Chapter 101: Task Master Marlon
“An expert, huh.”
Leon couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. After all, Marlon recognizing at first glance that this uniquely shaped watermelon knife was a Galaxy Weapon really made Leon look good.
If it had been someone who didn’t know better, they’d probably have fixated on the weapon’s odd appearance first and then said something factual but unpleasant to hear. Now that would’ve been truly uncomfortable.
“Well, it’s a top-tier weapon every adventurer dreams of. I just didn’t expect you to already own a Galaxy Weapon. Tell me, is it a family heirloom, or did you forge it yourself?” Marlon kept his eyes on the Galaxy Watermelon Knife in Leon’s hands, without forgetting to probe for information about its origin.
“I forged it myself in the Calico Desert,” Leon replied.
“Looks like you know quite a bit about hidden secrets. That’s surprising.”
After testing him, Marlon confirmed the weapon was indeed forged by Leon himself. Marlon hadn’t said where one could make a Galaxy Weapon, yet Leon had immediately given the correct location—the Calico Desert.
At the same time, Marlon quietly put away the old shortsword he had originally intended to gift Leon.
If Leon had been unarmed, that sword would’ve been a great early companion for exploring the mines. But the moment Leon pulled out a Galaxy Weapon, Marlon knew his own offering would’ve been downright embarrassing.
