EP15. Starry Sky Forge (5)
“····I was chosen. What does that mean?”
At Sean’s question, Taeho picked up the sword. Still the same as yesterday, the upper part of the base of the blade was broken, leaving only the hilt.
“Do you believe in the legend that a sword has a will?”
“The Will of the Sword…”
I’ve never heard of it. There was a similar legend among the stories her grandmother told her.
The story that a sword with a will overcomes adversity and defeats evil together with its owner was a common yet classic theme that anyone can relate to.
“Are you talking about the Ego Sword?”
“Yes. Stories like that.”
“…Is it my sword?”
Shaun looked at the sword in amazement. Levi and Elsa, who were listening to the story together, couldn’t help but be surprised this time.
Could it be that his will was transferred to the sword and became the Ego Sword?
The old man chuckled at Sean’s reaction.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really believe in that?”
“・・・・Yes?”
“Baby. Not black life Steel has an ego. Do you think that will work?”
“… No, then why did you ask that question just now?”
When Shawn, who was dumbfounded, asked a question, Tae-ho answered with an amused tone.
“Because I have black memories instead.”
“I’m going to make fun of you again with strange noises…”
“You. Did you cut the stars with this sword?”
Did you cut the stars? He grumbled to Taeho, who was asking even more absurd questions this time, telling him to stop joking around.
“Did you cut the stars? How can I get to the sky?”
“Huh? Sean. You cut a star.”
At Levy’s point from behind her, Sean turned to her with a puzzled look on her face.
Are you trying to get yourself together now? When the hell did he say he cut the stars?
“Shaun cut the stars. That’s great.”
“Mr. Elsa. Do you really believe in it?”
“Why is Sean like that? You really cut Oh, did you not cut or stab?”
As Levy added her question, Shawn belatedly realized what she meant when.
But that’s it.
Can you say that you cut a star?
I’m not trying to argue whether it was cut or stabbed, but it must have been a kind of magic.
“I roughly understood what you were talking about. …But it was a meteorite rather than a star, and it was nothing more than magic used by a wizard in the first place.”
“So it was not the stars, but the meteor magic was blocked. Is this sound?”
Sean doesn’t know much about magic, but he nodded his head. If Meteor is a magic that creates and drops meteorites, that’s true.
“According to what I read, it is the stars that you cut down. Hmm····. Wizard there!”
Levy, the only magician, responded to Taeho’s call.
“Yes?”
“If you were there, you would know. Was that magic meteor magic?”
“I’m not sure, but… It was a little different. If Meteor is a magic that shapes and drops a rock with magical power, the magic he used felt like he was pulling a real meteorite.”
····Is that possible?
Even as Sean listened to Levy, he had to question whether he understood it correctly.
Aside from anything else, you dragged the stars in the sky to the earth. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now that I think about it, I think it’s beyond what humans can do.
“Even that wizard is not an ordinary guy. Anyway, it is correct that you cut down your black star. I guarantee that in the name of the Iron God.”
Saying that, Sean couldn’t raise any further objections.
“I get it first. So, what does the fact that my sword cut the stars have anything to do with being chosen?”
“Being chosen is a metaphorical expression. To put it simply, it means that it is possible to strengthen the sword through divine power.”
“Does that make it much better than most swords?”
Taeho nodded nonchalantly and affirmed.
“This is probably one of the best weapons I’ve ever made.”
“That’s true… It’s good?”
It’s definitely something to be happy about, but Sean just showed a bewildered reaction when he heard the good news so suddenly.
Rather, it was up to Levi, who was listening to the story, to express his joy.
“Wow! Really good! Yes?!”
“Uh. I know. I didn’t know it would turn out this well…”
“hehehe. Thank god.”
But not all problems are over.
“Just. We have the materials we need for that.”
“Ingredients?”
“I can’t handle the power of the divine power simply by attaching the broken blade. The reinforcement will fail.”
“Then what do I need?”
Taeho answered Sean’s question.
“This sword contains the memories of the stars. So if you use stars as materials, you can fully use your memories.”
“・・・・Yes? I beg your pardon?”
“I need a meteorite as a material for the blade of the sword.”
It was an absurd request that made me wonder if it was a joke.
I asked what material I needed, and what should I do if the answer is a meteorite?
Sean couldn’t help but open his mouth, and all he could do was ask a question.
“Where do you get meteorites?”
“That’s it, you have to find it yourself.”
“What if I can’t find one?”
