Chapter 641: 220. Transylvania Handicrafts Upgrading Plan! (Fog) _1
While Happy Stick and Broken Sword Master were haggling, in another tent within the forward camp, three tailoring artisans who had escaped from Cardman City were undergoing an "assessment".
However, it wasn’t Professor Malcolm, who currently oversaw all the camp production plans, but the deputy of Governor Milian who was standing by. His assistant was holding a notebook, recording everything that was happening.
"Lady Shui", a new player with the "Master Tailor" speciality, sat in a chair, carefully inspecting three pieces of leather that had been initially tanned.
She examined them very carefully, occasionally using tailoring tools at her side to test the toughness of the leather. The three tailors facing her were anxious, just like students facing an exam.
The inspection didn’t last long. After a few minutes, Lady Shui raised her head, smiled, brushed her hair aside and said:
"You’ve done well; it seems you’ve all mastered the new technique I taught. We can move on to the next step now."
Upon hearing this praise, the three tailors instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Their ages were not young, they have been tailors in Cardman City for many years, and they should carry the pride of being artisans. However, right now in front of Lady Shui, they couldn’t maintain their usual composure.
This woman is a true master tailor. On her first day at Crimson Castle, she used her profound expertise to deem their proudest creations worthless.
Not only that, Lady Shui personally demonstrated to them how to make higher quality clothes from the same materials.
The competition between artisans is always straightforward because craftsmanship and work do not tell lies.
The grey suit-style work uniform worn by Professor Malcolm standing next to them was made by Lady Shui, whose craftsmanship and design style were praised by the well-traveled and experienced professor.
Since their craftsmanship was inferior to hers, learning from her wasn’t something to be ashamed of.
Especially in the rugged region of Transylvania, if you are inferior, you must acknowledge it, stand tall if you get hit; otherwise, you’ll be harshly hammered by reality.
"Today, let’s learn about the improvement and production of half-body armors."
Lady Shui picked up the leather beside her and took out the previously drawn pattern, then gave a shout to the three professional tailors, and proceeded to explain the method of making this "improved type".
This was not her original leathercraft. As a designer and tailor, she easily found the way to make this kind of classic leather armor in a different world, made minor adjustments, and introduced it to the NPCs in the game.
Lady Shui was teaching them the "Molek" leathercraft technique, originally from the modern Middle East. Although the origins are ancient, it’s the culmination of countless iterations by artisans. The end results in terms of aesthetics and practicality are several levels above the craft techniques prevalent in the Transylvania region.
This world has only 1111 years of history from the era before, barely comparable to the several thousand years in the player’s world.
Indeed, not only in leather making and tailoring, Broken Sword Master and Hundred Forging Big Horse’s success in the camp, and their many apprentices, were also due to this kind of historical and technique accumulation.
Just the wide variety of smithing techniques and the use of special ways to remove impurities during the forging process can be deemed "secret techniques". They have won the deep admiration from blacksmiths in the camp. There are crafts in this continent that can compare to these "different world techniques", but they are often held in the hands of special groups.
For example, the forging skills of the dwarfs surpass the entire continent, and the quality and craftsmanship of their products are in no way inferior to techniques from another world.
Similarly, the elven leather craftsmen also possess a powerful secret technique for making leather. However, the problem is that these groups with special techniques are not willing to easily share their techniques.
Just like Lead Dove once complained while learning alchemy, this world with a medieval background is still in a state of "technology lock" and "owning the broom". There’s no channel for academic exchange.
The NPCs in the eyes of the players are rare to meet masters who are willing to pass their arts on. Just like the three tailors in front of them, when listening to Lady Shui’s explanation, they were extremely focused, noting down all the key points.
The explanation and teaching didn’t last long. Lady Shui’s "course" was divided into six lessons. On one hand, she was a combat profession player with teammates waiting for her to go out and play.
On the other hand, Lady Shui, who is already a master in the industry, knew very clearly that teaching too much at once isn’t conducive to learning. After she finished speaking, she answered a few questions raised by her "students" and announced the end of today’s teaching.
As she stood up and stretched her exaggerated body, Professor Malcolm stepped forward in time, speaking in a gentle voice to Lady Shui:
"Thank you for your help with the camp’s artisans, Master Shui. Here is your teaching allowance."
His assistant handed over a small money bag.
Lady Shui didn’t refuse, accepting it with a smile.
While other players were still working hard to earn money from quests, Lady Shui had already started taking advantage of the NPCs. Governor Miriam had previously invited her to teach the tailors, and had agreed to grant her 50 gold coins per lesson. This was being driven as a production task, and Lady Shui naturally saw it as her deserved reward.
