VRMMO | Terris Story: Someone "Them"

06:B.Equipment, Shield and Chainmail

Out of the Dandelion, a pair of silver-haired girls immediately attracted attention.

Both became famous quickly. One reason is because Alice managed to fight Bill the Demon Trainer. Moreover, some players know both are still using the Common Traveler Set which is a sign of a novice player.

And inevitably, several times other players approached the two. Just to accept the sharp, spicy words from Alice like; "Get on." or "Go."

Alice did so not without reason; she found Elcia still uncomfortable with others and began to hide behind her back. With the rumors saying how powerful Alice was, no player had acted any further at least for now.

Walking towards Blacksmith's shop, the time at Terris showed an afternoon. The sky was almost dark with the street lights burning brightly. Different from the lights that are electrified, the lights they see in the form of a ball that floats —a nuance of magic.

This time, both of them had to walk quite a distance before arriving.

". . ."

"Mr. . ."

Both of them were confused, especially Elcia who had previously seen this place at a glance. Blacksmith's shop looked old, full of dust like it had never been cleaned. The building can even be said to collapse at any time. If not for looking through her window, the two girls would have thought they were misplaced.

But, although it can be said to be sad. The inside of the place was like another world, leaving even Elcia silent for a moment. Their vision was filled with shiny metal wrought in the light of the lamp; weapons, armor and shields and a bit of metal arrows.

Looking at the circumstances before her, Elcia practically began to mention the contents of the arsenal one after another, with shining eyes. "Pauldrons, Chestplate, Gauntlet, Bracer, War Hammer, Cutlass, Sail Dagger, Glaive, Hidden Bla—"

'Buy as necessary first! Understood?' snapped Alice. Trying to stop the maniac inside the girl who starts taking over.

Upon getting the snaps, Elcia's countenance turned slightly disappointed even though she understood the reason clearly. 'Law. . . understood.'

While the two were still looking around the entire place, a muscular Halfling with curly brown hair came out from behind the door in the corner of the room. His clothes looked wet, sweaty, and seeing that both could guess with certainty; a Blacksmith.

"Oh, there's a customer! What are you looking for?" ask with a friendly smile.

"Chainmail." Alice replied quickly.

Chainmail is a type of armor made from small chains. Its main purpose was to reduce the impact of slashes. Light enough for the Halfling race, Alice thought of using it —as in the story the girl had read with Elcia.

"Of course, lately it's quite popular so I'm getting a new one. Just a moment" he said, back in the room behind the door.

The use of Equipment in Terris was actually not affected by any restrictions, allowing one to wear as much as one could handle. But one thing, in addition to severe problems, there are some conditions that provide special restrictions.

Even so, for now both of them have not been able to buy much, so it can be ruled out.

Meanwhile, Elcia began to look at the row of equipment in front of her. Again, it makes him confused to make a choice. Hence, the girl started to do simple eliminations by thinking of some things.

Wearing a Rapier, Elcia decided to cross off the Gauntlet or metal gloves from the list because it was less convenient to use.

Wrist Guard. . ?

Elcia thought a little about this. Wrist Guard or Bracer, arm guards worn by archers, Archers, to prevent injuries caused by bow strings. Elcia saw this as an alternative after crossing out the Gauntlet. Although he uses a sword, Bracer is still a protector.

Then Dagger, the truth is indeed a secondary weapon that matches his sword, but Elcia is not accustomed to the active use of two hands —Dual Wielding. Something like a shield would fit him better because it was more passive.

While, seeing the weight or weight of the item really felt physically on her character, Elcia rejected the thought of wearing a kind of heavy armor.

It's just a shield and a Bracer, huh? thought Elcia.

. . .

The halfling finally returned with a stack of Chainmail, putting it on the table. "What about this?" he continued, taking one from the pile.

Alice immediately checked the Details of the Equipment before her.

...————...

"But put the price at twenty Silver" said the Blacksmith.

Hearing him, Alice tilted her head slightly. "Silver?" tanyanya, confused.

"Two thousand Rea."

Oh, a little tall? Well, it shouldn't be a problem Alice thought. The girl had ten thousand Rea to use and as long as nothing more, she did not care much.

"I'll take one, and help Elcia one more." Alice glanced at the girl, who walked up to her with a round shield. "That's all?"

Elcia nodded. "Ms."

...————...

"Oh? Nice shield." Alice commented with slightly raised eyebrows. He then turned to look at the Blacksmith. "So?"

"Sixty eight Silver."

Alice immediately took out a piece of gold from within the Traveler Bag and gave it away.

Keep in mind if the Inventory system of players owned by Terris does not work like most other Games. It was exactly like in the real world, hence, a player could not carry many items. Unless they use a special magic tool for — storage that has exorbitant prices for all current players. Most players do complain about that, but what is the power?

Getting a change, both of them also used the Equipment they just bought.

Chainmail is used behind the Common Traveler Set, not visible if not noticed. As for the shield, Elcia directly attached it to her right hand, tying the belt behind the shield. Although it might be a bit troublesome if you have to take off repeatedly, Elcia thinks always being ready is not a bad thing.

"Come again!" said the Blacksmith.

Out of that place, both of them stood still for a little while.

"Um. . , it's night, huh?" asked Elcia with a flat face. He just remembered that this was night time for Terris.

"Yes. . ."

The air feels quite cold, —a detail added by Sekai Shard about the difference between day and night. Without knowing what to do, Elcia finally decided to return to the Combat Training Field with Alice.

For a moment, Alice checked the remaining time of Bill's Quest.

Two days five hours? Not as hard as I thought, but, not to be lazy, Alice thought, glancing at Elcia a little with a tired look.

The girl rejected Elcia and her laziness, always thinking of getting anything done as quickly as possible. And because of that, Alice was tired of her behavior.
