Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji was hungry and waited for a long time before the meal was served. The kitchen of the chamber of commerce served the same old thick soup with black bread, but he didn’t care about his hungry stomach growling. Zhao Ji even ate two bowls of thick soup before he wiped his mouth in satisfaction, covered his stomach and hiccupped.

Originally, chef Hui Nier would not make a bowl of soup for Zhao Ji, but in the afternoon, he had already heard about Kiel's hunting deeds from the staff of the chamber of commerce, so he gave the hungry Kiel an extra bowl Thick soup, encourage him to make persistent efforts and make some achievements. It is best to marry a girl and start a family in the future.

After eating enough, Zhao Ji came to President Huwei who was eating alone. The old Huwei who was eating slowly saw that the person sitting next to him was Kiel, who was talked about everywhere today, and he already guessed what he was going to say. .

Foxtail smiled and waited for Kiel to speak.

"President Foxtail, have you heard about my going to the swamp south of the city to hunt slime monsters in the past two days?" Zhao Ji asked.

"I heard that you did a good job, Keir. I didn't expect you to have such outstanding skills. Is there any danger in the hunting process?" Old Foxtail said.

"It's dangerous. The acid from those slime monsters sprayed far away. I was always careful not to get sprayed a little bit. Fortunately, I took a lot of ideas to take down those slime monsters. By the way, President Foxtail, I listen to Zhan Mula mentioned that our chamber of commerce needs to repair the roof in winter to deal with the water leakage problem in the past few years. Jamura said that we need a lot of slime monster envelopes to waterproof, do you think the slime monsters I hunted will work?" Zhao Ji said to President Huwei cautiously.

"That's the case, but the chamber of commerce has been preparing for the repair of the roof for a year, and many things have already been prepared." Said here, the old fox tail winked at Kiel.

Zhao Ji's face immediately turned pale, and he said anxiously: "Really? Then what should I do? The slime monsters have already been handed over to the craftsmen of Punica. What should I do with so many slime monster envelopes?" Do it." After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji covered his purse again with distress, feeling that not only might he not be able to make a fortune, but even the money that was hot today would have to be paid to the craftsmen of Punica as slime Blame the processing fee of the envelope.

Seeing how Keir felt sorry for the money, the old foxtail laughed and stopped teasing him: "Hahahaha, I'm just kidding you. The waterproof envelope is still a lot worse. We don't like this stuff in Kendall County. Produced, the chamber of commerce has to buy it in a big city like the capital of the province. It depends on the face of others, talk about feelings, and use friendship, so that they can share some with our chamber of commerce. They don’t have enough coating, after all, except Waterproofing has no other function, and the output is small. There are so many tall buildings in big cities, and this coating is necessary. So, your batch of slime monster coatings has been accepted by the Chamber of Commerce, but the price depends on it. The quality of those envelopes of yours."

Hearing this, Zhao Jicai felt relieved, the president of the fox tail was just like what the people in the chamber of commerce said, he was always joking, which made him startled.

Zhao Ji patted his chest to ensure the quality of the slime monsters he hunted. Punika craftsmen and their leather shops are also very skilled and can make useful envelopes.

The old fox tail patted Zhao Ji on the shoulder and asked the two of them to go to the leather shop tomorrow morning to have a look. If there is no problem, he will buy this batch of slime monster envelopes. The purchase price is based on the quality of the envelopes that will be seen tomorrow. .

Zhao Ji nodded yes. The old foxtail invited Keel to come to his house for breakfast tomorrow morning, and he asked the old woman to cook some delicious food for him to celebrate his hunting.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji originally wanted to agree directly, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that he almost told the old man to cheat him. Who in the Chamber of Commerce does not know that he likes to trick the guys into eating their own meals at home. Everyone who has eaten said that they are in pain, hard to swallow, and have a bad appetite.

The main reason is that Zhao Ji once heard Jamura complain to him.

The wife of the old President Foxtail is a Daurus from the Eastern Province of the Empire, which is close to the desert.

The Daurus people have very different eating habits. They like to dry animal meat. They also believe that eating raw animal offal can better absorb the biological power of animals, so they use it to entertain visiting guests.

Jamura has eaten the fresh eyeballs and brains of various animals more than once at the old president Foxtail's house, and each time it made him miserable, but the old president Foxtail still said with a smile that he would improve Jamla's eyesight and brains. wisdom. All these things are used to entertain guests, and the old fox tail doesn't need to be eaten by himself.

After reacting, Zhao Ji immediately shook his head, and ran away without daring to say no. While running, he explained to Chairman Foxtail that he would meet at the chamber of commerce tomorrow morning.

This trick was also taught by Jamura, just run away.

Seeing this, the old fox tail smiled and continued to eat every meal that was hard-won for him slowly.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

That night, Zhao Ji tidied up his house well, and then counted the equipment he planned to buy when he had money.

A set of leather armor consists of ten complete sets of helmet, torso, shoulder armor, elbow pads, arm armor, gloves, skirt armor, knee pads, leg pads, and leather boots.

According to Zhao Ji, the whole set of leather armor for town guards consists of five parts: helmet, torso, arm armor, leggings, and leather boots. Although iron spikes and armor plates have been added to many places to increase protection, many parts of the body are still missing. Fully protected.

Of course, the guards are dispatched in groups and can take care of each other, so there is no need for more complete protection, and there may be factors in which the lords save money.

Zhao Ji used charcoal to draw the leather armor parts he needed on rough straw paper one by one. He only drew a rough outline, and the real leather armor should be decided by the craftsman who made the leather armor. Because he is alone, Zhao Ji's own protection must be put first, although it is said that some priests in the temple can use magic to restore body damage. But Zhao Ji didn't want to try it at all. After all, the situation that can cause physical injury can also cause death.

He has only come to this different world not long ago, and he is reluctant to take him with him early.

In terms of weapons, he plans to buy a steel sword. An ordinary one-handed sword will do. Coupled with his shield, it will be enough for offense and defense, as long as he trains well afterwards. To be honest, Zhao Ji really didn't like the skills of the town guards, because they couldn't even deal with the slime monsters outside the city, Zhao Ji really made them look high, but the guards were just better equipped.

He thinks it is necessary to have long weapons. After all, when fighting monsters, it is really a big advantage to have longer weapons. Zhao Ji has already confirmed that his experience in this area is effective, so he has to keep it. He already had a long wooden stick, and he only needed to add a spear head to make it a long wooden gun. He had to add a hook behind the gun head so that he could hook monsters.

In terms of long-range weapons, he has never practiced bows and arrows. He heard that at least a long time of practice is needed to become skilled. So, he can only try the crossbow. He has never seen anyone using crossbows in the local area. I can only ask tomorrow.

Fortunately, because it is located in the border area of ​​the border kingdom, at least it is not allowed to purchase weapons and armors personally. Perhaps the local lords also encourage the people to actively arm themselves.
