A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods-Chapter 446: Commission for Adelaide

"Both of these swords are made with the idea that the two wielders will fight together. Not only that, but the color of the swords is also part of the powers that these two swords hold within."

"What do you mean?" Elaina asked. Her attention has been piqued. The two boys are also listening intently while Adelaide is waiting in the corner and listening quietly.

"See, these two swords are something that I made in mind based on how you describe the abilities of your two boys. As you can see, the black sword is primarily giving its wielder the ability to withstand damage while also being able to inflict it on their enemies who threaten their lives. What’s unique about it is that the more damage you block or receive, the stronger the conversion of power becomes." frёeωebɳovel.com

Raye’s eyes lit up hearing this. "This is perfect for me! With how I fight defensively, the sword’s power is the right power I can use to defeat my enemies!"

"Indeed. Oh, and about the name of your sword, I decided to call it Tenebria," The Village Chief smiled, seeing the satisfied look of Raye.

"What about mine?" Arthur is also excited to hear about his sword.

"Patience, my dear twin. We won’t be leaving this place without hearing about your sword anyway, so don’t rush the Elder," Adelaide scolded her twin.

"Hoho, it’s alright. Now, for his sword, it is the typical weapon that can inflict damage like normal. It doesn’t have the same abilities as the Tenebria, but that is due to its abilities and differences in power accumulation. This sword is called Luxias and is the opposite of the Tenebria. If Tenebria defends, the Luxias attacks. But unlike other weapons, the more you attack, the more you accumulate power over time, like how Tenebria works, but only by attacking. The attack that both swords can unleash once they have accumulated their power is very destructive. If you want to use it, better use it on the things you wanted to be destroyed. Otherwise, just leave it be. The energy it accumulated will dissipate over time."

"But wait, you said earlier that these swords shine better if the wielders fight together, yes? Does that mean there are more powers these twin swords have?" Elaina asked.

"Ah yes, I am glad you mentioned that! And yes, the swords do have a skill that activates if the two wielders put their blade together. Here, let me demonstrate."

The Village Chief stood up and took back the two swords from the boys and unsheathed both swords from their scabbards. The moment their swords were unsheathed, both swords glowed as if it has acknowledged their creator.

"It seems these swords seem to have a mind of their own," Elaina commented after seeing the light spectacle.

"Haha, that is a way for me to prove that I am the creator of these swords. If I am selling these swords, that function earlier proves how legit my work is, and if they are indeed part of my work. Even though I am not selling them in a sense, I still don’t fail to make my mark on these swords myself."

Once he is done explaining, he puts the two swords together, and in a snap, the two swords become one, but a sword with two handles.

"The twin swords’ ultimate finisher. If combined with their respective abilities, the blade itself will get longer and more dangerous than ever. It’s simple and a bit underwhelming, but considering this ability will be less likely to be used a lot, except in certain situations where winning is close to impossible, then this one can definitely turn the tide of a battle."

He pulled the handles of the sword in the opposite direction, allowing the fusion of the two swords to cancel out and return to their normal form. Sheathing them back in the scabbards, he returned the swords to the two.

"If you two are disappointed by the ultimate ability of the two swords, then I can’t do anything about it. After all, weapons are meant to be used to fight and kill, not to show off. It might look flashy at first, but because it is an energy-based power and is lethal enough to kill, the flashy effect is just temporary the moment the target dies."

Arthur seems not to mind how lackluster the show is earlier, and bows down to the Village Chief. "No, I also think being flashy defeats the purpose of a weapon as well. If it were infused with magic, perhaps I might understand, but if it were an innate power of the sword,d and all it does is attract attention, then that sword is useless. And I don’t think simple means boring. A simple power like that is enough, and it doesn’t overcomplicate things."

Raye also follows suit and bows down to him. "I agree with everything Arthur said, Elder. This sword already fulfills what we wanted, their abilities are just a bonus to be honest. So everything is still good."

Elaina smiled, hearing this. She didn’t instruct them to say this; all they have said to the Elder are their own feelings and their own opinions. Perhaps their taste in swords comes from the less flashy attacks she uses with her sword. They might not attract much attention, but they are lethal and precise.

The Village Chief laughed at the words of the kids and looked at Elaina. "Even as a single mother, you have raised your kids beautifully. Some parents should take notes from your ways."

Elaina blushed hearing that, but she quickly recovered. "You are flattering me, Elder. But I am not a perfect parent, and I still have my inadequacies, but that doesn’t mean I would let those imperfections of mine undermine my ability to raise kids. Anyways, enough of that. Just like I promised, I brought food supplies to the whole village. They are freshly harvested and should last for quite some time. Not only that, but I also added a few bonuses as well, like fruits and some artisan goods that my farm makes."

"Hohoho, I won’t say no to that. With how the goods you deliver here make us want to return to the surface, we can just say that we appreciate extra stuff included."

"And here is an advance payment. You said you accept any commission, right?"

The Village Chief looked at me and grinned. "Is it for your little girl here?"

"Correct. However, instead of a regular sword, I wanted her weapons to be similar to a sword but could act as a wand for magicians. Make it a conduit for magic."

He frowned, hearing this. "A magic sword, eh?"

"Magic sword?" Elaina looked puzzled.

"Yes. Magic Sword. A sword that can be used by the caster as both a weapon and a wand for magic casting. The most crucial weapon for the Magic Knights back in the day. However, I doubt Magic Knights exist nowadays. Based on how things work on the surface, Magic Knights no longer exist, yes?"

Instead of Elaina, Adelaide nodded. "You are correct. After the Great War, the Magic Knights all retired, and although a few tried to inherit the abilities to become Magic Knights, considering how the training of a magic knight involves both magic and swordsmanship, the new generation decided to split up on what they specialized in, which is magic and swordsmanship. As for the combination of those two, they slowly disappeared and soon enough, not a single one has been recorded to be a Magic Knight."

"You are knowledgeable. So you already know that, and yet you still wanted to undertake the path of reviving the Magic Knights?"

"Reviving? I have no intention of doing that. This is how I fight, and I just prefer it."

Hearing Adelaide’s reasoning, the Village Chief laughed hard that his voice could be heard echoing all around the place.

"Hey, I think you should give up on that request! I don’t think he believes you!" Arthur said in a hushed tone, and yet the Elder heard him.

"No, no, Boy. I might have been laughing, but it wasn’t meant to insult her choice or her reasons. It’s just that this is the first time I have encountered someone who is not shy about showing what she wants. Her intentions are all bare for me to see. Therefore, I will agree to that commission. But for me to create the sword that you needed, I needed a specific metal that can be found deep in the mines. Compared to the Mithril that I used to forge the twin swords, I needed something that could be used to channel magic power and keep it on the blades. Mithril will work, but it has terrible performance, so as the people who wanted the product to be done, I will task you with finding the metal known as the Adamantite."

He stood up from his seat and returned his forge. "Until you obtain that ore, the sword will remain on halt for the time being."
