Surdak put the magical items back into his magic fanny pack, then got up and opened the curtains, letting the harsh sunlight shine on the somewhat faded brown oak floor, he pushed open the window, and a sparrow fluttered away from the eaves, the cold air outside, the leaves of the small garden below the dormitory had all fallen, the bush wall and a few plane trees were bare, and the lawn was covered with a layer of snow and a few stray footprints.

In the open space in the middle of the small garden, several apprentice knights were practicing their sword swings, their movements were slightly out of shape, and their lunges were not solid at all, but they were very serious, and they chose to practice wooden swords that were slightly heavier than the knight's longsword.

After the beginning of winter, there were two snowfalls, and although the afternoon sun was very bright, the cold wind blowing on the face still felt like a knife.

Surdak glanced at the heavy Craftsman's Sword at his waist, this Craftsman's Sword was re-taken from the Guard Battalion, the previous one had been damaged in Grenfell Manor, Surdak took the blackened Craftsman's Sword to the Guard Battalion Logistics Department, and directly approved the scrap order by Gwendoline, and gave him a brand new one.

He didn't plan to wear that set of standard full-covered black iron armor all day long, not to mention, but mainly walking in the academy would be pointed at by others behind his back and called 'Hylansa Black Dog', compared to the title of 'Clerk Knight', which was more gentle.

Many knights like to wear light leather armor, Surdak's set of monster leather armor was damaged in the battle with the dark red knight, and now if you want to buy a more suitable set, you have to go to the leather shop to tailor it, and Surdak's magic belt bag still has some high-grade leather of salamanders, which is suitable for making leather armor.

Through Carl's introduction, Surdak found a leather shop that could cut and make high-quality leather, and made an appointment to go there in the afternoon to customize a more intimate set of salamander leather armor.

No. 59 Qilin Loka Street is located on the easternmost side of the townhouse on the street, this leather shop does not have a conspicuous plaque, but a leather curtain around the rainproof eaves at the door, the attic glass window is very clean, through the glass window you can see a lot of fine leather goods on the shelves inside, a shop guy wearing a white shirt and leather vest is holding a brush, dipped in grease to do maintenance of leather goods on the shelves.

Surdak stepped out of the magic caravan and paid the driver a silver hammer? Turned around and walked into the leather shop in front of him.

When you push open the door? touched a string of wind chimes hanging on the rainproof eaves curtain, and immediately remembered a series of pleasant wind chimes.

The guy is a very handsome blonde young man? He put down the leather brace in his hand? Walking towards Surdak, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Knight?" This is Abbey Leather Shop, what do you need? ”

The room is full of wooden shelves? Leather objects of all shapes on it? Leather armor, leather bags, and a beautifully styled saddle, Surdak walked over to a wooden figure with a suit of leather armor draped in a suit of leather armor that was so skilled in tailoring that Surdak could not find any seams in the leather armor? And this beige leather armor has a very soft texture? It feels like a girl's skin to the touch.

Surdak stopped and said to the shopkeeper, "I have made an appointment with Master Abbey to meet in the afternoon. ”

"You're a Knight of Surdak?" The shopkeeper asked tentatively, seeing Surdak bowing slightly, he hurriedly led him into the rest area in the middle and poured him a cup of warm milk tea? He said, "Please sit here first, and I'll go and inform Teacher Abbey immediately." ”

Lots of leather hanging on the white walls around the lounge area? These palm-sized leathers have handwritten notes underneath, Earth Storm Bear? Swamp giant crocodile, two-headed flame snake lizard? Thorn-tailed crystal lion? Salamanders? There are all kinds of skin samples of petrified lizards, white rhinoceros and other second-level demonic beasts, and they are all explained in great detail, Surdak stood next to him and watched with relish, a few palm-sized cyan armor pieces were placed on the specially customized shelves, and there were dark lines on the scales.

Surdak wanted to lean over to take a closer look, but a middle-aged man walked in through the door, and the young shopkeeper followed him honestly.

Surdak guessed that he was the master leatherman, and when Karl first introduced him to the master leather maker, he told him that the armor made by the master was very popular in the city of Highlandza.

