Chapter 53: Tumultuous Events IX (2)


    Naturally, savage force was inevitably involved in this situation.


    In connection with that, numerous so-called Knights'' across the continent engaged in many of such sketchy matters as their primary business.


    The knights who held sway over the underground economy of the continent were identified by specific names, and one such group was named Sakiel.


    This name, derived from the angel who oversaw thend, was given ironically due to the knights'' dirty and hical line of work. Over time, the name Sakiel became synonymous with corruption, shaping the perception of those living on the continent.


    Presently, in Benessa, a considerable number of members dispatched by the Sakiel Knights found themselves entangled in aplex situation. Their primary objective was the auction of eastern trade goods.


    However, for Sakiel, this transcended a mere acquisition; there was talk of a valuable item among the goods.


    "I heard there''s something exceptional among the items this time."


    "The treasured sword of the King of Inkia, they say. Its value lies not just in its functionality, but in its name alone."


    "There''s a dagger crafted by the master of the Qin Empire as well. We must secure it before it falls into the wrong hands."


    These Sakiel members, adept at handling the continent''s illicit funds, alsopeted formercial rights.


    In some instances, the rivalry resulted in actual battles between knights, causing significant casualties. Even within the same Sakiel faction, rtionships could be as adversarial as those with externalpetitors.


    During such times, the trade goods auctions in Benessa often became lucrative events, jeopardizing the pride of Sakiel.


    Despite heightened emotions and asional skirmishes, merchants from the East frequently seeded in obtaining the desired goods due to their profitability.


    The primary interest of Sakiely in eastern weapons, epassing spears, swords, shields, and armor.


    Regardless of practicality, all Sakiel members shared a hobby of collecting such items, making them willing to pay a premium when dealing with Eastern merchants.


    This inclination also applied to the Uranus Merchant Company, who engaged in trade with the East.


    Under Bertina''s guidance, Bahamut examined the meticulously arranged weapons before him.


    "Are these all the weapons you brought to sell to Sakiel?"


    "Yes, that''s correct. From spears and swords to armor. Transporting these upied an entire ship''s space."


    Bahamut, not particrly interested in such paraphernalia, nced at the weapons with a critical eye. Despite his initial detachment, the various weapons on disy prompted him to reconsider his perspective.


    Among them, an unusually distinctive weapon caught his attention.


    "What''s this? It''s quite remarkable."


    At first nce, it resembled a greatsword, but its appearance deviated significantly from standard swords.


    Regrly spaced grooves adorned the de, with palm-sized green beads embedded near the handle. If Bahamut were to offer a crude analogy based on his knowledge, it resembled an erged cutter knife with a more refined design.


    As Bahamut contemted the weapon, he realized its significance.


    <em>I didn''t expect to see it here, but it seems fortuitous. A skilled swordsman needs a weapon that suits him.</em>


    Lost in thought about a specific individual, Bahamut observed the distinctive weapon, hinting at a deviation from the norm.


    Meanwhile, Bertina, unaware of Bahamut''s contemtion, began perusing the data.


    "Um, this sword I''m not familiar with it. It has a unique appearance, so I''ll have to check the list"


    Bahamut, diverting his gaze, remained silent, staring out the window.


    <em>Considering the original plot, it might be time for her to switch to a greatsword.</em><hr>
