Fen asked a simple rhetorical question. Not only was he a professional weapons dealer in Midland, he was surprised by the store owner who knew the history of weapons very well. Even Lin, a time traveler, was also surprised.
If there is one thing in common among the heroic legends, brave stories, and founders of kings in Lost Land, it must be the weapons they used, the magical weapons made by the Haggiri clan. Even the weapons used by some gods or demons are also from
It belongs to the Haggiri clan. The name Haggiri can be traced back to the war between gods and demons before the birth of the old gods, as well as the battle of creation.
The meaning of the word "shakakiri" means that the weapon is so sharp that it will damage the sheath or box in which it is stored. The owner can only carry it in other ways and cannot store it.
I heard that the weapons of the Haggiri clan will choose their owners, and not just anyone can hold them. This also made the shop owner think: "If you put it this way, the reason why the previous owner committed suicide was not that the weapon was cursed.
Is it because they are not qualified to own the weapons of the Haggiri clan?"
Lin asked: "The so-called rumor that it cannot be used except by the identified person does not mean it literally means 'unusable'?"
"Originally, I thought so too. But it is true that in the rumors, there is no mention of what will happen if someone who is not qualified holds it. If it is suicide, it can indeed be explained that people who are not recognized cannot use it."
When the two magicians who walked in by chance revealed the origin of this 'cursed' weapon, the shop owner was not greedy at all. Instead, he started chatting and dealt with Lin. For him, there were no products that could not be used.
The value of the transaction.
Although he could use the name of 'Hakakiri' to sell this sword at a high price among some special groups. But before, everyone avoided it for fear of leaving this trouble on their own hands. The family members of the suicide would only
Thank you for helping them solve their problems.
And the people who are attracted by the name of "Shakakiri" are either rich or noble. If such people die, this will be the beginning of trouble. Maybe there is someone among them who he cannot afford to offend.
Rather than looking for that kind of trouble, it is better to give this 'good thing' away according to the original conditions.
Different from the shop owner's thinking, Lin was thinking about how to make weapons so as to achieve the two conditions of 'selecting users' and 'excluding those who are not suitable'. He thought to himself several possible methods, if
A conditional curse can at most prevent people who do not meet the conditions from using the special ability of a certain prop or weapon, but there is no way to make the holder commit suicide.
Although it is not very difficult for weapons or props to use magicians to create consciousness. Maybe that can be 'selected', but how to make the unqualified holder commit suicide? These are like two completely unrelated topics.
, were forcibly put together. And the means that others could imagine were overthrown by him one by one.
Someone who has always been puzzled can only ask a certain lich in the end: "How do the people of the Haggiri clan be able to distinguish the qualifications of the holder? If every weapon has consciousness, then what?
How?"
Fen said in confusion: "A member of the Haggiri clan? Did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstanding? What do you mean?"
Fen held up the strange weapon on the table with both hands and said, "It is a member of the Haggiri clan."
According to what a certain lich said, the Haggiri clan was not referring to the manufacturer of this weapon, but the weapon itself. So Lin pointed at this strange-shaped weapon in surprise and asked: "What do you mean?
, this weapon is actually a living thing?”
"Creature? Well, you can describe it that way. After all, it can grow, recover itself when damaged, and change its appearance according to the owner's wishes. These are not things that ordinary artifacts can do."
This kind of secret news is undoubtedly quite shocking. However, Lin's acceptance level is much higher than that of the weapon shop owner. He quickly returned to his normal expression. After all, his own origin is also beyond the scope of common sense.
He took the hakiri from Fen's hand and looked at it carefully. The touch on his hand was as cold as metal, without any of the characteristics commonly known to living things in Earth's biology.
But those knowledges are based on carbon-based life. What about non-carbon-based organisms? What about AI artificial intelligence? Can humans be arrogant enough to think that only things defined by humans as organisms can be regarded as having life?
:Boy, what are you thinking about?
A 'voice' suddenly flashed in his mind. Lin immediately understood the content and looked at the Hakiri in his hand in shock. Was it talking to him?
: I’m not telling you, could it be Ah Piao telling you? Hey, Ah Piao? Well, you actually have this interesting concept in your consciousness.
This thing can actually read one's own mind! Of course someone's first thought is to kill someone to silence him... destroy his sword to silence him. After all, he has too many secrets hidden in his heart.
: Do you want to destroy me, outsider? You can't do it. The only people who can hurt me are my people. But you don't have to worry so much. Although I don't come from the same place as you, I'm not like this either.
Creatures native to the world. Just use your term. And I can’t pry into your heart without limit. I can only see those thoughts when they appear in your cerebral cortex. Just like you just now
The first reaction was actually not to kill someone but to silence him, it was just a sentence, 'I saw a ghost'.
"So, when I walked into this store just now, I noticed you. Was it actually you calling me?" Lin asked.
