wallet were left. While sighing that he was really good at spending money, Su Wen pulled the crumpled clothes that were basically dry, and finally walked home.

......

I have to say that the black beast mercenary group that James joined was really generous, although he temporarily lent the house to Su Wen to recuperate, but in fact, he directly transferred the real estate certificate to his name. How can this be said to be a two-storey large residence, although it is not a prosperous area, but it also has a value of nearly 10,000 gold coins, and it is really said that it will be sent!

Su Wen knew that he didn't show anything worth spending a lot of effort to win over, at most he saved James' life, and by the way, he sold a favor to the head of the Black Beast Mercenary Group, and the reason why the other party made such a bold move was probably because he didn't take this residence seriously.

It seems that even if it is a wild way like a mercenary group, it will not be able to do it after it becomes bigger.

However, when he returned to his temporary "home", Su Wen always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange - if it was normal, even if Laetitia was idle, she would never leave her range of activities, let alone do something that Su Wen didn't even dare to think about to greet her master. But today, Su Wen saw Laetitia standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, and her angry gaze at herself.

"Owner, you should see what good things your pet has done. ”

Before she could get closer, Laetitia spoke angrily.

Eh, pets? What pets?

Su Wen was a little confused at first, but soon realized that Laetitia was most likely referring to the slime.

Before signing the undead contract with Su Wen, the slime had apparently been bombarded to slag by Donald's clone team and Nikolai's necromancer group, and could no longer die. After that, although the slime was "resurrected" because of the contract, Su Wenming confessed that its essence was still dead, so it didn't need to take in any nutrients, just water and light to live well.

Two days ago, Su Wen had moved the half-dead slime from the dark room to the balcony, and after that, it quickly recovered a lot of energy after getting plenty of sunlight. Su Wen even felt that he could often feel the joy of this little guy. He didn't know if it was because of the contract or if it was a simple illusion, but in short, apart from this inconspicuous feeling, Su Wen never noticed any changes in the contract to him.

So, what's wrong with this cute little creature?

Did you launch an attack on Laetitia?

Su Wen looked the half-elf maid up and down, and found that the maid dress on her body was very neat, and there was no abnormality such as humiliation in her expression except for anger, and there was no plot in the story with slimes and beauties as the protagonists, so while breathing a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Did anything happen, dear Laetitia?"

Seeing that the half-elf maid gradually became more and more unkind under her gaze, Su Wen hurriedly asked.

"In the bathroom, you go and see for yourself. ”

After Laetitia finished speaking, she ignored Su Wen.

She picked up the broom by the door and began to clean the courtyard. Su Wen knew that she was a very clean person, and even if it was a temporary residence, she would never allow any garbage to exist.

However, the bathroom sounded like a good place, and Su Wen's interest was successfully piqued. At the moment, he ignored Laetitia, who had significantly reduced his favorability of himself, and rushed straight into the house, trotting towards the bathroom.

However......

Despite his mental preparation, when Su Wen pushed open the door of the bathroom, he was still startled by the scene in his eyes.

A pool full of slimes!

Yes, the large bathtub large enough for two people to bathe together is filled with transparent, irregularly shaped, wriggling slimes. There wasn't much water in the bathtub, or maybe it was all absorbed into the slimes' stomachs, and Su Wen felt dizzy looking at the slimy and crystal clear creatures.

What about the "Slime Cookbook"?

Su Wen felt that he needed this book to suppress his shock.

But at this moment, an extremely clear and crisp voice exploded in Su Wen's mind.

"Daddy!"

......

......

After a long silence, Su Wen stared blankly at the pool of slimes, although there was no existence in this group of slimes who could speak, he knew that the crisp shout just now would definitely not come from somewhere else.

"Daddy, I'm your demon, I can feel you by my side. ”

The clear voice continued to sound.

Su Wen rushed to the edge of the bath with an arrow step, and then grabbed a slime casually, and the feeling of his hand was sticky and comfortable, like holding a ball of cold water.

"This is my proliferator, only then will I have enough energy to talk to you. Dad, I feel like you're scared of me, but if you don't, we won't be able to communicate with each other, and I'm too weak alone. ”

“...... Can you feel my thoughts?"

Su Wen threw the slime proliferator in his hand into the bathtub and said hesitantly into the bathtub.

"Not really, Daddy. You can feel my thoughts, but I can only feel your mood, and your position and state, and that has to be done through multiplication. ”

"I see. ”

Su Wen nodded, then stood up and reached out and pulled the plug on the bathtub.

"Mind if I rush you down?"

He asked expressionlessly.

"Please, Dad, why do you do that, is it a bad thing for us to communicate with each other?"

"Don't call me Daddy, I don't have a son like you. ”

"Dad, I'm a female, if I use you, I should be a daughter. ”

"Ah, yes, that's pretty good...... I'll count to three, and you'll either jump out of the tub or you'll be washed down with your proliferator. ”

Just kidding, without professional guidance, Su Wen didn't dare to touch a completely unfamiliar field at will.

How did he know that this slime was sincerely calling him daddy, and not trying to take advantage of the opportunity to eat him? Even if it was unlikely that this would happen because of the contract, Su Wen would never allow the possibility of escape.

So, until I officially become a necromancer, I don't care if you're male or female, and I'll be honest and stay in the jar.
