Joshua, who was tall and skinny, grinned and said, "Martin, I think we've been fooled. How could he be the one who forged the Sword of a Hundred Skills?"
"Sword of a Hundred Skills?" Abel turned his head and looked at Zach. Was his big brother showing off after receiving the gift?
Zach rubbed his hands embarrassedly and peeked at Emily. He said, "Emily and I accidentally talked about it. These three guys don't believe that my little brother forged the Sword of a Hundred Skills for me. We were just arguing about it."
Abel looked at his big brother speechlessly. Didn't his father always say that his big brother was mature and steady? No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like his big brother had fallen into Emily's love net and couldn't extricate himself.
"That's the work I made when I was learning how to forge." Abel calmly explained.
When they heard Abel say that the Sword of a Hundred Skills was a practice work, they couldn't help but be speechless. The Sword of a Hundred Skills could only be forged by a Master Blacksmith, but it was called a practice work. They suddenly felt a surge of arrogance rush towards them.
"Which Master Blacksmith did you learn from?" Emily asked with a pair of beautiful big eyes.
"I learned from Master Bentham." Abel answered honestly. He had a very good attitude towards this girl who could be his future sister-in-law.
Martin couldn't help but say, "Master Bentham is a respected Master Blacksmith. How long have you been learning from him?"
"One month."
Martin, Bob, and Emily were all shocked. They all said in unison, "My god, this is unbelievable."
"Do you really believe that this kid can forge the Sword of a Hundred Skills in just one month? Even if his teacher is Master Bentham. "Joshua said with a cold smile.
"It's none of your business!" Emily mercilessly interrupted Joshua's words.
She knew that Joshua and Zach both liked Emily, but she despised the fact that Zach was trying to please her by insulting her younger brother. Emily knew that Zach wouldn't lie to her.
Joshua looked at Abel resentfully and pursed his lips. "Abel, don't claim Bentham's work as your own just to save face."
Zach shouted angrily, "Joshua, don't blame me for falling out with you if you keep talking nonsense!"
Martin stood up and separated the two of them. "It's easy to find out if it's Master Bentham's work. The Giant Hammer Weapon Shop is right in front of us. Why don't you ask the appraiser there to appraise it?"
Zach glanced at the calm Abel. After Abel nodded at him, Zach said, "Of course."
Joshua laughed and said, "Zach, do you really believe that Abel can forge the Sword of a Hundred Skills? Let's make a bet." Joshua patted the big sword on his back and said, "I'll use this real Master Bentham's creation as the wager. If that sword isn't Master Bentham's creation, then I'll lose and this big sword of mine will be yours. If it's Master Bentham's creation, then this big sword of yours will be mine. Do you dare to bet? "
Martin quickly said, "You don't have to go that far. Forget it, let's not make any bets."
Even Bob, who had been silent all this time, came up and said, "We're all friends. Let's bet and treat everyone to a good meal."
Joshua mocked, "Are you scared, Zach?"
Emily didn't care and said, "I'll be the judge. If anyone dares to go back on their word, I'll teach them a lesson."
Martin and Bob looked at the excited Emily and couldn't help but sigh. With her here, there was no way to stop the bet.
Abel couldn't help but frown. Ever since they met, Joshua had been constantly attacking him. He had never seen him before. Could he be his brother's enemy? But it didn't look like it. Although they had some arguments before, it seemed like it was just a small matter between friends.
"Fine, let's bet." Zach said angrily. Joshua kept mocking him and his brother in front of Emily, so his heart was filled with anger.
Seeing that things had turned out this way, everyone quickly walked towards the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop.
The Giant Hammer Weapon Shop was a shop in Harvest City that specialized in weapons and armor. As soon as they walked in, they saw a giant ironwood counter. The weapons in this world were very big and heavy. Only this kind of ironwood counter could bear the weight of a weapon.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop. I'm the shop manager, Ted. How may I help you?" A skinny middle aged man greeted them.
"Manager Ted, we want to appraise a big sword. Please have your best appraiser appraise it for us." Joshua said impatiently.
"Wait, I'm the judge. Give me both swords. I'll be responsible for this." Emily reached out her hand to stop Joshua. Her face was full of seriousness.
Zach didn't say anything. He just handed the big sword to Emily. Joshua didn't seem to want to hand over his big sword, but seeing that Zach had already given it to Emily, he had no choice but to hand it over to Emily.
"You're even more hesitant than a woman." When Emily said this, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also a woman. She grabbed the big sword in her hand.
At this moment, Ted called over an old man with a long beard and introduced him. "This is the head appraiser of the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop. You can just hand over the long sword to him. The appraisal fee for each weapon is 2 gold coins."
Emily threw out 2 gold coins and placed Zach's big sword on the counter. She said, "Please appraise this weapon and see if it's really Master Bentham's work."
When the old appraiser heard this, he was immediately energized. He took the big sword from the counter and examined it carefully. Gradually, the old appraiser's eyes became fixed. He had a very passionate look on his face. He jumped on the big sword and touched it with his fingers.
"It's too perfect. Which master's masterpiece is this?" The old appraiser murmured. "What kind of secret technique was used on this sword of a hundred skills? How can this sword be so sharp?"
The old appraiser didn't hide his admiration for the sword. He seemed to have forgotten about the people around him.
"Ahem …" Emily coughed twice to remind the old appraiser. She then asked again, "Can you confirm if this weapon is really Master Bentham's work?"
"Oh, no. Of course not. I can't tell which master's work this is, but it can't be Master Bentham's work." The old appraiser said with absolute certainty.
"How … How … How is this possible …" When Joshua saw the expression on the old appraiser's face, he knew that things weren't as he thought. When he heard the old appraiser's confirmation, he immediately jumped up and said, "You have to see clearly. Don't talk nonsense. I won't forgive you."
The old appraiser looked at Joshua coldly and said proudly, "If you're not satisfied with the appraisal result, you can go to the City Lord's Palace and report me. The Giant Hammer Weapon Shop is the property of the City Lord's Palace, but if you want to cause trouble here, think about the consequences."
Emily glanced at Joshua, who was blushing, but didn't dare to do anything. She picked up the two big swords and walked away from Joshua with a look of disdain.
When the old appraiser saw Emily put away the big sword, his face was full of pity. He then asked, "Is this sword for sale? I can pay 1200 gold coins for it. "
The old appraiser's words aroused the curiosity of the group. Emily asked, "Isn't the Sword of a Hundred Skills worth 1000 gold coins? How come you're paying 1200 gold coins for it? "
The others were also very curious. Abel, on the other hand, didn't think that he would be able to raise the value of a big sword by a few hundred gold coins just by using a method from another world for the first time.
"That's just an ordinary sword of a hundred skills. The value of a sword of a hundred skills is much higher than that of an ordinary sword of a hundred skills. This sword uses an extraordinary secret technique, so it's the best of the best. If it's in the hands of a powerful Knight, it'll be able to break an ordinary sword of a hundred skills in just a few strikes. Any powerful Knight who gets this sword will be like a tiger that has grown wings."
When Joshua left the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop, he didn't have the face to stay any longer since he lost the bet.
"Zach, you have to treat us." Martin and Abel looked at the two big swords in Zach's hands with envy. Emily, on the other hand, looked at Abel with curiosity. Her good upbringing prevented her from asking what kind of secret technique it was.
"Abel, can you forge a sword for me? I can give you money. "Emily's big eyes sparkled as she asked Abel in a soft voice.
"I only forge weapons for my family." Abel's refusal was very straightforward. Martin and Bob gave up on their little thoughts.
