Chapter 17 New Equipment

"Double Lion Crown, you dare to engrave the imperial emblem on the armor you made?!"

Ron saw from the side that the tip of the half-elf's ears turned red, and he looked really angry.

"When I get back, I must find someone to report this situation! The imperial emblem appears in such a small place, which is a great insult to the elves!"

"You..." The blacksmith was stunned. He never dreamed that he would meet someone who really knew the goods in the town of Fromm, and he revealed the origin of this "treasure of the town" of his family.

"But... how is this possible?" The blacksmith looked at Ivy in disbelief, "No elves have ever come to me--"

"That's because they don't bother to come here to buy equipment!" Ivy's tone and posture were extremely oppressive, "It's because you met me today. If it was a real elf from the Hailan Empire, you wouldn't even be able to save your life!"

"Humans will never turn against the elves because of a guy like you who doesn't know the height of the world, understand?"

"Now, tell me, where did you get this armor?"

"Yes, it was on the battlefield!" The blacksmith raised his hands, trying to let the other party He tried to calm down, but he didn't know how to start, so he had to tell the truth. "My grandfather was not an apprentice of the dwarves at all. He was a deserter."

"Many years ago, in a conflict between humans and elves, he pretended to be dead and escaped. The body of the original owner of this armor fell beside him."

"He was scared and dared not go out again. He began to study the forging process of this armor and gained some experience. My father and I also learned the craft from him!"

"Hmph, you are sensible..." Ivy's tone softened a little, which made the blacksmith relieved.

"Since you told the truth, I won't hold you responsible," the half-elf said as if she was a pure-blooded noble elf from the empire, "but I will take this breastplate away. Do you have any objection?"

"No, no." The blacksmith cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on the surface.

This was not his family's thing. If there was a real fight, even if it went to the mayor, he would have to give in to the other party. And if it really gets out of hand, the reputation of his family for three generations will be ruined in his hands.

An apprentice of the dwarf master craftsman turned into a deserter on the battlefield? Don't be kidding!

"Very good," Ivy nodded with satisfaction, "Go, find me another robe and a long sword - what about you, do you want anything?"

"I don't have it." Ron waved his hand, these iron things were useless to him.

"I want this!" Driver was not polite, pointing to a chainmail shirt hanging high up, which was obviously prepared for small bodies.

Knowing that the customer was short, he hung it high, so the blacksmith had to bring something.

"Can you wear it?" Ivy raised her eyebrows, could this guy not be a wanderer?

"Okay, okay, you, take that down too! How much is it in total?"

"Don't worry, we won't bully you, just quote the normal price. 'Normal price'?"

"Chenghui... twenty, no no no, fifteen gold coins!" When the blacksmith said this number, his heart was bleeding.

The chainmail shirt alone is more than this price, at least twenty-five gold coins!

Add the sword, the robe, and the breastplate! Even if you round off, it will cost two hundred and fifty gold coins. If you sell the breastplate as an antique, the price will double easily!

He lost a lot! Why did he have the bad luck to put this thing there in the first place?

He regretted it, but Ivy was happy. She even took Ron and Driver out to the tailor shop next door to change into new clothes, and then put on the breastplate.

Ron changed into a black cloth robe and watched Ivy coldly put on the dark green robe made of silk with golden embroidery on the cuffs and hem.

The half-elf seemed to shake the robe casually, and the emblem on the shoulder was "just right".

Sure enough. Ron confirmed that the half-elf girl was not a loyal supporter of the Hailan Empire. She just liked this breastplate, but she had no money.

So she blackmailed the blacksmith to buy it for zero yuan.

When the few people came out of the blacksmith, they had completely changed their appearance. Ivy tied her light golden hair behind her head, wore armor, and had a long sword on her waist, looking heroic; Driver was covered with a dark gray linen cloak, the hood covered his face, and a set of chain mail shirt was lined inside. The weathered short bow and quiver were carried on his back, and with his slightly hunched figure, he could be seen at a glance as a seasoned adventurer who walked in the shadows and the wild for many years.

As for Ron?

Although he looked ordinary and dressed in plain clothes, the two left and right guards surrounded Ron, with him as the leader. Could they be ordinary people?

"Fortunately, the boss was born and raised here and has no knowledge," Ivy laughed. She was very satisfied with today's "deal". "He is too out of touch with the news!"

"What do you mean?" Ron asked. Although he could see that Ivy was cheating from her performance, he didn't know where the cheating was.

But he was very interested in listening to the story.

"Of course it's the part about the Hailan Empire. Don't you know?" Ivy blinked, "The Hailan Empire has been dead for almost a hundred years!"

"As a slave dynasty, the Hailan Empire had no bottom line. Humans, dwarves and even elves were all enslaved by them, which made it make countless enemies. It disappeared in a few hundred years and became the shortest-lived regime in the history of the elves on this continent."

"The boss' grandfather probably participated in the siege against a group of Hailan remnants who attempted to restore the throne. Whether it was the resistance against the Hailan Empire or the siege against the remnants, my mother had participated as a longbowman. I grew up listening to these stories, so I am also familiar with their emblems."

"So, you actually helped him by doing this?"

It sounds like the Hailan Empire is almost like a rat crossing the street.

"Of course, remember those elves next door? If they see this, they will definitely make a big fuss!"

"Hehe, [Human spirit elves attempt to restore the notorious Hailan Empire], this will definitely make the headlines in Rose City."

"Hailan Empire, does anyone still remember this name?"

As Ron and Ivy were chatting casually, a stranger who had just passed by them suddenly took a few steps back and looked at them with a pair of passionate black eyes.

His canine teeth were very sharp, and his eyeballs had no visible irises or pupils.

If I remember correctly, Ron seemed to have seen this person at the entrance of the town yesterday afternoon——
