Chapter 278 People Swarming
Garethen stared blankly at the brown magic sword in his hand, his face dull.

In order to prevent the two from cheating, it was finally decided that Garethen would use the sword made by the dwarves, while Steklin would use Garethen's sword to compete.

In the moment just now, when the two swords clashed, he only used a little force, and his sword broke into several pieces like a fragile ice cube, with a faint mist rising when it fell to the ground.

"How. How is it possible?"

Garethen subconsciously glanced at the sword made by the dwarf. No matter how hard he looked, the sword was flawless and there was no visible defect.

The onlookers were silent, as this time Steklin had truly proven the quality of his magic sword.

It can even break the weapons of the empire's famous adventurers with one strike. It can definitely be considered a high-level magic item.

No one suspected that Garethson had colluded with Steklin in advance, because no adventurer would use the weapon he had fought for through life and death to act as a shield for someone else.

"How much is this sword?" Garethen asked bluntly.

"After the 20% discount, I'll give you 600 gold coins." Steklin smiled and stretched out a hand.

"Six hundred gold coins? Or is it the price after a 20% discount?"

When Steklin quoted the price, many people were dumbfounded. This meant that the full price for such a magic sword would be seven hundred and fifty gold coins. Few people could afford such a high price. Only the nobles, big businessmen, and the top adventurers in the empire could afford it.

Amid a round of boos, Gareson took out a purse from his bag and handed it to Steklin, asking, "Would you like to count it?"

Steklin weighed the bag and could easily determine the amount of money with his sensitivity to metal quality. He said calmly, "I believe that human friends will not deceive me. The deal is done."

Perhaps because of Steklin's trust, Garethen's expression looked better. He nodded slightly and left with the sword.

"Thank you, Mr. Garethson Raman, for being the first customer of this event. I hope this sword can accompany you to the highest peak of adventure. Then, if there are friends who are interested in purchasing, please line up here. We will have someone to receive you."

"Of course, we only have three hours of sales today, and each person is limited to buying three. Please hurry up."

After completing a business deal, Tokaus no longer dared to let Steklin say anything more and went straight to the point.

Tokaos wiped a cold sweat from his forehead and secretly thanked Garethen. If Garethen had not appeared, even if this sale had ended perfectly, the reputation of Starlight Trading Company would still have suffered a great deal of damage. After all, the swords produced by Starlight Trading Company were easily broken. However, having Garethen, a famous adventurer, suffer a second defeat was actually a good thing for Starlight Trading Company. It barely reduced the blow to the company's reputation. There might still be some impact, but people would only sigh that the magic sword made by the dwarf master craftsman was very powerful.

What made Tokaos speechless the most was that Steklin actually changed the price on the spot. The price that Starlight Trading Company had originally agreed with Steklin was 600 gold coins per sword, and the final profit would be split 40% to 60%. Unexpectedly, Steklin casually said "600 gold coins after 20% discount", which was equivalent to a significant increase in money. However, this was also beneficial to Starlight Trading Company, and Tokaos could not interfere. However, the final distribution of benefits might have to go through more twists and turns.

After witnessing the power of the sword with their own eyes, those "big customers" who could really afford it were tempted. They walked to the purchasing area without hesitation and started queuing.

Some people who did not have enough money on them ran back to get money, while others lined up and asked their companions to go back to get money. In short, the scene became very chaotic.

"Brother, wait for me here for a while. I'll come find you after I finish shopping."

Dak, who had extremely despised dwarves not long ago, also couldn't escape the 'true fragrance law' and ran over to line up happily. "Eh? Why are you here too?" Dak was surprised to find that Luo Qiu actually followed him.

"If you can buy it, I can buy it too." Luo Qiu said as a matter of course.

"I didn't expect you to be worth so much." Dak was a little surprised at first, but he quickly accepted the fact. To be honest, seven hundred and fifty gold coins might be an astronomical figure for most people, but it was nothing for the Eroyeken family. Don't look at Dak like this, he holds the economic power of the Eroyeken family, otherwise he would not be able to come up with an astronomical amount of gold coins to buy the divine relic in Roserowe.

Originally, Dak thought Luo Qiu was just an ordinary person, but now it seems that he was wrong.

"Luo Qiu, you should be an adventurer, right?" Dak asked uncertainly while waiting in line.

"How did you figure that out?" Luo Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, I am a working adventurer."

"That's easy." Dark said proudly, "Except for people like me, most of the people who come to buy magic swords are adventurers. I'm not bragging, I can recognize more than 80% of the nobles and wealthy people in the empire."

"So you think I'm an adventurer? That's too hasty. Maybe I'm a great noble you don't know."

"After being in the aristocratic circle for a long time, it is easy to distinguish between insiders and outsiders." Dak said proudly.

“It sounds pretty impressive.”

There were many more people lining up than expected, but think about it, this is the capital of the Kendenia Empire, almost all the richest people in the country gathered here, seven hundred and fifty gold coins is a lot, but many people can still afford it if they grit their teeth. This price may be too high for a magic sword made by a dwarf master craftsman, but after witnessing its power with their own eyes, the grade of this sword was unconsciously raised to a higher level in people's minds, and there were not too many complaints about the price.

Luo Qiu and Dak were the first ones to line up, and about an hour later it was their turn.

"Lord Dark?" Tokaus recognized Dark's identity the first time he saw him.

Dak had accompanied Grand Duke Eroyeken to the Starlight Trading Company many times, and given his iconic figure, Tokaus naturally recognized the eldest son of the Eroyeken family easily.

"Hey, Tokaus, long time no see. You got promoted too." Dak glanced at Tokaus.

"It is a great honor for Lord Dake to visit us. Why didn't you contact us earlier? I would have sent someone to bring you here directly."

"Tsk, stop pretending to be nice to me." Dake seemed to be very familiar with Tokaus and said directly: "Give me a dozen quickly, my friend and I have something to do."

"Friend?" Tokaus then looked at Luo Qiu standing beside him. It was a strange face, but since the other party was related to the eldest son of the Eroyeken family, he should have some status.

Tokaus nodded to Luo Qiu as a greeting, and said with a smile: "Master Dake, our company has a rule today that each person can only buy three. You see..."

"I can only buy three?" Dak was immediately unhappy.
