As always, I had a lousy night's sleep.…
Well, that's fine.
Now I am in an inexpensive hotel, which I found in a hurry.
To my surprise, lunch for a few copper coins is not bad here, I would even say good.
Of course, I could afford to reserve a room in the best hotel, but I prefer to have my own roof over my head, so I'll save for now. And then, when I get to my destination, if I like it, I'll buy myself a house, or at least a piece of land.…
Well, first of all, what did I decide to do this early morning? Seriously, it's six in the morning, it looks like my internal clock is down…
So, I decided to go to the blacksmith and buy equipment for the skeleton.
A miser pays twice if his weapon breaks during a fight, I'm in trouble…
Wandering around the outskirts of the city, I came across a remote blacksmith shop, I'll probably buy it here, it looks relatively decent.
There was a shop adjacent to the forge itself, which I went to.
Judging by what my watch says, it was already seven o'clock, so it must be open.
This store didn't stand out in any way, but it still looked cozy.
There was another customer inside, so I decided to keep my voice down.
The assortment was quite extensive, from light chain mail to armor that looked like it weighed a ton.
And while my gaze wandered through all kinds of goods, the previous customer was served, and a man in an apron came up to me, who was slightly shorter than me in height, but clearly wider in the shoulders. He looks like he eats protein first, and then works with hardware and so on in a circle, he probably hasn't even slept lately, judging by his tired face…
Although I probably don't look any better, but I'm wearing a mask, so I'm always gorgeous!
The blacksmith: - what are you looking for?
- Yes, just small things: leather trousers, boots with plate shields, armor, sword, shield and helmet.
The Blacksmith: - it's obviously not a small thing… Are you looking for yourself? What if you decided to switch from mages to swordsmen?
It was a mockery, wasn't it?
Do you want me to get everything here according to a bloodstained will?
Okay, calm down…
I've already managed to get an approximate price, so I'll voice what I decided on the armor…
- To an acquaintance, he is thin and looking for armor with a bunch of straps to fit him firmly. As I understand it, leather is the best option here? The second thing I need is a torso support with size adjustment. Then the boots on the straps, as I said, with armor plates. And... do you have a mask with a hood attached to it?
Blacksmith: - Of the above, do I have everything except a mask to make to order? I'll manage until tomorrow.
He spoke in a serious tone. Well, I'm still a buyer with money.
- Yes, do it, but in the meantime, bring the armor…
Dachshund, now I would like to remember what the broken sword that belonged to my partner looked like…
So it was one-handed, one-sided sharpened, and as I understood it, before the "breakdown" it was quite long, about eighty centimeters if you estimate with the handle…
Hmm, if you remember my palm is about eighteen centimeters, that is, it's about five times.
After a few attempts, I found a suitable tool and put it on the counter, took a wooden shield with an iron border and a semicircle in the center, well, such a small one. In general, it will do.
