Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Heirloom

"Dagon, you go to Myris, we will give You've got something ready." Corona rubbed Dagon's cheeks with both hands, watching with satisfaction the protective effect the beard ring had on the beard. In the eyes of mother, Dagon finally changed from a "thin" little child to a beautiful young man.

"Tormund is lazy, he said that the first hunting axe will do for you, and at most you will get another sharpening stone - let's not talk about him." Corona cast a contemptuous look, then Said: "I've prepared a treasure for you, come, this is it!"

Dagon has long noticed that there is a metal bucket upside down on the table in the room, there must be something hidden under it, the bucket is a little bit cover one's ears whilst stealing a bell. Take the bucket, and beneath it is a dark cast-iron pan with a lid. It is less than thirty centimeters in diameter, the upper edge is slightly wider than the bottom edge, and the lifting lugs on both sides are connected by a handle that can be hooked. In addition to the handle, its lid has three short legs that stick out diagonally upwards, which can be used as a frying pan if reversed. The lid seals well, but leaves a vent hole on the side that can be blocked by a pick and can also be used as a spout for pouring liquids if necessary.

"This is an ancient pot, and there is also a pot called dwarf pot outside." Corona said: "This pot has been in our house for a long time. I first remember my great-grandmother using it. Later people There are too many, this pot is too small to be used anymore, and it has been kept in the corner to collect dust. I found it and asked a craftsman to remove rust and maintain it. It is equipped with a cooking spoon, you can open the pot and take a look.”

The belly of the cooking spoon is very round, it is very easy to use to scoop soup, and it is no problem to use it as half a bowl. The front of the spoon is flat, so it can also function as a shovel. A thick short rod can be screwed on the back of the spoon to increase its overall length so that it can be placed on the edge of the pot without slipping off. The other end of the short rod has a lid that can be unscrewed, and there is actually a small spoon inside, so that the size of the spoon is a rice bowl and tableware, which is too detailed!
"Look at the bottom of the pot - there needs to be a touch up, so I asked the craftsman to engrave the word Steelcast." Corona said with a smile: "Then engraved on the repaired part of the side of the pot lid. With Dagon, naked eyes are hard to see, and they are all touched with hands.”

Dagon turned over the pot to check, and then touched it carefully with his fingers, and sure enough he found his name. He was getting happier and liked the cast iron pan more and more.

"You can hunt by yourself, so you have a pot and you can eat it hot. The extra food can be stored in it, and the lid will not be shaken, and it will save packing and be easy to carry. mother I hope you take care of yourself and find a girl who can cook for you as soon as possible. In fact..."

"Don't mention the girls in the Huogu family, I don't think I will see them. I understand, I will pay attention to it. , I will..." Dagon used the tried-and-true old trick, hugged the mother hard, and said, "Thank you, I like this pot very much."

"Well, it's good if you like it, so don't hurry. Let go?"

"hehe." Dagon managed to fool his mother again, so he let go of mother, picked up the pot and turned it over and over. Indeed, there are traces of rust removal and repair on the pot, the surface has been re-maintained for anti-rust and anti-sticking, and mother has carefully re-raised the pot.

"In the past two days, take your time to find the lord and ask what you need to bring. The lords Antoine and Ganlauda will definitely give you what they have prepared when you ask, We also know what to do."

"The father gave the weapon to kill the enemy, and the mother gave the guy to eat. I don't think there is any need for Neil's family anymore."

"They're your parents too, even in name." Corona narrowed her eyes.

"Okay mother, don't be mad, I'm just nothing serious. I'll definitely go."

"You better go right now, be polite." Corona at Dagon He patted on the back and said, "I'll wait for you here, quickly go and quickly return."

Dagon was driven to meet Lord Neil and his wife, he showed no affection, but polite, Respect and obedience are fine. For this youngster who is about to go to the elf territory on behalf of the Neil family, Antoine and Glanarda are not optimistic about his future development from the bottom of their hearts, but just prepared him a light breastplate with a family emblem, a helmet and a pair of good boots .

The Jiangu people have a saying: Helmet protects life, breastplate protects soul, and good boots can take people out of danger. So these three-piece sets are not so precious or valuable, they are more just expressing blessings. Dagon brought the three back to his parents, and Tormund checked the helmet and breastplate, and said they were all good, not bad. It was the brown soft leather boots that protected the ankles that got his compliments.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's made of mud demon skin, and I recognize the pattern. I've encountered this kind of demon in the endless labyrinth beneath the city, and it's quite difficult to deal with. Tormund said: "It is huge, more than two meters tall, and its body is covered in wet mud. It is not afraid of fire and acid, and its weapon is not very effective when it is cut. It can move freely on land, mud, swamps and waters. Only the skin on the chest is a small weakness."

"Let me guess, you are the hero who pierced its chest and killed it?"

p>

Tormund shook his head, looked at Corona and said, "You guessed wrong. The Mud Demon wears a breastplate that covers his chest, just like Jiangu clansman is going to wear full body armor. I lanced through it. Its eyes, and then cut its neck to kill it. Unfortunately, there were still many enemies at that time, and I didn't have the opportunity to collect spills of war. The leather on the chest of the mud demon can be made into clothes and waterproof, and it is not afraid of making shoes. I got stuck in the mud."

