"Master…" Though he was inwardly glad to find out that his conclusion had turned out to be correct, Valyr still had a visceral reaction to his spear's words, slightly shuddering for a brief mont as a bitter smile appeared on his face. "That definitely isn't sothing I could get used to so easily."
"In any case, I guess this is the first ti we've properly talked with one another." Deciding to leave the matter of how he was called be for now, Valyr began to walk once more, continuing to make his way in the direction of the restaurant he had in mind as he moved what he considered to be a long conversation with his spear to his mind. "You can hear my thoughts, right?"
"I can, Master." A soft voice resounded in his mind in response. "I also find it delightful that I am finally able to talk you, Master. After all, you're the one who has made the way I currently am."
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "For so reason, I can't help but feel like you're blaming , even though the emotions I'm sensing you say otherwise." Valyr inwardly chuckled in response to his spear's words. "Anyways, you don't mind if I ask you a few questions, right?"
"That would not be a bother at all, Master." Feeling as if the spear had shook its head in response to his question, Valyr faintly nodded as a response to the answer, stopping for a bit to reorient himself to where the restaurant was before returning his attention back to the conversation he was having.
"Alright," said Valyr. "Before I begin, do you have a na you ca up with that you would like to call you or sothing?"
"I do not," answered the spear in response, giving Valyr the feeling that it had shaken its head. "If Master has a na that he would like to give to , then I would gladly accept it."
"I'm not really that good with nas, but let see what I can co up with." Feeling a wry smile creep up on his face as he responded to his spear's words, Valyr continued to walk along the streets of Algerie City as he pondered over a suitable na for it. By the ti he had arrived in front of the restaurant, which was still fortunately open at this hour of the night, he had co up with a na for the spear, seating himself and having his order taken first before proceeding to continue his conversation.
"Hmm… since your color is a darker shade of blood red, I've been thinking about words that have relation to the word 'blood'," Valyr said to his spear. "In the end, I've thought about naming you Sanguine, or Sana in short since you first responded to my words after I suggested upgrading you with Sanguine Mithril. Then again… are you fine with that kind of na?"
"Sanguine…" the spear, whose na was now Sana, muttered the word a few tis as its voice resounded in Valyr's mind for a while. After so ti, a feeling of delight radiated from the spear as Sana replied to his question not long after.
"How could I turn down such a beautiful na, Master?"
Ding!
[Your weapon 'Spear of the Prodigious Tidemother' has now changed its na to 'Sanguine, Spear of the Prodigious Tidemother'.]
"Well, I'm happy that you find it beautiful." Taking a look at the notification he had just received from the system, which caused a faint smile to appear on his face for a brief mont, Valyr went ahead and asked Sana the question that had been lingering in his mind even before he had proven his conclusion to be true.
"Your na aside, mind telling why you told to choose another tal to use for your upgrade?"
"That would be due to the fact that the material you suggested would be incompatible with , Master." Hearing these words from Sana, Valyr went silent for a bit as he allowed the spear to explain itself. Concurrently, the al he had ordered had finally been served, allowing him to start eating as he listened to the spear's explanation.
"Although Sanguine Mithril would be a great material for upgrading equipnt related to blood, the type of blood that I have absorbed has a different property when compared to the blood Sanguine Mithril is leaning towards," explained Sana to him. "To be more exact, the Lesser Tidemother Blood you've made absorb is considered cold-type blood, while Sanguine Mithril improves anything that involves hot-type blood."
"Should I use sothing else like Frigid Crimson Essence to upgrade you, then?" asked Valyr after Sana was done explaining, his body gradually relaxing the more food he ate. "Or would it be better to give you sothing like Refined Cold Bloodsteel?"
"Both of them would definitely upgrade my capabilities to the next level, but neither of them would be sothing I'd consider as the best path to take." Hearing Sana's response to his suggestions of other materials, Valyr briefly raised his eyebrow in curiosity as he allowed his spear to talk once more, finding it sowhat refreshing.
"Compared to the items you just ntioned, there's one item that would allow to obtain the best possible upgrade, Master. In fact, that item cos from a source that you have no problem in dealing with." At these words, Valyr had a hint of confusion on his face as he wondered what his spear ant by that. Though, with the help of his currently enhanced ntal capabilities, it did not take long for him to put two and two together and realize what Sana ant.
"How could I forget about the Tidemother…" Slapping himself on the forehead as he briefly shook his head, Valyr let out a faint sigh as he swiftly finished the remainder of his al before proceeding to make his way back to the inn.
"You're talking about the Tidemother, right?"
"I am, Master," Sana replied. "To be more specific, fortifying the material that makes up my entire body with parts from the Lesser Tidemother would be enough for to upgrade to the next level."
"And after that?"
"I'm sure Master has already thought about that. Naturally, the blood and the parts of a Greater Tidemother would allow to improve even further."
"It feels like I'm upgrading the Half Wyvern Armor all over again." Finding the upgrade materials of both his weapon and his armor set similar in the way that they both utilize parts from strong creatures, Valyr let out a brief chuckle as he found the thought amusing. "In any case, I find that a great relief."
"I'll be heading back to Astarto Village to help the village defend against the monster tide, after all." In response to the words that Valyr said to Sana, the latter radiated a feeling of expectation and delight. Though, not long after, these feelings were swiftly replaced with contemplation as Sana's creator asked the spear a question.
"Now that I think about it, it's quite odd," Valyr said to Sana through his mind. "The level of our bond is currently at Level 2, yet we're already talking with one another, which is only sothing that could be done once our bond has reached Level 3."
"With that in mind, how are you talking to right now?"
"To be honest, I don't know the answer to that question either, Master." Responding to Valyr's question, Sana radiated a bit of a glum feeling towards its creator. "However, if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that there's sothing within your mories that prompted to wake up and be able to converse with you, Master."
"What mory?" Confused, Valyr went ahead and asked Sana as to what mory it was pertaining to, only for the expression on his face to beco solemn as the latter responded not long after.
"The specific details of the various mories are quite hazy, but I'm certain that they ntion the sa thing."
"Sothing about the Age of the Grand Tide…"
