Chapter 176 - 176 Buying Armor
176 Buying Armor
When they arrived, there was no need for the ticket seller to shout. The Dwarves in the carriage became more talkative.
“Kailund District is just ahead. We’re almost there.”
“I heard that a few days ago, Master Golden Furnace forged an Epic-grade armor, the Twin Wolf Moon Chasing Set.”
“What’s the big deal about defensive equipment? Master Copperhead forged a King’s Warhammer based on Excalibur. The Dwarf King personally came to take a look and said that its value is even higher than Excalibur.”
!!
The Dwarf’s voice was not soft. Fang Ping could feel a strong sense of pride in their words.
These high-level equipment were all made by their Dwarf Master. They were very proud when facing foreign Humans.
Pride from a race.
The big metal frame car came to a stop with a long screech of brakes. The Dwarves on board looked to their left in unison.
“We’re at the Kailund District. It’s just ahead.”
The bright sun was directly above their heads. The Kailund District was under the sun, in the center of the circular Holy City of Kailund.
It felt different from last night. The circles of corridors, the hanging cages connected up and down, no longer looked like a wreath. They looked more like a crown. The sun above his head was the brightest gem on the crown.
It was worn on the head of the Kailund District.
Unlike other districts, there was a special fence in Kailund District. There was a gate in the middle, and people came and went.
Beside the door was a huge Dwarf statue. It was completely silver, had a handsome appearance, and a strong figure. It held a hammer in its hand and looked majestic.
Walking closer, he stood under the tall statue and looked up. The statues were more than five meters tall. Every one of them was very realistic. The creases on their clothes, the patterns on the hammer, and every strand of hair and beard were clear.
This was a metal statue, not a stone statue. To have such precision was very impressive.
If he had a mobile phone, Fang Ping even wanted to take a photo beside him like a tourist.
There were many Dwarves coming and going as they walked towards the Kailund District. There were buildings lined up on the streets with the mark of a hammer hanging on them. They were all blacksmith shops.
The sound of hammering reverberated through the entire street. The dense hammering sound had already begun, even in the early morning.
“This place seems to specialize in selling bows and arrows. Let’s go take a look.”
Fang Ping vaguely heard Edwin’s voice and hurriedly shouted, “You guys go ahead! Let’s take a walk further ahead!”
On this street, words could only be heard by shouting. When Fang Ping heard that Edwin was going to buy a bow and arrow, he could not wait to leave. He gestured to the two of them: “Let’s go forward.”
Edwin nodded and led Stacy inside.
Fang Ping also leaned close to Qing Niao’s ear. “Qing Niao, take a look. Which store has more armor? Let’s go take a look.”
“You go take a look. I’ll follow you.”
Fang Ping looked at the roadside and pointed. “That one, then?”
Qing Niao nodded.
Walking into the blacksmith shop, there were large boxes by the door. They were stacked high with ores.
On the workbench at the side, Dwarves were forging iron. Behind the shop was an open-air courtyard with a stove placed in the courtyard. Dwarves were busy transporting the ores over and taking out the red-hot iron.
This was different from the Human blacksmith shop that Fang Ping had seen. The furnace was already hot, yet he still needed to bask in the sun?
He didn’t understand.
The shelves at the side were packed with weapons and armor. Fang Ping walked over. The shelves looked messy, but in fact, every piece was a set. They were stacked together and labeled with the name of the set.
As for the attributes, level, characteristics, and price of the set, it was very comprehensive. He only needed to find the armor he needed according to the label.
These were all Fang Ping’s guesses. Fang Ping could not understand a single word on the label.
“Is anyone there? We want to buy armor!”
Sizzle!
A Dwarf dipped the iron piece in his hand into the water and steam rose. He wiped the sweat on his head and walked over. “What do you want?”
Fang Ping shouted at him at the top of his voice, “Ruby Set, a Ruby set that only increases attack power. Do you have it?”
“Yes!” He glanced up and down and pointed to a corner. “The upper set is Excellent-grade, and the lower two sets are Normal-grade. Neither of them uses Soul Stones.”
Fang Ping nudged Qing Niao. “Try the Excellent-grade one!”
Qing Niao shook his head violently and pointed down.
“Excellent-grade, go and try!”
Qing Niao gave in eventually. He walked over and took off the Excellent-grade ruby set to try it on.
Fang Ping could clearly see that although the size was just right, the bottom was clearly shorter.
“Do you want it? We can alter it!”
“Okay, how much?”
“Fifty silver coins!” He stretched out five short fat fingers and added, “No bargaining!”
Fang Ping, who had just earned a sum of money from the Grass Cypress, nodded. He could afford it.
There was also the 30 silver coins that James had paid him.
After spending 50, he still had more than 20 silver coins left. It was enough to spend for the time being.
Fang Ping was counting money. Qing Niao walked over quickly and grabbed Fang Ping’s hand. He shook his head and pointed at the two sets of Normal-grade below.
Fang Ping shook his head too. He shook him off and continued counting the money.
Generally speaking, Excellent-grade weapons and equipment were twice as expensive as Normal-grade weapons and equipment. In other words, a set of Normal-grade Ruby Set Equipment only cost 25 Silver Coins. In Elf City, this set sold for 30 Silver Coins.
Five silver coins meant 15,000 copper coins. That was a lot of money.
“Take it off! Let him alter it!”
Fang Ping shouted at Qing Niao. Qing Niao’s lips moved slightly, but there was no sound. Judging from the shape of his mouth, he was probably thanking him.
These sets usually had some work buckles, leaving room for adjustment. The Dwarf took Fang Ping’s silver coins and counted them. Then, he took Qing Niao’s gear, carried a small hammer, and went to the counter at the side to knock on it.
He patted Qing Niao’s shoulder. “It’s alright!”
Then, he walked around the blacksmith shop.
Fang Ping was very satisfied with the Frost Equipment Set he was wearing. He had no intention of changing his armor. However, Fang Ping also saw an ore that seemed to be used to forge the Frost Equipment Set. A Dwarf was knocking a piece of silver-white metal into thin pieces. Looking at the color, it was indeed similar to the Frost Equipment Set he was wearing.
“Done!”
Qing Niao took it. The length was still a little short, but it did not affect the protection provided.
It didn’t take long for Qing Niao to change after entering the blacksmith shop. He was wearing a full set of bright red ruby armor, especially the big red cloak behind him. He looked especially impressive.
One still had to rely on clothes to make a good impression.
“Not bad!”
“Fang Ping! Thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
Fang Ping had actually wanted to know if the Dwarves had any different defensive equipment. However, communication was so difficult, so he did not understand. Just buying the Ruby set will do.
He quickly walked out of the blacksmith shop. It was so noisy.
“Fang Ping, look at that mark.”
Following the direction of Qing Niao’s finger, he saw a different mark among the many iron hammers. It was two crossed iron hammers. It was a little similar to the two crossed longsword marks in the arena of the Silver Heron team.
“Should we go take a look? It would be great if it’s an advanced arena.”
There were quite a number of Dwarves walking in. Fang Ping even saw Human figures.
There were two armed Dwarf Warriors guarding the door, and someone was collecting money at the side.
After coming here and staying away from the blacksmiths, the noise level was much lower and he could speak normally.
