Suldak put these magic items back into his magic waist bag, then stood up and opened the curtains, letting the dazzling sunlight shine into the faded brown oak floor. He opened the window, and a sparrow fluttered from the eaves.
Flying away, the cold air outside rushed in. All the leaves in the small garden below the dormitory had fallen. The shrubs and low walls and a few sycamore trees looked bare. The lawn was covered with a layer of snow, and it was full of clutter.
's footprints.
In the open space in the center of the small garden, there are several trainee knights practicing sword swinging. Their movements are a little out of shape, and their lunges are not solid at all, but they are very serious. They also choose practice wooden swords that are slightly heavier than knights' long swords.
.
It snowed twice since the beginning of winter. Although the afternoon sun was exceptionally bright, the cold wind still felt like a knife blowing on my face.
Surdak glanced at the thick Craftsman's Sword at his waist. This Craftsman's Sword was re-received from the guard camp. The previous one had been damaged in Grenfell Manor, and Surdak burned it until it was completely destroyed.
After the dark craftsman's sword was brought to the logistics department of the guard camp, Gwendolyn directly approved the scrapping order and gave him a brand new one.
He didn't plan to wear the standard full-covered black iron armor all day long. Not to mention it was bulky. The main reason was that when he walked in the academy, others would point at him from behind and call him "Hailanza Black Dog". In contrast,
The title 'Clerical Knight' is milder.
Many knights like to wear leather armor with light texture. Surdak's set of Warcraft leather armor was damaged in the battle with the Dark Red Knight. Now if he wants to buy a suit that fits better, he has to go to the leather shop to have it custom-made. And Surdak
Dark's magic waist bag also contains some high-grade salamander leather, which is suitable for making leather armor.
Suldak found a leather shop that could cut and make high-grade leather through Karl's introduction, and made an appointment there in the afternoon to customize a set of more personal-fitting salamander leather armor.
No. 59 Qilinluoka Street is located on the easternmost side of the small townhouse facing the street. This leather shop does not have a conspicuous plaque. It only has a leather curtain around the rainproof eaves at the door. The attic glass windows are wiped very clean.
Through the glass window, you can see many exquisite leather goods on the shelves inside. A shop assistant wearing a white shirt and leather vest is holding a brush and applying grease to maintain the leather goods on the shelves.
Suldak stepped off the magic caravan, paid the driver a silver coin, turned around and walked into the leather shop in front of him.
When I opened the door, I touched a string of wind chimes hanging on the rainproof eaves curtain, and then I remembered a series of sweet wind chimes.
The shop clerk was a handsome blond young man. He put down the leather protective gear in his hand, walked towards Suldak, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Knight, this is the Aibe Leather Shop. What do you need?"
The room was filled with wooden shelves, on which were placed various styles of leather items, leather armors, leather bags and exquisite saddles. Surdak walked next to a wooden figure, which was covered with a set of leather.
A, the exquisite tailoring skills allowed Surdak to find no seams in the leather armor, and the texture of this beige leather armor was very soft, and it felt like a girl's skin.
Suldak stopped and said to the shopkeeper: "Master Abe and I have made an appointment to meet in the afternoon."
"Are you Knight Surdak?" the store clerk asked tentatively. Seeing Surdak nodded slightly, he quickly led him into the rest area inside, poured him a cup of warm milk tea, and said: "You
Please sit here first, I will inform Teacher Aibe right away."
There are many leathers hanging on the white walls around the rest area. There are handwritten notes underneath these palm-sized pieces of leather. They include geomancer, swamp giant crocodile, two-headed basilisk, spiny-tailed crystal lion, salamander, basilisk, white
There are all kinds of skin samples of rhino and other second-level monsters, and they are all explained in detail. Surdak stood nearby and watched with interest. Several pieces of cyan armor the size of a palm were placed on a specially customized shelf. The scales actually had
A series of dark lines.
Suldak wanted to get closer and take a closer look. A middle-aged man walked in from the door, and the young shop assistant followed him obediently.
Suldak guessed that he should be the private leatherworking master. When Karl introduced him to the Abe leatherworking master, he told him that the protective gear made by this master was very popular in the city of Halanza.
Leatherworker Abe looks to be in his forties or fifties, with a neatly trimmed beard. He wears a white shirt and leather vest similar to those of a store clerk. He looks smart and capable. He has a measuring tape on his shoulders and looks from the inside.
walk out
When he came to Suldak, he looked at Suldak carefully from bottom to top, and then said straight to the point: "I am Abe, a leatherworker in the city of Helensa. I heard from Karl that your skills
There is some salamander leather in there, are you planning to make a set of leather armor?"
