After all, this is a world where divine beings exist, so he didn’t let him continue speaking.
"The arm shield, it should be ready by now, right?"
"Of course!" ntioning the equipnt, Barn’s face instantly lit up with excitent. He casually tossed the Forging Hamr he accidentally brought out onto the counter and dashed into the back room.
Not long after, a plain tallic box was carefully cradled out by him with both hands.
"It was completed last week, and I added so materials afterward. The 1000 Gold Coins you deposited with were just enough, and I’ll give you the bill later."
"Hurry and open it, you’ll be absolutely satisfied!"
The usually calm and composed middle-aged man, now faced with the equipnt crafted through his own hard work, about to be handed over to the client, had a look of childlike expectation and pride on his stubbly face.
He seed to be silently anticipating the satisfied expression that the custor would soon show.
Xia Nan took the tal box with both hands, feeling its heavy weight, placed it on the counter, and slowly opened it.
Soon, a pure blackness greeted the eyes.
Compared to the previous [Snake Scale Arm Shield (Temporary)] appearance, the overall structure of the finished product didn’t change much, still maintaining the original arm shield type of equipnt.
But it’s like the difference between a freshly completed "rough house" and a "luxurious renovation" after spending a huge sum.
The once seemingly simple details, after countless communications between Xia Nan and Barn, were thoroughly modified and refined;
All the inconveniences and issues during the usage were intricately addressed and perfectly sorted, eventually transforming into this perfect piece of equipnt, which would definitely be considered top-quality in the realm of professionals:
Mysterious Snake Scales from the Secret Cave were seamlessly embedded at the very center of the arm shield, forming its main body.
Like a flawless piece of Ink Jade Glass, jet black and chilling, icy and smooth, the slightly undulating surface curves reflect a sharp dark gleam.
Beneath the scales lies the reward from Xia Nan’s Beastman task, usually found only in Ancient Battlefield Ruins or deeply Corroded by the Power of the Undead, the "Corpse Erosion Pattern Steel."
This dark gray tal with claw-like complex dim patterns on the surface was forged and refined into a base to embed the snake scales. Extrely thin yet exceptionally tough, slightly curled at the sides, fixed under the razor-sharp edges of the scales, like the hilt of a sword.
On the inner side of the arm shield, close to the arm, is lined with dark brown high-quality leather, specially treated to be soft and wear-resistant; the grooves inside enhance breathability while helping distribute impact force.
The buckle was optimized through Xia Nan’s feedback, allowing the arm shield to be securely fastened to the forearm with just a single pull and clasp, enabling quick donning and doffing.
The cold deadly nature of snakes, the sturdy toughness of steel, and the comfort of leather are perfectly combined.
Neat and concise, it emphasizes practicality while also considering the sharp aesthetic ford by scales and steel in the equipnt itself.
Concentrating attentively, eyes focused, semi-transparent characters erged before him:
