Chapter 583: Raising the Armor Deposit
"This kind of armor? well...... the person in charge carefully looked at the armor manufacturing drawings in Gelot's hand for a few minutes, then thought for a while and said: "Two thousand P points as half of the deposit in advance, we will make it completely for you within a week, and when the time comes, you can pay us the remaining half of the two thousand P points." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"So expensive?" Galot frowned slightly, he remembered that he didn't need to spend so much when he ordered various weapons and equipment here in the first few times: short weapons such as short knives were sold at the Teutonic camp military factory for a price of only a few tens of P coins at most, and the pulley steel crossbow that could be quickly reloaded and the corresponding number of steel crossbow arrows for cavalry all added up to 300 P coins, and the steel two-handed sword ordered here at the beginning was almost 400 P coins, and the most recent steel core silver-plated two-handed sword was a thousand P coins, and also put on a lot of bio-type magic materials and herbs that had not had time to trade for money at that time, because it required several lich mages to be responsible for inscribed rune characters on the silver-plated sword body to have a certain magical effect, and the price would not be so expensive...... Then such a set of light armor would require a total of 4,000 P coins to make, which made Gallott puzzled.
"It's going to be expensive, because the short knives, the steel two-handed swords and some other messy gadgets you ordered before can be mass-produced through the assembly line, and the cost price is not high, so naturally the price you need to pay is much lower. The person in charge replied with his hands outstretched, and then pointed to the steel-core silver-plated two-handed sword from the Teutonic Arsenal that Galot was now carrying behind his back. Although the steel core silver-plated two-handed sword you are carrying now is no different from other steel two-handed swords, it requires quite complex technology to gild and enchant, and it will cost a lot of money just to get those Lich Mages to help, and this is still based on the premise that His Majesty allows our military factory personnel and a small number of Lich Mages to make all kinds of weapons and equipment you have customized for you for a fee, otherwise you will not even have the opportunity to order weapons and equipment from us. β
"Hah, that's true. Gelot put away the drawings in his hand, and then put them back behind his waist, "I only have a little more than a thousand dollars of P coins in cash on hand now, and it seems that I don't even have enough deposit, so I can't book it with you first?"
"Rules are rules, after all, and while I would like to help you book them in advance from a personal point of view, I don't want to try the punishment of violating one of the rules and regulations laid down in the Teutonic camp myself, knowing that I am quite satisfied with my current position and do not want to be kicked out yet. The person in charge shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Anyway, every time you come here, you will bring a lot of bio-type magic materials and herbs in exchange for a large amount of money, just for your way of making money, it will be enough to save enough money for the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Pretty much the same, the indefinite acquisition of all kinds of bio-type magic materials and relatively rare herbs decomposed from different monsters here is not quite the same as the situation in the world I was in. "After hearing the words of the person in charge, Gallott's expression didn't seem to change too significantly," If my original world had a place where I could buy a lot of these types of things, I might not wander around all the time looking for a commission from a demon hunter who could make money, but would stay in one area and hunt a small number of monsters every day like a normal hunter and sell them until all the monsters in the entire area were gone or the rest would almost completely disappear in the eyes of the locals, and then I would wander to the next area and continue the process. β
"It sounds like you're not going to have a hard time making a living in your old world, but while there aren't that many monsters or beasts that frequently harass or even kill humans, you can live pretty well here. The person in charge waved his right hand, "Even if you can't make money here from a special demon hunter commission, the group of lich mages in the headquarters fort who spend their days studying in the underground magic laboratory will be happy to buy fresh bio-type magic materials and herbs from you." And...... If you don't continue to order all kinds of weapons and equipment from time to time, your harvest outside in one day will be enough to keep you fed and clothed for the next three or four days. β
"Hah, so it's hard to understand these things thoroughly. Gallott spread his hands, and then stretched out his right hand to the person in charge, "The nine hundred p coins will be returned to me first, and I will come back when I have made up the deposit." β
"Well, then. The person in charge nodded, and returned the bulging money bag to Gallott.
"Until next time. After tying the purse back to the belt behind his waist, Gelott turned his back to the person in charge and walked in the direction outside the munitions factory.
"The hunt went well, Demon Hunter. β
The distance between the Teutonic camp and the two places in the human world is only more than forty kilometers, and it only takes more than half an hour for Gailot to ride Roch to return from the Teutonic camp to the range of the human world, which is not a long way. Since the road was frequented by people coming and going from both places, the human workers of the Teutonic camp also repaired and expanded the road during this time, so that the circulation between the two places was greatly accelerated, at least the normal movement of ordinary pedestrians on foot or on foot was increased, and it was also convenient for the cavalry and infantry units of the Teutonic camp to move on a large scale and quickly.
