Chapter 10, Gift of the Sword

Seeing Haihua clutching her stomach with both hands, her legs tightly crossed and looking around anxiously, Nana couldn't help but laugh and say, "Master! Why not hurry and find a place to solve the problem?"

This is a great sword, measuring 2 meters in length and 1 foot in width, weighing 125 kilograms, suitable for robust men over 2 meters tall. It is primarily used for chopping, slashing, and sweeping techniques. A skilled martial artist can cleave a cyclops in half with a single strike of this sword. The boss pointed to the great sword while introducing it, then pulled Haihua to see the slender sword. "This slender sword, as thick as a finger, is 1.5 meters long and is suitable for individuals with a petite build, mainly used for thrusting techniques"

Haihua was stunned; he had been in such a hurry to relieve himself that he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings. He never expected it to be a weapons shop, and it seemed to have quite a variety of items.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge about the world would surely be astonished upon seeing the names written in this book, as those names have been renowned for decades. It seems that the boss has indeed sold weapons to them, which is quite remarkable

Nana shook her head, her tone still laced with fear. "Master, just now when you were wielding the knife, I felt a terrifying energy emanating from it! But now it’s gone." Haihua looked at the knife in his hand. "Could it be? It wouldn’t be like Muramasa, would it?" He was momentarily overjoyed, as he had a penchant for inexplicable things. "Nana! Feel it again and see if that energy is still there!" After saying this, he swung the knife a few more times with great effort.

The person, not believing, drew out the knife for careful examination. After a short while, he threw the knife back to the owner, and he was convinced.

"Nana, how can you use the term 'goddess' to scare me awake? It almost made me wet myself!" Haihua said, running towards Nana, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Nana apologetically said, "I am sorry, Master, for not waking you, that is why I..."

"Hehe, what kind of weapon do you want? A sword? A knife? A bow? A big hammer? Or an axe? Or perhaps a spear?" The boss asked in one breath.

The boss stared blankly at those weapons, and he knew what he was thinking, which inevitably stirred a sense of pride within him. His shop could be said to have the most comprehensive selection of weapons in the Kingdom of Murnah. How many outstanding warriors in the country have used the weapons sold here!

Haihua, feeling a moment of joy, grasped the knife in mid-air and swung it a few times, feeling quite pleased. He was even more delighted as he carefully examined the knife, yet he failed to notice the look of horror on Nana's face as she stared at the knife in his hand

Find a place? No! I cannot just relieve myself anywhere like a puppy! (He might think, could it be... he originally intended to behave like a puppy...)

Boss Samu flipped through the pages while reading, "In the year 2356 of the Divine Dragon Calendar, on April 3rd, Kaisha. Nanna, purchased a long spear. In the year 2368 of the Divine Dragon Calendar, on November 13th, Yunya. Li purchased a fine sword ... ... "

The boss handed the knife to Haihua and said, "Take your time to find a better one, I'll give you a 50% discount!" and smiled at Haihua.

"Haha! Nana! Please help me find some as well; I trust your judgment!" Haihua said with a smile to Nana beside her. Nana nodded happily and began to carefully select those weapons.

The boss took it over, glanced at the knife, and said, "This knife is ... ... " Before he could finish, someone snatched the knife away. It was one of the three standing with the boss. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face covered in stubble, and a robust physique, giving off a fierce impression, as if he were the leader among the three.

The boss pointed at Haihua's back and asked Nana with a smile, "Is he your master?" Nana nodded. The boss seemed to be speaking to himself, yet also to Nana, saying, "He is truly an interesting person." Nana smiled and nodded silently.

He laughed and said, "That knife is mine. I acquired it during my first business transaction, and it is both rusty and dull. When I realized I wanted to return it, I had no idea where I had purchased it, so it has been sitting around for decades without selling." He sighed.

Yes! Boss, I want a weapon!" Haihua looked at the boss eagerly

Just as the boss was about to introduce other weapons, a few people entered, shouting, "Boss! We want to buy weapons!" The boss and Haihua exchanged glances at them; they were three seven-foot-tall strong men clad in half-body armor

Looking back, Haihua shook his head and said, "Your physique is not suitable for these two types of weapons; one is too heavy, and the other is too light." Haihua nodded in agreement, but secretly chuckled, "Hehe, what does 125 kilograms matter! I can wield it effortlessly with one hand. It's a pity I'm not happy; otherwise, if I took it to fight with someone, it would definitely be impressive!"