:Why should I call a weak human being like you? If the devil hadn't revealed my identity, I wouldn't bother to care about you at all.
"You know her?"
: The calendar of this world, the demon king from thousands of years ago, Finny Tikal. Of course I know her, especially she also received the help of many of my tribesmen to fight against another group of my tribesmen. I was one of them at that time.
Someone turned around and asked a certain lich: "Have you ever gotten any other Haikiri before?"
"Me? Yes, how did you know? Oh, you must have been talking to it, right?"
"Well, it said it recognized you. It's because you got a lot of sakuri including it before, but you fought hard with others and destroyed a lot of them."
Fen looked nostalgic and said: "At that time, in order to fight against the guards of the old gods, I did collect a lot of them for my subordinates to use. There is no other way. The box cutter is too hard. In addition to using other box cutters,
, there is absolutely no way to deal with it. So, when it mentions this, is it planning to settle a score? I really want to give it a try and see if it can be cut with a ship-cutting sword."
:Hmph, there is no weapon that I cannot change. No matter what the ship-cutting sword she mentioned looks like, as long as it has the same shape, there is no possibility of failure for us and the Haggiri clan.
However, one person did not have any objection to the boastful talk about the weapon in his hand. Instead, he excitedly imagined the image of his ideal weapon in his mind and asked happily: "Is there any way you can change it to look like that?"
:……no……
"Tsk, that's really bad. It's just a GunBuster that's only 250 meters tall. I don't want you to become an SDF-1_Macross with a total length of 1,210 meters. Between nine and eleven meters
Is the Gundom okay? What about the VOTOMS that are about three meters high?”
:...I'm sorry, could you please think of some 'hand-held' weapons?
"Hum! I thought I could just launch a giant robot without climbing the technology tree." Someone curled his lips disdainfully and said this. The evaluation of Hakakiri in his heart has fallen below the passing line and is hovering near the garbage rating.
.
Of course, a certain weapon was born out of doubt. How does the word ‘weapon’ define this man?
Putting this legendary weapon back on the table in disgust, Lin asked Fen: "What are you going to do with this thing? The ship-cutting sword alone has caused us quite a lot of trouble. Hakakiri is
Even I know about the legendary weapons, and those big shots who like to use good things to highlight their status, won’t they come to us for trouble?”
"The only person who might reveal that we have such a thing is..." While thinking about it, Fen and someone cast their sights on the owner of the weapon shop.
How could this man who was familiar with the world not understand the meaning of this look? He quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said: "His Majesty Tikal and Lord Tripwood are famous, how could I, a small shop, choose to hire two of them?"
It's trouble. I just listen to that kind of thing, gain insights, and then it rots in my stomach. How dare I spread it everywhere."
When doing business, the most important thing is the circulation of information. To be able to run a weapons store in a prosperous river port city, the store owner is not a rookie who knows nothing about other things except swords.
From the words and appearance of the two magicians, it was easy for him to determine their identities. Especially the keyword, 'ship-cutting knife', has been the most frequently discussed topic recently. Related background
, naturally familiar with it.
Now that you know the identity of the other party, you have fewer options for how to deal with it. Especially if you bet that the other party is a fake, and then find a way to keep the benefits of Haggiri... This is a gamble with your life. And it is based on your own judgment.
, the chance of losing is very high.
Take a step back and think about it, if the other party is really fake, what have you lost? It's just a cursed weapon exchanged for a few Danba (copper coins). So the shop owner made his choice without hesitation, this thing
, just pretend you have never seen it. In most of the more credible versions, these two are not bloodthirsty, and he can only maintain such a calm appearance, otherwise his legs would have gone weak.
As for the weapons store owner's attitude, Fen didn't delve any further because he was just an insignificant person. On the contrary, it was someone's disgusting attitude that made her curious. She asked: "Do you really think about this legendary weapon?"
Not interested in weapons?"
"You also know that once I use the Flash Technique, all good things will be destroyed. If you don't want it, just leave it for someone who is destined."
:Hey! I’m so bad, what if no one else does?
Even though the thing had left his hand, Haggiri's words still appeared in someone's mind.
Fen put his index finger against his lips and said thoughtfully: "I remember hearing other Haggiris say that they come from a higher-level world, which is different from the lost world. That's what I heard at the time, but now that I think about it,
Maybe they actually come from one of the higher-dimensional worlds we understand. In this way, maybe it itself can resist high-dimensional pollution and does not need additional protection."
At this reminder, Lin suddenly took Shakiri's hand again and asked directly: "Can you really travel through the dimensional space without getting hurt?"
:Although I don’t know exactly what you mean by dimensional space. But if it is the kind of storm related to the World Tree, then I should have no problem. Because my family was brought from other worlds by the World Tree.
