Half an hour later, Link finally saw Kanorse .

It had been half a year since Link saw him . Kanorse was no longer the naive young knight he once was . He now exuded an air of authority that befitted his place as the army's marshal .

When Eliard and Milose saw Kanorse, they could feel a sudden pressure weighing on them . The two of them stood behind Link nervously . Despite being a master of the same level as Kanorse, Milorse still did not dare speak out of turn for fear of offending him .

Of course, this did not affect Link and Nana .

This was due to the training both of them had undergone and also the fact that Ferde was a main supporter of Orida Fortress . Ferde provided 70% of the fortress' resources and had a monopoly on the provision of all kinds of magical equipment for the soldiers there .

Given the fact that Link had also saved his life once, it seemed that this was a debt Kanorse would not be able to fully repay in his lifetime .

In a study on the second floor of the fortress, Kanorse personally poured a cup of hot tea for every one of them . He then sat down and smiled . "My lord, why haven't you come with your army?"

Kanorse was already made aware of the news that the Sunlight Army of Ferde was going to back up Orida Fortress .

Link smiled back . "I'm heading towards the North on a secret mission, so I thought I would drop by here first . My army should reach Orida Fortress in half a month's time . You know Nana here . She's injured, and I'll need to borrow the fortress' enchantment workshop for a bit . "

"Oh, I see . " Kanose did not even bother asking what Link intended to do up north . Since it was a secret mission, even if he asked, Link probably would not be willing to give him the details . "I'll order the military Magicians to vacate the workshop immediately . "

"Thank you . "

"It's no problem at all . Actually, my lord, there is something I was hoping you could help me with . There's something off about my sword . I was wondering if you could fix it a bit for me . " Kanorse handed the Lion's Fury sword over to Link .

Link smiled and asked, "What would you like me to change, then?"

It was Link who had given this sword its current form . Back then, Link's combat skills were excellent, but his combat sensitivity was nowhere near his current level . Despite his attempts to forge the perfect sword for Kanorse, it might not have suited him . Hearing what Kanorse said, Link thought that he did not forge the sword right in the first place .

Kanorse scratched his head, confused .

I don't really know . At first, it felt right in my hand . But recently, it's become a bit unwieldy . "

Link understood what was going on . Kanorse's skills had improved tremendously, but the weapon just could not keep up with them .

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't you perform a basic sword form here in the study? I may be able to see what is wrong with your sword . "

"Alright . " Kanorse knew that Link was now a combat master and should be able to see what the problem was with it . He then began to brandish his sword about in the tiny room .

The study was extremely tiny . There were bookshelves and paperwork around him . He started slow, holding his movements back . After giving his sword two swings, Link said, "Now you're just dancing . I can't see what your problem is from a dance number . The sword that I've forged for you is meant for murder, so use actual killing techniques with it!"

Kanorse immediately understood what Link meant . There was now a drastic change in his form as he swung his sword a third time . Killing intent flowed out from every stroke of his sword, rocking the whole room like a tidal wave .

With a gentle wave of his hand, Link set up a barrier around the room in order to s.h.i.+eld everything in it from Kanorse's sword . At the same time, an illusion of himself surfaced from his body with a sword ready in its hand .

Link's illusion held nothing back as its sword stabbed straight at Kanorse's back . The attack came slow, giving Kanorse ample time to react .

The illusion accelerated its attack as soon as Kanorse sensed it behind him . He immediately turned around and managed to block the attack in time .

In the span of a few moments, Link's illusion and Kanorse exchanged flurries of stabs and slices with each other in the cramped, 100-square-foot s.p.a.ce of the study . Each stroke of their swords was calculated to slay the other on the spot .

Though Eliard and Milose were Magicians, the two of them could feel just how terrifying Kanorse's swordsmans.h.i.+p was . Eliard still had a grip on himself . On the other hand, cold sweat dripped from Milose's forehead profusely . His eyes were wide with awe and terror as he watched the two masters cross swords .

