"Tell me again, what do you want for her?"

"I want the Moonlight Greatsword."

Lord said as a matter of course.

After all, the Moonlight Greatsword that he had given to Lani was still in her hands, so he had to get it back.

Chapter 50: Torina is sleeping

Lienia of the Lake, Lani's Magician Tower.

The blue doll sat on the top of the tower, looking at the moonlight sword in his arms with a subtle expression.

After the pollution that caused the time and space disorder was cleared, the positions of everyone changed accordingly because the time and space disorder was repaired.

Because they are in different areas and stages, the degree and location of each person's changes are also different. For example, Lao Ma returned to the time before leaving Stoneville City, while Lani went directly back to her magic tower.

Frankly, this is a good thing.

After all, the relationships between the people present at the time were rather delicate. Although they had temporarily chosen to compromise because of the White Dragon Seamus, after the Seamus incident came to an end, who would they turn their spearheads to after losing their common enemy...

That's hard to say.

Logically speaking, now that Heath has been dealt with, the disordered time and space has been resolved, and all parties have returned to their starting points, this matter should be over now.

Lani felt the same way at first.

Until she looked down and saw the Moonlight Greatsword still in her hand, and then she fell into deep thought.

Wait a minute, is there something wrong?

During the previous battle, because of the enemy's strength and the anger brought about by her mother's possession, she was only thinking about how to get rid of the opponent and didn't think about too much else.

But now that the problem has been solved, looking back at what happened before, it seems more and more wrong.

Let’s not talk about why that fool suddenly became smart, and just talk about the moonlight in her hand.

As mentioned before, gifting the Moon Greatsword to one's partner is a tradition of the queens of Kalia.

Currently, the only family known to have the ability to forge this legendary Moon Greatsword is the Kalia Royal Family.

So where did this Moon Sword in her hand come from?

Well, even though they have met Heath, it would be difficult for ordinary people to connect the two.

After all, although Heath did study moonlight for a period of time, his main focus was still soul crystals, and moonlight was at most a by-product.

In the previous copy, he was possessed by the Full Moon Queen, or sealed in the body of the Full Moon Queen. Although some moonlight was revealed, it was basically full moon moonlight.

So Lani didn't think of this thing as Heath's.

Or, even if we take a step back and say that she knew the origin of this Moonlight Greatsword, something would still be wrong.

Well, it is a tradition for the queens of Kalia to give the Moon Greatsword to their partners.

No matter how down and out Lani is, she is still the legitimate Princess Kalia. Even now that the Full Moon Queen is mentally ill and obviously unable to rule, no one will question her if she appears and says that she is the current queen.

And now, someone stuffed a Moon Greatsword into her hand.

The key is that she accepted it.

Regardless of the origin of this moonlight, this fact alone is abstract enough.

To use an analogy, it's like putting a wedding ring on someone's finger in the middle of a battlefield full of gunfire.

While the wedding ring might have had some damage-increasing effect, and the two of them were so focused on the battle at the time that they didn't pay much attention, but now thinking back, well...

Lani didn't know what to say for a moment.

And the fighting posture at that time, although I just wanted to use that guy as a shield for myself, and the facts proved that the effect was indeed quite good, but...

In short, the more Lani thought about it, the more silent she became.

Then, after an unknown amount of time of silence, accompanied by the sound of approaching horse hooves, Lani saw the idiot again.

"Well, Moonlight Greatsword..."

Lord looked at the moonlight greatsword in Lani's arms.

Lani was silent for a moment, then—

The hug tightened.

"You told me that before."

Lani raised her head and looked at him, speaking calmly.

"Why, do you regret it?"

"Oh, no, that wasn't the case..."

Looking at Lord who was in distress as he was thinking about how to explain to her, Lani burst out laughing.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had laughed so happily.

After being tortured by him for so long, she finally got back on track.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I know you just want to lend it to me."

Lani didn't want to lose this potential ally—or rather, this existing ally—because of such a small matter.

