Chapter 306: The Day The Broken Sword Was Reforged
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Christina was outraged.
Watson had shattered the Sky Severing Blade she was carrying. Not only was that sword one of the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s four great artifacts, but it was also a priceless gift from her father. Initially, she had wanted to find Watson to reason with him. Finally, the cathedral’s statue was broken, and the priests had lost contact with the gods.
As a partner in St. Antilles Cathedral, she was obligated to find someone to assist her in resolving that issue. Then, the problem she had been preoccupied with for half a day was mysteriously resolved, and Watson had vanished. She reasoned that Watson might have something important to attend to and thus had left. She went to the Golden Quill Pavilion to take a look. Watson, the kind young man, was assisting his subordinates in increasing their strength. He was in a meeting with them.
Whatever the case, Watson had broken her sword. He should, at the very least, speak with her about the compensation and express his apology. Why did Watson act as if nothing had happened?
“Christina, even though I broke your weapon, it was as the result of your attempt to stop me. I don’t believe I did anything wrong.”
Christina’s fury oozed when she heard Watson’s words. However, she rolled her eyes and stifled her rage.
“Watson, I know it’s difficult for you to compensate me with a platinum-tier item. Why don’t you find a way to repair the Sky Severing Blade? If you can repair it, I won’t make things difficult for you.” As she spoke, she took a broken sword from her waist.
Repairing a platinum-tier weapon was not significantly easier than forging it, which necessitated extensive knowledge in forging. She knew that Watson had created gold-tier armor for his subordinates. He appeared to be well knowledgeable in forging. However, making gold-tier armor was significantly less complex than forging platinum-tier items.
The latter was a hundred times more complicated than the former.
Watson was still so young. It was impossible for him to know how to repair the SkY Severing Blade. Of course, she did not make such a request so that Watson would fix it. It would be better if he could not do it. That way, she would have an excuse to make Watson do something else for her.
Christina’s mouth corners slightly raised in response to that thought. Her face lit up with a smile. At that moment, a voice rang in her ear.
“Just repair it? That’s too easy. System fusion, activate.”
Christina felt a lightness in her hand. She did not know when the broken sword she was holding had ended up in Watson’s hand. Furthermore, the broken blade had been reattached. The sharp and bright blade was like a mirror reflecting her face.
“Lady Swordmistress, I have repaired your weapon. If you require nothing else, please leave.”
Watson gestured for Christina to leave. Christina, on the other hand, had a blank look on her face. She took the Sky Severing Blade and looked it up and down. She rubbed her eyes and wondered if she had seen wrongly.
“Eh? What’s going on?”
How could a broken platinum-tier weapon be repaired so quickly? Had he really fixed it? However, she had never heard of any repair method that could be done so quickly. Furthermore, he did not require flames to reforge the blade. It was simply too amazing.
Cristina repeatedly confirmed the Sky Severing Blade in her hand. She discovered that that blade was not weaker than the one she had in the past. Instead, it was stronger. That made her even more puzzled.
Ignoring the dazed Christina, Watson returned to Clyde and the others and asked, “Where was I?”
“You were informing us about the underground city,” Annie said. When she gazed at Watson, her eyes were filled with admiration. Christina had not seen what happened because she had been talking. However, Annie was fully aware of what the young man had done.
Watson had taken the broken sword from Christina’s hand. Then, he twisted his ring, and a few similar weapons appeared in his hand. He turned them into flowing lights and fused them, repairing the Sky Severing Blade. That whole process only took a few seconds.
She was already shocked when Watson could create gold-tier weapons instantly. It seemed like that was not all. The more she understood Watson, the more she sensed his incomprehensibility.
“That’s right. Let’s set off now. First, we’ll get some supplies. Then, we’ll enter the maze.”
Watson waved his hand and turned to leave. However, someone stopped him.
“Watson, wait!”
The person who stopped him was Christina. Watson turned around and asked impatiently, “Yes, is there anything else you require?”
“If you want to go to the underground maze, please bring me along!”
Christina sheathed Sky Severing Blade. With a calm expression, she said, “Of course, Watson, I would not ask you to help me for nothing. In return, I will prepare all the supplies you need to enter the underground maze. The Holy Sword adventurer team has already cleared the 70th level and is moving toward the 80th level! We know what each level has and what needs to be prepared. What do you think? Are you willing to collaborate with me?”
“Sorry, I—”
Watson hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse.
He entered the dungeon not to search for treasures but to improve his strength through training. If he were to cooperate with Christina, he would forfeit that purpose.
“Watson, just accept Lady Swordmistress’ invitation. Only the last level of the underground maze is useful to you. There is nothing special about the other levels, so it is alright to ask others for help. It is better as it will end quickly.”
A man’s compelling voice rang forth. Antonio and Denise entered the room unexpectedly from the outside. Antonio smiled as he leaned on his shabby, bent staff.
“Who are you?”
Christina was initially taken aback upon seeing Antonio. Then, she opened her eyes wide in astonishment, as if she had discovered something. “Your face looks somewhat familiar. Have we met before?”
“I’m Watson’s master. As for whether we’ve met before, I can only say that we met two days ago when we were in the Adventurers’ Association.”
“So it’s you.”
Christina recalled the Adventurers’ Association; in addition to Nightingale and Clyde, there was a man with platinum hair and a lady with blazing red hair who resembled a flame elf. Those two people stood behind Watson, so she assumed they were Watson’s attendants. She had not anticipated that the white-haired young man would turn out to be Watson’s master.
At that point, she could not help but view the person in front of her in a better light. Watson was already so powerful, but what about his master?
“Master, does borrowing other people’s strength to pass through the maze not affect my training?”
Antonio said, “Brat, you don’t believe my words? Don’t you have your own adventurer team and improved their equipment and abilities as well? What’s the difference between that and you joining forces with the Holy Sword adventurer team?”
“If you say so.”
Watson determined that it was plausible and nodded to Christina. “I concur with your request, Lady Swordmistress. There is no time to waste. Let’s go now.”
The swordswoman led Watson out of the door. Before she left, she turned to look at the platinum-haired man because she felt that the man was very similar to someone she knew. Then, she heard him say, “The service at the Golden Quill Pavilion is excellent, especially the ladies here. All of them have good figures and are so gentle. I’ll enjoy them later.”
Then, Christina laughed at herself and turned away, no longer doubting the other party’s identity. The person she knew was a big shot in the kingdom. How could he say such words and appear there? She must have been wrong.