“You can’t fix the sword. Don’t you have to answer such an obvious thing?”
Meteorite. A shooting star that fell from the sky.
Where do you get that?
“To tell you one thing, a meteor fell from the sky a few days before you arrived.”
“Meteor? Where?”
“It must be somewhere in the Calderon Mountains.”
In the end, it seems that I have no choice but to rely only on the information the old man gave me.
“Okay. I will look for it.”
“Go quickly and come back. Because I don’t have enough time.”
If you say you don’t have time, does that mean that if you’re late, the memory of the sword will disappear? Or do you mean the meteorite might disappear?
I’m not sure, but it wouldn’t be empty words thrown for no reason anyway.
Sean nodded and began to prepare to go outside.
“I’ll come too!”
“It will be faster if we find it together.”
At Levy and Elsa’s words, Sean let out an awkward laugh and murmured.
“It’s my job, so it’s okay to go alone…”
“What are you talking about! If you leave it alone, you’ll get hurt again like last time!”
“hahahaha…”
“Hmm. You’re already helping out.”
Levy forgot how angry he was when he heard the expression domestic help.
“My, my help…. I just think Sean is so clumsy…”
“Of course I know. They say that a man should hold onto a woman tightly to avoid accidents.”
“Mr. Elsa. Please stop teasing me…”
I couldn’t help but hate the way he covered his mouth and smiled noblely.
“Anyway! Now let’s go find the meteorite!”
***
The weather in Calderon was cold as always.
Even though Levy used magic, the three of them wore winter clothes just in case.
“It’s pretty daunting after it comes out.”
“Somewhere in Calderon… It must be difficult to find within today, right?”
“Surely Taihu said it was Yuseong, right?”
At Levy’s question, Shawn nodded his head.
“Hmm. Aren’t meteors different from meteorites?”
“Really? Didn’t that mean something similar?”
In the conversation between Levy and Sean, Elsa explained the difference between the two.
“A meteor refers to a phenomenon in which a star falls from the sky. A meteorite means a fragment of a star that fell to the continent like that.”
“Then it is the same.”
“The problem is that the stars burn up in the process of falling from the sky. There is no guarantee that a meteor will reach the ground and remain as a meteorite. It may burn completely.”
Shaun stepped up.
In other words, if we put together what Elsa said.
“So you’re saying there might not be meteorites?”
“So you’re saying it’s hopeless?”
“No, if the meteorite wasn’t there from the beginning even after looking around, then you’re just a high school student.”
“Exactly.”
The will is broken. Calderon is not even a small area, but to find a meteorite stone that is uncertain even where it is, let alone go through a blizzard.
Meanwhile, Levy, whether aware of her seriousness or not, saw her friend approaching her and bowed her head in greeting.
“Wow! It’s a kyun!”
“·······················.
“That’s his name. Now, say hello!”
In Levy’s arms, Kün looked at Elsa for a moment, then turned her head away.
It seems that she is not interested in all women. Because she was friendly only to Levy.
“Levy. Let go of the fox We have to go find the meteorite.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Sean tried to gather her heart and said to Levi.
“I have a good idea!”
“Good idea. Which?”
“Let’s ask Kyun if he has ever seen a meteorite!”
Sean felt a vague sense of déjà vu at that natural plan.
I’m sure you’ve been through a similar situation before.
“Kyu-ah. Have you ever seen a star fall from the sky?”
“Queup.”
“Really? Then do you know where the star fell?”
“Queup.”
“Wow. Then guide me!”
“Queup!”
Elsa, admiring her appearance, asked Levi.
“As expected, wizards are great.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you just talk to animals with magic!”
“You didn’t use magic?”
“Eh?”
Sean could understand her bewildered reaction, which was not like her.
If you hear that kind of answer, everyone will react the same way.
Elsa asked, pointing her hand at her fox.
“…Then how did you communicate with him?”
“Hmm. Rather than having a specific conversation, did she exchange hearts?”
Unsurprisingly, Elsa did not understand Levi’s answer. Even Sean, who had been with her since childhood, did not understand, so it was a result of which there was no need to be surprised.
“Anyway, that fox knows where it is, right?”
“Well?”
“Didn’t the fox just say yes…?”
Then Levy looked at Sean pitifully and replied.
“Shaun. How do you understand what animals are saying? After all, Sean has a clumsy side?”
“·······.”
Sean didn’t understand what Levy was trying to say.
It’s okay. Because that was also normal.
It is not easy for an ordinary person to understand a great and supreme wizard.
