God's family

The weapons and equipment store opened by the dwarves is not very conspicuous from the outside, and it is said that most of the living environment of the dwarves is in underground caves, so the appearance of this equipment store...is not too different from a cave.The town was originally densely vegetated, and it was difficult for people not to ignore the equipment store hidden in the shade of green trees.

Open the store door covered by vines, bend down and walk in. Although the entrance is a bit narrow and cramped, there is a hole in the sky afterwards.

There is a high vault on the top of the head, and the surrounding walls are the color of the earth, covered with all kinds of weapons and equipment. When you look at it, Roger always feels dizzy—anyone who sees the numbers You will all feel headaches, right?Fortunately, he is not a trypophobia patient!

"What's the matter?" Lesant asked worriedly, quickly supporting Roger who was shaking his head and trying to wake himself up.

"It's okay." Roger shook his head, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and turned his gaze to the girl sitting behind a table facing the door.

The girl was wearing big black-rimmed glasses, with a dull expression, a strand of dull hair on the top of her head, swaying left and right with her movements. At this moment, she was seriously talking to Leon who asked about her equipment.

"Every piece of weaponry here is different and handmade, just like there are no two identical leaves in the world, so please choose carefully." The girl adjusted her glasses, "If you choose, I will I will help you take off the equipment and try it on, but it is troublesome, so please choose carefully, and don't add too much workload to me."

"How can weapons and equipment be determined just by looking at them? Obviously, you have to try it out to know if it's suitable!" Leon clearly made sense, but his expression was very rascally entangled.

"In any case, please choose carefully. If I waste too much time, I will go on strike." The girl tilted her head and answered irrelevant questions, but Leon had nothing to do if she didn't get in.

Leon, who had failed in the negotiation, returned to Lycente and Roger helplessly, and sighed, "It seems that the next step is to rely on luck..."

Roger didn't have any objections to this. After letting his eyes get used to the dense numbers, he began to carefully look at every piece of equipment on the wall.

Sure enough, as the girl said, the value added by each piece of equipment is different. Even if the appearance looks exactly the same, there are still big differences.Of course, Roger doesn't care about the appearance of the equipment, so all he focuses on is the attributes of the equipment.

"Give me the eighth shoulder pad in the sixth row on the left wall... oh, and the leather armor in the third row on the top row... the first pair of leather boots in the third row on the right wall, and the fifth on the wall behind you The wristband that ranks fifth in the center..." Roger had already thought about what type of equipment he needed to buy, and while comparing the attributes of various equipment of the same type, he made a quick decision without paying any attention to it. Leon next to him stared blankly because of surprise.

Regarding Roger's decision, the girl did not raise any objections. She just waved her hand lightly, and all the equipment selected by Roger floated down and landed on the table in front of the girl—it seemed to be a wind spell. ?But a wind mage came to work as a clerk in a dwarf's equipment shop... there must be something wrong, right? !

Roger guessed in his heart, but didn't say much, he just called Laicant to the table together, and then divided the equipment into two sets, one was for Laicent, and the other belonged to himself , After doing all this, Roger realized belatedly that he seemed to have done unnecessary things.

"...Sorry, I made my own decision without asking your opinion..." Roger scratched his hair a little uneasy, "If you think it's inappropriate..."

"It's not inappropriate at all! I like it very much!" Lacente happily interrupted Roger's words, and looked at the girl beside him with burning eyes, with a hint of impatience, "I'll buy them all!"

"A total of 120, eight gold coins, six silver coins and 83 copper coins, thank you for your patronage." The girl tilted her head, showing a commercial smile, and quoted the price accurately, "Because you bought a lot of equipment at one time, so six silver coins and 83 copper coins are considered It’s a discount, you only need to pay 120 eight gold coins~”

"Wait, wait a minute, we haven't tried it on yet." Roger quickly stopped him, and at the same time grabbed the hand that was about to untie the purse, his expression slightly distorted, "We still need to discuss which one we want to buy. .”

"Okay." The girl nodded, and didn't say much, she just put her gaze back on the scroll in front of her, as if she didn't intend to pay attention to other things seriously.

Roger heaved a sigh of relief, and helplessly pulled Lacente aside, "Now, we have encountered a problem."

"What's the trouble?" Laycent blinked inexplicably, without realizing it.

"The trouble is—we don't have enough money to buy enough equipment!" Roger lamented and covered his forehead, "You still have 37 gold coins in your purse, plus 29 of all my belongings, which is about [-] yuan away from just now. The price quoted for horror is far from it! I really don’t know that such things as equipment can be so expensive! I don’t know if this store accepts jewelry and other things as cash, or if you say that girl likes it The cub of Baludymon?"

"She's a human, not a dwarf, so she's just a shop assistant. Even if she lets go, it's useless." Lacente pierced Roger's whimsy without hesitation, "And the owner of this shop is a dwarf, and the dwarf has a lot of respect for her." Jewelry and things that look pretty but have no real value are disgusting, so they won't accept them."

"...Damn it." Roger cursed in a low voice, it's really terrible to feel like a pauper despite having mountains of gold and silver in his arms, "Then, now we can only discuss it, we should use what we have on hand." What kind of equipment is better to buy for the 66 gold coins you have? It’s mainly about you. After all, I’m hiding behind, and as...as a mage, things like soft armor are only for a while, so don’t buy them. ..."