The first thing that catches the eye is the smiling expression of the boss, a kind-looking middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties. As I scan the surroundings, my gaze brightens.

Hmm, it weighs about 80 jin, and both the weight and grip are perfect! It's even better than Muramasa! Very good! Very good! I like it! Haihua is truly captivating; I was just about to tell Nana not to look for it when I saw her astonished expression. "Eh? Nana, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Of course Nana will stay

Haihua glanced around and noticed that the nearest place was a shop with its door open, without a second thought, he rushed inside

Haihua waved to Nana and was about to leave, but upon hearing Nana say, "Wait! Master, didn't you promise Lisa that you would become a warrior?" Seeing Haihua stop and look at her with a puzzled expression, she continued, "Warriors must have weapons; won't you choose one?"

Haihua quickly took the knife tied to his left waist, gripping the blade tightly with his left hand, seemingly afraid it would be snatched away. "No need for that, boss! I want this one! How much is it?" As he spoke, his right hand had already pulled out a crystal card.

Haihua, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Boss, I don't know what kind of weapon suits me..." After speaking, he grabbed the boss's hand, looked into the boss's eyes, and pleaded, "Boss, could you introduce me to something? Please help me out here."

"No need to look any further, this is the one, right?" Seeing Nana nod, Haihua walked towards the owner who was introducing the weapons to the three people.

Boss! May I use the restroom? Where is it?

"Hehe, why not? It hasn't sold for decades and isn't worth much anyway. Since you like it, I'll give it to you as a gift. Let's be friends. Hehe, but I have one condition..." The boss said with a smile, looking at Haihua.

"Then regarding the books... I will accept it, but what are the conditions?" Haihua reluctantly put the crystal card back into the bag

Haihua suddenly realized and exclaimed, "I forgot! How could I forget?" He urgently asked Nana, "Where should we go to look?" Seeing Nana point behind her, he turned around in confusion.

After swinging, Nana asked, "Is there any?" Nana shook her head, "Strange, there’s nothing, I don’t feel any energy at all." Haihua looked at the knife, "Strange?" He swung a few more times, "Master, still nothing, maybe I misjudged my feelings." Nana said a bit dejectedly, feeling that she had made a mistake. Seeing her like this, Haihua comforted her, "Your feelings are not wrong, it’s just that this guy is hiding, that’s why you can’t feel it! If I don’t believe you, who should I believe?" He patted the knife in his hand. Nana looked at Haihua with a touched expression.

Boss Samu murmured the name Haihua, ignoring the three individuals, and walked to the counter to take out a well-preserved notebook. He flipped it open, revealing it filled with densely packed words and dates, all of which were names. That notebook appeared to be several decades old, indicating it must have been meticulously cared for to remain in such good condition

Haihua noticed the appreciative look in his eyes as he gazed at the knife, and his heart skipped a beat (please don't argue with me). He quickly decided to retreat in order to advance, saying, "Since this uncle likes it, I will choose again. I will let this knife go to the uncle!" The boss, not waiting for the man to respond, quickly interjected, "Take your time to choose again; any knife is better than this one. I wanted to tell you as soon as I saw you pick this knife." He noticed the man's skeptical expression.

"How can that be?" Haihua exclaimed in astonishment

Seeing someone suddenly rush in, the shop owner was startled. Upon hearing Haihua's words and seeing him anxiously looking with his legs crossed, he couldn't help but smile knowingly and pointed towards the back of the shop. Haihua dashed in like a gust of wind.

"Alright!" Haihua replied. He wanted to say a few more words, but upon seeing the clock on the wall, he exclaimed, "Oh no! It's 10:30! I'm late!" He jumped up and said, "Nana, let's go!" Before he could finish his sentence, he ran out. Outside, a voice gradually faded, "Uncle Satu, thank you for the knife you gave me. I will come to play with you when I have the chance! ..." The voice eventually became inaudible.

