Chapter 174: discerning people
Time passed quickly, two days passed in a blink of an eye.
On the afternoon of the third day, Barney finally finished the harness.
The simple horse armor without any pattern decoration covers the head and upper body of Qinglong. It can not only resist some flowing arrows, but also provide a firm anchor point for the reins, so that the panda can use it easily.
A saddle with a sturdy backrest allows the panda to sit very firmly on the horse's back. There are hooks on both sides of the saddle, and long weapons such as spears can be hung horizontally on it for easy access at any time. The sturdy stirrups allow pandas to let go of the reins when necessary, use the backrest and stirrups to stabilize their body, and use their arms with both hands.
At first glance, such a set of harness might seem unremarkable, but when it is actually used, Panda has to admire Barney's craftsmanship - this set of equipment is so fitting!
When Qinglong was equipped with this harness, both as a mount and as a rider, Panda himself felt very suitable. Sitting in the saddle and holding the reins, Panda even found himself with a temporary passive skill.
[Enhanced riding skills: Relying on the well-crafted harnesses of famous craftsmen, the abilities of both mounts and riders have been enhanced. 】
This skill only appears when riding a horse. For pandas, it is roughly equivalent to raising the level of riding by about 5 levels. For him, this almost means that he has risen from the level of ordinary cavalry to the level that can be called elite. Now he can not only use the unique attack method of cavalry charge, but also the famous attack method of horse archery.
Although pandas can't shoot arrows, so it's a bit of a waste, but at least the attributes increased by the improvement of riding skills are real.
For him, that was enough.
Riding on the Qinglong, which was equipped with harnesses, the panda circled around Mulandana, and both people and horses were very satisfied.
Although this set of harness was slightly more expensive than he originally expected, the panda was not even a little dissatisfied, but praised Barney.
"Your craftsmanship is so good!" he said with a thumbs up to the young leather master, "I've never seen such a well-made harness! It's almost a work of art! No... The word art is not enough to describe it, he is a masterpiece, a masterpiece that can be passed down to future generations!"
Barney blushed a little at what he said, scratched his face a few times, and said, "I didn't expect to do it so well myself. My original plan was to make a mouth pullover, which would be enough for the reins. But During the production process, I suddenly had an inspiration - such a fierce horse will definitely gallop on the battlefield. Even if it has sturdy scales and is not afraid of ordinary attacks, even if it can only be strengthened a little bit, All can help. So I revised the original plan and added batch-mounted horse armor, which is more suitable than the original design!"
Panda nodded again and again, he was completely convinced of the "leather armor master"'s craftsmanship.
After paying the money, he was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said, "I have a friend named Prett who likes armor. He will come to Mulanda in a while, maybe he will come. Visiting you. I think there must be a common language between you!"
Barney was stunned and asked suspiciously, "I have never told anyone about my plan to switch careers as an armorer. How did you know?"
"Huh? Aren't you a leather armor expert?"
"I'm just a cobbler."
"...Then you will definitely become an expert in leather armor!" Panda smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It can be seen from this set of horse armor that a talent like you should be an expert in making leather armor. The craftsman's words are really too talented!"
Barney nodded and his eyes lit up.
After leaving the leather shop and returning to the hotel, Panda found a system prompt.
[With your encouragement, Barney, the leathermaker, decided to switch careers to become an armorer. In the future, if your advice turns out to be correct, you will be praised by people and have a reputation for "seeing people with discerning eyes". 】
Seeing this prompt, Panda smiled.
Although I don't know what the reputation of "wisdom to know people" will be, but to him, isn't this a free gift!
As long as there is no accident, Barney will definitely become an armor master, or the world's number one master in the leather armor industry. Although that will be a long time ago, this benefit can almost be regarded as pre-determined, and it is almost guaranteed.
"No, it's better not to spoil yourself so much. If you make a fuss about a flying dragon riding your face or something, it will be funny..."
Panda muttered to himself, shook his head, put these things aside for the time being, and only sent a message in the group chat to repeat these things.
After receiving his reminder, many of the traversers were all bright, and they all went to look for those characters who were brilliant in the game, but they have not yet made a name for themselves. Some want to form a good relationship like pandas, while others want to draw them over and become companions.
For example, Anthony, posing as Count Tarahan, sent Panda a private chat.
"Help me ask Barney if he is interested in coming to Tara Khan to get a job, and the pay is favorable!" Although he couldn't see the expression, he could see Anthony's eagerness from the words, and he was really thirsty for talent, "If He can really make a difference in the future, and I can make him a real noble! Viscount dare not say, a baron is no problem!"
This condition is really generous, but Panda said - this matter is more suitable for Changsun Wu. First, he and Barney have a common language, and second, they are logically more reasonable.
[Panda: Anthony...I am a wandering orc adventurer, recruiting talents for the lords of humans? How low is your IQ to believe this! 】
When he said that, Anthony also laughed.
So he contacted Changsun Wu, who was on the road day and night, and told about this.
Changsun Wu's answer was very simple, just one word.
"it is good"
He answered so succinctly, but Anthony was worried. After thinking about it for a while, he discussed it with Wu Mian and others again, and pieced together a seemingly seamless explanation, telling him not to show his faults.
In this regard, Changsun Wu's answer is still one word.
"Row"
It's not that he pretended to be deep on purpose, but because he was riding a horse and couldn't spare much energy to chat slowly.
After dealing with this matter, Anthony spoke in the group chat again, asking everyone who went out to help search for talents.
The current Tara Khan is really in urgent need of talents. Although the talents in front of them are enough if they rule according to the traditional way, the travelers who have passed through do not plan to build a traditional feudal earldom. They have done a lot for the Tara Khan. Long-term planning, plans to build here to be prosperous and strong.
To this end, we need a lot of talents in all directions, the more the better, the more you will come!
"Whether you use persuasion, bluff, or bait or lure... Even if you knock people unconscious with a single stick, put them in sacks and carry them back! In short, when you meet suitable talents who may be recruited, If there is a mistake in killing, don't let it go!"
For a period of time after that, Anthony would post this sentence in the group chat for a while, just like a gesture of swiping the screen.
