The first thing that catches eye when you walk into a Parnilla store is not the décor – although they are unique – but the cramped spaces inside. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With a long history of exercise and adequate nutrition, Mira is now 1.78 meters tall despite being only 14 years old. Standing on Parnila Street, which is dominated by a Lamanite race of medium stature, this tall man can see almost all the foreheads of others.

The average height of a Raman male is only 1.70 meters, which is why it is no wonder that most of the utensils and houses they use are of some unsuitable size to the girls - but this is not the main reason. The white-haired Luoan girl turned her head and winked at the teacher who could only bend over in an embarrassed posture, obviously the sage who had always been calm and omnipotent was very new to her.

It's just that Henry is Henry in the end, although he can't stretch out his body because of the cramped and short storefront, his demeanor is still very relaxed.

Back to the point, when Muna, who was excited like a child in front, ran to chat with the store first, Mira in the back carefully observed the surroundings.

The interior of this small clothing store is filled with all kinds of clothes, and compared to the crooked sewing of the outer markets, each of the clothes here is very neat, apparently by the hands of skilled women.

The ceiling of about 1.9 meters is made of solid wood, with several hooks nailed to the top and a long hemp rope pulled down, and the other end of the hemp rope is covered with multiple long bamboo poles to hang clothes. This design is inexpensive, and if the owner has something to leave, he can simply untie the hemp rope and put down the bamboo pole to put away the clothes and put them in the box to prevent dust.

However, the business of this small shop is obviously very good, and although it can be dusted away for a long time, it will have a strong musty smell, and there are many clothes hanging here, and Mira does not smell a similar smell.

Whether it's because the store rarely has to close its stall and go elsewhere before closing, or whether the clothes are always sold quickly, it's a testament to the booming business.

There was a serious lack of space for people to walk in the small shop, so the conversation was handed over to Muna and the others, and Mira stood with Henry in the middle and rear of the shop, and did not move forward.

The suggestion of Xiao Er, who had eaten at the inn before, was obviously correct, and the girl noticed that there were many gray and white shoe prints on the wooden floor of the store, and it was obvious that this morning the store had welcomed a large number of customers. If it weren't for lunchtime, they wouldn't even be able to get in.

"Do you understand why?" Observe and think, this is the daily lesson that Henry has set for Mira, so he doesn't need any prerequisites to speak directly, and Miss Loan can understand what he means.

"I don't understand. Mira shook her head decisively, even though she had the power of insight to see the extreme use of space in this shop. For example, on the already low ceiling, there is an extra mezzanine in the area other than the aisle to store things, and there is even a small bed for resting in the mezzanine attic behind the counter. But she was limited to understanding why these things were designed the way they were, and she was impressed by them.

As the real cause of everything, the girl still does not have the ability to read.

"A big city like Parniera is a big city where every inch of land is at a premium, and even more so is the market as a concentration of wealth. As always, Hyung woke her up with a short word.

The keen sense of observation and thinking the girl has developed a rudimentary shape, and what she lacks is only the accumulation of knowledge like a sage. So when the crucial information was obtained, Mira understood it all in an instant.

Just as most castles are built higher, there is only a lot of land that can be used to build houses in Parnila, which is strictly planned. The price of what everyone wants will naturally rise, especially when it comes to commercial shops - if you want a spacious and cheap store, you can go to the wilderness in the countryside and circle as big as you want, but then how many customers can be expected to come to you?

With such a small storefront in a centrally managed commercial district, this clothing store is narrow, but the wealth of the owner should be staggering.

"Don't be a man. After a little thought, the shop, which had felt small and dilapidated, immediately changed. And looking at the middle-aged shopkeeper with a smiling face and no shelves at all, Mira did not feel friendly, but secretly raised her vigilance.

Henry naturally noticed the slight change in her expression, but that was exactly what he had intended. With a slight smile, the sage added: "Those who always expose themselves easily are not terrible, like those who are covered with gold and silver jewelry for fear that others will not know that they have them, and often all of their belongings are actually all they have. ”

"Be careful of those who are hidden, and what you see is often just the tip of the iceberg, and even though it may seem harmless to humans and animals, the consequences can be very serious if you take it lightly. ”

"People like that abound on the East Coast. He paused, then continued, "Paranila is a big city, and Padrossi is a big empire. Despite its seemingly peaceful and civilized appearance, it is actually far more dangerous than Absera. ”

"Because the human heart is something far more sinister than any sword, bow and crossbow. Henry said this, and Mira turned her head to look at him. This was obviously inseparable from the previous incident where she was in a daze on the street and had stage fright, as the Sage had always done. He doesn't, maybe he doesn't, comfort people, and when a problem happens, he doesn't tell you it's not your fault or that everything will pass, but gives you a solution.

