43 Finding Treasure in a Dump! Pt. 3 (2/2)

”No, I appreciate you showing us your wares,” I tell him.

Focusing on the item a screen appears.

「A Marionette crafted from the body of a blue ghost mermaid queen, only found within certain parts of the world dungeon unwater caverns! This was forged by the great drawven blacksmith Hargin. 」

What an interesting item, just how was it forged out of someone from the mermaid race. Although, it did say that it was a ghost, perhaps some sort of monster.

”Let's move to the next,” I say.

”Here,” the gramps says simply.

The item inside the next box was simple and a wand, although, I could feel a lot of MP in it. I had no design or desire for it. That wasn't the sort of weapon that suited me.

Neither was the one that followed after it, a set of three pistols. Although they were beautiful and were unlike the pistol that I used to. Plus, I didn't see myself handling guns.

However, Silvyr face lit up like a light.

I almost burst out laughing, he was so set on not letting this gramps impress him. Yet, he'd been overtaken when he'd seen the pistols.

”How about these two items lil lass,” the gramps says.

He pushes the last two boxes towards me.

These boxes are bigger than the other boxes that he'd presented earlier.

It felt like all the heat had been sucked out of my body when I peered into the first box, it was a long halberd. The pole was made of milk-white metal, and it seems to glitter with a frosty disposition.

The blade was an inky black that has a sharply pointed ax, and coming out of the back of the blade are blades that look like bird wings.

It was ominous but beautiful, I run my fingers along the blade and smile at the icy feeling it was mixed with warmth. Yet, it was buried underneath the freezing cold.

I pull my slightly frozen finger from the blade.

「Forged with the bone of a frost king, the pole has the freezing nature and properties of the monster it was taken from. The blade of the sword was crafted from iron influenced with the blood of a blackened bird of prey. Hence the bird-like wings that branch out from the main blade.」

”What do you say, Lass? Ya' gonna try yer' luck with this blade?” He asks me with a crooked grin.

I wanted to laugh, it appears that I got too excited and let it show. That was a mistake on my part.

”Let's see the last one gramps!” I grin.

”Gramps?” He questions.

I don't comment and turn my attention to the last box, it wasn't as long as the box that housed the halberd, but this one still had a rather large weapon within it.

They're battle gauntlets within the box. They're a mixture of red and purple. They look similar to that of dragon scales, however, they're fundamentally different. I don't feel the same energy radiating from the gauntlet as my armor.

Running a finger over them, I felt a soft heartbeat seem to flutter in them.

「Made from the heart of a five-hundred-year-old dragon salamander. Fundamentally different from Dragons, they still have a shred of dragonic mana in them. It's also been combined with a blood plum egg. These preserve the heart of the creature within the gauntlets, allowing for the user to draw on the skills of the Dragon Salamander!」

Oh... that's why they still have a heartbeat in them.

Standing back, I look at all the weapons that have appeared in front of me. They're all impressive in their own rights, but just what shall I buy?

”Gramps! I'll buy the pistols and the fans,” Silvyr says with a determined look.

”Oh, since when did my weapons seem like anything but a scammer trick?” The old man taunts.

A flustered expression appears on his face and he tries to retort but falls short.

Poor Silvyr.

”How much?” He asks.

”For ya lad, it'll be five thousand gold,” the old man says with a crooked grin.

”F-five thousand?” Silvyr asks.

”Indeed, I use top-notch materials ya hear. Pay up lad, I'm already doing you a deal so cheap,” he says with a shrug.

I felt my own stomach turn at the price.

”Gramps how much for the halberd, gauntlets and the marionette?” I ask before Silvyr can respond.

”Twelve thousand gold,” he says without blinking.

I wanted to cough up blood, he was really a scammer! But at the same time I couldn't argue these weapons were top notch.

Well let the war begin for price!
