The third floor was quickly reached, and as soon as they stepped onto this floor, their eyes were filled with the countless weapons and equipment displayed on the counters. Moreover, the weapons and equipment displayed here were definitely not the ordinary ones found anywhere. They were at least top-quality products, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of the reputation of the Rose Chamber of Commerce.

"Do you have War Blades in your shop?" Ophelia asked the waiter.

"Of course, this way please, guest!"

Although War Blades were relatively rare, as a well-known chamber of commerce in the mainland, they would have a reserve of all types of weapons, so they still had a few War Blades that could be taken out.

"These are all the War Blades in my little shop!"

The waiter pointed to the four War Blades on the shelf and started introducing them from the bottom up.

"This one is a refined-grade War Blade, forged with the magic metals 'Ice Iron' and 'Magic Steel'. When using magic in battle, it will release a cold attack upon hitting the enemy, slowing down their speed!"

This was a blue War Blade, but its effect was not as strong as the waiter claimed. The power of the cold was limited. The price of this War Blade was 1,200 gold coins, which frightened Bexia when she heard the price.

The quality of the three War Blades behind it got better one by one, and the prices became more and more frightening. The last one was no longer a refined-grade weapon, but a magical armor. It was a powerful weapon that could not be used without even a lower level of magic.

In the classification of weapons and equipment, the basic grade was the most ordinary one, which could be forged by ordinary blacksmiths. The refined grade was a top-quality weapon made from magic materials and could only be created by a master blacksmith.

As for magical armor, it was a higher existence than the refined grade. It had a magic array enchanted on top of the magic materials, possessing tremendous destructive power.

Seeing Bexia's clueless expression, Ophelia took on the role of a teacher to educate this curious little one.

Apart from introducing the weapons and equipment, Ophelia also told Bexia about the information on secret medicines. The so-called secret medicine should be called magic secret medicine, which was a type of medicine made by combining magic potions in a special way. Generally, it could be divided into three types: recovery, enhancement, and auxiliary secret medicines.

Recovery secret medicines could be divided into two types: injury recovery and magic restoration. One was for healing physical injuries, the other was for quickly replenishing expended magic, belonging to the consumables used in battles.

Enhancement secret medicines also had two types. One was an auxiliary type that could accelerate the cultivation of magic power, which was the mainstream of this type of medicine. The second type directly enhanced the level of magic power and belonged to extremely rare types. On one hand, it was because of the high production value, on the other hand, it was because of the scarcity of its production method. Even the production method of the former was extremely rare.

As for auxiliary secret medicines, there were many variations. Generally, they could be divided into four categories: auxiliary combat, temporary state enhancement, negating negative effects, and daily life.

Ophelia also mentioned some information about special occupations, which greatly increased Bexia's knowledge. However, there was just too much common sense content in this area, and Ophelia couldn't explain it all at once. In the end, Long Mumu came up with a good idea, which was to let Bexia go to the library in the academy to study on his own. Otherwise, if Ophelia had to teach him everything, it would be too much.

Bexia found Long Mumu's proposal quite appropriate. He only lacked some basic knowledge, but he already knew how to read. He also felt that he was causing trouble for Ophelia. It would be better if he could handle this himself.

"Then you should go study on your own!" Ophelia understood that the verbal information she provided was not comprehensive compared to the library. It would be beneficial for Bexia to study by himself.

"Betty, have you set your eyes on any of those War Blades? Don't save money for Ophelia, that little rich lady has plenty of funds!" Long Mumu steered the conversation back on track, but Bexia glanced at the four War Blades and shook his head.

"Forget it! None of these are suitable for me!"

"It's okay, sister, she's not as rich as she claims. But she can still afford a few thousand gold coins."

Although Ophelia was a princess, the amount of gold coins she used was not infinite. She could only dispose of 2,000 gold coins each month. However, she also had her own little treasury. It wasn't a large sum, but she could still handle one or two thousand gold coins."If you feel embarrassed, you can consider it as borrowing from Ophelia. We can repay her when we have money in the future!" Long Mo Mo thought Bexia refused because she didn't want Ophelia to spend money, especially since Ophelia had mentioned some of Bexia's situation before. She had some understanding of it as well.

But they misunderstood Bexia's intentions. While he had some awareness of it, the main reason was that these four battle knives were really not suitable for him.

In Bexia's impression, the blades he used were far from being as small as these. The front part was not in the shape of a short sword or dagger, but rather a real giant blade, occupying at least one-third of the total length.

"These are not the type I need. I vaguely remember that the battle knives I used were completely different from these."

"What kind of battle knives do you want then?" Ophelia asked curiously.

"My battle knives are probably like this!" Bexia simple drew a sketch with his finger pointing at the battle knives on the shelf. The huge blade surprised the two girls. Probably no one would use this type of battle knife!

However, as Bexia finished drawing, the waiter who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up.

"We seem to really have a battle knife that fits what this gentleman wants..."

"Oh!" Ophelia was surprised, she didn't expect that there really was a weapon with such a large blade. Is this type of weapon really effective?

"Then show it to us!"

"Well... Please wait, dear guests. That item is not for sale. I need to ask for permission from my superiors!"

"Alright! We'll wait."

The Rose Trading Company was very efficient. After the waiter came back, he politely invited the three of them to a small room. It was very spacious inside, with only one shelf covered in black cloth. After the waiter lifted the cloth, the wrapped item was revealed.

A battle knife with a dull golden surface, the bottom half formed a spiral shape, and at the tip, it formed a chain of diamonds. And upwards, it was all empty. There was some sort of blade there, but it looked like a peculiar-shaped "fire stick!"

"Is this the battle knife you were talking about?"

The two girls present thought they had been deceived, and the waiter immediately explained.

"Do not misunderstand, ladies. This battle knife is not as simple as you imagined. Have you ever heard of the ancient Elf Clan's magical light blade weapons?"
