Carnwenhan or mostly known for the name Carnwennan is a black dagger with a shape similar to a beast fang and is one of the weapons that King Arthur possesses and part of his legacy quest rewards. I searched this thing before and it indeed exists in the real world's Arthurian legends too. However, compared to the legendary Excalibur, not much is known for the Carnwennan. I am not part of the players who managed to finish the legacy quest in the past timeline but I have heard that this quest is a large-scale quest that needed multiple guilds just to finish it. Of course, it is also one of the quests that have the biggest returns since after the quest was finished, all of the players who participated has become quite a big shot and even those who didn't have much work in the quest managed to get some benefits.

However, I am not that interested in the past timeline's achievements. What I am more interested in is the piece of Carnwennan that Queen Tori handed to me.

"I heard about King Arthur's weapons before and it was always considered as a relic of some sort but what is making these things special? Is there any sort of explanation why?

" I looked at Queen Tori.

"I don't have much extensive knowledge about the weapons that King Arthur wielded before too and the only weapon that seems to have the most info known is the Excalibur. However, I know a bit about the Carnwennan. It's not really something I personally witnessed but according to the stories, this weapon has the ability to clad the user to the shadows and cuts all of the evil-doers in half. When King Arthur used it in the past, it was said that he cut down the demons during his infiltration in a town filled with demons and killed most of them without being seen. Well, that was the legends say.

"

"A weapon that can clad its user to the shadows... so this weapon is a dagger specialized for assassinations.

"

"I don't even know if it is accurate. Just look at its current state. It's not even the whole blade anymore, it has been damaged to the point you will not be able to know this was once the legendary Carnwennan.

"

Indeed, if you just look at it, it just looks like the usual blade most daggers have. You wouldn't even think about it to be the blade of the legendary dagger that King Arthur once wielded. It just never looked the same.

"

"So what is this thing that Queen Tanya wants me some help with? If it was forging the Carnwennan back to its former form, I am afraid my blacksmith level is too low to even do that. I don't think I can help you with it.

"

"Eh? You are a blacksmith?

" Queen Tori looked at me with interest.

"Ah yeah. But my level is not that high yet and the highest quality I can make at the moment is Unique level though it is not a high possibility and it is around 1 unique level part out 1000 tries.

"

"I know that you are a blacksmith but I didn't expect this. Wow, that is very impressive, Bladeheart. What is your level as a Blacksmith by the way?

" Queen Tanya seems to be also interested.

"Level 29 a few more forging, and I might hit level 30 soon.

"

"That high already? I thought you can only create Unique level weapons at level 50 and above in blacksmithing. Am I wrong about it?

" Queen Tanya is not much knowledgeable in blacksmithing.

"Yes and No, dear sister. You can still create those tiers but you needed to be lucky enough to do so. But it's not impossible to create one. Some of my trainee blacksmiths have produced the same quality in the past despite being low level so I am not surprised. But even though your level of expertise in blacksmithing is very high, it's not what I needed help with as I can just ask my blacksmiths in my kingdom to do the bidding. What I needed is firepower and the ability to dive through dangers. Queen Tanya brags things most of the time to me about your expertise and your achievements and perhaps you might be the one who can help,

" Queen Tori explained.

"I am not confident I meet the expectations but I am confident in my skills. Please tell me what to do.

"

"Alright, since we found some traces of King Arthur's legacy in the dungeons, we continue to dwell deeper. That is when we found what King Arthur left behind. He left his legacy ripe for the taking and left a diary on how to get it.

"

"Are you sure that it was King Arthur's diary?

" I asked.

"Yes. We have some experts in this job and we have some items that King Arthur has written things with allowing us to have something to use to compare his handwriting. We have fully confirmed it was his handwriting in the end. And based on the diary, he is going to be leaving his relics to prepare for the cataclysm that will hit the world soon.

"

I was shaken for a bit when I heard the word

"Cataclysm

" in the diary. Indeed, it is one part of the biggest events in the Alternate World. In one single week, darkness will blanket the whole world and the monsters will start raiding the cities and towns. It was an inevitable event and if I remember correctly, a few days after the King Arthur quest that I mentioned earlier was finished, the Cataclysm occurred and the people who managed to become the stars of the show are none other than the people who possess the relics of King Arthur.

I don't know what is happening but to have the Cataclysm occurring much sooner than expected, is not a good way to happen.

"Bladeheart, we need all the help that we can get. That is why I am asking for your help. Are you willing to accept the quest of finding his relics?

"

Then, a quest pops out in front of me.

King Arthur's Legacy

Difficulty: EX Tier

Type: Legacy Quest

Info: Queen Tori has discovered a few traces of King Arthur in one of the ruins her group has explored and was now tasked to find the treasure left behind by King Arthur to fend off from the upcoming Cataclysm. Depending on your result, the rewards will vary.

Time limit: 6 months

(Warning: This quest is very long. It is recommended to clear the chains of quests one step at a time due to their difficulty and length. It is also recommended to form a group of players to clear the quest for much easier clearance.)

Will you accept the Quest?

Yes

/No

....

This is the first time I have encountered an EX Tier quest in my entire life including the past life. Yes, I am not kidding, this is a very difficult quest due to the EX tier label. I heard this on the forums before and some of the players mentioned the EX tier quests and how it was a literal nightmare. According to their comparison, the EX-tier quest is like defending a horde of zombies all day long with a dull knife on your hands and nothing else.

I don't know if they are exaggerating about it but I do not underestimate them at all. But if the difficulty is this high, that only means the rewards are also astronomical.

There is no need to hesitate, I will accept it and I click yes.

"Alright. Now, this quest doesn't need to be completed immediately. If you want, you can start gearing yourself up. This quest is pretty dangerous and I don't want anyone to die in the process. Also, if you have some friends who are willing to help, you can share the quest with them. The more they are, the better we will be able to finish the quest with flying colors.

"

After our conversation, the two queens went inside to continue their talks while I was left behind to ponder on what to do next. The quest takes a long time to complete and I have a time limit of 6 months. With that long time limit, it was clear the quest is not something I can complete in one week or one month. It's a high-risk high reward quest that is much more troublesome and dangerous than raids.

Perhaps the reason it will take this long is because this will allow us to explore the entirety of the Frozen Desert while completing the quest.

Since this was a large scale quest, I am thinking of recruiting my friends to finish the quest. Not only that perhaps, this will be the quest that will allow me to finish the final piece to complete the Incomplete Rhongomyniad. There are only a few more hours left before the Versatile Weapon finishes on its digestion. I will have to visit my friends and recruit them.. This time, I needed to witness what is so great with the legend of King Arthur myself.