Step by step, guide you to think, and become stronger.

The past is already in the past, and no matter what you do, no matter how many reasons you look for to convince - or deceive - yourself, the result is already an established fact. Then there is no point in wasting time on this kind of thing, learn the lesson, be vigilant, learn to think and avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.

His approach may not be for everyone.

But Mira's focus is not there.

Because of her closeness and familiarity, she easily noticed the changes in Henry since she arrived in Parnilla.

- He didn't carry a great sword. Although it can be attributed to a series of reasons such as the inconvenience of carrying an oversized weapon, he has not untied the sackcloth wrapped around it since he disembarked from the ship, and has placed a series of equipment in the inn room before leaving the house, which is obviously not explained in a few words.

But compared to this, the details have changed more drastically.

By his standards, Henry had become much more reticent.

Although Henry still looks calm and calm in the eyes of unfamiliar people, Mira can notice subtle changes in his words and deeds. Henry was no longer as relaxed as he had been on the West Coast, and he had a little less of that relaxed and laid-back vibe, albeit so restrained that outsiders could not even notice it, but the girl who was close to him, who knew him so well, could realize—

Sage, raised his vigilance.

If he had been told that he was a great sword leaning lazily against a tree, now he had it in his hand.

Obviously, the fact that he was on the East Coast by boat meant a lot to him.

What had happened here before, as curious as he was, Henry didn't mention it, and Mira wouldn't ask.

After the negotiation between Mu Na and the others in front of them was completed, they purchased loose and breathable clothes in the store. Due to the lack of a suitable size for Henry, only a few other people changed their clothes in the narrow changing rooms inside the store, and the sage kept his original appearance.

The two girls wore cropped black cropped pants with a slim fit, while the blouse was made of a short sleeve made of light and soft fabric with a bubble design on the shoulders. The edges are stitched and laceed, the front is cut and stitched for a close-fitting effect, and the elongated hem covers the waist of the cropped pants, and the cinched waist is designed to carry the armed belt.

It's a piece of clothing for female adventurers that is unique to the East Coast, and it looks great in addition to a range of factors such as looseness, ease of movement, and comfort.

The fitted cut is light and breathable, making it feel very flexible. Mira tested the range of motion of her wrists, shoulders and waist with a few movements, and then she had to admire the craftsmanship of the maker.

"If you want to wear a cuirass, we also have leather linings here. The shopkeeper, who was still smiling, reminded him in the back, but the group had already waited a long time, and after changing into light and cool local clothes, they walked out into the street with old clothes wrapped in linen.

It was close to noon at this time, and the sound of the wholesale market on the periphery behind her had become noisy and lively, and Mira glanced back at the out-of-town merchants who were mostly out-of-town merchants in their attire, and it was obvious that they had chosen to eat early in order to seize the opportunity.

The nature of a businessman who is unprofitable is really the same everywhere, and the girl can't help but think of it when she looks at the noisy scene of them haggling over there. However, as the crowd walked inside, getting closer and closer to the street, the surroundings fell into relative silence again.

Compared with the dense footsteps and human voices before, the mainstream here is the "bone" sound of the wheels of the carriage walking on the hard ground.

The noble ladies and ladies of status could not travel on their own legs, and they rode in horse-drawn carriages, escorted by skilled butlers and bodyguards, and headed for the dessert shops and teahouses that went up the street.

Mira and Muna, who had never eaten much of their sweet tooth, were a little intrigued, but they had spent more time in the clothing store than they thought, and they still had it after they had time to spare, so they decided to go and complete the purpose of the trip first.

In the end, it is mercenaries, and the aspects of interest of people engaged in combat professions are still related to this.

Parnira is the largest port on the east coast, and is famous for its weapons and armor. From swords, weapons, scimitars, daggers, spears, and even bows and crossbows. As a steppe royal family, Muna, who has experienced a certain amount of Lamani culture, will say that she wants to come and see, which just proves how wide the spread of this reputation is.

However, in addition to curiosity, Mira guessed that there was still some unconvincing elements in Muna's heart. After all, she had scoffed at the combat effectiveness of the residents before, and as a well-known and even uninhabited place in the Absera Prairie, it was only natural for her to want to see what kind of level Parnira's weapons shop was.

But the nomad girl's desire to pick out a thorn to mock the top level of the sedentary people was nothing more than that, and the moment she stepped into the store, it was all in vain.

The first impression is neat.

Neat and clean.

