Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu was able to gather his wits eventually in the end, and wisely chose to ignore the phenomenon that had occurred; not questioning the old man or the woman. He understood that there were some secrets that need not be exposed.

If it was the Lin Mu of the past, he would have definitely questioned the old man; but now that he had experienced the wonders of the mysterious ring, he did not want to take any chance that may create needless conflict.

After the phenomenon disappeared the old man scrutinized Lin Mu, but did not find anything suspicious with him except for having an unfocused gaze. Determining that Lin Mu did not seem to have noticed the phenomena, Jing Wei dropped his guard.

"Come lift this sword, see how you feel." The old man said with an expectant gaze.

The woman standing behind Jing Wei was looking on with bated breath, ready to act in case anything unusual happened. But it was all for naught as Lin Mu casually lifted the short sword. Seeing that nothing happened, the woman let out a sigh of relief.

Holding the sword in his hand, Lin Mu felt as if it was the perfect sword for him. All the other swords he tried before were always lacking in some aspect, yet this sword felt perfect. Even a complete novice like Lin Mu could tell the sword was unusual; that an expert craftsman had created it.

The old man was closely observing Lin Mu's every action, and with his years of experience, he could tell that Lin Mu liked the sword.

"Now try swinging the sword and tell me how it feels." Said Jing Wei.

Lin Mu nodded to Jing Wei, as both the old man and the woman stepped back to give him some space. Lin Mu had never used a sword before, so the way he swung the sword was clumsy and full of flaws, yet it still incited a glimmer of approval in the eyes of Jing Wei.

Having tried the short sword a few times, Lin Mu liked it even more and had decided on buying it.

"I would like to buy this sword," Lin Mu affirmed.

"It will be fiftee…" Before the woman could complete her sentence, the old man interrupted her and spoke.

"The total cost is 30 silver coins." The old man had a teasing smile when he spoke.
