Chapter 15: Making Leather Armor
Vivien watched intently as Goodak skillfully cut open the belly of the scorpionmon with a skinning knife, and then cut horizontally and vertically, gradually separating the scorpionmon's fur from its corpse.
When Goodak cut the last slice and split a whole piece of the scorpionmon's fur, Vivien let out a long breath, and looking at her, it seemed that she was working harder than Goodak himself. And Gudak just wiped the skinning knife casually and put it aside, then he washed his hands with water, and said in an admiring tone: "I have been doing this for decades, and this is the first time I have seen such a complete piece of the fur of the poisonous scorpion lion, it is really hard to imagine, how did you catch it in the first place?"
Ryan looked at Gudak looking at him with an inquiring gaze, just smiled, and did not answer, and Gudak was also very knowledgeable, seeing that Ryan refused to answer, he did not continue to ask, but he still said to Ryan in a pleading tone: "Young man, I see that you are wearing a magician's robe, you should not be short of money, right?" I suggest you don't sell it, this kind of thing is very rare, it is better to make a finished product here, you can make armor from the fur of the poisonous scorpion lion beast with your own hands, I will be satisfied, I can not charge you money." ”
Ryan looked at the owner of the leather shop in his fifties, and the only craftsman in the shop, Goodak, and said in a slightly joking tone, "How is your craft?
As soon as Ryan spoke, Gudak immediately had a difficult face, he hesitated, but still told the truth: "I won't hide it from you, there are not many high-quality products in my store. Although I have decades of craftsmanship, but I don't have much capital, how can I learn the 'magic hand' and store dozens or hundreds of fine products in my own store? Since it is a fine product, it is already very good that I can make one piece a year, if I really have decades of inventory, then I have not sold anything in the decades I have been in store? Then you dare me to make something for you?"
Ryan laughed dumbly at Goodak's words, and he looked at Vivien, who was carefully trying to figure out how to cut the scorpion's fur so as to fit her plan as much as possible, so Ryan spoke, "Don't worry, Mr. Goodak, if we don't trust you, we won't come to you." As you said, I'm not short of money, so I'm going to make it into a set of armor and give it to this lady. ”
"Ah, that's great. Goodak exclaimed a little excitedly: "I can make another piece, I hope this is the best piece of my life." ”
"I'm sure so. Ryan said, "However, before you do it, I want to make a point first, this material is quite difficult, so ......"
"Don't worry, my shop is small, but it can be at the front of the whole Free Paradise," Goodak misunderstood what Ryan meant, patting his chest and saying, "If the finished product I make doesn't match the design, I'm willing to ......"
"Ah, that's not what I meant. Ryan hurriedly explained: "Since we have chosen this place, we can naturally trust you, what I just meant was that before you finish the whole work, I will bless it with the magic array, and when my side is completed, you will connect the entire armor with me." ”
"What are you talking about?" Before Ryan could finish speaking, Goodak immediately rushed to shout, "Can you make magic items? You want to make magic items with me?" Ah, I heard you right? This is great, I haven't made magic items in my life. When Goodak said this, he said with some gains and losses: "But I have no experience in this field at all, alas, if you don't do it again, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Haha, please don't worry. Ryan admired Goodak's straightforward temper, and he didn't have to boast infinitely, he didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he explained to Goodak: "When I add magic, I will draw according to your work. So you just have to discuss the whole style with her, and then follow the design drawings and you're good to go. I won't affect you, so you don't have to worry, you can do whatever you want. ”
"Well......" Goodak pondered for a moment, then made up his mind, and said to Ryan, "Well, there is always a first time for everything, and I don't believe that I have so many years of experience, and I can't even make a magic item." ”
"That's great. Ryan smiled and nodded, then turned to Vivien and said, "Vivian, we can get started." ”
"No, it has to be designed that way. Vivien said loudly: "Only in this way can you highlight people's figures." ”
Goodak rolled his eyes, but as long as it wasn't principled, he could only accommodate the needs of the guests, so Goodak had no choice but to take out a quill and change the lines on the drawing a few times according to Vivien's request. Looking at Vivien's satisfied smile, Goodak thought helplessly: "You are happy, but the process of making such a design has tripled, alas. ”
"Hey, Fabia, you're talking. After Vivien and Goodak argued for hours about the design of the leather armor, Vivien remembered that Ryan didn't say a word, and she was very worried, afraid that her requirements would be too harsh for Ryan to enchant the armor, so she pestered Ryan to make him say a few words.