"Welcome. Standing at the front counter was not the usual blacksmith shopkeeper, but a young man dressed as a literati, and with curly black hair, he made a simple salute to the crowd. Henry crossed over to the other people who were staring at the carefully polished weapons and armor in a daze, and spoke towards the counter manager, "We want to take a casual look." ”

"Okay, please call me if you need anything. The other replied that such a conversation seemed a bit formulaic, but it was part of the deep roots of Lamani culture.

"It's very different from what I imagined, right? Naturally, Muna, Muhammad and the others walked to the well-defined scimitar display area, while Mira stood in front of the sword weapon in a daze. The sage walked over and spoke, but Mira, who was staring blankly at the display of swords numbering dozens of them, hesitated for a moment before she said "hmm".

"More like a shop than a blacksmith shop. The image of the weapons shop was in full swing, and the blacksmiths and apprentices were blackened with charcoal, and when she saw the bright and spacious shops, Mira couldn't accept it for a while.

"After all, it was an upper neighborhood frequented by aristocrats and wealthy merchants, and the appearance and decoration of the shops were also very important. The blacksmith's workshop is usually separate from the storefront, and weapons are delivered here after they have been crafted somewhere else. Along the way, you didn't hear the jingle that affected your mood, and you didn't see dirty black smoke. Henry said this, and Mira stepped forward and picked up a long sword.

As soon as she started it, the girl understood that the weapons here were all excellent.

The sword she held in her hand was the same one-and-a-half sword that Avenella's blacksmith had made at her waist. The two are very similar on the whole, both are wide blades and long gauntlets, weak in the eyes of the layman, I am afraid that there is no difference except for the appearance of the former is better-looking, but in the hands of the insider, a little observation can understand the huge gap in its details and concepts.

The Padrosi-style one-and-a-half sword is far more elaborate than that of the Avenella, with a single handle wrapped around the perimeter of the wooden handle and wrapped in soft leather, and a counterweight ball at the end that resembles a wine bottle cork. The advantage of this design is immediately clear when Mira holds it with both hands, and the part of the wine-stopper counterweight at the end of the hilt begins to gradually increase, resulting in a comfortable grip on the counterweight ball when held with both hands, but at the same time the enlarged tail at the back can play a role in preventing the hand.

Compared to the sword that hung on her waist, which had always been unsatisfactory, the design of the sword was relatively awkward, and the sword was loved by the girl just by the handle.

And its blade as the main output weapon is also very unique - this Paderrossi-style one-and-a-half sword is designed to narrow the front of the blade to attack the enemy's weak point compared to the Kiavenella style, it is sharper, but at the same time, the blood groove used to reduce weight does not open from the gauntlet to the tip of the sword like the Avenella style, but stops in the middle of the sword, and the front half retains the raised ridge, and the weight is heavier than the slotted sword because this part of the material is not shaved off.

What's the point of these designs?

The blood groove is only halfway open, retaining the weight of the front - this makes the center of gravity of this one-and-a-half sword similar to the West Coast style of the sword's wider blood groove at the front of the sword, but opening to the bottom, so it still has good slashing performance.

At the same time, however, the tapered design's sharper tip combined with the raised spine provides excellent piercing performance - it can be extremely effective in targeting gaps in the opponent's armor and dealing damage when facing enemies wearing plate armor.

-- But that's not all.

What caught Mira's eye the most was the sword's ornate gauntlet.

Although the common West Coast style sword gauntlets are curved and straight, they are only simple horizontal gauntlets, and they have no ability to block other parts at all. Not only does the sword have raised iron rings in the other two directions to protect the fingers, but it also has two smaller gauntlets at the base of the blade that are parallel to the blade.

Coupled with the bladeless area at the base of the blade, which is deliberately left blank and unpolished, everything about this sword is designed to be fought in real life.

The handguard and bladeless area are meant to be used by fastening your fingers to the handguard, making it easier to manipulate the pointing of the tip of the sword. And to match, the tip of the sword is also superior to puncture.

But at the same time, because the blood groove is not fully open, it still retains extremely superior slashing performance.

It's a far better and more sophisticated weapon than its West Coast counterpart.

Compared to it, the one-and-a-half sword hanging from his waist looked like a rough stone tool and a wooden stick.

Mira didn't want to put it back in its place at all, and she didn't want to let go of her hands like glue. The girl glanced at her teacher, Henry smiled and nodded, and she didn't hesitate any longer, and instantly turned her head to look at the young man at the counter.

At the same time, Muna on the other side did almost the same thing, holding a scimitar and turned around.

"You/Hello!" the two girls said in unison.

"How much does this cost?"
