I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

The price of seventy-five silvers sounds a bit high. A dagger only has so much metal. No matter how good the workmanship is, it shouldn't be sold so expensively.

But during the days when Elena was an apprentice, he had been exposed to forging knowledge a lot. Such a dagger mixed with some rare metals must be priced at more than one gold.

With this exquisite workmanship, it is not impossible to sell it for about two golds in the outside world if it is added with the gimmick of a master craftsman.

Now that it is sold to Elena for seventy-five silvers, let alone recovering the cost price, I am afraid that I will have to pay some money in.

"Isn't this... not good?"

Elena was a little afraid to accept such a favor. In his opinion, his relationship with Melissa was not deep enough to give so many discounts.

"Take it, this is what I made. I made it when I was taking the apprenticeship exam. There is no use for me to keep it. It will just accumulate dust."

Melissa said quite strongly, without any intention of taking it back.

But after hearing the other party's explanation, Elaina felt even more embarrassed. This was Melissa's first work. No matter how well it was made, its existence alone was already quite precious.

This was something that could be kept as a lifetime commemoration, but it was sold to an outsider at such a low price.

However, Elaina also knew Melissa's temper. She would never change her decision. Continuing to persuade her would only make her unhappy.

The crossbow was also accepted. Although there was no name on it, Elaina felt that it was probably made by Melissa.

This forging method was very much in Melissa's style, wild but not without fineness, and it also came with a foldable arrow shooting, a good product that even a weak woman could barely use.

"Thirty silver."

Looking at Elaina's skilled inspection of the crossbow, Melissa said lightly with a confident smile on her face, as if she was not afraid that the other party would find fault with it.

A dagger and a crossbow cost a total of one gold and five silver, which is almost half of Elena's money.

This is not counting the cloth armor. Even if the cloth armor looks like it has been stored for a long time, it will definitely cost more than half of Elena's money.

Melissa was probably very conflicted when she took it out. Elena had said before that she only had a budget of about one gold.

If it was a brand new product, the price would probably be very high. Although there is an option not to buy cloth armor, fighting is inherently dangerous. It is really dangerous to have no protective gear.

Considering this, Melissa took out this relatively old cloth armor from the warehouse. Although it doesn't look good, it is still maintained on a regular basis, and its defense can be expected.

"Twenty silver."

This is the lowest price Melissa can offer. It can almost be regarded as the cost price, not counting the labor cost.

One gold and twenty-five silver, so much money was spent in the blink of an eye, especially borrowed money, which made Elena quite painful.

"I...I want it."

But he had no other choice. Melissa was so concerned about this matter that he had no room to refuse.

Through this incident, he also knew that Melissa was very careful. He didn't know whether it was her character or she just saw Elena as her junior brother, or both.

Elena held the wooden box with some trembling and opened it in front of Melissa.

The blacksmith's daughter, who had a blank expression just now, finally couldn't hold back her face.

The box was full of copper coins, and the number was too numerous to count.

Originally, she thought Elena had suddenly made a fortune, but in the end it was still the same. It was obvious that such a large amount of money was saved by daily frugality.

Helping Elena pick out the copper coins weighing one gold and twenty-five silver, to be honest, Melissa regretted selling the things to her junior brother.

Hands were almost numb from counting the money, and looking at these copper coins, her eyes were almost blurred.

Elena didn't even go to the store to exchange for large-denomination silver coins before coming back. Who would use so many copper coins to buy things that cost gold coins?

However, despite complaining, Melissa still helped Elena honestly and even helped him to buy cloth armor on the ship.

Elena was quite moved by her attentiveness. This person was the most attentive to him in all these years except for Elena and Weiwei, even though they didn't seem to have a very good relationship.

Thanks to Melissa, Elena's equipment purchase process was quickly completed. He spent more money than expected, but got equipment of much better quality than he expected.

On the way to the Adventurer's Guild, the more Elena looked at the dagger in his hand, the more he liked it. The quality was really amazing. I'm afraid it would feel bad if I used it to stab someone.Without too much resistance, this dagger is so sharp.

But as he looked at it, Elena's expression became a little subtle. He always felt that the design of this dagger was too feminine.

It made sense when he thought about it carefully. Melissa didn't think about selling or giving it to others when she made it. Naturally, she made it according to her own needs.

But Elena seemed to have seen a similar style in a book. This seemed to be a dagger that noble women often carried with them.

Except for those noble daughters who practiced martial arts since childhood, most noble women only cultivated their value as noble daughters since childhood, that is to say, most noble women actually don't know how to fight.

The reason why they don't know how to fight is that they carry such daggers in their hands, naturally, if they fall into the hands of enemies or villains one day, the other party will target their bodies, and when necessary, they will commit suicide to protect their purity.

If you can beat others, you can naturally fight with a dagger, but if you can't beat them, you can just stab yourself.

If the other party can also attack the corpse, then you can only blame yourself.

Thinking of this, Elena's face looked a little ugly. Such a dagger didn't seem to be suitable for his identity, and the existence of this dagger was not designed for fighting.

After a little entanglement, Elena still put the dagger back into the matching scabbard.

Even if the original intention of the design was not to fight monsters, it did not prevent it from being an excellent weapon.

Elena had no conditions to entangle such details, and there was no need to be picky about such details.

Melissa was willing to sell this dagger to him at a low price, and Elena was very grateful.

If he made money in the future, Elena would definitely take care of Melissa's voice, and if possible, he could also help promote it.

After all, the blacksmith who designed this design was not just forging iron, reputation and status were equally important.

After all, blacksmiths with reputation and ability are very popular no matter where they are, and most blacksmiths also hope that their works can be famous all over the world.