Abbey, the tanner, looked to be forty or fifty years old, with a very neatly trimmed beard, and wore a white shirt and leather waistcoat similar to that of his shopkeeper, and looked shrewd and capable, and he came out of the room with a tape measure on his shoulder

When he came to Surdak, he first carefully looked at Surdak from the bottom to the top, and then said straight to the point: "I am Abbe, a leather craftsman in the city of Highlandza. I heard Carl say that you have some salamander leather in your hand, and you are going to cut a set of leather armor? ”

Surdak nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm officially here for this matter. ”

Abbey leaned back on the couch, tucked away her loose curls, and asked, "Then are you going to make ordinary high-grade leather armor, or the base material for the magic pattern structure?" ”

"Master Abbey, is there any difference between the two?" Surdak asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course!" Leather master Abbey said, he took out two drawings from under the square table, and explained to Surdak with reference to the drawings: "To make an ordinary style of high-grade leather armor, the integrity of the monster leather is not high, as long as there is enough leather to make it, as for the base material of the magic pattern structure, the texture of the high-grade leather used should be very particular, and if there are too many dark wounds on the leather, it is not suitable for making the substrate of the magic pattern construction, and those inscription masters have almost strict requirements for the magic pattern construction substrate." ”

"Then I want to ......" Surdak hesitated, he hadn't thought about making a magic pattern construction substrate before.

However, Surdak has learned more about the magic pattern construction recently, especially the dark red knight and the captain of Sauron are wearing magic pattern construction, showing extremely strong combat power, and Surdak has a spare amount of money in hand, so he naturally has some ideas.

Seeing that Surdak was a little hesitant, Master Abbe smiled slightly and said, "Knight Surdak, you don't have to decide right away. ”

"I want to take a look at the high-grade leather you prepared first, I once met a guest in order to make a magic pattern construction substrate, prepared ten pieces of high-grade leather of Baiyan rhino in one go, but these leathers are covered with dark wounds, in the end, even a magic pattern construction substrate can not be spelled out, can only make some high-grade leather armor, since you bring your own leather, I think it is necessary to do an appraisal first."

Surdak took out three folded salamander skins from his magic belt bag, piled them on the square table, which looked like a big pile, and said directly: "Then ask Master Abbe to take a look!" ”

Master Abbe didn't expect Surdak to take out so many salamander leathers in one go, and carefully distinguish them before saying: "These are three very good salamander skins, this peeling technique is a bit too amateurish, it is not advisable to divide the leather here, when I take the material in the future, I need to extend from the waist and abdomen leather to the inside of the hind legs, if the leather in these places can be connected together, it can be made into the front half of the breastplate without seams, in order to reserve a large enough area for the inscription master to engrave the magic pattern circle, Naturally, the fewer seams in the leather armor parts, the better. ”

Surdak said with some surprise: "I see...... There are so many ...... about peeling?"

Master Abbey laughed dryly: "Of course, but although these three salamander skins are not ideally divided, the texture of the leather is not bad, and the lizard tail and belly skin are well preserved. ”

"That...... Actually, I only need one set. Surdak frowned slightly, he wasn't ready to make so many sets of leather armor at once, could he make all of them for himself?

Master Abbe looked at Surdak with some astonishment, didn't he come to him to make high-grade leather armor, wasn't it to piece together a few more sets of magic pattern construction materials?

Then he said: "It's a pity that this kind of high-grade leather is not made as a magic pattern construction base, you can think about it before making a decision......

Stepping out of Abbey's private tannery, Surdak exhaled deeply.

He turned around and waved his hand to Master Abbey, who was standing at the door, turned around and walked to the street, thinking as he walked: The cost of this tailor-made leather armor is really expensive, even ordinary high-grade leather armor is much higher than the leather shop outside, as for the base material of the magic pattern construction, the production cost of a set is five times that of ordinary monster leather armor. Each set of Demonic Pattern Fabrication Substrate requires a production fee of ten gold coins, which is really frighteningly expensive.

In the end, Surdak decided to follow Master Abbey's advice and make full use of these leathers to make a set of ordinary high-grade leather armor and three sets of substrates for the Magic Pattern Fabric, after all, it is more secure to make the Magic Pattern Fabrication Substrate, and it is more secure to ask the Leather Master to handle it, and the success rate of making the Magic Pattern Fabrication will be greater in the future.

Thirty-two gold coins were taken out at once, which made Surdak's heart ache.

Fortunately, he obtained thirteen magic crystals from the dark mage, and of course, this is also where Surdak has the confidence to make four sets of high-grade leather armor in one go.

