The merchant noted that they were of superb quality though told the knight he could not purchase all fifteen swords. That was no problem for Arc as he wanted to get rid of the weapons as soon as possible and offered to sell them at 150 sok to Lakhi. The price stunned as normally each blade would cost thirty sok each. The bargain gladden the merchant as the price for weapons had been going up due to monster attacks at the Kingdom's border.

While it was a generous offer, Lakhi requested four hundred for the mithril blade to be in good graces with the noble in control of the town.

When he showed his companions the money he acquired from the sale, the two noted that the merchant was one step closer to his dream.
