Chapter 249 Windfall
Suren at the Tannery has reopened the shop's doors.
The arrival of winter has made the business gradually deserted, but Su Lun is still open. After all, receiving some leather armor repair business is better than no harvest. What's more... After the death of the Viscount Telanka, the current Kieg Town is in a state of crisis. In the state where no one is urging taxes, compared with the high taxes in the past, he is naturally willing to take advantage of this time to earn more money.
Of course, Su Lun was more concerned about Rody's whereabouts.
It has been three days since Rody entered the leather shop to fight, but Su Lun still couldn't calm down...
When he went to the tavern to buy wine two days ago, he naturally heard the legendary "Sharp Archer" discussed by everyone - Su Lun was not stupid, and he was almost sure that this guy was Rody
Although the "sharp archer" that people call is powerful and far-fetched, but with just a few words, Su Lun can combine everything he has witnessed to deduce what Rody has done...
Leading away hundreds of infantry alone, being trapped in the enemy line but actively creating opportunities for encirclement and annihilation, breaking through and successfully counter-killing the enemy army several times, such things used to be only sung by bards, but now... it is real, facts for all to see
Sitting in the shop, Su Lun could not help but look at the window next to him—the imprint on the wooden frame that Rody pierced with an arrow was very clear, and the dense sound of string control seemed to still echo in his ears.
"Did you kill Earl Owen..."
The enemy many years ago was solved in this way, and now Su Lun still has a feeling of unreality—that is the real earl, if he said he was hacked to death, he was hacked to death?
"Crunch—"
The wooden door was pushed open, and a mercenary with a fleshy face walked in with his feet full of mud, and he opened his voice and shouted, "Where's the dwarf? There's business here!"
Su Lun is right behind the counter. Even though he is not tall, the mercenary can definitely see it, so this shout is obviously ironic. The cobbler frowned, and finally replied with a stiff tone. :"I'm here."
"kuang"
A stack of leather armor was thrown in front of Su Lun, "Sixteen pieces of leather armor, repair the ones that need to be repaired, and deliver them within a week."
This mercenary didn't give Su Lun any face at all, and his tone seemed to order his servants, but Su Lun could only grit his teeth and endure it - because this guy was a member of the "Wolverine Mercenary Group".
The reality is like this, since there are not enough hole cards to fight against, the only way to live with peace of mind when facing such a tyrannical guy is to swallow his anger.
Although the "Wolverine Mercenary Corps" is not so arrogant as to wantonly kill people, Su Lun understands that the only end of provoking the other party is the closure of his own shop, want to resist? Apart from scolding a few words to enjoy myself, I guess I can't even beat this guy in front of me.
"Old rules, if it is repaired, there is a deposit of three silver coins."
Su Lun tried his best to restrain his anger and said in a low voice.
"Short, are you stupid?"
The mercenary pointed to the emblem of the "Wolverine Mercenary Group" on his chest, "Look what this is? Are you negotiating terms with me?"
"Three silver coins."
Su Lun's stubbornness also came up, and he stared at the guy in front of him, "It used to be like this."
"It used to be before, but now no one collects taxes in Kieg Town, we just collect it, whoever collects it? I don't understand this rule, and your store is almost closed."
As the other party spoke, he reached out and knocked on the counter, and threw a handful of copper coins, "Master, head, take care of your business, don't be shameless."
The copper coins that fell on the counter made Su Lun's face turn red. Only two of these extremely poor-quality copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin. His hand only has b copper coins, which means that the price of one silver coin is not even worth it.
The one silver coin that Su Lun asked for was just a deposit, and it usually costs about 9 silver coins to repair all of them... So the b copper coins are just begging for food at the moment.
This kind of behavior is really deceiving, Su Lun's lips trembled angrily, he was about to scold the other party, but the door was pushed open again and interrupted his words - he turned his head, but what he wanted to say stopped abruptly...
Rody, wearing a hood, walked into the store and greeted Su Lun calmly: "Meet you again.
His eyes stayed on the mercenary next to him for a moment, and then he said: "You go ahead and don't worry about me.
After speaking, he started to stroll alone, looking extremely leisurely.
This feeling is exactly the same as when he shot an arrow out of the window a few days ago. He just stood there flatly, and Su Lun felt a forceful aura—not only him, but even the "Wolverine Mercenary Group" The mercenaries were aware of this... This guy didn't know Rody's identity. He seemed to want to say something, but he stopped, and finally turned his finger on Su Lun again: "That's all, you can figure it out yourself."
"I said, three silver coins."
Su Lun had planned to compromise at first, but when he saw Rody standing beside him, he suddenly felt a surge of courage in his heart. He pushed those copper coins back by mistake, making the mercenary stop abruptly. down.
"Short...can you tell me again?"
Before Su Lun could speak, the mercenary grabbed the copper coin and threw it at him, "You don't want to open this store, do you?"
