Mercenaries and Adventurers

Keel scratched his head and laughed.

His smile, coupled with the fact that he was not wearing a solid and cold metal armor at this time, made him feel like a young man under twenty years old.

"I lost my memory once before, and when I woke up, I was rescued in the wild and taken to the city. To be honest, I didn't have much money before I became a knight. It was all the spoils I got in recent battles."

The old man stroked his beard and nodded knowingly: "Well, I can think of some simple ways to make you look more sophisticated."

He waved to the surrounding merchants and called the rescued people over: "You heard it all, everyone think of a way, our Lord Knight is in need of help right now."

Others gathered around, commented on Knight Kiel, and started discussing in low voices. Keir also stood confidently on the spot, with his legs spread apart and his waist tucked in, asking everyone to give him advice. Most of these people are knowledgeable people who have traveled far and wide, and should be able to put forward some pertinent opinions.

The old man first touched the head of the boy who was snuggling beside him: "Come on, let's talk about it first."

Although the young man had been quiet since he was rescued, and looked like a frightened little beast, he was actually from a wealthy family. At this time, he was asked to thank the knight brother for bringing back his sister's relics. , so he said: "The knight needs a hat, and the adults all have a nice hat."

Kiel touched the top of his head, and sure enough, except for the hair, the head was a little empty.

"It's not that I don't have a hat, it's just that the hat I like is a bit strange, so I might as well not wear it." Keel laughed when he thought of his rabbit hat.

The old man didn't know what Knight Kiel was smirking at, so he reminded: "An ordinary hat will do. If it's simpler, it can be temporarily decorated with bright bird feathers. If you want to look better, you can temporarily add some gems to embellish it. Fabric Don’t think about Seiko, and gold and silver decorations can’t be done in a short time. You can try the two I mentioned.”

"I picked up a few ordinary hats during the battle, um, gemstones, and bird feathers."

When Kiel thought of gems, he naturally thought of the elf-powered gems obtained from the ancient ruins of elves, so he quickly shook his head, thinking that this thing was still too expensive to be used as a decoration. But what, Toba?

He said, "I have a batch of bright blue bird feathers, so I'll bring them here and let everyone see if it works."

After finishing speaking, Keir asked everyone to wait in place. He quickly ran back to the carriage, and opened the ordinary box on the carriage as soon as he got in. He didn't enter the lady's dream this time, after all, the captured hat and the bird feathers plucked before are not precious things, and they don't deserve to be put in the dream camp specially.

"Here it is, here it is, let's take a look."

Kiel ran over with a few things in his hands, and in one hand he held a few ordinary-style hats. Although ordinary, the hats had been washed and dried by his hands. They were quite new, and they were very clean. Odor after time wear.

The old man was well-informed and recognized the source of the feather at a glance: "It is the tail feather of a blue magpie. Although it is common, it is quite suitable for decoration. This can be used. My lord, don't you use gemstones?"

Kiel handed the things to the other party and shook his head: "We don't need gemstones, so it's probably not easy to put them on the hat, right? It's not easy to put them on temporarily without a gemstone holder. What should I do when it falls? It's so distressing." .”

The old man smiled, picked out several hats, chose a hat with a younger style, and handed it along with the blue magpie's tail feather to the middle-aged woman among the rescued companions.

"Please take someone to sew the hat and the tail feathers together. Please be better at the craft, move faster, and get rid of it."

The middle-aged woman smiled, took the things and greeted the other rescued women, took the sewing kits that had been distributed to them before, and started tinkering.

They first washed the tail feathers of the blue magpie with clean water, and then combed the feathers with a little bit of oil so that the fine feathers on the top would not branch. A needle and thread in a matching color was found and the tail feathers were properly sewn to the front of the hat with complex techniques.

Seven or eight bright blue blue magpie tail feathers stand upright on the front of the hat, which is quite beautiful.

While the ladies were busy, the merchants were not idle, and began to give Kiel advice.

The old businessman took the lead this time, and pointed out accurately that Knight Kiel could replace the strange pendant on his neck with a gold or silver necklace.

"Anyway, it is used for hanging. It is the simplest and most suitable action to directly replace the ordinary string with a precious metal pendant necklace."

Keir lowered his head and pinched the string of the black big bird wood carving, and felt that what the other party said was correct: "But where can I get the necklace? I don't have any on hand."

The old businessman said affirmatively: "Master Knight, please rest assured that there are jewelry stores for wealthy people in Dorne Town. You can go there and buy a single precious metal necklace before going to the banquet. Please trust me, old man, jewelry There may not be many precious gemstones in the shop, but the gold and silversmiths usually make more than one gold and silver necklace. You can buy it and replace it.”

Keir nodded and wrote down this method. On the way to the banquet later, he can take a detour to the jewelry store.

The wood carving of his **** is not a whole. Although the bottom of the wood carving is a whole piece of black wood, the bird image that occupies most of the volume on the top has a gap for the slender rope to pass through.

So it is very easy to change the rope.

