The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 485 Market Trading
There are not only honest and reliable bartenders in the tavern, but also dark-minded rats. When William left with the bag of money, many guys' eyes were already wandering on him, most of them were fierce and greedy.

However, there are very few people who really put their ideas into action. Only a halfling hiding in a corner chased after William's tail. After all, the defenders of order in Waterdeep City are not vegetarians, unless there are outsiders blindly Be stupid, the local dark forces rarely dare to commit crimes blatantly.

William didn't care about those unfriendly gazes, and he didn't have the heart to engage in tricks such as fishing, law enforcement, and anti-violence on the family's one-acre land. William really wanted to purchase more supplies, because he already had a certain premonition .

Walking on the streets of Waterdeep City, surrounded by pedestrians, most of them are coolies and sailors, carrying goods collected from all over the city to Waterdeep City on their shoulders, as well as those sent from Waterdeep City to The goods from all over the country were followed by indispensable cargo owners and merchants, who either looked anxious or had a bad attitude and yelled at the crude laborers.There are also densely packed shops on the street, some selling fish, some selling clothing and fur, some selling tobacco, some selling swords and weapons, some selling non-staple food and drinks, and there are also grocery stores that sell a little bit of odds and ends.

William first went to a shop selling ready-made clothing and furs, which was run by a few half-elves.Ready-made clothes are very expensive, and even the cheapest linen singlet costs two gold reals.

According to the conversion of the local currency unit, one gold liel is equal to twelve silver healys, one silver healy is equal to 21 copper pehrings, and a normal coolie can earn five to seven silver healys for a day of hard work. Silver Healey could buy at most three pounds of hard bread (the daily minimum subsistence standard for a coolie).

Of course, William would not buy those cheap and low-quality ready-made clothes. What he fell in love with was the soft, breathable, beautiful and decent boutique made of delicate silk velvet fabrics. However, after asking the price, William was a little embarrassed, because he never The money he borrowed from the bartender was only enough to buy a green elf cloak, and he wanted to equip each of his family members with such a good thing that was warm in winter and cool in summer and could adapt to body size.

The green elf cloak is a garment made of green elf silk flannelette from the highest forest. This kind of silk flannel is very expensive, and the price of each ping is nearly five hundred gold liels. A unit of measurement for silk flannelette, because this kind of fabric is piece by piece, it looks natural (it is estimated to be related to the processing technology), one piece by ping, and the amount of each piece is just enough to be processed into a cloak or a magic blanket.

In fact, human tailors can only make cloaks and magic carpets from elf silk, and only moon elves know how to make delicate silk clothes from them.Of course, some knowledgeable spellcasters among humans may know how to decipher the secrets of the moon elves, but they are too lazy to get such thankless things. Just get some magic potions and scrolls, and you can’t earn much more than this thing , and save time and effort.

This is like if you use your brain to study technology and decipher how to make gold into a gold bracelet, you can increase the value of a single gram of gold by 50.00%.And if you use your own ability, just pull out a grass on the side of the road and rub it together, it will be a panacea that is priced like gold.

As a normal person, which one would you choose as your way to get rich, brains or hands?

Of course, the cash is not enough, and the equipment comes together.

This clothing store called Green Fairy's Bay also buys more valuable furs and some high-end clothing.But the trophies that William collected in Calimport were all high-quality boutiques. Among other things, just a few camouflage robes that he casually packed up from the elf Elisan and the Hanun family Clothes, its value is by no means inferior to that of the Green Elf's cloak, and the market price is even several times higher.

For example, Elisan's robes are made of a very special cashmere cloth produced by demon sheep. This kind of cloth has no other function, except for its excellent isolation and filtration effect on various gaseous toxins and odors. .When they are made into clothes and put on, chanting the set secret words will automatically form an invisible air filter.

There are also a few pieces of clothing often worn by Air Elementals. The material is cloud yarn from the Air Elemental Plane. When people wear them, whether they are walking, sitting, or lying down, they will feel as if they are supported by a gust of wind. Falling from a high place won't hurt you easily (of course, you can't help it if you have to hit the ground head first).

At the beginning, William didn't pay attention to those clothes that looked a little bit unique, but when the proprietress of the Green Fairy Bay explained the value of these things to him, he really felt distressed. Nima, there were everywhere at the time It was all this kind of robes, he ignored them for a moment, and even set a fire to burn them to ashes. Thinking about it, there is a heartache feeling that tens of billions have been lost.

At this time, William really realized what the city of giant spirits represented.But even though his heart was so painful that he wanted to vomit blood, he actually didn't regret his choice.

There are pots and pans, how can someone's life be important!

The proprietress of the tailor was very interested in the second-hand goods in William's hands, but the boy was not a vegetarian either. Not only did he choose several high-quality clothes for himself and his family, but he also asked the half-elf tailors to sew ten clothes for him on the spot. A few pairs of masks are made of the cashmere cloth robes of little giants.

William's behavior of destroying the finished product made those half-elf tailors tremble while sewing.

However, after William gave the half-elf tailors the black robes from the robbers from the Karin Desert, the wrinkled face of the tailor shop proprietress finally turned into a big morning glory. It is very likely that the boy will be dragged to a corner to be executed on the spot.

Not only did William get enough clothes, but even the shopkeeper gave away some fish skin jackets with hoods, which are said to be the most suitable for rainy days.

After coming out of the ready-to-wear fur shop, William went to the grocery store and bought several new adventure tents, as well as some utensils and materials commonly used by adventurers in the wild.

Then there are wines, vats of wine and ale, which are the best drinks for adventurers in the wild, provided you can carry them without burden.

The last thing was food, but at this time William was running out of money, so he had to go to a blacksmith shop specializing in swords and weapons, and bought a not-so-complete Molten Armor at a cheap price.

No way, the blacksmith's funds are also very limited, and William has hundreds of sets of Molten Armor from the Flame World, all of which he collected from the destroyed rebels.
