59. The King's Treasure
Walking out of the dojo, Loki slowly walked into the ancestral hall full of age under the leadership of Norton. As soon as he approached the ancestral hall, Loki saw a heavy sword next to the door, and then the light flashed, and a young man appeared floating in the middle of nowhere. I saw him raise his right hand, raise his index and middle fingers, and tap the corner of his right eyebrow to greet Loki:
"Hey, Lord Demon, long time no see. ”
"Are you...... Ah, Swain, you kid ......" Loki frowned, and then found the name of the young man in front of him from the part of his memory that belonged to the Demon King. In fact, strictly speaking, the guy in front of him is not a human being, but the spirit state of the heavy sword.
Speaking of which, in fact, in Loki's kingdom of God, there is a race called the Weapons Clan. The essence of this race is actually very similar to the setting of the Holy War Angels in an anime called "Legend of the Weapon Race" in Loki's memory, except that these weapon clans can materialize their spirit states while maintaining the status of their weapons, and in some cases, they can even use themselves to fight. However, because it was one of the fighting races under the rule of the Demon King of the Weapon Clan, after Loki was sealed, except for a small number of Weapon Clans who chose to defect to the side of humans, elves and even orcs, the rest of the Weapon Clan was jointly killed by the three parties, and now there is no one in ten. The heavy sword in front of him, known as Swain, was the patriarch token that Loki had given to the Helrington clan back then. Therefore, it was normal for Sven to recognize Loki.
"Well, I remember that the patriarch of the Hellington family is Billy now, right? So, if I hadn't won the game and let the game drag on to the third game, I would have to face you with Swain in my hand? Isn't this really cheating......" As the giver, Loki knows very well how powerful Swain is. This item can control gravity within a certain range, which can be said to be a very troublesome support skill. What if Billy used Sven against him...... Loki finds it tricky to think about.
"Well, it was meant to be like this. But don't worry, my lord, the competition will not be unfair, because in that dojo, Sven's spirit cannot be visualized, and his special abilities cannot be used. There, he was just an artifact-level heavy sword of the highest quality. Billy scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"That's right...... Wait, Swain knows me, can't he prove that I'm the Demon King? Do you still have to let me play that hell game? I don't think you have anyone to compete all day long, so you're too idle, so you took this Demon King to practice?!" Loki, who suddenly remembered something, turned his head and glared at Norton.
"Ahaha, how is that possible...... Our family is an honest person, how could we do such a thing. We've just forgotten about it...... That's right, just forgot. Norton suddenly looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, looking like, "I don't know anything."
"Cut, I believe you're a ghost!" Loki snorted very unhappily, "So, is this the so-called thing that can confirm my identity?"
"No, no, no, it's not. Norton hurriedly said, "There is another treasure that you need to pick up in person, which is a treasure that our Hairington family snatched from a human family in that war-torn era, and we have kept it to this day." Merely...... This treasure...... There are some issues that you may need to deal with yourself. ”
"Oh, is it?" Loki raised his eyebrows, what the hell is this old thing trying to do? Forget it, if their family is loyal to them, there will be no problem.
Thinking of this, Loki nodded: "Okay, then lead the way, I want to see what your hidden treasure is." ”
Bypassing the screen of the ancestral hall and following Norton into the inner chamber, Loki saw the huge yellow crystal in the center of the inner chamber at first glance. But there was nothing unusual about the crystal, and what really shocked Loki was the long-handled double-headed scythe in the center of the crystal, which was set in the crystal like a worm in amber.
"Best...... Is that you......" Loki muttered to himself like a dream, walking slowly to the crystal with a mechanical, stiff step, reaching out and gently stroking it. The moment Loki's hand touched the crystal, the double-headed scythe in the crystal suddenly emitted a burst of blinding light. With the light shining, the crystal suddenly fell apart, turning into countless points of light and disappearing, leaving only the double-headed scythe still floating quietly in midair.
"Best? is that you...... Is that you?" Loki cautiously stepped forward, reaching out to grab the double-headed scythe.
"It's not us, who do you think it is, and hold your groping hand a little farther away!" Loki's hand was about to touch the double-headed scythe, a long, white hand grabbed Loki's wrist.
"Best, it's you!" Loki didn't care about the wording in the other party's tone at all, but looked at the red-haired royal sister who appeared in front of him with a look of surprise. The long shawl red hair began to curl about one-third of the way down, and the majestic "bosom" was accentuated by the rather lustrous open-chested cheongsam, and the tall and convex figure made Loki swallow a mouthful of saliva. Such a provoking royal sister seems to have a very strong personality, and at this moment she is still chattering about Loki:
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'm going to gouge out your eyeballs?
