A Piece of Aegis is amazing, yes? But you need to show care when combining it with a weapon.

Otherwise, the weapon breaks! Ker-plink. Or becomes too powerful for its owner to wield.

There is only one Daeva who can handle a Piece of Aegis. One Daeva who can work with the blessed materials.

He is Anusis, master craftsman of Sanctum.

Of course, the skills of such a great man don't come cheaply. You'll need at least--at LEAST--8,000,000 Kinah, or else he will be unable to to combine the greatsword and the fragment.

Once upon a time, Anusis and I were friends in the Artisans Hall. We ate together, created together, even lived together for a while.

But his skill was too far beyond mine. He would get impatient, and I would get sad. This was not good, which was why I traveled so far away.

You, though. Don't let his impatience bother you. He is the best of the best. You couldn't ask for a better craftsman to work your greatsword.

What madness is this? No, no, no, no.

You can't just tie it around the hilt or let it waste away in your cube....

Well, I suppose you can. I gave it to you as I promised, and how you use it is up to you. I still think you should go to Anusis.

If you're here to ask for a donation to the upcoming fashion show, I'm not interested. How many times do I need to tell you people that?

Next fledge with no interest in a real craft that comes by...I'm going to throw bodily from my shop!

Oh, that's different then.

You are aware that combining Laestrygos's Greatsword and a Piece of Aegis requires detailed work? It's going to run you 8,000,000 Kinah in materials and labor. Up front. I'm not some fly-by-night operation here.

Come on. Hand them over.

Are you kidding me?

Fine. When you come back, remember to put the weapon in your cube. If it's equipped, I won't be able to wrestle things out of your grasp, will I?

Oh, oh, oh. This is--mmm--so glorious to work with.

I can feel the weapon and the Piece of Aegis touching my soul. And the Aegis is volatile. If Laestrygos and I hadn't been so close, even I couldn't have controlled this...this...wow.

Oh, hello. Glad you're still here, your character. The weapon is finished now, but do you mind if I hold it a moment longer? Wow.

1. Take Laestrygos's Greatsword, a Piece of Aegis, and a handiwork fee to Anusis.

   Laestrygos' Greatsword, Piece of Aegis, Kinah x8,000,000

Laestrygos gave you a Piece of Aegis and said Anusis could combine it with your greatsword to make a stronger weapon. Go to Anusis in Sanctum.

Laestrygos gave you a Piece of Aegis and told you to take it to Anusis, the master craftsman.

When you went to Anusis in Sanctum, he combined the two items to make a higher-performance piece.
