"You don't want this one, do you?"
Noticing Rayn's gaze, the boss raised an eyebrow in surprise. To be honest, if Rayn wasn't from that guild, he would have thought he was just messing with him. This sword weighed as much as the little girl. Even for well-trained soldiers or ordinary mercenaries, it would be no simple task to use it in battle.
It wasn't that they couldn't swing it. But swinging and using were completely different concepts. Swinging only took a moment. A battle required great strength and stamina. Otherwise, after just a few swings, their condition would decline, and they wouldn't be able to fight at all. This weight could even slow a person down.
Although the boy was a mage, he was not old. The boss was very doubtful.
"Yes," Rayn also noticed the boss's suspicious gaze. He didn't say much and directly reached out and grabbed the hilt. The white cloth was slightly soft, and it was obvious that leather was also wrapped underneath.
Thinking this, Rayn exerted his strength and picked up the greatsword.
"It's a bit lighter than that axe," Rayn thought to himself, feeling the weight of the greatsword in his hand.
But at that time, he was using boost, so it was very easy to use. Now that he wasn't using boost, this weight was suitable for him now. It was still a bit heavy for daily use. But after using magic to enhance his body, this weight didn't have much of an effect on his speed, and he could use it for a long time.
If he had another ten days or half a month, under the nourishment of that power, this weight would no longer have any effect even during daily use.
After making a guess, Rayn turned and swung it down at an empty space.
"Whoosh."
A heavy whistling sound immediately echoed in the room. The huge sword body was stopped when it was swung down. From extremely fast to still. It gave people a sense of contradiction.
"As expected of someone from that guild. I underestimated you earlier," the boss said, giving him a thumbs up and frankly admitting his mistake.
To be able to stop the swinging sword so easily, and the sword body didn't even shake. It was clear that this sword was still within this child's acceptable range.
Rayn placed the greatsword on the ground. The blade and the ground made a heavy sound when they collided. He turned to look at the boss and smiled.
"Even if you say nice things, I won't give up on haggling."
"Haha! 25,000 Jewel!" the boss laughed nonchalantly and directly quoted his price.
"I spent a lot of effort on this sword. Not only did I spend a lot of metal, but it also took a long time to forge."
"This price is already me selling it to you at a loss!"
After a series of words, Rayn only summarized two words: too high.
"You just put this weapon in the corner. There's even dust on the inside, and there's no friction on the wall when it moves."
"Boss, this weapon is hard to sell, isn't it?" Rayn said with an innocent smile, pointing to the inside of the greatsword and the wall, stating his observation.
"..."
This directly made the boss's eyes twitch. He couldn't help but be surprised by the boy's observation skills. Compared to the swords on the wall, this heavy weapon was indeed difficult to sell. After all, not everyone had the strange strength of the boy in front of him.
What's more, the sword in Rayn's hand was made by him out of playfulness, fusing many leftover metals. What he said about spending a lot of time was indeed not a lie. The pride of a blacksmith made him not neglect even his playful works. He still forged the sword with all his heart. It could be said that he spent more time on it than the swords on the wall.
But after forging it, he found that there was a problem. This sword was too heavy. Soldiers and ordinary mercenaries couldn't use it at all. Those who could use it could buy magic weapons with special effects. This put the sword in an awkward situation.
But he was completely reluctant to throw it away, so he could only pile it up with the greatswords here, waiting for someone to take a fancy to it. Spring passed and autumn came, until now it was chosen by the boy in front of him.
"Sigh, just say it. How much are you willing to pay?" the boss sighed and no longer refuted. He looked at the greatsword with a complicated expression.
"15,000 Jewel."
"That's too ruthless!" This price directly made the boss's eyes widen. But looking at the boy's smiling expression, he thought that after missing this time, he didn't know how long this sword would have to be placed.
"Forget it, forget it. So be it," he said, waving his hand weakly, his tone heavy.
When Rayn walked out of the shop with the weapon that was taller than him on his back, his heart still ached a little. The reward from the two missions, besides the money he returned to Makarov, he had spent more than half of the 20,000 he had left. His originally full wallet was suddenly deflated.
"Guest, treat your equipment like a lover. If it's damaged, you can bring it to me for repair," the boss, who had already adjusted his mood, said with a smile.
"You have to earn me back several times the cost before you can damage it!"
Regarding the words behind him, Rayn just waved his hand, then patted the greatsword behind him and muttered with resentment. The greatsword was carried diagonally on his back, avoiding the need to carry it on his shoulder because he was not tall enough. The device for hanging the greatsword was a magic tool given by the boss.
A dark leather single-shoulder strap crossed from Rayn's right shoulder to his left waist. At the center of his back was a piece of soft leather. The size of the leather was the same as the greatsword's blade, and there was a buckle at the back of his right shoulder to hold the hilt. This was not an ordinary buckle, but a small magic tool.
Normally, the upper and lower parts of the buckle would release a magnetic force to fix the greatsword. It would not fall off whether he ran or jumped. If Rayn wanted to take it off, he just needed to use his magic power to cut off the magic tool's magic power supply. The magnetic force would disappear, and he could easily take off the greatsword.
Along the way, Rayn and Kanna attracted even more attention. In the past, it was just because of Kanna's cuteness. But this time, it was more because of Rayn and the greatsword on his back. A child carrying a greatsword that was a head taller than him. This scene was extremely strange even in Magnolia, where there were many mages.
Rayn didn't care about the expressions of the surrounding residents at all. He walked towards the plain with a calm expression. His mind was filled with only one thought. Quickly master Giant Magic and the use of the greatsword and adult form. Then take on missions to make money!
Now, he was full of making money! Make money! Still make money!
"Whoa."
Kanna exclaimed from the side. Her sky-blue eyes seemed to see the burning fire rising from the boy beside her.
On this day, the figure on the plain shone with an even more dazzling light.
