Episode 42.12 (2/2)
”Lecan, thank you. I can never express how grateful I am for your victory.”
”Ah, well good thing I won eh. Guess I made you worry.”
”I thought my heart stopped for a moment there.”
”That made me jump too, Lecan. But I believed you would win in the end.”
Eda's smile put him at ease.
”Oh and as for the duel challenge, he did ask in the presence of four marquis houses and a messenger of the Prime Minister Office. You turning it down here would be akin to smearing dirt on his face.”
”I see, guess I just gotta beat this guy up then.”
”But still, Lecan. I had no idea you had a <God Cure> on you.”
”That was something Manfrey gave me before I departed here.”
”Manfrey-sama did?”
”Yea. That is one sensible man.”
After saying that, Lecan turned around and walked off.
”I accept this challenge.”
”Very well. Haydent.”
”Sir. Solusiga Indole-dono. With Lecan-dono's consent, we shall now hold your duel with him.”
”Ah, wait a minute.”
”What seems to be the matter, Lecan-dono.”
”Haven't got my loot yet.”
Lecan jerked his chin at Viska.
Viska has gotten back on his feet, but he's just staring blankly, seemingly hasn't caught up with the ongoing situation.
Lecan picked up <Sword of Rusk> and put it in <Storage>. Then the xplosion Sword>. Most of the items this time he got from Dungeon Tsubolt.
Then he walked up to Viska and checked his belongings with <3D Perceptions>.
His armor, helmet and curved swords are all excellent stuff. The necklace appears to be some sort of Grace Gear as well. But what Lecan wants is the thing that causes that weird petrifaction effect. That was no poison, magic nor curse. It must have been a Grace Gear of some kind.
(Hm?)
(There's something hidden in his chest area.)
(Can't sense any mana from it though, doesn't seem noteworthy.)
(But, would you bring an item that does nothing to a duel?)
”<Appraisal>.”
Viska looked startled when he saw Lecan cast appraisal.
(What.)
(My appraisal won't pass?)
Lecan took his thin wand from <Storage>.
He held it up, calmed his mind and carefully kneaded his mana.
”O Gafra Dafra, mirror that reflects all truth, o wisdom of terminus. Clear away the arcane light of bewildering mist pointed by my wand, passed through by my mana, cast light upon its true actuality. <Appraisal>.”
