"Welco to the Seven Sparks Forge." Lucas glanced at the guests who had just arrived.
Indeed, they were guests and not custors. The group that had just arrived consisted of Lucy and a few executives from Novanio Tech. The executives weren't from the sa factions, but similar in nature.
With Novanio Tech planning to enter the weapons vestige space, there were three factions at the helm. The first aid for reputed and established vestige-smiths, while the other two aid for upcoming vestige-smiths to partner with. Lucy's faction was one of the latter two and had gone further than their counterpart when looking for vestige-smiths, and that was how she t Lucas.
Two of the five who had walked in with Lucy were part of the third faction.
As for the first faction, they had no one in attendance here, as their ideals greatly differed from the others.
"It's nice eting you again, Mr. Saunters." Lucy smiled as she greeted.
Previously, the two had reached so conclusions on their cooperation and signed an MOU (morandum Of Understanding) to that event. They had also scheduled a eting where Lucy would co along with so other executives of Novanio Tech to inspect the vestiges Lucas would sell to them. The decided date was exactly today.
"Hmm."
Lucas nodded his head, not bothering with the formalities. To him, those were all just excess words and not necessary at the mont. However, so frowned at his behaviour.
It should be noted that although the discrimination against humans wasn't to the point of burning them alive in the middle of the street, the hate still existed. On one hand, it was because of the fact that many hyumans thought of humans as lesser versions.
On the other hand, it was a sense of fear and hatred brought about by the actions of terrorist organisations, so of which consisted of humans among other species.
Lucas glanced at the five executives and took notes of their expressions.
Of the five executives that showed up with Lucy, two of them gave him a weird look, which made Lucas believe that they had disgust for humans. As for the other three, they were sowhat neutral with their expressions, which was a good sign.
"Let's take a look at the vestige."
Lucas said as he directed the group towards the simulation room. He wasn't one for unnecessary chats and usually got straight to the point especially on formal occasions.
The seven of them arrived in the pristine white room devoid of any furniture or design. The size of the room which nearly rivalled that of the store shocked them as they guessed it was a spatial feature. Although such a technology was really rare and expensive, it did exist. It was a unique and bizarre technology that could widen the space within a room.
However, only certain top factions into the city with connections to the Bernin continent might have sothing like this, but even theirs probably couldn't compare to the Seven Sparks Forge's. This made them begin to question who exactly was the store's backer, but that thought would be left for another day.
Looking around, they finally managed to spot so items in the white room; there was a table at the centre with two vestiges displayed on it.
One of them was the spear Lucas had been working on the previous day, and another was a dagger. The form and structure of the dagger appeared to be a lot like the one he had made during his exceptional basis exam in the EVL branch at the Central Prefecture district.
The seven individuals walked towards the table and stopped at it. The five n who ca alongside Lucy glanced at the vestiges with not much of an expression on their face.
Although the vestiges appeared to be well made, what mattered most wasn't appearance but functionality.
"These are the vestiges my master prepared for our deal."
Lucas introduced the items.
The vestiges didn't have any nas so he randomly went with 'Blue spear' for the spear, and 'Dark dagger' for the black dagger. Such a lackadaisical na naturally attracted a mix of contempt and surprise from the group, but Lucas didn't care. What mattered most was a vestige's ability and not its na. If it was good, then even with such a silly na, it would sell.
If it wasn't, then even calling it the Namsung Galaxy X24 blade wouldn't save it.
"Any special effects? Sothing unique or worth taking note of?" One of the n who had a pair of glasses asked.
Of the five n, two were vestige-smiths, albeit not of the weapons branch. They ca with the others to inspect the items as even though they weren't experts in the area of weapons, being vestige-smiths, they could still identify a thing or two about the vestiges.
The man in glasses could see that the spear was not only larger, but also heavier than typical spears which made him begin to doubt Lucas' skill. However, he held back any harsh words and decided to put forth the question.
"Naturally there is one." Lucas said as he lifted up the spear before aiming it ahead of him.
The simulation room generated a strange particle wave that gathered in front to make a humanoid target about one hundred tres away. The group watched this, amazed and were astonished, but they held back their shock, waiting to see what Lucas wanted to show them.
Suddenly, the spear's tip split into four, creating a fixed centitres (~2 inches) gap as a barrel was revealed behind the gap. The barrel abruptly lit up with a purple light as a beam shot out from the spear and struck the target.
*Boom*
A 0.1m hole (six inches) ford on the target, letting out smoke as the spectators took in the sight.
Lucy was horrified while the rest felt their blood run cold. A spear ard with long range capabilities was sothing they didn't expect to see. Although there were so vestiges like this on the market, the destructive power and range of the spear was astonishing and greater than those ones. This could revolutionalise the vestige-smith market and freelancer warfare as they all knew.
However, before they could remain shocked for long, Lucas' voice sounded in their ears.
"That's one."
