Seeing me take out a full 50 pieces of golden dragon scales at once, Master Rondo's eyes suddenly shone, and his voice trembled with excitement: "I didn't expect that I would see so many excellent materials in a row in one day. Is this God’s intention for me to come back?”
"Master, how many breastplates can these dragon scales make in total?" I asked quickly.
"If we want to make all breastplates, we can make a total of three perfect dragon scale armors and one simplified dragon scale armor, but..."
My heart sank suddenly, and I realized that the NPC was about to enter murder mode.
Sure enough, then I heard Master Rondo say: "Dragon scales alone are not enough. If you want to build a complete armor, you also need to consume some other precious building materials. Just now you also saw the final activation of the talisman array on the armor. At that time, I used the blood of the holy dragon,"
"Master, just tell me directly. If I give you all the dragon scales, how many pieces of dragon scale armor will I be able to get in the end?" I don't want to hear the npc continue talking. I can't get those things anyway. Come out and ask directly.
"Well, you also know that the holy dragon is the most advanced dragon type. Only a few strong men on the mainland can compete with it. Therefore, the dragon blood of the holy dragon is very precious. It is often priceless and even priceless. It’s not an exaggeration to describe it…”
The cunning old guy still refused to answer my questions directly.
"Let's do this, I only need two pieces of dragon scale armor, and the remaining dragon scales will be regarded as labor fees for the master. You can use them for whatever you want, master," I suggested.
Rondo glared at me: "You have a good idea, 50 pieces of golden dragon scales can be exchanged for a dragon scale armor like Simon's. You decide whether to exchange it or not."
"Master, don't be like this. 50 dragon scales for two breastplates is already the best price. Look at old Simon, he only gave out 14 dragon scales, so..."
"Young man, Simon is my childhood, how can you compare with him?"
"I...Okay," I had no choice but to continue to compromise, "There is no comparison, but with so many dragon scales and only one piece of equipment, it would be too dark. Otherwise, Master, please give me a breastplate and a Leggings, of course they have to be perfect, and the rest of the materials are all yours."
Rondo seemed to be very satisfied with my performance and said with a smile on his face: "You are very smart. No wonder that old guy Simon likes you so much and is willing to bring you to me."
I thought to myself, Damn, the reason why old guy Simon agreed to bring me here is because he likes me. It's because he got 7 extra dragon scales from me.
But after all, Simon is my mentor and a good friend of Master Rondo. I don’t dare to offend such a person casually. Of course, I can’t express the thoughts in my heart.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master," I said respectfully.
"Let's do this. I'll make a total of three breastplates. I'll keep the one with the best quality, and you can take the remaining two. The extra dragon scales will also be mine, so if you still have If you have any opinions, then let’s not talk about it,”
When I heard this, I thought, Damn, isn't this the same condition as I said before, I will give him the remaining materials for the two breastplates? Could it be that I made a mistake in my calculations?
"Don't dare, this distribution is very fair, the master is indeed a good person," I quickly flattered him, fearing that he was not in a good mood when making equipment and would affect his performance, so he would make two pieces of garbage for me.
"While I'm working, you'd better go out and buy us some food and wine while you're free. When I smell the aroma of food and wine, I'm usually in better condition than usual. I might be able to produce three breastplates after a while. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best,” Rondo then gave me additional requirements.
This request is not excessive at all. Purchasing a table of wine and food is just a matter of spending some gold coins. Anyway, I have more gold coins and I don’t have to worry about not having enough money.
So I immediately left Rondo's courtyard and went to the Tavern Street in the south of the city to find one of the most prosperous taverns. I bought a table of wine and food according to their highest standards, and then bought the best wine in Shitan's shop. , the checkout only cost me 100 gold coins.
I was very wealthy, so I casually gave the waiter a tip of 10 gold coins and asked him to help me deliver my things to Rondo's yard.
By the time I returned to Rondo's courtyard, he had already finished forging the skeletons of the three breastplates with fine cold iron. When doing this work, it was still Simon who helped him.
Smelling the aroma of wine and food, the two old guys immediately put down their work, rushed over quickly, grabbed the food box from the waiter's hand without any explanation, swept the tools and items on the workbench to the ground, placed the wine and food, and started When talking about drinking, he chose to ignore me and the waiter who was responsible for delivering food.
I was speechless. These two old drunkards were too addicted to alcohol.
Rondo gently opened the mud seal of a jar of wine, and suddenly the whole yard was filled with the aroma of wine.
"Good wine," Rondo praised.
Then he poured two large bowls, picked them up, touched Simon, and drank to the end.
