Chapter 19: Gambling
Joshua, who was tall and thin, grinned and said, "Martin, I think most of us have been deceived, how could that Bailian Great Sword be forged by him." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Bailian Great Sword?" Abel turned his head to look at Zack, his eldest brother wouldn't come out to show off if he received a gift, right?
Zach rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, peeked at Emily again, and said, "I talked about it with Emily by accident, these three guys don't believe that my brother helped me build a hundred great sword, and we were arguing about this just now. ”
Abel looked at his eldest brother speechlessly, didn't his father always say in front of him that the eldest brother was mature and steady, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he had fallen into Emily's love network, and he couldn't extricate himself.
"That's what I learned to black. Abel explained lightly.
Hearing Abel say that the Bailian Sword is a practice work, several people couldn't help but be a little speechless, the Bailian Sword that can only be forged by a master blacksmith, but it is called a practice work, and several people suddenly felt a rush of bull anger rushing to their faces.
"Which master did you learn the forging from?" asked Emily, with her big beautiful eyes flashing.
"I studied blacksmithing with Master Bentham . Abel replied honestly, his attitude towards this girl who may be his future sister-in-law is very good.
Martin couldn't help but say, "Master Bentham is a respected master blacksmith, how long have you been studying with the master?"
"A month. ”
Martin, Bob, and Emily all said in unison in shock, "Oh my God, it's incredible." ”
"Do you really believe that this kid can forge a hundred great swords in just one month, even if his teacher is Master Bentham . Joshua said with a sneer.
"What's your business!" interrupted Joshua mercilessly.
Both Joshua and Zach like Emily, and she knows that, but Emily despises the behavior of beating someone else's younger brother to please her, and Emily knows that Zach will not lie to herself.
Joshua glanced at Abel stupidly, pursed his lips, and said in a strange manner: "Abel, don't say that Master Benthham's works are your own for the sake of face. ”
Zach exclaimed with an angry face, "Joshua, don't blame me for turning my face with you if you talk nonsense!"
Martin on the side stood up, separated the two and said, "It's easy to know if it's the work of Master Bentham or not, there is a giant hammer weapon shop in front of it, wouldn't it be clear if you ask the appraiser there to appraise it?"
"Absolutely. Zach glanced at Abel, who looked calm, and after Abel nodded to him, he said.
Joshua laughed and said, "Zach, you really believe that Abel can forge a hundred great swords, let's make a bet." As he spoke, Joshua patted his big sword on his back, and then said, "If the sword is not the work of Master Bentham, then even if I lose, my great sword is yours, and if it is the work of Master Bentham, then your great sword is mine." Do you dare to bet?"
Martin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't play so big, forget it, don't make any bets." ”
Even Bob, who was silent on the side, stepped forward to persuade at this time: "We are all friends, why don't you bet on everyone to have a good meal." ”
Joshua teased, "Don't you dare, Zack." ”
Emily shouted indifferently: "I'll be the referee, who dares to cheat, see if I don't clean him up." ”
Martin and Bob looked at the excited Emily and couldn't help but sigh, with this one, the gamble can't be persuaded to do so.
Abel couldn't help frowning slightly, since they met, this Joshua has been constantly hitting himself, and he has never seen him before, is it the enemy of the eldest brother, but it doesn't look like it, although there were some arguments before he came, it can also be seen that it is a trivial matter between friends.
"Bet on it. Zach said angrily, and Joshua was already full of anger as he kept laughing at himself and his brother in front of Emily.
Seeing that this was already the case, everyone walked quickly to the Giant Hammer Weapons Shop.
The Giant Hammer Weapon Shop is a shop specializing in weapons and armor in Harvest City, and when you enter the door, you will see a huge counter made of ironwood, the weapons in this world are very large and heavy, and only this counter made of ironwood can carry the weight of weapons.
"Welcome gentlemen and ladies to the Giant Hammer Weapons Shop, I'm the store manager Ted, do you need anything?" a thin middle-aged man greeted several people.
