Arno seemed very interested. He paused, then added:
"I might be able to strengthen it for you."
Chen Lun raised an eyebrow, then understood. Since Arno was a Higher Being of the Sun Sequence, he naturally had the ability to forge supernatural objects.
"Of course. No problem."
He stepped forward, held the Silver Cane horizontally, and offered it with both hands.
As Arno took the cane, his gaze fell on Chen Lun's right hand-or, more precisely, the old-fashioned brown glove he wore on it.
"This glove... feels very familiar."
Confusion appeared in Arno's eyes.
After a moment's thought, Chen Lun simply removed the glove as well and handed it over.
Arno sat down with the Silver Cane and glove in his arms, studying them carefully with a thoughtful expression.
A long while passed.
"This glove... seems to have been made by Uncle Martin. But he was very dissatisfied with this Mysterious Object back then and casually tossed it to the Church. Why do you have it?"
Arno spoke.
"Uncle Martin?"
Chen Lun's gaze sharpened.
He remembered Maggie mentioning that Martin Augustus was the former pontiff of the Sun Church. Since Arno called him "Uncle," he presumably had close ties to the Sun Church.
"Ha... I have no recollection. I can't remember."
Arno frowned and scratched his head.
In the end.
He handed the glove back to Chen Lun, deciding not to dwell on it any longer.
Chen Lun regretted not being able to learn more from Arno, but could only put [Fireworks in the Palm] back on his right hand.
At the same time, he took out the two high-grade Transcendent Materials, [Fairy Heart] and [Didak Heart Membrane], handed them to Arno, and asked:
"Arno, would these materials be useful?"
"Oh?"
Arno looked somewhat surprised after accepting the two materials.
