Chapter 1244 Someone Try to Pick Up Her Man Again


    Elsewhere, Lory and Zhao Li Xin had forgotten what happened at the ck Crow Guild after all, for them it was just another normal urrence in their lives plus they had more important matters to handle.


    "We haven''t bought you a weapon yet, have we?" Lory pped her hands.


    "I already have this," Zhao Li Xin pointed to the small sword strapped to his waist.


    "That''s not enough" Lory frowned in disapproval "You will enter a dangerousbyrinth so you need a lot of careful preparation"


    "Oh, doesn''t the ck Crow Guild provide weapons for its members?" Zhao Li Xin asked


    "They are, but they''re not sold inside the Guild, we should visit the Armory shop to find weapons and armor and if we want to make an upgrade or customize a weapon we should provide the material we must visit the cksmith or you can ask the Guild employee to take care of it for you" Lory exin.


    "So that''s how it is" Zhao Li Xin started to understand how the Guilds work.


    "Oh, let''s go there" Lory immediately pulled Zhao Li Xin''s arm "I heard from the guild staff that the shop is quite famous.


    When they arrived at the weapons shop, it was quite busy with hunters looking for weapons. Lory took Zhao Li Xin to see the weapons disy on the wall.


    As an Armament Master Zhao Li Xin was very interested in seeing the variety of weapons made in this world, so he looked at each weapon one by one. Then he found a weapon that he thought was an ordinary sword, but by pressing a button on the hilt the sword turned into an iron whip.


    "It''s a morph weapon," Lory said then pointed again at the rear end of the handle "Try turning this part"


    Zhao Li Xin turned the sword hilt and then a hidden dagger appeared from the tip of the sword hilt, Zhao Li Xin''s face beamed in surprise.


    "You can smear it with strong poison to paralyze the beast in an emergency," said Lory again.


    "That''s neat" Zhao Li Xin scrutinized the craftsmanship in awe.


    Lory nodded "Yes and there are many other options, but morph weapons are usually not as durable as normal weapons. The more changes there are, the more fragile the weapon bes, although there are exceptions depending on the capabilities of the artist."


    "Yes, I can see it, the moreplicated a weapon, the more weaknesses it has." he is a talented armament master so he has a deep understanding of weapons sometimes the hardest weapon to make is the simplest one.


    "So what are you going to choose?" Lory tilted her head.


    Zhao Li Xin returned the gun to the screen and then took a step back to ponder for a moment. He didn''t think his martial arts were a match for this high-tech weapon. If he wanted to develop his martial arts then he needed a suitable weapon.


    Zhao Li Xin looked around the shop then he caught a pile of weapons stuffed together like junk inside a wooden box with a red sign on the front of the box saying ''BIG SALE''


    ZhaoLi Xin Xin walked towards a wooden box in the corner that seemed to have been forgotten. He carefully checked the weapons one by one then he found a sword. At first nce, it was just an ordinary sword with a ck leather hilt. The sword has rough edges and is a little rusty but the material is quite good, and solid although a bit heavy for normal people, maybe that''s why the sword ends up in a discount box, but for martial arts experts like Zhao Li Xin, this sword will help him to practice his sword skills and also strength that will be useful in the future.


    Lory saw a glint in Zhao Li Xin and then asked, "Do you like this one?"


    Zhao Li Xin ced his index finger two inches under the hilt and then confirmed the sword had good bnce though the edge was a bit course and dull from overused and the hilt a bit loose but overall it was still a good weapon. He held his weapon to gain the feeling after that he smiled with satisfaction


    Zhao Li Xin looked at Lory, "I''ll take this"


    If it was anyone else, Lory would have advised them to think again, but since she knew Zhao Li Xin is an Armament master and had seen her exquisite craftmanship and even used them often, so she had no reason to question him.


    "Okay, and it got a discount too, we''re lucky!" she smiled broadly.


    "By the way, do you think I can borrow some cksmith tools, I need to repair this sword a bit" Zhao Li Xin felt it was pitty that this sword lost its potential, what a shame!


    "No problem, as long as we have the money we can ask for anything in this world, well...almost" Lory shrugged.


    "I think that''s how it works in every world" A faint smile brightened Zhao LiXin''s cold face.


    Affected by Zhao Li Xin''s good mood Lory then speaks in a cheerful tone "Let''s pack this sword and go to the cksmith!"


    The two of them went to the cashier and then put the sword on the table "I want to purchase this sword" said Lory.


    The male cashier was shocked, he looked at the shabby sword in disbelief after that he raised his eyes at Lory and Zhao Li Xin "Um...Is this all?"


    "Yeah, is there a problem?" Lory understands why the cashier is hesitant because for hunters having a good weapon is like an extension of life.


    There are many situations where hunters manage to survive because they have a good weapon and body armor so it is not umon for many hunters to even take outrge loans to buy good weapons and armor but the hunter in front of them only bought a beat-up weapons and didn''t buy any armor either, are they looking for death? The cashier didn''t darement, after all, it wasn''t his job to warn the hunter of their choice, he just assumed the hunter didn''t have much money.


    "No - no, not a problem...I just want to make sure, because—"


    "Because...?" Lory raised her brows, questioning.


    "Um, nothing! it will be two hundred Roms and because it got a fifty percent discount so the price bes one hundred Roms and twenty Roms, do you want to pay it in cash or by card?" the cashier smiled widely.


    "Card" Lory handed over her bank card.


