Luni slightly bent forward, extending one hand to point towards the staircase not far away. "Dear Sir Knight, please follow me! This way, all sorts of exquisite weapons are stored in the display cases on the first floor," Luni warmly invited.
With a series of creaking sounds, John and Kuiradi stepped onto the somewhat worn wooden stairs, closely following Luni's lead. One step, two steps, they slowly made their way down.
After a short while, the group arrived in a spacious and bright exhibition hall. "Esteemed guest, please take a look! Here we have a variety of armors on display: agile chainmail, incredibly sturdy Plate Armor, half-armor that offers partial protection, arm guards specifically designed to protect the arms, scale armor made from interlinked metal plates, and exquisitely crafted ornate armor among many other options," Luni introduced while pointing at the neatly arranged suits of armor.
Once he finished introducing the armors, he turned his gaze to another side and continued, "As for weapons, they are even more dazzling! Whether it’s sharp longswords, battle axes, maces, Long-handled Warhammers, and so forth—everything you could possibly need is here to satisfy different customers' requirements. Of course, which one suits you best depends on your personal preferences and actual usage."
After saying this, Luni quietly stood aside without further words, seemingly waiting for John to make a decision.
At this moment, John was already captivated by the array of exhibits before him. His eyes were fixated on the armors that glimmered with a cold light, and he couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Especially when he saw the dazzling reflections bouncing off the exquisite armor pieces, he felt an irresistible itch in his heart.
Unable to resist any longer, he stepped forward and gently ran his fingers over the surface of the armors, feeling their unique textures. Compared to what he was currently wearing, it was like night and day!
It should be noted that the so-called Ironclad he wore now was merely the equipment issued to him while serving as a guard in White Town. Although it was nominally called Ironclad, its protective coverage was quite limited; more accurately speaking, it was just a crude piece of armor hastily stitched together from some iron plates and leather.
Looking over at the weapon rack against the wall, which displayed an array of various weapons, John casually drew out one of the longswords. The blade was forged from fine steel and intricately engraved with delicate patterns that resembled a beautiful piece of art. The hilt was wrapped in high-quality cowhide—neither too hard nor too soft—making it feel just right in his hand and providing an incredibly comfortable grip.
John slowly walked around the room to get a general understanding of the various equipment on display. Afterward, he approached Luni at a leisurely pace and pointed at the Plate Armor placed prominently in the center.
He couldn't help but be drawn to it; this Plate Armor seemed like a symbol of safety itself. "May I ask how much this Plate Armor costs?" John asked eagerly.
Luni smiled as she replied, "Sir, you are inquiring about our most expensive Plate Armor! It weighs kilograms and is typically only manageable by those who have reached the Half-Step Transcendent realm. The price for this Plate Armor is quite steep—it costs a full gold coins."
Luni did not make up a price arbitrarily; high-quality armor like this always came with a hefty price tag. As such, many wandering knights from noble families often had to settle for ordinary Ironclads when venturing out into the world to seek survival and development.
In reality, the White Family was already quite wealthy. The Ironclad they provided John was considered top-notch among many nobles; in contrast, some noble families' guards couldn’t even afford Leather Armor.
Despite knowing that this Plate Armor was expensive, John still couldn’t help but reach out once more to touch the cold and solid armor. After pondering for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to purchase it.
After all, for him, the Plate Armor was simply too enticing, making it impossible for him to resist the desire to possess it.
