Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 53 - Profit

The crowd went on uproar again. It was one thing to lose a simple Iron Sword, but they could see that the Sword on the guy's waist was of much higher quality. Although it wasn't a Spiritual Equipment, it was definitely much better than an Iron Sword.

The guy went pale for a second. After all, he paid quite a few Spirit Stones for that Sword on his waist. But seeing the crowd looking at him, he understood that he couldn't simply step back anymore.??

"Very well, if you can really Slash through my Rakaz Sword, I will apologize. However, I want to take a look at your Steel Sword First. I want to confirm if it really isn't a Spiritual Equipment."

Juri took back the Steel Sword from the first guy who tested and passed it over. There wasn't the least bit of hesitation in his actions. The person who tested the Steel word just now couldn't help but feel some longing for that weapon, though.

"Alright, how is it? Can you feel any Spiritual Energy in my Steel Sword?"

The guy used his Spiritual Sense several times. Still, he really couldn't see even an iota of Spiritual Energy on it.

"Hmph! There isn't any, but it isn't guaranteed that this Sword can slash through Iron. The trick might have been in the Iron Sword instead."

Juri didn't mind.

"Good. That means you won't complain when we use your Sword for the test, right?"

The guy gritted his teeth and nodded. There was no turning back now.

"However, if your Steel Sword can't slash through my Rakaz Sword, you will have to pay for the damage that it received."

Juri immediately accepted. If this guy knew that even his Spiritual Kaz Sword was slashed through, just what kind of face would he show?

"Great! Is there anyone who is also in the Energy Gathering Realm Middle Stage like this friend here? I would like you to test our Steel Sword."

Immediately, three hands were raised. It was then that Juri saw that one of them just so happened to be a woman. She was really in the middle stage of the Energy Gathering Realm too. Juri knew that if he selected the woman, the Steel Sword would have an even greater impact on everyone's eyes. So he didn't think twice and immediately called her over.

"This young lady over there, please come here."

Be it the woman or the guy with the Rakaz Sword, both were taken aback. Neither side thought that Juri would really select a girl. Still, that also showed Juri's confidence in his Sword.

The girl joyfully came out and grabbed the Steel Sword. She checked it with her Spiritual Sense and had to admit that it really didn't have any Spiritual Energy at all.

"Alright, you two can start anytime you want."

After this big tumult, the crowd looking at the event increased even more. That, of course, made Juri and the others even more thrilled.

The lady and the man also assumed an attack instance and released their Spiritual Energy. Both sides didn't hold back. As soon as Juri gave the signal, they attacked the other side's Sword.

Swish! Clang!

Obviously, the Rakaz Sword was also slashed through without a problem. Of course, due to its higher quality, the Steel Sword suffered some damage on its sides. However, it wasn't anything serious, and the Steel Sword could still be used without a problem. It only needed to be sharpened to eliminate the dent, and it would be good to go.

As for the Rakaz Sword, that was no more. When the guy saw the other half of his Sword on the ground, he almost cried too. He had paid 70 Spirit Stones on that Sword, after all.

As for the crowd, they all cheered. It was really an excellent presentation, and the product seemed to be legit. There is no doubt that their Steel Sword name will spread soon enough.

"Thank you, everyone. This is it for this morning's test. This afternoon, we will make another demonstration. If you wish, please come to see it again. As for those interested in the Steel Sword, you can come inside and select one of the many previously prepared ones. For the people here at the moment, we will give a 10% discount."

Of course, the majority of the people present were only here to watch the show. They didn't really want to buy the Sword. Even those who had an interest, most wouldn't be able to afford such a thing. In the end, only three customers entered the workshop to take a look. Juri wasn't disappointed, though. The real buyers are still oblivious to this event, but that won't be for long.

The girl tried to give the Steel Sword back to Juri, but he shook his head.

"Since this is the first time showing this Sword to the world, I will make an exception. This young lady can have it. Just make sure to ask for a blacksmith to sharpen it again later. Hahaha!"

The girl was obviously ecstatic to hear that. Although she is in the middle stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, she was far from being someone rich. It would be quite difficult for her to pay for such a good sword.

"Thank you, senior."

Juri nodded and returned to the workshop. That morning, the Varen Tribe's Steel Workshop sold two Steel Swords. Rean had talked with Juri before, and they decided to set the price at 200 Spirit Stones. Although the Steel Sword was worth more than 300, that was also the price of a Spiritual Equipment. In the end, people would still opt for the latter. There had to be some advantage in buying a standard sword, thus, 200 Spirit Stones. Of course, those two customers only paid 180 each. One mustn't forget his promises, Juri had declared that he would give a 10% discount to them, and so he did.

When they left, Erkil, his two apprentices, and Juri looked at the Spirit Stones bewildered. The total cost to make those two Steel Swords definitely didn't cost more than one Spirit Stone. But then won 360 in a moment. If this wasn't a profit, then no one would be making a profit in this world.
