Chapter 20: Buying a Sword
Due to the celebration of 'Victory Day', the hotels in the imperial capital have put up signs with room discounts, but for Zhao Qianfeng and the others, this has become an ornament. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because it's all full.
After coming out of the spell meeting, Zhao Qianfeng asked several hotels along the road, but he couldn't stay because they were full.
The two began to discuss, and Zhao Qianfeng suggested going to the college he applied for first, maybe there was a room.
After asking passers-by, the two learned that the college with Ashan's recommendation letter was Yaoguang Martial Arts College, which was in the northwest of the imperial capital, while the imperial capital comprehensive college was in the southeast, and the two colleges were completely opposite in the direction.
Zhao Qianfeng decided to go to the Yaoguang Martial Arts Academy.
After determining the direction, the two set off towards the goal, looking for a hotel along the way.
At this time, the night celebration of 'Victory Day' is the most lively moment, no matter how wide the streets are crowded with people, the 'fireworks' that crack the light balls in the night sky never stop, and some of the light balls even combine into two thousand years of symbols, attracting thunderous cheers.
The two of them were struggling to walk through the sea of people.
By the time I arrived at the Yaoguang Martial Arts Academy, it was already late at night.
The frenzied celebration had finally come to an end, and the exhausted people had gone back to their lodgings to rest, and the streets began to thin out, and the streets were in shambles, and those who had fallen drunk were being dragged up by the guards patrolling the imperial capital and thrown into a large flatbed truck, and drunks could be seen singing from time to time.
The door of the Martial Arts Academy was closed, and Zhao Qianfeng found the night watchman of the Academy to find out about the enrollment time of the Martial Arts Academy.
The Martial Arts College is now on holiday, and the enrollment time is three days earlier than the four major colleges, that is, the seventh day after the 'Victory Day', the enrollment will begin.
After a warm and detailed introduction from the night watchman, who had been given a silver coin, the two found a reasonably priced hotel not far from the academy, but fortunately, there were still rooms available.
In one day, traveling thousands of miles, experiencing the 'Victory Day' celebration in two places, extremely excited and then extremely tired, Ah Shan, a curious baby, fell asleep when he entered the room, and after a while, he snored like thunder.
Waving his hand to throw a 'silence' to Ah Shan, Zhao Qianfeng lay on the bed, thinking about how to complete the task of the Authority.
From the records of the books related to the spell field in Aoki Town, to what I have seen and heard in the past few days, I feel that the creatures of this world have forgotten about war.
The original 'Victory Day' was to make people remember how much mankind had to buy peace, and the rain on 'Victory Day' was to make people remember the bright red on the ground under the pass of the canyon pass.
At that time, 'Victory Day' was a day of remembrance and courage.
Now, it's a festive and joyous time.
Only those who were stationed at the seven passes seemed to remember the meaning of the festival.
Because there, there is still war, although it is far from here.
"It seems that I have to integrate here faster to find a solution, why is my mission required to use local civilization technology, even if I am half a level!" Zhao Qianfeng muttered, forcing himself to sleep.
Zhao Qianfeng didn't know that in fact, the largest portal in the middle of the hall of the Imperial Capital Mage Society had only one teleportation point, and the location was the first pass 'Guangyao' in the direction of the Terran in the canyon passage.
The next day, Zhao Qianfeng got up early in the morning and went out for a walk.
The whole city seems quiet after yesterday's noise, and many people who experienced yesterday's carnival are still replenishing their sleep, which makes the city's awakening almost half a beat slower.
There are very few pedestrians on the street, and depending on their status, some of them should have not returned all night, and on several flatbed trucks on both sides of the street, snoring is coming and going, and the cleaners are cleaning up the garbage left behind after the celebration.
Finally found a small food stall, Zhao Qianfeng simply ate something, and chatted with the stall owner by the way.
Because there was only Zhao Qianfeng on the food stall, the stall owner was also willing to chat, and after a few words, Zhao Qianfeng learned about the living expenses of the imperial capital.
After estimating it himself, Zhao Qianfeng found that according to ordinary consumption, ten gold coins were only enough for one year.
"Fortunately, I saved a spirit stone, so I can support my graduation," Zhao Qianfeng rejoiced.
After breakfast, Zhao Qianfeng continued to wander around, and slowly there were more people, and many shops also opened.
Entering a bookstore, Zhao Qianfeng found that there was a map for sale, and when he picked it up, the city map of the imperial capital Yaoguang was outlined, although it was simple, but the city layout, streets, schools, martial arts clubs, spell clubs, etc. were still clearly marked.
On the map, Zhao Qianfeng quickly found the academy where he and Ah Shan were going, and according to the map, there was an armory shop and a blacksmith shop not far in front.
Thinking of the heavy sword that Ahsan discarded in Winnton, Zhao Qianfeng considered having to prepare a new one for Ahsan.
Hurriedly returned to the hotel room, opened the door, and found that Ah Shan had woken up and was eating at the table, and when he saw Zhao Qianfeng coming back, Ah Shan hurriedly greeted him.
"The free breakfast in the store is for you to keep. Ahsan spoke, his mouth still eating.
"I've eaten out. ā
"That can't be wasted!" Ahsan pulled another plate of food onto his plate.
After eating, Ah Shan stretched out his body and asked Zhao Qianfeng: "Ah Feng, where are you going early in the morning?"
