Chapter 118: The Sword of Yurix
"My swordsmanship is the same as that of the Knights. No matter how poor it is, the minimum limit is that I can confront three monsters of the same level. Yurix, I don't have any swordsmanship to teach you now."
Isabella shook her head to refuse. Julius looked a little gloomy, as if he was struggling with something, but he didn't say it clearly.
But he could not hide the sadness of being directly rejected by Isabella, and the change in his expression was hard to conceal.
Isabella thought that it was a good thing that he could be self-reliant, so she changed the subject and asked, "Where did you get the weapon you used?"
"A bounty?" Yuriks scratched his head. "The weapon I use is an entry-level magic sword, which I bought from a trader in the academy. If I can save up enough money to buy ten silver coins, I will buy a new one."
Isabella was a little conflicted at the moment, wondering whether or not she should help him with his living expenses.
"Are you so short of money that you join others in accepting the bounty?" Isabella asked tentatively.
Ulysses sat upright and said stiffly, "I accepted the bounty mission in order to improve my strength. The benefits are secondary. From the moment I entered the academy, I will work hard to become a powerful magic swordsman and improve my strength enough to become a member of the Dragon Riders."
"How about this? I'll take you to the Trade House and buy you a primary magic sword." Isabella stood up and put on a brown cotton coat. "You need good equipment to have more room for maneuver when confronting powerful monsters."
Julius thanked him politely: "...Or we can pay half each. I feel burdened if I use Miss Isabella's money."
Isabella said seriously: "What burden is there? When you become a member of the Dragon Riders in the future, just don't forget me."
Julius' eyes lit up: Miss Isabella is so loyal! In this academy, Isabella is simply a perfect character. She is the top student in the grade, with full marks in all subjects, and she is also an invisible rich man, with superb swordsmanship and magic skills that are far ahead of her peers.
There are many students staying in the college during the winter vacation, and there are many footprints on the snowy road...
Isabella came to the trading house near the east gate of the academy. She seldom came here. The weapons, magic tools and scrolls, as well as various alchemical synthetic materials in the trading house were all made by students. There would also be small monsters traded.
The building of the Institute of Trading is a square five-story building.
The two entered the trading yard and went straight to the weapons area. The hall of the weapons area was brightly lit and about 300 square meters. Isabella and Yurix were the only two people in the huge weapons area.
The second floor of the weapons area is for magical weapons such as staffs and magic books.
Many first-year students saw Isabella and a boy coming and started talking about them.
Girl: "Wow? The lightning Valkyrie is pretty good looking!"
Boy A: "Eh? Who is the boy next to her? He's also a student of the Thunder Department! Could it be... that he's in her class?"
Boy B: "You guys are so forgetful. He's the guy from the fencing competition. He's a first-year student who has made some achievements in fencing."
Isabella ignored the looks and whispers of the students around her and walked into the weapons hall, selecting a suitable entry-level magic sword from a row of red cloth display tables.
Isabella asked, "What style do you need?"
At first glance, Isabella found that the workmanship of the entry-level magic sword was very ordinary, the details were generally polished, and it was obvious that the hilt was a little asymmetrical. The magic power injected was also not as good as that of regular weapon shops.
"I don't know how to choose. Miss Isabella paid for it. I think it's the same to me whichever one you buy. I won't dislike it."
Isabella took a look around the weapon exhibition hall. There were 300 basic magic swords and 50 intermediate magic swords. The quality was hard to describe, after all, they were all made by students.
The price is half cheaper than the market price, and the price of an entry-level magic sword is between six and nine silver coins.
Isabella spent a long time choosing from many different types of beginner magic swords, and finally found a magic sword of average quality. However, the sword body was dark silver, which was relatively ugly among the many swords. However, the magic power infused into this sword was the best among all the swords.
The person in charge of the display case is Yanluo Mig from the Fire Class 2. He is sleeping on the table...
Isabella recognized him and went to say hello, and then he looked at her sleepily.
"…It's Miss Isabella," Yanluo Miguel stretched and said, "Aren't you going back home during the holidays?"
After he stretched, he quickly looked at the silver-gray magic sword in Isabella's hand.
"I just made this sword this month," Yanluo Mig said. "It uses some special materials. It doesn't look that good, but it has the most magic power among all the swords. After all, the academy's trading hall can only sell beginner magic swords. In order to improve the progress..."
He continued to explain the process of making the sword and his own understanding of it. In short, it was an exquisite test product, a homework assignment for an elective course, and he accidentally got the third place in the course...
"… As for the price, five silver coins. If you buy it, I can show it off to my teacher. Miss Isabella is quite sensible. It's just a little ugly, but it's practical. I'll slowly change my taste in the future."
"Why are you making this sword in such a hurry?"
Isabella followed Yanluo Miguel and started talking.
The three of them went to the trading counter at the door.
Yanluo Miguel did not respond directly to this question: "In this academy, you can only do what you want according to your status. I envy Miss Isabella's ability and luck. She has such a close relationship with the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Princess."
Isabella paused. Children of her age are very sensitive to the topic of conversation and knew how to avoid the main point when saying this meaningful remark.
Ulysses, who was standing behind him, couldn't understand what the two were talking about, but it was undeniable that at the moment, he had some ideas in his mind. Now that he had a primary magic sword, he could train better and had enough confidence to break through to the primary magic warlock level within half a year.
Isabella paid the balance, chatted for a while, and secretly gave the Demon Sword the protection of the Holy Envoy, and finally gave it to Ulysses.
"Ms. Isabella, thank you very much for your help. I will always remember your kindness..." Julius thanked her again.
"If you don't mind, I'll buy you a cup of hot tea. If you help me again, I'll feel bad if I don't return the favor..."
Isabella shook her head at Julius' invitation.
Isabella waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need. Your family is not doing well. Keep your own money for yourself. I'm going back to warm myself first... If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me directly."
After listening to Isabella's words, Julius felt for the first time that winter could be so warm, but he couldn't understand why Isabella was so nice to him.
On the way back, Isabella met Erwin, who had a hidden source of magic power and was dressed in the uniform of the lightning class.
Erwin followed Isabella one meter away and said in a light but heavy voice, "Lady Saint, according to your instructions, we have begun investigating the magic fog and black cloud. Currently, there is no clue to prove that the magic fog and black cloud are flowing naturally. We are also investigating the whereabouts of the king-level monsters. We will know the result tomorrow."
