Chapter 239: Six Headed Snake Twin Daggers (1/2)
”Hehehehe...” Charlotte awkwardly scratched her head.
”Nevermind, just come and follow me, let's go and choose your weapon.” Leo replied as he heaves a sigh of helplessness before following behind Gretchen who was currently motioning for him and Charlotte to follow after.
Charlotte heaves a sigh of relief before quickly following behind Leo. Fortunately, in front of Gretchen, Leo seemed to have become a little bit kinder.
Moving the cloth covering the room at the side of the counter, Leo and Charlotte were immediately greeted by an even larger weapon room.
”This is where all of the members of the Mischievous Lion organization choose their weapons. Not only are they custom made, but they also have a lot of hidden mechanisms,” Leo explained before taking out a sword, ”This sword is like that Headguard's sword from before.”
*Shing!
Suddenly, the sword split into two, immediately turning into two swords.
”It can split into two, and not only that...”
*Cling!
A hidden compartment under the two swords opens up before a dagger suddenly appeared out.
”It can also have a dagger. So, if ever someone tries to pull your sword away from you, you can simply press this button and it will turn into a double-edged weapon, bringing down with you your opponent.” Leo finished explaining the sword before returning it to how it was before and putting it back above the table.
Seeing Leo showing all sort of mechanism to the sword, Charlotte finally understands where that Headguard suddenly took out a second sword to behead the henchman. That Headguard doesn't have any Storage Ring nor was he wearing a sheath for an extra sword, yet he was actually able to have another sword. It was really out of nowhere that he suddenly got himself another sword. But now, she finally understands how.
”You also see that Scythe?” Leo pointed at a big scythe hanged onto a wall, ”Although that only has its sharp edge at the left, it can actually spin and turn to the right, middle, and back. It can even go up and down if ever your opponent tries to duck away from your attack. Oh, and it can also have a sharp point edge at the top like a spear.”
”That Battle Axe can also do the same...”
”Those daggers have a chain at their bottom, so you can use that to climb up any buildings if ever you want to.”
”In short, practically everything here is so amazing and great. That's why Gretchen is called Aries, a name for the God of War.” Leo concluded.
Suddenly, Gretchen slowly approached them while holding a box as she said, ”Stop sugar coating my name in hopes of having a discount. You should know that I don't do that here. Even Queen Olivia can't get any discount from me, so not to mention you. By the way, check those twin daggers, see if it is to your liking.”
Charlotte received the box before opening it slowly and carefully. Inside the box was a twin dagger that looked like 6 twisting snakes trying to reach something at the very top. It was beautiful, but unfortunately, it looked really delicate, hence easy to destroy due to having plenty of holes all around the dagger.
Without bothering with the design, Charlotte picked up the Twin Dagger before trying it on, swinging it around the place and feeling it with her body.
”This is really great. In fact, I feel like this Twin Dagger is perfectly suited for me. But, in my opinion, wouldn't it become fragile because of its design?” Charlotte can't help asking.
”Don't let the design obstruct your opinion of this weapon. Although it looked extremely weak and fragile, the materials used to craft that Six Headed Snake Twin Daggers is actually a Magic Iron for durability, Lightning Ore to make it have a lightweight despite using Magic Iron hence a fast attack, 24 kinds of Uncommon Magic Crystal Dust to further enhance its durability to physical and also to Magic attack, to enhance its lethality, and lastly, it was bath inside a Six Headed Snake's Poison Sack while undergoing its smithing instead of a water, hence it will inflict poison to your opponent.” Gretchen explained.
”Though if that is still not to your liking, then how about another version of that?” Gretchen took out another box under the cabinet, ”But instead of Magic Iron, this one is made out of Earth Dragon Scale.”
”What's the difference?” Leo suddenly asked.
”Its durability is even tougher, its- ”Gretchen wanted to explain further, Leo quickly cut her off.
”I meant the price.”
”Oh, this one is five times more expensive than the Six Headed Snake Twin Dagger made with Magic Iron.”
”Be more specific.”
”100,000 gold coins.”
Charlotte at the side was immediately dumbfounded after hearing the price. All throughout the years she had been traveling, of course before being captured and turned into a slave, the most expensive weapon she had ever seen was only priced around the 4 digits of gold coins and the cheapest was around 6 digits of silver coins. This was her first time seeing a 6 digit gold coins priced weapon. If that is the case already for the Earth Dragon Scale one, then the Magic Iron would be priced in 5 digits nonetheless, which is still considered very expensive, at least in her opinion.
”Leo, I don't want this, let's choose something else instead.” Charlotte didn't hesitate to dissuade Leo. Although she likes the weapon, there are still others who needed their own Magic weapons as well. Additionally, she can't just accept a weapon as expensive as this one, even if she is now Leo's slave. After all, no matter how good she is, the only thing she knows about is fighting. She can't be Leo's shield, or rather a protector, only his sword. And in her own opinion, Leo doesn't really need a sword that much because he's also growing much more powerful every single day. And not to mention, aside from them, specifically Ash, Chief Lago, and the four Leaders, his army also needed an upgrade to their equipment.
