"Thank you for your help, Gendry. Please give this short sword a scabbard. The price will be calculated at the end."
A calm and friendly voice came, awakening the blacksmith apprentice Confused thinking.
The muscular young man blinked his eyes and shook his head instinctively, and then he saw the unattractive and handsome guest in front of him, looking at him inquiringly.
He suddenly woke up.
I was distracted just now
Gendry was a little unsure whether he had not been resting well recently.
But this is not a big deal, and you don’t need to care about it.
After he woke up, he followed Lan En's gaze and found what the guest wanted.
It was a short sword that was almost as long as an adult’s forearm. It had a one-handed handle wrapped in red leather, and the blade was only a little over ten centimeters long.
"Sir, the scabbard will be ready soon. This is a bonus."
Gendry took a silver deer coin from Lan En's hand and returned a handful. Give him copper coins.
Silver deer is a currency whose value is lower than that of gold dragon and silver moon.
Under normal circumstances, a silver deer is enough to buy a long sword that is sufficient, but Tob Mot's reputation and craftsmanship make it so that even a short sword as long as an arm is available in this shop. , the sales price must be paid in silver deer.
Gendry handed over the goods, completed the transaction, and returned to the fire to continue forging the horned helmet.
The owner of the shop was taking a nap on the recliner from beginning to end, and he didn't bother to raise his eyes whether the sale of a dagger was successful or not.
All this seems like an insignificant transaction among the countless transactions that this store usually experiences.
Lan En was very satisfied with this normality and took Aaliya back.
"This is for you."
Lan turned the dagger he just bought with the hilt facing Aaliya.
"Your stabbing sword is not bad, but if I want to teach you something, it is better to equip your off-hand with a short sword for blocking."
In fact, , every Emperor's Son has a superb and outrageously complex swordsmanship database in his mind.
For them, swordsmanship is like a tool for creating art.
So even though they are beyond ordinary people, they have little chance to use the flexible combination of bayonet and dagger, but they will definitely do it.
Lan En's daily memory dive has become a daily task, except for the two nights when he hammered Count Stetha to death and fought against Dagon.
Even if he has been influenced by what he has heard and seen, no matter whether he can use those outrageous sword skills now, his vision is definitely not low.
The short sword has an advantage over the long sword as a parrying sword, because the leverage structure it can form in sword confrontation is much less labor-intensive than the long sword.
Basically, when Aaliya fights with normal men of the same age, she will not be at a disadvantage due to sword wrestling.
Of course, the premise is that she has used her own skills to handle the first impact of the long sword slash and entered the wrestling stage.
"Thank you"
Aliya took the dagger with a smile, tied it to her right waist, and held it against the sewing needle on the left.
She has begun to look forward to what kind of swordsmanship Lan En can teach her.
Lan En listened to his thanks and nodded indifferently. I had promised to teach you something, how could I still fool you
But at the same time, his ears twitched slightly, and he glanced at himself in a movement that seemed to twist his neck to relax. right rear.
There is a dark alley.
And there, several voices were discussing something at a normal volume.
They don’t know how sharp the witcher’s hearing is. In normal people’s ears, this is meaningless noise, but in the ears of witchers, this is information.
“The sword on that guy’s back, you can tell how valuable it is just by looking at the hilt and not just by looking at the silver counterweight engraving.”
“He is in the hands of the current king. "Daughter"
"Oh, big shot, but what's the matter? We won't touch that girl. In King's Landing, the Prime Minister cannot let the decent and upright people in this city just because his daughter's guard was robbed. Come out and find out. There are hundreds of thousands of people. After we rob him, we can go to other streets and hide for a few months."
"Hey, he doesn't look good in what he's wearing. "I don't think it's useful. There are ten of us dragging him into the alley and beating him with sticks. He won't be able to bear it. And he doesn't even have a helmet. He can't even touch the back of his head." One blow was enough to make him faint for a long time.”
Noisy voices were chattering and arguing back and forth in the alley.
Finally, a voice that seemed to be the leader sounded, suppressing all the disputes.
"I think we can do it. In the past, we didn't dare to do anything casually because there were only a few places where stolen goods were sold, and Jinpao Zi could check them out if he wanted. But now we haven't just been beaten by our noble lord. Have you collected it?"
"We adults have money now, no matter where it comes from, we have it anyway, and we are keen on collecting these strange things. This exquisite sword is just the right thing. It should be exchanged for a lot of money."
The tone of the leader's words was very interesting.
When he said the words of your noble lord, he did not give his tone the emotion that matched the meaning of the words.
On the contrary, it was with a kind of teasing and ridicule.
If Lan En could describe the tone, it would be like seeing a country bumpkin nouveau riche.
If you are rich, you are really rich, and if you look down on it, you are really looking down on it.
So who is this adult who likes to collect strange things?
A newly successful businessman from a border nobleman far away from the royal city
Lan En is very curious. After all, this The Lord's goals somewhat coincide with his.
So there were two soft sounds of "bang bang".
The ten gangsters in the alley were looking at the entrance of the alley from the shadows in shock.
A tall, silver-haired young man was retracting the palm of his hand that knocked on the wall twice. His elegant posture was like that of a banquet host who knocked on his glass at a cocktail party and was about to speak.
A little girl followed him enthusiastically, and the two of them walked towards the shadows of the alley.
"Everyone, I am a little bit interested in the adults in your mouth."
As he walked, Lan En smiled and untied the long sword strap on his chest and put it on The two swords were placed in Alia's arms behind her.
"Can you tell me something?"
The atmosphere became silent.
The original ten people in the alley looked at the intruder blankly.
That was the prey they had chosen. They were supposed to drag it into the shadows five or ten minutes later, knock it out and strip it naked in the struggle.
But now, under the smiling expression of the other party, they feel that they are the prey.
The first emotion that came up was surprise.
But after the surprise, there was a kind of anger mixed with surprise.
The surprise prey comes to the door automatically, and what is irritating is the other party's graceful elegance
In other words, the completely indifferent expression
"You, he... "
A gangster closest to Lan En took the lead in holding a wooden stick, cursing and preparing to swing it.
But then, before he had time to raise the wooden stick above his head, a big hand that was so fast that he couldn't see it directly hit his face
"Bang"
"Wow"
Pressing his head, the back of his head collided with the face of the person behind him.
The person whose face was pressed went limp immediately after this blow. Only because his face was pinched by that hand did he not collapse into a ball on the ground.
The guy who was hit in the face had blood in his nose like a faucet.
Now I can only lie on the ground, breathing through my mouth in a daze.
"Oh, Lan En, I win."
Aliya, holding two swords, gave a small cheer.
"My fault." Lan En didn't look back. A silver deer slipped out of his unmoved hand and flicked it onto the little girl's forehead.
The remaining eight people had dull expressions in front of those slightly shining cat eyes.
"What a pity. I thought the local gang would be a little more polite."
