Hilary rubbed the wounds on his trousers, where there was intact skin.
If it weren't for the wound on his trousers and the bloodstain around it, Hilary would have thought it was just a dream.
But the pain when the fruit knife pierced his thigh and the weakness of the blood flowing quickly was still left in his perception.
However, even if a skilled doctor came, it would take a lot of effort to cure the injury. Unexpectedly, it returned to normal because of a few unknown words.
Such a wonderful scene was even more bizarre and unbelievable than the appearance of the summoning book.
"Is this magic?"
After casting a glance at the beautiful figure who was looking back and forth in the display cabinet and playing with football and basketball from time to time, he asked Ethan next to him.
"Probably!"
Ethan spread out his hands, indicating that he was not sure.
After he killed goblins and scared those hooligans away, Freya, who was following him, took the initiative to treat the injuries of Hilary.
Ethan was surprised.
He had thought that Freya would be a little resistant to others and protect herself in a very small range because of that miserable experience.
"It's just an ordinary magic treatment! There's no need to be so surprised."
Although she was interrupted by the hood, Freya still heard the conversation between the two.
"Are you the manager Ethan mentioned?"
This time, Hilary saw the face under Freya's hood.
Beneath her soft golden hair were her blue beautiful eyes, which were as deep as the sea.
She was more beautiful and perfect than all the women Hilary had seen in his previous life.
This was the face he saw at this moment.
The beauty could not be described in words.
It seemed that it didn't look like the face that could appear in the human race.
In an instant, an idea flashed in Hilary's mind.
"I just heard from those hooligans that someone had destroyed a goblin tribe. Is that you? Ethan?"
Ethan blinked and asked in confusion.
"Are you kidding me, Hilary? How do you think I'm the one who dares to rush into the monster cave?"
As soon as he finished his words, Freya burst into laughter.
"Ethan, you are the strongest warrior I've ever seen!"
Ethan was taken aback.
"Freya, you..."
"Hahaha! Miss Freya, you are so straightforward, not like someone who wants to hide everything even if he has done something good."
Hilary still had something to say.
As an experienced manager, Hilary naturally saw the reason why Freya covered her face with a hood.
What's more, according to the hooligans and Freya, Ethan not only destroyed the goblin tribe but also saved a group of poor women. Among these women, it was very likely that Freya would be a part of them.
Thinking of this, Hilary forced himself to stop thinking.
"Ethan, are you here to adjust your equipment?"
Ethan nodded and handed the bow to Hilary. Then he said.
"Freya is interested in this equipment, so I brought her here. Besides, I have another idea that I want you to help me."
Hilary took the bow and kept silent for a while. Then he put the bow on the table, stood up to make sure that there was no one outside, and closed the door.
"Now that Miss Freya is also interested, please follow me. Maybe it's their turn now."
Hilary sighed, picked up the bow, and signaled Ethan and Freya to follow him.
It turned out that there was a hidden door behind the checkout counter.
As he opened the door, Hilary sighed.
"Since the first manager of the sports equipment store, there has been a private transaction."
"Private transaction? For weapons?"
Ethan looked at the bow in Hilary's hand.
Since Ethan got the bow, he felt that the power of the bow was a little beyond the scope of sports competition.
"No, it's not for weapons. But you are right if you say so."
Hilary shook his head and continued.
"The first manager will help some special customers search for the equipment they want in the world. Among them, there are bows, arrows, swords, and other things related to the gray area. But..."
"But?"
"But after the second manager took over it, the gray transactions gradually left the sports equipment shop. When I took over it, the shop almost lost its glory when it was operated by the first manager."
The three of them walked through the long passage and came to an iron gate.
Hilary took out the key and opened the iron door.
"The rest are the last glorious equipment of the sports equipment store."
"Clap!"
"Clap!"
When the lights were turned on one by one.
What appeared in front of Ethan and Freya were longbows and short bows hanging on the wall.
Under these arrows were display boxes covered by glass.
There were all kinds of sports equipment in it.
Among them, there were sabers and swords.
What Ethan noticed more was the huge stone carving placed in the middle of the room.
"Is this a stone carving?"
Ethan stepped forward and found that the stone carving had a figure similar to a sword with one blade.
At its end, there was a handle as long as 40 centimeters.
Ethan tried to open his arms and measure the length of the carving. It was much longer than what he had seen.
"Is this an antique?"
Seeing Ethan's action, Hilary stepped forward and touched the glass covering the stone carving, with a trace of nostalgia on his face.
"This is the first thing the first shop manager found from the ruins of an ancient country. Although several customers had spent a lot of money buying this stone sculpture, they all gave it back in the end. As time went by, this stone sculpture had been here until today.
"Really?"
Ethan estimated in his mind that the length of the stone carving seemed to match Edgar's current size. But he didn't know how strong it was.
