"Is it that exaggerated? That's too heavy."

Jim picked up the two-handed sword with both hands: "Of course. Even among these greatswords, the thinnest blade weighs three or four times more than the most ordinary iron sword. This kind of weapon isn't for ordinary people, so it's not sold in Linchui Town."

However, Master "Iron Hammer" can forge greatswords; if you want one, you can have one custom-made by him, but the price will be much higher.

"How much exactly?" Lindsay asked.

"More than a hundred silver coins," he paused and continued, "If you think two-handed swords are too expensive, you can use half-handed swords. We have them in our shop for 30 silver coins."

A half-handed sword is a type of sword that falls between a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword. Lindsay now has the Brandt sword, so he doesn't plan to buy a half-handed sword for the time being.

As for the greatsword Jim introduced later, wow, the price of a greatsword is so high! No wonder he hasn't seen any other adventurers use it until now; it turns out that not only is the skill level in using the sword, but the price is also a factor.

Linssey may not be able to afford a greatsword right now, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to use it.

He found even wielding a two-handed sword difficult, let alone a greatsword. Seven points of strength weren't enough; he had no idea how much he needed.

It seems I need to find a way to focus on improving my strength attribute on the panel. Otherwise, I'll have great swordsmanship but won't be able to wield a two-handed sword. When facing powerful monsters in the future, a small, broken iron sword won't be enough.

Lindsay's gaze fell on the shields being sold in the blacksmith's shop.

"I already learned about the advantages and disadvantages of the three types of shields in the shop last time. Is there a shield that combines both ranged and melee defense, and is even better than a common wooden shield?"

After listening, blacksmith apprentice Jim thought for a moment and said, "Yes, for example, a giant shield. If you know how to use it, it's like a human fortress."

The giant shield, in Linsel's memory, was the shield used by the silver-level adventurer, the dwarf Ink.

"The giant shield must be too heavy. Is there a lighter one?"

Jim shrugged. "No, at least the blacksmith shop doesn't sell such good shields. You might be able to ask at the carpenter's shop in town."

A carpenter's shop? The original owner only knew that there was such a place in Linchui Town, and the carpenter's shop seemed to be not very famous. He would go and visit it in a while.

After asking about the shield, Lindsay became interested in the axe placed on the counter.

Now that I have money, I can buy an axe to practice my new skill. I also previously acquired a fragmented combat skill book about two-handed axes.

With the panel's support, once you master your specialty, it becomes a genuine skill that you won't forget.

Thinking about this, Linsel felt a sense of anticipation, hoping that he would be able to master all the weapons that humans could use in the future.

"This is a small one-handed hook axe in the display case, 7 silver coins. The one on top is a hand axe, 14 silver coins. As for the larger and heavier one-handed battle axe, they are the same and can be sold in the city."

At first glance, Linsel's one-handed hook axe looked a bit like a small wood-chopping axe, but it had a hook groove behind the blade, making it larger overall than a hand axe.

"What about two-handed axes? Are there other two-handed axes, like this long two-handed axe next to me?"

"That costs 60 silver coins. Of course, besides the long axe, our shop also sells two other types of two-handed axes: the coachman's long sickle axe and the thick-handled long-handled axe, which cost 18 silver coins and 80 silver coins respectively."

Jim tirelessly explained, and Lindsay looked at the coachman's long sickle axe placed in the corner he pointed to. It looked longer than a two-handed logging axe, and the blade was flatter.

"I'll take the coachman's sickle and axe."

This was the cheapest of the two-handed axes, and Lindsay decided to buy it for practice.

"Alright, you can take it now."

Linsset took out silver coins from his purse and slung the newly bought two-handed axe over his back, where he felt it was slightly heavy.

It seems that I can only carry a maximum of four pieces of equipment right now; any more than that and it will feel too heavy.

He had no choice but to take the two-handed axe in his hand and leave the blacksmith's shop, giving the long-handled sword to "Iron Hammer".

"Master 'Iron Hammer,' I'm going to reforge my Brand sword, hoping it will become even stronger."

The dwarf put down his hammer: "Have you thought it through? 12 silver coins, cash on delivery."

"Here, this is the money." Linsel counted out 12 more silver coins from his somewhat bulging purse.

"Okay, Lindsay, come pick up the goods in five days."

Since you have spare money, it's necessary to upgrade your polearm. After all, your current hardened iron sword is already sharp enough. Getting a hardened variant two-handed sword would be very useful against monsters with high hardness or defense.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Linsel passed through the town market and casually asked a few townspeople where the carpenter's shop was. He arrived at the carpenter's shop in less than ten minutes.

He saw that in the wooden hut next to the carpenter's shop, there was a dwelling for the "goat".

It turned out that the carpenter's shop was right next to the middle-aged adventurer's house, something I had never noticed before.

The carpenter's shop looked very similar to the surrounding log cabins, except for a small sign with a saw pattern printed on it above the entrance.

Linsset pushed open the wooden door and found that the cabin was filled with a large amount of wood.

He smelled an oily odor, but couldn't quite place it, and at the same time, he heard the sound of a saw.

The cabin had two wooden doors, one at the front and one at the back. Linsel pushed open the back door and saw a small courtyard. A middle-aged man with graying hair was sawing a long piece of wood with a hacksaw.

The man, who looked to be in his fifties, also noticed Lin Sai entering. Without turning his head, he casually said, "Guest, I'm Devon, the owner of the carpentry shop."

"The fact that you found my carpentry shop means you know this town very well. So, tell me, is your farm tool broken or do you need furniture repaired?"

Lin Sai looked around at the rest of the courtyard: "No, I'm an adventurer. I wanted to see if the carpenter's shop sells shields or crossbows."

"Yes, yes, carpentry shops sell these."

The carpenter, named Devin, stopped sawing and invited Linssey into the small house in the yard.

"Come inside and take a look at the equipment."

Linsel entered the room and saw no shields, but bows and crossbows of various sizes appeared in his field of vision on the walls and cabinets.

"Where's the shield?"

When Devon heard Lindsay's question, he laughed and said, "Yes, we have shields, but in the warehouse, the shields sold in my carpentry shop are all made of wood. We don't sell iron shields."