After a while, Haihua came out, pulling up his pants. "Ah, that feels so good!" After fastening his pants, he smiled and nodded at the boss, saying, "Thank you, boss, otherwise I would have wet my pants!" The boss shook his head with a smile, indicating that no thanks were necessary.

On May 23, 2378 of the Shenlong Calendar, a used knife was presented to Haihua Huang

The burly man with a scruffy beard felt a jolt in his heart upon seeing Nana. He realized that not just anyone could possess an elf, and he suspected that Haihua's reluctance to part with the sword was due to its extraordinary nature. Just as he was about to chase after him, he hesitated, remembering that the fellow named Haihua had clearly stated he would give it to him, yet he had failed to recognize its value. How could he now pursue him? He stamped his foot in regret, disregarding the puzzled looks from his two companions, and went off to select a weapon, but he made a mental note of the name Haihua Huang.

Haihwa noticed that the boss seemed a bit troubled, so he said, "Boss, you go attend to them; I can manage on my own!" The boss hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Alright! If you find a suitable weapon, let me know." Seeing Haihwa nod, he went to greet those few formidable individuals.

My name is Haihua Huang! What about you, boss?" Haihua asked after stating his name

Haihwa saw Nana selecting items and decided to take a break, wandering around the store. Looking here and there, he noticed a pile of worn-out weapons haphazardly stacked in the corner. Curiosity got the better of him, and he walked over to examine them, squatting down to rummage through the mess.

Boss! I want this knife. Haihua handed over the knife, which had been inserted back into the black sheath.

"Aren't you going to change it?" The boss looked at Haihua with curiosity. Seeing Haihua shake his head resolutely, the boss understood that he would not change his mind and could only regretfully say, "Alright! Since you have made your decision... I will give you that knife."

The walls and floor were filled with weapons and equipment, including a giant sword that was 2 meters long and 1 foot wide, as well as slender swords the thickness of a finger and 1.5 meters long. There were also large knives, axes, bows and arrows, and daggers of various styles and sizes. The armors were diverse as well, available in colors such as white, red, blue, gold, and black, with only two styles: one that protected the upper body and another that provided full-body protection.

Nana was drawn over by Haihua's exclamation, seeing him holding the knife. "Master, what kind of knife is that? It looks like both a sword and a knife." Haihua smiled, "This is a Japanese sword." Nana was momentarily taken aback, "Japanese sword? Master, I have never seen such a strange knife. How do you know it is called a Japanese sword?" "Oh, it's nothing, just a slightly curved long knife." It was then that Haihua realized that such a knife did not exist in this world. Although Nana found Haihua's off-topic response strange, she did not dare to ask further.

The boss chuckled and asked, "Young man, how is it? Are you looking to choose a weapon that suits you?"

That is... tell me your name! The condition proposed by the boss left everyone who heard it in shock

"Why apologize? Do we need to be so polite between us? If you see that I am not awake, just kick me with your foot; if that doesn't work, then shock me. Can you generate electricity?" Seeing Nana nodding, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly stopped. "Oh dear! It's better not to say anything; once I do, I really feel a bit urgent!" I didn't go to the bathroom after getting up in the morning, and after running around for a while, it's quite urgent!

The boss turned to a blank page and began to write.

"Samu Sasi." After the boss mentioned the name, he added, "Come by and have some fun when you have time in the future"

The boss was unable to withstand Haihua's gaze and also felt a sense of reluctance to refuse him. Thus, the boss began to tirelessly introduce various weapons to Haihua.

Ah! Haihua exclaimed in surprise as he saw a black knife sheath. Upon taking it out, he remarked to himself, "It looks like a Japanese sword." Grasping the handle, which was over 20 centimeters long, he pulled it out to reveal a blade measuring over 80 centimeters in length and 3 to 4 centimeters in width, slightly curved. The entire blade was black and covered in rust. He touched the edge and found it very dull. The whole knife gave off an unremarkable and ordinary impression. Haihua paid no mind to whether the knife was dull or rusty, joyfully looking around.

He had always been fond of Japanese swords and had collected many through his father's connections at home in the original world, including several famous swords, such as the legendary Muramasa demon sword.
