Lord of Hyranza

Chapter 7 6. Larkin's Business

The businessman Larkin took He Boqiang to the door of a canvas tent, and raised the tent to look like a huge warehouse.

Large wooden boxes are stacked together, and many wooden boxes have labels with different characters on the side.

There was an unsealed wooden box at the door. He Boqiang glanced inside and saw a large leg bone lying on the bottom of the box. The leg bone was covered with black magic patterns. Those black magic patterns seemed to have Like some kind of life force, slowly squirming on the leg bone, He Boqiang felt dizzy just looking at it.

"This is a temporary warehouse for storing low-level magic materials. I will let someone put a wooden bed here."

Businessman Larkin said to He Boqiang.

"You will live here in the future, and temporarily help me guard the warehouse here. What you have to do every day is to count the received materials. From time to time, there will be carriages to transport these materials to Handanal County."

He Boqiang nodded.

The interior space of this tent is much larger than it looks on the outside, and there is a faint smell of oil in the tent. He Boqiang crossed the pile of wooden boxes and walked to the end of the tent to find that it was full of swords and shields. It is a standard weapon in the military camp. I didn't expect such a small caravan to store so many military supplies.

He Boqiang couldn't help but picked up a knight's shield from the weapon rack, held it in front of his chest and swiped it with his hand, making a dull sound.

There was a row of thick round-handled Roman swords on the weapon rack. There were some simple patterns engraved on the bronze handle, but these patterns should be decorations. He Boqiang couldn't feel the dizziness on the black-patterned magic skin on the patterns. The Roman sword The blade was only less than three feet, but it was unusually thick.

He Boqiang stretched out his hand to hold the heavy Roman sword and took it off the weapon rack. He Boqiang felt that his movements were extremely smooth, especially when he held the hilt, he seemed to have a long-lost feeling, and he played it skillfully. The sword came, and effortlessly inserted the Roman sword back into the weapon rack.

"Do you like these weapons?" Larkin stared at He Boqiang and asked, as if he had discovered a treasure, his eyes brightened.

He Boqiang nodded.

Then his eyes fell on other weapon racks. In addition to a row of Roman swords, there were several dark-edged daggers in this tent. The handles of the daggers were made of brown leather, which would be very comfortable to hold. , In addition, near the main column in the middle of the tent, there are more than a dozen Paglio spears, which are all-metal spears, and only heavy armored infantry will use these heavy weapons.

Larkin seemed to trust Surdak very much, and was not worried that Boqiang He would be guarding himself in this tent full of weapons and magic materials.

Larkin then asked: "Then do you know how to maintain these weapons? Just take them out and wipe them regularly, and apply some animal grease on the cutting edge."

As he spoke, he took out a greasy rag and wiped it hard on a Roman sword, as if he was showing He Boqiang a demonstration.

He Boqiang took the oily rag. Instead of wiping the Roman sword like Larkin did, he picked up a bar-shaped whetstone from the tray of the weapon rack, and rubbed it skillfully on the edge before using the tarp. Wipe it carefully on the blade.

Larkin glanced at He Boqiang with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, you will be responsible for the maintenance of weapons in the future."

The warehouse was full of the musty smell of rotten bones. Larkin didn't want to stay in it too much, so he took He Boqiang out of the tent and said at the tent door:
"Oh, by the way, we have two meals a day. You can choose to bring the food back here to eat, or you can eat together with everyone. As for the wages, it will be settled according to fifteen silver coins per week. If you are outstanding, I will give you an appropriate raise, and if you want to do it, try it first."

Obviously, Larkin was looking at Surdak's face, and was not mean to He Boqiang.

The weekly salary of [-] silver bucks is considered to be an upper-middle salary level for the civilian class in the Green Empire, but for a war zone like Handanall County, this salary is still low. This should be He Boqiang's salary during the probationary period. , there should be a slight improvement in the follow-up.

After explaining this, Larkin merged into the flow of people in this commercial street, and chatted with the two warriors in chain armor very familiarly.

And He Boqiang squatted down at the entrance of the tent, looking at the bustling crowd in the simple street market, his mind was full of confusion about the future.

……

In front of the booth at the camp stood a light knight shield, two daggers, three Roman swords and a Paglio spear. Gabi squatted behind the booth and yawned boredly, holding two copper plates in his hands. Even if there are soldiers passing by in front of Gabi, Gabi will not sell the goods in front of the stalls to those soldiers, just waiting for someone to stop voluntarily.

The standard weapons and equipment in the barracks are the property of Count Mond Goss. Even if some weapons and equipment are damaged in battle, the soldiers can go to the logistics office to replace them, but only if there is a valid reason.

However, there is a bit of a gap between the standard weapons and these excellent quality weapons. If you think the standard saber is too light, the Roman sword shaped like a mallet is a good choice. After watching it for a long time, no one came up to ask the price, and Larkin didn't seem to care much. The business of the stall is good or bad, and Gabi, who is standing in front of the stall, also looks nonchalant.

He Boqiang felt that Larkin didn't seem to expect much money from this stall.

The brawny Ulysses looked very honest after suffering losses from He Boqiang, and quietly got into the tent to sleep.

The curly-haired boy Gabi turned around and beckoned to He Boqiang. He Boqiang walked to the stall and squatted behind the stall, imitating Gabi's posture. In addition to weapons, the stall also placed some whetstones and the like. In the place next to him, there are also two black-striped microdermabrasion the size of a child's palm and a few dark-colored egg-shaped stones.

He Boqiang picked up an egg-sized black stone.

"These are magic cores."

Gabi pointed to his head with a strange smile on his face and said, "It was dug out of the evil spirit's brain, but this kind of head is a bit small, they don't believe that there are magic crystals in it, in fact, there are only magic crystals hidden in it. Crystals are valuable, in fact, buying the magic core is like gambling, if you can get the magic spar from it, you will earn it, otherwise you will buy a worthless piece of rotten stone."

Gabi scratched his hay-like curly hair, then pointed to a pile of smaller magic cores on the booth, and said, "Here's [-] silver pegs."

He pointed to another pile of demon cores the size of a fist, and said, "The one here is more expensive, about a gold coin. Many people in the military camp like to bet on this."

Hearing what Gabi said, He Boqiang felt that buying magic cores should be similar to betting on jadeite.

Like magic, Gabi took out a piece of beef jerky from nowhere, stuffed it into He Boqiang's hand, threw a piece of jerky into his mouth, and said to He Boqiang, "I hope you don't mind what happened just now, Ulysses has no bad intentions, he just likes wrestling with people."

He simply sat behind the stall and introduced to He Boqiang, "Actually, our daily work is very simple. I am in charge of watching the stall. Ulysses has to keep a vigil at night. We haven't fought much recently. busy."

Gabi has a few brown freckles on his cheekbones and a high bridge of his nose, but he's a little thin. Like Larkin, he would babble endlessly when he opened the chat box: "I don't think you're from Bena..."
