Chapter 520: Mending the Twin Swords and Heading to the Headquarters Fort
"Whew!" Putting the shiny steel two-handed sword back into its scabbard, Garrow nodded in satisfaction, then put the repaired steel two-handed sword back behind his back, and then picked up the steel-core silver-plated two-handed sword that had just been repaired and polished by military technicians from the workbench next to him, and checked the effect of its repair and polishing.

After the Teutonic artilleryman led him to the weapons factory in this rather large area of the arsenal on his orders, Gelot was drawn to the various weapons that were being produced here and were lined up in weapons racks and equipment boxes: steel maxi lances, battle axes, halberds, shields of all kinds, mazes, maces, and many other weapons that looked strange and unknown for unknown purposes were mass-produced here, and then transported by the staff here in whole boxes - As far as Gelllot knew, this collectivized method of military weapons production would only be adopted by the commercial metropolis of Novigre and the Nilfgaard Empire, which unified the southern part of the continent, and that the other kingdoms and regions of the continent were either completely unaware of the efficiency of this mode of production or had no conditions to carry it out, but Gelot had once again seen this assembly line production in the Teutonic camp here.
What weapons are produced here, Gallott doesn't care about this, all he cares about is whether he can repair and polish the steel and silver swords behind his back that have been used for a period of time and have a certain degree of wear, and whether he can order some new weapons here.
When the Teutonic artilleryman announced Von Ronde's order to the person in charge here, Gelot's two two-handed swords, one steel and one silver, were taken to repair and polish, and Gelot also asked the person in charge if he could spend money to build a few new two-handed swords: among the many weapons produced here that Galot saw were all kinds of sword weapons, short swords, one-handed swords, Half-swords and Teutonic two-handed greatswords, both rugged and sophisticated, were produced in batches, and in Gelot's eyes, each of these various sword weapons was of a quality comparable to the craftsmanship of the dwarven blacksmith master and the rare Orphil master weaponsmith, and it was not unreasonable for Galot not to be impressed by themβfor the demon hunters, in addition to the shiny metal coins, the most attractive thing was the well-honed longsword and galloping horses.
However, after hearing the quotation of the person in charge here for various sword weapons, Gallott had to temporarily dispel the idea of buying or ordering sword weapons here: for no other reason, no matter what kind of weapon it is, the price is expensive enough, if Gallott really orders a steel two-handed sword cast by the Teutonic military factory with the best forging process here, at least the P coins in his current money bag will only be enough for him to eat and drink in the tavern in the world for a day. The coins that Nefgad Furon and Temoria Oren had exchanged for and Caroline had paid for the Skulls were almost all spent, and Gaerot had a habit of keeping a certain amount of money on him to make sure he didn't have to worry too much about the cost of living until he found and completed the next lucrative mission, so he had to give it up for the time being.
Although he couldn't come up with enough money to order a new steel and silver sword, as well as other weapons, Galot still had the confidence to pay for the existing weapons to be repaired and polished here, so he quickly got the re-repaired steel and silver double sword in a short period of time, and now he was checking the effect.
After being inspected by Gelot himself, he withdrew the steel-core, silver-plated two-handed sword into its scabbard, put it back behind his back, and said to the person in charge who was not far away waiting for the results, "The repair and polishing work very well, these two swords are in better condition than when I first got them cast." β
"I dare not say that the quality of the weapons and equipment produced by the Teutonic Arsenal is absolutely the best, but in the territory of Gensokyo, no other force can surpass us in forging technology and metallurgical technology. The person in charge replied confidently, apparently confident in his own production technology.
"This is the money that has been agreed to be paid. Gallott took the money pouch from his waist, counted the corresponding value of coins, and handed it to the person in charge here.
"If you have enough money, you can order the type of weapon you want next time you come here, and as long as we can produce it here and pay for it in full, we will produce it for you, after all, you are currently the only outsider whose Majesty the King allows weapons to be purchased here. The person in charge here took the coins, counted them, made sure they were enough, put them in a small cash box, and told a staff member to store them in the treasury of the military factory, and said to Gelott.
"I'll think about it, goodbye. Gaerot nodded, waved goodbye, and then turned and walked out of the munitions factory.
The Teutonic artilleryman who was in charge of leading the way was still waiting at the gate of the arsenal, and when he saw Gelot coming out, he greeted him: "Demon hunter, your weapons are all repaired?"
"It's patched so I don't have to worry about whether my weapon will break while fighting monsters. Gelot replied lightly, and then stepped onto Rochi's horse, "What are you doing here? Your Majesty has orders for you to fulfill, such as keeping an eye on my actions here?"
"Pretty much, after all, if there's an unknown outsider staying here, everyone will be wary, right?" the Teutonic artilleryman shrugged, "but don't worry, Demon Hunter, as long as you don't cause trouble here, His Majesty will just send a vacation soldier like me who has nothing to do to follow you to see what you do." β
"I didn't send a whole bunch of guards to follow, but just sent you alone to keep an eye on me, and that's really thanks to His Majesty's magnanimity. Gallott replied coldly that the situation he had encountered when he entered most of the towns in the world he had been in was similar, but it was harsher and more hostile than the current situation in the Teutonic camp, which at best ensured that he would not get into trouble and could provide him with a fee to repair and purchase weapons.
