Chapter 109: Prize (2)
"Atlas Shorekeeper. The first-place finisher will receive a short course of study in a skill from me or any other Sage. However, as your personal teacher, I will change this prize. Tell me, what would you like from me?"
This was a very different reward than many expected.
Atlas scratched his head as if he had come to himself when he heard these words, then smiled for a few seconds and said, "I don’t think I need anything." Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "You can gift my sister a sword."
Not only Cordelia, but everyone around them couldn’t help but be surprised after hearing those words. Of all the things he could ask of a Sage, wishing for a sword as a gift for his older sister was hilarious.
Still, a prize was a prize, and it had to be what Atlas wanted.
Cordelia turned round and then beckoned Eva to join her, pointing a finger at her.
Eva jumped off the dais with a puzzled look and came to the centre of the coliseum right in front of Cordelia, first looking at Atlas with puzzled eyes and then turning to Cordelia and getting down on one knee in front of her.
Cordelia immediately reached to her right, her hand reaching into a slot, just as Atlas had done when he had tried to retrieve something from his inventory, and then pulled out a sword that matched Eva’s length. Immediately after that, the ancient woman began to explain:
"When I rescued Constantine from his tormenting family almost a million years ago, I caused his grandfather a great deal of pain, and his grandfather gave me a tooth as an apology. This sword I hold in my hand is made from that tooth."
