Elder Blood Witcher 115 A Giant Acquaintance

He grips Priscilla's hand who's awed by this wondrous feat of architecture and pulls her up the stairs, he follows the path around the top path overlooking the rest of the hall and proceeds down a doorway on the left, they walk down it and eventually start hearing a metallic tapping. Priscilla doesn't know what this sound is but Reima distinctly remembers the Giant blacksmith using an almost comically small hammer to craft items with. They enter a room and see a huge almost green skinned man leaning over a small forge and tapping at a piece of metal, he notices them and asks in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Giant blacksmith "Who are you? Forge your weapons?"

Priscilla manages to come to her senses before him and introduces herself, "Greetings large one, I am Priscilla. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

The giant nods his head at her polite greeting, "hmmmhh, want forge? I can, am strong."

Reima steps forward, "Actually, can you tell me what makes this weapon so durable?" He hands the giant the silver straight sword, being entirely made of silver and being so strong makes him question his knowledge of the metal.

The Giant gently takes the sword from his grasp and glances over it... He hands it back, probably because he's the one who crafted all the weapons and armour of the silver knights. "Silv'a n t.i.tat.i.te, very good, strong." he gets straight back to hammer a small piece of black metal.

Ah, so it's a mix of silver and t.i.tanite then? Reima remembers that the Giant actually sells twinkling t.i.tanite and decides to fully upgrade the silver straight sword and start using it... Hopefully he can get the giant to create or modify a sheath to fit comfortably on his back.

Reima "Can you improve this weapon as much as possible?" He hands the sword back along with some twinkling t.i.tanite, the Giant nods, "Need more t.i.tat.i.te, have. Want buy?" Reima agrees and the Giant sets to work, Reima will get it enchanted with divine once he acquires the ember from the forest... He will leave it until he needs to descend into grave lord Nito's domain though. He looks to Priscilla, "Do you want your weapon upgraded as well?"

She shakes her head, "Brother gaveth me this weapon, said it's already the best it can be."

The duo spend some time conversing with each other while having the Giant give advice about the various things they wish to have upgraded. After having the Giant create another sheath for his new silver sword he gets him to max out Arcell as well, he decides to not enchant it with anything. Any enchantment would make him unable to cast and spell enhancements on it in future, he also asks about whether or not it's possible to upgrade his Witcher armour. The Giant glanced over it and stated that it'd need some demon t.i.tanite and a couple slabs to actually make it usable, Reima is confused at this huge price and asks why, the Giant says that it'd have to completely remake the armour due to the standard steel it's made from being too weak... Hah, to think standard steel is too weak in this world. On another hand, it is very impressed by his Gleam cloak and asks to examine it, he agrees and the jubilant giant almost vibrates off of his seat in excitement. It hums contendedly while testing the flexibility, durability and elasticity of the rippling material, he eventually hands it back, "Weird, not like metal, not like cloth... Not like anything. Can have material?" Reima gets what he's asking and hands him a small amount of Essence, not enough to get addicted to but enough to test on.

A wave of emotion hits Reima who's immediately hugged with one hand by the giant, who knew it would be so excited to test a different material... It seems to think for a moment before opening the chest behind it, it sticks it's hand inside and presents something small to Reima... A ring? Hawks ring.

Reima knows the origins of this ring and tries to refuse it, "I can't accept this, isn't it a sort of heirloom?" The giant continues to push the ring towards him, "Friend, take." Eventually Reima is forced to accept the ring from the over eager giant... He looks at it for a moment before storing it, he'll have to test out it's enchantments later, right now he's on a mission... Although he has been sidetracked a rather large amount so far. He checks his equipment, the max upgraded Arcell which makes him feel anxious at the sharpness of it's edge, new silver sword sheathed on his back. The sheath that the giant had made is black and reinforced with t.i.tanite preventing most things from damaging it. They thank the jolly green giant before heading back to the huge hall, where they will have to fight Orstein and Smough.
