Chapter 73 - Salesman

After walking around for a couple minutes, Julius found a group of people which were gathered around a strange man with a long hat which had an enthusiastic look on his face. Julius felt out of place due to him dressed in a commoner's cloths as compared to everyone else who wore rather expensive looking things. It wasn't that he couldn't afford them but more that he was wearing his training clothes. Nevertheless, Julius tried to watch from the back as the man in the hat continued his show.

"And next ladies and gentlemen, I have a rare item to present to you. Some of you might have not even seen this item in your whole lives even if you came to the star market every day of your life. Without further ado, I present to you all the flame blade!" said the man as he pulled out a small dagger from the box beside him which the object he pulled out had a stainless steel blade and a gold constructed hilt.

"This is a rare treasure which the famous magma golem hunter Zo has offered to sell out of her own generosity. Instead of keeping it, she allowed one lucky person to obtain it for the right price," said the man as he showed the blade around to the crowd which applauded him.

"And for the moment you've all been waiting for," said the man as he placed the dagger in front of his chest before saying a chant and pointing it in the air.

"Activate!" The man said as everyone watched as the blade part of the dagger turned into a small fire which expanded until it rose 5 metres towards the sky. However, right after that, the man made it change shape and the fire began to spin in circles while it showed off its capabilities. Once finishing showing off the dagger, the man made it change shape back into its blade born and began to wave it around in the eyes of the mesmerized people, including Julius.

"What are you doing here?" the salesman snared at Julius with a disgusted look which got everyone's attention on Julius.

"It's a commoner! Everyone, check your pockets to see if this trash has tried to rob any of us of our money!" The people began to panic as some of them began to gather around Julius as if they were going to attack him all at once.

"What are you talking about? I'm the prince of the greatest kingdom in the world!" Julius argued but due to the months he had spent training, his hair had grown longer, his height had increased, his voice had grown deeper and even looked older. As such he was completely unrecognizable.

"GET HIM!" one of them yelled out which caused all of them to jump at Julius who was panicking despite having enough strength to flatten the entire market like it was nothing.

…

"Do you people have a death wish!" a deep and dark voice said as he began to approach the people who had stopped before they had reached Julius.

<<Secret Art: Thousand Blades>>

A thousand blades appeared out of no where and surrounded all the people including the salesman who had started all of the trouble for Julius.

Seeing as there was a commotion, some tall and muscular people began to approach Jun who was the one who had created the thousand swords .

"Come on old man, you know better than to protect a peasant. He probably snuck in here to steal something," the body guards said as they lightly touched Jun by the shoulder which caused him to turn around.

…

"Great master Jun?!" they yelled as they jumped back. Hearing their words, all the people who tried to attack Julius began to tremble in fear.

"What is he doing here?"

"I thought he only stayed in his mountain."

"Why is he saving a peasant? Wasn't he the one who raised the kings as queens of the great kingdoms?"

"Do you idiots know what you just did?! You have offended Henry's son. If his father were to hear if this, this entire market would be burned to the ground and every single one of you would be executed!" Jun yelled at them.

"Wait so he really is the prince?" One of them asked as they looked at Julius who looked pretty annoyed in his own right. While everyone was scared of Jun or Julius' father, the real danger what right in front on their faces.

"We're so sorry master Julius, please forgive us for our insolence, we'll do anything for you," the people said as they bowed down to him.

"Anything?…" Julius asked as he got a sinister smile.

"Okay then mister salesman, how much is the blade going to cost?" Julius asked as he pointed to the special blade which he had in his hand.

"Well it's worth 10000 gold coins," the salesman man said the real prince of the item in a confused tone.

"Okay then, each of you, give me 1000 gold coins," Julius demanded as he pointed at 10 of the people who had tried to attack him. Even though the hated wasting that much money, they gave out the coins as they didn't want to get killed.

"Okay then mister salesman, hand over the dagger," said Julius which the salesman instantly gave Julius the dagger and began to reach down to pick up the pouches of golden coins.

"I didn't say that you could take that," Julius said as he looked at the salesman with a disgusted face to pay him back for the way he treated him.

"Step back everyone," said Julius as he got a gentle smile of his face. Julius then placed the dagger on his chest before saying the same chant that the salesman had said before lastly pointed the dagger at the pile of pouches filled with golden coins.

"Activate!"

The blade quickly extended and melted each of the golden coins into nothing as Julius made each of the arrogant people watch as he burned their money while continuing to smile.
