Unlike Songkani, Ravikaman's blacksmith shop didn't seem to be doing very well. The shop was empty. When Livia walked in, no one came to greet her. Even the blacksmith only had two young-looking apprentices sitting next to the furnace and chatting listlessly.
It wasn't until Livia looked around the blacksmith shop that she spotted him.
"Cough cough..." After a few dry coughs, the two blacksmith apprentices stood up hurriedly and walked towards Livia with awkward smiles on their faces.
"that……
Are you going to build something?"
The older blacksmith apprentice on the left looked at his companion, then looked at Livia and asked.
What to eliminate?
Livia felt that what he needed now had already been made in Songkani. The only thing he needed was to make a magic item with the Radiant Gem. However, he did not even believe that the dwarf master in Songkani could make a compatible magic item with the Radiant Gem, let alone the blacksmith of Ravikaman.
Looking at the situation in the blacksmith shop, he could guess that the other party was not even at the level of a master forger. If he was a master, how could the blacksmith shop's business fall to such a depressed state.
To have the strength of a master forger, just as Honas said, many people would go to Songkani specifically to find the dwarf master Lutie Steelmuscle to forge items, even including some extraordinary people.
But Livia didn't come here to forge anything. If she wanted to forge anything, she would have done it in Songkani a long time ago.
"I heard that you have a famous silver-scale breastplate here, so I came here to take a look."
Livia said calmly.
Hearing his words, the two blacksmith apprentices were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and then the older one spoke.
"Well, I'm sorry, for some reasons, we are temporarily not accepting the business of making silver scale breastplates."
The older blacksmith's apprentice looked embarrassed and said apologetically.
After hearing his words, Livia knew that the other party misunderstood that he was here to order the silver scale breastplate, but Livia did not care. Instead, he became interested in his words that he would not take the business of forging silver scale breastplates.
You know, according to Killian, Ravikaman's blacksmith business is now supported by the "high-end product" Silver Scale Breastplate, and now that they are not taking business, won't all the businesses have to close?
"Oh, why don't you take the business of Silver Scale Breastplate now?"
The two blacksmith apprentices looked grim and were unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Livia stopped asking questions, shook his head, turned around and walked out, planning to leave. He came here just to see what the silver-scale breastplate was like. After all, although the material of the suit he was wearing was good and its defense should not be weak, it was not detectable by the system after all. So he wanted to see if this so-called silver-scale breastplate could detect any information.
If the system can detect the information, he will buy a set of protective gear and wear it outside. It will affect the flexibility of his arms a little, but not too much.
But it was obvious that something had gone wrong, as they were no longer accepting any business, not to mention that they still had the Silver Scale Breastplate in stock.
In this case, it is useless for him to stay here. It is just a waste of time. He might as well go have a couple of drinks and relax.
The two blacksmith apprentices watched him walk out of the smithy without saying anything. Finally, they shook their heads and found a place to sit down again listlessly.
…
Gulp~ Sitting in front of the counter, Livia frowned as he drank the beer in his hand in big gulps. The beer tasted sour, and the aroma and appearance were good. But after taking a sip, he discovered the problem. It was probably because it was fermented for too long and the time was not controlled at all.
The winemaking techniques instilled in his memory may not make Livia a winemaking master, but at least he is not a newbie who knows nothing. After taking a sip, he quickly figured out the problem.
Looking at the half of brown-yellow wine left in the glass, Livia frowned, shook her head, and put down the glass.
Instead of drinking this kind of wine in this tavern, he might as well go back and drink the wines he brewed himself. Although the fermentation time is a little shorter for blending, the taste is still better than this deceptive beer.
Thinking of this, he stood up and planned to leave the tavern and go back.
"Is the customer dissatisfied with anything?"
The tavern was deserted. No one came even though it was already evening. The owner of the tavern, who had not been open for many days, became anxious when he saw that the customer who had finally come was about to leave.
Livia turned her head expressionlessly and shook her head at him, "I'm not dissatisfied, I just came here for a drink, and I have to go back to work."
After saying that, he opened the door without looking back and walked out quickly.
The tavern owner was left looking at his back with his mouth twitching, and his hand that was wiping the counter stopped.
What do you mean by drink a cup and then go back to do some work? You just took a sip and left. You are kidding.
The tavern owner thought helplessly as he looked at the half-full glass of wine left in front of him, but there was nothing he could do. The tavern's brewer and chef had long since left to seek other ways of making a living, and even the waiters had gone to work as cargo laborers. He was the only one left to handle all the work in the tavern, and he didn't care about the fermentation time when brewing wine.
He had tasted the wine he brewed himself, so he knew what it tasted like. If the tavern had been unable to sell it, he would have taken his belongings and gone to other places to make a living.
Why……
...After saying hello to Killian, Livia returned to the room assigned to her and lay on her back on the wooden board.
The basil fruit and crab spider venom have not been collected yet, so the universal solvent and the tawny owl cannot be refined. However, it is said that there are still a small amount of basil fruit in the village near the iron mine. It's just that the journey is too far, and it will take at least ten hours to go back and forth, which is completely impossible for them as they have to set out again tomorrow morning.
I can only look for it in Nurti and think of a solution.
Livia didn't think about these things anymore. She sat up, took off the water bag from her waist, opened the cork and took a sip of the Nilfgaardian lemon wine inside.
Although it also has a sour taste, it also has a hint of sweetness, which is much better than the weirdly sour beer.
When he just came back, he put all the remaining wine into water bags. There were seven water bags in total. He hung three on his body and threw the rest into the box containing materials.
Actually speaking of alcohol, Dwarven Liquor was believed to be the strongest and best tasting, but it was used to make potions, and the cost price was three farongs and fifty farongs for a small bottle. He was not that wealthy yet, after all, he still had to make the potion, and he had not made it himself. Even with the memory instilled by the system, he could not be sure of the success rate of making the potion.
