Chapter 23: Ammunition, Girlfriend
"Is there anything you want to buy today? Or anything you're interested in?"
In the early morning, Sigurd's voice was heard at the door of the white sailboat anchor.
Alka stretched himself and said, "First, we need to buy some bullets, some clothes, and some materials and tools."
“It would be nice to have a more detailed map.”
Hearing Alka's request, Sigurd nodded and shook his head to the side.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
The two walked directly along the cobblestone road towards the city center.
They arrived at the weapon shop that Alka had first visited.
"Go to this store? I think their stuff is more expensive."
"Of course not. This is the official weapons store of the Golden Alliance. Of course it will be more expensive, but it won't be a problem. Let's go to the alley next to it."
As he spoke, Sigurd took Alka and walked more than a hundred meters to the side, turning into a small alley.
There is a shabby-looking shop in the small alley.
There isn't even a sign.
Sigurd walked over and patted the wooden door that seemed like it would break at any time.
"Where's the boss? Where did the boss go? Buy some bullets!"
"Here it comes, why are you rushing me so early in the morning?"
A young man who looked a little sloppy walked over.
His hair was messy and greasy, his face was a little dirty, and he was wearing a leather apron.
The apron was covered in grease and dirt.
After coming over, he wiped his face with his dirty hands, making it even dirtier.
"What kind of bullets do you want?" he said.
Since they had already discussed it on the way, Siegert said directly: "Six boxes of No. 3 pistol ammunition. Do you have ammunition for this gun?"
As he said this, he took out the short-barreled gun he had obtained yesterday from his arms.
The boss looked up and took a look.
"Alando's work? It's actually a pistol-shaped shotgun, how rare.
Isn’t it a replica? "
"Don't ask so many questions, is there any?"
After hearing what Siegert said, the boss shrugged and said, "This kind of bullet is hard to get. It costs 10 copper swallows each."
"So expensive? It's like robbing someone."
"If you think it's too expensive, go buy it at the big store over there."
Seeing the look in Sigurd's eyes, Alka said, "Then give me 20 rounds."
"Then I'll take 10 rounds, too."
Hearing this, the boss smiled.
"No. 3 pistol bullets, 2 bronze swallows per bullet. After removing the decimals, the total is 2 silver snakes and 100 swallows."
“First the money, then the goods.”
Sigt curled his lips and took out three silver snakes from his purse.
The boss took it and weighed it in his hand.
Smiling, he went to the back.
After a while, he came over with two bags.
"Looking for your 100 swallows. There are bullets in it."
Sigurd picked up the purse, weighed it, and put it in his pocket after hearing the rustling sound inside.
Then he picked up the bullet and looked inside. After making sure there was no problem, he took it and left.
"Let's go buy you some clothes now."
After going around in circles, it wasn't until noon that Alka finally bought everything he wanted.
Some clothes, boots and hats, as well as some small tools and materials bought from the tool store.
"Why did you buy so many tools and materials? Are you planning to learn a craft?"
Sigurd couldn't help but ask as he looked at Alka's backpack full of things.
Thinking of this, Alka stopped.
He took out a silver snake from his arms and spread it out in his hand.
"Watch it."
The silver snake fluttered left and right in his hands, as if it was being pulled by an invisible rope.
Then suddenly Alka holds him in his hand.
"Where is he now?"
"Of course it's in your left hand." Sigurd couldn't help but smile.
"No." Alka shook his head, then reached out and patted the outside of his pocket.
“Here it is.”
"How is that possible?" Sigurd smiled and put his hand into his pocket, but his smile froze instantly.
He took out a silver snake from his pocket, with an obvious scratch on the snake's head.
Sigurd's eyes widened: "How did you do that?"
"I am a mage."
"Come on, I've also been to the circus and seen that. It's some kind of magic trick, right?"
"Just know it, I won't tell you."
Then the two continued on their way.
Sigurd couldn't help but think about it: "It's really interesting. When did you become a magician?"
"Genetics."
"Genetic?" Sigurd was a little confused.
"Okay." Alka turned around and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Oh, yeah, I have to go get some medicine, come with me."
As he spoke, Sigt led the way and the two of them walked around a few streets until they arrived at the other side of the beach.
The area where the entire port city is located is a depression.
The ports were on the right side of the recess, and they are now on the left.
Alka looked at the shop in front of him.
【Charming Words】
?
I couldn't help but turn my head and stare at Sigurd next to me.
Good boy, looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, it turns out you like this.
Seeing Alka's look, Sigurd waved his hand quickly.
"Don't get me wrong, this is just a pharmacy. I just don't know why it has such a strange name."
Looking at Alka's narrowed eyes, it was obvious that he didn't believe what he said.
He quickly dragged Alka inside.
"Sigurd? You're here."
A beautiful girl with wheat-colored skin, wearing cool clothes, came over with a smile, hugged Sigurd and leaned her face on his chest.
Seeing this scene, Alka immediately raised his head back.
"Listen to my explanation! It's not what you think! Jenna, please move aside first."
"What's wrong?"
After an explanation.
Alka nodded, it turned out to be Sigurd’s girlfriend.
When did it come into being? Even this information does not exist in my memory.
"Hello, you must be Alka , I often heard Sigurd talk about you. I'm Jenna Dice, you can just call me Jenna."
Jenna generously extended her hand and shook hands with Alka.
After Sigurd bought some herbs, he packed them and stuffed them into Alka's arms.
Then he patted his shoulder solemnly.
He smiled awkwardly and said , "My good brother, you go back first. I'll be there in the evening..."
At this point, Jenna next to him pinched his waist.
He immediately changed his words and said, "Tell Uncle Halls that I will definitely be back before the ship sails tomorrow."
Alka looked at Sigurd in front of him.
“Tsk.”
"Okay, I'll be leaving first then."
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I wish you a good night."
After saying this, he carried a lot of bags, put his backpack and various goods on his back, pushed open the door and walked out.
I only heard his voice coming from the door.
"I hope Aunt Marcy won't have a nice grandchild so soon."
Jenna covered her mouth with a smile when she heard this.
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Siegert, he said, "Your brother is really interesting. You should also try your best!"
Sigurd's face turned even redder.
