Kreig did not like going to the smithy, mainly because its owner was of the unociable kind who rather get things done now rather than carrying on mindless chatter. It wa a small reason, since the majority of the time he dealt with the other blokes who worked there. As frequent as he visited the joint, it was almost always to repair his Gauntlets, the only thing left to remind him of his father, or at least the memory he grew up around. Today, it wasn't to fix his beloved gauntlets, but to actually purchase something.
"What? you? Buying a longsword?" saif one of the amused apprenties charged with manning the counter for today "A numbskull who like punching peoples' faces in and gets stabbed on numerable occasions? Thats a joke, especially from a petcher like you, Kreig" Chuckled the brat as Kreig's expense
"Oh be mature dear boy. Yes, as hard as it is to believe I , for reasons thrust upon be an insufferable oath, am required to learn how to use the sword and thus, buy said weaponry" He said as he give an annoyed look as the young man manning the counter 'Ugh, at least I''l learn boxing from said oaf, punching things always feels good' He thought, conveniently imagining punching the young man right now
"Alright Alright, stop giving me that look. Since this is a special occasion, allow me to impart a little bit of a suggestion, alongside your original order, a steel longsword and a couple of wooden ones. How 'bout you buy two more practice weapons 'cept bolted to a metal strap?" suggested the young 'clerk' as he tapped his fingers on the counter " Reason why is; A longsowrd is a lot 'evier than a wooden one, the ones with a metal strap are 'evier an' closer to the weight of a real one. So trainin' with 'em helps get a handle on using one"
"I see you are smarter than given credit for, dear boy" Kreig said, impressed by the young mans reasonable suggestion "I already know the cost of the iron sword and practice weapons, what of the two you suggested?"
"Since the original purchase amounts to Twenty-two Gold Mizas and 5 silver Miza's, with the addition of the Metal-cored ones it amounts to 37 Gold ones and 5 Silver ones" He said letting his hand out in order to take the money.
"Fair enough I suppose" He thought as he reached into his purse, pulling out the correct amount and placing it in the young mans hand 'this training better be worth the small trouble'
After counting the small, delectable, amount, the yooungman nodded " Alright, wait 'ere a few and I'll be out with the goods" He said, a few moments later Kreig left with the bundles of 'joy'
Waiting to be usedand fulfill their purpose.
