Chapter 17 17. I Can’t Carry My Old Ring with My Laptop, so I Can only Use Code Words for Entertainment.
Walking to the door of Lilia's room, she knocked on the door and said, "Lilia, I have to go out to do something and I will be back at night at the latest. Don't run around."
After the explanation, Mo Cheng left the tavern with his suitcase. The suitcase that traveled with him seemed to have the same changes as the clothes on his body. The nearly one month of savage life in the forest caused the suitcase to withstand huge impacts several times and cause dents, but it could always recover quickly.
Mo Cheng had never thought about the upper limit of the experimental endurance, but he quickly gave up the idea. The suitcase and the things inside are among the few things brought from [hometown], and they are of great significance.
After walking out of the hotel, Mo Cheng did not rush to go to the place in his memory. Instead, he observed on the street. After a while, he chose to walk into a blacksmith shop with several high-quality weapons hanging on the door.
Ordinary, Fine, Excellent, Epic, Legend. In [Exotic], the early weapon quality is very simple. Ordinary, needless to say, is a military-grade weapon only equipped by the elite army. Starting from Excellent, it involves constant magic attributes. magical weapons.
As for epics and legends, Mo Cheng never considered seeing them in the blacksmith shop.
A sophisticated level weapon is already the pinnacle work of a blacksmith with average qualifications. The sophisticated weapons hung as signs outside this blacksmith shop may have been produced by this blacksmith shop for several months or even years.
When he walked into the blacksmith shop, the first thing that greeted Mo Cheng was a billowing wave of heat. An apprentice was pounding the iron embryo, trying to drive out the impurities with forging.
And where the weapons were hung, there were several customers looking at the goods.
"Knock hard, hard! How can I be a blacksmith with this little strength?"
The burly boss noticed that a customer was coming, and his doubtful eyes kept scanning Mo Cheng, who was wearing a priest's uniform. "Guest, if you want items related to magic, you have to go to the [Gilded Rose] on another street. There are only simple weapons here."
He wondered if Mo Cheng had gone to the wrong place. Although there were Paladins in the Church of Glory who wielded sledgehammers to knock out people's brains, Mo Cheng's body, which was not particularly strong, did not look like him in any way. They are those paladins who can kill a wild boar with their muscles.
Mo Cheng placed several Steel Storm Wolf Fangs on the table, "Steel Storm Wolf Fangs, do you want to take them?"
The boss picked up a wolf tooth and observed: "There is no damage or breakage, and it is not the tooth of an old steel wolf. The collection time will not exceed a month, and the quality is very high. Are you planning to sell it?"
Mo Cheng nodded, "How much do you want?"
"Five sticks, I will buy them as one golden griffon for each stick. If there are twenty sticks, I will buy them as five golden griffins for each stick, and I will also help you strengthen your equipment for free. If there are less than five sticks, you will not need them. They will be collected in a short time. If you don’t buy enough, it’s a waste.”
The number of Steel Wolf teeth is useless, and after the death of Steel Wolf, the tooth activity can only last for two or three months. Once the time has passed, the effect is greatly reduced, and it can only be used as a defective product.
Only when a certain amount is met, the blacksmith shop will pay for the purchase. And this amount often depends on the level of the blacksmith's skills and how many wolf fangs it takes to build a good weapon.
Each country in [Exotic Land] has its own coinage system. The base currencies of the Principality of Aundair are bronze eagle, silver lion, and golden griffon.
The currency exchange rate changes frequently, but most of the currencies used by ordinary people are copper, silver, and gold. The purchasing power of a golden griffin in Hesen Town is about 500 to 1,000 in Mo Cheng's hometown.
Because it is located on the border of the Principality of Aundair, and there seem to be rumors of conflict with neighboring countries, it is normal for prices to fluctuate significantly here.
There are also currencies worth more than golden griffins, which are used for large transactions and are related to magic.
