When shopkeeper Ming inserted the unique key into the keyhole, the entire inner hall floor began to shake slightly, and then the door roared, and the sound of "click, click, click, click, click" kept coming from the machine on the door, and the cold sound The majestic door opened in response. It was dark as night inside the door, without any light, but the moment the door opened, the oil lamps kept lighting up, and the entire warehouse became clear.
The warehouse is not big, but the six rows of shelves are filled with weapons of all kinds, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, sticks and whips, hammers, axes, axes, hooks, sickles, bows, and even many weapons that cannot be named. Among them, swords, spears, halberds, sticks, axes, and axes were the most numerous, occupying five shelves. All kinds of weapons, including swords, could only fit most of the shelves together.
This shows how unpopular the sword is in this world, and how few people use the sword! Shopkeeper Ming led Yiran towards the shelf where the long swords were placed. There were only about thirty long swords on the shelf, half of which were heavy swords. Seeing that there were only ten long swords, Shopkeeper Ming obviously felt a little bit embarrassed. With a smile on his face, he said, "Very few use this kind of light sword. There are more ordinary first-level ones, and there are also some in the hall. But there are only thirteen top-level first-level or even second-level ones. As for the third-level ones, they may only be found in the treasury." ”
Shopkeeper Ming walked to the shelf and picked up a long sword. He touched the shining sword and continued, "There are very few people who use long swords, and most of them are strong men who made them by themselves. Therefore, the standard long swords are Very rarely, the eight top-level first-level long swords here are the standard long swords from the palace, and the other five second-level long swords are obtained by some senior children. Because they were not used, they were sold to the trade. So, just putting it here will collect dust." Shopkeeper Ming couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly.
If such a second-level long sword were placed in the arena, it would be considered a complete magical weapon, and it would be enough to cause a bloody storm in the arena. Moreover, there are many people in the world who use swords. These swordsmen regard the sword in their hands as more important than their own lives. But in the spiritual practice world, very few people are willing to take a look at it, so they can only put it on a shelf collecting dust.
After all, the world of martial arts and spiritual practice are two different worlds!
Looking at Shopkeeper Ming's movements, Yi Ran knew that Shopkeeper Ming was also a sword user, otherwise he wouldn't have felt lonely after seeing the sword covered in dust.
And under the light, Yiran could clearly see the calluses on the tiger's mouth of Shopkeeper Ming's right hand, the palm of his hand and the pads of his four fingers. How sad it is for a swordsman to see his sword lying empty and about to get rusty.
He gently rubbed and rubbed the three-foot sword with his left hand. Although it was not his own accessory, Shopkeeper Ming was reluctant to put it down. He even forgot that he brought the child behind him to choose a weapon.
After a while, shopkeeper Ming came back to his senses and said to Yiran, "This first-class standard long sword is worth two gold coins. The sword weighs two kilograms and three taels, making it the lightest of all standard weapons. The sword body is exquisite. A double-edged sword forged from iron is as sharp as a sword, and a sword that has been tempered a hundred times can cut iron as finely as clay."
"It's just that if this kind of weapon is placed in the world, it will be enough to drive those masters crazy, but in our opinion, it is of little significance. Facing the powerful body of the Warcraft, the damage caused by the light sword is too small."
"My friend, are you sure you want to choose the light sword?"
Yiran nodded and looked at the thirteen long swords on the shelf. There is no difference between the eight standard long swords, but the remaining five swords are different. Shopkeeper Ming immediately introduces them.
The word "Demon" is engraved on the hilt of this sword, so it's called the "Demon Sword". The sword weighs seven pounds and eighty taels, is longer and harder than the standard sword, and is almost like a heavy sword. The body of the sword is made of fine iron and the hilt is made of ebony. There is a second-level wind magic core embedded in the ebony, making the sword lighter. It is because of the existence of this magic core that this sword can advance to the second level.
The second sword has no engravings on the blade. The blade is also made of fine iron and the handle is ebony. However, the blade of this sword has been forged at least two hundred times and is three points heavier than the top swords of the first level. The sword body has fewer impurities, and its material is like a second-level weapon.
The third sword is rather special. The blade is engraved with complicated patterns and the carving is extremely exquisite. At first glance, it is not a weapon made by ordinary people. The sword exudes a faint fire energy, giving the long sword made of fine iron a warm touch. This is a long sword made of fine iron with fire element ores added to it. It is a legitimate magic sword.
The fourth sword is just like the third sword, except that the tentacles are colder than fine iron, like holding ice cubes. Apparently this sword was made from a fusion of water element ore and refined iron.
The fifth sword is a soft sword. Fewer people use this kind of sword, it is almost rare. The sword body is made of fine gold mixed with fine iron, making the sword thinner and softer. This sword only weighs one pound and two taels, and is almost like nothing in the hand. Shopkeeper Ming picked up the sword and waved it gently. The sword kept twisting and shaking, and almost disappeared under the light. There may be women in the world who use this kind of weapon, but the monks of the Principality have never seen anyone use this kind of weapon. And this weapon has been stored in this warehouse for ten years!
Listening to shopkeeper Ming's introduction, Yiran also thought carefully. In the ranking competition, I can be modest and say that even if I don't take first place, I can definitely enter the top ten. I can definitely have a weapon tailor-made for myself. Even though that weapon does not have the second level, it is still better than these weapons, because it is my own weapon!
But considering that now even if this weapon is eliminated, it can be melted into fine iron and recast, it is not a waste. In the end, Yiran chose the second level 2 pure iron long sword. It weighed three kilograms and was neither heavy nor light in the hand. It was just right. He casually performed three basic moves and then sheathed his sword, making Shopkeeper Ming feel itchy as he watched.