"Ha, it sounds like you're still a little dissatisfied, but you can't help it, the Teutonic camp is at war now, and it's inevitable that you will be wary of strangers who come here. The Teutonic artilleryman said, then turned and raised his right hand to make a 'follow me' gesture, "Demon hunter, you should still be planning to buy some magic potions and magic materials, right? β
"Okay. Gelot nodded and rode Roch behind the Teutonic artilleryman, and asked, "The Nether Queen and the Lich Mages live in the Headquarters Fort?"
"Not only Her Highness and the Lich Mages, but His Majesty, His Majesty's friends, and the knights of the Guard live in the Headquarters Fort, the heart of the Teutonic camp. The Teutonic artilleryman said, adjusting the tightness of the belt around his waist to restrain his light chain mail and black cross robe on his body. Magical potions, alchemical products, and the purchase of various synthetic crystals will be gathered in a specific room on the first floor of the Headquarters Fort, where there is a lich mage who specializes in this aspect of the transaction, from whom you can get the price of all the goods that can be sold externally, as well as information about the origin of various magical materials, and you can collect them yourself and sell the excess to the Teutonic camp when the time comes. β
"Sounds like you've developed a well-established system for trading magical materials, a bit like the Novigre Merchant Guild. Gaerot nodded.
"Novigre?" asked the Teutonic artilleryman curiously.
"I used to live in a big commercial city in the world, where there were many merchants, and they were very good at doing business. Gallott explained a little, and then changed the subject: "By the way, the 'Knights of the Guard' you mentioned...... The heavily-armored knight you met when you took me to the perimeter of that training ground and walked into the training ground to inform us that we were coming?"
"That's right, they belong to the King's Guard, and they are the knights of the Guard who fight with His Majesty the King on the battlefield. The Teutonic artilleryman nodded heavily, and his tone sounded very respectful, "Also, those Guard Knights are the Black Knights of the Dead, not human. β
"Black Knights?the deceased?are all the guards and knights around your majesty not human?" Gallott was slightly stunned after hearing the Teutonic artilleryman's answer, although he knew that there were many non-human races in the Teutonic camp when he talked to the Teutonic samurai flag captain Jiro Eguchi when he first met him, but he really didn't expect that the leaders who could reach this place and the guards accompanying him were all non-human races, "You guys are particularly friendly and trusting to non-human races here?"
"Look at what I said, His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness are not human beings at all, and there is nothing wrong with the fact that all the knights of the guard around him are black knights among the deceased. The Teutonic artilleryman glanced back at Galot in surprise, as if it was strange that the demon hunter behind him would ask such a question, "And this is Gensokyo, all kinds of demons and monsters and things that don't make sense exist here, and the most important thing is that we ordinary humans are on the weak side in this place...... Whether it's a human or a youkai, or other non-human races, if you want to live peacefully, you can only try to coexist peacefully, otherwise Gensokyo will not have a day of peace to spend, but will be filled with all kinds of bloody conflicts and even large-scale wars, then everyone will be uncomfortable. β
"Sounds like you're supposed to be a local here, were you born in that town on Earth?" Gallott waved his hand noncommittally, and then asked, diverting the topic that was easy to get entangled in the point of no return.
"Yes, I was an ordinary carpenter in the world before I became a Teutonic artilleryman in the Teutonic army, and both my parents were Germanic. The Teutonic artilleryman nodded in reply.
"What do you think of this place? I mean this place called Gensokyo, not just the Teutonic camp. Gallott asked, then shook the reins a few times, keeping Lotch at an even pace.
"For ordinary humans who don't have much strength, in addition to taking into account the common things in daily life, living here must always be careful about the environment outside the village, and if you want to go out to do something, it is best to go with other people...... In this way, every year in the past, a dozen to dozens of unlucky or unlucky guys were attacked by monsters or monsters in the wild environment outside the village, and even died and disappeared...... Ha, if you are considered 'missing' here, it is not much different from being considered dead. The Teutonic artilleryman said as he walked, and stretched out his left hand to scratch the back of his head, "Living in this environment, we used to have to live and work in the human world and a few other fixed small places, if we want to go out and see other places, we either need to entrust Hakurei's shrine maiden or Shouya's Kazuki to escort us, or when we go to the Eternal Pavilion to see a doctor, we need to entrust Fujiwara Meihong in the Lost Bamboo Forest to escort us, or we can only bear the corresponding possible consequences...... However, since His Majesty the King, His Highness the Maggie and the Knights of the Guards appeared in Gensokyo and began to build the current Teutonic camp in the open space north of the village, at least it would be safer for us to go out and around the area, and we could work or serve in the Teutonic camp to earn a lot of money, and most importantly...... Solidarity as a whole, we have gradually gained equal voice with youkai and other powerful races that are not human, and this is the most significant change that His Majesty and His Highness have made to us ordinary humans, and we will remember it in our hearts, even if they are not human themselves. β
"It seems that the Teutonic camp means a lot to you. Gallott said.
"That's true, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in the village coming here to apply for jobs and join the army. The Teutonic artilleryman shrugged his shoulders, then stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, "The front is the headquarters fort, remember to park your horse at the gate of the city first, and after entering, everything will be arranged by me, and do not run around...... Do you understand? Demon Hunter?"
"Understood. Gallott nodded. (To be continued.) )