"Go out and get acquainted with the environment, by the way, there's an arms store in front of you, and your weapons are left in Winyton, just to see if there's anything right for you." Zhao Qianfeng said to Ah Shan.
The two of them left the hotel and went straight to the armory shop on the ground.
After a while, you will come to the door of the weapons store, which is a three-story building, the store is very large, and the door of the store is conspicuously hung with weapons signs.
As soon as he entered the store, Ahsan kept saying "Ah...... Ah......" exclaimed.
The entire first floor is full of weapons of various styles, classified and placed according to varieties, and each piece of workmanship is very exquisite, no wonder Ah Shan is dazzled.
A clerk walked over yawning, apparently the after-effects of yesterday's party.
"These two must be freshmen who are preparing to enter Yaoguang Academy, right?
I have to say that this clerk's vision is very accurate, even if the spirit is not the best, he can accurately tell the identity of the two.
"I wanted to buy a greatsword, and mine was lost at the teleportation in Winenton. Ahsan replied first.
The clerk's eyes lit up, and the spirit came, don't look at these two people who are dressed in general, the master who can transmit must be rich, the so-called wealth is not exposed, it seems that he can take over a good business today.
Attentively took the two of them to the counter where the swords were placed, there were dozens of swords of different shapes and styles, long swords and short swords with one hand, broadswords and heavy swords with both hands...... Each one is meticulously crafted and shining.
Ah Shan picked up a heavy sword, and then shook his head: "It's too light." ā
"This sword weighs 20 pounds, which is almost the standard weight of the army, but depending on your figure, this sword is light. The clerk picked up another heavy sword: "This sword is 40 pounds, which is considered a relatively heavy sword in our store." ā
"My original big sword is 40 pounds, which seems to be lighter. ā
"I didn't expect you to have such a great strength, and you are too light to even use this heavy sword that few people use. A look of adoration appeared on the clerk's face, and then he said proudly, "But you have to believe that our shop is the best and most complete with weapons." ā
Walking to the other sword with Ah Shan, the clerk said: "This sword weighs 60 catties, only you can pick it up and try it yourself, and you really can't afford to hold that sword." ā
Ah Shan picked up the sword and waved it a few times with both hands, and the clerk who was hiding next to him immediately praised: "This sword is so suitable for you, look at the muscles that stand out when you swing it, and the dexterous flying sword shadow in your hand, this sword is perfect with you." ā
Ah Shan laughed and waved more vigorously, while Zhao Qianfeng, who was next to him, looked at the clerk and didn't know how to think of his little secretary 'pit'.
Zhao Qianfeng actually felt that the sword might be a little heavier for Ah Shan, although Ah Shan could easily lift two or three hundred catties of heavy objects, but this did not indicate that Ah Shan could use the heavy sword as he wanted.
The soldiers in the army can lift a hundred pounds of heavy objects, but the standard sword is only 20 pounds, mainly for the soldiers to have enough physical strength to use weapons in battle and maintain long-term combat effectiveness.
Unless you're really talented.
However, although Ah Shan's body is strong, if you want to compare it with the demons of another world, you may still be a weak chicken.
Thinking about it, Zhao Qianfeng did not dissuade Ah Shan from buying the heavy sword, but just asked Ah Shan to practice more in the past few days and become familiar with the weapon in his hand.
Yi Mo is right, the weapons of the imperial capital are not too expensive, and this heavy sword only costs 2 gold coins.
However, under the introduction of the clerk, Ahsan bought a scabbard made of python skin, 1 gold coin.
The clerk's explanation was that if Ahsan became a student of Yaoguang and could successfully graduate, there would be a one-year internship period, and the martial arts training site would be in the canyon passage, and then the sword would be opened.
Zhao Qianfeng, who heard this, was a little cheerful in his heart, at least people were still paying attention to the pass.
In the days that followed, Zhao Qianfeng began to urge Ahsan to practice martial arts.
Just around the academy, he found an open space, where Ahsan began to practice martial arts, and there were some people of the same age as Ahsan who were practicing, and it seemed that they were also preparing for the freshman entrance test.
Zhao Qianfeng also slowly learned about the enrollment situation of various colleges in the imperial capital through the conversations of those young people.
In the 'Two Realms', the life of objects is relatively long, as far as human beings are concerned, the normal age of survival is more than 200 years old, and in their age group, the best time to learn is around 20 years old, and after the age of 40, it is considered to enter old age until the age of 140, and the middle age period they call is the golden age of human beings.
Therefore, the enrollment age and military recruitment age of major colleges are almost all around 20 years old, and education before the age of 20 can only be called enlightenment.
As for the many lumberjacks under the age of 20 in Aoki, Imperial law does not prohibit 'child labor'.
"It seems that I still know too little information. Zhao Qianfeng thought.
Ashan's big sword is indeed a bit heavier, and it can't do it smoothly in practice.
"This sword is heavy for you, and you will have to take the school test in a few days, so you should change to a lighter one. Zhao Qianfeng said to Ah Shan, who was grinning with bared teeth.
Rubbing his sore shoulders, Ahsan said, "It's a little heavier now, but I'll be stronger, and I'll be able to adapt soon." ā
"Besides, I'm embarrassed to change it. Ahsan's face was a little red.
I dared to buy this one because of the praise of the clerk, and I felt a little slapped in the face when I went to change it.
"Forget it," Zhao Qianfeng took out the map: "There is a blacksmith shop here, go there and see if you can make the sword lighter." ā