Suldak nodded quickly and said: "I am officially here for this matter."
Abe leaned on the sofa, smoothed his loose curly hair, and asked: "Are you going to make ordinary high-grade leather armor, or the base material for the magic pattern structure?"
“Master Aibei, is there any difference between the two?” Surdak asked with some confusion.
"Of course!" Leatherwork master Abe said. He took out two drawings from under the square table and explained to Suldak with reference to the drawings: "Making an ordinary high-grade leather armor does not count towards the integrity of Warcraft leather.
High, as long as there is enough leather, it can be made. As for the base material of the magic pattern structure, you must be very particular about the texture of the high-grade leather used. In addition, if there are too many hidden wounds on the leather, it is not suitable for making magic patterns.
The base material for the magic pattern structure, those inscription masters have almost strict requirements for the base material for the magic pattern structure."
"Then I think..." Surdak hesitated a little. He had never thought about making a magic pattern base material before.
However, Surdak has learned more about magic pattern constructs recently, especially since the Dark Red Knight and Captain Sauron both wore magic pattern constructs, showing extremely powerful combat power. Surdak
Dak had some spare money on hand, so he would naturally have some ideas.
Seeing that Surdak was hesitant, Master Abe smiled slightly and said, "Knight Surdak, you don't have to decide right away."
"I want to take a look at the high-grade leather you prepared first. I once met a customer who prepared ten pieces of high-grade leather from White Rock Rhinoceros in one go in order to make a magic pattern construction base material. However, these leathers were covered with hidden wounds. In the end,
I can't even put together a piece of magic pattern construction base material, I can only make some high-grade leather armor. Since you brought your own leather, I think it is necessary to do some appraisal first."
Suldak took out three folded salamander skins from his magic pocket, piled them on the square table, it looked like a big pile, and said directly: "Then let Master Aibe take a look!"
Master Aibe did not expect that Surdak would take out so many salamander skins at once, and after carefully analyzing them, he said: "These are three very good salamander skins. The peeling method of this one is a bit too amateurish.
It is not advisable to separate the leather at different places. When I take the materials in the future, I need to extend the leather from the waist and abdomen to the inside of the hind legs. If the leather in these places can be connected together, it can be made into a seamless front half of the breastplate.
, in order to reserve a large area in the magic pattern structure for the inscription master to engrave the magic pattern array, naturally the fewer seams in the leather armor parts, the better."
Suldak said with some surprise: "It turns out... there are so many talks about skinning..."
Master Aibe laughed dryly: "Of course, although the division of these three salamander skins is not ideal, the texture of the leather is pretty good, and the lizard tail and belly skin are well preserved and fine.
If you cut it a bit, you can piece together two sets of base materials for the magic pattern structure, and you can still use the leftover scraps to make five sets of ordinary high-grade leather armor without any problem."
"Well...actually I only need one set." Surdak frowned slightly. He was not prepared to make so many sets of leather armors at once. Should he make them all for himself?
Master Aibe looked at Suldak with some astonishment. He came to him to make high-grade leather armor. Isn't it to put together a few more sets of magic pattern base materials?
Then he said: "It's a pity that this kind of high-grade leather cannot be used as the base material for magic pattern construction. You can think about it carefully before making a decision..."
Suldak took a deep breath after walking out of Aibe's private leather shop.
He turned back and waved to Master Aibe who was standing at the door to see him off. He turned and walked to the street. As he walked, he thought: The cost of custom-made leather armor is really expensive. Even ordinary high-end leather armor is more expensive than outside.
The leatherworking shop is quite a bit taller. As for the base material for the magic pattern structure, the production cost of a set is five times that of ordinary Warcraft leather armor. Each set of magic pattern structure base materials actually costs ten gold coins.
The production cost is really prohibitively expensive.
In the end, Surdak decided to follow Master Abe's advice and make full use of these leathers to make a set of ordinary high-grade leather armor and three sets of magic pattern structure base materials. After all, to make the magic pattern structure base materials, you still need to hire a leatherworking master.
It is safer to perform the operation, and the success rate of making magic pattern structures in the future will be greater.
Thirty-two gold coins were taken out at once, which made Surdak feel a heartache in his heart.
Fortunately, he obtained thirteen magic crystals from the black magician. Of course, this also gave Surdak the confidence to make four sets of high-grade leather armors in one go.