Su Lun leaned back, and the copper coin hit his body, which hurt a little, but seeing the other party's anger and embarrassment, he felt an inexplicable pleasure.
Earl Owen's death, I really want to make my courage... bigger.
Luo Di didn't intend to be nosy at first, but when he turned around, he found that he had to take precautions—because the other party directly drew his sword and slashed at Su Lun.
This gave Rody a headache... Su Lun couldn't die, and this "special" effect was much greater than that of ordinary grocers. So he immediately drew his saber, and flicked the mercenary's short sword away easily, then looked at the mercenary in front of him and said, "Isn't this a little too much for you?"
"Who are you? Do you know who I am?"
The dagger was broken by Lao Gao, the mercenary yelled loudly, but his eyes showed a bit of fear. He originally wanted to cut a mark on the counter and threaten Su Lun, but Luo Di's casual blocking made him The tiger's mouth was in pain, and as a mercenary, he immediately became alert.
Although his mouth is not forgiving, but he already has the meaning of shrinking back in his heart.
"have no idea."
Roddy shrugged, "But if you want to kill people, I don't agree."
"Okay, just wait"
Just like street gangsters who say harsh words after a fight, this mercenary knew that he was no match, so he chose to retreat wisely, but when he turned his eyes to Su Lun, he pointed out: "Keep driving if you have the ability.
Su Lun spat and watched the guy pick up the leather armor and leave, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.
The other party stomped his leather boots and walked out as if deliberately protesting, but before he went out, a figure walking in made him pause - Nata in a leather coat walked into the shop in silence, she was wearing a thick A fur cloak, a hood that covers the wood elves' unique pointed ears, and a scarf around the mouth. Although half of the pretty face is covered, any human with normal vision can see how devastating Nata's face is to the country and the people...
The mercenary who was about to go out immediately stopped in place, staring straight at Nata with his eyes, but the wood elf ignored him at all, walked to Rody and whispered something, and immediately Then he stood silently by the side, completely acting like a follower.
This scene made the mercenary swallow his saliva, his heart moved, he looked up at Roddy, and then left the leather shop with a sneer.
Rody, who noticed all this, didn't react, because he was not interested in paying attention to such an insignificant role.
Turning his gaze to Su Lun, he asked curiously, "Where did that man come from?"
"The wolverine mercenaries, after Tranka's death, went too far, saying that they wanted to collect taxes for the nobles... as if they were lords."
Su Lun didn't know the specific identity of Rody, he just vaguely knew that Rody had some relationship with the "Baron Sodlore" who was in the limelight, but the two really didn't exchange a few words, so his current situation Complaining is also unintentional.
Luo Di felt a little interesting, looked out the door thoughtfully, and then asked: "You didn't need to continue to provoke him just now, did you? Opening the door for business, isn't it inappropriate to do so?"
"Business is business, not being a pig or dog for others. If they continue like this, at worst, I won't do it." Su Lun thought of the guy's face just now, and said bitterly: "After so many years of swallowing, if this continues, I'm afraid others will only see me as a turtle."
While talking, Su Lun took out Roddy's armor pieces, placed them on the counter and asked, "Here are the things. There is something I want to ask—Earl Owen...you killed him?"
"Yes." Rody nodded, "He is the lackey of the necromancer, and he has been beheaded by Baron Soderol on the battlefield."
After hearing this, Su Lun stretched out his hand and took out another package without saying a word, and pushed it in front of the landing: "I have collected some rare leather materials these years, but now I think it is useless, you can take it together."
Seeing Roddy's astonished expression, he said bluntly: "I have a grudge against Owen, and now the big grudge has been avenged, nothing else, these materials should be able to help you make good equipment."
It was only then that Rody understood why he did this. He flipped through the [task bar], and saw that there was indeed a task related to Su Lun written with the word "Complete", so he took the package with peace of mind, and opened it casually. Look, a piece of blue words instantly dazzled his eyes—these things are all "excellent grade" materials, and they have all been processed by Su Lun...
That is to say, if you use these things to make some leather armor casually, you can make top-quality equipment that improves the effect of skills.
And it's not far behind those lizard skins
This was definitely something that Roddy didn't expect. He was stunned for a while, but raised his head and asked, "Have you thought about establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with me?"
He reached out his hand and took out the elven fruit wine he had prepared earlier, "There are better rewards, more supplies, and... more fine wine."
"Oh? Is it under the management of Baron Soderol?"
Su Lun was actually a little confused at this moment. He was not very interested in making leather goods, but only as a skill to support his family. Hearing what Rody said, he was a little indifferent—after all, as a citizen of the territory, The destiny they have is to struggle to survive under the protection of each lord.
This is something that all civilians cannot avoid.
But he did not expect that Rody gave an unexpected answer: "No, if you are willing to cooperate, then I will take care of it."
"And... what I'm going to do may be completely different from what you imagined."
