In front of the shabby [Locke's Weapon Shop], a young man in luxurious clothes walked in. His weapons were also luxurious, and they were embedded with all kinds of gems.
As long as one had the power of a profession, they would be able to sense the terrifying power contained within these gems.
Therefore, the two customers who just walked out of [Locke's Weapon Shop] changed their expressions when they saw this young man, and they immediately took a detour.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in this young man's ears.
"Finally found you, Mr. Varley."
It was Tang Tianlin, and the young man in front of him was the owner of the castle, Vampire Varley. Young Varley wasn't too surprised to see Tang Tianlin here. "Why are you here?"
"I just happened to see you," Tang Tianlin said calmly, "You want to go in … to buy weapons?"
Tang Tianlin looked at young Varley's equipment and said, "Is this necessary?"
Young Varley said calmly, "Don't be fooled by this weapon shop. The craftsman who ran this shop may be the best in the entire [Chessboard] world."
"Locke?" Tang Tianlin looked at the name of the weapon shop and said subconsciously.
Young Varley said, "Since you are here, you can go in with me if you are interested. Maybe you can find a weapon suitable for you … [Death Walker], the most suitable weapon for you should be a scythe. A huge scythe would be better."
"Let's go in and have a look." Tang Tianlin shrugged.
They pushed open the door and entered. The interior of the weapon store was not very bright. Although there was an old smell, it was still tidy … When the two of them entered, they saw a young man about 17 or 18 years old tidying up the shelves of goods.
"What do you want to buy?" The young man quickly greeted them with a smile, "My name is Ji Lian, and I am an employee of this weapon shop. I am very happy to serve you."
"Let's just take a look." Tang Tianlin waved his hand casually.
However, young Varley suddenly took out a special item. "Give this to the owner of this weapon shop, and he will know why I am here."
"This?" The young Ji Lian looked at the kid who looked much younger than himself in surprise … but this kid looked quite old.
"If I tell you to go, then go. Don't be in a daze." Young Wali said indifferently, but his eyes narrowed.
The shop assistant, Ji Lian, felt a sudden chill all over his body. He nodded and walked in in a panic.
After that, young Wali didn't look at the weapons in the shop anymore. Instead, he leaned against the shelves and waited … Seeing this, Tang Tianlin knew that young Wali wouldn't answer him no matter what he asked, so he just looked around casually.
Time passed just like that, but the young shop assistant still hadn't returned … Only faintly, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the back of the weapon shop.
It should be the sound of iron being struck.
…
In the backyard of [Locke's Weapon Shop], in front of a small house, the young Ji Lian was squatting on the doorsill with her hands resting on her cheeks as she watched the bustling scene in the house.
The owner of [Locke's Weapon Shop] was a craftsman passed down from generation to generation. Ji Lian often heard the owner bragging about how great his ancestors were when he was drunk … Then, [Locke's Weapon Shop]'s business hadn't been very good.
The shop owner wasn't forging any divine weapon at the moment. It was just that an uncle from the neighboring street had placed an order to forge a kitchen knife. The shop owner, who had always been a procrastinator, didn't start working until today, when the customer came to urge him for the third time.
However, the owner had a bad habit. He didn't like to be interrupted when he was working … Ji Lian had tried to interrupt him several times before, but he was scolded miserably every time.
"Perfect, the kitchen knife I made is perfect." Finally, after wiping his sweat, the owner of the weapon shop, Max, walked out with a black kitchen knife and handed it to Ji Lian, "Come on, give it to that guy. Buy some food on the way back … Why aren't you going?"
Seeing this, Ji Lian took out the token and said that there were people outside.
Max took the card and looked at it for a while before saying in a deep voice, "Is he still waiting outside?"
"Should be." Ji Lian nodded, "Dad, do you know that person? He looks like the young master of a noble family. How come this shabby weapon shop is related to a noble family? "
"Do you think he's a noble?" Max sneered, "Maybe he's a devil who's here to collect debts … Alright, I'll take care of this person. Now, give this kitchen knife to him first. Otherwise, it'll affect my reputation!"
