Blasphemy

Chapter 8: Morning Star

Farburg is located more than 700 miles from the capital of the Rhine City League and includes a large city with a population of 200,000. Due to the importance of its strategic location, it is the second military city on the western border of the Rhine League. At the same time, it also prevented the monsters in the Demon Forest from charging into the rich Perth Plains.

The area around Farburg is flat, with the Perth River flowing around the city. Over a hundred miles to the south is the Demon Forest, so Farburg has become the most important supply war for adventurers and monster hunters. The area of the Demon Forest was almost equivalent to the entire Rhine League, bounded by the Pyrenees Mountains to the west, the sea to the south, and the entire Red Rock Peninsula to the east. Its total area is almost one million square kilometers. Since there was little large-scale monster activity on the edge of the forest, and many trade routes passed through this place, this place also became a haven for thieves and bandits.

Gun workshop ‘Palu Perang’ has been opened for one month. The reason the workshop was given this name was no more because of the slight advantage of the short artisan, but now there really was a short handyman. Jin, who brought his four students to work in the workshop. The weapons workshop was located in a small three-story building in the most prosperous area of Farburg. The first floor of the small building was an arsenal, the second floor was a paradise for adventurers. The third floor originally wanted to be used as Faith's laboratory, but was rejected by everyone. Then, the floor was used as a VIP room to receive large clients and displayed some works of Faith.

In a small building not far from Palu War is Roger's residence, as well as the workshop and laboratory Faith is located. The largest laboratory measures over 200 square meters. Currently a large and complicated magic circle was drawn on the floor. A colorful circle of light shone in the magic circle. A bluish-white magic flame sprayed out from the middle of the magic circle. Some of the knight armor made by Jin was being burned by fire. Faith carefully took out a piece of armor with iron pliers, placing a magic symbol made of magic silver at a certain position. A burst of flames lit up and the magic symbol was firmly welded onto the armor. Roger hurriedly handed over a small bottle of blue liquid that was the blood of an adult Wilvern. Wivern was ferocious, swift, and had good magic protection, and was among the most difficult monsters to fight among mid-level monsters. Many parts of his body could be used as magic raw materials. His blood could slightly increase the protection of magic. And magic silver was an indispensable material for making magic tools because its tenacity and magic power absorption were excellent. However, because it is rare, it is not cheap. Generally, the price of magic silver was about ten times that of gold of the same weight.

Wilvern's blood dripped on the finished piece of iron, like a sponge absorbing water, the blood was quickly absorbed by the entire iron.The armor turned into a fluorescent light blue color. Roger took the armor and threw it again into the magic fire. After all the armor was taken care of, Faith cast a spell on the magic fire. A pair of light blue wind wings formed and flew towards the magical flame. The wind wings whirled on the magical flame rapidly and increasingly rapidly. There was a sound exploding, then flames surged, white light flashed across the ceiling, the barrier blocking the outbreak of magic flames. The firestorm came and went quickly, then disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving some blue iron on the floor. After combining this wind magic, as there was wind magic support at all times, the weight of the armor was reduced by 60%.

At Roger's request, each armour plus a bit of magic silver. Faith gave the lighting spell again. This time the entire armor started to become transparent light blue as the magic formed by the new magic silver emitted a blue light.

He chuckles, “So it's better. Jin, it's a coincidence that you came. I just wanted to find you. Make these armor into half-body armor. Yes, the most popular models of paladin armor this year. The connecting part of the armor should be made of gold, then add a little more gold decoration around the edge of the armor. Call Franco here, he better understands art.” Roger said with passion.

The short genie disagrees. “Cannot, armor connecting parts should be made with high quality steel wire. The function of armor is to protect! I don't want to ruin the reputation.”

“Then wrap the outer layer of steel wire with gold wire. That's all right, right? Anyway, all the armor should be wrapped in gold. The most important thing about this armor is money. Add a layer of gold, you will get more money. Tell Lance to choose a robe that is kayaking for this armor, it should be the best. Jin, you have to finish this armor the day after tomorrow. If I don't see him, you can't have a beer. Oh yes, this armor is named the Blue Crystal Iron Shirt. His name should not be carved first. Find the name the buyer wants. One word ten gold coins.”

Jin brought the armor down to the bottom floor. He chooses beer between conscience and beer, but he curses. “Money sucker! Dull eyes!”

Roger insists on selling high quality products at high prices. The reason is very good. “People who can afford these tools don't mind. As long as the quality is good, the price is not a problem. Our best customers are not wealthy adventurers and know quality, but noble children who have too much money. Right, like Lance. Don't play with your hands! If we don't complain about their money, who do we make our money from? So we do not sell the right, only sell the expensive.”

Second, all of Roger's armor paid close attention to appearance accessories and a hint of impractical gimmicks. For example, this Blue Crystal Iron Shirt. This armor was very light like leather armor, with good physical defense and magic defense effects. This is the best product in the armour boutique. But after combining light magic, it only made the magic armor have a transparent crystal effect. The light is softer and more attractive, but there is no practical effect at all. While the accessories designed by Franco did not help the battle other than adding weight. But Roger said, “This armor is clear to the paladins. Is it for sale to real paladins? Of course not. Which paladin would wear this? We have to sell it to nobles who want to become paladins. Will they really go to a dangerous cave for adventure? They would only use it for hunting. Therefore, models and beauty are more important, should make them look like heroes in front of the girls. War Hammer will not be a big arms dealer, but become a high-end brand like Purple Angel Jewelry and Shangri-La Hot Springs

Everyone was silent hearing that. Since then, Roger's money-sucking nickname has spread everywhere.

