角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60)
說起停雲的六骨疊扇,乃是工造司的機巧名物。
天外行商為了防範旅行中的危險,多半會佩戴武器防身。可停雲是個例外——她堅持不用任何不符合自己審美的武器:刀、槍、劍、戟之類大抵過剛過強,到底稱不上軟款優雅;但若用暗器如飛鏢銀針之流,又顯得自己貌似陰狠毒辣,實在有失體面。
思來想去,停雲最終選定了這柄雕琢有加的疊扇。用她本人的話來解釋,那便是:
「談生意的人嘛,以和為貴。隨身攜帶兵器,有傷交誼,不利商祺。」
「我這把扇子就不同啦,平時扇扇風,涼快涼快。遇到不好說話的也給他扇扇風,消消氣。若能坐下來談談那自然好;若不能……」
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
Speaking of Tingyun's six-ribbed reticulated fan, it is a well-known ingenium made by the Artisanship Commission.
Most merchants carry weapons in self-defense while traveling, but Tingyun is an exception — she refuses to equip any weapons that do not conform to her style, such as blades, lances, swords, and halberds, which are strong but ungraceful. And she considers booby-traps like darts and needles to be too toxic and disgraceful.
After thinking over things, Tingyun finally chose this carved reticulated fan. Put into her own words, here's why:
"Business people cherish peace above all else. Carrying a weapon dishonors friendships and makes for bad business."
"My fan is different from a weapon. I can use it to cool myself off as well as cooling off a nasty business client. It's best if we can just have a nice chat, but if things don't go smoothly..."
"...Then I just have to fan them harder, and cool them off until they know I mean business!"
