Chapter 569 I bought new armor, come to my house
The sky is dark and the city is waking up from its slumber.
Boli runs a butcher shop that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, with a dozen butchers, and an unlearned and crude magician who was wanted elsewhere and hid here.
The butcher shop transports pigs and sheep from outside the city every evening. It starts killing pigs and sheep in the middle of the night. At dawn, the meat is delivered to long-term cooperative restaurants and wealthy families. When the sun rises, housewives Will come to buy meat for my family.
These housewives buy whatever is cheap. The best thing sold in the butcher shop is the mixed minced meat, packed into a bag by kilograms, and placed on the ice cubes made by the rough magician. It's a bargain, just pay and take it away. There's a bag to put it in so you won't be afraid of flies crawling over it.
In the early morning of this day, Poli had just sent away the sausage workshop owner who was buying intestines and minced meat, and his old friend came to buy meat as usual.
Shitou buys 4 packs of minced meat every time, every day, and settles the bill once a month.
Today he said to Poli: "I want two more packages of minced meat."
"I'm very busy today."
He found that there were more pigs and sheep in the slaughterhouse behind. In the old days there were more, and there were cows and deer.
Poli personally brought two bags of minced meat over and said: "There will be a grand banquet at the Grand Duke's house tonight, and meat is of course indispensable."
He then asked: "Did you borrow the money last night? ?”
Shitou replied: “I rescued an adult who was robbed last night, and he rewarded me with 8 ores.”
Poli was quite happy at first. But after finding nothing, he realized that he had not borrowed the money.
“There are still 2 Oles left.” Poli was a little embarrassed, “Today is the deadline for registration.”
He lent 2 ores to Shitou a few days ago, which was all the cash he could withdraw from his personal savings. The family capital could only be touched when it came to life, old age, illness, death and sudden disasters, even if Shitou was pursuing his sister.
Shitou said: "The deadline for registration is this evening. I will go and sign up later."
"I thought about it last night. I must buy new armor, but I can buy swords." Ordinary. "
Polly occasionally goes to the arena to place bets. Some of the butchers go there frequently. During breaks, they often talk about the battles in the arena and the theories of these "talking kings". Knowledge is still available.
The most important thing is to survive during the competition. Even if you hold a wooden stick in your hand, the armor must not be careless.
Poli said: "The armor needs to be better, or else we can buy a warhammer instead of using the sword."
Their butcher shop has a lot of "warhammers", which is just a galvanized steel pipe imported from the Principality of Wesson. Take it to the blacksmith shop, fill the hammer mold with molten iron and insert it, and it will be ready after cooling.
The big gangsters in the city dare not mess with the butcher shops in the city, but there are always stupid young people who are ignorant.
Boli and others are also good at playing Warhammer, so he recommended Stone to use this.
Shitou smiled and shook his head and said, "No, it's more convenient to use a sword."
"I'll just buy a strong heavy sword. Anyway, we don't want to kill people in the competition."
Boli said casually, chatted for a few words and asked him to pay attention to his safety, and then everyone went about their business.
When Shitou returned to his residence, the barley and pea rice in the magic crystal pot had been cooked.
This magic crystal pot imported from the Principality of Wesson is very convenient. There are two knobs on it, one to adjust the temperature, one to control the heating time, and one for 1 ore.
It is an ancient tradition for warriors in the arena to eat barley, which needs to be soaked for a period of time before being cooked.
Shitou soaked the barley and peas last night and fired them before going out to buy meat this morning. When we come back, we will have enough food for the day.
He bought two such pots. It was definitely not love at first sight for the girl selling the pots, but one for cooking rice and one for cooking vegetables.
A large pot of red tomato sauce in another pot has been boiled. Pour all the minced meat into it, stir it, and let it boil for a while. Today's dish is ready.
The bowl Shitou uses looks like a small basin. When mixed with half a pot of rice and half a pot of red tomato meat sauce, it tastes much better than the food in the cafeteria.
After he finished his meal, he took out a bottle of frozen Happy Water from a small refrigerator, twisted the wire, and the cork flew out of the window with a bang, and he drank it in one breath.
This refrigerator, which was also imported from the Principality of Wesson, sold for 3 Ole. Shitou thought it was worth it because when he went to buy it, he asked the name of the salesperson in that store - Adele.
