"Lightweight" — The effect of this development ability depends on the bearer’s carried weight.
The lighter the weight on the bearer, the stronger the effect of this ability becomes, granting Reiger increased "agility" and "quickness."
Conversely, if Reiger’s carried weight is too great, the effect of "Lightweight" will be diminished, or even fail to manifest much effect at all.
Because of this, Reiger has always refrained from donning too many items or heavy armor, so as not to interfere with the "Lightweight" ability’s performance.
For the sake of "Lightweight’s" effect, Reiger even had Chun specially forge the Foolish weapon, which shows just how much Reiger values this developmental ability.
Now, Brian has actually brought out a magic artifact that can reduce the weight carried by the owner for himself, making it impossible for Reiger not to take some interest.
Therefore, Reiger dismissed his initial disinterest in Brian’s magic artifact, and his gaze began to burn with intensity.
Seeing Reiger’s reaction, Brian was not alarmed but pleased.
He wasn’t afraid of Reiger taking an interest in his magic artifacts; rather, he feared Reiger having no interest at all.
If Reiger showed no interest, Brian would have to worry about whether he could persuade Reiger or not.
So, Reiger’s reaction was actually good news in Brian’s eyes.
"Strogonov really didn’t lie to me, Lord Brilliant is indeed interested in magic artifacts."
Remembering the morning when he asked Gejiev for Reiger’s residence and shared his intentions, Brian felt grateful recalling what Gejiev told him.
Poor Reiger didn’t know that he had become someone very interested in magic artifacts in Gejiev’s mind.
After all, who made Reiger agree to undertake Gejiev’s request using the Dragon’s Secret Treasure from Kain Village as a condition?
This created an illusion for Gejiev that Reiger was particularly interested in precious magic artifacts.
Thanks to that, knowing about Brian’s request for a consultation, Gejiev, with a mindset to help others, told Brian the matter.
As a result, Brian thought to offer a magic artifact as a reward to entice Reiger to teach him swordsmanship.
It ended up being a fortuitous coincidence.
At that moment, Brian quickly explained to Reiger.
"Yes, the Flying Dragon Talisman has the effect of reducing the wearer’s own weight and the carried load, and it can also slightly increase speed and flexibility. Although it’s not as precious as Strogonov’s ring, it is nonetheless a rare item."
With that, Brian pulled an amulet from his chest.
It was similar in shape to an amulet, with the design of a flying dragon’s wings embroidered on the surface.
"This is the Flying Dragon Talisman, please use it."
Brian handed the Flying Dragon Talisman to Reiger.
Reiger took it nonchalantly and then felt the change.
Unlike Gejiev’s ring, which required active use, this amulet was a semi-permanent artifact that worked simply by wearing it.
Upon receiving the amulet, Reiger immediately felt his body become lighter, the burden of his clothing and weapons was significantly reduced, enhancing his "Lightweight" ability and rapidly increasing his basic "agility" and "quickness."
"This is really great."
Reiger made no attempt to hide his fondness for this Flying Dragon Talisman.
Seeing this, Brian cleverly seized the moment to follow up on his success.
"Do you like magic artifacts that can reduce weight and increase flexibility, Lord?" Brian smiled at Reiger, saying, "If that’s the case, then perhaps this item might also suit your preferences."
Brian reached into his chest once again and took out another magic artifact.
It was a pair of black and red fingerless gloves.
The gloves, only one pair, looked as if they provided little protection; not only were they thin and finger-revealing, but they also had an open back, so they might even be problematic for keeping warm.
However, these gloves had a similar effect to the Flying Dragon Talisman.
"These are Giant Gloves, magic artifacts woven from the hair of the giant clan, and enchanted with a ’lightening’ spell."
Brian enthusiastically introduced the gloves.
"Their effect is to lighten the burden of the weapon for the wearer without affecting the weapon’s weight and power. Even a child with these gloves could easily lift a weapon weighing over one hundred jin."
"Like the Flying Dragon Talisman, they take effect simply by wearing them."
"They also slightly enhance the strength of the arm that wears them. They are of little use to me, but if you like them, I am also willing to offer these as a gift to you."
Since the knife Brian used was not particularly heavy, he hardly needed this artifact.
However, for those who favored using heavy weapons, this artifact was a treasure and quite valuable.
Brian presented the Giant Gloves to Reiger with great respect, prompting Reiger to accept.
Reiger thought about it and finally decided to put on the gloves and gripped his knife with the gloved hand.
Feeling the weight of the knife at his waist, Reiger indeed noticed that the burden it imposed on him had decreased.
