Episode 8.10-11
The next day, Lecan practiced under Nike's guidance. He was taught about inner working of human body between practices. And they also talked about a lot of things.
"I want a sword. A fine sword to replace my trusty sword. A sword that won't break even if I swing it with all my might. Where can I get one?"
"Unn. Well I do know so skilled blacksmiths. But none of 'em could probably make a sword that can answer your demands. D'you know about Duvolt dungeon?"
"No, no clue."
"Also known as for a reason you see. It's a dungeon that spawn treasure chests that often have swords inside. So of swords that have left marks in legends originated from this dungeon even, in any case, you can get your hands on quite a sword if you go to lower stratum. However, the spawn rates of treasure chests there aren't that high, and many strong adventurers congregate there, so you can never let your guard down in many ways."
"Where's it."
"It's about a month of stagecoach trip from here."
If Lecan assus it will take him about a month to obtain the sword he wants, that will be three months in total including the round trip. Since he's still completing his study under Shira right now, he can't exactly ask for a three month break. That dungeon will have to wait.
"Does a sword like this exist in this world."
Lecan took a sword made of Divine tal and showed it to Nike. Nike stared at the sword after having a look of surprise on her face.
"Oh dearie . Isn't that a sword. And one utterly devoid of impurity at that. This is an unbelievable treasure you know. Moreover, the sword itself is quite well made. It must be very sharp. I say. Do you really need a new sword with this one here?"
"Fumu. So it's called Solid Sacred Silver over here huh. This sword is too sharp. The blade is thin and sharpened so much that if I put my strength to cut a hard tough enemy, it will probably chip. It's also not suited to gouge enemy body by twisting the blade, nor to guard attack with its body. This is a sword that can only cut. I can't use it as my main weapon."
"I see. In that regard, dungeon items are indeed durable and if it has specific Graces, you can even fight without putting load on the sword blade."
"Without putting load on the sword blade?"
"Yep. Just like my sword is."
Nike unsheathed her short sword and showed it to Lecan.
It's a beautiful sword. And Lecan could feel so sort of Graces from it.
"Mind if I appraise it?"
"Go ahead if you can."
""
He couldn't read anything.
"Unappraisable?"
"That's how it is. This is also a type of Grace, you see. This Grace-laden sword possesses a Grace called , there's a special way to wield it."
"Hou."
"You'd get to appraise it one of these days once you've gotten better with your Appraisal skill, surely."