However, he felt that the washing machine in the corner was a loss, because when he bought it, he asked that Adele was Bo Li's biological sister. She used to live in the country with her uncle, but recently came to the city to make a living.
So Shitou has been looking for an opportunity to punish Bo Li, but when his sister came, he didn't even mention it at all. In fact, Poli also wanted to beat him, but he couldn't. What could he do?
Shitou ate and drank enough, washed the dishes and spoons, and the street became lively.
He took all the gold coins, including the 8 ores from Shang last night, the 2 ores from Pori and his own savings of 3 ores, a total of 13 ores, as well as some change, and went to the registration point at the arena not far away. Sign up and pay.
Most of the people who came to sign up at this time were delayed on the road. One came from time to time, so there was no need to queue. The bald staff in charge of the registration was an acquaintance of the arena, so it was done quickly.
The bald head stamped Shitou's name on the competition sign, and at the same time teased him: "I will definitely bet on you to win the championship."
Shitou calmly replied: "Then you bet. Pay attention, if I don’t win the championship, I will give you my washing machine.”
The bald man said again: “You are not famous. The uniform odds for someone like you to win the championship is 1:20, from Baron Pioli of the Golden City has the highest odds of winning the championship, with odds of 1:1.08, while Baron Gresco from the north has a slightly lower odds of 1:1.10.”
At this time, the head coach's voice came from the side: "You bet on the stone, you might as well give me the money, and I will give you a can of golden beans and pig knuckles."
"He is at the top sixteen level at most. , if he can reach the top eight, I will give everyone three cans of golden beans and pork knuckles, and one will be added for each level."
"If he can reach the finals, I will perform a handstand diarrhea in the arena!"< br>
Shitou didn't argue with him, it was in vain, he just pretended that he didn't hear him, turned around and left.
The arena is not far from the commercial center of Milan, and next to it is a place that sells weapons.
Shitou came to a shop selling armor and handed 7 gold coins to the boss.
He ordered a complete set of armor here. The helmet, half armor, skirt armor, arm armor and greaves are all made of the finest elemental steel from the Principality of Wesson. There is also a multi-layer blacksmith's cloth inside. Made of assembled clothing, you are not afraid of walking back and forth on the battlefield.
Shitou asked the boss to pack his things first and went to a weapons store not far away.
According to the plan, he wanted to buy a good sword with 3 ores, which like the armor uses elemental steel from the Principality of Wesson, but now he only has 1 ore, so he can only buy an ordinary stainless steel epee.
After finally moving everything back to the residence, it was already noon and the weather was getting hot.
Shitou drank another bottle of ice-cold happy water, went to a steam bread shop not far away and ate some steam bread for lunch, and then went to a large store in the city center.
This shop specializes in selling magical household equipment imported from the Principality of Wesson. The cheapest is the electric mosquito swatter. The more expensive products are on the second floor. You can only go up if you spend 30 Ore on the first floor.
Shitou really wants to buy a record player so that he can hear Princess Lola's singing at home.
But such a record player costs 20 Ore, and each record costs two silver dinar coins, which is far beyond his affordability, so he can only look at it from the side.
The waiters didn’t chase him away, everyone knew what he was here for.
There was a young and pretty waitress who sold ten electric mosquito swatters and two magic crystal pots. As soon as the customer left, the stone came over immediately.
"Adele," Shitou said to his lover, "I have just completed the registration for the competition."
Adelie had a smile on her face and took it from the cabinet. An electric mosquito swatter pretended to introduce the product and whispered: "That's great, but I haven't had any rest tomorrow and can't watch your game."
Shitou said: "It doesn't matter, tomorrow is just a qualifying match, it's nothing. It looks good."
Then he said seriously: "By the way, I bought the armor. I can't wear it by myself. Come and help me after get off work."
Adele's face turned as red as a ripe cherry. She still didn't understand his little thoughts, so she nodded in agreement.
When the sunset climbed into the sky, Shi Shi took a bath, sprayed some perfume, and waited anxiously in the room.
There was finally a knock on the door.
He immediately rushed over and opened the door, and sure enough, Adele was here.
But... Adele was followed by her brother Pauli, and behind him were three of the strongest butchers in the butcher shop.
Poli said with a dark face: "I heard that you bought armor, so I came to see you."
The butchers behind him suppressed their laughter and winked at the stone. Someone mouthed to the stone: "The boss said he won't pay him if he doesn't come."
