Buying a sword
In the end, Leon managed to reduce the number of disciples who wanted to invite him to their stalls to only five disciples.
These were the only disciples who claimed to have the sword that he was looking for.
He was looking for a sword with a white scabbard and golden hilt.
Leon had taken a few minutes to go from one stall to the other to check out their goods, the other disciples obviously followed him around even though he wasn't going to come to their stalls.
"Hmm, this one isn't long enough"
"The blade doesn't seem so sharp and it is single edged"
"The design isn't good enough, the carvings are too small"
….
One after another, Leon moved to the boots of the disciples and examined the swords. He managed to find faults in every sword that he had been given until he reached the boot of the fifth disciple.
Shing!!
