The Record of the Initiation - Legacy of the Nightmare Chapter 21 Today can still sell swords
At half past seven o'clock on the morning of the same day, outside the Adventurer's Guild. After having breakfast, Fageni came to the door as agreed last night and saw that Kino had arrived. He waved to the female swordsman: "Hey,
Good morning." Then he slowly walked into the guild.
"Good morning." Kino replied lightly and walked into the guild. "I didn't find the blacksmith shop yesterday. I'll ask someone for directions next time I go out."
There are already some adventurers waiting here after breakfast to post commissions, and the ladies at the counter are also making preparations.
"Not found? Didn't you ask passers-by?" Fageni asked in surprise. He stood in the corner and looked at the empty notice board.
"There are so many passers-by at night. I'm embarrassed to ask for directions. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I stopped someone else in an emergency?" But according to Efrageni, Kino was just shy.
"Then they don't care about you. If you ask me again, the streets can't be filled with busy people." Fageni looked confused.
"Ahem, cough, cough, anyway, I will ask for directions today. You, a guy who only hides behind others when fighting, don't worry so much." Chino pretended to kick Fageni's ass.
Fageni turned around, relaxed his body and leaned back, leaning against the wall and waiting for the counter lady to post the order. Chino just found a seat to sit down and wait.
Before eight o'clock, another group of adventurers also entered the hall. Most of today's commissions were for collecting various materials, and several of them seemed to be suitable for the two of them.
For example, collect five orchids, submit a pair of tusks of pig monsters that have been hunted for less than half a day, clean up several two-headed desperate mad dogs near the official road, etc. One of the more special ones is a generous commission from the Archmage.
, specifically to test the function of the golem.
Fagni stood in front of the notice board. He had squeezed into a good position before, but he did not rush to choose those tasks that were easier to complete and had moderate rewards. Instead, he focused on that special task.
In Lamesa, if you don't rent a house and stay in a hotel, you will spend about one to two silver coins every day. The rewards for these tasks are mainly five to fifteen silvers. The commission reward for testing the golem is fifty silver coins based on the test situation.
It ranges from hardware to hardware, and there is no limit on the number of people. But the other adventurers were hesitant after seeing it and did not take it.
Alexander and Brandon haven't come yet at this time, and Fageni thinks they probably won't come today.
Fagni looked around at the people around him, and randomly found an adventurer who seemed easy to talk to and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey man, I think this commission is at least fifty paise, why is it still here and no one takes it?
?" Kino's attention was also attracted.
The adventurer who was thinking about which commission to accept was not angry at the sudden conversation. He just continued to look at the other commissions without looking back and replied: "Anyway, I don't want to stay in the tower area for a quarter of an hour. I'm afraid I won't."
People who have been to the Tower District once will still want to go there.”
"What's scary in the Tower District?" Fageni asked doubtfully.
"The mages in the tower area are all experimental madmen... madmen, maybe you can see a slime monster several times bigger than you roaring at you before you go in for a minute." The adventurer looked at him with fear on his face.
Fageni continued: "I'm afraid even a few lives won't be enough to accept this kind of commission."
"Ah, this...so, the danger of this mission refers to the accident in the tower area rather than the golem?" Fageni continued to ask.
The adventurer turned his head back and continued to read the commission. "Perhaps there is a demon chasing you with a sword larger than the door panel."
"That's right..." Fageni's expression became solemn. "Thanks, buddy, you just saved my life." He waved his hand and took advantage of the opportunity when several adventurer team leaders took the commission and left.
He walked over to Chino and said, "Forget it, I think this is too dangerous."
"Well, if my injury hadn't healed yet, I think I could still have taken a couple of hits." Chino shrugged.
"Are you still not well?" Fageni looked confused. He glanced at Kino up and down, considered it and said, "You told me earlier, I still have extra ointment with me." He waved it off.
He waved his hand and squeezed back into the group of adventurers looking at the commission. "Forget it, let's talk about accepting the commission first, otherwise we will all be robbed."
Fagni walked to the notice board again, scanned the detailed information of various commissions, and wrote down the commissions that could be done together or on the way.
Generally speaking, the tasks suitable for Falgeni and Kino are on the nearby official road, on the south side of Foggy Night Creek and on the outskirts of Grayskull Swamp. When there are only two people and they can only fight in close combat, the rewards are richer at Foggy Night Creek.
The mission on the north side is a bit dangerous for the two of them.
"It's a pity that Alexander and the others can't be found, otherwise this kind of mission would still be possible." Kino felt a little regretful.
"Do you know how much you will have to pay if the commission fails?" Fageni turned around and asked Xiang Qino, who conveniently took down the commission to clean up some two-headed desperate mad dogs near the official road.
"How do I know? Do you think I know everything?" Kino was a little unhappy.
