Chapter Twenty-Seven: The White Feather Ebony Arrow

Leaving the civilian quarters, three streets west of Stone Bridge Street and further north, is the main road connecting the gates of Istalon with the inner city, which is the most prosperous commercial center of Istalen. The storefronts on this street are arguably the best of Eastalen's business, and although the prices are a little higher, the quality of the goods is definitely the best in town.

El wanted to find a weapons shop to buy an axe, which was actually the first thing he wanted to buy when he entered the city.

If you're looking for a powerful weapon, Mr. Powell's workshop has a variety of enchanted weapons. But those glittering luxuries will undoubtedly be a sky-high price for El, and they may not be at their disposal.

Accustomed to using an arm-long logging axe, El still wanted to find a similarly shaped one that felt heavier. Preferably made of forged steel, this axe is highly resistant to corrosion, whether chopping bushes and vines or slashing prey, without being worn by sap or blood. In addition to being sturdy and durable, the unexpected is more important than the unpretentious, low-key style.

In addition, what is more important to a hunter is the arrows, in the deep mountains and old forests, hunters can only make their own simple wooden arrows with arrows made of bone. These arrows are difficult to penetrate even the fur of some large animals, let alone the fierce beasts with scales and armor.

To be honest, Er's unique job of wearing Yang in 100 steps with one hand was also forced out by life.

As early as when he entered the city, El noticed that in the market of Isttalen, it was possible to buy military white feather ebony arrows!

Edou is abundant in the forests near Istalen, a high-quality wood that is perfect for making arrow shafts and other weapon parts. Paired with the feathers of a white gull and a triangular arrowhead with iron, you can make a white-feathered ebony arrow that is known for its stability and accuracy. It's not the most lethal of the arrows, but its usefulness is appreciated by all users.

The White Lion Legion has been here for hundreds of years, and has a large number of weapons craftsmen who have been passed down from generation to generation and a complete logistics and military industrial system. Every year, more than 100,000 high-quality white-feathered ebony arrows are produced, and seventy percent of them flow to the royal capital as a specialty of Istalon and are replenished to the elite legions throughout the kingdom.

Time is the guarantee of quality, but at the same time, after hundreds of years of inheritance, the production technique of this arrow has long been in the people. Almost every weapon shop in Isttalon will have its own imitation of white feather ebony arrows, and those large shops with backgrounds may even sell real military products that flow through certain channels. While the price may be on the high side, it's definitely great value for money.

El once had a dream, that is, when he was developed, he must use this kind of arrow that ordinary hunters dream of. I don't go hunting every day, I just stand outside the city and shoot birds every day.

The central street is crowded with people, and the four-wheeled carriages of the aristocracy and the caravans' carrying mules and horses pass by, crowded but not lacking in order. It's a militarized city, with an innate efficiency in the bones of everyone from the aristocracy to the pauper, and you can see the surging flow of people on both sides of the streets, but there is very little pushing and shouting. Even the streets, where countless livestock pass by every day, are exceptionally clean and tidy.

El wandered the streets unhurriedly, squinting at the brightest side of the city. He remembered that Tika was very fond of apples, so he bought a bag at a roadside store, which was quite expensive, but not unacceptable. The girl selling the fruit was very enthusiastic and had a happy smile.

The old man said that if you look carefully at how many natural smiles there are on the faces of the commoners in a city, you can see how many skills the lords of the city have. It seems that the current owner of the White Lion Family seems to be a wise lord...... El thought to himself.

After walking a short distance, El spotted his target on the street corner ahead.

It was a large and imposing firm, and Mr. Jupiter's firm was like a quail next to an eagle compared to here. Five facades line up and occupy almost the entire street corner. At a glance, rows of armored weapons were neatly placed on the shelves, polished and shiny. Swords, guns, swords, halberds are readily available, and there are so many styles and types that people are dizzying.

These guys outside alone are enough to arm a militia regiment, it is really worthy of a city developed from a military fortress, and even the weapon shop is so powerful and domineering.

El sneered in his heart and stepped into the store. As he expected, behind a row of longbows lay several long arrows with white tails and black tails.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

The shopkeeper standing next to him approached, and when he noticed El's age and clothes, he couldn't help but have a look of disappointment on his face, but he didn't show it on his lips, and it was clear that he was well-trained.

"I've heard that your white-feathered ebony arrows here are of good quality?" El asked tentatively.

