Chapter 983: Tri-Ashura Realm (2/2)
Sam took a look at the swords and sabers that were hung on the wall.
He touched them and checked the craftsmanship. Even though he couldn't say they are exceptional, they are not actually bad. What is lacking in them is the soul of the craftsman. There are no flaws in the weapon if it was looked at in a pure physical fashion, but as he touched it, he could feel that it is lacking something.
To put it simply, it looked like a printed text on paper. It is good to read and can be understood, the text would serve its purpose, but a weapon should be like a handwritten note.
One should be able to understand what the writer is going through when writing this. That is what's missing in these weapons. The maker didn't find their own style in weapons and purely followed the principles as they are, which made the final product look empty giving the wielder the same feeling.
But they would still serve their purpose and they have their own uses. For example for a puppet that is designed to wield blades, this type of sword is perfect.
Sam picked a rapier and examined it for a while, before nodding in satisfaction. Currently, a new model puppet is being made in the factories. This type of rapier might be a perfect fit for that.
”How many of these rapiers do you have?”
The two women were stunned and didn't manage to comprehend the situation for a second and Sam repeated his question.
”How many rapiers do you have?”
The two women came back to their senses and said.
”Currently, in the shop, we have around thirty.”
”I will take them all. I would take those short swords too. Give me as many as you have.”
Sam paid for them and looked around while they took the products.
Even though he came to get information, this is an unexpected gain. Every artisan he has under him has a different style and most of the swords and weapons he used for the puppets are mostly machine-made and he doesn't need these things, but still, these weapons might open a door for him to reach out to the sect.
As Sam is watching the weapons, another man came in. He is a demon and he has emerald eyes.
”Hello, Sir. It seems like you are new to this realm. This shop doesn't have any quality products. Nobody buys here. Not even a single local. Our shop is next door. You can come and take a look.”
He spoke to Sam as soon as he entered and the two women immediately became flustered.
Sam is the first customer in a long while, they couldn't afford to lose him. Sam understood their expressions and said with a reassuring smile.
”Don't worry, I am looking for this exact type of sword. I know what I am doing.”
The demon tried to persuade him even more but Sam didn't respond and he couldn't help but leave.
Sam took the swords into his storage and said.
”I have an advice for your artisan. Tell her to not worry about the final product and the correctness of the process too much. There is no such thing as a proper and absolute procedure to do something. Tell her to enjoy the process of making it.
Her weapon has no physical flaws, but sometimes being flawless might not make it the best.
And give you Sect leader my regards. Tell her that a human named Sam wants to make a deal if she is interested.
I would be staying in a fifteenth room of the Black blood Inn.
Finally, you two should improve your salesman skills. Your etiquette is alright, but you should never let someone from outside approach your customer and you should be more confident in explaining your products. You should take the initiative.
You are not proactive at all.”
With that Sam left the shop and went back to the inn.
