Arad's Sword

Chapter 413 Horned King Sword

"Mr. Meady, what do you think of these?" Fortlin asked in an uncertain tone.

As a businessman, he is naturally very good at observing words and expressions, but now, Midi's expression is far from satisfactory.

However, it is naturally impossible for Midi to deny the other party again.

After all, he brought himself to the second floor and took out these precious weapons at the bottom of the box. Fortlin's sincerity was obvious. If he continued to pick and choose, it would not be a demand for quality, but a mere provocation.

Midi came here to buy things, not to make revenge, so although she still hesitated in her heart, she would not say it easily.

Perhaps, I should choose one of these three swords?
Midi was thinking secretly in her heart.

Since even the number one weapon shop in Menzoberranzan City can't fully meet my requirements, other weapon shops are even more impossible. Instead of wandering around to try your luck, it's better to make a decision here.

Or there is another way, which is to give up the two-handed giant sword and use a two-handed ax or a two-handed hammer instead.Among the two weapons, there should be a weight that can meet Midi's requirements.

Just as Midi was pondering, Fortlin coughed and said, "Mr. Midi, actually, there is still a sword. I think it may be able to meet your weight requirements."

The gray dwarf was also quite depressed. He could tell that the humans in front of him were obviously dissatisfied, but he was too embarrassed to say so.

But as the store manager of the number one "Dragon Spear" in Menzoberranzan, the duergar also has his own pride.

If it is said that the guest chose an inappropriate weapon for the sake of the face of "Dragon Spear", where will Futlin's self-confidence go?
Will he be able to greet guests with confidence in the future?
Therefore, Fortlin gritted his teeth and decided to take another gamble.

"There is still a sword?" Midi glanced at the other party with a little surprise.

"Yes." Fortlin sighed, looked at Midi again, and then said slowly, "However, let me say something ugly, it is a broken sword, and its origin is not very clear. The weight can meet your requirements, so don't think that my 'Dragon Spear' weapon store is lying."

To put it simply, Fortlin was unwilling to be responsible for the quality of that sword.

But this aroused Midi's curiosity instead, and he quickly replied: "That's natural, and I am the one who makes the final choice."

"Okay, since Mr. Midi has said so, then, bring that thing up!" The gray dwarf gestured.

Immediately, four strong shop assistants slowly lifted a huge two-handed sword out of the warehouse on the second floor.

As Fortlin said, this is a broken sword.

Its surface is covered with scars, and there are large areas of mottled shadows like rust. It looks like it is rusted. Not only that, but the blade of this great sword even presents a jagged shape.

This is chipping, a bigger problem than blunt blades.

It's as if this sword has been used to cut something too hard, or it is because the previous owner of this sword is too poorly skilled, which makes it suffer from such wear and tear.

"This thing was found in a dragon castle." Fortlin began to explain patiently.

The Dark Dragon City is the largest inheritance in the Underdark Region, and besides the Dragon City, there are many ruins hidden in the dimension, and these ruins also contain the breath of the Black Dragon.

It is said that the Dark Dragon City and these small ruins were originally supposed to be in a small world, but they fell apart for some reason.

Therefore, compared to the Dark Dragon City, these dimensional relics that contain the breath of a black dragon are called Dragon Castle.

"That was a big expedition, which was jointly initiated by several big families in Menzoberranzan, and it happened decades ago." Fortlin continued, "And in this expedition, this big guy, It is one of the gains. Because it is huge and heavy, and almost no sharp blade can cut it, so the adventurers at that time thought it was a good thing, so they tried their best to take it out and sent it to "Dragon Spear" Weapon shop for repairs."

"But it can't be repaired?" From the current state of the sword, Midi has already guessed the ending.

"Yes! It can't be repaired at all!" Fortlin shrugged his shoulders, showing a frustrated expression, "We tried various methods, invited alchemists, even great magicians, and black dragon priests, and used The magic circle, but not to mention the collapsed blade, even the rust-like stuff on it can't be cleaned! Finally..."

"Finally?" Midi looked at him curiously.

"In the end, this thing became a disgrace to the dragon gun. My predecessor had no choice but to buy this weapon to remind himself." The gray dwarf sighed deeply, "But the dragon gun weapon shop is It began to expand aggressively that year, and finally became the largest weapon store in Menzoberranzan."

"It's an inspirational story." Midi can only comment in this way, "However, let me see the sword itself."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and held the hilt of the broken sword with both hands.

Suddenly, an incomparably violent force poured into Midi's body along Midi's palm!
what is this?
Midi was taken aback, and instinctively wanted to let go of his hands, but then, he found that his hands seemed to be glued to the hilt of the sword, and he couldn't let go at all!
And the violent power gushing out from the sword actually began to resonate with the dragon blood in his body!
"That's it." Rotes' voice sounded, "Don't worry, it's okay."

