Chapter 3 The shop

After examining the board of the association Carter then headed to the department store located inside. There were many weapons and equipment shops that he wanted to sell there. In the front of the shop there were signboards with many shopkeepers shouting to the customers. Although the overall atmosphere seems jolly. But for the most part, hunter customers tend to go out to famous shops, such as Guildrodra's Weapon Shop, Bofas Family's Equipment Shop. Branches have not received much attention. Although there are still some customers But when compared to the other two stores mentioned above It's not even comparable.

When Carter tried to look at the quality of the products of the two famous stores through hologram machines located everywhere. He found that the equipment was of good quality and the price was affordable. At least it wasn't expensive enough to tear the bags of novice hunters until they couldn't afford it. which when Carter tried to walk to see other shops through the hologram screen He found that those stores had equipment that wasn't too bad. Many shops also have the same quality of products as the two stores as mentioned above. But the incomparable thing is Their price was much more expensive. At least it's almost twice as expensive.

Maybe because the quality of the products that these people use are expensive. Different from the two stores, as they may receive a discount from the purchase of raw materials from the association. allowing them to sell them at a lower price.

'Even if the product quality is the same… but why would you pay so much? when there are items of equal quality But it's cheaper than selling it.'

When looking at it all together This career competition was decided by the size of the sponsor guild from the start. Because the more you have a big back to support you The more raw materials they are allocated, the more they make profits. It was different from a small shop that was a small guild. Most of which have to buy products from the hunters who may be pushed by them to the price of raw materials until exorbitantly expensive. As for the reason they couldn't buy things through the Hunters Guild. Because the guild probably saw that if selling raw materials to a large guild would be more profitable than a small guild like that.

'Even in this field of occupation, there is also guild politics involved. And let's just say something about our hunter's profession…' Carter, who was fed up with these things, could only let out a sigh of relief. Before he went to find a shop in a stall to buy cheap things to use. Because these stores are not on the list of holograms specified. causing him to have to keep checking them on his own. which is a good thing Because most of the items sold at these stalls are cheap. Because they are made by amateur craftsmen. or it is second hand that hunters or the families of the deceased brought back and sold them in hopes of getting money back. Even just a little is good. It was a stall that anyone could set up and sell just by paying the guild fee a few tens of dollars. It was the best thing the guild had ever done…

'Hmm… a bronze sword?' Carter looked at him for a moment. He finally noticed a sword being sold on a stall lined with an old brown carpet.

"How much is this sword for?" Carter asked, pointing at the reddish-brown long sword to the potential owner of the shop.

"300 dollars," said the store owner in a thick robe. He looked a little haggard. but still raised his head to meet Carter's eyes. and added solemnly

"No bargain…"

"Yes, I will buy… can you give me a sheath?" Carter said, taking out three blue bills and handing them over. A man wearing a shawl takes the money. before taking out the sheath that was in a large leather bag on the back and took that bronze sword into its sheath and handed it to Carter without him asking.

"Thank you." Carter nodded to the other party before reaching out.

"Do you have any recommendations for a cheap protective gear shop?" Carter asked slightly. because he still lacked protective equipment

"Leather Armor, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Fervel (Spirit Metal) or Horakris? (Magic Metal)?" The man did not answer. but asked in a cold voice He looked at Carter as if waiting for an answer.

"Light armor," Carter replied, not irritated by the other person's strange expression.

"Wait a minute…" the man replied. before turning to take things from the same bag The sound of a gang bang, similar to the sound of metal clashing, resounded for a moment. Before long, the man took out a silver robe from his pocket. It was a large robe similar to a magician's robe. Its size was enough to cover his chest and back and all the joints on his body.

At first, Carter was shocked. because he thought that the other party had misunderstood and gave him the leather armor. But when Carter takes a good look He found that the cloak in front of him was surprisingly hard and flexible. Plus when trying to look good The fabric that was made was a material he had never seen before. It could be as durable as steel.

'It's actually a modern armor that isn't very popular right now, the Hochryer hybrid armor! (Alloy)' Carter was stunned when a new type of armor developed in the capital appeared in front of him. He had heard that not many armor craftsmen knew this technique. and may even count the number of people

"All the light armor…just this thing, the price of 1000 dollars, take it or not?" the man coldly asked. It was as if he didn't care whether the other party would buy it or not.

'Very expensive… but reasonable.' At this price, almost the entire set of famous shop protective gear was bought. But because Carter didn't want to go in line to buy from those shops. So he chose to buy the armor in front of him. Moreover, their quality was on the same level. Maybe a little worse But because this armor is a Hochryer type of armor. It was very suitable for a swordsman like him. That's why Carter decided to buy it.

don't hesitate

"Thank you" after paying and taking the dress in a cloth bag. Carter bowed his head to thank the man before walking away.

The hooded man stared at the back of Carter, who had left for a moment. before he shifted his gaze back to the watch on his wrist. with a sigh

"Only one today?" said the cloaked man. before putting all the things on the stall in bags and rose up and carried it before disappearing. in the eyes of the people passing by They didn't even notice… that there used to be a man selling stuff at that stall. shortly before That place would be the figure of a person who appeared from the emptiness to set up a resupply. But this time, that shop turned into a drug stand. with a middle-aged woman sitting which is the same as the previous man No one else had noticed that middle-aged woman appeared. And still didn't bother to look at her stall.

"Hopefully I'll get one today," said the middle-aged woman wearily. while sitting on the pipe and spewing a cloud of smoke in his hand While waiting for a customer she expected to see her come in and shop…
