The Kaslana Family Legacy

Judging from their clothes, these two are clearly from wealthy families. Whether I can afford to eat this month depends on this bet.

If I can't get food soon, I might really have to pack up and go back to my hometown...

Thinking of this, the girl's smile widened.

"Um... we..."

Just as Otto was about to explain his purpose, he suddenly heard a "crack" sound from the side.

Otto's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly turned his head.

Kallen, standing beside him, was staring blankly, holding the hilt of a sword in one hand and the blade in the other.

Hmm... it's broken.

"Um, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to try it out..." Kallen realized she had done something wrong, and looked at the broken sword in her hand with a stiff expression.

Are you trying to cause trouble if you don't eat?

Otto cautiously observed the expression on the black-haired girl's face.

"Hey, I'll buy this sword. Is this enough?"

Otto observed as he reached for his money.

Otto is now quite adept at wiping Kallen's bottom and such.

"... No, there's no need."

The girl forced a smile as she pushed the money Otto handed her away.

"If a customer breaks a sword I forged myself, it only proves that I am an unqualified swordsmith..."

No, you should know this is Kaslana, the famous family of superhuman strength.

Otto said silently to himself.

Let alone an ordinary knight's sword, even a proper greatsword, Kallen could break it if she wanted to.

"If I'm not mistaken, the guests are from the Kaslana family, right?"

The girl showed a defiant expression, and at the same time, she realized Kallen's background—which was not surprising, since the other party knew Francis, the head of the Kaslana family.

However, this only made Kallen more embarrassed, as it made her feel like she had been caught doing something wrong.

"Then these swords outside are probably not worthy of you, sir... Please wait a moment."

The girl said this stiffly, then went inside. A short while later, the other person came out holding a knife.

(Honkai Beast?!)

The moment Imaginary Archive saw the long sword in the other's hand through Otto's vision, he was immediately surprised.

(Don't tell me this girl can actually turn parts of Honkai Beast into weapons using such primitive equipment??)

Blacksmith's furnace, bellows, hand hammer, anvil, sledgehammer, whetstone.

They are completely unremarkable; you could find these tools in any blacksmith shop.

These things... can be used to turn parts of Honkai Beast's body into weapons?

Thank God, the archives of the Previous Era have no record of how such a high-tech weapon was created using such primitive tools.

Yes, that's right. Although it's just a long sword, in the eyes of Imaginary Archive, it's a genuine "high-tech weapon".

The things that can actually break through the defenses of a Honkai Beast.

"Please take a look at this precious sword that I, Osafune Nagamitsu, spent a month forging—the Demon Knight Cutter, Nagatsugu."

The black-haired girl, Osafune Nagamitsu, looked at Kallen with a challenging expression.

(It took a month...? Believe me, in some ways, this guy's weapon technology is at least five hundred years ahead of yours...)

Imaginary Archive is convinced that this world may not be very scientific anymore.

Why would someone like this appear, using primitive tools to manually create this Honkai weapon?

After a month of work, Imaginary Archive had reason to be certain that this guy had definitely not created this kind of weapon for the first time.

(Not surprising, isn't it? Schicksal seems to have something similar?) Otto was quite surprised by this assessment of the Imaginary Archive.

(Heh... It's not that I look down on you Schicksal, but your Schicksal's similar weapons will definitely bring a lot of corrosion—like a child wielding a uranium sword to kill people—okay, you don't know what uranium is.)

Otto felt that his intelligence was being looked down upon by the Imaginary Archive.

This way of speaking is utterly inferior to that of Lord God.

If it were Lord God, they would definitely give her a detailed and patient explanation.

(Furthermore, the knife in her hand has been minimized in its harm to people; even an ordinary person could hold it for a long time without endangering their life, but its power has not been weakened much.)

Not only Imaginary Archive, but even Kallen, who is usually slow-witted, realized that the sword in front of her was extraordinary.

"This..."

"Miss, please try the knife." Osafune Nagamitsu continued to hand over the long knife.

She'll see just how monstrous the Kaslana family's strength really is!

"... It's taller than me," Kallen said weakly, looking at the longsword in front of her.

This knife, including the handle, is already over two meters long!

She's only 1.6 meters tall!

At fourteen years old and 1.6 meters tall, she's already considered tall among her peers, but compared to this knife, she still looks like a little dwarf, doesn't she?

"..."

Osafune Nagamitsu had been looking serious, seemed to have not expected to receive this answer and was immediately embarrassed.

So the other person is only fourteen years old... I really can't tell.

