After dealing with Reaper's scythe, Kain now plans to deal with Reaper's "skin" to see if this thing can bring him anything.
Kain went to a shop that made costumes, including combat outfits. The owner of this shop is also a knowledgeable person, he clearly knows what a Reaper that can completely shed its skin is.
So he immediately withdrew his contempt when he saw Kain's rustic appearance.
"What do you want me to do with this?"
"Can it be turned into a combat outfit?"
"... Let's see… maybe. However, the price will be a bit expensive, you know, this thing needs a lot of processing."
The shop owner was a bit surprised, because Kain didn't look like a rich man. His words were actually politely advising Kain.
Kain also knew, but he didn't care. After all, he was still wearing the same old clothes from the time he left the village until now. It's strange that others don't look at him like a beggar.
Unlike ironsmithing, making clothes did not require Kain to wait until the next day. So Kain just sat and waited in the shop.
A long time later, a new set of robes was placed in front of Kain. The color of the Reaper skin remained the same, but the excess Reaper skin was removed.
Kain put on his cloak, feeling quite comfortable thanks to a layer of fabric sewn by the shop owner underneath the coat.
Kain exclaimed, he doesn't like wearing armor, because armor can hinder his movement and speed. Even though the effect wasn't very big, Kain still didn't like it.
However, fighting also requires corresponding protection, and this cloak can compensate for Kain's lack of defense.
"If you don't mind, could I make a suggestion?"
The shop owner spoke up. Kain said nothing, indicating that the shop owner could speak.
"If you take this cloak into battle, you should use a few more metal pieces. Don't worry, this won't affect the overall appearance of this thing."
"Can I have a look first?"
Kain asked, the shop owner agreed, taking out a piece of steel.
Unlike a regular flat piece of steel, it is designed like inclined surfaces stacked on top of each other. The purpose is to minimize damage, causing the enemy's weapon to deflect when attacking the steel piece.
This is referenced from the protective scales, so its feasibility has long been verified.
Kain also became quite interested.
"Then I want to increase the protective steel layer on the arm and back of the hand, is that possible?"
"Please wait a moment."
Thirty minutes later, a total of four steel pieces were fixed to the cloak, separately on the two arms and the backs of the hands. Kain found that quite good, it was like he had an extra mini-size shield himself.
"The total amount you need to pay is 50 cents."
After paying, Kain walked out of the store with a new coat. The dark coat immediately made his "visual value" increase a lot. At least he no longer looked like a country guy who had wandered into the city.
Kain walked on the street, looking for a place to rest as he walked. Suddenly, Kain saw two people sitting with their backs against the stone wall on the side of the road.
It was a beggar mother and child, the little one was only about two to three years old, and the woman's face was full of dirt and wrinkles. She looked at Kain, her dark eyes seemed to flash a ray of light. hope.
"Will we be given money?"
Perhaps this beggar woman is thinking so.
Kain didn't say a word, just put three cents into the bowl in front of the beggar and his mother. This amount of money is neither much nor little. Enough for these two to have a few full meals, enough so that no one else would get greedy and rob them of their money.
"Sorry, I can only do this much."
Kain remained silent from beginning to end. After giving the money, he turned and left. He didn't even notice that the woman had lowered her face to the ground.
After that, Kain found an inn to stay temporarily for one night. Tomorrow morning he will go to the Adventure Guild headquarters to meet Myra as scheduled.
Because Whesling City welcomes many travelers from outside, the service here also develops very strongly.
For just one cent, Kain was able to enjoy a soft bed with cotton lining, along with a dinner delivered to his room. Dinner wasn't anything too luxurious, but it was very filling.
Two large loaves of bread, a cup of cow's milk and salted mashed potatoes, this meal made someone like Kain who could only supplement starch with dry food feel very appetizing. Even though there was no meat, he still felt very satisfied.
After finishing eating, Kain looked at the sky outside and decided to lie down on the bed to sleep.
Sleeping in the wild is just something for Kain to maintain his sanity after waking up. And sleeping comfortably on a soft bed is truly sleep.
When Kain closed his eyes, his consciousness began to sink gradually, sinking into sleep. In the end, the whole room was filled with only the sound of Kain's even breathing.
He seemed lost in a dream.
It was a truly strange, indescribable scene.
The sky is burning, the ground is also turning into ashes. It's like… this world is destroying.
Kain couldn't even perceive clearly, he could only vaguely hear a voice.
After a good night's sleep, Kain stood up from bed, warming up his body to start a new day.
Breakfast was brought, hot milk and bread, just enough to keep the person awake all day long.
That strange dream had become such a fragmented memory that Kain didn't even realize it existed.
His goals today only have two, first is to meet Myra, second is to see what his new dagger is like.
