Episode 43.12 (1/2)
”Now then, Lecan. Let's hear your questions first.”
”Yea. Take a look at this.”
Lecan took the <Talisman of Dark Demon> out and showed it to Shira.
”Oh my. Did you plunder that?”
”My duel opponent suggested a rule for the winner to take one thing off the loser.”
”You won big.”
”Yea. It's thanks to your advice. But that begs a question.”
”Hee?”
”You said this when I told you I was gonna duel a proxy of Fotos's heir. Be wary of Grace Gear.”
”Did I really now.”
”You told me that I could have died if they somehow brought out a Grace Gear on the level of <Ring of Undying King>. So you advised me to end the duel quickly.”
”I've been wondering, you sure have good memories at times.”
”But there's no way this kind of Grace Gear are commonplace.”
”Of course not.”
”Yet you warned me to be careful of <Ring of Undying King>-like Gear.”
”So?”
”You. You knew House of Fotos had this thing all along didn't you?”
”Hee.”
After sounding like she was impressed, Shira quietly sipped her tea for a while.
Lecan waited for Shira's reply in silence.
”Think it was about 200 years ago. House of Fotos raided a noble household that had <Talisman of Dark Demon> and plundered everything they had. Hence I had an inkling the talisman was probably still in Fotos's possession even then.”
”I see. So that's why. By the way, this talisman's activation spell's apparently in ancient language.”
”What's the activation spell again.”
Lecan put away the talisman in <Storage> before replying.
”<Gaspario Raaf>.”
”Ah, indeed. That is an ancient language for sure.”
”According to Norma, it means <O Time, stop moving>.”
”Oh, that's a good translation. It's limited to living beings however.”
”These things are unlike any other Grace Gear. The pattern engraved on <Ring of Undying King> looks quite similar to the one on <Talisman of Dark Demon>. And that's not all, both of those items have the same smell to them. Not sure how to describe it, just that these two items are cut from the same cloth. Are there other items like this in the world?”
”Hmm. I'd like to tell you go find that out yourself here, but I still owe you a debt after all.”
(A debt?)
(What's she talking about.)
(Ah, I see. Vurs magic stone huh.)
Lecan handed over Otherworld Dragon, Vurs's magic stone in exchange for her repairing his broken <Shield of Wolkan>. However, Shira said that the magic stone was worth so much more than that. To that end, Shira regards it as a debt she owes Lecan.
Shira wrote down something on a piece of paper and handed it to Lecan.