    The cashier moved nimbly hepleted the payment and even gave free sword sheats as a bonus to help them get rid of the useless weapon. Zhao Li Xin received the sword with an impassive expression which made the cashier believe that this man was unhappy with the sword but that was not his problem since they already bought it!


    After they left the weaponry shop they went to the cksmith''s ce to borrow their tools to repair the sword they had just bought.


    At first, they looked at Zhao Li Xin with a condescending look, they didn''t believe this beautiful man with a refined and elegant manner knew anything about weapons, they were quite shocked when they found out he was a hunter because from his appearance he looked like a rich man who seemed to have never lifted a finger in his life.


    Initially, the cksmith offered their services to repair the sword but Lory reasoned by saying that they didn''t have enough money so they would do it themselves. Lory deliberately said that so as not to hurt the cksmith''s pride, because Lory knew how proud a cksmith was of his skills, although it was understandable because it takes a lot of skill to forge a weapon to kill a Beast, and the stronger the monster, the more difficult it is to make the weapon, that''s why there are not much cksmith in this world, especially the talented one.


    At first, they looked at Zhao Li Xin with a condescending look, they didn''t believe this beautiful man with a refined and elegant manner knew anything about weapons, they were quite shocked when they found out he was a hunter because from his appearance he looked like a rich man who seemed to have never lifted a finger in his life.


    They assumed that Zhao Li Xin might be one of the former rich people who fell into poverty after the Dark Age War, so for one reason or another this soft-looking man chose to be a hunter, however, they were extremely surprised after seeing how Zhao Li Xin deftly and carefully repaired the beat up sword, he managed to remove the rust without damage the sword surface and repair the course edge of the sword, once his done he continues sharpened the sword with consistent pressure to maintain even edged not long after the sword bes shiny and sharp again just like a new sword. At that moment the expressions of the cksmiths at that ce changed from ridicule to interest.


    Zhao Li Xin then bought a new sword hilt to rece the old sword hilt, then he skillfully disassembled the sword hilt, and installed a new hilt. His movements were calm and graceful but fast, agile, and efficient until in just a short time the sword hilt was installed perfectly.


    Because he was toozy to wait, Lory went out to buy food and drink, but to his surprise, when he returned, he saw all the cksmiths, including assistants, and other workers, stop their work to watch Zhao Li Xin''s work.


    When Zhao Li Xin finished one of the senior cksmiths approached him "Young man, your skills are quite good, are you a cksmith?"


    Zhao Li Xin slowly averted his gaze from his sword. He wasn''t a man of many words but in this world, he decided to maintain his politeness for Lory''s sake so he answered half-heartedly, "You could say that..."


    The cksmith thought Zhao Li Xin was being humble as a result the cksmith''s opinion of Zhao Li Xin Increased even more, "Hey boy, do you want to be my apprentice, I''ll give you free tuition, free lodging, and free living expenses, what do you say?" the cksmith''s smiles like a leecher trying to lure an innocent maiden to his home.


    Zhao Li Xin ignored him but the cksmith didn''t back down instead he became more excited so he asked again, "By the way, can you forge too?"


    Zhao Li Xin gave the cksmith a look as if he was asking a stupid question.


    "What kinda cksmith...cannot forge?" Zhao Li Xin said before he sheathed his sword with a smooth but fast movement showing he had done this a million times before, without further exnation the cksmith knew that this handsome man must be a sword master.


    "Is that so, hey boy, why don''t you show me what you can do? I might give you a better offer" The cksmith''s eyes re with excitement as he stares at Zhao Li Xin as if he is about to kidnap Zhao Li Xin at this moment. "Tsk" Lory clicked her tongue in annoyance, she wondered why every time she left Zhao Li Xin though only for a short time there was always someone who tried to pick up her husband.


    "Li Xin, are you done?" Lory deliberately interjects.


    Zhao Li Xin''s gloomy face lit up instantly as he heard Lory''s voice he immediately answered "Yes!"


    Lory lifted her chin gesturing for him to go, "Let''s go!"


    Since they had paid for the tools beforehand, he could leave as soon as he was done. The cksmith seemed reluctant to let the good seedling he found slip from his grip hence he asked for Zhao Li Xin''s phone number unfortunately Zhao Li Xin didn''t remember his own phone number because he didn''t know if it was important, only then did he he realize how important it is to remember his and lory''s number just in cased something happen and he loose his phone.


    Meanwhile, Lory purposely stopped the cksmith''s overzealous approach by telling him that they were in a hurry, only after that the cksmith had no other choice but to let them go but he remembered that when he was going to borrow his equipment, they gave him identification their hunter.


    From there the cksmith learned that they were one of the frence hunters working for the ck Crow Guild. The cksmith consoled himself knowing he could contact the ck Crow guild to get Zhao Li Xin''s contact number. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After sessfully getting Zhao Li Xin out, Lory helped lift his hoodie over his head and then covered half of Zhao Li Xin''s face with a mask, but then Lory realized that this probably wouldn''t have much of an impact now that she thought about it, at that time Hugo didn''t approach Zhao Li Xin because he liked his face and the cksmith wasn''t interested in Zhao Li Xin''s face either. What they were interested in was Zhao Li Xin''s remarkable skills and talents that exceeded ordinary people.


    Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin''s face which was half covered by a mask leaving only her beautiful ck eyes staring back at him, still, he managed to tug at her heart like a bowstring.


    Feeling helpless Lory subconsciously muttered her thoughts out loud "I should have locked you up in an ivory tower"


    Zhao Li Xin, who didn''t understand what Lory was thinking, innocently replied "Oh, if it''s suitable I might be able to do close-door training."
