From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 417 - 282: Elf Queen’s Guard General — Fiona_3

The clerk at the leather shop explained, "We sell leather products here, and the best product today is this pair of Kodo-hide boots, made from double-layered Kodo hide for both the soles and the upper. Even in the fiercest battle, they won’t be damaged."

Upon hearing the clerk’s introduction, Lu Heng immediately became interested.

Ever since his running speed had broken the sound barrier, he really had been wearing out shoes.

Even when he covered his feet with Source Energy while running, he couldn’t prevent the shoes from wearing out.

Therefore, Lu Heng had been wanting to find a pair of boots for quite a while, to reduce the hassle of changing shoes every day.

Su Muyu was naturally aware of this as well. She reached out, picked up the pair of Kodo-hide boots, squatted down, and placed them next to Lu Heng’s feet, saying, "Try these on."

Lu Heng did indeed want a pair of boots, so he didn’t stand on ceremony. He slipped his feet into the Kodo-hide boots, and then something magical happened.

The boots seemed to contain some sort of magic; as his feet slid in, the boots began to tighten, fitting perfectly around his feet.

They were neither too loose nor too tight.

Lu Heng could hardly find any faults.

Of course, as comfortable as these Kodo-hide boots were, what mattered more were their attributes.

[Kodo-hide Boots]

[Item Level: B-level]

[Specifications: Shoe length 28 centimeters, shaft height 32 centimeters, weight 1282 grams]

[Attribute: Foot Armor +120]

[Special Effect: Movement Speed +10%]

[Evaluation: These sturdy boots, meticulously sewn from the tough outer hide of a Kodo, show no visible seams, showcasing the craftsman’s superb skill. The soles are fitted with wear-resistant hoof iron, not only enhancing the grip but also ensuring every step is as stable as a mountain. Wearing them, it’s as if you could feel the indomitable Spirit of the Kodo, bringing you endless courage and protection.]

The attributes were excellent, and they even increased the movement speed.

Although the increase in speed wasn’t high, it would synergize with Skill Acceleration, and so the actual performance would be better than expected.

"How do they feel?" Su Muyu squatted on the ground, tugging at the seam of the boot to see if the quality was up to par.

After trying them out, she realized this action was somewhat unnecessary.

There wouldn’t be a quality issue with B-level equipment.

If there were any quality issues, the boots wouldn’t be classified as B-level, and even the attributes panel would show [Damaged].

"Not bad, they automatically tighten once you put them on, surprisingly well-fitting," said Lu Heng, who was actually very pleased with the boots but was worried about whether the price would be just as satisfying.

The clerk explained, "These boots are the work of a high-level Leather Maker, made from the finest Kodo hide available and using our Elf Clan’s unique sewing techniques, ensuring a perfect fit. Unless one is a giant whose feet simply wouldn’t fit."

Su Muyu also thought the boots were great and asked, "How much are these?"

"2500 Crystal Coins," the clerk stated the price.

When Lu Heng heard the price, he felt it was a bit shocking.

Working one day as a Quenching Master in a Quenching Workshop in the Elf Clan would earn you 100 Crystal Coins, which meant these Kodo-hide boots would cost nearly a month’s worth of an Elf Clan Quenching Master’s wages.

Moreover, it wasn’t right to compare this to a Human’s monthly wage.

Because Elf Civilization was very wealthy and the Species led a leisurely life, their work compensation was exceptionally high.

The cost of staying in a hotel in the business district of Kolos City was also precisely 100 Crystal Coins per night.

Meaning, working for a day in the Quenching Workshop would be enough to afford one night’s stay in the business district hotel.

Of course, this was because the business district of the Elf Royal City was the most prosperous commercial center in the world, and it was normal for hotel prices to be high.

In the Outer City, however, the accommodation costs would be much lower, perhaps only a tenth of the Inner City business district.

While Lu Heng was at the Quenching Workshop, he worked efficiently, often completing the tasks of three people by himself.

Thus, during the five days at the Quenching Workshop, he had earned 1500 Crystal Coins, which wasn’t enough to buy the Kodo-hide boots. freёnovelkiss.com

Having been in the Elf Royal City for so many days, Su Muyu knew that haggling didn’t exist among the Elf Clan.

To the Elf Clan, haggling was a rather inelegant affair.

Hence, after confirming the price, she took out her purse and started counting the money.

"Are you really buying these?" whispered Lu Heng, standing close and questioning her decision.

The Kodo-hide boots were indeed very nice, but they were also quite expensive.

Lu Heng had only made 1500 Crystal Coins, which wasn’t enough to afford the boots.

Without hesitation, Su Muyu counted out 2500 Crystal Coins, all in 100 denominations, a total of 25 coins, and placed them on the counter stating, "We’ll take them. Can we wear them straight away, or do we need some sort of receipt?"

"No need, it’s a cash transaction, welcome to come again," the Elf clerk accepted the Crystal Coins and politely saw them off.

In these past few days working in the workshop, Su Muyu had also made a tidy sum, enough to buy the boots.

However, after the purchase, her funds were nearly depleted.

Making money was meant to be spent, and since the boots were indeed very nice, she didn’t hesitate much to buy them.

"Alright, let’s go. Do you want to keep shopping?" Su Muyu tugged at Lu Heng’s hand, happily walking out the door.

Just as they stepped out, they came face to face with Fiona and her Vanguard, Black Field.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu didn’t recognize Fiona, but seeing the Battle Armor on her and her commanding presence, they could tell she held a high status.

Then seeing Black Field respectfully following behind her, they were a bit surprised.

Because Black Field was respectfully trailing behind Fiona, looking every part the subordinate.

Black Field saw Lu Heng and Su Muyu happily shopping on the commercial street, his gaze darkening, he said to Fiona, "General, allowing non-Elf Clan Species to wander around the Royal City, I fear it might cause unnecessary chaos."

As a general in the Elf Queen’s guard, protecting the Queen and the security of Kolos City was her primary duty.

Upon hearing Black Field’s comment, she became alert and signaled the guards to step forward and inquire.

An Elf Guard approached Lu Heng and began questioning, "What are your identities? Why are you moving freely in the city?"

Lu Heng glanced at Fiona, smiling as he answered, "We are Quenching Masters. General Fiona, the second-level Spirit Injection and third-level Armor Piercing on the War Spear you use, I worked on that."

Fiona was very pleased with the recent upgrade to her spear’s Special Effects. Hearing Lu Heng’s words, a look of surprise and pleasure appeared on her face, "So, you are Quenching Masters from the alliance. On behalf of the Elf Queen’s guard, I welcome you."
