Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 5: Ximu Town II

"make a deal!"

Siegel stuffed two gold coins into the dwarf's hand, and immediately got busy. There are hundreds of things here, most of which were destroyed in the battle, and the surface is covered with marks of knives, swords, thorns and hammers. Many armors were still stained with blood, some dark red, black, and even a few pieces of dark green.

However, most of them are armors with weak protection ability, and it is impossible to expect to find a set of exquisite armors from this. For example, the full-body armor of a knight is a custom-made luxury item. A set costs 1,500 gold coins. Half-body armor can be slightly cheaper. Even ordinary breastplates cost more than 400 gold coins. Good things of this level will not flow into the hands of the grocery store, and adventurers who find them - no matter how they "discover" them - will be very careful to hand over the armor of the cuirass level or above to a familiar good blacksmith. Grit your teeth, spend a lot of money, and change to equipment that you can use.

Siegel carefully observed the busy dwarfs, pinched his chin, and thought about it for a while. Then he roughly rummaged through the current inventory and decided to target the chain shirt.

The so-called chain shirt is a protective clothing composed of interlocking metal rings, which can generally be worn between layers of clothing or leather armor. In the face of machetes or long swords, this armor provides good protection for the wearer's upper body. However, this armor has three disadvantages: it will be relatively weak when encountering blunt weapons such as warhammers, it will make noise when it moves, and rust-proof maintenance is also very troublesome.

The price of chain armor is about fifty gold coins, which is comparable to the price of scale armor. Generally speaking, it is a grade higher than leather armor and leather armor—after all, it is already metal armor. And this thing has a benefit that cannot be ignored: as long as you dismantle all kinds of metal rings and assemble the chains, it can be regarded as a piece of armor.

This is much easier than modifying inlaid leather armor like a tailor and a blacksmith.

Siegel got pliers, metal scissors, and hammer, sat beside the dwarf, and got busy. He learned very quickly, and his hands were strong, and he mastered the skills in half a day. Later, he could close his eyes and tell whether the metal ring was made by humans or dwarves just by the feel of his hand; he knew which parts needed to be replaced, and which parts were the key to withstand the impact; he mastered how each ring should be In what order can the weight of the entire armor be balanced. He forgot to eat and sleep, skipped lunch, and stayed by the pile of armor all the time. By the afternoon, he had put together the body of the chainmail shirt, including the padding and outer cover.

When the work was over, Pi Ya also took the opportunity to hand him a glass of water and let Siegel gulp it down. "This water has no odor at all!" He was surprised: "Where did you get the good water?"

"Distillation! It's a new technology, it feels good." The dwarf took the opportunity to sell: "I tried it. This water can be kept in the skin for two weeks, which is much better than non-foaming beer. Adventurers will pay. To buy this safe water, only one silver coin of wine can fill a large water bag."

"I wish you a prosperous business." The squid returned the cup to the dwarf. "Your water is better than the best spring in town, and you will surely make money."

"That's true." The corners of Pi Ya's mouth turned up slightly, and he weighed Siegel's chainmail shirt with interest. "Nice armor, much better than I expected. Maybe you have the potential to be a good blacksmith," he concluded.

"I have to thank you for telling me the secrets of the grocery store," Siegel said. "I never thought there was such a big business out there."

"What are you going to do next, do you want to go to the weapons store?"

"No, Lord Sir will choose weapons. He said that he will find suitable equipment according to my training situation. He is a powerful swordsman, and his vision is not wrong. So I don't need to buy any more, and I will stay until sunset. Here, use these armors of yours to practice your hands, maybe you will have time to repair a few sets."

"You are so kind, so I'm not making a lot of money?!" The dwarf said happily, jumping up.

Before the sun went down, Siegel was busy repairing his armor. He was working faster and faster, and the skilled dwarf mechanic next to him were amazed. This afternoon he repaired two more chain shirts, and helped organize a small pile of leather rivets. The mechanic at the grocery store taught him the secrets of dismantling and repairing scales, and he helped install a heart guard in Siegel's chainmail shirt.

"It's definitely comparable to a dwarf's craftsmanship," the dwarf said proudly.

In this way, Siegel has his own armor, and this armor can be slowly modified according to the growth and changes of the body. He put his chain shirt under his coat and returned to the inn with his head held high proudly. Knowing that no one could see the mail shirt inside him, Siegel still felt invincible at the moment, like the king of the world.

When I returned to the hotel, it was already full of people, and many sailors gathered here, singing loudly. Because the owner of this place, Timothy, was a sailor and used to be a great first mate, the sailors regard this place as their own territory, a good ship that will not sink and be happy forever.

"When you are hungry, eat meat; when you are thirsty, drink wine! When you are happy, eat meat; when you are hurt, drink wine!" The lyrics are more like a battle cry, they sing: "Avoid pirates, eat meat; face the storm, drink wine! When you meet brothers, add wine to meat; when you meet beautiful women, *get up!"

