Emross Empire: War And Order

"Hehehe.. It has become a habit. Forgive my impudence, sir. Because you have sold so many items on the first day we become a business partners, then I will not ask payment for this one." Jarwo said, scratching his bald head from behind.

"I'm not your friend." Shiro said with a deadpan expression.

"Not friends, but partners. Hehe..."

"Whatever. Hurry up and say everything you know about the best blacksmith in this kingdom." Shiro finally managed to attach the Peridot Gemstones to his ring, a white tin ring which has a motif of a pair of eagle wings which is the symbol of the kingdom of Mataram.

Slowly he wears that ring on his ring finger, and for a few seconds his body lights up emitting a slightly yellowish green light, a sign of the effect of the gemstone that is already active.

"Okay sir." Jarwo finished counting all the money that would be given to Shiro. As he put the remaining money back into the c.h.e.s.t, he began to tell Shiro about the best blacksmith in the Mataram kingdom.

"If you are looking for the best blacksmith, then the Wetas district is the right place for you to go. There you will find what you are looking for, because this district is a gathering place for hard workers and blacksmiths of course."

"Where is that district located?"

"Southwest, a district bordering the back wall of the capital. If I may suggest.. When you get there, find an old blacksmith named Mbah Dalang, he is a versatile blacksmith who has very skilled hands."

"Mbah Dalang?" said Shiro softly.

"That's right, sir. When you get there later, maybe you will hear bad issues about this old man, but don't worry, I can guarantee his extraordinary ability to forge."

"What bad issues have spread from that old man? Mhmm.. No, nevermind. I don't care who he is and what he has and will do. As long as he can be useful to me, then that's enough." said Shiro, who began to walk toward the armory.

"Then he is the one you are looking for, sir."

"Now we continue our transaction." said Shiro choosing a sword displayed on the shelf.

"Yes, sir! I like this part, transactions always make money that can make me happy." Jarwo said excitedly approaching Shiro.

"I currently have 129 pieces of Gold and 185 pieces of Bronze, if added with the money from the sale earlier, then the total amount is 165 Gold and 4 Bronze."

Jarwo carefully tried to understand Shiro's words, he nodded to affirm Shiro's words.

===============================

{Item Name} : Hunter's Long knife

{Quality} : Poor

{Durability} : 100 points

{Ability} : Increase Attack by 200 points

{Note} : Hunter's Long knife, lightweight and fit-sized, suitable for hunting.

===============================

"With all that money, I want to buy this long knife, a pair of Gauntlet, then 1 light armor that isn't too flashy, and with the rest... Give me HP and MP potions grade C, some food and drinks that can last for few days. " Shiro explained while arranging the long knife he held to be used as the main equipment.

Hearing the order that Shiro had just said, Bang Jarwo immediately grabbed Shiro's shoulders and said, "You are indeed a very special customer!"

"Get off me! Your ugly face is too close!" Shiro jerked with a flat face.

Jarwo take off his hand from Shiro's shoulder and then said. "Don't be like that, sir. Hehehe... I just feel happy to have a great customer like you."

A few moments later Jarwo left Shiro and went to the warehouse to prepare Shiro's order, while Shiro was seen looking at a katana that was neatly stored on the shelf in front of him.

==================================

{Item Name} : Goburinroga

{Quality} : Epic

{Durability} : 600 points

{Abilities} : Increase attack by 20,000 points. Able to detect the presence of goblins in a radius of 100 meters, and will be sharper when moistened with goblin blood.

{Note} : Goburinroga is forged from rare steel ore mixed with Goblin blood that has been deposited for hundreds of years in the Muria mountains. This katana is classified as a magic weapon. Requires level 50 and above to be able to use this weapon.

==================================

Feeling attracted to that katana, Shiro picked it up with the intention of trying that sword, but as soon as he pulled that sword out of its scabbard, the sword suddenly felt very heavy and fell to the floor.

Shiro looked very surprised and wondered what had really happened. The sword suddenly felt heavy, so it fell and made a severe crack on the floor. He could not imagine how heavy the sword really was.

In various ways and with all his strength, he tried to lift the sword repeatedly, but that katana did not move at all from its place. "Damn it! What's wrong with this sword?!" complained Shiro who looked very upset.

Because Jarwo heard a noise from the front, he came out and rushed to Shiro. "What's wrong sir?" Jarwo looks quite surprised to see his merchandise scattered on the floor.

"Don't ask why!!" Shiro jerked with an annoyed expression.

Jarwo turned towards the crack on the floor and then easily picked up the sword.

"What?!" Shiro looked very surprised mixed with annoyance because Jarwo could easily pick up the sword that he was unable to move at all.

"Goburinroga, Goblin-slashing sword that will creak loudly when there is a Goblin at a distance of 100 meters." While sheathing the katana back into its scabbard, Jarwo explained the information about the sword. "This is an extraordinary weapon that belongs to the epic class, one of my best collections. You won't be able to use this katana until you reach level 50, sir."

"Then why are you able to lift it up?" said Shiro who was slightly embarrassed by the stupidity he had just done.

"Because I am a Merchant, sir." Jarwo answered simply.

Although Shiro still did not really understand with Jarwo's explanation, but he did not ask more questions with the intention of preserving his image as a Senshi. "Oh, I see."

"Then I am permitted to go back to prepare your order, sir."

"OK." Shiro said curtly, trying to stay cool.

After quite a long wait, Bang Jarwo finally came out and brought several wooden boxes along with a few plastic packages.

After putting his luggage in front of Shiro, Bang Jarwo approached the cupboard behind Shiro and took a silvery black shirt. "Please try on this shirt, sir." Bang Jarwo said as he handed Shiro an armored suit. "Even though it's not classified as a top-level armor, but it is strong enough to withstand attacks from low level monsters." he added.

Without asking further, Shiro immediately took off his shirt and then put on the armored suit.

"What do you think? Do you like it, sir?"

"It's not too bad... Even though it's made of steel fiber, but this shirt isn't too stiff." Shiro replied as he moved his shoulders.

"That's good, then. This is a list of items that you have ordered, sir. A long knife for 9 Gold, an armor for 100 Gold, a pair of long Gauntlet for 40 Gold, 10 tin rings for 1 Gold, 80 jam sandwiches for 4 Gold, 44 boiled potatoes for 44 Bronze, 10 gallons of water for 5 Silver, and the last.. 95 HP Potions and 6 MP Potions Grade C for 10 Gold and 1 Silver."

"Okay, thanks." said Shiro, wearing his black shirt back, covering the sparkle of the weaving armor and then wearing the iron Gauntlet he had just bought.

"Looks pretty cool." Shiro said softly, looking at himself in the mirror.
