Chapter 017: The Cursed Longbow
The small episode that happened halfway did not affect Grant's mood. He didn't pay attention to the few gangsters he beaten, who told them to conceive bad thoughts themselves.
However, he still had to thank them for their words, and after following their words, he soon arrived at this weapon shop, which had legendary novice weapons. He glanced up and saw that there was a plaque hanging on top of the somewhat dilapidated armory shop - the Kardas Armory Shop. The shops are also decorated with a layer of silver cloth on both sides, which are surrounded by circles.
"I'm finally able to get in." Grant rushed into the store.
…………
Inside the store, there are many silver or dark black weapons on both sides, and the room covering an area of 100 square meters is all full. They are mainly armor and attack weapons, such as broadswords, one-handed greatswords, daggers, short knives, broadswords, and one-handed axes......
The variety of these weapons makes the Kardas shop, which has only been open for a few days, popular with mercenaries, who like the weapons here, and the quality is basically good.
Standing on the counter, a one-eyed man in his forties and fifties was standing there, wearing a simple leather armor, a thin sword at his waist, and black leather boots on his feet made him look like a trained knight, this outfit was particularly conspicuous and handsome, but many mercenaries could not understand why the weapon shop owner wore it like this.
He didn't speak, just stood there silently, just waiting quietly for the mercenaries around him to choose their weapons and prepare to collect the money.
"Your chain mail is very good, this workmanship is quite fine, but it's a pity that the price is expensive."
"Obediently, it costs twenty gold coins, it's really expensive equipment, I dare say that only nobles can afford it, we can only afford it."
"Yes, this chain mail should be the best armor here, I just hope I can get one in the next few years, and then put on the façade."
Several mercenaries are wearing some shabby leather armor, or wearing second-hand trivia armor that they have dug out, and they are judging with envy, they are just ordinary mercenaries, and most of the ordinary coins are spent on wine and women, so the money used to buy equipment in their hands is basically not too much.
At this moment, there was a sudden creak outside the door, as if some customers were about to enter, and they all turned their heads with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, even the owner of the shop, Kardas, also turned his head.
"Whew~~"
Grant felt a cool breeze suddenly blowing his hair out of the air, he tidied it up a little, and when he looked up, he found that a lot of eyes fell on him, this change, he was a little puzzled, but fortunately he quickly got used to it, and looked at the shopkeeper Cardas.
Finding that his dark face and facial features looked like a black race, and almost no hair, the only thing that made him curious was that he was wearing a black eye shield, which had several runes on it, absorbing some free spell elemental energy in mid-air, and they formed a unique mana element array.
At this point, Grant was quite curious.
"Detection."
He threw a detection spell at the one-eyed black.
"Rank: ?? Strength:?? Dexterity: 4, Constitution: "
Finding that the other party's level was missing, Grant's brows furrowed even deeper, he seemed to find that this store had his own story, but thinking that the other party had no communication with him, he still took a deep breath and just bought what he needed, after all, he understood that in the face of the general trend in the future, a shop owner who did not know the level could not affect anything.
"Welcome in." Cardas said to Grant with deep meaning, his hands actually made a small knightly salute, when he saluted, his movements were imperceptible, and the mercenaries on both sides did not notice it at all, but Grant clearly saw that the other party was saluting, his lips moved slightly, and he easily understood what the other party said through his powerful mental ability.
"Welcome to the shop of Kardas, Venerable Mage."
Grant's face remained unchanged, and he walked in without the mercenaries around him care, but there was an earth-shattering wave in his heart, the scarlet and powerful heart was pounding, and the blood flow rate was much faster. Until now, no one has been able to discover his identity as a mage, even the emir only thinks that he is just a genius beast tamer, and even the white-robed mage on the mage tower does not know that there is a black-robed mage apprentice in the small city he manages.
But just by coming here, someone immediately discovered his identity, to that unclear level, and the agility index that was much faster than him, which made Grant very insecure, he was like falling into an ice cellar, and the whole body was cold, he understood that if the other party suddenly attacked him, he would have no way to make a move, not even Grizzly Bear and Heilu, this is a qualitative gap.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions, I'm just a shopkeeper." Cardas showed his snow-white teeth, his eyes calm, he was still standing there, straight as a spear, and the mercenaries on both sides did not notice this strange change.
When Grant heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He tried his best to show his calmness, not wanting the other party to notice his panic, and turned his head to see the weapons scattered everywhere, and swept them one by one, he had only come this time for the legendary longbow, and to find a good piece of armor to keep him alive as much as possible in the Gaenyi Forest.
He walked around, looking for weapons on either side.
While he was searching, suddenly he felt the cold energy floating in the air, that kind of energy made him very uncomfortable, he turned his head and saw that on the wall in the corner, there was a black compound bow hanging, but he felt the bow, he felt a burst of discomfort all over his body, half-squinted, Grant could feel that on the bow, there were layers of gray mist entwined, very light and inflammatory, without strong spiritual power, it could not be found at all.
"There's something weird about this bow, what's so good about me." Grant took a few steps closer, and when he was a meter closer to the bow and arrow, he felt a significant drop in the air around him, and the biting cold seemed to be able to penetrate through the surface of his body, penetrate deep into his body, and rage in his bones. He shook his head, and the powerful spiritual power enveloped his whole body, and this feeling receded like a tide.
Grant reached out and touched the bowstring of the compound bow as he activated his analytical skills, wondering what was the point of the bow in front of him.
"Cursed Bow (Unknown) Ability: Cursed, Unplayable."
The information that came out made Grant's face relaxed, he understood that what he was looking for should be this bow, but the only trouble was that he had no way to expel the curse on it, he was not a priest who believed in gods, he did not have the divine blessing and the ability to remove evil. And he doesn't have a first-order mage, a spell to dispel.
This made him a little embarrassed.
"Forget it, anyway, I'll buy it for the time being, and then find a way to remove the curse on it when I have the strength, at least this weapon, I can't have it for the time being." Grant thought for a moment and glanced at the price marked below - ten gold coins.
He knew that the weapon was a good deal, so he didn't have any intention of making a counter-offer and turned to look at Cardas.