The War Hammer business is growing rapidly. Although only one knight sword, one pistol, and a set of armor were sold in the past month. That's Faith's full capacity. Their efforts not only returned the capital of 10,000 gold coins, but also obtained 3,000 gold coins.

The afternoon sun shone down on the calm flowing Perth River, the vast river surface lined with golden layers. A group of knights in armor with axes and spears were casually patrolling along the river. The leader of the knights wore dark green armor, the rest were Farburg knights in khaki armor.

This is the third time Kate has led a guerrilla cavalry force since arriving in Farburg two months ago. The sun was shining, several fishing boats were floating in the river and the occasional singing of fishermen was heard. There was a green field beside the river, the Demon Forest that was far away from there also looked peaceful. Kate was happy. It's called tourism. The only disadvantage is that the gang of thieves does not show their nose so that everywhere looks peaceful and prosperous. Kate's counting, it's been five days. He waved his hand and shouted, “Bros, troops disperse.” A group of axe and spear knights turned around and walked towards Farburg.

The knights of Farburg consisted of 7,000 men, including 2,000 cavalry, 4,000 infantry– pedestrian troops, and 1,000 soldiers. After all, it was a second-rate army. The peaceful days made the combat effectiveness of knight Lord Wenington mediocre.

Roger and the others have adapted to life in Farburg, meaning they have found a place of entertainment and a beer tavern there, not forgetting the fight with adventurers and mercenaries. Other than Lord Drizzt, they were not afraid of offending anyone for having Lord Wenington as support. In business, some good quality magic equipment was sold, especially after the Blue Crystal Iron Shirt was bought by the youngest son of a Duke for 10,000 gold coins. Roger saw the employees were too relaxed, then he forced them to make some equipment that was not blessed with magic to sell. The expertise of the employees is certainly very beautiful, every batch of goods sold out.

Right now, on the third floor of the War Hammer armor boutique, Roger was arguing with a small group of adventurers. There were nine people in this adventurer team, which was the standard configuration of the adventurer team. There were warriors, rangers, shooters, witches, priests, and thieves, one or two each. They had just returned from an adventure in the Demon Forest and were exchanging the harvest of their adventure with some equipment.

What made Roger's eyes glow was a two-pound bag of magic silver, as well as some relatively rare metals and gems, such as a piece of ore, with a hint of Venus shining in the dark. Once seen, Roger instantly recognized that this was a high-quality star gold raw ore. This type of gold is different from ordinary gold, it has a mysterious correspondence with the power of the stars in the sky, and, it is extremely rare and is an indispensable raw material in the manufacture of magic weapons related to space magic. Crystal cores and monster feathers were also extremely valuable, but were much inferior to this metal. Roger's attention was drawn to a piece of red bird feather carried by the female magician on the team. With the help of spiritual power, Roger discovers that this feather has faint but agile fluctuations of fire magic.

Adventurers love a pair of magic bows, which are a common characteristic of all War Hammer products, which are decorated with rose branches in white and purple gold threads. This bow was combined with three light green broken magic arrows, two white dragons made of pure magic silver coiled on the arrows, and all four of its wings spread out into arrow tail feathers. The young lady's archer's eyes sparkled, she hugged the bow and arrow tightly, unwilling to let go.

The female witch was enchanted by a magic power amplifier bracelet. With Jin and Faith's incredible skills, Franco's sense of beauty, and Lance and Roger's deep understanding of the dark side of the human heart, this bracelet represents a fusion of celestial stone and silver magic. The entire bracelet was transparent deep blue, under the influence of magic, small stars appeared and disappeared. Wearing this bracelet is like wearing the night sky. The gaze of the female witch became deep. A simple mosaic technique can also create the same magic enhancement effect.

Women who are caught up in the shopping cravings can no longer think rationally. Fortunately, although the strength of these adventurers was good, their knowledge of the items was lacking. Roger was sweating and his fat was shaking. I don't know since when all the fat Roger can vibrate at will. With a miserable look, he lowered the price bit by bit. After adding two half-body armor, four swords, and thirty armor-piercing arrows, the deal was finally reached. The red feathers belonged to Roger.

To be honest, what Roger is selling is a good product and the price is worth it. The most important thing in making money is to buy adventurer booty at a low price. For example this time, the star gold raw ore was a priceless treasure, far more than hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The magic silver bag was worth 10,000 gold coins, while the monster was only 10,000 gold coins. Not to mention the other unknown metals and the red feathers. Instinct tells Roger that the more incomprehensible something is, the more valuable it is.

Roger finally understood the meaning of the saying ‘kaya it depends on hard work’.

After this adventurer team left, several people walked into the VIP room again. Lance greeted them politely.

Roger had just put on a professional smile and was about to greet when the head of the incoming entourage took off his robe, revealing his blonde hair and dazzling Roger's eyes.

He reached out one hand and said, “It's nice once we meet again. I'm Ofirok von Willem.”
