Yixuan went with his uncle, leaving Lin Yun alone, but he was happy to be idle and had some time to think about his own affairs. There is no way to deal with Lingzhu for the time being, he has visited all the famous merchants in Qingxu City in the past two days, and only found one that is more common, and the other one I heard that there will be at the auction, but Yixuan is making trouble, and he definitely has no time to participate. Since he was going to travel, he went to a time-honored trading house, wrote down the six spirit beads he needed, and gave a small amount of silver taels as a deposit, but the shopkeeper said that it was unlikely that he would make up for these.

Out of the trading house, he went straight to the best weapons shop. At this time, the people were still martial, except for a small number of cultivators, martial arts were very popular, so there were many ironware shops in the city. Ever since he got his father's Black Crystal Sword, he has always wanted a scabbard, and along the way, he will look for it whenever he passes through big towns, but he has not found a suitable one so far.

It didn't take long for Lin Yun to reach his destination. It's not the busiest riverside shop, it's a little far away, like many of the city's humble alleys. The road is narrow, but clean, and it is not even possible to pass through horse-drawn carriages here, only on foot. There are only six shops in the alley with their doors open, there are no men to solicit business, and it is not very lively, and some of the wine is not afraid of the deep taste of the alley. This place is not difficult to inquire about, he once inquired about it from the trading house. He thought that this was a deception to outsiders, but he didn't expect that after several inquiries, most of the people in the city knew about this place.

Gu's weapon shop, one of the six shops in Liuren Lane, the signboard of Yinnanmu, with a simple atmosphere, quietly tells the guests that this is a shop with a long heritage. Lin Yun crossed the threshold, and a faint fragrance came, not incense, but a faint fragrance from the ancient wood. There were only two people in the shop, and there was a settler at the counter, looking at the account book, occasionally hitting the abacus twice, and Lin Yun didn't look up when he came in. In addition, there was only one old man, dressed in a Confucian shirt, who was fiddling with the goods on the shelves, and when he saw the guests, he was not in a hurry, put a jade unicorn in his hand back on the shelf, and greeted him.

"I don't know what the guest officer needs."

"I need a scabbard." Lin Yun got straight to the point.

"Generally, the scabbard is sold with the sword, if it is to be configured separately, it needs to be booked in advance, make a request, and pick up the goods at an agreed time according to the materials and labor."

Lin Yun was not surprised, and he also answered the same way in several blacksmith shops, but he didn't have time to stay and wait, and he didn't want to settle, so he wasn't in a hurry on weekdays, but this time the incident happened suddenly, and it was much more convenient to have a scabbard, so he came to try his luck.

"I'm going to go out in the next two days, and I don't have time to order."

"If that's the case, we still have some stock, can you borrow a sword?"

Lin Yun handed over the sword, and the shopkeeper sank as soon as he got it in his hand, and he looked slightly surprised, but it was only a moment before he regained his grasp and watched it carefully.

Lin Yun was a little surprised, he had a sword all year round, but he forgot that this black crystal sword was much more sinking than an ordinary iron sword, seeing that the shopkeeper was a little hasty at the beginning, but now it seems to be no different from usual, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult, so it can be seen that the arm strength is not small. Unexpectedly, one of the shopkeepers in this small alley was also a master, and the strength of the business house must not be low, so he suddenly had some hope.

"The guest officer's sword is made of special material, the weight is nearly twice as heavy as that of 100 steel, the forging process is exquisite, and the hilt and the sword body are integrated. The quality of the scabbard worthy of this sword must not be low, and there will be no more than three scabbards in my library that can meet the requirements, but I don't know if the size is compatible. Wait a minute, I will come. As he spoke, he handed the sword back to Lin Yun.

Hearing this, Lin Yun felt that there was a play, so he waited patiently.

After a while, the shopkeeper returned, holding three scabbards in his hands. The shopkeeper tried them one by one, and one of them was obviously smaller in size, so he put it away, and finally left two of them.

"Guest officer, these two are more suitable. This one was forged by ourselves, and someone paid a deposit but didn't come to pick it up. The materials are exquisite, the inside is a hundred refining steel, the outer lining is made of horned rhinoceros neck skin, soft but hard, forged by the master of our firm, the quality can be guaranteed, just a little larger, we can process a little at the hilt of the sword, it does not take much time, it will not affect the use too much. ”

Lin Yun took it and looked at it, tried it a few times with the Black Crystal Sword, and felt pretty good, and then listened to the shopkeeper's introduction.

"In addition, this one, after our identification, should be an antiquity, we just received the goods a few days ago. It's made entirely of a kind of animal skin, and we can't tell the exact material. In terms of characteristics, it is heavier than the average scabbard, the waterproof performance is good, it will not rust, and of course, the fire resistance is definitely worse than that of iron. There are two main characteristics, first, robustness. The shopkeeper said as he took a sword from the shelf, slashed it the scabbard, and then showed it to Lin Yun. There was no trace on the scabbard, Lin Yun touched it with his hand, and it was true.

"The general sword can't be cut, as for which is stronger than the iron, we are afraid of hurting the goods, and we didn't try much, in my estimation, it should be slightly worse than the hundred steel, but better than the general leather. And, obviously, it has resisted the erosion of time and should be more durable. ”

"Second, there is something special about the cortex inside the scabbard, with a very fine hairy hair, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Its function is that when the sword is drawn, there will be no sound like an iron scabbard, and there is no friction sound of beasts, the sound is very small, if the sword is drawn slowly, even in a silent state, if you don't pay special attention, it is difficult to hear the sound. This is extremely important in some cases, and it is also the greatest feature of this scabbard. Also, the main thing is that this scabbard is basically the right size for your Sombra sword, and if it were me, I would choose this one. The shopkeeper gave his own advice, and then handed over the two scabbards to Lin Yun and let him choose for himself.

Lin Yun tried it, and it was as the shopkeeper said, there was no deviation. He felt that this shop was very different from others, because what this shopkeeper said was very true, without exaggerating his goods in the slightest, and the good and bad were extremely clear, which gave Lin Yun a huge favor.

"I want this scabbard, I don't know how much the shopkeeper is worth?" Lin Yun finally chose the one with the right size.

"Ten taels of gold."

"Okay." This price was enough to buy dozens of good swords, but Lin Yun did not hesitate, but felt that the price was extremely fair.

"There's one more thing to trouble the shopkeeper. I wonder if I can add a lock or ring to the scabbard to hang a shield. As he spoke, Lin Yun handed over the black shield again.

The shopkeeper looked at it for a moment and then said, "This is not difficult, please hand over the sword and shield to me for the time being, and our craftsman will do it immediately, an hour is enough." Are there any special requirements for materials or functions? ”

"The material is sturdy and durable, it doesn't need special features, it just needs to be easy to install and access."

"In this case, the price will not be increased, and it can be regarded as a good relationship with the guest."

"Thank you."

"It's okay, please wait."
