318. The Weapons Shop
Leaving the hut of the Magic Teleportation Array.
Sean thought about it, and walked towards the blacksmith next to him, as the recorder said.
Sean's first weapon was Bones, a longsword with the ability to shapeshift.
In fact, Sean still can't figure out what kind of weapon it is. He had tried that this weapon could change its shape at will, as long as it was the type of weapon that Sean could imagine, it could be changed, even if it was a Qimen weapon, but the number of attributes changed greatly.
Originally, Sean was thinking that if he was free one day, he would complete the task of this dead bone weapon. But unfortunately, for some reason, he melted the weapon and got it out again.
The Black King.
In reality, the Black King is only a half-finished product.
Sean has always had the idea of trying to completely forge the Black King, but even if he swept all the shops of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Void Principality because of Anno's affairs, he didn't get many high-quality materials, so Sean never did it. But now, even if Sean wants to do it, there is no way, because he has a complete magic soul in his hand, and a main heart at the level of the Seven Demon Kings, these materials need the fire of the center of the earth to be forged.
Originally, after the Black King killed a Dread Knight in the secret realm of Lake, he absorbed the essence of his soul, so a magical soul was born among the Black Monarch.
But this magic soul is still very weak, and the Black King is only half-finished. At least until the Black King becomes a true finish, that magical soul can grow. If you're lucky. Maybe in a few years, the Black King could become an artifact, but if you're not lucky. It may take several generations of work to make the Black King an artifact weapon.
However, after Beth gave a full magical soul, it became much easier.
As long as Sean can create the Black King and successfully integrate it into the magical soul, then the Black King will inevitably be reborn into an artifact.
There is a fundamental difference between these two concepts.
Of course, in terms of growth, the first one is actually better.
Because the Black King will grow with that magical soul, eventually the two will become incompatible. It also gains some changes depending on the user's martial arts. All in all, if the magical soul in the Black Monarch is slowly grown, then when the Black Monarch becomes an artifact in the future, it will become more suitable for Sean's ability. And if it is directly stuffed with a complete magical soul, then although the Black King will also become very powerful - after all, it is an artifact equipment, but this will become the need for Sean to adapt and master the Black King again.
Just let Sean choose, now he will definitely choose the second option.
Because he doesn't have that much time.
The storage of an artifact equipment will provide a great boost to Sean.
Sean walked into the weapons shop that the recorder was referring to.
The name is quite ordinary: Old Quian's blacksmith's shop.
The wooden sign of the blacksmith shop looks a little worn, and the lacquer on it has fallen off a lot. It's not very realistic.
However, Sean suddenly admired the owner of this shop.
Because since the establishment of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, shops like ordinary blacksmith shops and apothecaries have basically been unable to survive. Because it is impossible for such a shop to collect herbs and dig ores on its own, and if it is acquired, it will not be able to swallow a large transaction. You can only collect some scattered resources, so the purchase price is naturally slightly higher than those large transactions, plus the constraints of small stores. Not only does it take a long time to make the products they make, but they can't sell them cheaper.
But the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance is different.
Today, their industry has quickly spread throughout the Wonder Continent. It's almost pervasive. Not only do they have a very complete channel for purchasing and distributing goods, but they also have a self-sufficient integration policy within the Chamber of Commerce Alliance: the Chamber of Commerce specializing in the forging business trades large quantities of ore from other Chambers of Commerce responsible for ore trading. Then the assembly line method is used to make the ore into standard equipment and then sell it to other chambers of commerce that deal in equipment trading, and these chambers of commerce only need to purchase at a lower price to be able to control the price of the entire market.
Large quantity and low price, this is the advantage of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
So those small handicraft shops have long been squeezed into no room for survival.
Sean walked into the blacksmith's shop.
It is said to be a blacksmith shop, but in fact it is a home workshop-style shop.
After entering from the main entrance, there is a lobby that is not different from a regular weapon shop, and the space here is quite spacious, arranged in the shape of a field, surrounded by high-stilted glass display counters. These counters are filled with a number of high-quality weapons, from daggers and short swords to longswords, knights' swords, meteor hammers, spears, halberds, and almost all of them, but Sean also noticed that many of the display stands are empty.
