Rise In Calradia

Chapter 2: : Merchant’s Commission

   Byron was the first time he killed or wounded, at least the first time he had this body. The moment the man fell, he felt his heart beating wildly, his stomach cramped, and his limbs began to tremble. However, at this time, a feeling of electric current swept through his body. For some reason, although he was still in fear, his body had returned to its original state.

   [One-handed weapon proficiency +1, current one-handed weapon proficiency is 21;]

   Two night watchmen in the tavern soon rushed out with swords and axes, and helped the businessman who looked like a businessman to subdue the robber. The other people who were awakened also walked out of the store with their weapons, looking at the scene in front of them with some surprise.

   A man fell to the ground, and a man stood beside him with a sword and a crossbow, motionless...

   After a while, the crowd dispersed, and things were clarified. Two robbers tried to blackmail a businessman in the city and were later rescued by Byron. People praised Byron. The tavernkeeper and the businessman also defended Byron from the patrol soldiers who came after hearing the news, so Byron was not guilty.

   But just like in the game, this Paravin merchant did invite him to a private room alone.

   "I was so grateful just now, these **** wanted to make some money from me, but you tell them how stupid they are. Thank you very much. Please sit down."

   The businessman invited Byron to sit down, and this clean room really made Byron feel a lot more comfortable.

"You can see that you are a warrior who knows how to use swords, and I can also see that you have a great ambition, and you don’t want to do a small business. I’m a businessman, and people are used to calling me a Palavin businessman. It’s an honor. They can let me represent my colleagues. I have a favor here. I hope you can help. Of course, it won't be in vain. You can get a suitable payment and my gratitude. What are your considerations?"

   the businessman asked seriously.

   "What do you want me to do? Is it possible that your relatives have been **** and need me to rescue you?"

  Byron thought of the businessman in the game. To be precise, no matter which birthplace he chooses, the brother of such a businessman will be kidnapped. Then he will ask the player to rescue him. The task is simple and the reward is good.

   "Kidnapping? It did happen before. Either you are well informed, or your divination is really good."

   The businessman smiled when he heard Byron's words. Afterwards, he moved closer to Byron.

"That group of desperadoes did kidnap my brother before and blackmailed me a sum of money. Although the money is not a lot to me, now other robbers and bandits are targeting my family. Just like the two people just now. I can’t tolerate this kind of thing going on. If you wipe out those bandits, my business will be much better and you can get paid. I can give you 200 dinars, how about ?"

   "How many people are there and how strong are they?"

   Although it sounds very similar to the novice mission in the game, Byron still intends to find out clearly so as not to be pitted. After all, reality is not a game after all. At the beginning, he chose the difficulty of "face life", there was no chance to save it again, and he didn't know if his so-called plug-in could make him live.

"Ah, you alone are not enough. They have more than a dozen people and they all have weapons. You'd better find a few more helpers. Whether it is an idle man in a nearby village or a drunk mercenary in a tavern, you can do it. Help you. But in the end you will definitely make money. In addition to my reward, the things accumulated by the robbers are all yours." The merchant added.

   "Well, I'll take it. Where are the robbers?"

   After thinking a little bit, Byron felt that this was indeed a good opportunity, so he nodded and accepted the merchant's commission.

"Those robbers near Paravin should have their own people, or if you know where they are hiding, you can ask them. I will stay in the tavern for a while every day. If I get news, I will also tell you. Yes. But my team still has to protect my caravan, which may not help you. If you kill those robbers, remember to bring back the head of the robber who likes to cut human ears as a voucher."

   The businessman spoke very well, and his attitude was very tactful, but in fact, Byron had never considered that he would help out. When people hire him, they just don't want to die, so how can they come out to help him?

   [The task has been accepted: Suppress the robbers: gather manpower, obtain information about the robber's lair from merchants or other robbers, and destroy the robbers in the lair. Task reward: Level 2 soldiers upgrade equipment *10; reputation 10; influence 5;]

   Finally, the cheat who didn't know what it was finally moved, even if it was a task reminder. But Byron remembered again that the system seemed to have a reminder before. It was his weapon proficiency, and only a little bit was added. And although the crossbow bolts were used, it seems that they have not been added because the hunting crossbow shot missed. He really didn't understand the things in this attribute table.

   But the toss in the middle of the night caused Byron to regain his energy. After lying on the floor for a long time, he couldn't fall asleep. When he woke up the next day, even the dark circles under his eyes came out, and his spirit was not good.