This wide road connecting the Teutonic camp and the two places in the world was first built when the Teutonic camp needed to frequently send various Teutonic cavalry units to the field to carry out the task of clearing and eradicating, at that time the road between the two places was just ordinary dirt land, and any horse ran over it directly and the soil grew like a small sandstorm, and when it rained and snowed, the road was completely impossible to walk, either into muddy ground or into frozen land, belonging to the type of road that could not pass without heavy equipment such as super snow plows in heavy rain and snow...... Therefore, Feng Longde, who realized this, asked the human workers to be responsible for rebuilding the road that was purely trodden by countless pairs of big feet, in addition to building the various infrastructure of the Teutonic camp itself, so that the road connecting the Teutonic camp and the human world was now wide and straight, and it was convenient for the circulation between the two places. Of course, facilitating the large-scale and rapid movement of the Teutonic army in the two places is the main reason why Feng Longde is determined to rebuild this road, otherwise it is just difficult to walk, he will not be responsible for spending so much money and materials and sending personnel to rebuild this road, otherwise he will have to be responsible for building several roads in the whole of Gensokyo......
"Ha, it seems that large roads that can reach such a level are only more common in the territory of the Nilfgaard Empire in the south, and in the north, it seems that Novigre has a little, but they are either intermittent or concentrated in the urban area. Riding Roch back to the small courtyard behind the tavern, Gelot jumped off Roche's horse, handing Roche's reins to the groom who worked there, and entered the tavern through the back door.
It was already about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the tavern was slowly becoming lively due to the increasing number of people: although it was still too early for the rest of the ordinary human inhabitants who were still busy in the fields or other places outside the village, it was the right time for the Teutonic soldiers in the Teutonic camp and the Teutonian soldiers stationed in the human world to guard and maintain law and order. In addition to the Teutonic soldiers who were now on duty in shifts, the Acropolis soldiers from the Teutonic camp and the Boghall soldiers temporarily stationed in the human world all gathered on the first floor of the tavern, and many of them gathered in groups of three or five to eat and chat in other restaurants, or simply go back to their respective homes to reunite with their relatives, and do everything.
When Gelot entered the first floor of the tavern, nearly three-quarters of the tables on the first floor of the tavern were occupied by Teutonic soldiers from several different companies or detachments, and the few tables that were left were mostly occupied by ordinary drinkers, and it was a little difficult for him to find an unmanned table to be alone for a while.
"Boss, do you have any spare tables here? I want to be alone for a while. After a general glance around the first floor, Gallott, who found no empty seats, could only avoid the waitresses and drinkers crowding in front of the counter as much as possible, and asked the tavern keeper, who was wiping his wine glass with a rag.
"Master Demon Hunter, it's a misfortune that you're here now, as you know, this is the time when the Teutonic soldiers who are resting in shifts start drinking and resting with me, and their overall numbers won't change much for quite some time. The tavernkeeper's answer to Gallott's question did not prevent him from skillfully wiping the wine glass in his hand with a rag, and by the way, after thoroughly wiping it down, he poured him a glass of whiskey, "They have always trained in shifts and rested in shifts, so they can't leave until eight o'clock in the evening, otherwise they will only leave one batch and a new one will come in at the same time, and I have been thinking about whether to find a suitable time to expand the first floor of the tavern, otherwise I really can't accommodate them......"
The reason why Galllot is now called the Master of Demon Hunters by the Tavern Keeper is similar to the situation when he occasionally met some people who revered or respected Demon Hunters in his original world, because during this period of time, he has been entrusted to complete them one by one on the notice wall in the central square of the world, which makes the first impression of most ordinary human residents of him quite good, plus almost all the ordinary human residents here do not particularly attach importance to the so-called ethnic and racial issues, so it is natural that Galllot is respected here to a certain extentγ
In a place like Gensokyo, where strength is respected, a demon hunter like Gallott, who has not weak strength and a lot of knowledge, will be feared by ordinary human residents at most, but he will never and dare not have any discriminatory mentality and ideas, so Gallot, who is a guy who stays quietly at the table near the corner on the first floor of the tavern every day in addition to hunting, or is stuffed in a personal room on the second floor of the tavern and doesn't know what to do, will not meet any guy who discriminates against demon hunters or even has a lot of hostility at any time like when he was still in the original world, and every day can be regarded as peaceful- Of course, this is judged by the standards of demon hunters, and for the vast majority of ordinary people, Gallott still has enough time to walk between life and death every day.
"I also see it, boss, your business here is quite good, and you don't seem to need to worry about how much business you have. Feng Longde held the counter with one hand, and with the other hand, he picked up the wine glass and drank the whiskey inside, "Ahem...... Hah, so it's hard to find an empty seat on the first floor of the tavern right now?"
"Not really, Master Demon Hunter. The tavernkeeper shook his head and gestured to a table in the far corner, "There is only one man sitting and drinking alone, and no other drinkers or Teutonic soldiers have come to him to share the table, as if he is very difficult to deal with...... However, the rest of the table is overcrowded, and if you want an empty seat to sit in, you'll have to ask him if he can share a table, Master Demon Hunter. β
"Okay, I'll try it. Gallott nodded, he had only glanced at it a few times with his eyes and hadn't used the Demon Hunter senses, so he hadn't noticed at first that there was a table in the corner where only one person was sitting.
Avoiding the ladies with plates and glasses, as well as the swaying drinkers and Teutonic soldiers, Gelot looked at the drinker as he walked over, and saw that it was a tall man in a pure black hooded cape, which obscured his entire face, but did not delay him from raising his glass from time to time.
Just as Gaerot was squeezing around the table to speak, the drinker lifted his hood behind his head, revealing a rugged face without the slightest hair on his scalp: "I haven't seen you in a while, white wolf." (To be continued.) )