"Manager, is this a stone carving?"
Hilary nodded.
"This is indeed a stone. Before it was bought by a customer, the first shop manager had entrusted an authority to examine it. The result showed that it was made of materials similar to granite. But the only thing puzzled is that the strength of this stone carving should not be the strength that granite should have. Even bullets or bombs couldn't damage it."
After a pause, Hilary continued.
"That's exactly the reason why there are still customers who want to collect this stone sculpture even if they know that other customers have returned it."
"Really?"
Ethan thought for a while and sighed.
He felt that the stone sculpture was not suitable enough.
"Ethan, if you are interested in this stone carving, I can give it to you.
"Really?"
Ethan asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's true. The stone carving has been here for decades. Even if I want to sell it out, probably no customer would want it! What's more, this city..."
Hilary gave a bitter smile.
"From now on, I'm afraid this shop can't continue. I hope I can have another summoning beast. Ethan, this is the condition I give you this stone sculpture. What do you think?
"Those hooligans?"
Ethan didn't say yes immediately. Instead, he asked.
"Sort of!"
Hilary raised his hand to call out the summoning book and showed a blank page to Ethan.
"I used to have a summoning beast. However, it died on the way back here. Today, I finally figure it out! If you can help me get another summoning beast, not only this stone sculpture but also all the equipment here can be chosen by you.
Ethan was tempted by such a generous reward.
He didn't expect that Hilary would make such a decision.
At this moment, Freya took down a bow from the wall.
Judging from its appearance, it should be a short bow of the same origin as the one Ethan used.
"Ethan, I remember that in the forest, there are some magical beasts that suit the manager."
Freya reached out and pulled the bow in her hand. A trace of satisfaction appeared on her face.
"How about we take the manager to the forest? I still remember the way there!"
The two of them fixed their eyes on Freya, who said frankly.
"This is called the anti-curve bow, right? I like it very much!"
Ethan touched his head and looked at Hilary.
"It seems that we have made a deal!"
"Ha-ha! Thank you very much! By the way, may I know what kind of magical beast Miss Freya is talking about?"
Seeing that Ethan and Freya had agreed, Hilary was very happy.
"Well, it's a bear."
Freya recalled.
"But it has been a while since the last time I saw it. I don't know if it is still there. But it doesn't matter. If that guy is not there, there are other choices!"
Freya smiled and made a gesture with the bow in her hand.
"I'm very satisfied with the bow. So, please don't worry!"
After a discussion, a new problem appeared.
"Ethan, how can we get the stone carving out now? I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to move out if we only rely on the two of us."
Ethan thought for a while and came up with an idea.
However, the space here seemed to be a little small.
"I have an idea. But we have to move things around first."
The three of them finally cleared up a space about three meters wide.
After a while, Ethan opened the summoning book and called out Edgar.
As soon as Edgar appeared, the eyes of Hilary widened.
At this moment, he was sure that Ethan was the one who destroyed the goblin tribe and saved a group of poor women.
"My master, it's so narrow here!"
Edgar, who finally came out to breathe some fresh air, stretched his body. When he found that it was too narrow, he said with a grievance.
"Hold on for a while. Try to take that stone carving out and see if you can take it back to the summoning book."
Ethan pointed at the stone carving. And Edgar's eyes lit up with greed.
"My master, is that for me?"
"Yes, if you can pick it up."
"Yes, my master!"
Edgar shouted excitedly.
The thunderous sound kept rolling in the secret room, making Freya cover her ears.
"Edgar, calm down!"
Ethan roared, which scared Edgar.
"Take your weapon! Don't yell here!"
"Yes, my master!"
This time, Edgar's voice was much lower and a little aggrieved.
Freya chuckled at his grievance.
"Crack!"
Edgar's palm crushed the glass and slowly and forcefully grabbed the handle of the stone sculpture.
Then, the muscles all over Edgar's body tightened and exerted force!
"Get up!"
A light shout!
The heavy stone carving was slowly raised by Edgar as the glass collapsed.
At this moment, a gentle wind from nowhere suddenly blew into the secret room.
It seemed to be joy!
It was the joy of meeting a powerful existence!
It was the joy of being able to leave this dark room!
In the breeze, Hilary could not help but feel that this might be the most correct decision he had made in his life!
A powerful summoning beast.
In addition, the unfathomable and hardstone carving,
No!
At this moment, the stone sculpture in Edgar's hand was no longer the one lying quietly in the showcase!
It was a terrible weapon that could kill the enemy in a battle and make the enemy tremble with fear!
"Stone sword!"
It was a terrible stone sword!
Perhaps there was a similar legend in the memory of Hilary.
And the name that appeared in the legend was probably in line with what Hilary had seen at the moment.
"Ethan, how about we call this stone carving ax sword?"
"Ax sword? Good name!"