  Because of the limitations of this era and the poverty of the lower class, there is no soap for washing the face, no toothbrush for the teeth, and the hair can only be drenched with water. The worst thing is that the toilets here are not dirty, and the sanitary conditions near the pub are also very poor, with **** everywhere, swarms of flies, and there are many homeless people lying on the street.

   After some care, Byron drove the carriage to the market in Palavin. Compared with the filthy slums, the situation here is similar to the TV series I watched before. It is clean, prosperous, and crowded. The streets and lanes are full of vendors’ stalls, and there are many regular shops. If you live for a long time Here, Byron could accept it.

   There are many soldiers patrolling the streets. Many of them are to protect public order, and more importantly, to prevent businessmen from tax evasion. And if you want to do business here, there is absolutely no good fruit without tax. Just like these goods of Byron, although they were to be sold to the big merchants in the city, the tax officer also took away a piece of linen as tax.

Byron drove the carriage to a warehouse. According to what he had previously asked the merchant who entrusted him, this is the place where the wealthy businessmen in the city receive a lot of goods, but the price will be lowered so that they can have a certain degree of monopoly. Certain commodities that need to be sold in time.

"The linen cloth gives you three dinars per horse, and the wool is worth seven dinars in total. The quality of the crock is very good. It can give you five dinars and a half in total, and 21 dinars and a half in total. Keep it away."

After checking the goods, the well-dressed businessman gave Byron two large silver coins of ten dinars, and put two large bags of dried bread and a bag of dried meat on the carriage for one and a half dinars. , Enough for five people for a week.

   Although the value of the goods is far below Byron's imagination, he is relieved by the sufficient purchasing power of the dinar. He inquired. In the Paravin area, a cow is worth no more than 20 dinars, a traveling horse is no more than 30 dinars, and a recruit is only worth one dinar per week. Byron now has one hundred dinars in cash, and can already buy a small shack in the general part of the city.

   After the goods were sold out, Byron looked at his equipment. It's okay to see from the city, but if you go out of the city and fight with robbers and robbers, I'm afraid it won't be able to protect you. Taking advantage of this time, he can just add some equipment.

   Calradia has frequent continental wars, and the military industry has always been very prosperous. Blacksmiths have even made more weapons than farm tools. For guests who want to buy weapons, these merchants are naturally very welcome, even if the origin of the other party is unknown or has a lot of dark history. Only the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

  Byron looked around, but was disappointed. The weapons merchants recommended to him were some weapons that were more self-defense than usual, not much different from the sword on his body. The system also introduced a new interface for him at this time, allowing him to see the general properties of these weapons.

   [Curved dagger: piercing: 1.5 levels; cutting: 2 levels; length: 70 cm; merchant's price: 5 dinars;]

   [Rusty German Sword: Piercing: Level 2; Cutting: Level 2; Length: 95 cm; Merchant Price: 8 Dinar;]

  ...

   The attribute identification is not as accurate as the one in the game, UU reading www. uukahnshu.com But this can be regarded as a restoration of reality. However, Byron found that this attribute did not have a critical weight mark, which meant that he had to try and ask whether a weapon was suitable for him.

  The weapon merchant recommended some weapons, but Byron still doesn't match. But when the boss brought a cold, very good weapon, Byron was taken aback by the price.

A two-handed sword with the prefix "Extreme Quality" has a piercing and cutting level of more than 6. It is a customized product of the kingdom's nobles. It takes more than a year to build one, and the price is soaring to 1,200 dinars. Byron Of course, it can only be tactfully refused.

   But when Byron saw the weapon dealer turning around, a trace of disdain and pride flashed across his face, as if it was deliberately used for Byron to let him see the world. Although dissatisfied, Byron still had to admit that the other party had succeeded.

  In the end, Byron chose a Germanic sword that seemed to be sharp, and a buckler with a solid skin. After bargaining, he spent 20 dinars. As for the armor, it's a bit troublesome. Because ordinary leather armor is not as good as the thicker leather jacket he wears, chain armor is too expensive and costs a hundred dollars at every turn. As for the plate armor...Don't think about it. The two-handed sword is a noble item. There are not many knights armed with this level of equipment and riding expensive horses in Swadia.

   "Well, this is life in the Middle Ages. A piece of equipment of nobles and knights is worth the income of the poor and ordinary people for half a lifetime without eating or drinking."

  Byron laughed at himself helplessly, and left the street with his newly bought weapon and shield. He has to go to the tavern to see if he can find a suitable helper.
