Abe the Wizard

Chapter 19: Gambling

Tall, skinny Joshua grinned and said, "Martin, I think we're mostly fooled. How could he have forged that great sword? ”

“The Great Sword?” Abel turns around and looks at Zach, and his brother doesn't come out with a gift, does he?

Zach rubbed his hands with some embarrassment and glanced at Emily again, saying: "I talked to Emily by accident. These three guys didn't believe my brother built me a hundred practice swords, and we were arguing about it. ”

Abel looked at his brother silently, and his father didn't always say in front of him that he was mature and steady. The big brother in front of him seemed to have fallen into Emily's love network, so he couldn't pull himself out.

“That's a hands-on piece I learned to forge.” Abel explained lightly.

Hearing Abel say that the Bailey Sword is a hands-on work, several people couldn't help but say a few words. The Bailey Sword, which can only be forged by master blacksmiths, is called a hands-on work, and a few people suddenly feel a rushing cow.

“From which master did you learn to forge?” Emily asked with a beautiful pair of big eyes.

“I followed Master Bentham to learn forging.” Abel answered honestly that he had a very good attitude towards the girl who might be his future sister-in-law.

Martin couldn't help but say, "Master Bentham is a respected master of forging. How long have you been studying with him? ”

“A month. ”

Martin, Bob and Emily all shocked and said, "My God, this is incredible. ”

“Do you really believe this kid can forge a hundred practice swords in just one month? Even if his teacher is Master Bentham.” Joshua smiled coldly.

“None of your business!” Emily interrupted Joshua's words without mercy.

Joshua and Zach both liked Emily, and she knew that, but she made Emily despise hitting someone else's younger brother to please her behavior, and Emily knew that Zack wouldn't lie to herself.

Joshua glanced at Abel, skipping his mouth, and Yin Yang said strangely: "Abe, don't speak of Master Bentham's work as your own for a disgrace. ”

Zach shouted angrily, "Joshua, don't blame me for talking nonsense! ”

Martin stood up beside him, separated by two people, and said, "You know if it's easy to work with Master Bentham, there's a giant hammer weapons shop ahead. Ask the expert there to identify it and you'll know. ”

“Absolutely not.” Zach glanced at Abel calmly, nodding to him, and he said.

Joshua Haha laughed, “Zach, you really believe Abel can forge a hundred practice swords, let's make a bet.” Joshua patted the sword behind him and went on to say: "I bet on this true Master Bentham's work. If that sword is not Master Bentham's work, then even if I lose, my sword is yours. If it is Master Bentham's work, then this sword is mine. How dare you? ”

Martin rushed forward and said, "Don't play so big. Forget it. Don't make any bets. ”

Even Bob, who was silent, came up to persuade him: "Friends, why don't you buy us a good meal? ”

"Don't you dare, Zach. ”

But Emily screamed out loud, “I'm here to judge, who dares to cheat, see if I don't take care of him. ”

Martin and Bob looked at the excited Emily with a sigh of relief, and with this one, the gambling couldn't help but persuade.

Abel couldn't help but frown slightly. From the moment he met him, this Joshua constantly struck himself. He had never seen him before. Is he an enemy of his brother, but he didn't look like him. Although there was some controversy before he came here, he could also see that it was a small matter between friends.

“Bet on it.” Zach said angrily that Joshua kept laughing at herself and her brother in front of Emily, leaving his heart full of rage.

Seeing that this is already happening, everyone is walking to the Hammer Weapon Shop.

The Hammer Weapon Shop is a shop in Toyota that specializes in weapons and protective equipment. When you enter the house, you will see a huge counter made of iron wood. The world's weapons are huge and heavy, and only such a counter made of iron wood can carry the weight of the weapons.

“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Hammer Weapon Shop. I'm Ted, the manager. Can I help you?” A skinny middle-aged man greeted several people.

“Manager Ted, we need to identify a sword and ask your best expert to help us identify it.” Joshua was impatient to begin with.

“Wait, I'm the referee. Give me both swords. I'll take care of this.” Emily stretched out her hand to stop Joshua, and her face was filled with a very serious and responsible look.

Zach didn't say anything and handed the sword over directly to Emily, and Joshua seemed very reluctant to hand over his sword, but saw that Zach had handed the sword over to Emily first, and there was no way but to give it to Emily in a hurry.

“You're a lot longer than a woman.” When Emily said this, she seemed to forget that she was a woman and that she had a sword in her hand.

Ted, the manager of the store, had already called an old man with a long beard, and said, "This is the chief appraiser of the Hammer Weapon Shop. Just give him the long sword, and the appraisal fee for each weapon is two gold coins. ”

Emily threw two gold coins and placed Zach's sword on the counter, saying: "Please verify that this weapon is the work of Master Bentham. ”

When the old appraiser heard whether the appraisal was a masterpiece or not, he immediately had the spirit to pull the sword out of the counter and examine it carefully. Gradually, the old appraiser's eyes became a little straight, revealing a very enthusiastic look, and people suddenly pounced on the sword, touching the sword with fingers.

“Perfect, which masterpiece.” The veteran expert muttered, "How could this sword be so sharp with what kind of magic was used on a hundred practice swords? ”

The veteran connoisseur did not hide his appreciation of the great sword and seemed to have forgotten some of the people beside him.

“Cough” Emily gently coughed twice to alert the old appraiser, then repeatedly asked: "Can you confirm if this weapon is the work of Master Bentham? ”

“Oh, no, of course not. I don't know which master it is, but it's definitely not Master Bentham.” The old appraiser said with twelve points of certainty.

“How is this possible?" Joshua knew when he saw the old appraiser's expression that things were not what he had imagined. When he heard the old appraiser's affirmative answer, he immediately stopped doing it and jumped up and said, "Don't be ridiculous, I can't spare you. ”

The old appraiser looked at Joshua coldly and said proudly: "If you are not satisfied with the appraisal results, go to the City Hall and sue me. The giant hammer weapons shop is the property of the City Hall, but if you want to make trouble here, consider the consequences. ”

Emily swept a blush and didn't dare to attack Joshua, reluctantly picking up two swords and leaving Joshua, a look I didn't know about.

The old connoisseur saw Emily put the sword away, and her face was full of shame, and she turned to him and asked: “Do you want to sell this hundred practice swords? I can give you 1200 gold coins. ”

The words of the veteran appraiser caused the crowd to wonder, Emily asked: "Didn't you say that the value of the Great Sword is 1,000 gold coins? How come you bought 1200 gold coins? ”

Several others were also curious, and Abel didn't think at the side that it was just the first time that he had used some other world method to raise a sword by a few hundred gold coins.

“It is an ordinary hundred practice sword, the value of the item in the hundred practice sword far exceeds that of the ordinary hundred practice sword, and this sword uses extraordinary secrets and is a boutique in the boutique. If in the hands of a powerful knight you can cut off an ordinary hundred practice swords within a few swords, any powerful knight will acquire this sword like a tiger. ”

When he left the Hammer Weapon Shop, Joshua lost his bet and felt ashamed to stay here, leaving alone.

“Zach, you have to treat.” Martin and Bob looked with envy at the two swords in Zach's hand, while Emily looked at Abel curiously, and good upbringing kept her from asking what the secret was.

“Abel, can you help me forge a sword? I can give you the money.” Emily flashed her big eyes and asked Abel softly.

“I only forge weapons for my family.” Abel refused so simply that Martin and Bob both broke their minds.

Emily seemed to think of something and looked at Zach slightly red-handed and said to Abel: "Boom! ”