Fortunately, Otto had high emotional intelligence and immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Um... Miss Osafune Nagamitsu, we were introduced by Uncle Francis."

"Francis?"

Nagatsugu would also take the opportunity to back down, casually putting down his long sword and showing a puzzled expression.

Look how high this eleven or twelve-year-old girl's emotional intelligence is!

"This is a letter of introduction." Otto handed over the letter. "My name is Otto Apocalypse, and this is Kallen Kaslana."

"Um... Francis's youngest daughter? No wonder."

Nagatsugu nodded knowingly, then took the letter and glanced at it.

A moment later, Nagatsugu looked at Otto with a strange expression.

"... Francis said you really enjoy craftsmanship?"

"Yes." Otto nodded.

"You've created a super bomb?"

Otto continued to nod.

"Are you not valued at home?"

Otto continued to nod.

After three questions, Nagatsugu's previously indifferent expression instantly became enthusiastic, and he even seemed to feel as if they had known each other for a long time.

It's so similar; it's almost exactly like her childhood experiences.

Nagatsugu was filled with mixed feelings.

She was not valued by her family because she was a woman when she was young, and it was not until she grew up that this prejudice was reversed.

However, this is still good for me, after all, my family is a family of blacksmiths, and no one will say anything if a girl is blacksmithing.

But the person in front of me... comes from Apocalypse, the famous "bishop" family.

It's easy to imagine how much more contempt he would receive than he would receive...

A true friend!

"Miss Otto! How about we become sworn sisters?"

"Eh??"

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now... It's rare to meet someone whose experience is so similar to mine, Miss Otto, please forgive me." Nagatsugu said to Otto with an apologetic expression.

"...fine."

The group then arrived at the tea room behind the shop, which was much cleaner than the outside.

"I was just a little startled... By the way, Miss Nagatsugu, how did you end up in Vienna?"

"Well... I was traveling the world in search of forging techniques, and that's how I ended up here."

Nagatsugu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"However, I'm also preparing to go home these days. I've learned almost all the forging techniques in the world. Here, your Schicksal is too strict, so I have no chance to get the corpses of Honkai Beast... that is, Honkai Beasts. On the contrary, back home, there are all kinds of great demonic beasts like Ushi-oni and Koto-ni. Maybe I'll have a chance to use them to test what I've learned."

(This kind of talent absolutely cannot be let go!) Imaginary Archive cried out in Otto mind.

"But we're still saving up for travel expenses..." Nagatsugu said somewhat awkwardly. "However, based on the turnover these days, it will probably take more than two months to save up... These two months should be enough for us to exchange ideas."

"No, no, no, I don't think it's enough."

Liu Bai's voice rang out in the air.

In order to retain the future director of the St. 1504 Institute, Liu Bai decided to take matters into his own hands.

"My Lord God?" Otto seemed surprised that Liu Bai would suddenly speak up.

Nagatsugu was also taken aback when he heard Otto address him as "a god?"

The next moment, the Nagatsugu sword "Demon Knight Cutter - Nagatsugu" that Nagamitsu had placed at his feet floated up.

This made Nagatsugu himself rub his eyes.

Did his own knife float up?

Did I get dizzy from striking the iron?

"Even if you rub it a lot, it won't fall off."

Liu Bai looked at Nagatsugu, who was rubbing his eyes, and was speechless.

"Is... is it really Lord God?"

After confirming his suspicions, Nagatsugu immediately put his hands together in prayer, revealing a look of reverence.

"Please forgive my blindness... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"..."

Um... why did he feel that Nagatsugu, as a swordsmith, was much more devout to the gods than Otto and Kallen, who came from religious families?

Chapter 247 The Legacy of the Kaslana Family

Osafune Nagamitsu.

The first director of the Schicksal St. 1504 Institute, a peerless master swordsmith—although some of his works bear the name of swords but are not actually swords—his talent still ensured that the name of Nagatsugu would be passed down through generations along with his position as director.

Five hundred years later, when Elizabeth McSmith was the seventeenth generation, the St. 1504 Institute was also Schicksal's largest weapons research department.

However, right now, this first-generation master swordsmith, who is not yet closely connected to Schicksal, is... hugging his sword and grinning foolishly.

"Hehehe... Divine Blade... Divine Blade..."

"..." Otto sighed.

Although Imaginary Archive praised this person to the skies, something seemed a little off about him.

(Do you think your family members consider you a normal person?)

Imaginary Archive's attack directly broke Otto's defense and silenced him.

That's true, the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, so neither of us should criticize the other in this regard.
