The room was large, and had a vast number of weapons on display.
"This is the weapon display room, were we showcase our new weapons. Please, your highness, feel free to choose any weapon of your desire." Lucius said, as he turned, bowed slightly, and gestured towards the entrance of the weapon display room.
Zalfick nodded in response, and entered the room. The royal guards however, patiently stood guard in front.
Looking around the weapon display room, Zalfick had to acknowledge that it was nothing short of impressive.
In one corner of the room, there was a rack of swords – everything from scimitars to broadswords and then falchions, each with their own unique design and deadly purpose. In another corner, there was an array of polearms – halberds, spears, glaives, and more. And next to that, one could also see an assortment of bludgeons, from maces to warhammers.
But that was not all. In one section of the weapon display room, was a wide variety of bows – longbows, recurve bows, and crossbows of every shape and sizes. And in yet another, there was a collection of throwing knives and other projectile weapons. There was even a whole area devoted to firearms, from flintlocks to revolvers and then handguns.
'Woah, there's a whole lot of weapons.' Zalfick thought in amazement.
He then activated the [Inspect] enchantment, and looked at the displayed weapons. Seeing the information about the weapons, Zalfick had to agree that they were indeed impressive. However, only three weapons attracted his attention.
He walked closer to the first of these three weapons and grabbed it
NAME: Zerka Poison Dagger
WEAPON TYPE: Dagger
WEAPON DESCRIPTION: The Zerka Poison Dagger was created by Lucius Doyle, a master technomancer and gunsmith. The blade of this dagger was created from a special metal ore called Zerka. This metal ore is known for its extremely poisonous surface, and can only be mined from the mountains of Bizelf.
WEAPON EFFECT: [Poison Blades]
Reading the info about the dagger, and looking at the dagger itself, Zalfick slightly doubted its poisonous effects. After all, the dagger didn't look poisonous at all.
The zerka poison dagger had a jet black hilt, with a blade that was as white as snow. Still, regardless of its non poisonous appearance, Zalfick carefully held its hilt, making sure not to get cut by its white blade.
After looking at the weapon for a while, Zalfick silently glanced at the entrance of the room with the corner of his eyes, and then dropped the dagger back. With that, he walked towards the second weapon that caught his interest.
The second weapon was a rather strange pistol. And one of the strange things about this pistol was its appearance. Firstly, this pistol had a small sized skull as its gun barrel. Apart from that, the pistol was slightly larger than the average pistols on display.
Fascinated by its looks and uniqueness, Zalfick read the information about the pistol, provided by the [Inspect] enchantment:
NAME: Nightmare Pistol
WEAPON TYPE: Gun
WEAPON DESCRIPTION: The Nightmare Pistol was made by Lucius Doyle, a master technomancer and gunsmith, who crafted it from both metals and the fragments of a devourer crystal. Putting hours of work and excellent craftsmanship into its creation, the Nightmare Pistol was born.
WEAPON EFFECTS: [Mana Bullet] [Dead Shot]
After seeing this, Zalfick went on to read the descriptions of the weapon effects. To do this, he focused his attention on both of the effects, and a second later, the descriptions mysteriously appeared before him.
[Mana Bullet]: This effect takes the absorbed mana in an awakened mana core, and shoots it out in the form of a high speed mana bullets.
[Dead Shot]: This effect absorbs the users mana, enhances it, and fires it off as a huge and deadly amount of concentrated mana.
On seeing the effects of the nightmare pistol, Zalfick realized that it was indeed a powerful weapon. However, he knew that currently, he wouldn't be able to use the pistol. After all, he didn't have any absorb mana in his body, since his mana core was dormant.
Still, he decided that he was going to buy it.
Moving on, Zalfick walked over to a sword rack, were his third weapon of interest was located. The third weapon, which was a long sword, caught Zalfick's interest because of a simple reason – The long sword was the only weapon that was isolated and kept separately from the others.
Zalfick took the sword, looked at it, and from the appearance alone, he could tell that the long sword was oddly different.
The hilt of the long sword was white, with a bright purple circular stone embedded at the point where the hilt connects with the blade. However, the odd thing about the sword, was the blade itself. The blade of the long sword was a clear transparent glass.
Seeing this, Zalfick was curious. He activated the [Inspect] enchantment once again, and looked at the sword's info.
NAME: The Ender
WEAPON TYPE: Sword
WEAPON DESCRIPTION: Even in light, there is darkness
WEAPON EFFECTS: ???
As Zalfick read this, he became more curious about the sword and its origin. So, he turned to the entrance of the room, and asked.
"Mr. Lucius, this sword. Where did it come from?"
Lucius Doyle, who had been waiting patiently at the entrance of the display room, walked over, and replied,
"I must say, you have a keen eye my prince. I'm surprised that you realized that I am not the creator of this sword. Still, I don't really know anything about its origin. I purchased this sword from an auction house in the city of Liamheart."
"An auction house?" Asked Zalfick.
"Yes, my prince. The sword was named the unbreaking glass due to its indestructible glass blade. And as a result, the unbreaking glass was considered as a unique collectible for sword collectors." Lucius replied.
"Since it has an indestructible blade, why is it considered as just a collectible?"
"That's because the sword is simply normal and has no magical effects like most sword armaments." Said Lucius.
Hearing that, Zalfick nodded and said,
"In that case, I would like to buy this sword, along with the nightmare pistol."
"I'll get them ready for you, my prince. And because of our good relationship, I'm also going to give you a discount. The nightmare pistol costs a total of 1000 Morverian silver cerds, and the unbreaking sword cost 5000 Morverian gold cerds."
With that said, Lucius began to prepare the two weapons. He placed the ender sword in a scabbard, and wrapped the nightmare pistol in a brown parcel. After that, he gave them both to one of the royal guards.
Zalfick opened his pouch, gave Lucius the money for the weapons, and turned to leave, but before he could, Lucius stopped him.
"I'm sorry, my prince. You're really too generous. You gave me more money than necessary."
Zalfick looked back at Lucius and replied,
"I wasn't trying to be generous. I simply bought some weapons from your shop, and now I'm paying for them."
And so with that, Zalfick and the guards walked out of the weapon display room…
The poison dagger was gone too.