The only other person who was not affected by this was Nana .

Her eyes were locked tightly on the two duelists' movements . When the duel reached a high point, her hands began swinging about in an attempt to imitate their movements . She was completely captivated by the spectacle before her .

Such a reaction was understandable . Both Link and Kanorse were masters of the combat arts . A duel between two masters of their caliber was guaranteed to be worth watching . One would be hard-pressed to find such high-level displays of swordsmans.h.i.+p from masters of the Aragu realm .

The duel went on for ten minutes . Then, Link's illusion took a step back and faded into specks of light . Kanorse chased after it, still intent on continuing the fight . He then turned to Link, somewhat disappointed . "That was fun . My lord, we could still continue our duel for a few more minutes if you like . "

It had been a while since Kanorse had fought someone to a standstill even with his full strength . It was an exhilarating experience .

Link shook his head . "Another time, perhaps . I now know what your sword needs . Give it to me . "

"Alright . " Still not completely satisfied, Kanorse handed Link the Lion's Fury and then wrote a mandate for him .

As soon as Link received the doc.u.ment, a white light enveloped his body, and he vanished from the study . An instant later, he reappeared in front of the fortress' Mage Tower .

MIlose reappeared behind him . He let out a sigh, looking at Link with renewed admiration .

"My lord, I never knew you were this good with the sword . "

He had only known about Link's swordsmans.h.i.+p through hearsay . Even back on the Golden Plains, Link had only ambushed them with a few strikes from his sword . Milose finally witnessed the true extent of Link's swordsmans.h.i.+p with his own eyes today .

"I dabbled with it from time to time," said Link, smiling . "Come, I'll need all your help on the next item of our agenda . "

Eliard and Milose nodded . Both of them followed Link into the Mage Tower .

Inside the tower, without even looking at Kanorse's mandate, the Magicians instantly knew who Link was and nearly went down on all fours before him . They were more than willing to provide him with everything he needed . Link probably would have the whole tower for himself if he asked for it .

A few minutes later, Link and the others were now in a fully furnished enchantment workshop .

"Nana, lie down on that platform, please," said Link .

"Oh, alright . " After lying down, Nana asked, "Should I take off my clothing?"

"No need . Wait there for a bit," said Link . He then placed Kanorse's Lion's Fury sword on an enchantment workbench in a corner and proceeded to mend it into a new shape for no more than five minutes . When he was done, he stroked the blade with a finger, and it flashed with white light .

Seeing this, Eliard asked, "That's it?"

"Of course . Just wait and see, Kanorse will personally come and thank me . . . "

Before he could finish, a figure appeared in the in the workshop's doorway . It was Kanorse . When he received the newly mended Lion's Fury sword from Link, his face flushed with excitement .

"That's it, my lord . It's perfect . There's no reason for such a perfect sword to exist in this world . Oh, it's basically a divine weapon made only for my hands!"

Eliard and Milose were speechless as well . Both of them had always felt that there was something divine about Link's enchantments .

"Alright, alright, I still have work to do . I'm sure you have lots of work to do as well . " Link dismissed an excited Kanorse out of the room with a wave of his hand .

Link was in no rush to repair Nana . He walked over to where Nana lay and laid out all sorts of alchemical materials on a nearby workbench . As he began preparing a medicinal concoction, he explained, "Nana's body was once infused with Dragon essence . It's undergone all kinds of changes ever since . She's also probably encountered much in the Aragu realm . I already gave her a look . She's now evolved into something resembling actual life, but it still lacks a certain spark . "

"How so?" Eliard walked over to Link's side, watching him picking and choosing his ingredients carefully . Link's words had piqued his curiosity .

Though Milose did not say a word, he was stunned by what Link had just said . Link basically meant that he was able to turn a magic puppet like Nana into an actual living being .

How was this possible?

No matter how powerful a Legendary master might be, Link was still a normal human being . There was no way a normal human being could create sentient life!
