Chapter 041: Why is it so difficult to buy a armor
Admittedly, even if the player doesn't eat or drink, they just can't get the buff of a good rest, and the two of them can live in a 2 silver coin multi-person room for at least 45 days, and this rain can't last for a month and a half.
But even if you don't eat or drink, as an adventurer, the maple leaf and dried tofu have additional expenses, taxes, membership, and learning skills all cost money, and sitting in a hotel or brushing up on skill proficiency is also a pure loss-
Players' time is money, and the 7 days of Early Access are even more precious, and if they are not used well, the Early Access qualification obtained by Maple Leaf and Dried Tofu will become worthless!
The two who realized this under Chen Zhou's prompting suddenly became serious, and at the same time secretly scolded the mysterious developer in their hearts.
This sudden rainstorm is definitely aimed at early access players, just to close the gap between them and other players!
Seeing that the two of them looked suddenly enlightened, Chen Zhou didn't say more, and walked out of the door after eating breakfast in three or two bites.
"Wait Tom, it's still raining heavily outside, and you'll catch a cold if you go out like this!" Seeing this, Maple Leaf hurriedly spoke up.
Chen Zhou was dumbfounded, he had never felt a risk on the edge of the Arctic Circle, how could a new body be so easy to get sick.
"I'm going to order two sets of clothes, and when the rain passes, the clothes will be almost ready."
With that, he left the White Eagle Rest without looking back, leaving only the two who began to worry after realizing the preciousness of time.
Maple Leaf: Why didn't Tom get drenched when he walked in the rain, and when the rain fell on him, it automatically slid to the side! This is definitely a big guy!
Stewed frozen tofu: Could it be that he is a spellcaster? But what spell can keep out the rain?
The answer is mage armor, and the transparent force field covering the body can even block knives and guns, and rain is naturally not a problem.
After swiping a good impression, Chen Zhou came to the ready-to-wear store.
"It's just a few holes, so you should be able to continue wearing it, right?"
Last night, the rat also shared the effect of the "passionate psalm", and for the time being, he was still full of energy and didn't want to sleep.
"I didn't care what those two people said, but the clothes in the Northland are too focused on warmth, and they are too conspicuous here."
And the defense is just like that, even the kobold's weapons can't stop it, it's better to buy some flexible, lightweight, loose casual clothes, and put a layer of armor in the middle.
The caster's treatment is about the same as that of the nobles, and the restrictions on armor are naturally relaxed.
While some arcane spellcasters (e.g., mages) have difficulty performing gesture-based magic due to their limited mobility after armoring, it is up to the individual to wear armor for magic professionals and less fragile arcane casters (e.g., poets).
"But are you a bard?"
"I think I am."
At least wearing light armor with Chen Zhou's physique will not hinder his movements.
Considering that even the kobold can give him a few hits in a chaotic battle, it is really insecure to not wear armor.
After ordering a few linen garments from tailors in a ready-to-wear shop, he went to the blacksmith's shop.
The rainstorm did not affect the blacksmith's work, making it even hotter and more sweltering, almost like a furnace.
"All ready-made swords that can be sold are placed there, and if you look for anything, you can find an apprentice."
Glancing at the tiger man who came to the door, the busy blacksmith ignored the other party.
Naturally, it is impossible for the armor used by humans to be used by the other party, and although most of the weapons are not used, they can be used to make use of them.
Most countries also have restrictions on weapons, and the sword that an ordinary person can hold is probably not as powerful as his fist.
"I don't want to buy weapons, I want to customize a set of chain armor, if I can, it can be directly embedded in the leather armor, it is better to maintain it and look good."
This request sounds like a complete source of fault.
"Let's not say that it will take at least half a year to make a set of chain armor, if I dare to make this thing for you, will I die directly if someone finds out?"
"I'm a spellcaster."
Hearing this, the blacksmith seemed to have heard some kind of joke.
It doesn't look like it.
"Whether you are a spellcaster or not, if you want to buy this kind of thing, you must have the permission of the lord, otherwise no blacksmith shop will make it for you."
No blacksmith would mess with such a life-threatening matter.
What's more, even with the lord's permission, Old Tara will not help: "And I still have the work sent by the lord in my hands, and it is impossible to make things that take too much time until autumn." ”
With only one blacksmith, a chainmail shirt for human use takes about half a year to make.
Although this thing has no gold content, it is not difficult to make a beautiful point of view.
But connecting one chain after another is definitely a time-burning drudgery.
Chen Zhou's body size is larger than that of humans, and the amount of work is conservatively estimated to be twice that of an ordinary chain armor shirt - the amount of work for 1 whole year.
Long working hours meant expensive and risky, and old Tara was a blacksmith who didn't know anything, but he was crazy to help him make such things.
Unless it is an order from a lord.
Baron Adolf has an order, so it is naturally a different matter, only Chen Zhouken works for the other party, a set of chain armor shirts, and it can be done in a few months with the cooperation of several blacksmiths.
"So I went directly to the grassland, and it was the most convenient choice to buy finished products or used chain mail made by others?"
"That's it." Old Tara nodded, unless the other party was willing to work with leather armor, scale armor and the like.
In terms of defense, mobility, and stealth, the overall performance of the chain mail is indeed the best, but the inferior armor also has the advantage - cheap.
A set of chain armor made for Chen Zhou cost nearly a hundred gold coins, and it would be even more expensive if you consider other requirements, this kind of price is not at all affordable for ordinary people or adventurers.
Other types of light armor will not cost more than fifty gold coins, no matter how expensive they are.
But then again, the fur of the tiger man was originally a natural armor, and ordinary weapons may not be able to hurt the other party, and wearing a little less armor is not much different from not wearing it.
"Okay, excuse me."
Realizing that it was impossible to buy a chain armor shirt even if he searched the entire White Eagle Harbor and Haichao Town, Chen Zhou had to leave the blacksmith shop.
Before that, he had only considered that his body type needed to be customized, and he had never realized how laborious it was to play a qualified armor in this era.
It's no wonder that armor is restricted by various countries, not to mention that only nobles, spellcasters, and wealthy merchants can afford it, and if it is piled up, it is about the same as munitions......
No, it's even worse than hoarding arms, and it's much harder to build a set of armor than to fight a weapon.
And even if it is just an ordinary person wearing armor, in the face of a warrior with only weapons, it will be a one-sided slaughter.
"Alas, it's so hard to buy a nail."
"It's hard to buy the finished product, but you can make it yourself?"
