Chương 122: Chapter 52 Giovanni's Request_2

These ten steel spikes left Giovanni's blacksmith friend utterly astonished, admitting that he didn't possess such skill, and even if he exerted great effort to make them, each steel spike would cost more than a silver coin.

According to Giovanni, "The materials aren't expensive, but the craftsman's dedication far exceeds the value of the material itself. The value of craftsmanship is severely undervalued, which is why so few would expend so much effort on a base metal. These little items are like engraving patterns into iron."

It was only then that Winters began to understand why Major Moritz used silver coins as casting materials—that the cost to produce these specialized steel spikes was even higher than that of a silver coin.

It would be better off just using silver coins as arrows, since the coins from the Vineta Mint are uniformly minted and readily available materials of equal weight and similar shape.
