Adventurer Guild 1 (Part 2)

(“Welcome!”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"A middle-aged man was standing guard at the store counter."

(“We want to buy armor, sir. Oh, and we were also told to show you this.”) 

"I'm handing you a cover letter. The shop clerk gave a quick scan."

(“Well now, I guess I really should give the best service to Master's savior. By the way, what kind of armor are you looking for?”) 

(“Well, we haven't really decided yet. But I wanted to get something that would not limit my movement, if possible. So armor made of metal cannot be used, I guess.”) 

(“True, true. Metal armor is generally heavy and will limit your range of motion to some extent. We'll have to buy you a set of skin protectors. We have some good quality ones there.”) 

"We're guided to the skin's protective part."

(“There are many different types.”) 

"The price ranges from 3000 to 30,000 guineas and above."

"The design is not much different, but there is a considerable price difference."

(“What is different between them?”) 

(“It was the material they made. The cheap ones are made of orc leather. The more expensive ones are made from wyvern hide.”) 

(“So the more expensive the quality is higher?”) 

(“Yes, it is. The properties of the materials used are very different. The ones made from orc leather were no different from ordinary leather formed into armor. But made of wyvern leather it also serves as a magic tool.”) 

"Our gaze was directed at the black leather armor placed at the back of the shop."

(“Magic tools, yes?” Interesting though.) 

(“Ya. The general masses generally did not know this, but wyverns and dragons actually used magic to fly freely in the sky. I also don't know the exact details, but the fact is that wyverns are creatures that use magic to fly. It was also recently discovered that wyvern skin will harden through magic whenever it receives a pretty strong punch.”) 

(“So they used that property to make this armor huh. The slots in this coffin were supposed to complement magic stones, right? I think that magic stone will supply the magic needed to harden the armor.”) 

(“Ya. Looky. The part that covers this arm feels very soft to the touch, right?”) 

"I tried to touch it, and it was soft."

(“But if you deliver such a blow ..”) 

"The shopkeeper struck him well using a wooden sword placed nearby. It sounded like a sword hitting a hard surface."

"Man, that's amazing! So the skin automatically hardens almost instantly huh! I tried touching it again, and it went back to being soft and supple."

(“How long until the armor hardens?”) 

(“Typically it will take about one or two seconds.”) 

(“It was amazing. But how hard is that? ”) 

(“It could easily receive a blow from the wooden sword. It can also survive from arrows. It also offers a number of protection from spear thrusts. A Grey Hound bite would also not cause any problems. In other words, any ineffective attack against wyvern would be just as ineffective against armor as well.”) 

"I've never seen a wyvern, but, judging by its description, it seems to be a high-level monster."

(“It seems perfect so far.”) 

(“Well, not exactly. It is actually vulnerable to slash attacks. It was of course tougher than most leather armor, but it was inferior compared to metal armor. Aside from the slash, it also could not survive the ballista shot. But it should be expected. In short, any attack that is effective against wyverns is also effective against it. ”) 

(“I understand. Does it have other flaws? ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

(“It used magic so magic stone is a must. It did not use magic if it was not struck with a sufficient amount of power, but after receiving the attack, it used a bit of magic. The amount of magic used depends on the strength of the impact. For example, the one equipped with it right now was a magic stone taken from a Grey Hound. With this magic stone level, his strength would be depleted after a hundred blows.”) 

"That's a pretty good level of consumption."

"So his armor would become ineffective after receiving a hundred blows from the wooden sword huh."

(“Yes, that's right. But this will increase if you provide it with a better quality magic stone. ”) 

(“Can we exchange the magic stone as soon as it runs out?”) 

(“Yes, you can definitely. You just need to slide the magic stone like that and you can easily remove it. You can move the new one the same way. Generally there would be no problem swapping them in the middle of a battle. ”) 

(“How can you tell if the magic is up?”) 

(“You can only check by looking at the color of that magic stone.”) 

(“The magic stone will turn transparent after the magic energy stored in it has been exhausted.”) 

"Cleria provides timely follow-up."

(“So, how much does it cost?”) 

"According to the price tag, it's 35,000 guineas."

(“Un, I will give you a special discount of twenty percent and sell it for 28,000 guinea.”) 

(“Big. I'll buy it.”) 

"We have a lot of money. It would be best to buy some high-quality armor."

(“I want to wear it immediately. Is that okay?”) 

(“Oi, oi. We still have to make some good adjustments to the armor of this level. It will take two days at most. ”) 

(“So it's like that. That's a little problem.”) 

"Then, I won't be able to use it for the adventurer guild test."

