Chapter 573 - Obtain the Holy Sword 3 (1/2)

Luke, who obtained Holy Sword Valiant, summoned great blacksmiths to repair the broken sword.

In the Symphonia Kingdom, the blacksmiths who were called out were mostly dwarves.

One of the most prominent among them was Kurgon, the head of the Red Hammer Tribe.

When called by Luke, he looked at the half-broken sword.

“Is this the f*cking sword that Rakan wielded?”

Among his ancestors, there were thousands of dwarves who had turned victims for the sword, Valiant, when they stood against Rakan.

That was why Valiant was notorious among the fairies.

If it was the knights who admired Rakan, they would have been enraged at Kurgon’s words.

However, Kurgon calmed his mind as King Luke was the legacy of Saymon.

“Saw that? Can you repair it?”

“This one, it won’t attach itself to the other…”

Orichalcum was known to be the metal of God.

It was difficult to deal with, and not many people knew how to handle it.

In the case of Kurgon, he had learned all the secrets from his ancestors, and when he was in the Republic of Volga, he was commissioned to the Arch Duke to restore Oriharkon Fort.

Yet, he didn’t seem very confident in repairing the Holy Sword.

“What is the problem?”

“How should I explain it to you? Well, ah! It would be very similar to trying to save a dead body by attaching to it its severed head.”

‘Uhm… That bad?’

Luke wasn’t as proficient in metallurgy as Kurgon. However, he was someone who studied magic engineering that was why he could understand it.

As a result, he already assumed that restoring the Holy Sword to its original form was impossible.

However, he wanted to listen to the opinion of the blacksmiths.

“I don’t know if you realize it, whether its a Holy Sword or a Magic Sword, they weren’t just polished metal pieces. They are the souls and will of its creator and its wielder.”

“Restoring it to its original form is impossible.”

“Yes, in order to restore it properly, it will take more than just the skills of the creator. It is harder to fix it than make it.”

“Hm…”

Upon hearing it, Luke kept on thinking about what Rakan said.

‘You were a good one till the end. I would understand if you just hid yourself in regret, but why break the sword?’

Perhaps, Rakan didn’t want his sword to be exploited by others.

However, Luke couldn’t help but get angry. A precious Holy Sword was deemed useless.

“Well, can you fix it?”

“It won’t be that easy to restore it back and have it perform like it used to, but it can be attached. I will take it to my workplace and get it done.”

“Really? However, for now, let it be here.”

There was something that had to be done before getting that sword fixed.

Prominent scholars were needed including Marquis Albain and show them Rakan’s words.

He was planning to wash away the stigma of the past and improve the perception people had on dark magic so that Dark Moon would be able to come out of the darkness.

Of course, it wasn’t guaranteed.

Whether it was history or magic, it took time for new theories to be formed and be recognized.

“Well, tell me when it needs to be done. I will come running for you.”

Even the best blacksmiths in the Symphonia Kingdom wouldn’t have the chance to touch such jewels, that too a sword made by Zig, which was someone famous all over the continent.

That was why Kurgon didn’t want to miss the opportunity.

“If you give that to someone else, I will never forgive you! I, no, will retire from doing anything for you!”

“Huh. Don’t worry and head back already.”

Shortly after talking with Kurgon, Luke went back to his office and met with Prime Minister.

“Saw it?”

“Yes, not just me, everyone saw it.”

When Luke nodded, Hans returned the diary of Saymon back to Luke.

“Everyone must have been shocked.”

“Yes, especially Priest Maron…”

Maron was the most shocked.

If Saymon’s diary spoke the truth, then everything that the public knew that happened 500 years ago would turn into nothing but lies.
