The Origin of Arcane

This! Ralph hesitated to speak, It's not that there are no other products, it depends on whether Mr. Chebman dares to ask for it.

Any other good things? Chebman cheered up, patted his chest and said, Is there anything I don't dare to ask for? Hurry up and take it out.

This! Ralph pulled out a studded leather armor like magic.

With just one glance, Chebman was fascinated. Although he has been traveling around all these years, although he has been unsatisfactory, the only gain is that he has learned a lot, and he has developed a pair of good eyesight. He can see its extraordinary features at a glance. Not only the fine workmanship and gorgeous appearance, but also its unique structure, a little uncertain: Double-layer structure? Can you take a look?

Mr. Chebman really has good eyesight. It seems that he has found the wrong person this time. Ralph gave a thumbs up and praised him generously.

Of course, there is no reason not to show the goods to the buyer? Mr. Chebman can not only look at it, but also try it. The training ground is ready at the back, with bows, crossbows, knives and swords. You can test it casually, forget it, and prevent fraud. I suggest Mr. Chebman use his own weapons, so as to have a correct estimate of our cargo.

Different from ordinary salespersons, Ralph just threw out the leather armor from the beginning to the end, and didn't say a word of praise for his products. It all depends on the other party's own opinion. There is only one reason for doing this, that is, he has absolute confidence in his products. Confidence.

Sure enough, it's a double-layer structure, no, it's three layers, um, it's not right, there is another layer inside, five layers, it turned out to be a five-layer structure, you actually made a piece of leather armor with a five-layer structure, and it's so dense How much manpower and material resources have you invested in a piece of leather armor? How much is your labor force? It’s too crazy! Don’t blame me for my ugly words. If the price is too outrageous, I have no choice, this is a piece of leather armor after all, no matter how powerful it is, can it still be stronger than iron armor?

Seeing the end, Chebman's eyes were straightened, and he kept muttering the word insane.

As the armor with the largest number on the Arshan Continent, leather armor relies on its simple workmanship and cheapness. Most people make it themselves, regardless of whether it is rabbit skin, wolf skin, sheep skin, or cow skin. Together it is a piece of leather armor.

Of course, this kind of gadget with rough workmanship and low defensive power is at best for personal use and cannot be turned into a commodity. If it is sold to merchants, the selling price will not catch up with the price of the materials used.

Although the workmanship of military leather armor is better, it is limited. There are not even studded leather armors. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the improvement of defense power is relatively limited. If the cost is too high, the meaning of leather armor will be lost, and the defense power will be replaced directly. The more powerful Zha Jia got it.

Therefore, most of the current leather armors are sewn from large sections of raw materials. At most, they use more exquisite materials, exquisite styles, and exquisite workmanship.

It's not that smart people have thought of leather armor with a double-layer structure, or even a multi-layer structure. It's just that making only one piece of leather armor costs far more manpower and material resources than scale armor. Comparable, but the defense is not satisfactory, coupled with the degree of bloat, it is doomed to be inapplicable.

Chebman weighed it. This five-layer leather armor is indeed heavier than ordinary leather armor, but it is relatively limited. It is not even double the weight, which is half of the armor, because his five layers are not All made of leather.

There are only two layers of real leather, or even less than two layers. The outermost layer is a layer of textile fabric that is not hemp or silk, which is very sparse. It is not so much textile as the stitches sewn on the leather. Appropriate, there is another layer of this kind of thing inside, the two layers of leather are tightly stitched together, and the innermost layer is this kind of strange textile, multi-layered leather armor, mixed into one.

Originally, Chebman didn't care much about this strange textile, until he took out his pocket dagger to test the armor, and found that these three layers of textile were the core of this leather armor - his sharp dagger, He didn't even cut off the thin thread, which was not much thicker than a hair, and involuntarily increased his strength. It took a full 30% of his strength to cut off this inconspicuous little thing.

The entire leather armor is full of stitches made of these small things, and there are three consecutive layers. How strong must it be for arrows and chopping protection?

What is this? Chebman blurted out, Is this kind of thing for sale?

Business secrets. Ralph still smiled, This is not for sale, we only sell leather armor.

I made a mistake. Chebman also laughed, if he had such a good thing, he would definitely not sell it easily.

Chebman couldn't wait to start the actual combat test. Bows, swords, hammers and halberds... all eighteen weapons were used.

As Chibman predicted, this kind of leather armor has amazing defense against bows, slashing, and assassination. Even a three-twisted hard bow cannot completely penetrate it at close range. In this respect, it is comparable to plate armor. .

However, in the face of heavy weapons such as warhammers and maces, it is a bit stretched. Not to mention it is not as good as plate armor, it is also relatively inferior to barbed armor and scale armor.