Then Fageni took off the task of the Demonic Pig Tusks and retreated to Kino. "You go and pick one too."
An enthusiastic middle-aged adventurer nearby told Fageni casually that one person can only receive one commission at a time. So Chino thanked him, took the paper from Fageni's hand, and went to the counter to apply for the commission. Fageni
After Niya finished accepting it, she asked: "Before doing the task, do you want to go to the blacksmith shop?"
"Go ahead, I'm going to go to a store that sells instant potions and buy a few bottles of potions for emergency use and post-war healing." After finishing speaking, Fageni walked out of the hall and asked someone at the pharmacy.
Location.
"Okay..." After hearing what Fageni said, Kino set a meeting time and place with him and went to find a passerby to ask about the location of the blacksmith shop.
Fageni was actually the first person here to ask about the location of the pharmacy. When he arrived, he found that there were various types of pharmaceuticals in the store, and he was spoiled for choice - the cheapest bottle for quickly stabilizing injuries during wartime.
It cost fifty silver. He managed to get a 50% discount from the store and bought four bottles of healing potion. He hung two of the bottles on his belt and held the other two bottles in his hand waiting to be given to Kino. After that, he left the pharmacy and went back to the pharmacy.
I went to the street and asked a passerby where there was a grocery store.
Of course, there are many grocery stores, and passers-by pointed out a few casually. Fageni said thank you and chose a grocery store. He originally wanted to buy a backpack, but this grocery store didn’t have it. After asking several stores, he finally couldn’t find it.
I could only choose a peeling knife and a metal kettle.
Kino asked several people and finally got the specific location of a blacksmith shop, but he still took the wrong route several times before he found it. After sighing, Kino walked in and asked the blacksmith shop owner if he could help her strengthen her sword, and
Take out the canon.
The big man who was forging a sword embryo with a hammer just glanced at it and continued to work on the sword. "Yours is made of special ore. I only have ordinary metal. If you don't have the same one, you can't forge it again. If it's damaged,
It can't be repaired."
"There's no way to strengthen it... Then forget it," he put away the jet-black weapon, and then took off the bone sword on his back. "Then can this sword be modified? As long as it is suitable for humans to hold.
"
The blacksmith stopped what he was doing, took it, looked at it for a while and asked: "How is your strength? If you rely on dexterity, it is not suitable to directly modify the handle of the sword."
"Strength...average." Kino has not compared with other adventurers, so she can only conclude that her strength is just okay. But in fact, her strength is not lower than that of adventurers of the same age, but in the profession of barbarian
It's really not that high among the group.
"Give me a precise request." The blacksmith put the bone sword aside and continued to forge iron.
Kino said helplessly: "Please transform this sword into a type suitable for humans who fight dexterously."
"Because it's not made of metal, there will be an additional charge. It's seventy paise in total. You can pick it up at this time tomorrow." The blacksmith continued to complete the work at hand. After all, there was no expedited fee and he had to be on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Okay." Kino didn't think it was too expensive to pay the seventy silver coins. "Thank you very much."
The blacksmith took the money, stuffed it into his apron pocket that was full of rust and oil, and continued working.
After the two met at the Adventurer's Guild, Fageni handed two bottles of healing potion to Kino and said: "Be careful not to break it. I'll lend you these two bottles. I'll replenish them next time."
Considering the distance between the official road on the south side of Wuye Creek and the east side, even if we set out at this point, we can barely come back after dusk. And because it is troublesome to go out through the north city gate, we went out through the east city gate.
It would be more cost-effective to deal with the small group of dogs first and then go to the south side of Wuye Creek.
A desperate mad dog led a group of five wild dogs in total, and three of them were injured. It was easy to solve, but the two of them were slightly injured. After a quick lunch, Fageni and Chino
Rushing to the south side of Wuye Creek, they searched for a long time but did not find the pig monster. However, when Kino was cleaning the wounds caused by the dogs in Wuye Creek, he happened to encounter a brown-haired pig, because the wound was in a relatively close location.
Fageni, who was sensitive and avoided suspicion, did not arrive immediately. Kino directly drew out his swords and rushed forward. After taking a death blow from the wild boar, he received another wound caused by the fangs.
It was now about four o'clock in the afternoon. After Fageni took off the fangs, the two tasks were over. However, it was still early, and the opposite side was on the north side of Wuye Creek.
"I'm so embarrassed when I was injured even when dealing with a pig." Kino covered the wound and did not choose to drink the healing potion. Fortunately, this level of injury did not affect Kino's activities, otherwise it would be a huge loss. "
Tsk, I was injured just by dealing with the trash fish like this. It seems that I need to practice seriously. Fageni, are you okay?"
"I don't have a big problem." Fageni washed the blood on his hands.
