Mercenaries and Adventurers

The shop is decorated in a grand manner, and the outer wall of the shop is built with neatly stacked and undamaged rock bricks, which looks solid and old. But Kiel knew that Dorne Town had not been established for many years. Considering what he heard from his defeated opponent, the Lord of the White Wall, Dorne Town was formed after the nobles ruled by the Whitestone City Wall Gate were driven away. , was established on the side of the southern province.

Quite a bit like fighting against the Baishi City Wall level.

They are all trade distribution centers, but the Baishi city wall checkpoint has a solid city defense system, which can be safely guarded there under the control of the garrison. Moreover, it is backed by the city of Montorca and the large farmland and countryside around it, so it has strong strength.

And Dorne Town not only has no garrison protection here, but also no strong city wall protection, and there is no big city around it as a backing.

It looks a lot worse, but from what Kiel actually feels, Dorne Town, which has completely liberalized local control, should have gained the upper hand in trade in the past years.

I couldn't figure out a word or two behind it, so Keel put it down and wandered around in the shop.

He originally thought that the lighting in the clothing store with solid walls might not be good, but when he came in, he realized he was wrong. The store has a second floor, and there is a lighting patio in the middle that runs through the second floor.

At this time, the thick wooden boards on the patio that sheltered from wind and rain were pulled by ropes and opened towards the south, allowing the light from the sun to come in. In particular, the bottom of the board is painted with silver-white paint, which increases the reflection of light.

In this way, the interior of the store is well lit, even though the store's street-facing walls are made of thick, solid rock bricks.

Of course, there are still necessary lighting measures.

Interestingly, there were no oil lamps and candles in the store, probably because the flames would ignite the valuable clothes and clothing in the store, so the lighting was replaced by several luminous stone **** embedded on the wall. These stone **** are engraved with densely packed small characters, and they even rotate slowly in the semicircular groove along the wall.

Bright and soft golden light emanates from the stone ball, making the whole store look rich and warm.

In each of the four corners of the square shop sits a fully armed shop thug. Different from the thugs watching the horses for him at the door, these four men were all wearing well-fitting mail armor and bright blouses, together with the full metal clubs around their waists, they looked very different.

However, the four thugs didn't look at Kiel, who was dressed in young fashion. After all, Kiel was smiling at this time, and he was also dressed to attend the banquet.

"Young master, welcome to our 'Beautiful Clothes'. Do you want me to accompany you around the store at will, or do you have something you want? The store is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper part is the clothes you wear inside. This layer is the clothing that is worn outside."

A young clerk from the shop came over, first glanced at the clerk from the Fortune Fruit Chamber of Commerce who was following Kiel, and then spoke to the young man who was walking in front.

Although Keir was curious about the various clothes here, he knew that it was almost dusk and there was not much time before the moon rose after dark, so he said directly: "I want to participate in a local Banquet, you see, among these clothes, my cloak is not suitable, lead me to the place where the cloak is, and I want to buy a suitable one."

The store clerk could spot the matching problem of Keir's clothes at a glance, so after listening to what Keir said, he bent down and reached out to guide him to the side of the shop.

The inside of the store is roughly arranged in a back-shaped space, with men's cloaks facing inward on the left side.

After Keir walked over, his eyes lit up, and he liked the cloaks and cloaks displayed outside the tall wardrobe very much.

"Look, young master, this is a work made by our shop's senior tailors last month, the 'Starry Sky Cloak'!"

The store clerk proudly introduced this cloak: "It is made of the color and image of the starry sky in the sky, and it was remanufactured with reference to the popular style that came from the capital last year—the astrologer suit. "

"The deep color scheme is like the deep night sky! The bright ones are the diamonds and various gemstones fixed on the cloak with special techniques, which naturally represent the twinkling stars above our heads! It is rumored that every twinkling star is exactly O every **** high in the pantheon!"

