403 Wanting to Improve a Masterpiece (2/2)

The Law Master asked as he felt that there was only one reason for the ruler of the eastern continent wanting to meet their group if it wasn't for using them to end the king or rescuing people.

”Indeed. You were the most talented disciple of Tofesh back then, and you are even better than him right now. I never met you before, but I feel that you are pretty good for having Tofesh praising you so much.”

Tofesh had a great problem while practicing and never became a Law Master, which provoked his death due to the end of his lifespan. However, Yale's sword was his greatest work and surpassed by far any other weapon crafted by Tofesh, to the point that even Lina who mastered the Smith Law was unable to tell Yale how to improve it.

However, Yale felt that the Space-time Judgement Sword was far too weak after it broke in the battle against Lina. The sword was still in a perfect state because the effects of that battle were nullified, but Yale felt that the sword would end breaking in the future if he didn't improve it.

It was already a feat that a sword made by someone who wasn't even a Law Master on the Smith Law reached such a high level, but for a battle at an Essence God level it was clearly lacking.

Tofesh's favorite disciple wasn't better than Lina in the Smith Law, but since he focused on it and learned from Tofesh, Yale felt that maybe he could have an idea of how to improve it.

”That sword is my master's masterpiece. Probably, you want to improve it, but I need to apologize in advance because I have no confidence at all in improving it. Although my master was weaker than me when he crafted it, sometimes masterpieces far surpass one's level, and your sword is a clear case of that. I think that unless my master himself resurrected and became a Law Master, no Law Master could improve it, and I have the feeling that even a Law God will fail.”

Besides the original creator, it would be difficult improving a masterpiece of a different crafter without a huge difference on talent, and although he knew that he had surpassed his master, the difference wasn't that much.

In fact, by crafting a masterpiece like Yale's sword, it should have been enough for a normal person to break through to a Law God in the Smith Law directly, but sadly, Tofesh had some problems that he never told to others that prevented him from advancing normally.

Tofesh always told that was a problem of talent and even Yale didn't know the truth behind it, but he knew that Tofesh was lying bluntly. However, Yale's past life always respected Tofesh's privacy, and since Tofesh hadn't spoken until his death, that matter remained a secret forever.

It was still a secret, but after Yale returned from the Timeless Border, he had a rough guess about the truth behind Tofesh's problems.

”I guessed that this was the case, but in your heart, you feel that maybe the first prince who is still in prison will be able to do it, right?”

Everyone already assumed that Yale could read their minds, and indeed, their mind was like an open book, and being nervous in front of Yale just made it easier for him.

”That is right. He is better than me, and I taught him in the same way that my master taught me, so maybe he can do it.”

The first prince was recognized as the best blacksmith of the kingdom before he was accused of killing his father and sent to prison.

”Then after rescuing him, I will ask if he can help me to improve this sword.”

Yale stored his sword and decided to leave.

”Lina, you will be in charge of rescuing everyone while I deal with the king personally.”

The restrictions of the prison were just to block Laws, so Lina could save them without problems. Moreover, since she had a world far bigger than the Storage Space, it was a better place to put everyone as it would be bothersome leaving with a huge volume of people.

”Understood, darling.”

Yale still felt weird when Lina called him like that, but he needed to endure is as part of a plan devised by the two of them to solve their respective problems.

Since both of them had experience in being swarmed by members of the opposite sex, they decided to fake a relationship in front of others.

That was Lina's idea after she learned about Yale's worries about what to do after rescuing some of his female friends who were clearly interested in him romantically.

Since even Yale's father mistook them for a couple, they decided to use that in their favor to avoid others pestering them instead of clarifying that there just friends each time someone had that misunderstanding.

As for how Lina called Yale, that was just her revenge for how much fun Yale had by teasing her previously since Yale felt quite weird when hearing her saying that word.

She was embarrassed when saying it, but she was good at hiding it.
