All adventurers are haphazard. Anyways, do you have any ideas Tianna?
Nick asked Tianna, and she started thinking with her hand on her chin.
Hmm First, we should disguise the Sword of Bonds so they think its another magic sword. Then, we report to the guild that we couldnt find it, and keep using it. Thats fine right? No one has ever seen the Sword itself. The people in the guild know its features but not what it looks like.
I see.
Thats smart.
Tianna smiled proudly as Sem and Karan complimented her.
Fufun. Keep those compliments coming.
Hum, I wonder.
The Sword of Bonds interrupted Tianna.
Is there a problem?
Even if you pretend I am another magic sword, do you think it would be possible for you to obtain such a thing and casually walk around with it? I do not know about the present time, but if it was easy to buy items with magic attached to them, you would have better equipment. The sorcerer is one thing, but the rest do you understand?
Nick and the others wore plain leather armor
Like the Sword of Bonds said, Survivors didnt have the money to buy an expensive item with magic attached.
Uu Well
Well?
I could say I won a lot of money in the dragon races
Rejected. Any other ideas?
Nick cut Tianna off as she was talking.
What!?
What do you mean what? Youd have to win the 10000x ticket.
Ill get it one day, I mean, I did before!
But is the adventurer guild going to buy that?
Tch, stingy.!
Joking aside, there are adventurers that can appraise and judge items even better than merchants I dont think disguising a legendary artifact will be enough to fool them.
Ah I see
Tianna dejectedly dropped her shoulders, and the Sword of Bonds laughed in a braggadocious manner.
Fufun, then shall I impart my wisdom?
If you have an idea say it sooner.
Everyone glared at the Sword of Bonds.
D-Do not be that way. Conversing is fun is it not?
Said the Sword of Bonds as an excuse, and then started saying what it had in mind.
First of all, there is a big flaw in your logic. You do have to deliver a Sword of Bonds, but it does not have to be me.
What are you talking about?
Sword of Bonds is my name, but it is also a product name, and the name of the project. There are other Swords of Bonds with limited features, created when they were trying to perfect me.
Ah!?
Everyone was surprised, which the Sword of Bonds found amusing.
Kakaka, are you surprised? There should be one stored under my pedestal. Go ahead and take it.
Its true that they never specifically said there was only one but If theres more then its a completely different story.
But remember, I said it has limited features. It cannot use my most important feature, union. It can be used to concentrate magic energy from the users partners and boost its strength, but that is not half as powerful as union. Still, it is unmistakably a Sword of Bonds, so you can deliver that one.
Thats borderline fraud, but at least its not a lie.
Whispered Nick with a sullen expression.
You are too young to be so fussy.
Thats just how I am. Theres still one problem.
What?
It would be too suspicious to be walking around with a sword that looks identical to the one we delivered to the guild. Even if we only use it while on adventures, we never know who will see us. I think its best if we hide you for a while.
Do not worry, I have a countermeasure for that as well.
What is it?
My most important feature is union, but it is not the only one. I have a conscience, can do my own maintenance, and have a perpetual self-repair function. My hearing and sight are excellent, and I have a search function that allows me to detect abnormalities around me. I also have a telepath function to allow me to communicate non-verbally with those close to me by sharing our thoughts, and many more.
Youre really useful arent you And whats that telepath? Sounds scary
You do not know what telepathy is? There should have been telepathy jewels in the fake last floor. They are magic items that allow you to use telepath.
Well I do know about communication jewels.
That is an inferior magic item that allows you to share only enough text that fits on one piece of paper, or a monochrome image. It is useful for an office, but telepath is much better for an adventurer.
Eh I feel like were getting off track. You were going to tell us how to trick them.
Oh, you are right I have one more important function called parallel which means
