Dieter's plan fell through, and Anteli's border guards came with smiles on their faces and praise them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It turned out that the gang they encountered was a group of habitual criminals who roamed the border between the two countries, composed of idle people on the border between Midland and Anteli, who had been acting as local militia for many years to collect tolls, and had even killed several people. Because the clothes are very popular, throwing down their weapons is no different from the nearby villagers, coming and going like the wind to change places, and the border army has never been able to catch them.

"King Elite's order is to give appropriate rewards for the arrest and killing of road bandits. The border guard said: "I will issue a certificate right away, and you can go to the finance department in the city of Pital to receive the bounty...... All in all, good job guys. ”

"I'm sorry for you. ”

In the end, there was no trouble, and the scene was left to law enforcement to deal with, and everyone embarked on the journey again.

Dieter...... You all have weapons, and it's inconvenient for me to be empty-handed. Rod protested in a low voice, he only realized today: this world is not as safe as he thinks, and a guy who beats a woman when he goes shopping can be a habitual bandit.

The merchant snorted coldly: "If you have a weapon, then you won't turn the sky upside down?"

"Then I have to have something to protect myself, you said, I can't stop the trouble if I have to find the door, just in case. ”

This reason is quite sufficient, Dieter was persuaded, touched his chin and thought for a while before nodding: "After arriving in Pital City, go to the blacksmith shop over there to order a sword for you, but with the guy, our previous agreement is still valid, if you mess around, I can ask Grom to take you back at any time." ”

"Okay, I promise!"

Before today, if someone had told Dieter that he would one day be genuinely glad that nothing had happened on the road, that person would have been called a madman, but he was really relieved when he had made it all the way and arrived safely in the evening.

After arranging his lodgings, the merchant decided to take Rhodes to the famous blacksmith's shop to secure his weapons. He called in Grom, Morfan, Pauli, and Silna—the best of the best, and in such an important border city, such a lineup would not have been necessary, but he was a little afraid of any more moths.

And Rod, called out to his new friend Ciri.

......

It wasn't cold yet, and the early autumn evening was cooler and pleasant, but as we approached the blacksmith's shop, the air warmed up with a drenching drought.

The heat came from the stove, and the shelves in the shop were full of all kinds of weapons that had been built, as the most famous blacksmith shop in this area, the weapons put out were naturally extremely sophisticated, not only self-produced guys, but also quite some famous products at home and abroad.

"Good evening, Master. Rod greeted the short, sturdy, waist-length dwarven man standing by the fire, but he received an inexplicable look. The dwarf glanced at him, turned his back, and continued to forge the iron tires without saying a word.

"Adventure novels are very harmful, do you think that the dwarf standing in the blacksmith shop must be a master of weapon forging?" Morfan laughed: "The one behind the counter over there is the owner of this shop, Antelli's best sword forger, Fernand, but he is a human." ”

"It's better not to be a fool, it's still first-class. The tall human man behind the counter greeted him: "Do you want to buy a weapon?"

"Well, I want a better sword, master. Rod looked foreign again, fortunately he was used to it, but it didn't happen, "The longer one can be carried on his back." ”

"On your back?" Fernande asked strangely when he encountered this kind of request for the first time, "it is your personal freedom to put the weapon, and it has nothing to do with us, and to be honest, carrying it on your back has no other advantages than ease of movement." ”

"Leave his whims alone, just take a few good swords and give him a try. Dieter began.

"No problem. Fernand looked Rhodes up and down and led him to a wall: "Pick it yourself." ”

Rod frowned and looked at the swords in front of him, took two and waved them casually, and shook his head: "It's too light, it's almost the same for girls." ”

"That's what you want to focus on...... If it's too light, you can only look at the two-handed sword. ”

After a selection attempt, Rhodes walked to the two-handed sword area without hesitation, took the longest and most domineering one, and waved it in his hand, which was finally not too light.

Fernande was a little surprised when he saw it on the side, and what Rhodes was holding in his hand was a guard of honor sword weighing more than ten catties, which was the longest and heaviest sword in the store. He inherited his father's business and forged and sold swords for decades, and the swordsmen he had seen formed an army that was enough to overthrow the kingdom of Antaili. I have seen a lot of warriors with amazing strength and the ability to wield two-handed swords with one arm, but it is the first time I have seen such customers who are all strong men who are nearly two meters tall and weigh two or three hundred pounds, and who can do this with a thin figure like the young man in front of him.

"The counterweights are not very good, and they are uncomfortable to use. Rod pursed his lips and put his sword back. He can only touch lead-filled practice swords on weekdays, and he has never touched a few real swords, so he is a little picky at the moment.

Looking around the store, his eyes suddenly stopped on a huge pedestal by the counter, a huge and generous weapon that he could hide from other behind, so powerful and domineering, as if he was the king of weapons in this room.

"Is this a sword in the stone, and if I pull it out, it will be its destiny master?" said Rod with a grimace at Ciri, jokingly, "If a monster spews at me, I'll just hide behind it." ”

"You'll still be the king of the world. Ciri rolled her eyes at him and replied angrily.

"Tsk, this sword is really lethal enough to slay dragons. Sylna interjected, "Just a slap on the head can stun it." ”

"Slay the dragon?" Ciri looked at Rhodes with some curiosity.

"That's not for sale!" Fernand was a little dizzy: the sword that everyone was talking about, inserted on a solid iron base, was neither the legendary sword in the stone, nor an ancient relic artifact, but a sample used to reflect the level of smelting and forging in the shop, without any calculation and design, weighing two hundred catties. It's not so much a sword as a superb steel plate with a huge handshake.

"It's okay, I'll pull it out and play with it, and I'll put it back for you later. Rod walked over, tried a little heavy with one hand, then held it with both hands, pulled out the big guy like a door panel from the base, held the handle and waved it a few times, with the sound of whirring wind, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, it feels so cool, no one in the world can block my blow." ”

The legendary Antelli First Sword Smith suddenly lost his masterly demeanor, and his eyes were stunned as he watched the boy wield the sample, and he took a step back in fright, waving his hand again and again and calling him to put it down. These two hundred pounds of things, if a young man can't hold it and fly out, it's not a joke, even if he doesn't hit anyone, he can knock a hole in the wall of his shop.

The movement quickly attracted the attention of others inside and outside the store, and some people began to stand and watch, and there was a lot of discussion.

"This kid has so much strength, it's just right for Fernand to hammer wrought iron. ”

"Are you kidding, this is the child of a rich and noble family, and the family's money may be able to buy all the sword shops and give them hammers?"

"That big iron guy is hollow, I'll try it later!"

"That young man is so handsome......"

＊＊＊

"Stop, put it down. Grom looked at Rhodes with a frown, and after a moment, he couldn't help but put down his hand and walked over to stop him: "I'm going to stab you in the throat next, you're ready to block." ”

"Okay!" Rod agreed, only to say that the man wanted to mention his swordsmanship again, and suddenly came to his senses. He has been training with Grom all year round, and he is confident that he will not lose too ugly without bullying himself. Besides, this sword is so wide, as long as you can block it in front of you...... Who can stab themselves?
