Chapter 658 Seven Knives
Sitting on a plush cushi+on with a glass of fine wine in his hand, Noctis recounted the fates of the seven divine knives
"The Iron Knife was destroyed when Lady Aidre was murdered, and the Ember Knife was stolen and destroyed when the Shadow took his own life Of the re five knives, the Glass knife is the ed to the Shadow, and now, it is where the Shadow had hidden it"
He paused, and then continued:
"The Ruby Knife that one was entrusted to o, well, I was a bit concerned about my state of mind Hope's madness is very insidious, Sunless, and not even soht do, I gave it to… a dear friend, of sorts… for safekeeping Which means that you and I know the location of two knives already"
The sorcerer sipped his wine and frowned
"Then there is the Obsidian knife, which I won froame of wit The others weren't happy at all that I possessed two knives, so I, uh… placed it on the altar in ather enough of h escaped from Sunny's lips
"You did… what?"
What rong with that guy? It was a relic created by Sun God they were talking about, the key to an immortal's death! Why would he just put it where everyone could see it and even put a price tag on it? What uilty look
"Listen… those coins are very precious, I'll let you know! Who could have thought that soh to collect them all? But, uh… so man, in fact That daredevil took the knife and disappeared He was probably killed for it, but where and how, no one knows The Obsidian Knife was lost… but as I said, these knives never re it So…"
The sorcerer raised a hand and showed Sunny three elegant fingers
"That is three The next one is the most curious… the Ivory Knife It was entrusted to Sevras, the Sun Lord, who gave it to his twin brother, the Sun Prince And that is where things get strange The Sun Prince came to me one day with an unusual request You see, he had hidden the Ivory Knife, and wanted for me to erase the memories of where froet that request"
Sunny shuddered
'He… he destroyed those memories on purpose? Even before the terrible torture?'
Noctis sighed
"While my Aspect has to do with souls, I was very close to Aidre, the Priestess of Heart God, before she was killed by Solvane… that cursed e froh I still don't knohat his reed to help him, and removed the memory of the Ivory Knife's secret location from his mind However…"
The sorcerer smiled
"I did not just destroy it That would be too boring, don't you think? Instead, I kept the memory for myself and eventually retrieved the Ivory Knife"
Sunny shook his head
"So where is it? How did you e to lose that one, too?"
The ied
"Well… the One in the North was still angry with h, and that tiot the Ivory Knife, and then threw it into the Sky Below That was very silly of her It is impossible to really lose one of the knives forever, so it was bound to return one day And recently, it did… I don't knohere it is, but it is back, that is for sure"
Sunny looked at him for a while, a somber expression on his face
He was pretty certain that he kneho had the Ivory Knife… Mordret, the Prince of Nothing And if that fiend wielded it, even Gods would not be able to predict as going to happen
Noctis, however, didn't seem concerned He sipped his ith a smile:
"No h So, the only knife that remains is the Wooden Knife, which is in Solvane's possession This one is the sih not the easiest The ive it to anyone whoh to try and kill her So, we don't even need to search for it Sooner or later, it will fall into our hands all by itself"
Sunny remained silent for a bit, then said in a soht There are five knives… the Obsidian Knife is in my possession, and the Glass Knife is hidden in a place that is only known to me The Ruby Knife is hidden in a place only known to you The Wooden Knife will be given to us by Solvane if we defeat her… and the Ivory Knife is so pulled toward all this mess by fate"
The sorcerer nodded with a smile
"Indeed! So, you see… while I do not possess any of the knives yet, getting three out of the five would not be too difficult, and the fourth one will naturally appear on my path Four out of five… it doesn't look that crazy anymore, don't you think?"
Sunny hesitated
