After walking two blocks through the alley, the weapons and armors placed on the street were suddenly replaced by various daily necessities. Even though Mo Bei found them specially, he felt that this change was a bit abrupt.
A young man who was immersed in looking at the equipment walked over unknowingly and picked up an oblate object and said in surprise: "What kind of shield is this!?"
The stall owner seemed to have seen too many people like this who didn't react. He was still weaving rattan baskets in his hands and said with a smile without raising his head:
"This kind of shield is called a dustpan."
This neighborhood is more lively than the one selling repair equipment. Even as evening approaches, trucks transporting various materials and finished products are still coming and going.
Mo Bei saw that trucks carrying fragile goods such as pots and jars were covered with a thick layer of dry palm leaves to prevent them from hitting each other or being directly shattered. Even so, the coachman was cautious when driving.
After walking for a while, he finally saw some things like shafts or wheels placed outside several workshops connected by awnings.
"Excuse me, is your person in charge here?" Mo Bei asked several craftsmen who were collecting tools and materials. It seemed that they were about to finish work.
"Hello, my name is Aguirre, how can I help you?" A capable middle-aged man patted the sawdust on his body and came out.
"Oh, something's taking you a little time. Take a look at this thing."
Mo Bei took out two springs that he asked Farah to help roll, stood on a table, picked up a small piece of wood from the ground and pressed it on top.
The middle-aged man named Aguirre looked at Mo Bei's actions with confusion. It was not until the wooden board was slowly pressed down and then slowly rebounded that his expression became thoughtful.
"What do you think about adding a few of these things between the axle and the body?" Mo Bei gave a little more guidance.
"Hiss..." Aguirre frowned, took a breath, stretched out his hand to press the wooden board, then picked up a spring and looked at it, and found that it was just ordinary metal.
"Good stuff!"
After all, he was a professional craftsman, so he understood immediately.
"This is called a spring, and I hope it can be promoted."
Mo Bei had this idea. In addition to the uncomfortable ride in the car before, the main reason was that when he was traveling with the caravan, he saw that the coachmen often repaired and reinforced the large vehicles.
Continuous shaking and trembling cause obvious damage to a carriage full of goods, and it is also a disaster for some goods.
If shock absorption is added to the vehicle, the balance and stability will definitely be significantly improved.
If this simple thing is popularized, it may really help mankind.
"It's definitely possible! I'll go to the blacksmith shop to order some springs like this!"
"A pillar is also added in the middle to increase stability. If the spring breaks, it can also provide some support and reduce the probability of rollover. Therefore, the material of the spring also has certain requirements."
Mo Bei took out a pen and paper again, drew a rough pattern, and explained the concept of metal fatigue to the other party.
"I will definitely build this kind of car with shock absorption as soon as possible! Dear adventurer, thank you!" Aguirre looked very excited. He was already about to close the stall and he couldn't wait to start construction immediately. They have also been trying various methods to provide shock absorption for vehicles, but they have never been able to find a tool that is both effective and durable. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly appeared in front of him now.
"Then I'll come back and have a look in two days. See you later." Mo Bei left the two springs and the drawings, waved and left. This is all he can do, and then he leaves it to these professional craftsmen.
He still wanted to visit the open space where career changers exchanged equipment.
As he walked, he was still thinking about the gems in his mind.
Complete gems were so scarce that most of the team of career changers at their level had a small bag of broken or cracked gems, but the number of complete gems could be counted on one hand.
For example, the long-distance teleportation array between Lu Gaoyin and Rogge's camp requires the use of complete gems, and can only teleport one person at a time.
Just like charging equipment, low-quality gems cannot release enough energy at once to fully activate the magic circle.
The polymerization array currently developed is not very stable. If you are not careful, the equipment will be damaged or the person will be teleported away.
Therefore, unless there was an emergency, even Kane would choose to follow the caravan to Lugoin.
It would be great if there were Horadric Cubes. Not to mention complete gems, even perfect gems could be obtained. At that time, it will not be possible to send it however you want.
Mo Bei felt that the next step was to find this real artifact.
Night gradually enveloped the street as he followed, and the patrolling guards lit fire pots on both sides of the street. Although it was not as burning as during the celebration last night, it was enough to light up the entire street.
Mo Bei looked around unconsciously, and suddenly saw a sign.
"Hot Wind Kiss? This...isn't this Mrs. Valeria's tavern that Zach and the others were talking about?" Driven by curiosity, Mo Bei unknowingly slowed down and looked inside.
The tavern looked quite deserted, and the furnishings looked no different from other taverns. There was no sense of feasting and reveling in the entertainment at all.
This time period should be the busiest time in the tavern. Why does it look like there is not a single customer?
He suddenly saw a familiar figure. The gauze skirt and the moving curves left a deep impression on him.
The other party seemed to be aware of it, and he made eye contact with Mo Bei. After being stunned for a moment, he waved to Mo Bei.
The girl now took off her shawl, revealing a rather attractive face, and the gauze skirt had a large neckline, exposing her shoulders and a large area of skin.
No wonder it is wrapped in gauze outside. If you walk outside like this, it will be too eye-catching.
"Is that you?" Mo Bei asked tentatively.
"My name is Suzana, welcome." The girl smiled politely at Mo Bei.
"Huh??" Mo Bei then noticed that he was standing at the door of the tavern at some point.
This is a bit embarrassing. Should I tell the other party that I just want to say hello?
"What do you want to drink?" Seeing Mo Bei standing still, Suzana asked again.
"Water...thank you..." Mo Beixin said that he just went in to sit, so he went in to find a table and sat down. But in view of the fact that my feet were not working properly, I stopped drinking.
Suzana quickly brought a glass of water, then held the tray with both hands and stood beside Mo Bei with a smile.
Mo Bei felt his palms sweating while holding the water glass. He could only look around and look at the layout of the bar.
"Are you a paladin?" Suzana asked.
"Well, how do you know?"
"Many Paladins were just as nervous as you when they first came here."
"Yes... Really..." Mo Bei tried to make his sitting posture look less stiff.
"How long have you worked here?"
"It's been a while." Suzana continued to smile.
"I used to work as a cleaning servant in a merchant's house. One time the owner of the house brought back a beautiful little statue from Kurast. Several other servants picked it up and admired it while the owner was away, but they stopped passing it around. Shen broke it. Even though I just watched and didn’t touch the statue, half a year’s salary was deducted.”
"It's so unfair, but I really can't explain the situation..." Mo Bei felt sympathy for the other party's experience. Could it be that she came to work here because of this incident?
"What I want to say...sometimes even if you don't touch it, you still have to pay."
"..."
"Here you don't have to squint so tiredly like in the car." Suzana showed a playful smile.
Mo Bei felt embarrassed for a while, it turned out that the other party had been aware of it all along.
Who told that car to be so bumpy? . .
"Why is it so deserted here? Is it because the time hasn't come yet?" He tried to change the subject.
"No, it's just that many girls haven't come recently, and the number of guests has gradually decreased." The curvature of Suzana's mouth became smaller.
"Why?"
"Because most of the residents who disappeared some time ago were people like us. They were very scared and kept hiding at home."
"Missing?" Mo Bei was shocked and connected this information with some pictures in his mind.
