Chapter 58 (1/2)

– Adventurer Life Day 64 (Mon) – Afternoon – Olbia City – Weapon Shop – ‘Dandro's Weapon Shop'

When the weapon Phillips wanted, the throwable spear, wasn't found in the store, an old man who looked to be involved with the shop's business called out to us

He looked to be around 50~60 years old with his hair all greyed, and despite all the spots on his skin, his body still seey

He reminds me of a dwarf from those stories heard from the far west, but his beard was neatly trimmed as to show he still works as a shopkeeper

… For the ti, I introduced myself first

”The name's Dandro Somehow, you wanted a neeapon, but if it's fine, could you tell me the details?”

”Eh… Dandro is it? The same one as the name of this shop?”

”That is correct… is what I would like to say, but I've already retired fro at the shop now… But I'm still able to accept work”

”Are you able to make a throwable spear?”

”I haven't asked what it is yet, so I can't be so sure First, could you explain it to me”

Thankfully, Dandro here seemed to be very cooperative about this

Even when he's dealing with some customers with a troublesos ready

… Looking around, the place here see I would expect from a craftsman's store, but the rooh quality

I wonder if so like this is norhts, Dandro asks some information about the weapon Phillips wanted, so he explained

”Hohh… so it is used for so like that… This is the first ti and to be able to be throell, the position of the center of gravity is going to have to be important… That said, those patterns on your arinate?”

As ti questions, whilesubtle corrections for so a norave me a completely different iht I get it now The way tolike this”

Seeet in the end I think

The whole exchange actually would've ended ed on for quite a while Not that I

See it would be Dandro himself… From the scale of this workshop, if someone frothe process, the final cost is going to be frightening…

”… Er…”

”Wahaha! … Froot out froe sum from adventurers like that! It's just a hobby of mine! A hobby!”

Well, it's nice of hi to have to correct him on this one

“No well, we do have quite a bit of money on us”

“Is that so… then wouldn't it be best if you were to look the part? You're quite young, and that attire of yours doesn't help you look more reliable”

The topic veered off a bit here, but that's probably just this person's habit

… Looking the part huh

I haven't really thought about that toocity, it would've been better to seem as such

Well, I didn't really notice it uild there

In the end, we had the price for the prototype set to 5000 Goldas The weapon was specially made, but the price was mainly from amount of prototypes that would have to bepoints of their centre of gravity, and once Phillips choose the most suitable one, that would then be created several more times

However, if none of the options are chosen then it see more similar to products they already have With all that into account, the price of the weapons froly cheap

When I said that to hi at our store The quality frooes for their prices too!”

… So he says

Well, there's still so I would want to buy, so I suppose that's okay

And so, that should be all that is needed to be said between us, however the problem of this came after

There was tea, sweets and a new topic for a conversation… It's hard to take our leave from here!

This old ht

We brought up conversations about our tis up his work as a blacksmith, the city of Olbia, and the adventurers around here

Since I sort of got into the conversation myself, by the ti

It's a shame, I actually wanted to have a look at some of Olbia's steel armor today, but it doesn't look like I have much time for that anyrounds around the city along with a couple of other things to take note of, so it should be fine if I were to couild, I spoke to Phillips

”Ah… We got caught up for quite a while over there… though it was interesting”

”That's right That elderly was quite interesting There was also a nuave us Especially the one about the steel”

What Phillips was talking about there was the overview in the steel our chat

The trick was to heat a specialised furnace with charcoal, to which you then throw in some more charcoal and iron ore into it It would then be stricken with a haht this sort of thing was supposed to be a secret as it was the case back in Couild, but Dandro insists that it was alright

”I know so like this was supposed to be hidden, but it's already so simple like this isn't really worth to hide”

That hat he said, but then would the blacksain, that elder sure was nice”

”That's true”

I was told that the store deals eapons frouards, so it sounds like the store is quite high in status

Despite supposing to be in retire doesn't ain, that does ht take some time to finish it”

He's still somewhat able to work, but with the old wounds on his waist he had to retire early, and so he has a lot of time on his hands…

That's e heard fro I can understand

I can still feel some pain from my waist, back in that Mine a while back, but Phillips tellsco too– Olbia City – Adventurer's Guild – Inn (Cheap Roouild, and headed to our room from the 2nd floor

However, the room this time was different co a cheap room froly large”
