Vol 1 Chapter 4 (2/2)
“I’ve been here before, sir Also, your shop is very well known around here”
“Well, isn’t that kind of you By the way, if I ely-dressed friend of yours?”
I guess that only made sense In this other world, they would think e I probably looked like a budom, or just a crazy person
“I think you already know the answer to that, sir”
“You mean… you’re one of the… the Heroes? Wow!”
The an to look me over carefully
“He doesn’t really look that strong”
I couldn’t believe my ears!
“Tell me how you really feel! Geez!”
But the old guy was right I really didn’t look like I would do anyone er
“Listen up, Hero-Boy If you don’t get yourself some decent equipment, the other adventurers ipe the floor with you”
“I suppose…”
I kind of liked the guy He seemed honest
“Looks like you got the short stick?”
I felt ossip spread this quickly? Whatever I shouldn’t ad
“I ah from here on out, so I’ve coressive way to introduce myself, but I had to convince myself too
“Mr Naofuular of sorts around here Let’s see e can do!”
He was an auy, to be sure
Myne walked over and spoke up “Hey, sir, don’t you have any good equipment for my friend here?”
“I’?”
“Well…”
Myne was looking me over in some sort of appraisal
“We could probably spend up to 250 pieces”
We only had 800 to start with, and ere preparing to spend 250 on equiph for inns and food, and for recruiting other party members?
“Thatover here,” said the owner, as he walked around the shop and pulled various weapons from their spaces on the wall
“Tell me, kid You have a favorite kind of weapon?”
“Not yet”
“If so, then I’d recoinners” He proceeded to set a number of swords out on the counter “All of these are coated with Blood Clean, so they’re pretty easy to handle”
“Blood Clean?”
“Gore and blood on a blade will erode the edge,upkeep more difficult These swords don’t have that problem”
“Wow…”
I was surprised, but thinking on it for a minute, I realized that even in e after cutting through meat I suppose hetime I stared at the swords for a short tiher quality than any of the replica swords I’d seen before They looked like serious weapons
“Those are, in order: Iron, Magic Iron, Magic Steel, and Silver Iron They get o, but the increase in quality is tremendous”
Were they hardened to different degrees based on the ore used in their production? It seemed they were all made from iron
“There are also weapons of higher quality, but in the 250 range, this is really what you’ve got to pick from”
I’d heard of things like this before It was just like a video gaood weapons available This shop, however, seemed to have a really wide variety That ain, this WASN’T a game In the real world, in any real world, the weapon shops in the capitol were sure to have good ht?
“An iron sword… Hmmm…”
I took one of theh, it was very heavy The shi+eld I carried was so light that I took little notice of it, but these weapons had significant heft I’d have to use theht any monsters we encountered…
“Woah!”
Suddenly, as if receiving an electric shock, the iron sword I was holding flew out of my hand
“Huh?”
The shop owner and Myne were both looking at me, and then at the shere it lay I reached for the sword again, assue had happened at all Just as that?
I ondering what had happened when the pain ca back up my arm
“Ouch!”
What was going on? I glared at the owner, thinking he , but he shook his head I didn’t think that Myne would want to interfere with me, but just to be safe I looked over at her as well
“It looked like it just flew out of your hand”
But it couldn’t be… It just couldn’t I stared at an to appear in my periphery
“Legendary Weapon specification: a weapon besides the assigned equip the rule”
What the hell?
I rushed to bring up the help screen and read quickly through the articles there
I found it!
“The Heroes endary Weapon, with the intent to fight with it”
What?! Was that supposed toother than a shi+eld in battle? What kind of crappy gaht with a shi+eld?
“Well,” I said, wincing and raising my face to the others “It looks like I’m only allowed to use a shi+eld…”
“But why? Can you let me see that?”
I held my shi+eld arm out to the shop owner, but that was all I could do, as I was still unable to put the shi+eld down
The old guy whispered soht shot toward my shi+eld, only to bounce off harmlessly “Well,” he said “It certainly looks like a normal Small shi+eld… but it behaves…”
“Oh, do you know it?” I asked
The shi+eld was also called a Sendary Weapon” added in parentheses to the side
“You see this jewel lodged in the center of the shi+eld? I feel a great a into it with lean any information If it was sohed and looked athis trade interesting I guess you’ll be wanting sooods?”
“Yes, please”
“I’d like to give you what I can for 250, which probably means a suit of armor”
Considering I already had a shi+eld, I had to agree with him
The owner pointed to a variety of armor suits that he had around the shop
“Full plate armor tends to inhibit your ardless, chaininner, anyway”
I reached for a suit of chainmail It rattled and clinked in uess that was it though Was that all he had to offer?
An icon was flashi+ng at me, and I quickly opened it
Chainmail: raises defensive power
Use: slice resistance
Size: small
Ah hah No information came up when I touched the swords because I was unable to equip them
“How much does this cost?” Myne asked the owner
“I’ll give you a discount You can have it for 120”
“What could we get for it?”
“Het 100 or so”
“Why’s that?”
“I was asking because if the shi+eld Hero outgrows it, we could probably sell it back”
I was starting to understand I was still at level one, so as I leveled up, I would be able to equip better things,this chain It looked like the shop had better armor available, but that was about the best I could do at my current level
“All right then, we’ll take it”
“Thank you very ratitude”
We said our thanks, passed 120 silver pieces over to him, and received the chainmail
“Will you change into that here?”
“Yes”
“Very well, right over here”
He led ed into the undershi+rt and chain and packed it away into a sack for me
“Hey now! You’re starting to look the part, lad!”
“Thank you”
I guess he was trying to say so nice
“All right then, Hero Shall we be off to battle?”
“Right on!”
I was starting to feel like a real adventurer when Myne and I left the shop
We ate On our way through, a knight bent his head to ood
How exciting! My adventure was finally beginning
