If a weapon forged with rainbow adamantine fell into the hands of someone who knew how to use it, it would be a real killing weapon. It only needed a trace of mana to control it, and it could easily switch between various magical attributes at will. This unpredictable attack method was enough to give any opponent a headache.
"It's already pitiful of you to be willing to pay 100 gold coins. Open your eyes and look at the weapons in my shop. Which one is not better than your broken sword? How much do you want to sell such a broken sword? A thousand gold coins or two thousand gold coins? " Probably feeling that this man was affecting his business, the fat boss raised his head impatiently from the account book. "Anyway, I'm only offering 100 gold coins. If you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't want to sell it, get lost. Don't block my business here."
The young man opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his mouth, he did not say anything. In the end, he just silently wrapped the two-handed sword with a cloth strip, and then silently carried it on his back. Then, he turned and walked out of the Gilded Rose.
"Wait." Just as he walked to the door, the mage who had been silent called out to him. "How many gold coins are you going to sell this two-handed sword for?"
"Are you willing to buy it?" This sentence was like a ray of light in the darkness. The young man's dim eyes suddenly lit up again. "A thousand gold coins … Oh no, no, no. 800 gold coins. As long as you give me 800 gold coins, it's yours."
"800?" Lin Li was slightly stunned.
It was normal for Lin Li to be stunned. Who would have thought that a five-elemental magical sword forged with rainbow adamantine would only be sold for 800 gold coins?
But for the desperate young man, this stupor meant something else. He thought that the mage thought it was too expensive. There was some hesitation on his dark face, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and offered a new price. "600 gold coins, Mr. Mage, you can take it away for 600 gold coins."
He hadn't said a word, but the price had been lowered twice in a row. Lin Li suddenly understood everything.
This young man must be in urgent need of money. Otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry to sell.
To be honest, Lin Li had never thought of himself as a virtuous person. If it had been in the past, he would probably have gone with the flow and directly offered a low price to buy the two-handed sword. "Only a bastard would not take advantage of a bargain" — this was what the old fellow Gerian had said …
But since he made a windfall at the Arcane Magic Potion auction, this guy had been much more restrained. The so-called making a fortune and establishing one's character probably referred to this situation. It was not worth doing this for a little money …
Lin Li did not bargain, but asked, "Are you in need of money?"
"Yes, Mr. Mage. My father is ill and needs money." The young man heard a glimmer of hope in the mage's words, and a hint of joy appeared on his tanned face.
"How much?"
"About a thousand gold coins …"
"How six hundred gold coins is enough?"
"Lin" Lin Of to of to to. to to Lin "of of to of Lin of to to to Rose of to of to of of of to to to to.
"Forget it. Don't sell the house." Lin Li nodded and took out a purse from his pocket. This was the pocket money that Gerian had given him. There were exactly a thousand gold coins in it. "Consider this thousand gold coins as a loan from me to you. The two-handed sword will be a temporary mortgage. When you have earned enough money, come to the Guild of Magic to redeem it from me."
"Really?" The young man raised his head suddenly. His dark face was full of surprise. "Are you really willing to lend me money?"
"I don't care. Anyway, if you don't return the money, this two-handed sword will belong to me. I won't suffer a loss, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. This two-handed sword is not only worth a thousand gold coins, it's far more than that … Only those guys with mental problems would offer such a ridiculous price as a hundred gold coins."
"Thank you, Mr. Mage." The young man's face was filled with surprise. With trembling hands, he took the money pouch from the other party's hands. It was only at this moment that he knew that he was not dreaming. Holding the heavy money pouch, his whole body relaxed. He had money to buy medicine, and his father could be saved …
"Mr. Mage, what do you mean by this?" The fat boss was buried in the accounts, but when he heard Lin Li's words, he could not help but raise his head. There was a look of dissatisfaction on his fat face. "You are willing to help him. This is your personal matter. What has it got to do with my vision? Do you really think this broken sword is better than the weapons in my shop? Don't joke around … "
Lin Li laughed. "You don't believe me?"
"Of course I don't believe it." The fat boss had a proud look on his face. "I have worked in the Gilded Rose for twenty years. I dare not say anything else, but this pair of eyes will never be wrong. This kind of scrap metal, there are plenty outside the Adventurers Guild, and they are all for the lowest level of adventurers." "I think there is one thing you haven't figured out.
"I think there's something you haven't figured out. You're just a magician, not a blacksmith, and not the owner of a weapon shop. When it comes to magic, you may be a hundred times better than me, but when it comes to weapon identification …" The fat boss smiled sarcastically. "I may be a hundred times better than you even if I close my eyes and smell with my nose. Don't think that magicians are omnipotent. I've sold more weapons than you've ever seen. Do you think you're qualified to tell me this?"
"Then how about we make a bet?" Lin Li really did not want to entangle with him about vision. For a person who could sell winter iron as ordinary iron, vision was too profound.
"Bet?" The fat boss swallowed his saliva and hesitated a little.
"Are you afraid?" After hanging around with Gerian for so long, Lin Li had not learned much, but his mouth had become more poisonous.
"Who said I don't dare!"
"Very well, then let's have a bet. Let's see if the weapons in your shop are better, or if this sword used by low-level adventurers is better." Lin Li reached out and took the two-handed sword from the young man's hand effortlessly.
This scene fell into the young man's eyes, and he immediately stared.
