In the armory of the village, David was looking for a sword. He did not know which one would suit him better. The sword he got from his father did not suit him anymore, because it was very used, and it was not sharp anymore. Another reason to change it was that the sword was too small and too light for his strength.
He needed a sword he could use and at the same time it should not be light, because the technique of his house based on heavy swords.
The problem now was that there was not a sword that fits him, because the village did not have a single knight, so they did not need to sell weapons for them. They only had normal weapons. Even the sword he had now was better than those.
The owner of the armory looked at them from the side and he was smiling the whole time. He was excited about selling something because he did not sell anything since a long time.
"Dear client, if you need any help, then tell me."
David who did not find anything, tried to ask the owner, maybe he had something hidden in the storage.
"Do you any heavy swords, these here are very light?"
The owner then looked at the young man in front of him and asked:
"Are you a knight?"
"Yes, I am."
"Sorry, but we don't have any suitable swords here. These swords are made for hunters and normal guards."
David sighed and then he wanted to leave, but suddenly Noah asked:
"Can you repair a sword?"
The owner of the armory hesitates, but then he nodded.
"Perfect, David give him your sword."
The owner took the sword from David and looked at it.
"it's indeed a heavy sword, only a knight would use such a sword. But it is very used and had a lot of cracks. I guess you used it a lot. It is hard, but I can still save this sword. If you want, I can made it heavier and sharper if you give me a day."
David and Noah looked at the owner of the armory with suspicious, this man did not have even a single weapon for knight, but he wants to improve it.
The owner saw their expression and laughed and explained them:
"Even if you do not forge any strong weapon, it doesn't mean that I can't. My master was one of the best smiths in the continent, but my talent lacked a lot and I did not make it big. I decided to sell and forge normal weapons instead, but I can also repair strong weapons too. Give me one day and the sword will be ready. You can choose one sword here and use it till I am finish working."
This time David did not know what to do, he loved this sword, because it was a gift from his father and his first sword too. But he needed a strong sword to save his sister, so at the end he trusts this man in front of him.
After setting a time to come tomorrow. Noah and David went to the clothes shops and searched for black clothes and then they bought other things. It was everything for the rescue mission.
"David, when they come tomorrow, we will hide and then follow them from behind. From the information we got they have their camp in the forest. The camp is called Adanac camp and they are the absolute ruler there. They trade with slaves and they are bandits too. They have no mercy and if they find out that we are following them they would stop, and they will not show the way to the Adanac camp. Now, let us sleep, we have a lot to do the next day."
A night passed and a morning passed too.
David and Noah were now back with the owner of the armory and they were looking at the sword on the table.
David was the most shocked, he was sure that this sword was his, but it looked so different, that he could not recognize it too.
The sword, which was one meter before, was now one and half meter. The sword was wider too. The design remains the same, but a few details were added too.
As David took the sword in his hands, he felt the wight of the sword. It was much heavier as before, at least three times heavier. And as he saw the sword edge, he saw himself. It was so sharp that the metal turned to a mirror.
"How did you do that? Even a master in the capital cannot do the same with a sword. You upgrade my sword from a common grade weapon to a rare grade sword. I thought you didn't have any talent."
"indeed I don't have any talent creating a sword, but I am the best repairing and improving weapons, but unfortunately there isn't much people who want to repair a sword for such a large price, therefor I quite repairing weapons and I dedicate to forge normal swords and selling weapons."
"Wow, I think you are wrong. There is a lot of people who loves their swords, but when they break, they are desperate. Like me, if I did not meet with you, I would have bought a new sword."
Then Noah said from the side:
"How about opening a special place only for restoring swords and improving them. You are wasting your talent here. Maybe you did not commercialize yourself good in the past, you can commercialize yourself as the sword's healer pf the swords savior. You need only good advertising."
The lights in the owner's eyes light up and the motivation for doing so was there too. He never thought about such an Idea.
"Thank you very much. Ah, you don't know my name, I am James Smith."
In the next moment, the expression of Noah changed to confusion, then to surprise and then to shock.
Noah knew this name very well; he was a legendary smith, and everyone learned about him in the school. Even if you were not interested in smiths and weapons, you would know about the legendary smith, who forged weapons, that still existed even after 3000 years after his disappearance.
He was part of the Outsiders Devourers, the group which Athrosh lead against the outsiders. He was literally a future part of the Outsiders Devourers and a friend of Athrosh. But he also was one of the groups, which the people did not knew if he died with Athrosh or disappeared.
Even the death of Athrosh is doubted by the people in the future because there were so many versions of the story that nobody knew exactly. But in the history books all the disappeared people were put as dead people. But there was another group of people which said the contrary, they said that Athrosh and the missing members were alive but very injured.
The last group were called conspiracy theorist, and nobody tool the m seriously. Even if they had trustfully proofs, the people ignored them.
