73 Divine Weapon with Demonic Edge! (2/2)
“I do! State a price!” Ye Xiao nodded affirmatively.
“Well…” The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, “Forgive me, sir. They are not something that can be exchanged with money. Before Shen Lianzi passed away, he said that these were Divine Weapons with Demonic Edge; one who was not a monarch should not use them. They are weapons of the monarch. Once they meet the right person, they will be revealed and start killing in the world. He said that once the right person appeared, we shall charge him nothing for them; otherwise, they shouldn’t be sold for even ten thousand golds. We only hope that… The right one will return us a favor in the future whenever the Divine Arms Mill makes a mistake because of offending someone or if we fall into trouble.”
When speaking, the shopkeeper was somehow indifferent.
[Such defective items are actually called… the weapon of the monarch?
How ridiculous!
It was apparently an excuse for the fact that they were impossible to sell because of the flaw.
Fine. Since it was the words of a deceased person and luckily the man in front of me has a crazily high standard that disdains everything, I will just present him.
They are not gonna be sold out within a thousand years anyway.
Making friends with a valuable man shouldn’t be a mistake!]
However, after hearing what the shopkeeper had said, Ye Xiao was rather motivated.
He stared at the needles and knives for a long time.
[Divine Weapon with Demonic Edge!
Weapon of the monarch!
What does that mean?]
It reminded him of his title in the previous life: the Xiao Monarch!
[The monarch!
Does it mean I, the monarch? Or a monarch of the mortal world?]
He took a closer look at those dedicated items that were sending out endless senses of hostility. He had a feeling, [These are not some defective items!
Nor some unfinished pieces that were casually made!
That departed smith, Shen Lianzi… He must have spent all his energy on these 120 pieces of weapons!
And that had led him to death when he finally finished these fantastic pieces!
These are the true most precious items of the Divine Arms Mill!
The true divine weapons!
Yet he had left such a strange message. Present?
Did this Shen Lianzi see through the destiny? And he wanted to use these items to seek an opportunity to leave the Divine Arms Mill a chance of survival?]
He collected his thoughts for a long time and then said blandly, “Since master Shen Lianzi had left such words, and I like this set of weapons a lot, then… if someday the Divine Arms Mill offends me… I will spare you for good!”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.
[The guy talks with such smugness… He actually climbs up along the pillar I made [1]… Spare us? Who do you think you are? Such a…
I am speechless!]
However, it was the last word of a deceased master, and it was restated by himself, so there was no way to deny it even if he wanted to. So at the moment, his face looked like he had just swallowed shxt.
Ye Xiao smiled and put the needles and knives into his clothes.
108 needles and 12 knives, all together, were packaged only with a small bag.
“That spear. I will take it too.” Ye Xiao pointed at the spear.
The spear was for another intent. He once heard Su Yeyue said that her father, the Prince Hua-Yang, was the best at using the spear. The amount of weapons in his house could nearly fill up an entire weapon shop, and most of them were spears.
As he previously heard, he knew that the Prince Hua-Yang must have no proper weapon!
Because… one weapon was enough if it was a proper one. A man doesn’t need to keep that many weapons.
This time, the battle was in the south. The Prince Hua-Yang would soon join the battle. Therefore, when Ye Xiao saw the spear, he had a plan. He prepared to give it to the Prince Hua-Yang as a gift for nothing but all these years’ secret protection…
To give him a spear was something worth doing.