He was the one who took out this double-edged sword, so he naturally knew better than others how heavy this seemingly ordinary weapon was. When Lin Li reached out to him, he was a little stunned. He did not expect that this seemingly weak mage could actually pick up such a heavy weapon.
How could he have thought that the person standing in front of him was simply a monster?
As a blacksmith guru, Lin Li's body was much stronger than it looked. Even without any training, he had at least the physical fitness of a level-three or level-four warrior. If this guy were to train well, although it was unlikely that he would practice both magic and martial arts, he would at least have the strength of a level-five or level-six warrior.
Picking up a heavy double-edged sword was as easy as eating and drinking to him.
"Bring me the best shield in your shop."
"Okay." This fat man was also not afraid of death. Hearing Lin Li's words, his temper flared, and he went straight to the second floor.
Seeing the fat boss go up to the second floor, the young man could not help but feel a little uneasy. The Gilded Rose was the best equipment shop in Jarrosus. What if the fat boss really took out some powerful shield and made this kind-hearted mage lose …
Then, he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.
The kind-hearted mage held the sword with both hands and slashed at the air twice. Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of breaking through the air …
A mage with a weak body was slashing with a double-edged sword that was half the height of a person. Was there anything stranger in the world than this? The young man rubbed his eyes fiercely. He felt that he must have been seeing things.
"Not bad, not bad. This sword is really good." After a few consecutive slashes, Lin Li stopped without blushing or panting. He praised it with satisfaction, and then asked curiously, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Mr. Magician, my name is Sean, Sean Polillo." Upon hearing the question from the mage who had helped him before, the young man respectfully reported his name.
"Sean, is it …" Lin Li was about to chat with him when he heard a sound coming from the stairs. Then he saw the fat boss dragging a Tower Shield down.
Lin Li could not help but be a little annoyed. This guy was a little clever. He actually knew how to drag a Tower Shield down.
The attack method of the double-edged sword was to slash, and the Tower Shield was undoubtedly the most effective against slashing among all the shields. Moreover, there was a faint magical wave on the Tower Shield. It seemed that it was another piece of magical equipment that had been processed with inscriptions.
But it did not matter. Under the rainbow adamantine, everything was fleeting …
Lin Li was very confident in this double-edged sword forged with rainbow adamantine. This was not a sharp weapon that ordinary magical equipment could resist.
"Mr. Mage, what do you want to bet?" The fat boss was not a Smithing Guru. Dragging such a heavy Tower Shield from the second floor to the first floor had already made him tired and sweaty. But when he said this, his voice was full of infinite confidence. This shield was bought from an adventurer at a high price. In order to improve its defense, he also specially asked a mage to help him lay the mageweath.
He had tried many times in the past few days. He had tried all kinds of weapons in the shop, but no matter how sharp the weapon was, as long as it slashed on this Tower Shield, it would not leave a trace. The fat boss did not believe that the seemingly shabby double-edged sword could be more powerful than the weapons in his shop.
This gamble was really too attractive. Even the two blacksmith apprentices, who were sweating profusely by the furnace, couldn't help but put down their hammers. They hid by the door and peeked inside. And their strange behavior naturally attracted more passers-by. From time to time, people stopped outside the Gilded Rose and looked into the shop with curious eyes.
In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of people outside the Gilded Rose, making the deserted weapons and armor shop as lively as a busy market.
"Let's bet a thousand gold coins."
"Okay! I'd like to see if this broken sword is really so powerful. "
"Step aside, I'm afraid of hurting you …" After putting the shield in place, Lin Li asked kindly, "By the way, if the shield is broken, will you have any trouble?"
"No …" The fat boss swallowed his saliva again. The eyes of this mage made him very uncomfortable …
"That's good!"
With the word "good" coming out, the double-edged sword was raised high.
Then Lin Li injected a trace of mana into the sword, and in an instant, a glimmer of light flowed on the double-edged sword.
Under this trace of mana, the weapon forged from rainbow adamantine immediately became incomparably unfamiliar. A ghastly chill emanated from the sword, and there was no trace of its previous dull appearance. The sword with a glimmer of light was like a pool of autumn water, drawing a shining trajectory in the air …
This ferocious sword was like a bolt of lightning.
Then, the two of them heard a crisp "kacha" sound.
There was a sudden silence in the Gilded Rose …
Whether it was Sean or the fat boss, they were both stunned at almost the same time.
Sean did not expect this kind-hearted mage to be able to strike such a ferocious sword.
The fat boss was completely shocked by the light of the sword. At that moment, he saw clearly that the originally dull double-edged sword glowed with a dazzling light. He had worked in the Gilded Rose for 20 years. How could he not recognize the unique light of a high-level magical weapon?
It was equally quiet outside the Gilded Rose.
Almost all the onlookers, including the two blacksmith apprentices, were looking at the Tower Shield nervously. At this moment, not even a breath could be heard.
After that lightning-like sword, even time seemed to have stopped.
There was not the slightest change in the Gilded Rose. The double-edged sword was held in Lin Li's hands, and the heavy Tower Shield was still intact.
"Hahaha … I've said it before. How could such a broken sword split the best shield in my shop!" The surroundings were astonishingly quiet, and the fat boss' laughter spread far and wide.
"Pa …"
The crisp sound was particularly ear-piercing in the midst of the fat boss' laughter.
Then, everyone saw that a crack was beginning to spread on the seemingly intact shield …
With that crisp sound, the fat boss seemed to be suddenly strangled by his throat, and the smile on his face froze.
