"My name is Alphonse. Do you have a name?
What's your name? I don't know. There have been many of them who have used me before, but each of them called themselves by name. You can call me whatever you want.)
"Hmm. I guess so. Okay, Norn. I'm going to call you Magic Sword Norn."
Talk to the sword you picked up.
I may be worried that someone I don't know may have gone crazy. [M]
But he was definitely a conversationalist.
I named the magic sword Norn. [M]
"So? Why was Norn buried here?
(Oh? It's decided, right? Because the previous owner died here. When I met a strong opponent, that idiot used a big trick. I wonder what happens when you attack in such a narrow place.)
"Oh, I see. That's why this place collapsed."
(That's what it is. And that's how I sleep here. Hey, kid. What time is it now? How long have I been buried here? Is there still a country called Brilia?
"Well, now it's six years of the Gallows calendar. Of course there is Brilliant Magic Country. This labyrinth is managed by the Brillian Magic Land."
(I don't know the calendar. Well, it must have been hundreds of years since my magic was exhausted.)
"Well, Norn is such an old sword.... I wonder if it's okay. I broke it when I used it."
(Don't be afraid, kid. Well, that's possible. I used to be the strongest sword, but now I have no magic at all. If the user is a slug, it may break easily)
"Hmm. Then I can't use it."
(Hey, what? You're saying something you can't just throw away. You think I can't use it? I'm not kidding.)
"I guess so. This hard-toothed sword would be much easier to use if it could be easily broken."
What kind of sword is that? From what I've seen, I probably made a sword out of monster material, but I can't afford to lose to such a tiny sword. If there's more blood, it's stronger than a sword like that.
"Really?
(... well, the kid doesn't know what I'm good at. You don't even know how to fight properly, do you? Is it natural that such a kid would prefer a sword that is just hard to break?)
When I heard Norn's words, I snapped.
You don't know how to fight?
It's also an insult to my training so far and to the eye I've been associated with.
I can't listen to that.
"If you say so, I'll use it, Norn. Let's get out of here and fight the Magic Army. Here, have a drink. I'm going to give you a little more of my blood, so I won't let you tell me that I didn't have the power because I didn't have enough magic."
Really, kid? Well, that's fine. If you give me blood, please don't hesitate to take it. The kid's blood has little magic but good quality. It's pretty good blood to drink for a long time.)
I don't need that kind of blood reputation.
Though I thought so, I pressed my finger against the sword again, which was still bleeding, and gave Norn blood.
The amount of blood coming out of my fingers shouldn't be that much.
However, when there is blood, Norn trembles as if he's pulsating.
The red and black sword became a little more beautiful red around the bloody spot.
I wonder if this color is a discoloration of blood?
With that in mind, I decided to fight the Magic Army to show Norn the power of the sword.
He crawled through the narrow hole that came through again and returned to the original passage.
"Welcome home, Alphonse. Was there any danger?
"Yeah, it's okay, Eye."
Really?... no, is your finger hurt? And the sword?
"Um, my fingers are fine. It's not a big deal, so I'm fine. So I found this sword at the end of the road through this hole. They were buried in the dirt. Probably left behind while no one came."
Really? Perhaps it's a good sword. "
"Oh, is that so?
"Yes, I hear that sometimes in the labyrinth, items that were once left behind in the labyrinth for many years are collected. In that case, do you think that the product may have a mysterious effect? For example, even in the labyrinth in the former Percival territory, old bags have been discovered as magic bags."
Oh, I see.
Speaking of which, I've heard of it.
The mysterious story of the labyrinth.
Magic Stones and more may be available in special places with high magic concentrations, such as the Labyrinth.
Apart from that, I sometimes found strange tools.
Some things, like magic bags, can hold more luggage than they seem, or even equipment.
I have heard that in the Labyrinth City Labyrinth, the equipment of the Explorer who died in the Labyrinth was later discovered and was more powerful than the original equipment.
However, it is said that it changes during the period placed in the labyrinth.
If discovered in a short period of time, it will hardly change from the original equipment.
For a long period of time, you may capture the magic of the Labyrinth and become a sword with high Attack and a defensive shield.
And for a longer period of time, they have special abilities.
But considering that, what about Norn?
According to the self-declaration, it may have been left behind in this magical labyrinth for centuries.
However, in the meantime, the blood ran out and the magic was revealed.
Didn't you capture the magic of the labyrinth?
Besides, it seems like the original ability to breathe blood or fly thoughts and talk.
Is it true that this sword has been abandoned in this labyrinth for a long time?
But it would be a mistake to say that it is an unusual sword.
And above all, I don't forget that you incited me. [M]
I need to show him what I can do.
Reunited with Eye, I decided to move toward you to fight the magic guide, who was slightly off the way home but found signs nearby.
