I Have a Dragon in My Body - Chapter 4

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After leaving the guild, Mark arrived at a blacksmith shop on the streets of the city.

In a corner, he found an old blacksmith shop.

There was only this stall outside the door, and some equipment was casually placed there.

Walking to the stall, Mark squatted down and opened the equipment that was casually piled there.

He found a very sharp dagger and some swords inside.

Ordinary people might think that these items were sold on the spot, but in fact, these weapons that were thrown here were all exquisite works of master craftsmen.

The owner was a middle-aged man with a naked upper body and a black apron.

Seeing Mark choose several weapons, his eyes could not help but light up as he praised in his heart, ‘This young man has sharp eyes. He has chosen the best of these weapons!’

Seeing that the other party had mostly made his choice, the half-naked middle-aged man asked, “Do you need any customization?”

“Although this is only a very dilapidated smithy on the corner of the street, we provide customization services!”

“Even if it’s a top-grade weapon, I can help you forge it!”

Hearing this, Mark looked up at the shop owner and replied with a smile, “Thank you! There’s no need for that for the time being, but if there’s a need, I’ll definitely give you priority!”

“All the weapons here are sharp. Even the worst one is not inferior to exquisite weapons from other places!”

Hearing this, the shop owner could not help but feel smug. He touched his curled beard.

“Kid, you have good taste. I’ll give you a 20% discount for these equipment today!”

Hearing this, Mark placed all the weapons he had chosen on the counter and turned to choose a few daggers.

The middle-aged shop owner had seen many adventurers. All of them chose two main weapons and brought a small shield.

The young man in front of him was covered in weapons, making him very confused. He could not help but ask, “Are you a Magic Warrior?”

Hearing this, Mark was stunned, but then he thought about it. This man had been in this line for countless years. Of course, he had seen all kinds of people.

He nodded and said, “I’m now a Master-level Magic Warrior. I received a mission to kill a Demonized Bear today, so I only chose one main weapon and many short swords to use as throwing knives.”

“Then why don’t you choose weapons like bows and arrows? Instead, you choose to throw weapons?”

Mark stabbed the short sword into the special blade holder on his body one by one and turned to explain, “I mainly use a single-handed sword and my secondary method is Magic Throw, so these high-quality short swords are all trump cards in my hands!”

Magic Throw would cause the weapon to enter a special state. The better the dagger, the more destructive it would be!

The only bad thing was that each short sword could only be used once. After using it, the short sword would directly turn to dust!

After hearing Mark’s words, the shop owner smiled. He had not expected this reason.

“Hahaha! You’re really an interesting person.”

“Go complete the mission. Come over in a few days. After listening to you, I have some new ideas.”

“Perhaps I can help you create some special throwing weapons!”

Hearing the shop owner’s words, Mark’s eyes could not help but light up. After all, it was best to reduce the cost of his equipment usage!

“I’m looking forward to it!”

“I’ll be gone for about a week. When I return and submit the mission, I’ll come and take a look!”

After placing the two gold coins on the table, Mark turned and left the forging shop.

The shop owner picked up the two gold coins on the table and threw them into the box beside him without even looking at them, as if he was not interested in money at all.

After leaving the smithy, Mark walked west along the main road and bought a quality backpack from the provision shop.

Then, he prepared some dry food and water before leaving the capital. He found a carriage to the Gwei Village at the entrance of the capital.

Due to the Demonized Bear incident recently, there was no one going in that direction recently.

The carriage driver looked at the young Mark and could not help but worry, “Are you really fine alone?”

Hearing this, Mark, who was lying in the carriage, pushed aside the straw hat on his head and replied, “No need to worry! Don’t think that I’m so young. I am a Master-level Magic Warrior!”

“The main purpose of this trip to the Gwei Village is to get rid of this Demonized Bear!”

Hearing this, the carriage driver was a little suspicious, but seeing the calm Mark, he did not say anything.

The carriage was very fast. At night, Mark had already reached the village.

After getting out of the car, Mark realized that the lights in the village were not lit. He asked the driver, “Is the situation already so serious?”

The driver nodded at Mark, “When we came a few days ago, there were still a few scattered lights in this village at night.”

“I didn’t expect this to happen in just a day!”

The carriage driver wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mark, “Don’t speak. Find a place to hide!”

At this moment, a huge black figure could be seen not far away from them, and its eyes were constantly emitting red light.

After confirming the target, Mark finally knew who the enemy was.

“Demon Eye Bear. Such a rare creature actually appeared here!”

After confirming that the driver had hidden himself, Mark picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the nearby shadow.

The rock happened to focus on the Demon Eye Bear’s head. It wanted to leave, but it turned around and rushed at Mark!

Seeing this scene, Mark was not anxious. He stood rooted to the ground.

When the target was only a few meters away, Mark’s body flashed and he somersaulted to the side.

The Demon Eye Bear accelerated too quickly and could not stop in time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mark directly took out a short sword from his waist and used magic to inject magic into it.

With a turn, he threw it at the back of the Demon Eye Bear’s head.

The short sword that shone in a black and white light cut through the air.

Right before it struck, sensing the danger, the Demon Eye Bear leaped into the air and dodged.

However, due to the inertia, it could not be completely dodged. The short sword stabbed into the joint of its front leg.

However, this was not the end. After the short sword entered its flesh, it exploded!

The power of the explosion was stronger than using ordinary magic items. The short sword was directly shattered by the magic power amplification.

The scattered fragments dealt considerable damage to the Demon Eye Bear.

However, it did not stop. Instead, it rolled down the slope along the way.
