-- That was the sword that Gandalf drew out of a non-standard sharpness in the decisive battle with the Demon King Gandalf that occurred in the final stage of the Demon King's War, an unexpected sequence of events.

　The sword Garnet received from His Majesty was undoubtedly that one swing.

I've replaced the make with a new one, as expected. The sword itself is completely untouched.
"Your Majesty, is it really ...... true that we are appropriating the weapons used by the Demon King?

　When I asked him with a hint of anxiety, His Majesty broke down as if he had been waiting for the question.

''Don't worry. I have been thoroughly investigated for the presence or absence of a magical device, but surprisingly, no such device of this kind was found. Even your 'right eye' can read it if you look into it, right?

　Even though his Majesty was right and he could see that it was Demon King Gandalf's Vajra Iron (adamant) sword, it didn't look like it had any other special structure at all.

　In other words, Gandalf had used a substitute sword that was purely superior as a sword, and fought without relying on the performance of any special weapon.

　You can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of confidence, or what you should call pride, even after all this time.

　So, the remaining question is whether Garnett will like the sword or not: .......

'(That seems unlikely to be a concern.)

　With the unplucked sword that was handed to her, Garnett couldn't hold back a smile from the excitement that welled up in the pit of her stomach.

　It's a good thing that you are a knight, after all, to be presented with a famous sword that is made of special materials and has a unique anecdote, it seems that you can't help but be happy about it.

　I understand the feeling well.
　The joy should be the same for adventurers, not knights.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get your hands on the Sword of Adamant, the one wielded by the demon king, and wear it, as it will be the envy of all your peers.

'I will do my best to meet your expectations. But ...... is this sword's mithril and magic crestsmithing such a significant event that His Majesty would say so?
Hmm. The study of adamantine is less advanced than that of mithril. It's also simply a rarer metal than mithril. ......

　His Majesty Alfred nodded deeply in response to Garnett's question.

'First of all, there is no such thing as an easily observable trait in adamant, except that it exhibits extremely superior properties in the same direction as steel. This is the exact opposite of Mithril's high affinity for magic, and if you actually let the magic flow through it, you can instantly see that it is 'different from ordinary silver.'

　Me and Garnett both listened intently to His Majesty's explanation.

　I'm sure that the name of the adamant is widely known as an example of the legendary metal, but there is no better example of the adamant than mithril that you will ever see in the flesh.

　The adamantine has never been heard of any authentic story of its sale, unlike mithril, which is more or less marketable and can be found in shops, although its distribution is strictly controlled.

　Great noblemen and great temples sometimes hold adamantine objects as treasures, and whether or not their holdings are ever revealed to the public on rare occasions - the miracle of seeing an adamantine only happens when there is no such thing as a miracle for ordinary people to see it.

　In other words, even if this sword had no prior history of being used by Demon King Gandalf, it was a rare item that Garnett would be understandably pleased to see his cheeks flush like a child.

Secondly, it is extremely difficult to work, perhaps at the cost of its strength and solidity, which surpasses that of ordinary steel. Secondly, it is extremely difficult to work, perhaps at the cost of its toughness and solidity, which surpasses that of ordinary steel. The only objects dedicated to temples everywhere are the ones found in dungeons.

　In most cases, such items were donated by adventurers to the temples of their faith.

　It is not always in the form of a weapon, so it is not always useful to the adventurers themselves, and since adventurers who are able to dive into dungeons where adamantine cloaks are found are often not short on money, it is not uncommon for them to value faith and honor over profit.

'Naturally, no attempt has been made to alloy with Mithril. But if it's your skill: ......
...... or could easily be fabricated to produce an alloy of mithril and adamant. ...... So that's what you're saying.

　A shiver runs down my spine. A shiver runs down my spine.

　The king's own King Alfred has ordered him to undertake an attempt that no one has ever tried before, let alone been able to try, and he is going to attempt it.

　Moreover, the thought of Garnett wielding the completed sword will suddenly make you more motivated.

I'm impressed. I will do my part.
That's a good answer. I knew I couldn't trust you with one more artifact if you were frightened here, but I guess I was worrying too much.
One more thing: ......?
"Hmm. Luke Whitewolf, you're with me. I have something for you.

　With no small amount of agitation, I took a few steps forward and poked my knee next to Garnett.

　His Majesty Alfred took out a soft cloth-wrapped object from a luxurious desk drawer and placed its contents on my hand.

　-- to be precise, I followed His Majesty's hand to the drawer with my eyes and felt that it was something out of the ordinary from the moment I brought the desk into the view of my 'right eye'.

　An artifact that looks like a metal medallion, large enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

　I know this. I know this same thing.

This is a ...... medallion!

　Next to the shouted out loud, Garnett also rolled his eyes and revealed his surprise.

''Your Majesty!　How could you do this?　And it's not the medallion of the Fire Giant (Muspel) that we sent to King's Landing, but ...... this is just like the medallion of the Giant Wolf (Skol) that belongs to the ...... White Wolf (we)... ...!

　The only difference is that Skol's medallion kept its perfect shape, whereas this one is an imperfect shape of a medallion broken in two and forced to be glued together.

'You can still tell? That 'right eye' is a very convenient substitute.

　His Majesty smiled and sat back in his chair and urged us to get into a more comfortable position before he began to talk about the unidentified medallion.