'You still have a reputation?'
Ji Lian shook her head. After wrapping the kitchen knife, she walked out from the back door … Max's face was a little more serious at this time, and he quickly walked into the house.
… …
"This is what you wanted."
Soon after, Max came to the hall of the weapon shop and brought a box the size of a plate … The box was even sealed with a magic seal.
Max frowned as he looked at the sharp-eyed young man in front of him, "Look carefully. We've never opened this box privately, but so many years have passed. If there's any change in the things inside, it's not something we can control."
"I trust your ancestor." Young Wally chuckled and took the box directly, "Your family has kept this for me for a long time … Don't worry, I won't come back in the future. The original contract will be written off. "
Seeing that the young man was about to leave, Uncle Max opened his mouth and gritted his teeth. "Wait, what's in this box? What's in it?"
"You'll die if you know. Do you want to know?" Young Wally turned back and smiled.
Max immediately broke out in cold sweat and took a deep breath, "Let's go. I've fulfilled my ancestors' promise."
Young Wally chuckled and walked out of the weapon shop directly … Tang Tianlin saw this and had to follow. However, as soon as they walked out of the door, Young Wally suddenly pulled out the sword inlaid with gems and slashed out a sword light.
Bang —!
[Locke's Weapon Shop] instantly collapsed.
"You'll die if you don't ask."
Sheathing his sword, the young Wally left with a creepy smile … Tang Tianlin frowned. He turned around to look at the weapon shop that had collapsed and shook his head. In the end, he decided not to meddle in other people's business.
…
…
"Move! Move! Move —! "
In the noisy street, a group of heavily armored soldiers riding on mighty beasts were driving the pedestrians away … Among this group of astonishingly armed soldiers, a handsome man was looking at all of this with a smile on his face.
"Move —! Move —! "
In the end, this would push down the pedestrians … Many pedestrians fell to the ground at this time, and were even trampled … Finally, some people who couldn't stand such domineering bravery jumped out in an instant.
Today, heroes from all over the world gathered in the Royal City of [Elnis] to participate in the upcoming competition. However, other than the heroes, there were also many people who came to join in the fun.
But soon, these brave people were pressed down on the ground by the fully armored soldiers … Some were even captured.
The pushing and shoving continued to expand, and more people were hurt because of it.
"Oh! My knife! My knife —! "
Ji Lian hurriedly bent down to look for it on the ground. But because there were too many people, he didn't even know when he dropped the kitchen knife … If he couldn't deliver the goods today, [Locke's Weapon Shop] would lose its reputation!
"Is this yours?"
"Yes —!"
Ji Lian was overjoyed. He saw a young man with black hair and black eyes in front of him, who was holding the kitchen knife that he accidentally dropped.
Boss Luo.
"Thank you so much! If I couldn't find it, I don't know how my father would scold me when I go back. "Ji Lian was so happy that his eyes almost popped out.
"This kitchen knife … is pretty good." Luoqiu looked at the kitchen knife on the ground and smiled, "The person who made it put a lot of effort into it."
"Just this knife?" Ji Lian opened his mouth and shook his head, "I don't know if he put a lot of effort into it or not. Anyway, not many people will buy it. The things my father made usually can't be sold."
"Father?"
Ji Lian said subconsciously, "It's Uncle Max. He runs [Locke's Weapon Shop]. I was an orphan when I was young and he took me in … So, I call him father."
Boss Luo looked at the white-clothed Arraia beside him — the white-clothed Arraia at this moment was the model of a quiet girl. She didn't cause any trouble along the way.
He smiled and returned the kitchen knife in his hand, saying, "Take it. Don't throw it away carelessly. It will be a pity."
Ji Lian took it subconsciously … But seeing the young man with black hair and black eyes turn around and leave with the white-clothed girl, he blurted out, "Please, please wait!"
"Is there anything else?"
Ji Lian thought for a while and said, "That … Don't go first. Although this kitchen knife is not worth much, it is related to the reputation of the shop. So … So, can I thank you? "
"Didn't you say thank you already?"
