Because I’m a Weapon Shop Uncle - Volume 2 - Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Translated by lovelyxday

Crackle, crackle .

Just like the sound of leaking electricity, a giant screen projecting an unsteady, low resolution image .

A grey-color covered the field of view, the entire sky occupied by a sandstorm .

Just like a torrential rainstorm with black clouds filling the sky, the entire scene was unspeakably oppressive .

Just like the whole sky had been imprisoned .

A man stood at the center and walked forward, leaving long footprints behind him .

His name was Leon, and he was once a hero .

His dark brown hair was covered in dust . He seemed to be entirely buried in sand .

His lips were pressed tightly together, tortured to never speak a word .

––Finally, you have returned here .

The man raised his head to look at the sky,where the thick layer of clouds that would never disperse .

Layer by layer piled ontop of each other, until not a sliver of sunlight could slip by .

Thus, this place was like an unchecked wilderness .

How long he would walk, where he would go, no one knew .

Leon put on his cloak .

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared out of the sandstorm .

–––Meeting someone in this kind of place?

Incredulous, Leon stared ahead .

In the midst of the dust, the other’s figure became clearer bit by bit .

A man almost identical to him .

Although they were wearing different things, his hair was messier, and he did have the beginnings of a beard on his chin, if you looked carefully his face and figure were almost identical .

“You are––”

The other did not answer, just walked right up to him .

This time, Leon noticed it .

That man was walking with a young girl .

She was only about 130 cm tall, and she was no more than ten years old .

Long green hair trailed on the ground . From Leon’s angle, it was like a moving lawn .

Her eyes had no expression, empty and barren .

She was wearing a dirty and ragged cloth dress .

The two people were silent, moving through the space like they didn’t see him .

Leon reached out his right arm, but his hand grasped at nothing .

When they came abreast of each other, the man held out his fist to Leon, then slowly splayed his fingers .

In his palm was a ghostly green fire, leaping about .

The tiny flame felt warm for some reason .

Leon accepted the weak flame .

Suddenly an indescribable warmth flowed through him .

It was like the hole in his heart was suddenly filled .

“Ailee…”

The sandstorm stopped .

Leon clutched the firelight in his hand close to his chest .

“Zhai He, did you do this?”

Leon knelt on the ground, and bent his head as if repenting .

“No, it wasn’t me . ”

The man called Zhai He continued forward .

“It was the miracle you brought about, a little miracle . ”

“But I––”

The unnamed girl turned to look at Leon .

Face full of tears, Leon continued talking at the two people’s backs .

“But I already died…”

“Don’t say that, Leon . ”

Zhai He said without turning back .

“Move forward . We are people that have died once . ”

The girl stopped for a moment, then turned to go catch up with Zhai He .

A golden ray of sunlight made its way past the clouds, covering Leon’s body .

At the moment, the devil girl in front of me was wearing an incredulous expression .

Because I didn’t understand devils, so I didn’t know why I was surprised .

But I chose to jump back a step instead until I knew what she was surprised about .

I looked at the sword in my hand .

This work…it’s mine?

Why is it so shoddy?

This toy was condensed directly out of magic?

I suddenly condensed this sword without thinking just now . Right now, what to do . Simple magic power won’t just disappear randomly, right? I won’t have to go to battle empty-handed?

“You aren’t Leon…… Who are you? Where is Leon?”

I stuck the sword into the ground . As expected, the black sword immediately disappeared .

In this world, pure magic power could not exist in the world for very long . It needed an underlying support .

So you should only use magic power as a temporary measure when you don’t have a weapon .

I used my index finger and thumb to stroke my chin, thinking over how to resolve the present situation .

That is to say, in order to prevent it from disappearing, I had to continuously supply magic power to it .

Then the magic power in my body would lessen .

Weapons are an existence made for helping people . So this kind of worn out joke is truly a humiliation in the world of weapons .

I looked to where the devil girl was, but i couldn’t find her figure .

Then I felt a sickle aiming for my neck .

Because I knew it was no use in dodging, I calmly stood where it was .

But my mind was thinking “Ah, if she really did kill me what would I do” and things like that .

Quickly stop, stop!

The stickle stopped very close to my neck, and the surroundings exploded with wind .

I let out a sigh of relief . Fortunately I wasn’t discovered .

As I thought, it’s difficult to not move at all, like a manhua protagonist .

Even if I knew that I would be safe from the imminent peril, when danger was coming it is hard to keep your cool .

I used two fingers to grip the blade of the sickle .

Ugh, this sickle is terrible quality .

How’s this, devil girl .

Do you want to buy a sickle from my shop?

I can definitely guarantee the quality .

But because you made my shop assistant cry, hurt Kaluona like that, I will take an additional fee .