Dagon's eyes shined and asked, "It's so powerful? Then if I encounter a mud pit, I can go straight into it?"

"Idiot, definitely not .You don't believe this exaggerated propaganda, don't believe any item has the ability to avoid danger. The shoes of the mud devil leather only reduce the possibility of you falling into the mud, or surfacing intact after you drown in the swamp, Waiting for the next user. The only people who can save people are people, and sometimes only yourself."

"Don't be so scary." Corona shook her head: "The elves of Myris will surely guarantee The safety of the elite Academy, Dagon will not be in danger there."

"I'm just telling the truth, not cursing." Tormund shook his head: "You two, go to the market and see Well, don't bother me here. By the way, take those two elemental stones you found and get yourself some clothes for some money."

After defeating the trumpet lizard, Dagon relies on Starhelm's The guide found two stones covered with a large number of nerves from the skull of the lizard, and brought them back to Tormund to see and identify them as element stones. It is possible that some creatures capable of using elemental power and exerting spell effects produce such stones, which have the function of storing and controlling elemental energy.

Elements in nature are unevenly distributed, and will be enriched in some specific topographical landforms, sometimes deposited, and become elemental spar, elemental carbon deposition, and elemental thundercloud. If it is in the body, it will be elemental stone, elemental osteoma, elemental blood essence.

Comparing the two elemental sediments, the value of the elemental stones in the organism is much lower, mainly because of the mixing. Natural deposits are generally related to terrain, and there is a corresponding relationship between terrain and elements, so it will be purer. It is rare for organisms to release a single element spell, and there are often multiple elements inside the stone, which makes its use inefficient.

After all, these elemental deposits are either used to assist cultivation, or to supplement energy for rune, iron stone, etc. Of course, pure and single elements are better to use. Based on his own experience, Tormund felt that each elemental stone could be sold for forty-fifty gold coin, and it could be exchanged for ordinary clothes and daily necessities.

The Steelcasts have nothing to sell at home other than elemental stones, and neither of them are craftsmen. Although Tormund knows everything, but he is physically disabled and weak, and he has not accumulated over the years. And mother said that his craft is farming, he can always beat more grain than others, and raise livestock can be stronger than others. Dagon recalled the food she used to eat, and then looked at her muscles. She really felt that her craft was very good.

The market will be open for four consecutive days, and the first day is sure to be very lively. Residents of Jiangu City have needs, and they also come up with their own handicrafts. The rune device is the most popular and the most valuable. At the three entrances of the market, there are special merchants who appraise the rune device, and there are also boxes full of gold coins.

"It's the gold coin of human beings. It's thin and small, and it's a little worthless." Corona glanced at it and took this opportunity to tell Dagon some knowledge about the outside world. "The elves have the longest lifespan, and everyone recognizes their gold coins. Our Jiangu gold coins are of the best quality, workmanship, and high value, but there are many counterfeit ones out there, you have to keep your eyes open. Humans and other The racial gold coins are uneven, the quality is not stable, and you have to be careful when you use them. I heard that halflings use a kind of paper money - paper money? I never dared to use that kind of money."

The world outside is so big that no Jiangu clansman dares to say that he has seen all the places. Corona originally cultivated on the edge plains outside Jiangu City, mainly oats, pumpkins, winter melons and cucumbers. I have seen many to-and-fro merchants, but only there. At the farthest point, she has been to Beer Town, which is 150 miles southeast of Jiangu City. And Mopan City, which is the capital where the Jiangu clan meeting and the elected king are located, she has never been there.

The Chamber of Commerce that came to Jiangu City to hold a market at this time is called "Golden Dog", and its symbol is a golden retriever sitting cross-legged, with a big tongue of gold—actually bronze—in great spirits, naive. However, in the transaction, the merchants here are all fangs, always trying to make more money from the residents of Jiangu City. "I can't make a profit at this price," they often say. "If you don't think it's suitable, then buy/sell next time. Don't hurt the peace."

If the city is locked down If it is not lifted, the next market may be twenty years later, which is too long. Jiangu city people may hesitate for a long time, but in the end most of them will be sold at a slightly disappointing price. The merchants of the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce have always had a smile on their faces, that kind of gentle, humble smile. When they earn money, they can be happy in their hearts, and there is no need to let others know.

Dagon and Corona approach a merchant who sells elemental spar to identify the stone. The businessman was an almost bald halfling with a big Microscope on his tiny head. After careful observation and weighing, he also specifically asked what creature the two stones came from.

"Forty gold coins each, a very fair price." The halfling took out a brown soft paper and was about to wrap the stones.

Corona felt that there was still room to talk about the price, so she spent a lot of time selling the pair of element stones for 100gold coin. With this hundred gold coins, Dagon's equipment can be better.