Shopkeeper Ming only regretted that he was no longer young and could only spend his old age in depression in this exchange with his old body.
I used to be as passionate as this young man, with high morale for my future, and I was also known as a genius. I broke through to the Great Samurai level a few years after graduating from the academy at a young age. At the risk of being criticized by thousands of people, he chose the three-foot green blade and cut through thorns and thorns to kill countless first-order monsters. He used his own meritorious deeds to silence those who had accused him of using his long sword to take advantage of the situation.
Originally, his cultivation level had steadily increased, and he became a general guarding the border town with the Wuquan Principality. In a small-scale confrontation, he was ambushed by the enemy and eventually killed several enemy monks of the same level. However, he was seriously injured in a sneak attack. Even though he had supported his comrades to come to his aid, the surprise attack hurt his heart. From then on, it was difficult for him to make further progress in his martial arts cultivation, and the long sword that had accompanied him for decades in that battle was broken into several pieces and buried under the city wall.
Later, he never picked up a sword of his own, and the city lord of the border town sent him to the martial arts academy based on his past achievements and became the shopkeeper of the exchange. In this way, we can watch the generations of children in the First Martial Arts Academy continue to grow, watch them pick up their own weapons and embark on their own journey.
Whenever I see a child choosing to use a sword as a weapon, I feel like I am looking at my own junior. He must face the strange looks of countless people and use the three-foot sword in his hand to tell them that although the sword is short, his sword power is long, and he should use the three-foot sword to achieve supreme merit.
Yi Ran casually used three basic sword skills, and felt that the sword was very handy, but he didn't pay attention to shopkeeper Yi Ming's penetrating gaze. In the dark warehouse, only the sound of the sword swinging through the wind could be heard clearly. The two were silent for a long time, but Yi Ran spoke first.
"Shopkeeper Ming, this sword is not bad. I wonder how much money it will cost?"
"Five gold coins. Such as..."
Before Ruzi could speak, Yiran took out five gold coins and handed them to Shopkeeper Ming, then turned around and left, leaving behind a young and strong figure. Shopkeeper Ming was left laughing at himself.
In fact, this sword has the highest value among all second-level long swords because its blade has been forged more than two hundred times. Although no other special materials are added, it is suitable for more people. Originally, these second-level ordinary weapons were worth about eight gold coins, but this sword was worth ten gold coins!
This half price is the greatest kindness shown by shopkeeper Shi to the children who also use swords. And the unspoken sentence is "If you don't have enough money, use it first, and then pay it off when you have enough money!"
Because just from those three sword moves, Shopkeeper Shi, who was proficient in this art, discovered that although Yi Ran was still immature in wielding a sword, he was meticulous and controlled the sword moves like a master. This must be possible because he has trained countless basic moves. Moreover, this Yiran only said to buy the sword but did not sell it, which shows that this sword is likely to be the child's first sword.
Although he will most likely never go to the battlefield or pick up a sword again, the legacy of using the sword will be passed down forever like a spark. I will always be the one who continues to work hard for the inheritance of the sword.
Yi Ran quickly walked out of the warehouse, put the sword into the space ring, and then walked towards the training room. In fact, Yiran had long discovered that Shopkeeper Ming had a strange attitude towards her. She knew the reason when she saw the calluses on Shopkeeper Ming's hands and the way he picked up the long sword and stroked it in the warehouse. Shopkeeper Ming is a master of swordsmanship, but I don’t know why he became the shopkeeper of the exchange. The sword he was holding was priced at ten gold coins on the shelf. Although the lights were dim and the price was covered in dust, it was difficult for ordinary people to see clearly, but Yi Ran saw it.
As for what shopkeeper Ming continued to say, Yiran could also guess some of it. After all, a child of his size must be a commoner who needs to go to the exchange to buy a sword. It is quite difficult to earn a few gold coins.
Therefore, Yiran immediately took out the gold coins and handed them to Shopkeeper Ming. He did not want to receive any more favors. His future needed to be worked out with his own hands, rather than relying on others' charity and favors.
If others take care of you with kindness, you should also return kindness with kindness. Rather than the other party intending to help, he will accept it all.
When he came to the door of the training room, he said hello to Instructor Li Qi. The two of them were already very familiar with each other. Li Qi also knew that Yiran was a commoner disciple in his grandniece's class, and was completely envious of Yiran's evil talent.
Because he learned from his grandniece Li Yiyi who came back that Yiran's cultivation had reached the level of a seven-star warrior, and he could kill the injured first-order peak magic beast Dryland Demon Dragon. This shows that Yiran's strength has reached the peak level of a warrior. Li Qi even suspected that the academy's year-end martial arts competition rules were changed just for Yiran!
"Boy Yi Ran, are you going to practice in the Nine Stars Training Room for an hour today? If you work harder, you might be able to enter the top 100 in the college rankings. Thinking about it, a first-year freshman enters the top 100 in the college. It's a bit exciting and exciting. .”
"Teacher Li Qi, I am going to practice swordsmanship in the Seven Stars Battle Room today. I have practiced swordsmanship for five days and today I chose a long sword."
After listening to what Yiran said, Li Qi frowned. Yiran actually learned swordsmanship, and couldn't help but blame Huang Zhan for not stopping him. But with a smile on his face, he said, "Boy Yiran, why did you choose a long sword as a weapon? This long sword is not very practical on the battlefield."
Yi Ran smiled freely, "No matter what weapon I use, it still depends on the person. As long as I am strong, the sword will naturally be stronger. It is me who is strong, not the sword!"
After listening to what Yiran said, Li Qi didn't expect that Yiran had seen so clearly and had such amazing ideas. Li Qi, who fell into confusion, later even forgot how to give the battle crystal to Yiran and how to collect money from Yiran.
