Chapter 8: Morningstar (Part Two) Here is the promised second part of the eighth chapter. Sorry for the delay. Forgot to post it. TL: Shova Translations EDs: Intenseinfantry2520 (Fragrant pig is lost in the pleasure of college project deadline) ………………………………….. The business of "Hammer of G.o.d" heated up rapidly, though it was only a month and they have only sold a knight sword, knight halberd and a set of knight heavy armor( which was the full capacity of Feith) it has not only recovered the initial investment cost of 10,000 gold coins, but also earned 3,000 gold coins as profit.………………………. Lazy afternoon sun shined on the quietly flowing river of Perth, the broad river surface was covered with golden color. A team equipped with armor and halberd were leisurely walking along the river, patrolling. They were led by Knight dressed in dark green breastplate, while the rest of the knights were dressed in the brown Farborg knight outfit and the standard cavalry breastplate. Knight dressed in the dark green armor was Kate, that pieces of armor always made him proud, the dark elf knight armor breastplate, was soaked in the blood of the black elves, and with the blessing magic shield, it made the defensive power of the armor very excellent. After Kate arrived at Farborg, knight regimental commander Lord Pennington looked after him, letting him lead a guerilla cavalry knight squad. Normally one squad of Farborg guerilla cavalry has 50 to 60 cavalry soldiers, but with only the status of Platoon Leader, Kate can only lead 20 cavalry soldiers at the most. Ranger cavalry was between the heavy cavalry and light cavalry, usually wearing half body armor. Their choice of a weapon was a heavy halberd, so they were often called halberd cavalry. Ranger Cavalry has been around for 300 years or so in Farborg, parading around the fort, going out in the wild for the survival training for a weak or so. When the patrol team encountered any thieves and bandit or even monsters, a squad of Ranger cavalry was sent first to annihilate it. If the sighting of any enemy brigade was reported to the fort, Ranger cavalry was the one to be sent to scout. But Farborg has not seen war for decades, and now Ranger cavalry has became more of a cavalry officer training. Since arriving to the Farborg, this was the third time for Kate leading the Rangers squad out in the wild for training. The Sun was shining, there were several fishing boats on the River and from them songs seemed to float around. The riverside was the green and had glossy fields; the distant magic demon forest also appeared peaceful and tranquil. Kate was completely relaxed and happy, this was like a vacation, and the only minor defect in otherwise perfect picture was that he never even saw the shadow of any bandits and thieves, everywhere around there was a peaceful and prosperous scene. Kate, who has been out there for five days, did some mental calculation and he waved and cried: "Squad return!" All halberd cavalry Knights made the U- turn and started to walk toward the Farborg fort. Farborg knight regiment had the total of 7000 people, with 2000 cavalry and 4000 infantry, 1000 janitor soldiers. This regiment was after all the second tier, hence the troops leading much more peaceful days, resulted in the battle efficiency of the lord Pennington’s knights, to be average. ……………………………………. Rogge had already adapted the Farborg"s life, that is, to find out the local s.e.x and the pub, which was full of adventurer, mercenaries so there were likely to be quite a few fights. In addition of being n.o.ble, they had the backing of the lord Pennington so they were not afraid that they will offend any one. While in business, some of the good magical products were sold, especially after the Blue Crystal armor, was bought by the younger son of a duke in 10,000 gold coins, the fame of "Hammer of G.o.d" quickly began to rise. Rogge saw that the dwarfs were busy; they were forced or lured to make some equipment without the magic inscription for sale. Craftsmanship of the dwarves were highly sought for so when each of the batch of products come out, even without any magic inscription; they are s.n.a.t.c.hed immediately. At this time in the third floor of the "Hammer of G.o.d", Rogge and a small group of adventurers were having a business transaction. This group of adventurers had 9 people, and had the standard adventure team configuration, Warrior, Paladin, Archer, Mage, priest, rogue everything, that is expected to find, that is one or two of each. They had just returned from the magic demon forest adventure, and were here with the harvest in exchange for some of their equipment. ……………………………… Rogge eyes were shining, he was watching the sack full of magical materials, around two catties of silver, some rare metals and precious stones, such as a piece of ore, dark in color with the glint of Venus. Rogge recognized that this ore was a high grade star gold ore. This gold was different from ordinary gold, because it had the power of the stars in the sky a mysterious correspondence, it was extremely rare, and was essential raw materials in manufacturing s.p.a.ce-related magic and equipments. There was also the Nucleus of the Monster beast, fur, although they were quite rare, but not better that those metal. In the troop, the female magician was carrying a fiery red plumage, which caught the attention of Roger, with his spiritual force, Roger found that the feather had a very obscure, but clever fire magic fluctuations. The adventurers settled on one extremely fine (the common features of all hammer of G.o.d products) magic bow, decorated with platinum wire and purple gold wire winding into the bow. What matched with this bow were three pale-green Hama arrows, (TL: they are supposed to be legendary evil-destroying arrows. If you want to know more about them two had pure white silver dragon casted in the arrow whose four wings expanded on to become the arrow’s tail feathers. Seeing that arrow, the eye of the young female archer shined brightly, and even in death was not willing to let it go. The female magician was fascinated by a charm increasing bracelet. With the superb craftsmanship of the dwarf and Feith"s excellent technique, Franco"s taste in arts, as well as Lawrence and Rogge’s deep grasp of the dark side of people, to the will of the people dark side"s thorough a.s.surance, this bracelet was the extremely wonderful workmanship in which magic of the stars was merged into the stone. The entire bracelet was entirely transparent with the tinge of dark blue, and when the bracelet was under the function the stars appeared and disappeared from time to time in the stone. This bracelet was similar to the nighttime sky. Female Magician Eyes became as profound as night. Of course, the simple inlay in the in the art can achieve the same effect of the increase in the magic. While shopping, women no longer make any sense was surely a good saying. Still it was good because although these adventurers had good strengths, but their ability to judge the quality of goods was actually not much. Rogge was sweating like pig, the fat in his body was shivering (it was not know from when that started, Rogge’s fat in all of his body were jittering) he had the pained appearance, after a little bit of killing the prices. Plus two half body armor, four long swords, and 30 armor piercing arrows, the transaction was finally completed. That red feather now becoming Rogge"s spoils of war. In all fairness, Rogge’s selling were fine, worth the price. The place that mainly made money lied in the low price purchasing of the adventurers spoil of war. For example, this time the only piece of star gold ore was the priceless treasure, not far from hundreds of thousands of gold coins can be gained. That sack of silver was worth of 10,000 silver coins and as for the nucleus and the fur of the monster beasts were more than 10,000 gold coins. Moreover, there are other unknown metals and the inexplicable red feather. Intuition told Rogge, the more we do not understand something, it is often more valuable. Rogge finally understood what “A good horse does not eat the gra.s.s behind it” (TL: I think it means Do not dwell on past actions, progress forward) These suckers had great difficulty saying good-bye, there were few people walking into the VIP room, seeing that Lawrence came to welcome them while bowing. Rogge just put on the professional smile, ready to greet. The man who was leading the group took off his robe that was covering his head, the blonde color of the hair jumps out and lit up the room, those smiling eyes shining like the sun after the rain, those light even hurting Rogge’s eyes. He held out his hand and said: “Nice to meet again, I am Offie Roque Von William.”
