Mercenaries and Adventurers

The money delivery for custom-made armor is different from the purchase of weapons. The forged weapons are placed in the shop for anyone to choose. However, there is no way to choose custom-made armor, and a deposit must be paid for custom-made armor.

The apprentice's name was Ganna. Ganna gave Zhao Ji's paper with the armor plan to his master, and asked his master to roughly judge how much material and money the whole set of armor would need. Since it is a leather armor, the main price is the price of the leather and the price of processing. But because Ganna is just an apprentice, he has no reputation or enough craftsmanship at all. On the contrary, Zhao Ji's armor customization gave Gan Na a great opportunity.

Although the Taolian craftsman looks very proud, he is still very fair in his work. He told Zhao Ji and Ganna that because it was the first time Ganna had the opportunity to make a complete set of armor instead of repairing guard armor all day long, according to the rules of the craftsmen, no processing fee will be charged for the custom-made leather armor this time. It's a fee, but Zhao Ji's armor material fee still has to be paid.

According to Tao Liante's craftsman, he took a rough look at Zhao Ji's armor plan, and the materials he gave roughly include: a few large pieces of hard and thick cowhide, some long animal tendons, a long roll of fine hemp rope, at least one kilogram The left and right iron buckles, rivets and iron armor pieces.

The Taurient craftsman said that the most expensive of these things was cowhide, and the most troublesome was animal sinew. The former is because cattle are an important local labor force, and there is no extra cowhide except for cattle that die due to illness or accidents. Animal tendons are necessary for making various bows and crossbows, so they are given priority to bow workshops.

Fortunately, because it was the first time for local apprentices to make armor, other craftsmen who had materials would definitely provide them. As long as Zhao Ji gives a deposit, he can get things done. The craftsman of Tao Liante did the math, the whole set of leather armor did not include the processing fee, and the raw materials were only about five silver coins, so Zhao Ji only had to pay two silver coins for the deposit.

Afraid that the price would exceed his budget, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, put two silver coins on the table, and asked about the production time of the whole set of armor.

Craftsman Taurient looked at his apprentice Ganna, and with an uneasy face, he made a promise that he would deliver it before winter came. Afterwards, Zhao Ji and the armor apprentice Ganna went to the management office of the artisan district to handle the simple contract of armor customization, and Zhao Ji left here with the agreed items of the contract.

Before returning to the chamber of commerce, Zhao Ji came to the leather shop and told the Punika craftsman that he hadn't gone hunting slime monsters a few days ago because of the rainy weather, so seeing the sunny weather today, he was going to hunt slime monsters tonight them. Let the craftsmen prepare the wheelbarrow and the big sack in advance, and Zhao Ji will go to arrange the hunting preparations in the afternoon.

After getting the consent of the Punica craftsman, Zhao Ji secretly asked the Punica craftsman if he was ready to catch the slime monster.

The Punica craftsman said with some embarrassment: "The clay pots and wooden barrels are all ready, but there are still a few people in hand. You wait for two more days. Master Lian Xiude has already told the steward of the baron's mansion about it. He sent someone to help, and the steward sent a letter to inquire about the baron, and he will definitely agree to the relationship between Master Elian Xiude and the baron's family. So just wait for two more days."

Zhao Ji nodded. He did not expect that Master Lian Xiude had a good relationship with the local lord baron family. Of course, considering the age of Master Lian Shude, maybe the current baron also has to call Master Li An Shude his elder. The older you live, the wider your contacts will naturally be.

After bidding farewell to the Punica craftsmen, Zhao Ji returned to the chamber of commerce for lunch.

As soon as he entered the chamber of commerce, the old clerk of the chamber of commerce at the gate grabbed Zhao Ji and told him that a trainee shepherd from the God of Saturn had come to look for Kiel, and he was already waiting at President Foxtail.

Zhao Ji was a little puzzled, he had never been in contact with any figure of the God of Saturn, and he did not believe in any local religions or gods. I don't know why this apprentice shepherd of the god of agriculture asked him for.

After thanking the old man, Zhao Ji came to the second floor of the chamber of commerce,

Go to President Foxtail.

Because a lot of guys in the chamber of commerce had been discharged to participate in the big activities of the chamber of commerce a few days ago, it seemed that the second floor of the chamber of commerce was a bit empty. Usually, it was always full of the voices of the chamber of commerce's stewards and fellows, making it very lively.

After knocking on the door of President Foxtail's room, Zhao Ji announced his name. Inside came President Foxtail's answer, "Come in."

Pushing open the door and coming in, one could see a very young Saturn trainee shepherd sitting on a chair and looking at him. The apprentice shepherd of the god of agriculture is wearing a plain robe, with a simple pattern of young seedlings embroidered on the chest.

As far as Zhao Ji knew, the priests of the God of Saturn could tell what level the priests were from the patterns embroidered on their chests. The lowest-level trainee shepherd has a tender seedling that breaks the ground, the official shepherd above it is a thriving sapling, the trainee pastor above that is a flowering fruit tree, and the one above that is the local tree. The fruit trees of the highest priest priests are gone. What Zhao Ji is above is hard to tell, because the highest priest in Kendall City is the priest. Unlike other priests who can often be met in the fields and on the streets, the priest will only appear at the annual Harvest Festival to preside over the rituals for people who believe in the god of agriculture.

Strange to say, each religion here has its own harvest festival. Although they all celebrate the most important harvest, each religion only celebrates the harvest with its believers in its own territory. Zhao Ji found it funny when he heard this. These religions have divided human beings into categories according to various aspects. But overall it's pretty peaceful, but I don't know if it's still like this in other areas.

It was only later that Zhao Ji realized that it was because the kingdom was established for too short a time and the population size was limited, so the gods and their religion did not intervene too much. In other densely populated countries, the war between religions has always been life and death. Although in some places, due to the general religious regulations of the empire, people who believe in other religions cannot be massacred openly, the clergy of each religion are not protected by religious regulations. Zhao Ji will take on this kind of job of assassinating clergy in the future.

Seeing Zhao Ji coming in, the young trainee shepherd hurriedly stood up and said hello to Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji also said hello to him in return. Seeing that Zhao Ji was coming, the old president of Foxtail introduced the trainee herdsman to Zhao Ji, and patted Zhao Ji's arm, and made a small gesture to Zhao Ji, indicating to Zhao Ji that the trainee shepherd of the god of agriculture was looking for him. good thing.

Since it was a good thing, he felt relieved and heard what made the clergy of Saturn come to him.
