Poor Noble Nod's Adventure Volume 1 Chapter 5

After completing the heavy earning in the dungeon using armor, Nod sold off the collected magic stones at the purchase place near the entrance side of the labyrinth dungeon.

The amount was the highest in the last two weeks, and the nod's pocket became warmer than usual.

And after quickly reporting the achievement of the request to the Adventurer Guild, he moved to another building.

The place he iw looking for was on the street where the adventurer's guild was located and walked for a while on the cobblestone road in the royal city.

The building had a signboard with a sword and shield crest on it in an easy-to-understand location. Opening the door with the blacksmith guild emblem, there were no desks or chairs in the store instead, the room in the store was narrowly displayed with arms.

In the back of the thick wooden counter installed in the store, a man with a thick muscular body, with the black beard the sitting man was the main store owner.

“Hey, welcome! What do you need?”

Nod tells what he wants to buy in response to the voice of a powerful customer service.

"I need a set of armor.”

“Armor……?”

The shopkeeper looks at Nod as he observes.

The armor used for subjugation once is already given back to big brother Albireo, so Nod is only wearing a cotton pants, a tunic jacket, and a leather vest on top. Other than the swords and leather vests on the waist, the townspeople's everyday clothes are used.

“Are you an adventurer? What is your rank?”

“It's been two weeks since I became a normal plate adventurer”

Hum, the shopkeeper answered and then asked about Nods budget.

In response, when Nod told about his budget, the shopkeeper thought a little,told him to wait, and then goes to the back of the shop.

After a while, the owner came back from the back of the store.

The shop owner puts armor on the doll mannequins in the store and making noises in the process.

As Nod looked around, the wooden doll mannequin was dressed like a warrior.

"Hard leather armor. Made of leather, but hardened with hard material, so it has some defensive performance. Naturally, there is a risk of tearing if slashed with metal knife …"

Then, the store owner interrupted the explanation of the armor and returned his gaze to Nod.

“Aren't you a apprentice knight? Do you have a chain mail?”

How you understand that? Nod didn't tell the owner anything. The reason why the owner understood that it was judged from the center of gravity, the way of walking, and Nods away of using the sword since childhood. The owner is little older than middle-aged, and of course he have seen many customers.

Especially in this capital city, if you are running an armor shop, you should have seen more soldiers and knights than adventurers. From that the owner knows Nods battle style when he entered the store. However, the owner doesn't know about Nods parents since he overlooked that one.

Ferris family doen't has money and Nod is giving up to enter military school, and his father and big brother also didn't use any chain mail, but even though Nod and the owner just meeting today and if he knows about that will be scary.

Well, if you knew that the Ferris family was a big family, the owner might has been able to guess, but Nod came to an armor shop that he wouldn't knows about. In any case, it's not uncommon for a member of n.o.ble family become an adventurer, but it's still rare. And even in that case, if you were born in a knight family, people would normally go to military school.

The only one doesn't get to do that is the illegitimate child. And in the Ferris family, the legal wife, the mistress and the child of the mistress are treated as a family without separation (although this is probably related to the fact that Albireo, the legitimate child, is the heir of Ferris family), Nod is born from the Ferris Head and the legal wife.

There is no reason to explain such circ.u.mstances one by one, its easier by not explain that and then the shopkeeper started explaining about his armor.

"This leather armor is made so you can plate the chest. If a board is prepared, it will be difficult for sword to slash it. However, chain chain mail is pricey, it doesn't has a high defense. Especially the head and torso area. “

There was a s.p.a.ce in the chest and the wooden plate placed that hit by store owner back hand. However, the wooden plate is given priority to ease of movement, or it is not very thick, and it remains uneasy whether it can receives  attack from opponent who can cuts the hard leather.

The shopkeeper keeps talking.

"But it 's a wood plate. So if its too thick, you can't easily mov, and it's broken when it 's. .h.i.t by a striking it. If you put an iron plate instead of wood, the defense will be better. Iron is heavy and will bend  but will resist shock, and above all, can defends againts sword.”

The problem is … The shopkeeper showed a gesture that meant money.

“How much”

When he hears it, its reasonable.  After all, iron is expensive.

Nod thinks unconsciously while rubbing his sword on his waist sword.

This sword should be polished in earnest by himself.

Nod has a sword that is not as sharp as a famous sword, but it was st.u.r.dy  and unquestionably used because it was well made. This sword, still be usable even after he is being promoted to a stone adventurer, if you buy something that is in the same price range when you buy it, it will be a considerable expense so his sword is a bargain.

Therefore, after overuse it for two weeks, it was time to go back to the blacksmith to fix it.

Listening to the fees that Nod spends on polishing, the total budget –savings are almost gone.

 But,

"I got it, so I'll buy that one"

Nod decides without hesitation.

Being alive is the most important thing for adventurers.

Therefore, he thought that if there is a possibility of saving his live by using his money on hand, that option should be chosen.

"Okay, it 's a deal!"

When paying the price, the shopkeeper said in good spirits.

"Oh, yes. Because it 's leather armor, it doesn't take a long time to adjust the armor, but the sword will takes a few days. Will the armor be handed over on the same day as the sword?

“Hmm…”

He was a little worried, but decides to equip it.

Now there is only one sword, but if he goes home, there will be a practice wooden sword. Even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can do as much training as you can to adapt to your body.

Author Note:

By the way, the defensive power is falling sharply compared to the rental products from his brother.

I feel like putting the iron plate in the chest. Since the abdomen must be bent, iron plates cannot be prepared. Instead, let's prepare something.
