Joshua, who was tall and thin, grinned and said: "Martin, I think we were probably deceived. How could that hundred-practiced sword be forged by him?"

"Hundred-practition sword?" Abel turned to look at Zach. His eldest brother wouldn't just show off after receiving a gift, would he

Zach rubbed his hands in embarrassment, glanced at Emily again, and said: "Emily and I accidentally talked about the fact that these three guys didn't believe that my brother helped me build a hundred Practicing the sword, we were arguing about this just now."

Abel looked at his eldest brother with a speechless face. His father had always told him that his eldest brother was mature and steady. No matter how he looked at it, the eldest brother in front of him seemed to have fallen into Emily's love network and couldn't extricate himself.

"That's a practice piece I used to learn blacksmithing." Abel explained calmly.

Hearing Abel say that the Hundred-Lian Great Sword was a work of practice, several people couldn't help but feel speechless. The Hundred-Line Great Sword, which could only be forged by a master blacksmith, was called a work of practice, and several people suddenly felt a sense of excitement. Soaring bullishness rushed towards my face.

"Which master did you learn forging from?" Emily asked with a pair of beautiful big eyes flashing.

"I learned blacksmithing from Master Bentham." Abel answered honestly. He had a very good attitude toward this girl who might be his future sister-in-law.

Martin couldn't help but said: "Master Bentham is a respected forging master. How long have you studied with the master?"

"A month."

Martin, Bob and Emily all looked shocked and said in unison: "Oh my god, this is incredible."

"Do you really believe that this child can forge a hundred-practice sword after only one month of learning? Even if his teacher is Master Bentham." Joshua said with a sneer.

"None of your business!" Emily interrupted Joshua mercilessly.

Both Joshua and Zach like Emily, and she knows this, but Emily despises the behavior of hitting other people's younger brothers to please her. Emily knows that Zach will not lie to herself. of.

Joshua glanced at Abel angrily, curled his lips, and said angrily: "Abel, don't claim Master Bentham's works as your own just to save face."

Zach yelled with an angry face: "Joshua, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for falling out with you!"

Martin stood up on the side, separated the two people and said: "It's easy to know whether it is Master Bentham's work. There is a giant hammer weapon shop in front of you. Wouldn't you know if you ask the appraiser there to identify it?"

"Of course, no problem." Zach glanced at Abel, who looked calm, and after Abel nodded to him, he said.

Joshua laughed loudly and said: "Zach, do you really believe that Abel can forge a hundred-practice sword? Let's make a bet." As he spoke, Joshua patted the sword on his back and continued. : "I bet on this sword that is truly the work of Master Bentham. If that sword is not the work of Master Bentham, then even if I lose, my big sword will be yours. If it is the work of Master Bentham, , then your big sword is mine. Do you dare to bet?"

Martin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "There's no need to play so big, forget it, don't make any bets."

Even Bob, who was silent on the side, came forward to persuade us: "We are all friends, why not treat everyone to a nice meal."

Joshua teased: "Don't you dare anymore, Zach?"

However, Emily shouted regardless of the matter: "I will be the referee. Whoever dares to cheat will see if I don't deal with him."

Martin and Bob looked at the excited Emily and couldn't help but sigh. With this person here, they couldn't persuade them to gamble.

Abel couldn't help but frown slightly. Ever since they met, this Joshua had been constantly beating him up. He had never seen him before. Could it be that he was his eldest brother's enemy, but he didn't look like it. Although he had some arguments before coming here, , but it can also be seen that it is a trivial matter between friends.

"Just bet." Zach said angrily. Joshua kept laughing at himself and his brother in front of Emily, making his heart full of anger.

Seeing that things were already like this, everyone quickly walked towards the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop.

The Giant Hammer Weapon Shop is a store in Harvest City that specializes in weapons and armor. When you enter the door, you will see a huge counter made of ironwood. The weapons in this world are all very big and heavy, and there is only this counter made of ironwood. Able to bear the weight of the weapon.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop. I am Ted, the store manager. Do you need anything?" A thin middle-aged man said hello to several people.