Another defect is the fear of fire. It is very normal to have this defect. This is a common problem of leather armor, but its effect in protecting against the cold is enough to offset this.

A good thing is a good thing, that is, the price. Chebman slammed his mouth, and he had already started to evaluate this kind of armor in his heart. It is definitely higher than ordinary leather armor, and even higher than ordinary armor. The performance is in the There it is.

In addition to having a little advantage in blunt weapon defense, Zhajia has already been dumped by eight streets, and its weight is only half of it. Even archers can wear it and walk like flying. Some time ago, the Andis mountain people who made Man Yujun's spies fear. Youshao, you should be wearing this kind of armor.

But if the price is too high, it doesn't make much sense. It's still the same sentence. After all, it's just a piece of leather armor. If the price is about to catch up with the plate armor, they can directly fix themselves a plate armor, and they still need to buy this armor. something?

One hundred Byron silver coins!

How much? Chebman asked with his eyes wide open.

One hundred Byron silver coins, the price is the same! Ralph repeated emphatically.

One hundred Byron silver coins? Are you kidding me? Chebman still looked unbelievable. It wasn't given to the town at a sky-high price, but it was too cheap.

Is a hundred silver coins much?

Many, for ordinary people, it is absolutely astronomical.

A small manor composed of ten farmers, after a year, all the surplus value created is only three thousand silver coins, distributed among individuals, and the annual surplus value of each person is only a few dozen Byron silver coins.

The transaction price of a strong Andean mountain slave has been floating around twenty Byron silver coins.

But when it comes to military supplies, it's really nothing.

A piece of high-quality cowhide is about ten silver coins. In the hands of a skilled cobbler, two pieces of high-quality cowhide armor can be made, and the price will be doubled. The transaction price of each piece will not be lower than fifteen silver coins.

When it comes to chain armor, armor, and scale armor, when it comes to iron, the price soars. A piece of armor that can be used on the table needs at least 120 pure Byron silver coins. For scale armor, the price will increase by 20% to 30%.

The plate armor is even more terrifying, without three or five hundred Byron silver coins, it is impossible to get it off.

In Chebman's mind, the highest estimated price for it was 20% higher than that of chain armor and scale armor. If the price can be lowered at the price of chain armor and scale armor, this deal can be done. After all, the leader of Man Yu's army It is not rich in iron ore.

Most of the armor is either ordered from Twin Islands, or purchased iron ore from the Kingsley family in the Carter Hills area, and forged by themselves. In addition to the cost of the armor itself, there is also a high transportation fee. Iron armor It has been in short supply.

Even the direct descendants of the Feilun family with the strongest military power can't make everyone wear iron armor, let alone a piece of leather armor for the defense of those places. When they were young, apart from being equipped with a long gun with a low-quality iron tip, they didn't even have rotten leather armor, which was really cannon fodder.

Unexpectedly, the price that Ralph blurted out was 20% lower than that of Zhajia. One hundred and fifty silver coins, there will be countless people robbing their scalps.

This is a 50% windfall profit. Even after excluding various costs and various tax burdens, each item can finally bring him a harvest of nearly ten silver coins. This is definitely the worst thing he has ever done in his life. Profitable business.

Chebman felt his head was congested with blood, and he was a little dizzy, but his brain was turning the fastest in his life. The first thought that flashed in his mind was whether the other party was not clear about the prices outside.

Not only the price of honey is quite low, but now even the rare armor that is in demand is so low. If this is the case, can I get more benefits from it?

Chebman coughed lightly, instinctively acting like a businessman, This price...

Ralph, who had been smiling all the time, seemed to have understood Chebman's thoughts, and his face fell instantly, and he said coldly: I have just said that the price of one hundred Byron silver coins is the same, don't think that we set this price It's because we don't know how to do it, but because we do business based on the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity, we have left sufficient profits for you, so that you have more motivation. If you take our good words as weakness and bullying, then I'm sorry, our cooperation It will be terminated, and you are not the only one who buys from me, I believe there are a lot of people who are interested and knowledgeable.

It's heavy! It's heavy! Years of doing business have already worn down that simple boy back then, and when he said it, he made a 180-degree turn, I mean, the price is very expensive. Fair and reasonable, we have been cooperating for half a year, doesn't Mr. Ralph understand me? I am not such a greedy person! Our transaction is definitely based on the principle of mutual benefit.

You are the greediest person I've ever seen. Ralph sneered in his heart, but there is an advantage to cooperating with such a villain. In the face of interests, the other party usually has no bottom line and doesn't care about your skin color and race , as long as it can bring him benefits, he will treat you as a master.

The reverse is also true, such a person usually treats you like a shoe when you are of no use to him.