"No." It was rare for Lacente not to obey Roger's decision. He frowned and shook his head, "I can do it without good equipment. The most important thing is your safety, Roger!"

"It's terrible, why are you so stubborn in this kind of place? Listen to me, I'm going to ask how much your equipment costs, and see if I can buy it..." Roger ignored Lacente's wishes , muttering, turned around and planned to walk back to the counter, but was pulled by Lesen's arm.

The two stalemate for a while, neither of them intends to take the lead in compromising, even Roger's money obsession did not show up.Already accustomed to giving priority to Nexant after obtaining equipment, he didn't realize that using his own money to buy equipment for others was not in line with his usual code of conduct—of course, it is also possible that Roger has already seen the richness of becoming a millionaire at this moment. In the future, I no longer care about the "little things" of dozens of gold coins.

It was Leon who couldn't bear to see it at first and broke the deadlock between the two.

"I'm really fed up. If... your parents see you fighting with your companions for more than 100 gold coins, I think they will feel ashamed!" Will Lacente tightly grasping Roger's wrist Leon shrugged his shoulders, "Come on, I still have some money, after all, because there is an item in the itinerary to buy equipment, so I brought enough money in advance and lent it to You have some, and when you return to the imperial capital, you can pay me back."

"Thank you." Turning his head to look at Leon, Lacente's eyes lit up, and for the first time he showed a pleasant expression to him.

"It's really not easy, I can get a thank you from you." Leon shrugged his shoulders and complained in a low voice, "I have the illusion that I spent all my money just to make a beautiful woman smile."

"Actually, there's no need to go to the imperial capital. After I go to Aintes, I will probably have the money to pay you back." Facing his "creditor", Roger couldn't help being awe-inspiring, and subconsciously used respect. language.

"Come on, that guy in Lacente has too much money to spend, so you don't have to compete with him to pay." Leon blinked teasingly, and put his arm on Roger's shoulder, "Of course, if you If I want to express my gratitude, I have no objection. You can help me choose the equipment. I am confused. How did you choose? I think the things you chose are very good! —— Hey! ! That's my purse! What are you doing?! You robber!"

"Indeed, the equipment you selected is my masterpiece, and it also meets the requirements of you and that swordsman. How did you do it?" Just as Leon turned around and grabbed Laycent, trying to get back his own While picking up the money bag, a somewhat hoarse voice came from behind Roger.

Roger turned his head and found that there was no one behind him, and then his eyes slowly fell, and finally found the target.

It was a dwarf who looked a little old, but he was still in good spirits—this was the first time Roger saw the appearance of a dwarf, but the huge nose and the height that only reached Roger's waist still made people feel uneasy at a glance. saw his identity.Unlike the dwarfs in the human race who suffer from a certain disease and are short in stature, the dwarves are not abnormal in proportion to their limbs, torso, and head except for being short and fat, so they look pleasing to the eye. This old dwarf is raising his head , waiting for Roger's answer.

"...I don't know, it seems that I know it after seeing it." Roger showed a somewhat distressed expression, "I don't know how to describe it specifically, I can only say...by feeling... right?"

"It's really a wonderful talent, like a dwarf." The dwarf shopkeeper nodded and praised-of course, from the perspective of a dwarf, if you say he looks like a dwarf to someone from another ethnic group, it is to that person It was the highest compliment, but Roger, who received this compliment, was in a delicate mood.

"Hey! Are you really that powerful?" Leon was also distracted by Roger's conversation with the dwarves, let Lacent's robbery go, turned around and walked back to Roger's side, looking excited and expectant.Now that Roger is so appreciated by the dwarves, he doesn't need to doubt Roger's vision. After all, the dwarves have always been an honest race, especially for their own precious works, and they will never want to see them being unjustly treated. People who know how to profane at will.

"...Maybe?" Roger shrugged and smiled, "Need me to help you choose equipment?"

"Of course! Please! As long as you can help me choose the equipment that suits me, I don't have any problem even if I don't have to pay back the money!" Leon is also a wealthy master. For rich people like them who become adventurers In other words, as long as you can get the right equipment, there is no problem even if you spend more money.

Roger's smile became sincere. He and Leon were not familiar with each other, so there was no problem of "killing acquaintances". In line with the principle of "If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard", since the other party took the initiative to If he proposes to be slaughtered, then he will never be soft-hearted.

"Then, I'll help you choose the equipment, and today you will pay for all the equipment purchased by me and Nexant, is that okay?"

"...Hey, are you serious? Don't you have a bad conscience?!" It never occurred to Roger that he didn't even show humility on the surface. Leon's mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn't intend to be serious about money, this What's the matter with this uncomfortable feeling? !

"It was you who first proposed it, didn't you? I just accepted your generous gift with respect. As for the uneasiness of conscience... I didn't do anything like threats or intimidation to make my conscience uneasy right?" Roger smiled strangely...sweetly, like a demon wagging its pointed tail.

"...You won." Leon turned his head and covered his face, deeply feeling once again that his choice was too completely wrong...

——The guy who can associate with the devil and be regarded as the same kind by him can only be a devil, not a kind angel.