(“Is something wrong?”) 

(“I hope to use it when I register in the adventurer guild later.”) 

(“You! You told me that you are actually not yet an adventurer !? ”) 

(“Ya. But I'm pretty confident with my skills, so you don't have to worry about me.”) 

(“Tes rating?”) 

(“Do you not know? It is not appropriate for a person with sufficient skills like you to be given a basic rank, so a test to determine the most appropriate starting rank according to your abilities is required. But, well, even if you get the full value, you still have to start from the C.” rating) 

(“I understand. So that's what the test is for.”) 

(“I can lend you used leather armor if you want. I'll lend it to you until we finish the adjustment on the armor you bought. But the quality is not very good. ”) 

(“It's okay. How much?”) 

(“It's okay. I'll lend it out for free. Think of it as an extra service.”) 

(“I understand. Thank you so much for doing this. That time. Here's the gold.”) 

"I brought all the gold coins just in case. I took out two gold coins and eight large silver from the bag and gave it to the shopkeeper."

(“Oh, you really are a rich man. Thank you for your patronage. It reminds me, I haven't introduced myself. His name is Zaluke.”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

(“My name is Alan. This lady here is Ria.”) 

(“I've been curious since some time ago. Is it just me, or is the armor the woman wears really made of myth?”) 

(“Yes, this armor is actually made from mitril.”) 

“Really!?”) 

"The shopkeeper became confused and went to Cleria to check his armor. Cleria was surprised by his sudden action."

(“Ah! I'm really sorry. I have a bad habit of forgetting myself whenever I see some really good equipment. It is made of mitril. And from the looks of it, the forger was an expert in his field.”) 

(“But ... Can you come here first, dear customer.”) 

"The shopkeeper grabbed my arm and dragged me aside."

(“Oi, is the woman a **?”) 

"There's that unknown word again. Well, I've been able to roughly guess what that means."

(“He may. I'm also not clear about the circumstances.”) 

(“I understand. So it seems there are some special circumstances. But walking around wearing it is a bit bad. You can tell at first glance that his armor is made of myth. It wouldn't be a problem if he was accompanied by a large number of guards. But most likely you will be a target if only you and him are taking a walk.”) 

(“Is it really worth it?”) 

(“Past that! Come look. In this store, selling it for 40,000 Guinea is still considered cheap.”) 

(“It costs that much !?”) 

(“Ya. And the design is so beautiful. It seemed to be based on the armor that ordinary knights and adventurers wore, but the design philosophy was completely different. What the little lady wore was an armor suitable for royal knights. In the eyes of others, it is very clear that he is an **.”) 

"I checked the metal armor sets sold in the store."

(“But it doesn't look too different to me.”) 

(“It's completely different!”) 

(“Ria, can you come here for a while?”) 

"I turned my gaze back and forth between the Cleria armor and the metal armor set in the shop, but I still couldn't see the difference."

(“But they really look the same to me. don't they?”) 

(“They are really, very different, I said yes!”) 

"Zaluke answered enthusiastically."

(“Just look at this line here. It didn't appear on the other sets of armor, did it? And look at this part here. It's from a completely different design. This part also. Ah, and this one too..”) 

"Well, now that I've taken a closer look, it seems a bit different. Might as well. I think."

(“Eh, hey, is it possible to modify this armor so that it doesn't look like a myth?”) 

(“Hm? Ah, well, if we darken the color a little, it should be able to fool the untrained eye.”) 

(“Can you make it so that the design looks like ordinary adventurous armor?”) 

(“I can do that. But it is no exaggeration to call this armor a good work of art. Are you sure you want to do something like that to her?”) 

(“We don't mind too much. Right, Ria?”) 

(“No problem with me.”) 

(“Please modify it so that people cannot recognize it as a myth. The design will look like what adventurers used to do. Be sure to modify it thoroughly. How much does it cost and how long does it take to modify that armor?”) 

(“Ah, it was very futile.. Well, it took me three days. You will be charged 5,000 guinea.”) 

"It's unexpectedly cheap. I took out another five large silvers from the bag and handed them over."

(“Then, we'll hand Ria's armor to you after we're done with our affairs in the adventurer guild. I'll take mine after three days as well. ”) 

(“Understood. I'll need to do your measurements. Please come here for a moment. ”) 

"The shopkeeper went on to measure me and adjust the armor he was going to lend me. It took about an hour."

(“Guild adventurers already open, right?”) 

(“Yes, they are usually already open at dawn.”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Me, Cleria, and Willie are finally heading to the adventurer guild."