In addition to weapons and the like, there are also several armor stands in this weapon shop, which are basically light armor and leather armor, and the quality is not particularly good, but it is just excellent. However, unlike the usual weapon shops seen by Sean, these leather armor and light armor are complete sets - including armor pieces that can be replaced and repaired, matching weapons, bags, and so on.
Suit-level equipment, which made Sean a little curious, because he hadn't seen it in the game before. According to the definition of equipment in the game, although the quality of these equipment is only excellent, it will be comparable to high-quality after a complete set of equipment.
Sean quickly glanced at it and found that as far as the eye could see, as long as it could be taken out and displayed, none of it was below high quality.
This blacksmith shop is not simple.
Sean said in his heart.
There are not a few people in the weapon shop, and many people are watching these displays in the weapon shop. These people are mercenaries or adventurers, and most of them just look at it, and many of them shake their heads and walk away after reading them. There are very few people who are really willing to pay for it.
Sean glanced at a movable door near the corner, where there was the sound of hammers pounding on anvils and the whirring of bellows. Behind this weapon shop is the real blacksmith shop, a place dedicated to forging weapons. And the staircase leading to the second floor, Sean did not see in this weapon shop, presumably in the courtyard at the back, which should be the real tourist stop.
With just one glance, Sean had a more accurate judgment of the environment of the entire store.
This shop is supposed to be inherited from the family, and I am afraid that it has a history of more than several decades, which is why the scale of the shop pรน is so large, and there is no need to worry about the rent. And to be able to forge so much high-quality equipment, as long as you can sell two pieces a month, then usually the month's sales will not be a problem. If you can sell more than three items, you may be able to improve your life slightly in the next month.
Sean has already swept the price of those high-quality weapons, a high-quality dagger sells for thirty gold coins, and a high-quality halberd sells for one hundred and fifty gold coins, this price cannot be said to be cheap, but it is not particularly outrageously expensive. However, considering the meticulous workmanship and the selection of materials, Sean still thinks that these weapons are indeed worthy of the price - which is why the mercenaries and adventurers shook their heads helplessly.
The Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance occupies the market for low-end equipment, that is to say, equipment of ordinary quality.
Generally speaking, whiteboard weapons forged by small artisanal blacksmiths sell for a minimum of five silver coins. Depending on the material, some common weapons may even sell for three or five gold coins.
However, after the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance has an assembly line forging operation, this kind of building is much easier, and the purchase of ore is relatively cheap, so those tabula rasa weapons produced by the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance usually only need two silver coins to buy a long sword. And if it is a war halberd or a heavy axe, which requires a lot of materials, it is only one gold coin and five silver coins at most.
Compared to those small handicraft shops, it is half cheaper.
This is also the reason why the life of those small shops is completely squeezed.
However, if the forged equipment rises to a high-quality grade, then there is not much room for saving, so the price is actually not much different from this weapon shop - of course, it must be cheaper. If you look like a dagger, it may only be about twenty gold coins, which is ten gold coins cheaper than this store, and you must know that this is the difference of 100 silver coins.
It's just that from Sean's point of view, if it is also a dagger, this thirty gold coins are definitely more valuable than those twenty.
Sean suddenly became interested in who the owner of the blacksmith was.
To be able to forge so many high-quality weapons, the craft is not simple.
"Sean?"
Suddenly, a soft cry rang out behind Sean.
The voice sounded quite unfamiliar, but the tone and attitude seemed to be familiar like an old friend, which made Sean stunned for a moment.
Then he turned his head to look at a young man behind him.
It was a naked young man wearing only a pair of coarse cloth trousers, but his physique was very muscular, and he had a large piece of cowhide tied around his waist. This classic outfit is obviously a blacksmith, but considering that the other party is quite young, it should be a blacksmith apprentice. At most, when it's not particularly busy, take care of the front desk of this weapon shop.
But the question is, Sean doesn't know this person, why would the other person know his name?
"You are?" (To be continued......)