What this person said was very bluffing, but none of the people present believed his nonsense.

But the words are big words, but this cloak is very dazzling, no, it is not appropriate to say dazzling, because the entire starry sky cloak is generally very restrained and deep, but there are a lot of gemstones scattered all over the cloak, even if the particles are very small, But it also shows luxury.

However, the reflection and color of gemstones can only be seen when you get close. A little farther away, the charm of gemstones and diamonds seems to be covered by the deep night.

Of course, Gere really liked the shop favorite on display.

He opened his mouth and asked: "It's a very good thing, so what's its price?"

The shop clerk's answer made Keel's subsequent words choke in his throat.

"Master, it costs one hundred and ninety-eight gold coins, which is less than two hundred gold coins. It is guaranteed to make you stand out in any, no, at least any banquet in our southern province!"

One hundred and ninety-eight gold coins, good guy, this price not only made Kiel speechless, but even the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce from the "Fortune Fruit" Chamber of Commerce behind Kiel was shocked from ear to ear.

"Sure enough, it's a price that attracts people's attention. Hehe, to tell you the truth, this price is beyond what I can afford."

Kyle said with regret.

"It doesn't matter, besides the proud work in this store, we also have a lot of cloaks and capes, and you can always find one that suits you! Then, do you need me to help you choose, young master? After all, there is no time for the general banquet to start. How long has it been?"

Facing the help from the store clerk, Keir nodded and agreed: "Then please, pick the one that suits me, and the price is satisfactory, and I will give you a reward."

"Thank you for your generosity, all of this is what I should do." The store clerk smiled, and he raised his eyebrows proudly at the other fellow clerks who were chatting not far away, and then opened the The large wardrobe for cloaks and cloaks, and a rare square full-length mirror were graciously brought in.

A large mirror itself is very valuable. Although the production of glass in another world is very mature, it is very difficult to transport a large mirror itself. higher. So this full-length mirror alone is worth at least one or two gold coins.

"Master, I see that you are wearing a cloak, so when it comes to attending a banquet, do you need a cloak that can be used normally, or a cloak that is more decorative than practical?"

Keir thought for a while: "It's all right, there are still a few cloaks, so if it's a cloak, it's pretty good."

Hearing what the young Kiel said, the shop clerk walked to the large wardrobe where the cloak was, and fingered the neatly hung cloaks of various colors.

"Young master, in terms of color, which color do you prefer? It also depends on your personality. If you are passionate and brave, I recommend red! If you are calm and wise, you recommend blue. If you are cheerful and lively, orange is very suitable. If you have a calm and powerful personality, you can definitely choose black. If you belong to the practical group in the family, I recommend gray! In addition, due to legal requirements, we also have the noble purple in our store, but you must show the proof of the family's noble title. "

"If you have the corresponding beliefs, you can also say that the most popular color in the town is golden yellow, ah, it represents the color of the Church of the God of Wealth, and it is also the color that those who truly possess wealth and pursue wealth should choose. "

The store clerk talked a lot in one breath, and it was obvious that the other party was an excellent store sales clerk who was familiar with these things.

On Kiel's side, he propped his chin with one hand while carefully examining the various cloaks with his eyes.

He thought about it for a while, and the others didn't move, they were all waiting for him to speak.

"Red! And black! These two colors, do you have a good-looking cloak that matches these two colors?"

Keel had unique requirements, but that was no problem for the premier clothing store in Dorne.

The shop clerk rummaged through the pieces with a confident smile, first picked out the red and black cloaks, and then put back the solid color and other color cloaks. In the end, he still had three black and red cloaks in his hand.

"As you can see, it has been selected according to your requirements. Now, please try them on in front of the full-length mirror and choose your favorite cape. Of course, if you can't choose, buy them all. It is also a beautiful thing, eliminating the trouble of choice.”

Facing these words of the store clerk, the clerk of the "Fortune Fruit" Chamber of Commerce smiled disdainfully, shrugged his shoulders and whistled softly.