In addition, there will be a lot of salamander leather leftovers left, although it is not possible to make the base material of the magic pattern structure, but there is no problem in making ordinary Warcraft leather armor, but of course these leftovers do not need to be made into leather armor, of course, it is best to keep the leather in your hands, and there will be more choices in the future.

According to Master Abbey, that set of ordinary leather armor can be used for ordinary wear, and three sets of magic pattern construction substrates can be stored first, if you can make up five sets, you can find an inscription master, try to make a set of magic pattern construction for yourself, ordinary inscription master to draw a magic pattern structure, although there is a high probability of failure, but if you want to use five sets of leather armor substrates to pile up a set of magic pattern construction, the chance is still very large.

Of course, the cost of asking an inscription master to make a magic pattern is even more outrageous, and many minor nobles will regard the magic pattern construction as a large amount of wealth, which can be inherited from descendants almost like a territory, and it is not difficult to see how expensive it is to draw a magic pattern structure.

Surdak was walking down the street when suddenly a magic caravan came to a halt. Christie pushed open the door of the carriage and leaned out of her upper body, she was wearing a delicate long dress, even in the harsh winter, she had to show her shoulders, and at this time she was shivering a little by the cold wind.

She casually took a fur shawl from the maid behind her, and then jumped out of the magic caravan, stood on the street and asked Surdak, "Surdak, why are you here?" ”

She's tall and wears dancing crystal slippers, and she's half a head taller than Surdak, and no matter which man she stands in front of, she puts some pressure on her height.

Surdak pointed to the row of attics down the street behind him, and said, "Oh, hello, Darcy. I've come here to visit Master Abbe and ask him to make me a set of leather armor. ”

Darcy. Christie nodded repeatedly, it seemed that she also knew the leather master Abbey, and she said to Surdak: "The leather armor made by Master Abbey is barely okay, mainly because there is no better leather master in Hailansa City." I also happen to want to make a light armor, but I don't have any suitable leather on hand for the time being, so I'm going to try my luck at the auction house tomorrow and see if I can buy a piece of thorntail crystal lion skin. ”

“…… Oops, I almost forgot to introduce you to you......"

Darcy. Christie's expression was a little exaggerated, and it could be seen that she had not forgotten to introduce herself to her friends because of chatting, but was ready to chat with Surdak first, she was an arrogant and selfish aristocratic lady, with some unconscious bad temper.

Out of the carriage came a young aristocratic lady, almost with Darcy. Christie's same outfit, but better than Darcy. Christie was much shorter and not very beautiful, but that quiet face was a little familiar to Surdak.

A young nobleman jumped out of the carriage first, and then reached out to help Miss Hoyle jump out of the carriage, the young man behaved earnestly, and anyone could see that he and Miss Hoyle had an unusual intimacy, since he had not heard of Miss Hoyle's marriage, Surdak guessed that the two were most likely a couple.

Darcy. Christie didn't think that Surdak would know Miss Hoyle, so she directly introduced her: "This is Miss Hoyle, the mistress of Hoyle Manor, who is about to be conferred the title of First Class Viscount." This is Ivan of the Baruch family in the city of Highlandsa. Knights of Baruch, they are all my friends. This is the Knight of Surdak, my ...... at the Knight Academy Colleague. ”

"Hello, Knight Surdak, I've been hearing your name from Darcy lately." Miss Hoyle looked at Surdak deeply, and she could not forget the majestic appearance of the tall man riding on the mountain path, who killed the robbers, helped her when she was most in need, and then, without pay or mercy, put her on horseback, and let the old horse carry her back to the city of Highland...... She could have been more decent, not so embarrassed, at least to replace the dress on her body that had been torn by the robbers, thinking about it...... Gratitude and hatred were intertwined in her heart.

"Good afternoon, Miss Hoyle, Knight Baruch!" Surdak didn't expect that he would have to meet Miss Hoyle for a day, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this Highlandsa City is really a little small.

The young nobleman, however, squeezed out a hypocritical smile and said to Surdak cordially: "Please call me Ivan, it is rare to meet here, I suggest that we find a place to sit and have a drink!" ”

'Again...... Is drinking alcohol the way the people of Hylanza communicate? Surdak wanted to pat his forehead hard, then turn around and leave.