"That won't do!" Ji Lian shook his head, "It's easy to say thank you … But I'll feel bad."
Boss Luo chuckled and thought it was interesting. He asked curiously, "Then, how do you plan to thank me?"
"This …" Ji Lian was startled. He licked his lips and said subconsciously, "Do you have any weapons, kitchen utensils or farming tools at home? I can help you maintain it for free once! It's really just once. Otherwise, I'll lose money! "
"Brother, let's go." The white-clothed Arraia said softly at this moment.
Boss Luo smiled and said, "We don't live here, so we don't have any kitchen utensils … But, we have some weapons. Is that okay?"
"No problem!" Ji Lian quickly patted his chest, "To be honest, I'm best at maintaining weapons and armor! Weapons that have been maintained by me are as good as new … Then, what about your weapon? "
He saw that Boss Luo was empty-handed and was only holding a little girl's hand. He looked thin and weak. He didn't look like an adventurer at all.
Boss Luo took out the big sword, but he erased its glow, "It's here."
"You're … You're a professional!" Ji Lian was shocked, "Only a real professional can summon weapons out of thin air … Our [Locke's Arms Shop] has never received a real professional. At most, they're just ordinary adventurers! Please, please come to our shop! "
"I don't know where it is," Boss Luo said casually.
"Not far, not far!" Ji Lian said quickly, "I'll take you there now … No, not now. I still have to give the kitchen knife to the customer …"
"Finish what you have to do first." Boss Luo smiled faintly, "We have nothing to do now. We're just strolling around the King's City."
"That's great!" Ji Lian nodded and thought that this person was really good. Compared to the cold and scary noble young master who came to the weapon shop before, he was much better.
"By the way, the soldiers that passed by just now, what did they do?" Luoqiu asked casually, "Does this happen often?"
"Oh, that's the princess's direct guard." Ji Lian shrugged and said, "You'll get used to it after staying in the King's City for a few more days … The princess's guard has always been like this. It seems that a new chief has been born today, so he has to enter the palace to get a reward from the princess. "
"Chief?"
"Yes." Ji Lian nodded, "It's the guy who rode the tallest beast in the team just now. He's the new chief of the Battle Arena set up by the princess. Her Highness the Princess values martial prowess, so she created the Battle Arena. As long as you can win ten consecutive battles in the Battle Arena, you will be able to enter the palace and receive a reward … I heard that many of the soldiers in the direct guards were actually former champions of the Battle Arena … Are you interested in going to the Battle Arena to take a look? I'll take you there? "
"If there's a chance." Boss Luo smiled, "Finish your work first."
"That's right!" Ji Lian nodded quickly, "Come, let's go this way, this way is faster! I grew up in the King's City, so I'm most familiar with this place! "
"That's great." Boss Luo said casually, "I think I'm just missing a guide."
… …
… …
In the heavily guarded King's Palace.
Heavy armoured guards could be seen everywhere. This was a scene that would normally only appear during wartime, causing the newly appointed chief of the duelling arena to be inwardly shocked.
But the new chief wasn't too shocked … He was proud of his martial arts — ten consecutive victories in the Battle Arena, this was a very proud record.
Finally, he was brought to the front of the King's Palace … It was said that the princess liked brave people the most. The chief of the Battle Arena would not only get a reward from the princess, but also have a chance to improve.
The King's Princess, unparalleled beauty … The new chief couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement at this moment.
Finally, the gate of the palace opened, and a row of maids walked out to welcome him. They said sweetly, "New chief, go in, Her Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."
"I know." The new chief smiled, stood up and walked in with his head held high.
It was dark in front of him, and then it was bright again … The gate was closed at this moment. The new chief calmed himself down, only to see a beautiful and graceful girl standing in the room.
His heart warmed up, and he instantly felt his whole body heat up. Seeing the girl walking towards him with a smile, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Princess?" The girl chuckled at this moment, "I'm not the princess, I'm the Princess' personal maid … Where is the Princess?"
"Princess!" The new chief immediately looked up.
The screen was pushed open, and an ugly woman with thick skin and a bloated body … appeared in front of him at this moment.
… …
