Chapter 5: The Mysterious Short Blade
There are a few weapons shops in Pearl Harbor that are still very famous, but the most attractive one is one called Wanqi Pavilion. Rhea has been there a few times, but ordinary people like Rhea can only be limited to the first floor. As for the weapons on the second floor and above, they are all places where shepherds and some orc warriors can go, and the weapons sold are also very different from those of the first layer, and I heard that only people with special powers will know how to use them. And this first layer is mostly for ordinary human beings, such as some sailors and soldiers. However, even if this is the case, the weapons on the first floor of the Ten Thousand Weapons Pavilion are sharper and of much harder quality than the weapons seen on a daily basis, which is why the business of this shop is so good.
"Little brother, come on, welcome to our Wanqi Pavilion, please inside!
Rhea came here several times and didn't get anything that suited her, either because it was too expensive, or because the weapon didn't fit, was too heavy or too light. Rhea was going to try his luck again today, after all, he also hoped to have a weapon of his own like Old Joe and the others. In this way, if you encounter pirates or something in the future, you can also have the strength to fight.
Wanqi Pavilion has entered a lot of new products this time, Rhea has just wandered around this first layer for a while, and immediately a weapon attracted his attention, this is a long sword made of Xuantie, this sword is three feet long, and the sword body is carefully carved with silver lines. Rhea couldn't wait to pick it up and check it, the weight was just right, it was very to his liking, and from the silver glittering tip of the sword, he could feel a sharp sharpness from it.
Rhea was very happy to be able to buy a weapon that she liked this time. But when Rhea was just about to leave with this sword, something suddenly lit up in the corner of his eye, saying that it was too late, and suddenly, a cool and heartfelt feeling quickly spread from the soles of Rhea's feet to the top of his head, Rhea's whole person trembled very comfortably, and found that his mind was clear at this time, and he swept away a trace of sleepiness and exhaustion accumulated at noon.
Although this refreshing feeling was only instantaneous, Rhea was sure that everything just now was not an illusion!
It's a black short blade that looks very ordinary on the surface, and it's hidden among the many weapons that it's hard to notice at a glance. But I can't say why, although this short blade is lying there quietly, it gives Rhea a a very strong sense of familiarity, and Rhea feels that this short blade has something to do with what just happened.
"Hey, old man, how much does your shortblade cost?"
"Eh, here it is, little brother, good vision! This short blade is delicate and lightweight, and it is the best for self-defense. If the little brother wants it, then I will sell it to you for fifteen silver coins. ”
"Is there a mistake? The Xuantie Sword in my hand just now is only 12 silver coins, and your broken knife sells for 15 silver?"
"Little brother, you don't know about this. To tell you the truth, this short blade in your hand was not made by the Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion, but was recycled by us, so there is no Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion logo on it. The reason why it is expensive is that it comes from a ruined battlefield in the east of Caesar's continent, so we suspect that it was not made by humans, but may be related to the elves. ”
"You mean... Elves?" Rhea had heard of the word elves, but elves generally lived in the depths of the eastern part of Caesar's continent and rarely communicated with the outside world, so Rhea had never seen a living elven people. But if this thing really comes from the elves, then what happened just now makes sense.
"Okay, then I'll have this shortblade. It's 15 silver coins, you take it. ”
Rhea paid the money, and then left thoughtfully with the shortblade.
At this time, the old man of the Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion was holding a bag full of silver coins, looking at the back of Rhea leaving, and secretly showed a sly smile.
"Haha, I finally ran into a big wrongdoer. Although this thing was indeed picked up from the east of Caesar's continent, but if you think about it, how could this be an elven thing? I just rambled a few words, and this fool actually believed it. This thing has not been sold for so many years, but I didn't expect to sell it not only today, but also at such a high price, which makes me laugh to death. ”
However, Rhea walked down the street with this black short blade, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was not simple. Because he himself had been with a forger on the ship for several years, but now he couldn't see through the material used in this short blade, and the feeling of holding it in his hand was not at all as physical as that of an ordinary weapon, but gave people the illusion of being heavy and light.
If it had been in the past, Rhea might not have bought this dastard, but what happened that night a few days ago made Rhea start to believe that there are still many things in this world that are quite mysterious to him. Speaking of which, some time ago, Lao Qiao was sick and bedridden for many days, and he was embarrassed to disturb, but now that the illness has been cured, and the ship is docked today, I can just take this opportunity to have a good chat with Lao Qiao, see what he said about this matter, whether he wants to listen to what the mysterious man said, and whether he wants to go to the imperial capital where he is not familiar with life.
