Chapter 225 The Ominous Sword
Just when I was about to ridicule Harold about his mission and rank, three soft knocks came from the door. Then, a polite voice said: "Master, Mr. Patch has finished selecting." , waiting in the main hall now."
"Okay, I'll be there right away," Harold replied.
He put down the cup, stood up, and said, "Okay, we should get ready to go."
I regretted not taking the dig at Harold, but I was more curious about what three items old Patch would pick out for me.
Following Harold out the door and down the stairs, he saw old Patch rubbing his hands together on the sofa in the middle, with a look of greed and excitement on his face.
"Hey, expert, have you chosen so quickly?"
Old Patch raised his head and saw Harold and I coming down. He smiled mischievously and said, "That's it. Who am I, Patch? I can't pick the three best things at my fingertips!"
I was very happy: "Then I really want to take a closer look and see what the old experts have chosen for me."
"Just take a look, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Old Patch's face once again showed the look of a treacherous businessman.
On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there are three things: a necklace, a bracelet, and a small sword.
The necklace is made of amethyst, which is purple-red all over. At first glance, it seems to have a captivating charm. Each piece of amethyst is completely natural, with no trace of artificial engraving. The threads connecting the amethyst pieces are not ordinary silk threads. Rather, it is an extremely long mithril thread.
I have heard about this kind of mithril. It is said that it is extremely tough after forging. Even if it is as thin as spider silk, it is still comparable to steel bars. Even if you chop it with a sharp weapon, you may not be able to damage it at all.
Based on this alone, this amethyst necklace is already worth a lot of money.
Moreover, it is said that the amount of mithril mined is extremely low, and even the royal family may not be able to have one. I really don’t understand how Harold got such a precious thing.
I glanced at Harold and saw that his face was as ugly as a ferocious ghost. If he hadn't had the promise and cultivation there, he would have broken his promise completely even if he didn't hesitate to kill people.
From this point of view, these three things are indeed treasures. Old Patch is really discerning!
I glanced at Old Patch with approval. The old man looked at me proudly and proudly.
I continued to look at the coffee table. Next to the amethyst necklace, there was a bracelet.
The bracelet is all green and exudes a light coolness. At first glance, your eyes are immersed in it, as if you are in the clear water, refreshing and cool.
The piece of jade used to make the bracelet must be a good piece of jade, but is it really as valuable as the necklace next to it?
I looked at old Patch in confusion.
Old Patch pointed to the bracelet and explained: "This bracelet has a lot of history. If I didn't make a mistake, this should be something that the legendary hero wore -"
He said word by word: "Bi, Tao, Cang, Lang."
I saw Harold's eyebrows raised, and he became nervous: "How could you know? Who are you!"
The last sentence was simply a question. Not only was the tone serious, but the whole person took a big step forward.
Old Patch trembled with fright, jumped up, and said with a trembling voice: "You, what are you going to do?"
"Who are you?" Harold's expression was serious, and his eyes were full of shock and suspicion.
"I, I'm just a blacksmith, don't, don't kill me!" As he said this, Old Patch looked at me for help.
"Hey, I said, that's enough for you, Harold, don't you just know a bracelet? How dare you go to such a big fight!" I stood in front of him and said: "Who hasn't had an adventure or something? Why, just You need to know the origin of these things, but don’t allow others to know?”
Seeing my aggressive and unhappy look, Harold realized that he had lost his composure. His tense body suddenly relaxed and he took a long breath: "You're right, who hasn't had an adventure yet? Maybe This Mr. Patch is just well-informed.”
"That's right, that's right." Seeing that the threat was gone, Old Patch started to squeal again: "Don't underestimate me. Although I am just a little blacksmith, my niece has a lot of potential. She is the princess of the dwarf tribe. Guard, she has never seen any of these things, don't you think so, An Xiaoyi?"
"Ah, yes, I know this," I responded: "I have met his niece several times. She is indeed the guard of the dwarf princess. In this case, it is not surprising that old Patch knows these things. Yes, right?"
Under my questioning, Harold could only nod helplessly.
The tense atmosphere passed by, and I shifted my gaze to the third object, which was a short sword.
It was a short sword about the same length as my forearm. At first glance, the overall color was plain and the luster was uneven. It looked a bit like a bargain. But if you take a closer look, you will find that the dull and uneven color is just that. A layer of cowhide covering the dagger.
I pressed the hilt of the sword, but it was not soft to the touch. It seemed that the cowhide was only such a thin layer. Subconsciously, I reached out my hand, grasped the hilt of the dagger, and pulled it out.
Staggering, there was a soft sound, and the dagger was unsheathed.
As soon as I took it out of the sheath, I felt a flash of cold light, which shocked me.
The body of the sword, which is two fingers wide, is covered with dense words. I can only understand a very small part of them, and most of the others, I can only treat them as heavenly books.
On both sides of the dagger, there is a blade about the length of a palm. The blade is so sharp that my scalp feels a little tight.
"Is there anything? Let me try the sword." I turned to Harold and said.
Harold did not move, but stared at the sword blankly. After a while, he hesitated and said: "You'd better not want this sword. This sword is a bit... a bit ominous. You can try something else." Yes, anything is fine."
Seeing his complicated expression and erratic eyes, I was sure: he must be lying!
It seems that this sword has a great background!
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of ominous things." I interrupted his thoughts directly, looked at the sword, and said: "Besides, since I came to Zefeng Continent, I have encountered too many ominous things, which is not bad. This is it, I want this sword, please help me get something, and I will test its sharpness."
"No, I can't give you this sword!" Harold's tone became tough: "Besides, you are a knife user, what are you doing with a sword?"
"Who told you that none of my fiancées can wield swords?" I asked with a leisurely expression.
"For the sake of your fiancée, you can't take this sword!" Harold said anxiously: "It is really an ominous sword!"