"You've come to the right place. The young man's eyes lit up, and his face immediately showed a look of courtesy: "The ancestor of our firm's weapon casting master is a master craftsman exclusive to the legion, and these white-feathered ebony arrows are all made according to the standards of real military supplies. You won't find a second copy of an arrow of the highest standard in the entire city of Istalen. ”

"The highest standard?" El drew an arrow with some suspicion and looked at it carefully.

Although he hesitated, with his intuition as a big hunter, he believed most of the guy's introduction in his heart as soon as he picked it up. This white-feathered ebony arrow is full of balanced flowing beauty, and El has never touched such a good arrow in his life. His heart was beating uncontrollably, and he couldn't wait to try what it was like to shoot such an arrow.

Barely suppressing his excitement, El quietly put down the arrow and asked, "This is the best......?"

"Of course, you know that when it comes to making arrows in batches, the state of the craftsmen is different, and it is impossible to guarantee that all the finished products are of the same quality, and occasionally there will be some excellent products. The young man smiled knowingly, with an expression on his face that you know. "Of course, there aren't many arrows produced, so what's the price...... You can understand. ”

The production is not high, and this is clearly a brazen sale of military supplies, right? It's just that because it is expressly forbidden, it is just another way of saying it.

If you want to buy it, of course, buy the best, El touched his wallet, and his heart was a little tangled. When he first entered the city, he wouldn't even blink. But now after all, he was still a little tight, so he coughed, narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are there any discounts?"

Coming out of the weapons shop, El's heart was bleeding. Two real military white-feathered ebony arrows, worth three gold coins. This is equivalent to the purchase price of a good leather in the town, or a good quality iron sword, or to put it more simply, it can be said that it is half a year's salary of an ordinary militiaman.

That's not how money is spent! El secretly scolded himself in his heart for being an idiot, arrows are consumables, and even if they can be recovered, they will have the problem of wear and tear. No one is a sharpshooter who can penetrate Yang every time, and he has no hope that these two arrows will really pay for themselves.

Of course, the cost of real military supplies cannot be so high, and it will not exceed one-tenth of this price at most, otherwise after a round of siege warfare, the White Lion family will have to collectively sell their pants. But this price is not to be said, first of all, people smuggle this contraband for profiteering, and most of the customers who can afford to buy this kind of arrow are noble guards or lone rangers, and people don't care about this little money.

In fact, Eel's net worth shouldn't have been so cared about in the first place, but after all, the boy had just come to the big city, and although he was thinking about how to spend money and how to spend it, he would still feel heartache when it came time to take out gold coins.

What makes him a little psychologically balanced is that the quality of the ordinary weapons here is also very good, and the prices are fair. There was a one-handed axe that he had his eye on, with a plain shape, sleek lines, and an all-forged steel body, much heavier than an ordinary axe, but it was just right for El. Because it is not mixed with any high-grade minerals, the price is also very cheap, and less than fifteen gold coins also come with two granite whetstones.

This is a real murder weapon, and the lethality of slashing out is quite terrifying. El was very satisfied, as long as that set of dragon skin equipment was made, he would really be able to change shotguns all over his body this time.

With two barrels of arrows on his back and an axe hidden behind his back, El suddenly felt a little high-spirited, and he was now eager to get the weapons and equipment that Master Powell had made for himself, and run around the forest. Show off to your old rivals who have bullied you.

Checking his wallet, he decided to buy another piece of jewelry for Tika. It doesn't need to be too expensive, but it's a thought. Thinking that he had slept with other girls, he hadn't even given her a token, if the little girl in the village would be laughed at by those long-tongued women as.

Humming a little tune, El picked out a silver bracelet from the stall. If you look at the color, you can see that the fineness is not high, but the style is beautiful. Picking up the bracelet, Tika's slender and white wrist came to mind, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Little brother, did you buy it for a good girl?" The stall owner looked at Er's expression fiercely, nodded and said, "Look at your beauty, you must have taken advantage of the girl." Let me tell you, you can't be a man without Dandang, and if you catch up with a good girl, you have to spoil her. ”

"yes, yes. El smirked and nodded.

"I know this girl's thoughts. The boss slapped his thigh: "Don't believe it, how many years have I been setting up a stall here, and how many couples have I seen......"

Thoughtful, El was confused, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't find the stall, but he had an extra jewelry box that looked like it was worth a lot of money.
