Seeing Max walk in the shop in a hurry, Neer and the driver also followed.𝑂𝒱𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
When Max entered the shop, there were many customers in the shop looking around for suitable weapons and trying them out. When he entered, Most of the girls’ focused their gaze for a brief moment on him. He could even hear some of them murmuring.
“Hey, isn’t the guy too handsome?”
“Yeah it’s my first time seeing someone so handsome.”
“So what if he is handsome? All that matter is strength. I’ll challenge and defeat him in front of you.” Some guys got jealous and started looking down on him
Max didn’t mind any of them and walked to the counter where a stoic looking shopkeeper stood. He pointed to the Crimson sword on the display and asked “Hello Shopkeeper, May I know what kind of sword that crimson sword is?”
Although Max knew that this Crimson sword wasn’t the same as the one crimson monarch rewarded the Black Reaper with, it still resembled Crimson monarch’s Crimson Slayer. Therefore, he wanted to buy it as it’s colour indicated that this might be a fire elemental weapon.
Elemental weapons are very rare because only someone who has awakened the same element and has a deep understanding of it, can forge them and it’s also quite rare for someone like that to work as a blacksmith.
Max already wanted a weapon because he would have to fight in the third test of recruitment and a magic weapon may prove to be helpful. Although he was confident that can win only by using his [ Fireball ], however he couldn’t say this for sure. What if he was paired with a two star mage who has more mana and more skilled than him. In that case he might lose.
The shopkeeper who stood at the counter looked at the sword Max was pointing at and hesitated a bit before saying “That is a grade two fire elemental sword. If you are interested, you can buy it for 600 gold coins.”
Everyone turned to look at the sword in surprise but seeing that he was referring to the crimson sword hanging outside on display, they shook his their head. Although it was indeed a grade two elemental weapon, it still shouldn’t cost 600 gold coins. However, they could guess why shopkeeper offered this price.
Max didn’t know how much elemental weapons cost and he had enough to buy it. Therefore, he nodded and took out 600 gold coins to pay.
Seeing this, shopkeeper’s expression changed. He didn’t want to sell him this sword, that’s why he raised it’s price. Hoping that he wouldn’t want to buy it after hearing that it was this expensive.
However, he didn’t expect Max to still took out the money. He smiled awkwardly and was about to tell that the sword was already booked and he couldn’t sell it to him.
However before he could say anything, an arrogant voice sounded from the entrance, making his expression one of panic.
“Oh, didn’t you know that I reserved this sword beforehand yet you still dare to sell it?”
Everyone turned to look toward the entrance and their gazes stopped on a beautiful blonde girl. She was wearing a slightly loose white dress that covered her milky white skin entirely, only leaving her crane like neck and face. However, it still couldn’t hide her lust inducing curves yet everyone moved their eyes away as soon as they saw a man beside her.
Max looked at her up and down and nodded inwardly. She was indeed a rare beauty, comparable to Lilly.
However she wasn’t the one who spoke. The speaker was the handsome young man beside her. However standing next to this girl, his handsome visage dimmed considerably.
When Max turned to look toward them, he stared at Max and couldn’t help but compare him and himself subconsciously.
In the next moment however, he reflexively glanced at the girl to see her reaction. Seeing that she didn’t show any emotion even after seeing Max’s extremely handsome gait and those mesmerizing eyes, he sighed in relief.
He then glared at the shopkeeper and asked coldly “Didn’t my servant come yesterday and told you to reserve this sword for me? Why it is still on display and even more importantly you dare to disobey me and sell this sword?”
The shopkeeper panicked and quickly explained that by rejecting outright, he didn’t want to lose a potential customer and set the price almost double its market price but this young man still agreed and before he could tell why he couldn’t sell him the sword they arrived.
“So what if you would have lost a customer? Does this excuse gives you- ” The young man continued however the white clothed girl stopped him and said,
“Sir Dalton, you shouldn’t blame the shopkeeper. He didn’t purposely disobeyed your order.”
She then glanced at Max and smiled “If this really want to buy this sword, how about we bid for it. Whoever bid more will get the sword. How is it?”
The truth was that the young man had heard that this girl, Flavia wanted to buy a fire elemental sword. So when he heard that there was such sword available in the city, he sent his servant to reserve the sword himself.
Max smiled and nodded “If it wasn’t because I need this sword to fight in recruitment test, I would have given up on it for a beautiful girl such as you.”
Everyone looked at him dumbly. How audacious was this blue haired young man to talk to young Miss Flavia like that? This was what everyone wondered.
The young man called Dalton also looked at him in daze. However, in the next moment, his fury erupted. “How dare you talk to her like that?” He shouted as mana flow around him became chaotic.
Flavia also wrinkled her brows slightly but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t as if he said anything disrespectful or something. But seeing her companion erupt in rage she shook her head helplessly.
She knew that he loved her and cared about her a lot but this love what one-sided. She didn’t have any romantic feelings towards him and she had already told him this the last time they met but he still didn’t understand.
She felt annoyed by his behaviour despite her gentle nature, so she said coldly”Young master Dalton, please stop this. Why are getting angry when he didn’t said anything inappropriate?”
Every girl present also nodded at her words. However boys still felt that this blue haired guy should be punished for speaking so freely to a goddess like her.
“Ugh!” The young man noticed her annoyed tone and stopped stimulating his mana however he still glared at Max as if he was his enemy of life and death.
Max shook his head. If he knew that he would earn his enmity by saying a few words, he would’ve kept his mouth shut. However he still didn’t care much about him and smiled at the girl as if nothing happened “Shall we bid?”
