Chapter 52: A New Sword
Six days later, in the early morning, a cow caravan was on the official road on the outskirts of the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Lan lifted the sackcloth curtain and looked at the driver with the whip, and the shorthorn ox in front of him was galloping on his hooves. This is the most common driving tool in the kingdom of Ayalan, which is not much different from the cattle in the previous life in memory, the only difference is that there is only a short single horn on the forehead, and it has a tame temperament, which is suitable for breeding.
Although the unicorn is a little slower, the horses can only be driven by nobles or people of status, and the few options for civilians traveling are this type of ox cart.
Looking back, there are cotton pads on both sides of the canopy, and at this moment Lucia is wearing a low-key gray-blue dress, wrapping her delicate body, but her pretty and beautiful little face can't cover it. She moved slightly, as if whispering, and after a moment, she suddenly raised her head, pulled the curtain behind the car, and said, "Very good, with the blessing of the magic of the Goddess Lucia's floating breeze, the speed of this Sun God's car has surpassed that of the Lightning Dragon." ”
Luo Lan looked at the little girl's serious look and couldn't help but smile dumbly. After this period of time together, he finally confirmed Lucia's true character. Although she is gentle and friendly in school, she is very popular, but when she comes home and is alone, she will say some strange myths, in other words, it is similar to the second illness in her previous life, and she often makes mistakes, and she really doesn't know how she took care of herself before she came to the human world.
"Gloves, dry food, kettle, flint, embalming fluid...... Have you taken the dagger with you?" Luo Lan asked aloud as she checked the package.
Before leaving, the two of them specially purchased a batch of things to use in the city for going out, and selected a dagger in the weapon shop for the little girl to use for self-defense. Luo Lan was also wearing a leather armor commonly used by adventurers, which he had bought at the bazaar. In addition, don't forget to go to Lijia's restaurant and bring back the preservative liquid given by the chef, which can make the meat last longer.
"Bring it with you. Lucia took out a metal dagger of more than 20 centimeters from the leather sheath, waved her little hand, and looked very excited: "Grandpa didn't touch it for me before, but it's so handsome to use." ”
"Okay, okay, put it away after the inspection, don't hurt yourself. Luo Lan smiled and took out the food from her bag: "Hurry up and have some breakfast, the drive is still long......"
Outside the ox cart, the scenery on both sides of the cart continued to retreat, from morning to dusk, and the trees on both sides gradually became denser. Walking up a high slope, I saw a town in the distance, faintly hearing the barking of dogs and the rising smoke of cooking, and in the distance was an endless blue-black forest of the sea and rolling mountains.
Luo Lan looked out from the curtain of the car, and knew in her heart that she had finally arrived at the Gudegassori Twilight Forest.
"Sir and Miss, the town of Zekalinya has arrived. The bullock cart creaked to a halt, and the coachman turned back.
Lucia paid for the car with copper coins, and the two of them headed into the town, where they soon found the only inn in town.
Because Luo Lan didn't have to rest at night, and she stayed with the little girl on weekdays, the two only opened one room. This also happens to save some expenses, after all, they are currently spending money, and they are using the expenses left by the little girl's grandfather, Luo Lan, as a man, naturally does not want to rely on Lucia all the time, and is going to go to the Twilight Forest to hunt and make money with his strength.
"There are five days left, and we will go out to eat first, and then we will pick the right weapons. Let's go to the forest early tomorrow morning. After tidying up, Luo Lan opened the door.
Unlike the Earth School, the Ayalam Ashram usually takes seven days and then rests for three days, and so on until the long winter and summer holidays. Lucia took a few days off in advance for this trip, and the remaining five days of the drive were very tight for the adventure, and the two of them had to hurry.
"Okay, let's go out for dinner. Lucia put on the hood of her gray-blue robe, jumped up and looked energetic, pulled Luo Lan and ran out.
The two of them had already walked around the town of Zekalinya, which was obviously smaller than some of the villages in his previous life, most of them were civil dwellings, and there were quite a few people coming and going in the streets, except for the residents and some men dressed as hunters.
After finding a noodle restaurant to eat, Luo Lan came to the open-air blacksmith shop in the town, a middle-aged man was tinkling a red-hot iron, and when he saw a guest coming, he immediately handed over the work to the apprentice, and greeted: "Hey, sir, I am first-class in selecting weapons or repairing equipment, you can take a look at it." ”
"Do you have a knife? We need to buy a knife. Lucia stepped forward.
Luo Lan has not officially used weapons, and he is always fighting with his bare hands in the undead world, but this time he still buys a sharp weapon for the forest beast, and the insurance is better. After all, there is a little girl next to her, and she can usually use it to cut off branches and weeds that block the way. Originally, he wanted to buy a sword, and when he was a child, he watched various TV series and martial arts movies, but he still chose a knife after putting aside the impulse and weighing, because in comparison, most swords have low practicality and high requirements for skill moves.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary student, and he didn't know the martial arts and mental methods that have been circulated in China at all, so he could only think about being a swordsman.
"Need a knife? haha, you've found the right place, the blacksmith specializes in knives here, please come with me to the store." The middle-aged blacksmith said as he moved the basket of swords behind him to the side, touching his head and laughing.
When I entered the blacksmith's house, I saw all kinds of long knives, short knives, scimitars, double-gripped knives, ring knives, and several large knives up to two meters long hanging on the walls and rows of iron frames, and I didn't know what they were used for. Lucia let out an exclamation, staring at the room full of knives, seemingly interested.
Luo Lan looked at them one by one, and finally found a long knife covered with dust in the corner.
Picked up and wiped clean with a linen cloth, suddenly a handle is about one meter long, the handle is wrapped in leather rope, the blade is bright and slender, and the two-finger-wide single knife is revealed, and the trembling can be heard under the flick.
"Yes, that's it. Luo Lan immediately clapped his head.
Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Lucia looked at the long knife she had just bought several times, and wondered, "Mr. Suzumu, will this knife be too thin, or let's go and change it again." ”
Luo Lan shook her head, knowing that the little girl thought she had suffered a loss, which could also be seen from the blacksmith boss's taking advantage smile just now. Because there are still various thick-backed machetes in the kingdom of Ayalan, broadswords are more popular in the mainstream, but from his point of view, this knife is very close to the Miao knife of the previous life, and it is similar to the katana, light and sharp, suitable for slashing and stabbing, and will not get stuck in the bone seam, which is the most suitable for use.
After explaining the simple knowledge of various types of knives, Lucia looked abrupt and stared at him for a long time: "Mr. Suzumu, how can you know so many things, it's amazing." ”
