“David, I thought you’d throw up when you saw the scene. I didn’t expect you to be so strong!” Galen turned to David and said with a smile.

“Uncle Galen, I’ve been exposed to worse scenarios!” David said while recalling the hundred mutilated corpses that he had seen on the second day of his arrival into this world. Since being exposed to that tragedy, it was difficult for him to be intimidated by corpses.

“Pick out one of these battle spoils!” Galen said, trying to change the topic from David’s recent encounter. 

“Is that really okay?” David asked in disbelief, his heart filled with joy.

The battle spoils were all true armorer equipment, each incomparably precious. 

“You can forget about the exoskeleton armors of the armorers. All the exoskeleton armors here have been damaged. Besides, when you become a full-fledged armorer, you will have your own exoskeleton armor. The exoskeleton armors provided by Nan University are much better than these!” Galen reminded him with a smile when he saw David’s gaze drifting towards the Black Diamond Exoskeleton Armor. 

David smiled somewhat apologetically as he looked at the twin swords on the floor, which had originally belonged to Captain Feroman.

Of all the spoils there, those longswords were the only ones that had a distinctive color, which was the same as the warhammers held by the Luminous Armorers. Hence, they would definitely be good. 

“David, you’ve got good taste. All of these spoils combined are not worth as much as these two longswords. However, I’ve already promised to let you have one!” Galen said jokingly while shaking his head and picking up the Level 2 longswords from the ground. 

He handed the Level 2 longsword to David, who hesitated for a second before grabbing it. 

In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that David had already shown himself to be an unimaginable talent, Galen wouldn’t have agreed to give such a precious piece of equipment to him. 

Putting aside the fact that those two battle spoils were Level 2 weapons, even if an ordinary armorer used a longsword, he would be a danger to himself and his companions, just like what Galen had taught him.

However, Galen knew that with David’s Warhammer Mastery, he would definitely have strong combat power once he became an official armorer. 

Learning how to use the longsword did not require too much energy from David. Mastering one more weapon would be beneficial to David’s growth.

Galen had seen armored warriors who lost most of their combat power on the battlefield because their weapons had been damaged. It was not easy to find just a weapon suited to you on the battlefield. Mastering an additional weapon would mean you had another opportunity for survival. 

“David, I’ll help you look into the problems in the security system of your residence!” Galen said when he thought of David’s safety and the program in the security system.

David nodded. He really wanted to tell Galen about the information that he had discovered, but it involved his stepmother Bersha’s father, Mr. Strat. Even though Galen was a close friend of his father, David did not want to get Galen involved.

However, with Galen’s power, it would be easy for him to investigate Leeson Security. David, on the other hand, had to be careful even when going out. 

Although he did not know how authoritative Galen really was, the attitudes of the five Luminous Armorers and Mayor Bernard showed that Galen held an extremely high status. 

Since Maron had called him a big shot, Galen’s status was definitely far above the mayor. 

“This sword scabbard is for you!” Galen informed David as he handed him another scabbard that he had grabbed from the Black Diamond Exoskeleton Armor behind Captain Feroman’s corpse.

“Thank you, Uncle Galen!” David said, grabbing the scabbard and sticking the Level 2 longsword into it.

The exterior of the scabbard was made from the skin of an unknown creature, while the interior was made of an unknown material.

“Remember, the longsword is only a supportive weapon during battle. I don’t want the longsword to affect your mastery of the warhammer,” Galen reminded him.

At this moment, four cargo aircrafts flew closer, while five defensive drones appeared in the sky.

Eight armorers jumped off the cargo aircraft, clad in various types of exoskeleton armors. 

“David, a good exoskeleton armor represents one’s strength and guarantees one’s safety, so you have to be careful when you choose your exoskeleton armor in the future. Be clear about your characteristics, and choose the exoskeleton armor that best suits you,” Galen whispered to David.

David knew that Galen was using the presence of the eight armorers’ exoskeleton armors to remind him of important information. He nodded to show that he understood.

“With your situation, there shouldn’t be a problem with you entering Nan University. There are a lot of exoskeleton armors available there. If you need any help, feel free to contact me!” Galen continued.

He was no longer just helping his best friend’s son. David had now turned into an investment.

David shifted his gaze to Galen’s right arm, the armor that had been exposed during the battle having already disappeared, as if it had never appeared. 

Although he was incredibly curious, he knew there was no use in asking questions if Galen did not want to reveal anything.

Around them, the eight local armorers began to take over while more police arrived. The scene suddenly became a lot livelier. 

“Let’s go,” Galen told David. He did not like such a scene.

David also wanted to hurry home and see what the Shadow Servant had gotten out of this battle. Nodding, he followed Galen back.

As witnesses who had been involved in that battle, the police should have taken statements from them. However, none of the police officers who arrived at the scene stopped them.

Officer Bob stood among the police officers with glistening eyes. He knew who David was, but he did not expect there to be such a huge ruckus because of him.

Besides, the scene of five Luminous Armorers guarding David’s residence was beyond his imagination. He thought that if he continued to treat David nicely, it would be beneficial to him in the future.

“David, how’s the situation out there?” Maron asked David, scurrying towards him as soon as they returned to the underground gym. 

He was not worried at all. With Galen around, there would be no problem, regardless of how troublesome the issue actually was.

However, the fact that Galen had to handle it personally meant that it was definitely not a small matter. During the short period of time that he had spent in the underground gym, he had been overflowing with curiosity.

“The four mercenaries who tried to attack me previously showed up again. Uncle Galen dealt with them,” David answered shortly.

“So they were the four mercenaries and Uncle Galen fought against the armorers. Why did I miss that?!” Maron muttered in frustration as he patted his thigh. 

It seemed that Galen was in a good mood due to having just killed three armorers. At the moment, he ignored Maron’s words and was instead contacting someone through his identity bracelet.

“David, what’s this?” asked the sharp-eyed Maron, who had seen the scabbard in David’s hand and reached for it. However, David shifted away from him.

“This is the battle spoil that Uncle Galen gave me,” David said, holding onto the scabbard.

“Let me take a look. I’ll give you both the warhammers I brought. On account of our friendship, just let me have a look!” Maron begged, his curiosity rising once again.

David glanced at the two warhammers that had been thrown onto the ground. They were not even Level 1 warhammers, simply warhammers used for practicing, which were mixed with plenty of Level 1 bug shells. They were completely useless during a real battle.

However, after seeing how Maron was behaving, David handed the scabbard to him. 

Maron grabbed the scabbard with one hand and pulled out the sword with the other. As soon as he did, he discovered that it was a double sword. However, the shape of the hilts was rather odd, as they could be put together to form a hilt. 

“Be careful, don’t hurt yourself!” David warned.

Maron did not pull out the entire longsword. When he saw the glowing blue light, he frantically stopped what he was doing. 

“This…this is…is a pair of…a pair of Level 2 longswords!” he stuttered. 

His tone was full of incredulity. Having lived with such a family background, he knew what Level 2 weapons represented.

There were very few Level 2 weapons in all of Pelan City, all of which were owned by powerful armorers with the backing of powerful consortiums.

Yet Galen had casually given David two Level 2 longswords. How could he not be astonished by Galen’s generosity!?! 

Maron placed the longsword in front of him and carefully examined it. It was his first time scrutinizing a Level 2 weapon. The luminous blue glow mesmerized him. 

He had learned to use the longsword before and felt the urge to ask David for one. However, he was well aware of the value of Level 2 weapons. No matter how close they may be, David definitely wouldn’t give away the weapons that Galen had just given him.