"Would you like to go to the north and have a look?" Kino asked.
Fageni looked at Xibei and thought for a moment before replying: "Okay, it's still early now, let's go there and have a look." He looked at the magic pig again. "What if this wild boar is still there when we come back?"
If you are here, you can cut a few pieces of meat."
Kino was a little touched when he saw that Fageni had reached a consensus with him.
Fageni lightly jumped onto a rock in the middle of the stream, then jumped over and walked deep into the forest on the north side. "Go early and come back early."
"No problem, I'm not bleeding anymore, so let's go." Kino waded through the stream and followed him.
A team of adventurers who are not too strong and whose positioning is not suitable will rarely set foot on this foggy stream in the early morning. There are not many strong teams, so there are more resources on the north side of the foggy night stream.
The two people spent a quarter of an hour searching. Although there were not many resources collected here, they only encountered an omnivorous monster called the Flash Rabbit, and this kind of rabbit was difficult to hunt and could not escape.
Extremely fast.
Kino thought for a while - should he continue deeper or search nearby and go back? The former was more dangerous than the latter. Considering the time, he would definitely go back at five o'clock.
"Kino, this won't work. Our ability to search for them is a bit weak." Fageni looked at the sky to interrupt the barbarian's thinking.
"Indeed, I don't feel good if we continue to explore."
"I have an idea." Fageni looked at the terrain again and said, "Didn't we just have a pig left? I'm going to make a trap here to see if I can pull something out. It's too dangerous to go in."
"I agree. I didn't expect you, Fageni, to be quite smart sometimes."
"What do you mean by chance?" Fageni heard that Kino agreed to the plan, so he turned back and walked back to the pig. "Let's go and move it over."
Kino responded and followed, and the two of them worked together to move the wild boar across the stream, then walked a few hundred meters and placed it on the ground as bait.
After thinking for a moment, Fageni used a peeling knife to bleed it.
"Be careful, don't get the smell of blood." Kino reminded.
"It's okay." Fageni picked off a blade of grass nearby, wiped the knife and threw it into the grass.
"Where are we hiding?" Kino looked at the shelters around him, but there was no wind now.
"Hiding in the tree." Fageni, who has many years of experience as an hunter, immediately said his choice.
The two of them climbed up a nearby tree, and soon several Flash Rabbits ran over, sniffing and looking around. They exposed their front teeth and began to gnaw on the demon pig. The relatively thick pig skin was actually bitten through in just two bites.
Fagni gestured to Kino from the tree, saying not to worry about it. The latter also gestured to express understanding.
In less than two minutes, these little rabbits had eaten one-fifth of the wild boar. After the rabbits left, more rabbits ran over. It seemed that the wild boar would be finished within a quarter of an hour.
Fageni had a puzzled look on his face. [Is this called Rabbit Creek? Why are it full of rabbits?] He thought to himself that it was not his own anyway, so it didn’t matter if he finished eating. Fageni signaled to Chino not to move and to continue waiting. If nothing happens,
When you get there, go down the tree.
Seeing this, Kino waited patiently, but just as Fageni expected, after about a quarter of an hour, the wild boar had turned into clean white bones.
Fageni waited for the rabbits to disperse and then got down from the tree. "There are so many rabbits here." He looked at the bones and asked Kino to come down.
After climbing down from the tree, Kino joked, "It seems that your wishful thinking was in vain. The meat of this pig is worth a lot of money."
"It's not a big problem. I've seen this kind of frustration a lot. I'll look back and see if I can make the simplest chicken trap." Fageni kicked away the bones covered with rabbit teeth marks, and one of them
The ribs were kicked far away.
"Let's go back first and hand over the commission." Kino said.
"It's more dangerous here, and there are fewer people, which just makes these animals less brainy." He looked around to see if there were any vines clinging to the trees. When he found that there were not any, he hummed: "Go back, tomorrow
We can come again." Fageni walked back home.
"Let's go, let's go." Kino glanced at the pig skull again, remained vigilant, and followed Fageni away.
The two people returned to the North Gate at dusk. After two routine checks, the two people returned to the Adventurer's Guild and submitted the mission, each receiving fifteen silver coins as a reward.
During the process of submitting the commission, another counter lady came over and told the two of them what Alexander had said during the day.
Fagni nodded, "Thank you." Then he looked at the sky outside the hall and said to Kino: "I plan to go to the blacksmith shop to see if there are good weapons. Didn't you go there during the day? Take me there.
Just one trip."
"Okay, I'll take you there." Kino happened to also want to see the progress of polishing the bone sword, so the two of them went to the blacksmith shop where Kino went during the day.
The two people walked silently on the streets of Lamesa. It was getting late, and the number of pedestrians who had finished their work was gradually increasing. When Kino led Fageni through the crowd to the blacksmith shop, Fageni took a look at the inside of the shop.