Siegel made his way through the crowd, making way for strong muscles or a chubby belly. He noticed that the sailors here looked him up and down, especially the black hair. Several sailors whispered: "Look, isn't that the child of the legendary squid?"

"Hey, bosun, this way!" Siegel followed the sound and found an acquaintance. Johnny - "Bucktooth", who worked on the South for a while before moving to another job due to a 'labor dispute'. Siegel remembered Johnny as an honest and enthusiastic man. They were about the same age, they were doing the same job under the first mate, and they knew each other well. So he squeezed through again and sat next to his old friend.

After a few years of absence, "Bucktooth"'s oral problems have become more serious, and now his two front teeth may have begun to change from rabbits to beavers. He sat eating and drinking with two sailor friends, and the table was full of gnawed chicken bones and big bowls of wine.

"Come, come, make room for the bosun." Johnny pushed his partner. The drunk sailor fell straight from the chair and fell asleep on the messy floor. Others simply expressed contempt and ignored him.

"Bucktooth, when did you land? How are you doing recently?" Siegel sat down unceremoniously and nodded to Johnny's friend. Buck Tooth's drinking capacity in the past was astonishing, and his companion who could still stay on the table was about to reach the limit. His head was dangling in the wine bowl, and his eyes could hardly be opened.

"It's okay, it's just arrived today, you don't know, this voyage is too thrilling." Buck Tooth was very excited when he spoke, as if he still had lingering fears about the experience. After finishing a bowl of wine, he said slowly: "We met orc pirates at sea, and you also know that orcs can see clearly in complete darkness, so they cunningly chose to follow us in the cloudy night until dawn. It was only after our lookouts found the orc ship that it was less than 2 miles away. We ran as fast as we could and threw everything we could throw overboard, and you can imagine the chaos."

Yes, this can be imagined. Siegel had seen orc pirate ships from a distance, and the dead heads adorned the sides of the ships made him horrified. It is said that the orcs will eat all the food after boarding the ship, robbing every item of cargo, and then eating the dead crew members and the remaining living crew members in turn, accompanied by abuse, **** and dismemberment in the process. Thanks to the squid's good eyes, the orcs never got a chance to get close to the lucky Soth.

"The orcs used a trebuchet to throw an anchor with an iron chain, and one hooked our rudder, and we couldn't swim very fast, and the distance was getting closer. The captain told everyone to take up arms, either hack the enemy to death, or Hack myself to death, in short, I can't be tortured to death. My job is to watch the female passengers on the ship and help them out when the situation is bad. You know, a few women who don't make sense are crying and begging me to let them jump boats, thinking that there is still a chance of life. They have never seen sharks and monsters following the orc ships."

"How did you escape?"

"A big golden ship saved us." Bucktooth shouted "For the invincible big ship!" and drank another bowl. "I have been paying attention to the orc pirates behind me, so I don't know when a golden warship is approaching. The ship is very beautiful, with five sails, and it is fast, like flying on the sea. The big ship came close, On the deck of the ship stood many fully armed warriors with spears that were three meters long and looked like a forest. The orcs saw that there was a better ship, so they loosened their long chains and changed their targets excitedly. We took the opportunity. run away."

"What happened after that, that big ship?"

"I saw a flash of light erupt from the golden ship after the two ships were moving away, and then the orc's ship caught fire and billowed with black smoke. The golden ship must have won, and I wish I could thank the owner of that ship in person, I am willing to work on it for a year for nothing."

Buck-toothed companion is sleepy, UU is reading www.uukanshu. When com heard this, he couldn't help sneering: "Just you? One more big buck tooth on such a beautiful boat? Don't make fun of the ugly."

Johnny waved his hand and decided to ignore the guy who was about to get drunk. He just spoke to Siegel: "Bosun, how are you doing now? I met the South a while ago. Why didn't you do it on board?"

"The old captain left, and I got off the boat."

"Respectable old man." Buck Tooth and Siegel toasted together, respecting the old captain.

The two talked about their experiences after separation, and after a while they sang along with the sailors. Several presumptuous sailors shouted, asking Timothy to increase the service of the waitress here, which aroused unanimous applause from everyone. The tavern owner knocked on the table and asked loudly where the relatives of these sailors lived, and he must send a boat to call them Yunyun. The drinkers cheered louder, not at all afraid to make things worse.

Sailor's rule is that the drunk guy stays and pays, and the guy who doesn't fall is eligible to sleep in a woman's arms. Buck-tooth was still thinking about women, so he said goodbye to Siegel after drinking three more bowls, and walked easily to the 'back alley'.

Siegel was also a little dizzy. He didn't want to stay and pay for the whole table, so he went back to the upstairs room after Bucktooth left. The room was very simple, like a sailor's cabin: there were comfortable hammocks, a warm fire, boiling water next to the washbasin, and a large jug of pale beer on the table.

'It couldn't be better,' thought Siegel. He washed his face, lit the oil lamp, and sat at the desk. Before going to bed, he opened the book from the man in the robe and read it carefully again.