But then she changed the subject.

"But I want to keep this sword with me for now. You've seen it before, and it really fits my current body, and I just happen to be in need of a weapon like this."

"Besides that, the moonlight flowing on this sword is also somewhat unusual. I'd like to study it a bit."

Lord had no objection to Lani wanting to keep the Moonlight Greatsword. After all, according to tradition, this kind of equipment that was given away would definitely return to the owner after the side quest was completed.

The only difference is whether the person returns it to you voluntarily or you pick it up from a corpse.

As for studying moonlight...⑸

"Well, the moonlight on that sword might be a little dangerous. I'll leave it to you, but you'd better not do any research on it..."

"I know my limits."

Lani nodded and said frankly:

"And even if I really encounter any danger, I will call you."

Lord was stunned: "Why are you calling me? I haven't studied moonlight before."

Lani looked at him and spoke slowly, "If there's a problem with the Moonlight Greatsword you gave me, isn't it normal for me to come to you?"

"Oh, no, your logic..."

Lord was about to retort, but suddenly realized that this didn't seem so bad.

After all, if the NPC can find you directly, then you don’t have to worry about missing any points when exploring the map and missing any side quests.

So, after a moment of thought, Lord changed his attitude and nodded directly.

"That's okay too."

Lani was stunned.

This guy actually agreed?

After a moment of silence, she held the Moonlight Greatsword in her arms and spoke slowly.

"So where are you going next?"

"I'm going to the academy."

Lord did not hide it either.

"After all, I still need a Great Rune to enter the Royal City. Now that time and space have been corrected, I must go and take a look."

"Big Rune..."

Lani thought about it.

"Then I'll go with you."

Because when I'm with this person, I don't have to worry about the loss of my soul. Besides, although I left a clone with my mother, I'm still a little worried, so it's a good time to go over and take a look.

Lord certainly did not refuse.

After all, according to Baizhi, the Great Rune is now in the hands of the Full Moon Queen, and Lani is the daughter of the Full Moon Queen. They seemed to have a good relationship in the previous dungeon. If she accompanies them, it might save a lot of trouble.

Then, after confirming the direction of the Moonlight Greatsword and the subsequent plan, Lord was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"So, do you know anything about the Moon Greatsword? Not the one you have in your hand now, but some other one..."

silence.

"do not know."

Lani looked away.

Lord raised an eyebrow.

"really do not know?"

"I said I don't know. I just don't know."

It was obvious that even Lord now could see that the other party must know the news, but just didn't intend to tell him.

But he didn't worry too much about it. According to tradition, the Moonlight Greatsword was usually located in the later period.

At the moment, he has only opened three maps, and the side quest here has just started, so it is normal that he cannot get the Moonlight Greatsword.

But he felt that Lani's behavior was a little strange.

If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. Why are you angry?

Not to mention that he had left the moonlight for her, and he asked her if she had any news, but with this attitude, someone who didn't know would have thought he was asking her for a token of love...

Soon, Lani realized her own gaffe.

It is obvious from what he said that he is not aware of the royal traditions of Kalia.

The reason why he was inquiring about the Moon Greatsword was probably because he had heard somewhere that the Moon Greatsword was a powerful weapon, just like the one in his hand, so he wanted it.

Should I explain to him the meaning behind this?

In just a moment, Lani suppressed this horrible thought.

Even without mentioning the embarrassment of her as the Princess of the Moon explaining this tradition to Lord, let's just talk about Lord's ability to understand.

To be honest, she would rather fight Heath ten more times than explain anything to Lord.

In order to avoid going deeper into this dangerous topic and to cover up her previous gaffe and embarrassment, Lani paused for a moment before speaking again.

"For some reason, I cannot reveal information about the Moon Greatsword to you."

"But you've helped me a lot before, and now you've left the Moonlight Greatsword with me. So, it's only logical that I should give you some compensation."

"But right now, you've seen my current state. I don't have anything particularly impressive to offer, so I can only give you these for now."
