On the side, Lu Qing saw Lu Qing lifting the heavy giant sword with one hand, and the old man sitting on the wooden chair said.
"How can I be a mercenary if I don't have much strength?" Lu Qing said casually.
"Mercenary, I really can't tell." The old man looked at Lu Qing's outfit and said, "I thought you were a thief or an assassin, little girl."
The old man said, his eyes slightly narrowed, exuding a sophisticated aura.
"Although I have retired, it stands to reason that even if I discover an anomaly and treat it as if I didn't see it, I still want to warn you. I don't care what your purpose is in making that kind of assassination weapon."
"But once I find out that this kind of weapon is circulating on the market, or if you cause any trouble, believe me, you will regret it!"
"..."
Lu Qing didn't speak. She looked at the old man sitting on the wooden chair. Under the other man's fierce momentum, Lu Qing felt that the person in front of her was not an old man with gray hair on his temples, but a bloody man holding a battle axe.
Fighting warrior.
As for the other party's thoughts, Lu Qing can also guess some of them.
If an unprecedented and ingeniously designed assassination weapon were circulated on the market, even if it was expensive to make, it would probably cause quite a stir.
As a general of the empire, the old man has retired now, but he still has to take care of things like this.
In addition to this, there were actually some things that Lu Qing didn't know about.
Whether he is a killer, an assassin, or a thief, he is definitely not popular anywhere.
After all, as long as the money is enough, the killer will not care who the person being assassinated is, so he often creates a lot of mess.
When the old man saw the design of the Hidden Blade, he immediately suspected that he was in love with Lu Qing and Fang Qingrou.
I feel that the two of them may be killers or assassins, and they may have something to do if they stay in Fenghua City.
But if I think about it again, if I am a serious assassin, who would come to such a formal weapons store to build equipment, and it is "fine steel craftsmanship" that has close cooperation with the official.
Going to the black market is not much better than here. Although the price may be more expensive, as a killer, how can you be short of money?
However, the fact is that the other party not only came to such a regular weapons store, but also did not pay the deposit for the weapons. He seemed a little embarrassed.
Although he had many doubts in his heart, the old man still investigated the two people immediately.
Of course, the place of birth and relatives were not found. It was only known that the two of them had stayed in the town sealed by the fog during the [Misty Town Sealation] incident four months ago.
From the report submitted by the local priest, it was found that the girl named Lu Qing helped the priest in the town and solved the fog problem in the town.
And that string of throwing knives was given to him by the local priest.
As for the source of the hidden sword design, naturally I couldn't find it.
In order to further investigate, the old man sent a letter to the priest in the foggy town using a carrier pigeon. After ten days of urgent letter delivery, he finally received a reply from the priest.
In the letter, the priest gave most of the information about the girl, such as that the other party was an ordinary girl and that he had learned how to throw a throwing knife.
As for the hidden sword, the priest said he had never heard of it or seen it.
Finally, at the end, it was stated that the girl named Lu Qing could never be a dangerous person.
After receiving the priest's reply, the old man's vigilance had almost dissipated.
Especially when he learned that Lu Qing and Fang Qingrou accepted the commission from the opera house and became the protagonists of the opera.
Look, is this what a killer should do?
Of course, all of this may actually be a disguise, but when combined with the previous things, the credibility is very high.
So in the end, the old man agreed to the weapons shop owner's request and handed over the tools.
In fact, if it weren't for the slow delivery of the tools, Lu Qing's hidden sword would have been completed eight days ago.
After all, this thing is not that big, so how could it take so many geniuses to make it?
However, even though he agreed to the production of the Hidden Blade, in order to prevent Lu Qing from leaking this dangerous design, and to confirm it with his own eyes at the end, the old man still came here on the day the weapon was completed, waiting for Lu Qing and Fang Qingrou
arrival.
"I'm so worried about the empire." The old man touched his chin and thought in his heart.
Even though he is already retired, he is still doing such tiring work, and the empire won’t increase his pension, so why bother?
Suddenly, the more the old man thought about it, the more he felt at a loss. He had lost a lot of his precious hair these days while investigating this and that. In the end, he realized that he had actually thought too much.
Well, he is actually free. He has nothing to do after retirement, and he doesn't want to be like those ordinary old people who do nothing every day, just sit around chatting and discussing how their descendants are doing.
I finally found something to do, but I got too excited and devoted 12% of my energy to this thing in one day.
After checking the results, I told him that there was nothing wrong with it, it was just that you were overthinking.
It was inevitable that I would have some regrets afterwards.
Looking at the two silent little girls in front of him, the old man felt that his aura might have frightened them, so he slowly regained his aura and said:
"In short, just don't let the design of this weapon spread. Also, don't do bad things. You can leave."
Looking at the old man in front of him who was changing rapidly, Lu Qing was a little confused for a moment?
That's it. Shouldn't we investigate further?
Two people who don't know the details at all hold an influential assassination weapon design in their hands. As a former general of the empire, is it really okay for you to let the person go like this?
Well, Lu Qing had no idea that the other party that should be investigated had already been investigated. In the end, he could only sigh that this was indeed a dream, and things that had nothing to do with the main plot would not become too complicated.
But she still had things to do, so of course she wouldn't leave just like that.
Shaking her head, Lu Qing looked at the weapons store owner aside and said, "I don't want to leave just yet. I have some things I want to ask the boss."
"Uh." Hearing Lu Qing's words, the weapon shop owner was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What do you want to ask?"
"Um, I want to ask you if you know Miss Shanara." Lu Qing thought for a while and asked.
"Um..." The weapon shop owner didn't expect Lu Qing to ask this question. He glanced at the old man sitting on the wooden chair, hesitated and said, "I know you. What's wrong?"
"That's it." Lu Qing organized his words and said:
"Miss Shanara has been in a bad mood recently. Although I want to help, there is nothing I can do. I just thought about giving her something she likes, but I don't know what she likes, so I want to find someone who knows her.