One of the weapons is unblinking.
Kino also took a look. In addition to the weapons that had been displayed in the morning, there was a short sword in the corner of the room. There was a red gem inlaid at the end of the tin-plated hilt. You could vaguely see some daggers on the sword.
Dark red texture.
The blacksmith opened the curtain of another room and walked out of this door to look at the two of them: "I just finished modifying your weapons and plan to close the door early. Now that I'm here, take it away." The boss saw clearly that it was Kino.
He turned around and walked in again.
"Huh?" Fageni didn't understand what he was talking about at all. He looked at Kino. Since it's closed, let's wait until early tomorrow morning. Fageni thought and planned to go back to sleep.
"Could it be that my sword has been modified?" An unexpected surprise. If there is no problem, I won't use it tomorrow.
"I'll come back tomorrow morning." Fageni turned around and left the blacksmith shop. "Meet you tomorrow in the lobby of Alexander's hotel."
Just as Fageni turned around to leave, the boss came out. He was holding a much smaller but more ferocious-looking bone sword in one hand. One side of the sword had many serrations polished on it, while the other side was not sharpened.
It's blunted. Now it's better to call it a bone knife or a serrated stick.
"Since there are customers, it's okay to close the door later, if you don't plan to spend too much time." The boss handed the bone knife to Kino.
"Thank you, boss." Chino took the bone knife and looked at the reborn weapon, feeling very satisfied.
"Ah, then..." Fageni immediately turned around after hearing this, and then took off the iron bar on his back. "I feel that this knife is not sharp enough. Can you help me modify it?"
The boss looked at Fageni's big iron bar and laughed out loud: "Guest, you really like to joke, can this be called a knife? It's better to hit someone with a stick."
Fageni looked embarrassed: "I can't help it. This seems to be a fire stick passed down from my ancestors. I used this when I didn't have a good weapon. Now it's easy to use. I still need to break it in when using other things. It's better to transform it and continue." Use it." Fageni looked at the weapons placed around him. "But if there is a better weapon, I wouldn't mind replacing it."
"In my opinion, this iron bar really has no value as a weapon, but if the customer insists on doing this, I can only say to try it, maybe the knife will be scrapped after quenching or hammering."
Fagni nodded and said, "Then give it a try. It won't matter if it's scrapped anyway. I'll pay for it, please."
"Put it on the ground and pick it up tomorrow afternoon." Perhaps to the boss, this thing doesn't even have the value of being placed on the table, but this also shows that Fageni is a genius in using this thing to perform sword skills.
"Fageni, you are also very powerful. You can use an iron bar for so long... I always thought you only used this thing because you are short of money." Kino looked shocked.
"What should I do? I don't have any good weapons. Even this thing is better than the knives and spears made in the village." Fageni put the knife on the ground in the house. "Then I will buy another knife. I have another job tomorrow morning." He planned to choose a knife that was heavier and had stronger armor-piercing capabilities.
"Just take your pick, there are no exhibits here that are just for sale." The boss looked very confident when he said this.
This place should be specially designed to serve adventurers. In addition to a few table knives, there are all kinds of cold weapons, and they all look good. "Guests can pick it up to try it out, and change it to normal weapons. I should be able to use any weapon quickly." Even the boss is very good at talking.
Fageni picked out a powerful long sword made of fine iron and asked: "How many paise is this?"
"Thank you for your patronage, eighty-five paise." The boss handed the weapon over with both hands. It was heavy enough, and it might have been weighed down for a long time.
Fageni nodded, handed the money to the big man, and took the knife in his hand to feel it. "It is indeed a blacksmith shop in Samira City. The ones in the village are incomparable." This is a disdainful city name. All the words are pronounced wrong.
Kino thought for a while and took out the forest guard. "Excuse me, how much is this worth?"
"This store does not recycle used weapons, because most of them are not easy to sell. If they have to be sold, the price will be a little higher than the original price of the metal." This means that he does not want to collect scrap metal.
"Okay." Seeing this, Kino put away the forest guard. It would be good as a backup weapon.
"Of course magic weapons are a special case, and those are very popular." The boss added.
"Then I'll leave first. If it's in the afternoon, I might not be able to make it in time. We should be able to get the knife in time at dusk." Fageni waved to Kino. "See you in the hotel lobby tomorrow morning."
"Okay." After Fagni left, Chino said goodbye to the boss and left.
"Two customers, please leave. I'll close the door as well." The boss shouted and closed the door.
The two of them returned to the hotel separately. In fact, it was much more convenient to live together, but Fangni had to save some money and stay in the shabbiest hotel. Kino couldn't live with these people. After all, it was better for women to live there. The place you click has no other meaning.
