Way of the Knights

---

"Hey bro! Where are we going?" Paul wore an excited smirk as he asked about their plans for today.

It's been two days since the last visit of Luna and Old Lee. Though he didn't show anything on the surface, Raven was actually looking forward to Luna visiting them in hopes of training with her. Sadly, she didn't show up. He then decided to bring his brothers somewhere and have a change of pace.

"To the market, you guys have using nothing but wood as weapons so far, it's about time to introduce you to some steel." Raven plainly said.

Paul and Mark were visibly excited. How could they not be? During this past weeks that they have been training, they already lost count on how many wooden weapons that they broke and shattered, this really made them feel upset and fed up, but now that's about to change.

Raven called for a carriage, the triplets stepped inside and had a little conversation before arriving to the market. Once the carriage stopped, they went outside and got a little bit drowned by the sheer activity and noises of the place.

The Outer Ring of the kingdom is the most populated place in it, most of the people who lived here are commoners and some few nobles who liked the bustle of the place. The triplets saw just how many people are walking from one place to another just to get by their everyday lives. Some were lifting bags of rice, some were dragging their carts full of assorted wares, some were shouting in hopes of attracting customers and some were even taking their livestock towards the trade.

It took them sometime before they finally recovered from this shock. Raven walked forward while being followed by the two. It was his who knew this place like the back of his hand. Having lived two lifetimes, he had been here multiple times and knew just where the good stuff were.

They arrived on a forked road, Raven walked towards the left and they arrived at simple building that is located at a rather, discreet location.

It was a five storey building, it was painted with a black metallic sheen that shone under the bright sun. There were a two way glass doors and a sign saying: Jonathan's Steel Crafts. Raven smiled and pushed the doors open.

As the triplets went in, they immediately sense the temperature change. It was warmer in this place, the kind of heat that you could feel but won't make you sweat, and it feels like it seeps down to your soul.

Inside the shop, the triplets were greeted by shining steel weapons and armors that are on display. Some were hanging by the wall while others are stored behind glass casings with lights highlighting them. Paul and Mark didn't wait for Raven and immediately went towards the shining displays, to this Raven could only laugh.

As the triplets dispersed inside the store, Raven walked forward to the one's behind glass casings. The one that he was looking currently is a two handed axe called: 'Terror Silver Axe'.

Without anyone noticing, his eyes flashed and a golden circle appeared. His vision penetrated the glass casings and zoomed towards the finer details of the axe.

'This axe should be made out of Deep Sea Sunken Silver, one that is quite old too. It looks like it was quenched using an oil from a Whale King. 379 Gold Cards for this one isn't a bad price.' Raven judged in his mind. He withdrew his gaze from the axe and walked towards another weapon.

'Mountain Shifting Spear. Should be made out of Geocentric Metals. The spearhead looked like it was soaked in the blood of a Demonic Mountain Lion, with a strength equivalent to Soldier Realm expert, for 15 days, resulting in a reddish hue and a tinge of bloody aura. 439 Gold Cards, not a bad deal. I'll recommend this to Paul of he can't find anything that suits him.'

'Oh? This one's rare. This should be made out of the fangs of some Three-eyed Serpents. Once the dagger was made, it was also soaked in the posion of the same serpent for 30 days, I wonder how many they have to kill before gathering enough materials? Poisonous Serpent Dagger huh? Only 350 Gold Cards? Is it discounted?'

Raven searched for a while and saw nothing that said it was, he then told himself that he will really consider buying this after getting what he wanted first. He was abruptly disturbed whe he heard rushing footsteps behind him. He looked over and saw Mark and Paul acting a bit frantic and confused.

"Bro! What should we get? There a lot of good stuff in here that I'm having a hard time choosing! If it weren't for my old man freezing my allowance I will totally buy all of them." Paul said like a whining baby.

"Same deal with me. The stuff that my mom sent to me aren't even as good as these one's." Mark said feeling helpless as well.

Raven let out a giggle and said: "Alright I'll help you guys choose. Let's go with Paul's choices first."

The two were lead by Paul as he pointed the things that he really liked. In total, he pointed out 7 different spears and 5 shields as his choices, Raven was a bit dumbfounded when he heard this. He only had enough time to inspect three things but this guy went over to 12 items in total. Raven inspected the items one by one and gave his opinion.

"Purple Aegis Shield and Black Iron Spear are good choices for you." As he heard Raven said this, Paul didn't even ask anything and just straight bought the things. Raven and Mark were a bit dumbfounded and could only laugh it off.

Raven then looked at Mark, the latter nodded and pointed out the things that he wanted to buy, his choices however, shocked Raven a bit.

"All of your choices are short swords."

"I know, I've been using wooden broad swords for quite sometime, it was fine but I always feel a slight discomfort when using them. It was only now that I figured out that it should be their length that makes it awkward for me. So I ended up looking for short swords, but there's a lot of good things here." Mark could only sigh in helplessness as explained himself.

Raven's quite surprised by this. When he decided to train his brothers, he did it on the basis of his previous life, back then Paul used a spear and shield while Mark always used a broad sword, this made him think that this should be the weapons that they need to focus on but it seems that he miscalculated this time.

'Perhaps I should've asked them for their opinions on their weapons. Oh well, Paul doesn't seem to mind so only Mark will adjust. Shouldn't be that hard for him.'

In total, Mark had pointed out 7 short swords. They are all made out of decent materials and their prices are reasonable too. Raven thought very hard and after a while, his eyes gleamed and said:

"Say, what are your thoughts about dual wielding?" He asked with a smile in his face, Mark's eyes widened as he felt like a lightning struck his head. How could he forget about that?

Mark had always dreamed about dual wielding ever since he was a kid. He used to climb on top of a tree and snap two branches, treating them like two swords as he whacked them in the air. Somewhere along the line, he totally forget about all this which made him pissed now that he thought about it. It seems like his brother really knows him best.

"I'll do it! You'll help me right?" Mark said and asked at the same time. Raven patted his shoulders and pointed at the ones he should get.

"Rumbling Cloud Sword and Red Lightning Sword are the ones you should get." Mark nodded at his words and proceed to order the swords.

Meanwhile, Raven still haven't picked for himself. He was actually experiencing a dilemma. During his past life, he used a sword and a shield. Though he wasn't talented at using them, he still had the memories of him using it, which is why he could effectively give an advice to his brothers. But now, his situation was quite different.

He knew that he should switch up his choices. After knowing that his Spirit Entity is the Myriad Limb, he had this vision that he could totally rely on his limbs to destroy his opponents. This was also why he chose the [Prime Emperor's Scripture] his cultivation technique due to it's Demon Chapter and how it focused on his body.

The only downfall is that no Knight had ever went into a combat unarmed. Meaning that fist weapons and leg weapons are super rare in this kingdom. He had already roamed his gaze all over the store but he only found two fist type weapons and they were trash tiered.

'What should I do then?'