"Is there anything else? Do you have any suggestions?"

Keir got two image transformations, so he was quite satisfied, and immediately asked.

Of course, other people also have suggestions. A middle-aged slender businessman with a rather gloomy expression said: "Master Knight, if you have some jewelry used by men in your hand, you can show it. This is the function of jewelry. Their own The mystery of value lies not in your own collection and use, but more in letting others see the value and meaning of jewelry itself, and recognize the wearer's tendency and wealth status!"

What the middle-aged businessman said was complicated, but everyone understood the meaning. Keir nodded: "So, specifically."

As he said that, he took out the wooden bracelet of the Church of Saturn in his right hand that was originally hidden in his sleeve, and exposed it on his wrist, so that others could see it when he raised his hand.

The bracelet itself has always been stuck on his forearm, so that it does not hinder the movement of the wrist when wearing armor. Now that he is not wearing armor, he can put it back to its original position.

No one reminded him, he forgot about it.

Afterwards, Keir returned to the carriage, took out the captured magical luminous pendant, hung it on his belt, and accompanied the two daggers. He hadn't figured out how to shut the thing off, so after a few days, its continued operation drained its magic power, and now it no longer glows.

But people with a discerning eye can tell that this thing is a magic item, so even if it cannot be used without magic power, it can also be used as a decoration. After all, for a magic item, before it is used, it is very difficult for people who are not often exposed to magic items to know what it is for just by looking at its appearance.

It is just right for decoration and has more face.

He didn't wear a ring on his hand. After all, he was a warrior. If he had an inappropriate ring on his hand, it would greatly affect the feel of holding the weapon. It's normal to not have a ring to show off.

Another businessman offered to add a decoration to the front of his belt buckle, but there was nothing good for a while, and he didn't know what to do. Keir also thought about it in distress for a while, and made a gesture of size. He felt that the dwarven coins obtained in the rocky mountain in winter were just the right size to fit on the front of the belt, which was more suitable.

Moreover, the coins of the dwarves are square, and the coins with large denominations are inlaid with fine gemstone particles, which are perfect for decoration.

This time, Kiel returned to the camp in the dream, and quickly took out the dwarf coins that the goblin was tired of playing with.

He showed this thing to everyone. No one had ever seen such a large denomination coin of a dwarf, so this thing was turned around in everyone's hands for everyone to look at it.

Then Kiel put the dwarf's large denomination coin on the front of his belt buckle, gestured, and it was just the right size.

This thing looks like an orange-yellow reflection, but it is not gold, but an unknown metal or dwarven alloy, which is resistant to oxidation and wear, but its hardness is not particularly high.

At least under the fingers of Kiel's full use of life energy, the corners of the coin were folded back, and it was firmly fixed on the iron buckle of his original leather belt.

Play with it hard, it is very strong, and it can't be pulled off with ordinary force.

The merchants were quite sorry for this, because they felt that the dwarven coins decorated with gemstones in this way were very valuable without thinking about it.

Even if you don't find a dwarf for trading, if you exchange it for a wealthy collector, you can exchange it for a large sum of money.

In addition, a pair of Keel's trousers had to be slightly modified.

The straight trousers are in line with Kiel's own aesthetic perception from a different world for the local, but local men like trousers that fit the curve of the legs.

So soon, Keir took off his trousers, bare his hairy legs, and handed the trousers over to the ladies for temporary slimming and styling.

"Boots! My lord, your boots look good, and are a fashion. But something needs to be changed!"

This time it is the turn of the young businessmen to express their opinions. Although they are not wearing the shoes they originally liked (the original shoes were worn out by robbers), they still have different characteristics from other ages. segment of the popular perception of the right shoe.

"These boots need to be tucked in so they can match the tighter trousers!"

One said so.

Another young businessman also said: "If possible, having a unique pattern on the sole is a good way to distinguish it from ordinary boots! But this technology is in the hands of highly skilled shoemakers, and we can't do it."

Keir also felt a little pity.

At this time, the old businessman suggested that some decorations could be added to the horses of Kiel knights.

To put it simply, it is to add a 'clothes' to the blood lick, that is, a decorative Syandana for the horse. It doesn't need to be complicated, just use the tent tarp that Keel no longer needs.

As soon as he thought about it, Kiel quickly brought over the old tent that was packed into rolls. The big guys started together and cut the whole square tent tarpaulin with his pocket dagger into pieces that can be hung on the back of the horse. large pieces of fabric.

Keel removed the saddle from the blood lick and several fixed belts around the abdomen, and then used the seized leather tools to sew a large piece of cloth on the harness.

After re-attaching the sewn harness to Bloodlicker's body one by one, his unformed 'war horse' is actually a strong and tall prairie horse with excellent blood, and it is dressed in a suitable gray color. Waterproof smock.

On the whole, the length from the neck of the horse to the left and right swings, the tail, and the place that can be seen from the front of the body are all simply covered, which not only increases the protection against ordinary sharp weapons, but also protects against rain. Wet the whole horse.

