"The contract is now valid." The Sword Saint smiled. "Try to wonder about Ardagan's secret."

"Mhm?" Anna was confused for a moment and tried to form a thought about Ardagan, but she suddenly felt an extreme pain jolting her brain. She instinctively clutched her head and fell to her knees. "Kh. What is this?"

"You don't know about it? But from your knowledge, it seems that he passed down the secret for Enchantment, which is perfect for blacksmith.
