Duncan admired the mural before him and slowly said, "I heard that the Count de Arnis family has an ancestral weapon?"
Weapon?
Count de Arnis seemed to remember something, and with slight surprise said, "Do you also know about the ancient weapon 'Chain Flail'?"
"But this weapon is not usable by outsiders."
"At least it cannot unleash its true power."
Upon hearing this, Duncan smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. But it can serve as collateral."
"And bringing it out shouldn't affect your territory much."
Chain Flail of Ages.
A weapon steeped in legend, but its true fame was in the hands of the Slaughter Divine Son, where it shone brilliantly. In the hands of Count de Arnis's predecessors, it likely just smashed a few powerful Giants to death.
