Kanorse was careful but dared to take risks to. He was a natural leader. Faced with this stranger with weird clothing and odd features, he didn’t lose his temper despite the man’s words. A few seconds later, Kanorse said, “The Ferde lord is busy. I’m afraid he doesn’t have time to see you.”
“I know.” The person nodded and smiled. “He’s busy making a magic arm for you.”
This made Kanorse furrow his brows. Not many knew what Link was doing. It was practically a secret. Thus, it put him on edge that a stranger said it like that.
“Who are you?!” Kanorse raised his voice. The Warriors beside him unsheathed their swords. If this mysterious guy answered incorrectly, they would behead him immediately.
The army wasn’t a place for jokes.
This guy probably knew he was pushing it. Wiping away his smile, he said seriously, “I am Magician Dylosen from the Aragu Empire. As for what I know… It isn’t hard for a Legendary Magician to find out these things.”
When the man reported his background, the Warriors were all confused, especially at the word Aragu. However, Kanorse knew confidential matters. Heart jumping, he immediately ordered, “Leave us!”
“General, what about your safety?” One Warrior was worried.
Kanorse looked very clear headed. “Dylosen is a guest and means no harm. Plus, even if he did, you wouldn’t be able to stop him.”
“Very wise,” Dylosen praised. The belittlement in his eyes faded a bit.
When the soldiers all left and only Kanorse and Dylosen were left, Kanorse finally said, “Master Link is very busy. As a fellow Magician, you should know that Magicians hate being disturbed the most when they’re fully focused on something.”
Dylosen smiled. “You’re right. That’s why I chose to come now.”
“What do you mean?” This raised alarms in Kanorse’s mind. He interpreted it as the other coming to take advantage of loopholes. Then he felt a commotion from the Mage Tower’s direction. Link seemed to have come out.
Dylosen seemed to know everything. “Congratulations, young general.” He smiled. “Your arm is here.”
Less than ten seconds after he spoke, Link appeared at the entrance. He looked as he always did. His hair was tied carelessly, he wore a dark silver battle robe, and a magic sword that looked normal but glowed faintly hung at his waist.
Link didn’t come alone. Eliard and Princess Annie followed him. After entering, Link froze when he saw Dylosen, but joy flashed past his eyes afterward.
However, he ignored this foreign Magician for now. He tossed up two thumb-sized metallic balls. They floated and flew to either side of Kanorse. At the same time, Link advised, “General, it may hurt, but don’t fight back. Try not to move your body.”
Kanorse obviously trusted Link. Hearing this, he sat in his chair without moving. The two balls flew to where his arm had been cut off and sped up, digging into the damaged flesh.
It was obviously very painful, but Kanorse just grunted and didn’t move. After the spheres entered him, they expanded, grew, and transformed. The process was impossibly precise. After a while, two steel-gray arms actually grew out of Kanorse’s shoulder. They were the exact size of Kanorse’s original arms.
“Try moving them,” Link said.
Kanorse tried moving his arms, but he discovered that he couldn’t control them. He could only feel that his shoulder was cold. “I can’t control it.”
“No, your finger just twitched. It means that it succeeded,” Link said, smiling.
“Succeeded? So?” Kanorse smiled bitterly. This was only a bit better than before. At least he didn’t look as pathetic anymore.
Smiling without speaking, Link looked to the foreign Magician.
Dylosen had been watching from aside. Now, he’d mostly figured it out. When Link looked over, he understood and explained, “General, the most powerful part about these arms is that it will grow according to your wishes. You can only control it a bit because it hasn’t been long enough. If you don’t give up and keep using them, they’ll become stronger and more agile. They might even become stronger than your original arms!”
Kanorse understood now, but he still didn’t dare believe it. He looked to Link for confirmation.
Link nodded. “Indeed. If you work hard, they will completely belong to you.”
He didn’t create prosthetics that could be used immediately because those were too stiff and would greatly restrict Kanorse’s room for improvement. These arms now used magic knowledge ten times more advanced than the other kind. He’d put in 100 times more effort too and it paid off. The effect was shockingly perfect.
Just as Dylosen said, the most critical thing was that it would grow like a flesh arm. It could keep strengthening and adjust to Kanorse’s needs.