Despite his attitude, the taunted store clerk did not dare to glare at him. After all, the clothes on the clerk of the chamber of commerce indicated that he was the actual manager of Dorn Town—a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the "Fortune Fruit" chamber of commerce.

Although the 'Good Clothes' clothing store has a big business and a strong background, on their territory, they still dare not take the initiative to provoke people from the Chamber of Commerce.

Kiel untied the knot of the cloak on his body, gathered the ordinary black-gray cloak into a bunch, and then rolled it up for the Chamber of Commerce staff behind him to hold.

Then he took a black and red cloak from the shop clerk, and before he put it on, he just held it in his hand and looked carefully, and he frowned.

It's not that there is any problem with the production of the cloak, but that the combination of the two colors on the cloak is a bit simple and poor. It looks like simply cutting two black and red cloaks of solid color, matching them and sewing them together.

"Forget this one, the style is a bit simple."

Keir returned the one in his hand and took the next one.

This one is much better. At first glance, it has a black base, bright red strokes, and interlaced diamond-shaped silver lines on the edge of the cloak as decoration.

Nodding in satisfaction, Kiel stretched out his cloak and put it on behind him. He grasped the silver locks on the front of the cloak with both hands. After observing, he brought the two silver locks close together, and then used the two steel hooks on the edges to hang them firmly.

click.

The cloak was put on Kiel.

From the front chest to the buckle of the cloak in the middle of the neck, to the soft fabric stretched to the sides on his shoulders, and to the trapezoidal convex bottom edge that hangs down to his knees behind him, the entire cloak weighs less than a catty. Nice and light.

Keir swayed his body left and right in front of the full-length mirror, then waved his hand and stretched out the cloak behind him, which looked very good and suitable.

He didn't want to choose any more, and Kiel smiled directly with satisfaction and said, "That's it, I won't try the next one. Does this cloak have a name? What's the price?"

The store clerk first complimented the person and the cloak, and then answered Kiel's question: "The names of the clothes in the store are usually chosen by the creators themselves. If it is a cloak, you can find it in the cloak Behind a certain silver clasp is found the name of the tailor who made this cloak, and the name of his work."

Kiel chuckled slightly: "Isn't this made by a tailor?"

"Hey, speaking back to this young master, the works made by craftsmen are the gorgeous works that are mainly displayed in the store. It's not that the works of other tailors are not good, it's just that they are not as famous and skilled as tailors."

While listening, Keir turned over the silver buckle on his chest, and found that the surface was made of silver, and the hook body inside was made of stronger steel components.

Behind the two silver clasps hanging together, one of them was clean and clean, while the other was engraved with a few words, and he then read aloud: "'Night Ambition', good guy! That's the name. Tsk tsk, the maker is , Tailor Apprentice Polly Orizes."

The store clerk's eyes lit up when he heard the name of the cloak maker, and immediately added: "Master, this Polly Orizes tailor has now been promoted to a tailor craftsman! Although he is not particularly famous, there are some well-known works It is sold in stores all over the country. Our stores have in-depth cooperation with craftsmen so that we can always get their latest works for sale.”

Kiel rolled his eyes: "So, what about the price? It won't be that he is already a craftsman's producer, and he has to pay more for his works before he became a craftsman? That's not how the account is calculated. For these craftsmen , always the latest work is of the best quality, especially when the craftsmen are relatively young. So even if it is a famous craftsman, the works of their youth, although the collection is of great significance, but in terms of practicality, It’s also hard to compare yourself with yourself in other periods.”

"At best, it's not bad. I know the well-known masonry craftsman in the Kingdom-Master Lean Hude. The price is about the same."

The store clerk couldn't refute Keir's words, so he had no choice but to agree. Finally, when Kiel asked about the price of the cloak, the store clerk had to leave for a while, saying that he was asking the store manager.