Ryan was forced to be helpless, as long as he said to Vivian: "You don't have to worry about my side, let me say something big, even if you only give me a palm-sized piece, I can draw a complete magic array." ”
Vivien was very happy to hear this, but Goodak began to mutter: "You also want to draw a magic circle with a big palm?" I remember that seven years ago, Master York of the 'Magic Hand' once made a magic item, and drew a magic circle on a breastplate's heart guard, and that heart guard was the size of a palm, are you higher than Master York? Or are you just planning to draw a few simplest magic circles?"
"Ah, this thing is so hard, you've been soaking it for ten days, and it's so hard to cut?" Vivien watched as Goodak struggled to divide the scorpionmon's fur according to the designed drawings, and stood by him very worried, of course, the most important thing was to worry about his own armor.
"Alright, don't affect Mr. Goodak, if you really can't be idle, go to the courtyard to practice martial arts. Ryan reassured Vivien and said, "You don't want to cause minor flaws in the final product because of your talking, do you?"
"Wow, it's pretty much out there!" Vivien looked excited as Gudak placed every part of the armor neatly on the table, then turned to Ryan and said, "Fabia, it's up to you now." I trust you, but don't let me down. ”
Ryan smiled, walked straight to Goodak's desk, pulled out the storage pocket from his body, and began to pull things out: "Magic quill, moonlight ink, mythril powder, sky blue potion, ......"
Goodak and Vivien grew their mouths as they watched as Ryan pulled out more than thirty different things in a row and placed them densely packed on the table. Vivien patted Ryan on the shoulder and praised him, "I can't see that you really brought so many things, well, I trust you a little now." And Gudak saw that Ryan didn't even have a design drawing, so he actually picked up a magic quill and dipped it in some moonlight ink and drew it on the armor he had made, and he was still skeptical: "Did you really let me say it, because the pattern drawn is simple, so I don't even have to draw a draft?"
"Ahh
However, after looking at Ryan's progress, Vivien was a little suspicious in her heart: "I remember that he was painting this piece last night, why didn't he finish painting when he woke up?
"Ah, are you awake? Did he finish painting?" There was a sound behind him that Gudak seemed to be awake, Vivien turned her head, put her fingers on her mouth, and made a silent movement, and Gudak immediately closed his mouth, he tiptoed to Ryan's side, and saw Ryan keep drawing magic arrays in the same part repeatedly, and his heart was even more strange: "Hey, could it be that this magician used to be an architect, and his technique is clearly to paint the wall!"
"Hey, hey!" Ryan pushed Vivien the shoulder, waking the female warrior from her sleep, who forced her sleepy eyelids, looked at Ryan's blurry image, and said, "What, you're hungry?
"Hey, wake up, Vivien. Goodak is working on the final work, and your armor is almost finished. ”
"Oh, he'll wait for him when he's done, and you can let me sleep for a while. Vivien closed her eyes again as she spoke, but in less than ten seconds, Vivien immediately jumped up and shouted, "Done?"
"It's done!" Ryan replied in the affirmative.
"Is it really done?" Vivien had dreamed of this scene a lot in the past few days, but she still couldn't believe it, and asked again.
Ryan grabbed Vivien's shoulders with his hand and pushed her outside into the courtyard while shouting, "Of course." If you don't believe it, you can see that Goodak is in the courtyard. ”
Before Ryan finished speaking, he saw Vivien's figure flash, and the whole person had already left the room, and Ryan was amazed, if she could maintain this speed, it would be comparable to Elendor, of course, and Allendo three years ago.
