“This is… your ability?” It took Wendy quite a long time to recover from the shock.

Annie answered, “she can’t hear you. After Broken Sword becomes a weapon, she’ll be completely cut off from the outside world. Only when you hold her can she regain her senses through you.”

“I didn’t know it worked this way,” Wendy thought. She held up the hilt gently after a moment of hesitation. In a second, she sensed another mind in her head. The blade acted with her as one as if it had become a part of her body. Meanwhile, Wendy also felt her sight and hearing improved a lot. She was full of energy and strength.

“Wow, this is…”

“Co-existence.” Broken Sword’s voice popped up in her head. “When you hold me, you’ll gain all the strength and senses I have.” There was a hint of regret in Broken Sword’s voice at this moment. “The sad thing is that I’ve been always weak since I was a kid, so what I can give you is very limited. Even if I’m fused with you, I can’t be of much help.”

Wendy now knew that it was Broken Sword’s ability that made her feel powerful.

Wendy held up the weapon and studied it carefully. The hilt felt warm and soft like a living thing. The shape of the blade appeared weird. It was at an arm’s length but was as slim as a finger. The front part was flat and the part close to the hilt round. It looked more like a magnified needle than a sword. If taking a closer look, she could see dense stripe patterns on the blade, as though the sword were tied up with numerous fine threads.

It reminded Wendy of Broken Sword’s distinctive silver hair.

“How long can you maintain the sword shape?”

“If I don’t constantly switch back and forth, I can be a sword as long as you like.”

It seemed that Broken Sword’s ability worked the same way as Maggie’s. Only the transformation would consume a large amount of magic power.

“Maggie? Are you talking about that giant pigeon?”

Wendy did not realize what had happened until a moment later. She was a little uneased to learn that Broken Sword could read her mind when they were combined together. There was always something she did not want anybody to know.

“You seemed to be a little perturbed… What’s this? A cloth strap?”

“Nothing.” Wendy put the blade back to the ground immediately and looked to Annie. “Ahem, can anyone merge with Broken Sword?”

Annie inclined her head. “Technically, yes, as long as she’s willing to accept that person, even if he’s just an ordinary man. However, in that case, Broken Sword will simply act as an extremely sharp and deadly weapon. Only witches could demonstrate her real power.”

“Witches?”

“Yes.” Annie seemed to perceive what Wendy was thinking and replied placidly, “By the way, the connection between you and Broken Sword doesn’t mean that she can read your mind. As long as you don’t concentrate on your thought, Broken Sword won’t know what you’re thinking.”

“I see.” Wendy managed to calm herself down and once again reached the hilt.

“Did I say something that upset you? I’m… sorry. I won’t recklessly ask you such questions again.” Broken’s Sword anxious voice came to her head at once.