"It's invading my body." Midi replied coldly, still trying to stop that berserk force with all her strength, but to no avail.

"That's better than intrusion, that's resonance." Rotes replied, "For example, no matter how high your magic resistance is, you can't resist a healing spell cast on your body? The dragon blood in your body is eager This power, so no matter how hard you toss it, it’s useless.”

"Could it be that this berserk power is also the breath of the black dragon?" Midi suddenly came to his senses.

"Looking at the appearance, even I can't tell it. However, you can detect it when you hold it. This is not an ordinary weapon. It is made of the horns of the horned dragon, one of the descendants of the black dragon. weapons." There was a faint approval in Rotes' tone.

Ceratosaurus, one of the sub-dragon species, but compared to the pterosaurs and double-headed pterosaurs in the sky and clouds, it is much stronger.

The reason is that the ancient dragon blood in the horned dragon's body is extremely strong.

And this rich blood essence is mainly condensed on the two indestructible horns on the head of the horned dragon.

The weapon made of these two horns will naturally resonate to some extent with Midi, who also has dragon blood flowing in her body.

It can even be said that the power in this giant sword is nourishing Midi's body, because the dragon blood in Midi's body is too thin.

The water flows down, and the strong one will be diluted by the thin one. Therefore, the power of the ancient dragon in this sword naturally began to flow into Midi's body.

"It seems that it is it." After figuring out the reason, Midi felt a sense of surprise in her heart.

In addition, the weight of the sword itself is sufficient, which meets Midi's requirements.

The only thing that worried him were the irreparable scars and cracks on the sword.

But according to Rotes, these scars cannot be repaired by magic, but can only be repaired bit by bit through the way of nourishing the dragon's breath.

Although the dragon blood in Midi's body is thin, it is living blood. After connecting with the broken sword, it will drive the dead power in the sword to circulate.

As long as Midi is using the great sword and regularly circulates the dragon's blood and dragon's power in his body, it will naturally be able to repair it.

During self-cultivation, weapons can also be repaired.

While repairing the weapon, it can also strengthen one's own blood.

Plus the weapon itself was exactly what Meddy wanted.

It can be said that getting this sword is equivalent to killing three birds with one stone!
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Midi's mind, and then, Midi's eyes sparkled, and with a sudden force of both arms, he directly lifted the heavy and broken sword.

"Very heavy!" For the first time, Midi gave such an evaluation.

As expected of a weapon made from the essence of horned dragons with strong bloodlines of ancient dragons, the density of this broken sword is astonishingly high, much higher than ordinary fine steel, and may even be higher than the extremely expensive mithril!
Even if such a big sword is broken, as long as it is smashed down, nothing can stop it.

And more importantly, Midi is confident and can handle this weapon well.

Now he feels heavy, that's because he is not familiar enough with this sword.

Once you have fully mastered its counterweight, center of gravity, air resistance when swinging, etc., it will not be a problem at all to use this great sword smoothly.

"Mr. Meady, what do you think?" Fortlin looked at the other party with a little apprehension, and then continued to exhort, "Also, I have the responsibility to remind you that maybe you value the weight of weapons very much, but once If a weapon has weight alone, it is not enough!"

"Thank you for your reminder, but this sword is very much to my liking, and that's it." Midi replied calmly, "Mr. Fortling, please make a price."

"This..." Although he didn't expect that Midi would really buy this weapon, after all, Fortlin was a businessman with a scheming plan, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately set the price for this broken sword.

This price is between the excellent weapons on the first floor and these top-quality weapons on the second floor. There is no fire sale, but it is definitely quite favorable.

However, Midi smiled slightly and shook his head: "Since it's the weapon I like, the price can't be so low. In my opinion, let's exchange it with this."

Midi said, and handed out a processed black dragon dust crystal.

This is the leftover material from the time when the dragon's breath potion was made for Galantis. It was slightly flawed, so it was not added to the potion. However, it is more than enough to put it here as payment.

Midi did this, of course, not to show off her wealth.

In fact, he was by no means rich.

Although a fortune was made by alchemy in the past few weeks, this piece of black dragon dust crystal plus the dragon's breath potion for Galantis has almost emptied Midi's family.

The reason for doing this is more to establish some relationship with the "Dragon Spear" weapon shop and the "Death Scorpion" family behind it, so as to facilitate future actions.

"By the way, Mr. Meady, this sword doesn't have a name yet. Since you've already bought it, you might as well give it a name." Fortlin suddenly thought of something, and said hastily.

"Let's call it the Great Sword of the Horned King." Midillo said after thinking about it.
