Chapter 1351: Give Away, Not For Sale
Ye Luo glanced at the elder, feeling a sense of disdain for the elder’s overbearing arrogance.
"Weapons? Are they just mere tools? Humph, how ignorant. If you simply regard a weapon as a tool, then why would it willingly sacrifice itself for you? A weapon is your friend, your protector, not just a tool!"
For some reason, as Ye Luo spoke, he faintly felt the dagger in his hand tremble slightly. However, the sensation was so weak that he couldn’t be certain of it.
Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, the elder was taken aback.
It took a moment before he responded.
"Ah, you’re not wrong, lad. You see things more clearly than many others! In the Great Tang, we cultivate through technology; with powerful technological strength, weapons have become very common. If a weapon breaks, people just buy a new one. How many truly see their weapon as a comrade-in-arms? How many can understand that on the battlefield, the weapon in one’s hand is the one thing that will never betray them!"
"It’s a pity they don’t grasp this principle! Here, take it, this weapon is for you. What I can tell you is, it’s not just some scrap. But to activate it, with your current strength? You’re not yet qualified!"
The elder spoke calmly, but Ye Luo was slightly startled. Was the elder really giving him this weapon?
No matter what, even the materials to forge this weapon were worth something. Was the elder really giving it away so easily?
"I cannot accept a reward without having done any service. Name your price. I, Ye Luo, do not like being beholden to others!"
Ye Luo’s words shocked everyone in the room.
In fact, this elder was no ordinary person but a maverick elder from the Tianxing Sect, and the weapon in Ye Luo’s hands was forged by this very elder.
