4 scenes, 96 lines
1. There's a familiar figure outside Sanctuary...
2 linesHey.
Hey, you! Yes, you! The kid over there.
2. Find out who just greeted you
29 lines
Who is it?
A girl who looks just like... Snow?
...
Who are you calling "girl"? The younger generation nowadays is so disrespectful.
You should watch what you say! Although all Lunarians look young, she's actually as old as your great-great-grandmother.
(The young "girl" with a hammer had a similar voice and appearance as Snow, but their age and experiences were completely different. Lunos are indeed peculiar.)
Very well. I'll let it slide this time.
You! Hmph!
Never mind, arguing with a youngster isn't worth my time.
Actually, I caught a whiff of something remarkable as you passed by just now.
That's right. It's the scent of a legendary weapon! Do you have any special weapons on you, kiddo?
Weapon? This sword is all I have.
!!!
(She carefully examined the sword, attempting to glean some information from its pattern.)
Amazing! That's incredible! Look at the texture and the craftsmanship! This clearly wasn't made by those mediocre Hyperborean blacksmiths. Where did you get it?
(The Luno blacksmith recognised that this sword was no ordinary weapon.)
I'm not sure...
This sword has been with me for as long as I can remember. Maybe it was passed down to me by my parents?
Intriguing. Very intriguing. I've been a blacksmith my whole life, yet I've never seen a weapon like this before.
Kiddo, I'm Lunosmith, a wandering blacksmith. Would you mind if I accompanied you on your journey?
I've travelled all over the land, from Hyperborea to Elysium, and I've forged countless weapons. If you require any weapons, I'm at your disposal.
Wow! So you're an experienced master blacksmith!
All I request is a basic salary, and an opportunity to examine your sword, hehe.
Look, I can see scepticism written on your face.
You can trust me. You must know the saying, "Lunos never harm." Everyone in Atlasia knows that.
Yes, exactly!
(She was right. You could see that trait in Snow. Besides, what could she get from you? You have nothing to offer.)
Yeah, you're right. Let's head back together then.
So you'll have me? Excellent! Then take me to where you live.
3. Craft a vial of Sal Volatile at Lunosmith's
36 linesAwesome! You're truly amazing!
I've seen many who resemble you and Snow. Are they also Lunos?
Did you come from a remote village or something, kiddo?
Yes, my hometown isn't a big city.
Ha, that explains it. In all my travels, wherever there are humans, Lunos can always be found. It's quite uncommon to come across someone like you who's never heard of us.
We share a similar appearance. Everyone is as attractive as me. And we live very long lives.
Like the master blacksmith, every Luno has a particular forte.
Wow. Then do you have any unique talents, Snow?
Hmm... Yeah... Of course, I do!
As you can see, I have demonic appendages on my head. No other Lunos have these!
Indeed. In all my years, I've never seen a Luno with horns like those. You look just like those human Charons.
Sooooo, I'm Luno the Demon King, different and unique! Perhaps I was meant to lead the Lunos and dominate the world!
Oh... that's quite the ambition.
Unfortunately, most Lunos lack ambition. They'd rather follow the humans, and are content with just a few words of appreciation. But for me, I want so much more!
My little minion, you must stick with me. After I conquer the world, you'll be the leader of my legion! Just you wait and see!
Hmm... How about 20 letters of praise written by this Demon King? Anyway, we can talk about the details when the time comes. All you need to know is that I'll never let you down.
Hehe... Hehehe...
(Wow, so unique and different from other Lunos...)
Awesome! You're truly amazing!