"Manager Ted, we want to appraise a big sword. Please ask your best appraiser to help us appraise it." Joshua said impatiently.

"Wait a minute, I'm the referee, give me both big swords, I'll be responsible for this." Emily stretched out her hand to block Joshua, saying with a serious and responsible expression written all over her face.

Zach didn't say anything and just handed the big sword to Emily. Joshua seemed very reluctant to hand over his big sword, but seeing that Zach had already handed the big sword to Emily first, There was no choice but to slowly hand the sword to Emily.

"You are more stubborn than a woman." When Emily said this, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also a woman, and grabbed the big sword in her hand.

At this time, the store manager Ted had already called an old man with a long beard and introduced: "This is the chief appraiser of the Giant Hammer Weapon Shop. You just need to hand the sword to him. The appraisal fee for each weapon is for 2 gold coins.”

Emily threw out 2 gold coins, put Zach's big sword on the counter, and said, "Please identify whether this weapon is the work of Master Bentham."

When the old appraiser heard about the appraisal of whether it was a masterpiece, he immediately became energetic. He took out the big sword from the counter and looked at it carefully. Gradually, the old appraiser's eyes became straighter, and he showed a very fanatical expression. He suddenly rushed to the big sword and stroked the big sword carefully with his fingers.

"It's so perfect. Which master's masterpiece is this?" the old appraiser murmured, "What kind of secret technique was used on the Bailian sword? How could this sword be so sharp?"

The old appraiser made no secret of his appreciation for this hundred-practiced sword, and seemed to have forgotten the few people around him.

"Ahem." Emily coughed twice to alert the old appraiser, and then asked repeatedly: "Can you confirm whether this weapon is the work of Master Bentham."

"Oh, no, of course not. I didn't see which master's work this was, but it definitely cannot be the work of Master Bentham." The old appraiser said with great certainty.

"This... this... how is this possible..." When Joshua saw the old appraiser's expression, he knew that things were not what he imagined. When he heard the old appraiser's affirmative answer, he immediately stopped. Jumped up and said: "You have to see clearly, don't talk nonsense, I can't forgive you."

The old appraiser looked at Joshua coldly and said proudly: "If you are not satisfied with the appraisal results, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to sue me. The Giant Hammer Weapon Shop is the property of the City Lord's Mansion, but if you want to make trouble here, please consider Know the consequences."

Emily glanced at Joshua, who was blushing but didn't dare to get angry. She picked up two swords and walked away from Joshua in disgust, with an expression like "I don't know him."

When the old appraiser saw Emily put away the sword, his face was full of pity, and he turned to ask: "Are you selling this hundred-practice sword? I can offer 1,200 gold coins."

The old appraiser's words aroused the crowd's surprise. Emily asked: "Didn't you say that the Bailian Great Sword is worth 1,000 gold coins? Why did you pay 1,200 gold coins for the purchase?"

Several other people were also curious, but Abel didn't expect that it was just the first time that he used some methods from another world to increase the value of a big sword by several hundred gold coins.

"That is an ordinary hundred-level sword. The value of the best among the hundred-level swords is far higher than that of ordinary hundred-level swords. And this sword uses extraordinary secret techniques, and it is the best among the best. If it is used by a In the hands of a powerful knight, he can almost cut off an ordinary Bailian sword within a few swords. Any powerful knight will be more powerful if he obtains this sword. "

When leaving the Giant Hammer Weapons Shop, Joshua lost the bet and felt ashamed to stay here any longer, so he left alone.

"Zach, you have to treat me." Martin and Bob looked at the two big swords in Zach's hands with envy, while Emily looked at Abel curiously. Her good upbringing prevented her from asking what the secret technique was. .

"Abel, can you help me forge a sword? I can give you money." Emily asked Abel softly with her big eyes flashing.

"I only forge weapons for my family." Abel refused very simply, causing Martin and Bob beside him to stop thinking.

Emily seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but glance at Zach with a slight blush, and then said to Abel: "Bah!"