However, after adding new 'clothes', the blood licking grass was a little uncomfortable, jumping from side to side, and then turning around, always wanting to tear and tear the new clothes on her body with her teeth.

Keel calmed it down for a while, and then fed it a few more beans before calming down the restless it, allowing it to accept the small changes in its body.

-

Soon, the trousers were changed, and Keir finally got rid of the embarrassment of showing a pair of hairy legs. The boots are also cuffed at the back to match the trousers better.

The modified gorgeous hat was also sent up. Keel put it on his head, got on his horse, and asked everyone, "How is it? It looks much better now, doesn't it?"

The young knight showed an excited and cheerful smile, and the front of the hat on his head was decorated with bright and lively blue magpie tail feathers. What is attractive is that the belt buckle is decorated in the middle of the belt, and the exotic style reveals the unique aesthetic and adventurous experience of the belt owner.

The multiple weapons on both sides of the belt reveal the young knight's excellent combat ability, and a magic pendant that has not been used yet reveals a hint of the knight's background.

A wooden bracelet with blue light flowing on the wrist clearly reveals the belief tendency of the owner of the bracelet.

Even if he can't feel the huge blessing power of Saturn in Knight Kiel, he can easily know his relationship with the Church of Saturn.

The tight-fitting trousers reveal the muscular curves of the muscular legs, together with the well-fitting black boots, Kiel Knight's young age is clearly revealed.

In addition to the tall and strong war horse, after being covered by the tarpaulin, the figure of the war horse looks stronger and stronger, full of the viewer's sight.

The merchants looked and looked, and the eyes of the ladies were shining, and they waved their arms excitedly. Even if the young knight is not handsome, but young and powerful, he is ruthless to the enemy and gentle to his own people. This is enough. .

The old businessman frowned and pointed out the most conspicuous deficiency on Kiel at this time: "My lord, this ordinary cloak is a drag on your demeanor. Hey, it would be great if I could replace it with another one."

Everyone else nodded, that was indeed the case. After Keir's whole body was modified in this way, the ordinary cloak was the most hindering thing.

"Have you got a nicer cloak? This hood is so out of place."

Kiel scratched his cheek and said, "It's not that I don't have it. I have two wolf fur cloaks, but they are both worn in winter. It's too hot to wear them now. It doesn't fit."

There was no other way, and everyone had to leave regretfully.

Before leaving, the rescued middle-aged woman approached Keir on horseback and said that if possible, please don't let her leave the team in Dorne.

"Why? To be honest, I thought that you, like Ms. Feneya, left here on your own initiative in the afternoon. No one here is stopping everyone from leaving. I want to repay my life-saving. This is a good thing. I welcome it. But in the same way, you can leave directly if you want, after all, everyone's current situation is not very good, and no one is stopping everyone from going out of here."

This pungent middle-aged woman shook her head: "Master Kiel Knight, that's not the case. I know Dorne Town very well. It's really a good place for rich and powerful people. It couldn't be better. But it's not an easy place to live if you don't have money. It sucks, it sucks. My husband is rich but his business doesn't extend here, and if I leave, I won't even be able to eat Accommodation is difficult.”

"Except for Dorne Town, any other big town nearby is fine. If possible, can you please send me to other places? My lord?"

Kiel nodded: "It's easy, ma'am. Although there is no specific direction yet, my partner, Bloodfang, has already gone to inquire about the news nearby. When he comes back, we will know which direction to go. When the time comes I will make proper arrangements for you to meet your husband. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Of course, if possible, a reasonable reward is of course the best."

The middle-aged woman nodded and retreated into the crowd with a smile: "Although the current situation is not good, please believe that there will be rewards that satisfy you. I have a lot of property myself."

"Then, thank you for your help, let me attend the banquet in Dorne Town and meet the big businessmen who manage the local area. Let's see what they all want to say to me."

At this time, the old businessman said: "You don't have to say anything, Lord Knight. For us, although we can't compare with noble gentlemen, banquets and exchanges between businessmen are also an indispensable activity. Especially now In the chaotic situation, a young knight leading hundreds of people is worth holding a banquet."

"Please rest assured, you will face all kinds of moderate scrutiny and prying, and take turns to respond to small situations. These are the things they would do if they judged you alone."

Keir raised his eyebrows: "Oh? All kinds of temptations? How do you know so clearly."

The old businessman nodded, and said seriously, "Because that's what I did in our place."

"All chambers of commerce above the scale do this. Please relax, ignore those troubles, eat and drink, and don't take the initiative to answer some questions that you are asked to answer. Just try a few times, and your perfunctory attitude will make them understand. Entown is just a place you stop by on your journey, and you don't do anything about it."

Keir laughed: "Are they so afraid of everything from outside?"

The old businessman shrugged and rubbed the head of the young boy who was snuggling beside him: "You are right, they are terrified. We businessmen are a group that depends on a stable situation. Chaos can make money, but ordinary Days can make a lot of money."
