Chapter 607 Became Lighter
The carriage arranged by Pedder took him out of the Leng Feicui Manor. Gervis did not return to the academy, but directly ordered the carriage to take him to the outer city.
Gervis had previously told Pedder about having a carriage take him to the outer city, and Pedder naturally agreed to such a small request.
As for whether Lolita and others would discover the fact that he knew necromancy by doing this, Gervis had figured it out. Since Lolita knew about his purchase of dark attribute monster crystals, he might as well be generous and stop hiding it.
Anyway, this is a matter of time. I have always planned to use the magic of the dead openly in the future, which will not expose my identity as a god of death.
As for why Gervis went to the blacksmith shop in the outer city to buy weapons and armor.
There is actually a blacksmith shop in the inner city of the City of Hope, but the prices there are daunting, with the unit price starting at hundreds of gold coins.
No one would do business with less than a hundred gold coins, so Gervis didn't dare to look for a blacksmith shop in the inner city to make and buy weapons.
When Gervis arrived outside the city in a carriage, the driver took Gervis to a dwarf blacksmith shop on his own.
In the Holy Continent, all blacksmith shops are occupied by dwarves.
The dwarves' sturdy arms and thousands of years of continuous inheritance made them invincible in the Holy Continent. Even common people would ask dwarves to make farm tools for them. After all, making a farm tool could be passed down.
"Welcome to Quillard's blacksmith shop. What kind of weapon do you want to make? I can satisfy your needs here."
"I want twenty sets of equipment for longbowmen, thirty-nine sets of equipment for longswordmen, plus a set of heavy armor for warhorses! Forged from mithril!"
The dwarf was as narcissistic as ever. Looking at the dwarf who was not tall but as strong as a bull, Gervis directly told the armor he wanted.
Gervis summoned a total of fifty-nine skeleton soldiers in the morning, plus a group of skeleton war horses.
As for the skeleton soldiers, Gervis planned to use twenty of them as longbowmen, and the remaining thirty-nine as close combat longswordmen.
Then Gervis told the dwarf in detail the dimensions of the armor, especially the dimensions of the skeleton horse armor.
When the dwarf heard about such a big deal, he smiled so much that he couldn't stop and even changed his address.
"Oh, distinguished guest, you made the right choice to come to Quillad's blacksmith shop to buy these weapons and armor. Quillad's craftsmanship is famous in the City of Hope."
"Quillard, tell me how much it costs!"
Although Quillard may seem to be boasting, his skills are indeed good, otherwise the coachman would not have brought him here.
However, what Gervis is most concerned about is the question of how much money it will cost.
"Dear guest, each set of longbowman's equipment only costs 15 gold coins, including the longbow, inner and outer armor, helmet, and two hundred arrow feathers!"
"Each set of equipment for the longsword warrior only costs 20 gold coins, including the longsword, full body armor, iron shield, and helmet."
"The heavy armor for your warhorse is not expensive, only 130 gold coins!"
The dwarf immediately gave his offer with a bright smile, took a sip of the wine in the flagon in his hand, and waited for Gervis's answer.
After hearing what the dwarf blacksmith said, Gervis smacked his lips, feeling that the gold coins in this sacred continent were a bit too precious.
Twenty longbowmen need 15 gold coins for each set of equipment, which means 300 gold coins are needed, and each set of equipment for longswordmen requires 20 gold coins, which is 780, plus 130 pieces of skeleton warhorse armor. Gervis needs to pay a total of 1,210 gold coins this time.
Of course, the premium includes the craftsmanship of the dwarves and the prices of goods in the City of Hope.
However, if Gervis wants to rely on these skeleton soldiers to help him fight, necessary expenses are still necessary, otherwise the warriors here are basically titled knights.
If Gervis only equipped the skeleton soldiers with ordinary weapons, they would have no combat effectiveness at all.
"Money is a bastard. I can just make more money!"
Gervis thought that maybe in a few months he would need to cross the dangerous area to meet up with Caroline and the others, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Of course, for such a large transaction, the decimals had to be eliminated. In the end, Gervis took out 600 gold coins as a deposit, and the other 600 would be paid when the goods were received in two days.
As he walked out of the blacksmith shop and got into the waiting carriage, Gervis felt as if he had become lighter.
Yes, it became lighter, because his purse was much lighter, although the purse had always been hidden in the space ring.
"It's time to find a way to make money!"
Gervis spent all 6,500 gold coins in just a few days, leaving only a mere 300 gold coins. In addition to the hundreds of gold coins he originally had, he now only had more than 500 gold coins on him. Gervis felt a little insecure.
"We need to find a way to make money?"
Sitting in the carriage, Gervis kept thinking, but when the carriage took him back to the college, he had not figured out any good way to make money quickly.
"It would be great if we were in the Sacred Forest. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. It would be easy to make money. The most important thing is that there is wine!"
…
Carriages were not allowed to enter the college gate, so in the end Gervis got off the car at the college gate and walked towards the dormitory building.
But when Gervis was halfway there, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, the beautiful rich girl Adela.
At this time, Adela was walking with a slightly frown on her brow, while a young man was following her with a smile on his face.
Of course, this young man looked very good. Unlike other students, he did not wear a magician's robe, but a silk suit, looking handsome and elegant.
"Adela, I got two Moonlight Spirit Fruits during this adventure. I heard that you successfully broke through and became a junior magician, so I specially sent them to you! Please accept them!"
"I'm sorry, Warren. Thank you very much for your kindness. However, I also obtained the Moonlight Spirit Fruit in the tower of the Nahum Wizard some time ago, so I don't need these two from you!"
"Adela, the Moonlight Spirit Fruit can be eaten repeatedly. It can increase your affinity with dark creatures, so you really don't have to refuse!"
Gervis heard the conversation between the two from a distance. Needless to say, it was obvious that there was a toad greedy for swan meat.
Of course, the one in front of him is slightly different. He is a golden toad.
Thinking of how Adela had given him the notebook the day before yesterday, Gervis felt that he should help this kind-hearted young lady.
Although this seems boring and extremely hateful to Gervis.
"Adela-san!"
So, Gervis walked straight forward, with two jade boxes in his hands!
"Harry-san!"
When Adela heard Gervis' voice, her slightly frowned brows relaxed and she subconsciously walked towards Gervis.
This is a subconscious action when acquaintances greet each other. It is obvious that Adela's feelings towards Gervis are not comparable to that young man!