…
Soon, the jar of wine had reached its bottom, and the dishes on the table had not even been touched.
I was very frightened, worried that these two old guys would get drunk and make mistakes, and the good dragon scales would be turned into rubbish by them.
I regret that if I had known better, I would not have been so generous and bought ten jars of good wine for them in one go. I should have only bought one jar.
As a result, when I was secretly regretting it, the second jar of wine had already reached the bottom.
I wanted to remind the NPCs not to get drunk, but I didn't have the courage. If these two old guys were annoyed and they fooled me into making two pieces of rubbish equipment, I would be in trouble.
I looked forward and backward, and finally stood quietly and watched without saying anything. At this time, I could only comfort myself with the allusion of "Zhang Xu was drunk and read madly." Maybe these two old guys also have to be drunk to be as good as they are. Extraordinary performance.
The two of them ate and drank for a full hour, swallowing ten jars of good wine and a table of food that I ordered for takeout. Only then did Rondo touch his belly and burp the wine, and stood up with satisfaction. He staggered to the other side, picked up the skeleton of one of the armors, and began to inlay dragon scales on it.
Rondo held the breastplate frame with one hand, grabbed a piece of dragon scale with the other hand, and put it on the breastplate frame. However, he tried several times without success. As soon as he handed it over one by one, the dragon scale fell off again.
Seeing him drunk and delirious, I even regretted it in my intestines. If I had known that, even if all those dragon scales were left moldy and rotten in the warehouse, I shouldn't have given them to these two bastards. The NPCs in the spectrum helped create it.
Rondo burped, bent down again to pick up the dragon scale from the ground, and looked at it in front of his eyes. The fire in the stove behind him shone on the dragon scale, reflecting golden light that shone on him. 's eyes.
Rondo was stung by the golden light and quickly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, he jumped up as if he had been stung by a wasp, and handed the dragon scales in his hand to his eyes again to take a look.
"ah,"
With this scream, Rondo's eyes suddenly returned to the brightness before he was drunk, and the movements of his hands even became more skillful than before. A dozen pieces of dragon scales that had been cut in advance were quickly embedded in the A complete breastplate was formed on the frame made of cold iron. The whole process was done in one go without any pause, and the joints of the scales were so tight that not even a trace of light could pass through.
Then, Londo found the magical dagger from a pile of messy tools. His wrist flew up and down, and he quickly carved complicated rune patterns on it. The whole process was done in one go without any pause.
As a result, even before a drop of dragon blood activated it, the runes carved on the scales seemed to have come alive, full of aura.
Finally, Rondo took out the magic bottle containing dragon's blood from his arms, and carefully dropped two drops of dragon's blood on the runes of the armor. In an instant, I only felt a more intense heat wave coming towards my face, and the magic bottle in Rondo's hand The armor emits a dazzling light.
Additional: Increases the user's magic resistance by an additional 30%.
Introduction: The equipment was hand-made by the famous craftsman Rondo when he was in the best condition. The blood of the holy dragon was added to this equipment, making this equipment extra powerful in defense.
…
This piece of equipment is definitely better than the previous one from Simon. The defense has been increased by 40%, and the user's magic resistance has been increased by an additional 30%. The number of slots has also reached 5. For players, Magic resistance is definitely more important than destruction resistance, because whether players are PKing or fighting monsters, the chance of encountering a mage is much greater than encountering an opponent with destruction attack attributes.
Then, Rondo took advantage of his good condition and completed the construction of the second and third breastplates in unusually fast movements.
As two drops of the dragon's blood dripped onto the third piece of dragon scale armor, there was no change in the equipment, and there was no movement at all.
"What's going on?" Rondo scratched his head and seemed to be a little drunk again in an instant.
Then, without thinking much, he dropped two more drops of dragon's blood on the talisman lines of the equipment.
"boom,"
The rolling heat wave almost overturned the wall of Rondo's courtyard. The hair and eyebrows of the three of us in the courtyard were all singed. Rondo, who was closest to the breastplate, even had his clothes burned. The skin and flesh on the chest were scorched black, white smoke was rising, and many places were broken open, with streaks of bright red blood oozing out.
I saw bright orange-red rays of light emitting from the surface of the equipment that Rondo threw to the ground in panic.
Rondo ignored the bleeding wounds on his body and immediately bent down to pick up the equipment from the ground, then burst into crazy laughter.
ps: This chapter was very enjoyable to write. I don’t know if you all enjoy reading it. I have a vacation tomorrow and I have to go out. I will try to add another chapter when I get there in the evening. I just try not to guarantee that there will be one, so you don’t have to wait.
