NINE-chapter 1.5

• I’m making quite alot of progress with this!

“Sorry, my mistake.” Talus sincerely apologised to the man.

“What do ye want?” The old man’s expression changed.

“May I know what happened to the black sword that used to be there?” Talus pointed at the place where the sword used to rest.

“Black sword?” The man looked at Talus and started to observe him.

“Aye.” Talus, havimg replied in affirmative, was given a strange look by the old man.

Talus, ignoring the look, asked, “Well do you know anything about it?”

“There never was a black sword out there. Ye eyes must’vt failed ye.” The man returned to his original way of talking.

Talus, tilting his head, went to where the sword the same size of the black one, rested. As he slid his hand across the blade, he could feel that there was something strange with the blade, something unusual.

There was magic within the blade. Talus could only tell that there was magic within the blade, and not anything else.

Talus took the blade, and walked to the man. “How much is this?” Talus inquired.

“100 dezas.” Talus, feeling lazy about counting, directly threw the sack of 300 dezas to the man.

“Keep the change.”

And just like that, Talus bought a sword for 2/3 the average salary of a year.

Talus, only after leaving the shop, realised: I need to buy a shealth for this.

However, Talus had foolishly given all his money to the man, and could only walk around with the sword in hand.

Many people gsent him quizical gazes, however Talus, ignoring all of them, exited the black market.

The first thing he did after exiting the black market was walk towards his home. He wanted to get rid of the sword. And fast.

He walked through alleys and across roads, before he reached his home.

He kicked open the  door and threw the sword in. Well… more like the sword fell in due to it’s weight

Why the hell is that sword so heavy!?

And just like this, Talus bought a sword that was immensely heavy.
