Saiba and Lily arrive at a small brick building with a pig-shaped sign hanging on the door. The sign reads, 'The Brazen Boar'. They enter and are met with numerous tools, armor sets, and weapons that decorate the interior of the building.
A man comes out from a room in the back and shouts,
"Welcome adventure! This is my blacksmith shop, the Brazen Boar!"
He adds,
"Oh Lily! Long time no see!"
Lily waves at the man with a smile and replies,
"Long time no see!"
The man is quite short and he has a thick orange beard. He is also wearing dirtied overalls with leather gloves and a welder's mask. Lily introduces the man to Saiba while saying,
"Oh right! Saiba, this is Geoffried! He was a big help when I first started my journey as an adventurer!"
Geoffried butts in an explains,
"Yup! It's exactly as she says! I'm Geoffried, a [Blacksmith] that specializes in [Equipment Restoration], but I am perfectly capable of doing all the other things normal Blacksmiths can do!"
Saiba reaches out to shake Geoffried's hand while saying,
"Nice to meet you Mr. Geoffried!"
Geoffried shakes Saiba's hand and asks,
"So, what brings you here today, Lily?"
Lily answers,
"Actually, it's not for me this time. Mr. Hero here, broke his armor after fighting the big wolf and he wants to get it fixed."
Saiba shows the halved chestplate and bows down while asking,
"Please Mr. Geoffried!"
Geoffried scans the destroyed armor and rubs his chin while thinking. He says,
"Hm... This does seem like a problem... Can I check the stats for it?"
Saiba passes the armor over to Geoffried as he says,
"Oh yeah, sure!"
Geoffried taps the armor and a pop-up appears with some information about the equipment. It reads,
[Graystone Armor: Medium-Class Armor. Forged with Graystone. ATK +2. DEF +5. SPD -1. Durability: 1]
He rubs his chin again saying,
"Graystone huh... That's pretty rare so I don't have any in-stock right now. If you could find some, I could do it for you... Are you up for the challenge though?"
Saiba, without hesitation, answers,
"Of course I am!"
Geoffried, with a smile on his face, says,
"Right on Hero! I'll tell Lily how to find Graystone. Do you wanna look for some temporary armor in the meantime? I'll even give you a 50% discount!"
Saiba's eyes light up as he replies,
"Really?! Thanks a lot Mr. Geoffried!"
Geoffried chuckles a little. He calls over Lily to explain how to find the rare ore while Saiba starts searching the walls for the perfect replacement.
He begins with the premium recommendations, but none of them appeal to him. Next, he looks at the normal selection. Still, nothing catches his eye. Finally, he moves onto the discount bin and starts rummaging around. At the bottom of the bin, he spots a worn-out set of black armor. He quickly pulls it out and a pop-up appears with information about the armor. It reads,
[Black Rock Armor: Medium-Class Armor. Forged with Rough Rock. ATK +1. DEF +1. SPD +0]
Saiba runs over to where Geoffried is. It looks like they have just finished their conversation as Saiba announces,
"Hey, Mr. Geoffried! I want this one!"
Geoffried looks back at him with a confused look while replying,
"A-Are you sure you want this one? I'm giving you a discount, you know?" You can spoil yourself a bit more..."
Saiba nods his head yes strongly. Geoffried sighs and says,
"Alright then... Your total is... 500 Gold pieces..."
Saiba hands over the payment and checks his balance. His expression turns to sorrow as he notices that he just used up half of his total gold.
Saiba walks out of the shop with his new armor, lost gold, and some disappointment. Lily follows close by as Saiba turns around and asks,
"Lily! Can you please tell me how to make some money?"
Lily replies, completely unfazed,
"Oh yeah sure. Follow me."
Lily, once again, leads the way as they head to their next destination.
