Karl thought about what he would add to the weapon.
"Alright, I have an idea. I can give the weapon a collection of enchantments suitable for a fire element berserker. If you could leave your contact information, I will send a runner when the weapon is ready." Karl agreed.
The man nodded. "I will know when it is complete."
Then he set a bag on the counter and vanished, using a teleportation ability that left behind flickering red flames.
Davis turned to Karl. "It seems that we are being tested by all the powers of the region. Drodh City is known for its Demonic Fleet, and their combination of Unholy and Water Magic. But that sort of flame should be Phoenix Flames.
Not only that, but I have no idea what is in the bag. It’s enchanted to a level that I can’t see through with my appraisal skills. An anti-theft container."
Karl picked up the bag and looked inside. It was full of fire element gems, bits of stone, and a small branch that radiated intense heat.
[YOINK!] Cara cheered as the branch vanished from the bag.
She juggled it between her hands for a moment, as it really was hot, and then carefully planted it in the centre of an open area in her space.
The plant immediately took root, becoming more vibrant, and a second leaf began to form on the small sprig.
Cara lay on her side, letting the radiated heat warm her belly fur.
[Oh yeah, that’s the good stuff.]
Outside, Hawk simply stared at his shameless sister in amazement. Should he not have first dibs on fire element treasures? Was he not a giant flaming bird, while she was a Void Element Badger?
Whatever. Once it grew out a bit, he would shame her into cutting a sprig for him to plant.
But the gems in the bag were immeasurably valuable on their own. They were all Totem and Overlord Rank fire element treasures, worth thousands of times more than the work that the strange flame lover had requested.
Karl considered what he would put on this work. He had planned something simple for the man to upgrade on his own. But if he was paying this much, how could Karl give him a couple of strength enchantments and call it a day?
Plus, the weapon was huge. There was a lot of room for Runes to be added, and it would certainly be able to handle the power.
"Call me if someone needs me. I will be on the second floor writing a plan." Karl informed Davis, then grunted a little as he picked up the sword.
The blade weighed close to two tonnes, far more than it looked like it should, even at that size.
But if the user was intended to be able to swing this blade, Karl had a great idea.
If he combined Runes for damage increase with inertia increase, and inertia transfer, in the form of [Shatter], it would be equivalent to hitting someone with a bus. A sharp-edged bus.
Whatever was swinging this had to be huge already, to be using a five-metre-long blade. So Brutality was out. It would make them too large to fight conveniently. However, [Terrorize] would be great.
[Terrorize] improves damage done by the target by 10 percent per Rank of the User.
Add the runes for increased speed and agility to that, and he had a long string of runes that all merged smoothly into a single compound rune.