"Twenty wolf fangs, you count them. There is no need to strengthen them for free. Just pick me an ordinary weapon."
Mo Cheng did not bargain. The price given by the boss was not high, but it was within the average. If he really bargained, he could only increase or decrease the price in units of silver coins. Although the Steelstorm wolves are the dominant force in the jungle, if they leave the jungle environment and face the indiscriminate bombardment of spellcasters on the plains, or the charge of a cavalry group, they will become meat.
If there is a wolf king commanding a group of more than 10,000 people, it can pose a serious threat to Hesen Town. But that's impossible. The resources of He'an Forest cannot support a group of tens of thousands of Steel Wolf wolves.
The money and goods were clear, and a hundred golden griffins were quite heavy, but this weight was nothing to Mo Cheng. At the same time, the other hand also held a one-handed sword with a scabbard, which was a gift from the boss.
"By the way." When he was about to walk out of the blacksmith shop, Mo Cheng turned around and asked, "What price do you want for the teeth of the Steel Storm Wolf King?"
"I can't get out." The boss shook his head, "My skills are not enough to use the teeth of the Steel Storm Wolf King. The teeth of the Wolf King are several levels stronger than the ordinary Steel Storm Wolf, and they are enough to be used as one of the main materials of excellent weapons. It’s just a waste coming to me.”
"I once worked as an apprentice in Hailsen City. At that time, I saw the price of buying the Wolf King's teeth, which was at least five hundred gold griffins." The boss shrugged helplessly, "I don't have that much money here."
Seeing that the boss didn't have the money to buy it, Mo Cheng had no choice but to leave.
The teeth of the Steel Storm Wolf King are used as the main material for making weapons. They are guaranteed to obtain two characteristics: [Sharpness] and [Armor Breaking]. At the same time, there is a high probability that the weapon can obtain similar [Wolf Pack Roar] [Wolf King Momentum], etc. ability.
Seeing Mo Cheng leaving, the boss showed a trace of regret in his eyes. He knew that Mo Cheng had the teeth of the Wolf King in his hands. But as he said, the boss was unable to forge the teeth of the Wolf King. For a blacksmith, it was like winning a five-million-dollar lottery but having no way to redeem it.
When the boss turned around and planned to ask the apprentice to hammer harder, he glanced at the weapon rack and found that the few people who had been watching and buying had left at some point.
The boss's expression suddenly changed and he wanted to catch up with Mo Cheng, but as soon as he stepped out the door, Mo Cheng was no longer visible.
There was no other way, so the boss had no choice but to shake his head and return to the blacksmith shop, "The brat from [Blood Fang] wants to bully outsiders to get money again."
The boss knew who those few people who often came here to look at weapons but had no money to buy [Blood Fang] were, and he also knew that they would probably go back to rob him and then ambush the priest to rob him.
In response, the boss had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "I hope you have better luck and don't really meet that guy."
Although the opponent tried his best to hide it, the boss who had considerable experience could still tell that the unconcealable smell of blood and the large number of steel fangs removed within two months all indicated the danger of the opponent.
"If you want to rob a butcher who smells like that level of blood, Bloody Tooth wouldn't be that stupid, right?"
On the other side, Mo Cheng, who had just gotten a sum of money, which greatly relieved his financial pressure, walked out of Hesen Town humming a song.
Although the pursuers sent by Viscount Joestar had some money with them, and Lilia also had the savings accumulated by her brother as a mercenary, the total amount of the two together was not much.
The former was because he would not bring too much money with him during the pursuit mission, and in order not to cause trouble, Mo Cheng did not even take away the ring from the caster. In this remote place, it takes a lot of time to find a suitable path for selling stolen magic equipment.
Although my brother has some savings as a mercenary, he doesn't have much savings. The rewards and dangers of a mercenary are always equal. Even if I get a large commission, there won't be much left after the healing, supplies, and Lilia's learning expenses.