Soon, the store clerk came back: "Master, our steward said that you are right, as it should be. In addition to the face of the 'Fortune Fruit' Chamber of Commerce, we will give you a price discount. The price of this cloak is two gold and six silver in the end. .”

Kiel nodded. Although the price was expensive, he could barely accept it with his current wealth, especially when he had done a wave of harvest when he was hunting down the bandit's lair.

He has a small bag of all kinds of gemstones alone, and the price of this is not easy to calculate. And more than a hundred gold coins were harvested, and more silver coins were harvested, doubling the number. As for the copper coins and iron coins, he mainly used them as the team's change of funds.

"The price is okay, here, take it."

Keel took coins from his purse and handed them to the shop clerk. He gave an extra silver coin as the other party's reward.

The guy holding the coin happily left and handed the money to the steward, and then brought a wooden box, which was used to hold the cloak.

"No, I'll just wear it and go to the banquet."

After finishing speaking, Kiel took the cloak he was wearing before from the Chamber of Commerce buddy, folded it, pressed it, put it in this small wooden box, and asked the Chamber of Commerce buddy to help hold it.

"Okay, although there are still many good things in your store, I like them all."

When Kiel said this, he looked at the starry sky cloak as a display with his eyes full of regret.

This work is too expensive, not something he can afford with his current wealth.

"But I still have a banquet to attend tonight, so let's go."

After Kiel finished speaking, he swung the gorgeous cloak behind him triumphantly, and strode out.

Behind him, a member of the Chamber of Commerce held a small wooden box and followed behind Knight Kiel. And in the back, the store clerk who just got the reward waved his hands happily and said: "Young Master, please go slowly. I wish you a happy banquet tonight, and I wish you a long and healthy life."

After hearing this, Keir chuckled twice, jumped outside the shop, put his hand on the saddle and turned around to sit down.

"Go, take me to another jewelry store. Let's move faster."

Keel looked at the sky above his head. The sky had already turned dark blue, and night was coming. When the mountains on the west side swallowed the sun and the sky turned from dark blue to black, night would come.

At that time, according to the calculation of the day, it will not be long before the first round of the moon will emerge from the eastern horizon.

If the date is correct, the first moon on UU Reading www.uukanshu.com tonight will be a full moon. As for the other two moon goddesses, one is shy and waiting to let go. This period of time is the first quarter moon, which is gradually unfolding. The other moon goddess will cast a veil of shadows and say goodbye to everyone briefly. It is the last quarter moon that is about to enter the hidden moon.

Having said so much, it means that the time for the banquet to start is almost here.

Apparently, the fellow of the chamber of commerce who followed Kiel understood this meaning, he nodded and trotted down the street towards the center of the town: "Master Knight, just ahead, just ahead, turn the corner, the biggest shop is just there .”

Kiel patted the blood licking grass's stomach lightly, and the horse started to hoof, and easily caught up with the trade guild guy who was leading the way.

"My lord, your horse is really good. It is tall and strong, and it runs lightly."

The Chamber of Commerce employee looked enviously at the prairie horse beside him, which was half a body taller than him.

The blood licking grass seemed to have heard the compliment from the villain next to it, so it snorted proudly and shook its ears excitedly.

Kiel smoothed the mane on the horse's neck and smiled triumphantly: "Of course not bad. This is the blood of the 'Old Overlord', a well-known horse in the western provinces. It cannot be won by wealth alone. If you want to become Its owner, you have to subdue this horse first."

"Then what's your best idea, Sir Knight? I have saved a fortune and want to buy a good prairie horse."

Keir laughed loudly, and answered the question from the Chamber of Commerce clerk: "I lifted it up, and then I subdued it! Otherwise, this is still a stubborn horse."

"Lift, lift it up?!"

The guildmate was dumbfounded, and then he remembered that the young man in front of him, who was younger than him, was actually a knight from the north.
