Chapter 73 - Chapter 11: Sword Duke #4
”It is obvious, but they are a blacksmith. 9th Prince, how much do you know about Amita?”
The sword duke asked, stroking his beard. Fortunately, the question seemed to source from pure curiosity, rather than any doubts. It made sense to In-gong.
He had said Amita’s first and last name. He had been so excited that he made a small mistake.
Instead of revealing his agitation, In-gong’s face showed only excitement.
”I heard a story related to them when I was a child. The legend of the blacksmith who handles the last spark of fire. I didn’t think they were a person who actually existed.”
Amita was sometimes a man and sometimes a woman. Due to the freely changing gender and age, there was a story that Amita was a clan or group who shared a name, not an individual.
In-gong also didn’t know the identity of Amita. There had been a theory among Knight Saga fanatics that Amita was a polymorph dragon, but that was just a guess.
'Maybe they are like Green Wind.’
Anyway, it was clear that Amita was the best blacksmith in the Demon World that dealt with the last flame.
The last flame meant the first fire that had appeared when the world was created. Despite being the first flame, it was called the last flame due to a prophecy.
The world would be destroyed when the last flame went out.
The first and last flame...
An existence that started and ended with the world.
The last flame was a myth. Therefore, all weapons made with the last flame retained its own divinity despite not being blessed with the sacred symbol of a god.
Meeting Amita in Knight Saga literally depended on luck. The place and time where Amita emerged was completely random.
Despite clearing Knight Saga 10 times, In-gong had only managed to meet Amita three times.
Amita was a person who was difficult to meet.
The meeting itself was good since they were called the Demon World’s best blacksmith.
In-gong didn’t explain all of this. After briefly mentioning the last flame, he finished by saying that Amita was a legendary blacksmith who could handle the last flame.
'This is information from Knight Saga’s manual.'
The sword duke nodded slowly at In-gong’s words.
”Prince is correct. Amita is the blacksmith who deals with the last flame. They aren’t a legend or superstition but a real person.”
The sword duke looked at Felicia and explained the last flame in more detail. In-gong already knew all of this.
The explanation was of great interest to Felicia since she was a capable ruins explorer. However, it wasn’t the last flame or Amita that she was interested in.
“Shutra, where did you hear this story? Isn’t the library still not available to you?”
Even Felicia was hearing about the story of the last flame for the first time. So, where had In-gong heard about the legend?
In-gong had also known about the Thunder Light Anvil, so he must have a lot of archaeology knowledge.
In-gong laughed awkwardly and said,
”Uh... It is just a story I heard as a child.”
His voice was awkward because it was an improvised excuse, but Felicia accepted it.
”Ah, 5th Queen... Sorry, Shutra.”
Felicia’s brow furrowed as she made a really sorry expression.
The 5th Queen Semita Ignus...
The only one among the demon king’s queens who had died and who was Shutra’s mother.
In-gong quickly scratched his head.
“No, it is okay. It is all in the past.”
Felicia’s misunderstanding made it easy to pass over the issue, but he still didn’t feel comfortable.
Carack saw In-gong’s expression and returned to the topic.
”Umm, so the person called Amita is the best blacksmith in the Demon World and is Sword Duke’s friend.”
”It is really great.”
Karma, who had been keeping her mouth shut, cried out in a lively voice. It was a type of courage to try and change the atmosphere.
Thanks to his two faithful subordinates, In-gong could laugh and agree with Karma’s words.
The legendary swordsman was friends with the best blacksmith of the Demon World. Indeed, legends played with other legends.
The sword duke patted Karma’s head and lifted the sword hanging from his waist.
”That person is the one who made this sword. They also made the demon king’s sword.”
The outward appearance of the sword duke’s sword was very plain. There were no patterns or decorations on the sheath and only a red cord was wrapped around the handle of the sword.
However, no one here could think of the sword duke’s sword as ordinary. It had been made by the best blacksmith in the Demon World.
Moreover, the sword duke said that the demon king’s sword had also been made by the same person.
The demon king’s sword. Despite all the weapons that could be obtained travelling around the Demon World, it was the best sword with the highest damage.
Additionally, In-gong knew of one more of Amita’s works.
The strongest weapon in Knight Saga, even surpassing the demon king’s sword...
The Warrior’s Sword.
It was one of the elder dragons, Guardian Queian, who had prepared the materials for the sword and imbued it with all types of powerful magic, but Amita had been the one who made the sword.
In-gong’s chest started throbbing. So, the meeting with Amita was very anticipated.
Felicia, Carack and Karma also contained their excitement as they swallowed their saliva. They were confident of Amita’s abilities after hearing that they had made the demon king’s sword.
”They like to be cooped up in isolation. They also don’t like meeting people, but if you give my name, Amita will meet you once. Whether or not they will take the job depends on Prince’s and Princess’ capabilities.”
The sword duke grinned and stepped back. It meant that he wouldn’t really meddle in this matter.
They could travel to meet the best blacksmith in the Demon World only to be turned away.
However, Felicia just smiled peacefully.
”Well, Shutra will manage to pull it off somehow. I’ll just sneak in with him.”
”Right, if it is Prince, then he can somehow do it.”
‘I think so as well, Master.’
”I believe in His Highness.”
Carack, Green Wind and Karma agreed in turn.
There was no basis for this belief, but the faces of the four people were filed with faith. In fact, In-gong wasn’t much different from the four.
‘It will work out somehow.’
Because he was the protagonist.
He joked inwardly. Looking back on what had happened so far, there had been many unexpected incidents. He wasn’t thinking of just leaving after meeting Amita.
There was no need to panic so early.
‘If it was impossible from the beginning, the sword duke wouldn’t have mentioned it.'
