Chapter 19 (1/5)

-Good.- The older man leaned more heavily on his cane.- I also need to replenish my weapon supply,- he said, fixing his gaze on one of the display items again.

-Of course.- James folded the documents and bowed slightly.- Then please follow me, sir.- The elf led the guest to a part of the shop slightly separated from the rest. Behind the door to a smaller room were two rows of racks filled with various types of dwarven weapons. On the right were swords, cutlasses, broadswords, maces, morning stars and other types of short weapons. On the left were spears, pikes, bardiches, gleves, gizarms, halberds and other polearms.
