The 'Ears Up' hotel in the city-state of Muya.

Barrett pushed open the door of the hotel, and the cold wind whistled into his neck, and Barrett tightened his black fur cloak and walked out.

At this time, the season on the mainland has entered winter, and although it has not snowed in the surrounding area of Muya City-State for the time being, the temperature of the air has become a little low.

The wide streets have become deserted than usual, and most of the roadside paving has moved into the houses or simply disappeared. Pedestrians are wrapped in thick cotton clothing or wool coats, but occasionally there are some races who are naturally frost-resistant, and wander around shirtless and fearlessly.

In the winter in Nord, snowfall is very frequent, but it rarely snows in the Garano area. The city-state of Muya was located further north than Garano, and Barrett had heard that it would also rain fluffy snowflakes from time to time.

Inside the pale pink magical barrier of the 'Floating City', it's spring all year round. It's a pleasant temperature, it's not cold, it's not hot, but Barrett doesn't want the continent to be like that.

The mages may have the ability to change the weather near the city-state, but they don't seem to be doing so. Somehow, Barrett was a little relieved by this.

At this time, our barbarian adventurer left the warm inn and prepared to go to Erica, the master tailor.

Erica is the client of the 'Crystal Lizard' mission, and Barrett wants her to help him make a new set of leather armor. Because the reward for that task included a free set of custom-made leather armor, but Barrett needed to provide the materials himself.

Of course, the new leather armor does not mean that he wants to rush to take on the task and do the task. Winter is coming, and Barrett actually wants to rest for a while.

In the past, Barrett never went out to work in the winter (unless he was really shy of money). Because of the peculiarity of the winter in the Misty Forest, not only him, but the vast majority of adventurers in Bay of Pigs have such a habit.

Over time, habits even became a kind of tradition.

When winter comes, adventurers huddle in the warm taverns for a rye beer and sit all day listening to the minstrels' quizzy tunes that are hotter than the fireplace.

Truth be told, Barrett occasionally misses such laid-back days.

......

Erika the Tailor's shop wasn't too far from the location of the Adventurer's Guild, separated by just one street. As Barrett was about to reach the Adventurers' Guild, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look down an alley on his right.

The old troll who told him the gossip and sold him a treasure map jumped out of the alley in front of him. But after that, Barrett never saw the old troll a second time, and he didn't know where he had gone.

He actually wanted to thank the old troll, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the Construct Raven 'Corn', and the subsequent quest might not have gone so well.

Erica's shop is called 'Second Skin', which is honestly not a good name, and even has a hint of sarcasm. But since Erica's tailoring skills are quite good, there are not a few adventurers who go there.

Barrett reached out and pushed open the door of the store, stepping into it with the crisp sound of the eaves bell.

There is no fireplace in the room, but it feels very warm. On one of the walls hung a metal garden disk of unknown material, the disc was drawn with a magic circle, embedded with magic stones, and the magic circle on it emitted a soft blue light, constantly radiating heat evenly outward.

It seems that this master tailor is also a rich man, and ordinary people are not willing to rely on alchemy items to keep warm by consuming magic stones. Barrett took off her long cloak and hung it on a hanger at the door.

"Oh, look who's coming! Isn't that my dear Barrett, welcome!" a middle-aged woman with long brown hair and rather thick arms stepped out of a nearby counter and looked at our brute adventurer with enthusiasm.

The middle-aged woman walked up to Barrett, reached out and pinched his face, and then gave the latter a big hug, "Long time no see, Barrett." ”

"Long time no see, Lady Erica. Barrett rubbed his face without a trace as he hugged him, and said in his heart that the lady's hand was really strong.

A tailor is no more tiring than a blacksmith, but it is undoubtedly a physical task. Those tough leathers need to be cut, shaped, sewn, some have to be embedded with iron nails, steel sheets, and even some leathers are like petrified cowhide, with very hard fine scales on the surface, which makes it more difficult to process, which must require a lot of physical strength.

"Are you here to make new leather armor, Barrett?" asked Lady Erica with a smile, "The 13 Crystalscale Lizard skins you brought me last time were made of very good material, and I haven't thanked you yet." In particular, the two purple-black mutated crystal-scale lizard skins made me pass the assessment of the Craftsman's Guild, and now, I am also a 'grandmaster'!" said Lady Erica smugly.

"Wow, congratulations! Then I should call you, Captain Tailor Erica!" Barrett quipped. The warm lady was very easy to get along with, and Barrett became acquainted with her after a few visits.

After the greetings, Barrett indicated his intention, "I really want you to help me make a new leather armor this time, and I have prepared the materials, but I don't know if I can use it." ”

He took out a large roll of cotton wrapped in the Ring of Space and placed it on the counter. Barrett then dismantled the cotton cloth, revealing the black and purple leather roll inside.

The leather was obtained by him from the hapless lich's lab, and had been identified by him in advance. None of the things in the tower looked like they were being attacked by negative energy, but Barrett didn't know if its material had changed.

The tailor Erica took a pair of glasses from the pocket of her dress, placed them on the bridge of her nose and adjusted them repeatedly, and then she looked down and stroked the purple-black leather.

After a while, Erica asked curiously, "Chimera's?"

"Yes, Chimera's!" Barrett nodded, "but this leather has been sealed for a long time. "At least hundreds of years, at least!" I don't know what the material has become now, and if it can still be used. ”

After hearing this, the Tailor Master looked down and looked at it carefully, and then looked up and said to Barrett with certainty, "Well, it's very well preserved. I don't know how long this roll of leather has been, but I can tell you that it's perfectly usable. ”

"That's great!" Barrett breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I'll tell you in advance that the Chimera's skin isn't really good at sword defense, and although it's certainly much higher than the cooked cowhide, you can't make three layers or more of leather armor like the cooked cowhide, so as to win in quantity. When it comes to the professional field, Erica's expression becomes quite solemn, "With your shape, this roll of leather is more than enough to make one layer of leather armor, but two layers are definitely not enough, you need to know this." ”

Later, the Tailor Grandmaster added, "Because the Chimera is a special magical beast, its skin is very good at defending against magical damage, and it is also very suitable for constant magic on it. So, you can make up for other deficiencies by enchanting leather armor. By the way, do you have a mage you know well?"

Familiar mage?Barry nodded, he had to trouble Krees again, but he didn't know how his enchanting skills were.