In addition, there will be a lot of salamander leather scraps left. Although it cannot be used as the base material for magic pattern construction, there is still no problem in making ordinary Warcraft leather armor. However, of course, these scraps do not need to be made into leather armor.
It is of course best to keep the leather in hand, as you will have more options in the future.
According to Master Aibe, that set of ordinary leather armor can be used for daily wear, and the three sets of magic pattern construction materials can be saved first. If you can get five sets, you can find an inscription master and try to make it for yourself.
To make a set of magic pattern structure, ordinary inscription masters draw the magic pattern structure. Although there is a high probability of failure, if you want to use five sets of leather armor base materials to build a set of magic pattern structure, the chance is still very high.
Of course, the cost of asking an inscription master to make a magic pattern structure is even more outrageous. Many small nobles will regard the magic pattern structure as a small fortune, which can be inherited to future generations almost like the territory. From this alone, it is not ugly.
How expensive is it to draw a set of magicweave constructs?
Suldak was walking on the street. Suddenly a magic caravan stopped on the street. Darcy Christie opened the carriage door and leaned out her upper body. She was wearing an exquisite long skirt, even in the severe winter, she still had to lift her shoulders.
When she was exposed, she was hit by the cold wind, which made her shiver a little.
She casually took a fur shawl from the maid behind her, jumped off the magic caravan, stood on the street and asked Suldak: "Suldak, why are you here?"
She is tall and tall. She is half a head taller than Suldak when she wears dancing glass slippers. No matter which man she stands in front of, she will always face some height pressure.
Suldak pointed to the row of townhouses on the street behind him, and then said: "Oh, hello, Darcy. I'm here to visit Master Abe and ask him to make a set of leather armor for me."
Darcy Christie nodded repeatedly. It seemed that she also knew the leatherworker Aibe. She said to Suldak: "The leather armor made by Master Aibe is barely passable. The main reason is that there is no better leatherworking master in Hailansa City.
.I just want to make a set of light armor, but I don’t have any suitable leather on hand at the moment. I’m going to try my luck at the auction house tomorrow to see if I can buy a spiny-tailed crystal lion skin.”
“…Oh, I was just here to chat, and I almost forgot to introduce you to you…”
Darcy Christie's expression was a little exaggerated. It could be seen that she had definitely not forgotten to introduce herself to her friends because of chatting, but was planning to chat with Suldak first. She was an arrogant, willful and somewhat selfish noble lady with a certain...
He has some bad temper that he doesn't know he has.
A young aristocratic lady emerged from the carriage. She was dressed almost the same as Darcy Christie, but she was much shorter than Darcy Christie. Her appearance was not as beautiful, but her quiet face was to Suldak.
Said, but it is a bit familiar.
A young nobleman jumped out of the carriage first, and then he reached out to help Miss Hoyle jump out of the carriage. The young man looked eager, and anyone could see that he and Miss Hoyle had an unusual relationship.
Intimate, since there was no news of Miss Hoyle's marriage, Suldak guessed that the two were probably a couple.
Darcy Christie did not think that Suldak would know Miss Hoyle, so she directly introduced her: "This is Miss Hoyle, the hostess of Hoyle Manor, who will be awarded the title of first-class viscount. This is Miss Hoyle.
This is Knight Ivan Baruch of the Baruch family in Helensa City. They are all my friends. This is Knight Surdak, my... colleague at the Knight Academy."
"Hello, Knight Surdak, I have been hearing your name from Darcy recently." Miss Hoyle looked at Surdak deeply. She would never forget the tall man in front of her riding on the mountain road.
With such a majestic look on the horse, he killed the bandits and helped her when he was in the most embarrassing situation and needed help. Then, regardless of reward or mercy, he put her on the horse and let her go.
An old horse carried her back to the city of Helensa... She could have been more dignified and didn't have to act so embarrassed. At least she had to change out of the dress that was torn to pieces by the bandits. Thinking of this... she felt
Gratitude and hatred are intertwined.
"Good afternoon, Miss Hoyle, Knight Baruch!" Surdak did not expect that he would meet Miss Hoyle one day, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. This city of Helensa is really a bit small.
But the young nobleman put on a false smile and said kindly to Suldak: "Please call me Ivan. It's rare to meet him here. I suggest we find a place to sit down and have a drink."
!”
‘Here we go again… Is drinking the way people in Halanza communicate?’ Surdak wanted to slap his forehead hard, turn around and leave.
