Chapter 370: Weapon That Should Not Appear
How about it, young man? I didn't trick you, right?
Seeing Gu Han's dazed look, the vendor immediately grabbed and closed the package again.
He said with a wicked smile,
I suppose you, young man, are also a connoisseur, so you should understand the value of these Fellow, right?
Gu Han withdrew his shocked expression and said lightly,
The weapons in your package are all worn out beyond use; how much could they be worth?
Hearing that, the vendor's eyes widened instantly. You say that, but just now you had a shocked expression—do you really think I didn't notice?
Young man, you don't need to say that; if these weapons were in perfect condition, they wouldn't have ended up in my hands.
I can tell you genuinely want them, so just name your price.
Gu Han shrugged,
Who told you I want them?
After saying that, Gu Han immediately turned and left, showing no reluctance whatsoever.
Now it was the vendor's turn to stand there stunned.
No, at least name a price!
Maybe I would have agreed.
You just had a shocked expression, and then you walked away without even asking the price?
Young man, wait for me.
The vendor hurriedly hoisted the package and quickly followed after him.
This way, I won't ask for an exorbitant price—one weapon for ten thousand Sword Edge Coins, how about that?
Robbery?!
Gu Han stopped in his tracks, looking at the vendor in disbelief.
How can you say you're not asking for an exorbitant price?
He pointed to the shops down the street,
Those shops' brand-new weapons are only five thousand Sword Edge Coins each, and you dare ask me ten thousand for this junk?
Is this vendor really treating me like a sucker?
The vendor's expression didn't change; he felt no embarrassment from Gu Han's words and continued,
The items in my package are all fine goods—how could they compare to the ordinary weapons crafted by those shops' artisans?
Gu Han extended a finger,
I won't haggle with you—one thousand Sword Edge Coins per weapon!
If you accept, we have a deal; if not, I'll go find other shops.
Upon hearing that, the vendor's expression immediately became complicated,
Three—
Before he could finish, Gu Han turned and left.
Seeing Gu Han's utterly unreasonable bargaining tactic, the vendor felt his scalp go numb.
One thousand Sword Edge Coins is really too little.
Under normal circumstances, he would absolutely not agree.
But in the recent war, his elder brother was wounded on the battlefield.
Although it wasn't life‑threatening, if he didn't receive timely wound‑healing medicine, he would likely end up with a lingering ailment.
Fine, one thousand each!
The vendor quickly caught up to Gu Han and said through gritted teeth,
This is already a rock‑bottom price; if you still want to haggle, go look elsewhere.
Gu Han grinned, led the vendor to a secluded spot, and picked out three weapons.
They were a dull, scar‑covered damaged halberd;
an ordinary heavy sword that looked no different from a plank;
and a pair of yellowed, worn‑out gauntlets.
I don't have any Sword Edge Coins on me right now—will this work?
Gu Han said, then took out a bag full of coins from his storage space.
Hearing Gu Han say he had no Sword Edge Coins, the vendor's eyes widened in anger and he snatched back his own goods,
No money and you still dare to buy? This is outright robbery——
Before he could finish, he saw a faint golden light emanating from the package in Gu Han's hand.
As Gu Han opened the package, the Heavenly Universe Coins inside appeared before the vendor.
You… you actually have Heavenly Universe Coins?
Everyone knows that Heavenly Universe City is the greatest city in the world.
Heavenly Universe City is well connected, and almost any city‑state in the world can use its currency for trade.
Sword Edge City, although likewise a major world city that has conquered countless regions, is no exception.
Deal!
The vendor hastily handed the three junk items to Gu Han, took the Heavenly Universe Coins, and quickly left.
The exchange rate of Heavenly Universe Coins is far higher than that of Sword Edge Coins!
Watching the vendor, fearful of regretting his decision, Gu Han couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Fortunately, back when he was in Heavenly Universe City, Bai Ce had given him plenty of Heavenly Universe Coins so he could spend freely there.
Otherwise, when Gu Han arrived here, he really couldn't take these three weapons!
These three weapons look unremarkable, but Gu Han, through the system, can sense that they are the weapons originally belonging to the War God, Xiao Wandi, and Bai Ce, who fought in Jianfeng City!
The damaged golden halberd is the weapon the War God wielded during his battles.
The fist gauntlet is Xiao Wandi's sole piece of equipment.
The heavy sword, on the other hand, is Bai Ce's weapon.
"How did these items end up here?"
This place is clearly something the War God experienced thousands of years ago.
According to what Zi Ling mentioned earlier, among all the Savior Heirs, An Jianan is the oldest.
Next in age are Feng Yue Shan and Zi Ling.
Xiao Wandi and Bai Ce can be considered the youngest Savior Heirs.
After all, aside from the Savior Heirs, ordinary people don't live that long.
Even Bai Ce's great‑uncle is still alive.
This shows that Bai Ce's age is far younger than that of the other Savior Heirs!
Weapons don't age, but they can wear down.
Bai Ce's weapon has become this damaged, so how could it, after thousands of years, fall into Bai Ce's hands and appear brand new?
Moreover, among them is the War God's weapon, which no ordinary craftsman could forge!
At that moment, Gu Han suddenly noticed hundreds of people queuing ahead in the distance.
The frontmost line was noisy, apparently excited about something.
Gu Han immediately put away his things and rushed toward that side.
"I heard His Majesty is now selecting personal guards for the next war!"
"I must become His Majesty's personal guard and achieve great deeds!"
"But becoming His Majesty's personal guard must be very dangerous, right? After all, His Majesty differs from other city‑state leaders; he always leads the charge and fears no hardship."
"Dangerous? Does the Jianfeng City dictionary even contain the word 'danger'?"
"To die on the battlefield is the supreme glory of Jianfeng City! Danger is the reward His Majesty gives us!"
With those words spoken, all the warriors queuing nearby nodded in earnest agreement.
Clearly, everyone accepted his statement.
Gu Han noticed that, aside from the person who mentioned possible danger, everyone else seemed to ignore the so‑called danger.
Or rather, for them, danger is just a daily routine!
A heavy rumble suddenly sounded, the gate slowly opened, and a war general clad in Heavy Armor stepped out, speaking with a voice like a Great Bell,
"The next ten warriors, enter the hall!"
The warriors at the front showed delighted expressions and rushed in without hesitation.
