"oh?"
Natalia turned her head and looked at Honasan with interest. You know, Honasan was very picky when it came to war horses, and a considerable portion of their family's income now came from the war horses trained and sold by Honasan.
Even he praised Livia's brown horse so much, so it must be an extremely excellent horse.
Livia smiled awkwardly. He was a little surprised to hear Honasan's praise for his horse. Although he also thought that the brown horse was pretty good, he didn't expect Honasan to give it such a high evaluation. It seemed that he owed Deron more than just a small favor.
The old butler behind Natalia didn't pay attention to the warhorse the three were talking about. He turned around helplessly and picked up the big purse containing the reward from the ground in front of the bookshelf with some effort.
Ping~Ding Ding Ding Ding~Crisp sounds came from the desk, interrupting the three people.
Livia's eyes fell on the big bag that the old butler had placed on the desk with great effort. "It contains 30 gold coins and 150 large silver coins, a total of 3,000 farongs."
Natalia spoke at the right time.
A standard gold coin is 50 farongs, a large silver coin is 10 farongs, a total of 3,000 farongs.
After a quick calculation and confirming the amount in her mind, Livia took the purse on the table with a smile.
Um?
It’s actually a bit heavy, probably almost ten kilograms.
Livia just picked it up and weighed it, and found that the weight of the purse was a little heavy. Although this weight was nothing to him now, it would be a bit difficult for ordinary people to hold it all the time.
No wonder it is becoming more and more difficult to trade nowadays. In this way, you have to prepare a carriage to carry money for every transaction. Once you encounter monsters or robbers, all your belongings will be lost. How can a small businessman who cannot hire too many guards afford such a loss?
But Livia didn't care. The money was not too much, so he could just put it in the horse bag while traveling. Besides, he would probably spend a lot of it later.
"By the way, the potion will probably take one to two months to make."
Natalia suddenly thought of something and spoke.
Um?
Hearing her words, Livia’s brows furrowed deeply, one or two months?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Livia's brows suddenly frowned, Natalia asked in confusion. It usually takes a long time to make potions, not to mention that one has to queue up to find a wizard to make potions. If she hadn't spent a lot of money to make an appointment in advance, she would probably have to wait until half a year later.
You have to know that it is very rare for a wizard to openly be an alchemist and stay in one town. Moreover, he has not been recruited yet. Not to mention the entire kingdom, at least in this area, there are endless people looking for him to make potions. It is impossible to meet this wizard through normal channels.
Hearing the question, Livia explained helplessly: "Just like what I told you at the beginning, I also accepted the commission from the merchant of that caravan. I have to leave Songkani and go to Nurti in the next two days."
"That won't take more than a few months."
Natalia thought for a moment and spoke again in confusion. Honasan beside her also showed a puzzled look on his face. Only the old butler looked at the desk calmly, as if he didn't hear the conversation.
"The main thing is that I have to rush to the capital within three months. I have an extremely important matter to attend to there."
Livia smiled bitterly and continued to explain, Royal Capital?
Natalia and Honasan looked at each other, their eyes filled with solemnity and confusion.
Turning his head to look at Livia, he found that he looked embarrassed and obviously didn't want anyone to ask any more questions.
Natalia and Honasan had to suppress their doubts and words, "If we go to the capital...
It took about a month and a half, which was not enough time.”
Natalia pondered. If she wanted to participate in the selection of the Royal Knights, she would definitely have to go to the capital of the kingdom, so she naturally learned about the route to the capital.
"How about a certain Faron instead?"
Natalia suggested, frowning.
"Lady Natalia, no!"
Before Livia could reply, Honasan and the old butler's faces changed and they dissuaded him anxiously.
"The remaining money must be kept for what comes next."
The old butler said with a serious look.
Natalia sighed. Just as the old butler had said, the Lambardia family now had very few Farrons to use. If they exchanged them for Farrons worth a bottle of potion, they would not have enough to deal with the next situation.
"How about this, Livia just told me that she wants to find a blacksmith and a tailor, let's bear the expenses for this."
Honasan thought about it and suddenly suggested.
The old butler frowned when he heard his words, and was about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something and showed an expression of approval.
"Oh, Livia, you need to find a blacksmith and a tailor?"
Natalia asked, looking up at him in surprise.
Livia pointed at the iron sword and clothes behind him again with a helpless look, then thought for a while and said, "I need to repair the iron sword, build a crossbow and a set of leather armor, um...
There are other things as well.”
He thought about it and decided to make a set of leather armor. Although it is not as defensive as armor, it is flexible and convenient. As a witcher, he will encounter more sudden situations, so leather armor is better. However, if conditions are sufficient, he can also add armor to places that do not affect movement like in the game.
The top-level demon hunter suit for the demon hunter in the game is leather and chain mail, and other suits are mostly leather armor.
After all, for a witcher, flexibility and convenience in movement are the most important things. Armor defense is completely useless when facing special monsters and large monsters. It will only affect movement and slow down speed.
Natalia nodded thoughtfully, and said to Honasan beside her: "Then Honasan, take Livia to the blacksmith in our family this afternoon."
"OK."
Um?
Livia looked at Natalia and Honasan with some confusion. The family's blacksmith?
? ?
Honasan turned around and looked at Livia's confused expression, then smiled and explained, "The Lambardia family has its own blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith is a skilled dwarf blacksmith. His forging skills are enough to rank among the top five in Songkani."
"dwarf……
Top five?
Livia murmured in confusion.
“Yes, top five.
I was originally planning to take you to the master blacksmith in the lord's castle. His forging skills are the undisputed best in Songkani, even better than the others. It is said that the master was once one of the three forging supervisors of the front-line armament forging department."
“It’s just that it’s very difficult for him to make a move, and I just wanted to take you to try it out. If it doesn’t work, you still have to go back to our family to find Master Lu Tie Steel Muscle.
Honasan explained with a laugh.
Livia didn't hesitate and simply nodded in agreement. If he had to pay, he would like to find the man who was known as the undisputed number one master of Songkani, but if it was free, he would naturally agree to the arrangement. Moreover, he was ranked in the top five and was a professional blacksmith race, the dwarves, in Western legends, so his forging skills would not be bad.