"Store Manager Ted, we want to identify a big sword, please ask your best appraiser to help us identify it. Joshua spoke impatiently.
"Wait, I'm the referee, give me both big swords, and I'll take care of this. Emily stretched out her hand to block Joshua, and said with a serious and responsible look written all over her face.
Zach didn't say anything, and directly handed the big sword to Emily, and Joshua seemed very reluctant to hand over his big sword, but seeing that Zach had already handed over the big sword to Emily first, he had no choice but to hand over the big sword to Emily slowly.
"You're more grinding than a woman. Emily said this as if she had forgotten that she was also a woman, and snatched her great sword in her hand.
At this time, the store manager Ted had already called an old man with a long beard and introduced: "This is the chief appraiser of the Giant Hammer Weapons Shop, you can just hand over the long sword to him, and the appraisal fee for each weapon is 2 gold coins." ”
Emily threw out two gold coins, placed Zach's broadsword on the counter, and said, "Please identify if this weapon is the work of Master Bentham or not." ”
When the old appraiser heard that the appraisal was a master's work, he immediately became energetic, drew his great sword from the counter, and examined it carefully. Gradually, the old appraiser's eyes straightened a little, revealing a very fanatical expression, and the person suddenly pounced on the big sword, stroking the big sword with his fingers.
"It's perfect, it's the masterpiece of some master. The old appraiser muttered, "What kind of secret technique is used on the Hundred Cultivation Great Sword, how can this Great Sword be so sharp." ”
The old appraiser made no secret of his admiration for this Bailian sword, and seemed to have forgotten the few people on the side.
"Ahem" Emily coughed lightly twice to remind the old appraiser of his attention, and then asked repeatedly, "Can you be sure if this weapon is the work of Master Benthom?" ”
"Oh no, of course not, I don't see which master this is, but it certainly can't be the work of Master Benthham. The old appraiser said with certainty.
"This ...... This...... How is this possible......" Joshua knew when he saw the old appraiser's expression that things were not what he had imagined, and when he heard the old appraiser's affirmative reply, he immediately stopped doing it, jumped up and said, "You have to see it clearly, don't talk nonsense, I can't spare you." ”
The old appraiser looked at Joshua coldly, and said proudly: "If you are not satisfied with the appraisal results, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to sue me, the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop is the property of the City Lord's Mansion, but if you want to make trouble here, please consider the consequences." ”
Emily glanced at Joshua, whose face was flushed and he didn't dare to attack, and picked up two big swords in disgust and left Joshua away, with an expression that I didn't recognize him.
The old appraiser saw Emily put away the big sword, and his face was full of pity, and he turned to ask, "Can this Bailian great sword be sold?" I can give 1,200 gold coins. ”
The old appraiser's words caused the crowd to be surprised, and Emily asked, "Didn't you say that the value of the Hundred Lian Great Sword is 1,000 gold coins?
Several other people were also curious, and Abel didn't expect that it was just the first time that he had used some methods from another world to make a big sword appreciate by hundreds of gold coins.
"That's an ordinary Bailian Great Sword, the value of the best products in the Bailian Great Sword is far more than the ordinary Bailian Great Sword, and this sword uses extraordinary secret techniques, and it is the best of the best, if it is in the hands of a powerful knight, it can almost cut off the ordinary Bailian Great Sword within a few swords, and any powerful knight who obtains this big sword is like a tiger with wings. ”
When he left the Sledgehammer Weapons Shop, Joshua felt that he had no face to stay here because he had lost the gamble, so he left alone.
"Zach, you need to have a treat. Martin and Bob looked enviously at the two great swords in Zack's hands, and Emily looked at Abel curiously, and her good upbringing prevented her from asking what kind of secret art it was.
"Abel, can you help me forge a sword? I can give you money. Emily's eyes flashed wide, and she pleaded softly to Abel.
"I only forge weapons for my family. Abel refused very simply, causing both Martin and Bob on the side to break off their thoughts.
Emily seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but glance at Zack with a slight blush, and then said to Abel: "Phew!"
