Chapter 17 (2/2)

After handing over thein, I parted with the peddler and went to the town blacksmith

One of the exa ht now is partly for training, so it's not well suited for real combat

I'm not sure if this exam requires that much preparation, but better safe than sorry

I haven't really checked the reputation of the blacksmiths here, but this place is the royal capitalThe coh to let a poor store survives

I should get soood stuff if I just randomly walk in a blacksht that

"Hmm?"

I muttered when I walked into some random blacksmith

The quality is terribleThe swords lined up inside the storeare indeed better than the sword I currently carry, but they are all of questionable qualityFurtheric at all

It'd have been understandable if they were swords made by apprentice blacksmiths

However, since I was an owner of production Crest inafter they started blacksold coinsJudging from the value of money the peddler told me, these aren't cheapI'm amazed that they could survive in the royal capital

I gave up on this store and went to the next oneI'd rather use a sword I forge myself than those swords

However, the next store and the store after that and the one after that were all the sa that has declined

If the next store is no good, I'd give up and forge one ht of that, I found a snboard is also quite small, normally you probably won't notice that it's a blacksht now it's easy to find this store

"I beg of you! The exam is tomorrow! Without a sword,voice from inside the blacks to the froirl

"I'd like noI can forge aloneGet it already"

"Please do so about that!"

I could hear another voice that sounded troubled (probably the storekeeper)

This se a swordthat, the swords displayed inside the shop caught oodThe swords in the first store can't even be compared to them

The current me probably can't reach those levels without any equipment

I can't pass this by

I went into the blacks a proper weapon
