Episode 30.18 (2/2)
”Yea.”
Lecan replied half-heartedly while he was deep in thought.
”The problem is <Sword of Agost>. I have no clue who and where this swordsmith Agost is, but it must have taken them time and money to create such a sword. Yet its ndurance> remains at 99, this indicates that this sword hasn't fulfilled its original purpose yet.”
”Yea.”
”The only opponent I could think of that would require this much Hardness and size would be dragons.”
”What?”
A sword forged for the sake of fighting dragons.
Is <Sword of Agost> truly made for that.
”Oh yeah, this Agost guy is apparently a son of Rusk.”
”Hou. I do recall hearing about Rusk having a son who died young. I see, it is no wonder both these swords share similar smell.”
”Smell?”
”Those who don't know don't know. Those who know need not explanations.”
”Fumu. Now that you mention it, these two swords do have some similar qualities to them.”
”Hou.”
Something hit on Lecan then.
”Hold it. How'd you know <Sword of Agost> hasn't fulfilled its original purpose. Its Endurance wouldn't fall if it's only used in a ritual.”
”Did you even listen to a word I said huuh? How in the world would ndurance> stay at that value when it's been used. You dang fool. If <Wear Rate> stays yet ndurance> falls down, it means that particular sword has cut objects not of this world. Using the analogy earlier, it has cut the invisible foundation part.”
”Invisible objects?”
”The sword used in the ritual I mentioned earlier had its ndurance> reduced by 10.”
”I see.”
While replying the old man, a terrifying thought hit on Lecan.
(Perhaps.)
(<Self Restoration> enchanted in my previous world.)
(Can also restore ndurance>.)
That'd make it even more of an aberrant in this world.
”I've been blessed a meeting with an outstanding appraiser. You have my thanks.”
Lecan stood up.
He wanted to get away from this elderly appraiser as soon as possible.
”If you ever find yourself at Nadis Barondom, go ask around for Rusk Household at Town of Liplin. There may be something you can obtain there.”
”Hou. Town of Liplin huh. Noted.”