"Well...... It's not a shake M, but after so many years, I really miss hearing your poisonous tongue again......" Loki shrugged his shoulders, and then turned to the side of a blue-haired little Lori who had no sense of presence from the beginning, "But compared to your tone that can infuriate people, I still like the character of the kitten." ”
"Cut, I don't want to see you yet!All I have in my head is a woman's pervert! Let's go back, little kitten, don't talk nonsense with this scum! Breathing with him is a kind of pollution!"
"Yes...... However, Sister Lion, the master is not as bad as you say...... The master is a very gentle person......" Little Lori glanced at the royal sister and stammered.
"That's it, look at other people's kittens, how cute they are, how like you, hang dirty words on your lips all day long. Here, hug one, kitten. Loki smiled and opened his arms to little Lori.
"......" Little Lori glanced at the royal sister timidly, hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind and threw herself into the arms of a certain Lolita.
"Well, look at it, how good this is. It's obviously the same person, but the personality is so different, I really don't understand......" Loki shook his head and hugged little Lori tightly, while gently stroking Little Lori's head. Little Lori squinted her eyes and leaned on Loki's arms with a look of enjoyment.
"What's not to understand? I'm just this character, I want you to take care of it?!" the royal sister still turned her back to Loki.
"Hey, hey, hey, my temper is a little too much this time. No one likes it. Loki said helplessly.
"yes, that's what I am, and no one likes me anyway. Don't you men like the character of the kitten?Then you can hold her, I won't accompany her!" With that, the royal sister's figure disappeared and floated towards the red end of the double-headed sickle.
"Well, you really don't like anyone. Loki's indifferent voice stunned the figure of the royal sister who was about to return to the scythe, and if you look at it from the front, you can see that her eyes are quickly filled with tears.
"The only guy in the world who likes you isn't human. Immediately after, Loki's cynical voice came from behind the royal sister's ears. With a hot breath hitting her ears, the royal sister felt a pair of warm arms around her waist.
"Well, I haven't seen you for more than 7,000 years, so don't be a little temperant, okay?" Loki whispered in the royal sister's ear, and then took her ear in one gulp.
"You...... It's been more than 7,000 years, and you're still so full of things. The royal sister sniffed and continued to complain in a slightly choked voice.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'm your master, and you have to listen to me!" Loki suddenly changed his previous kind words of persuasion, and his tone began to become domineering. He forcefully pressed the shoulders of the royal sister, turned her whole body around, and then kissed the seductive red lips.
"Mmmm......mm
"Cut, the tiger is not powerful, you and I are a sick cat! In front of this demon king, even if it is a real lion, you have to obediently turn me into a kitten!" After a long kiss, Loki let go of the royal sister who had softened into a puddle of water in his arms, and turned around.
"Cats, lions, all these years...... I'm so sorry for you......"
"It's okay, the owner is the most gentle to us, so if you wait for the owner, the cat can wait for thousands of years. Lori, named Cat, replied with a smile.
“…… Although I don't want to admit it, but, but, but ......" The royal sister named Lion swallowed for a long time, and finally whispered with a blushing face, "What if...... The object is your words...... It's no problem to wait another one or two thousand years......" Then, the lion pretended to be tough and said: "At most one or two thousand years, if it takes a long time, I won't wait for you, just find another master!"
"Good, good. Loki looked like a child.
"You ......" the lion wanted to cry a little without tears. I think that when she was still a free body, she was also a genius in the entire weapon family, and her personality was extremely strong, and no one in her generation was afraid of her until ......
The lion glared at Loki, who was still holding himself in his arms. It wasn't until she met this man who made her completely incapable that her life, oh no, her weapon life was ruined. But...... In fact, it doesn't feel bad to have someone to rely on......
Loki didn't know that the big beauty in his arms was thinking so much. At this time, he was still immersed in joy. In his Demon King's memory, this double-headed scythe was a weapon that he used very frequently back then. It can be taken apart as two scythes or joined together as a growth weapon. This double-headed scythe is special, it looks like it has two spirits, but in fact these two spirits are supposed to be two personalities sharing the same soul, well, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a weapon grid. The spirit's real name is Best, and she is a cat-headed goddess in ancient Egyptian mythology, representing family, happiness, and more. However, in Egyptian mythology, cats can travel between the yin and yang worlds, so Best often appears with the god of death, the jackal god Anubis. And before Best became a cat-headed goddess symbolizing happiness, she used to be a god in the image of a lion symbolizing war and death. These are the two personalities of Best...... The origin of the weapon grid.
The half of the scythe that represents the gentle cat, the little blue-haired Lori, is blue, and it is shrouded in magic like light smoke. This is the magic that represents life, and it can be used to heal wounds or diseases by chopping, just like the natural teeth in Inuyasha. But even cats get angry. If the cat chooses to use its magic for burning, the scythe becomes a scythe of destruction capable of burning the lives of those hit. The death of the people who were hit was quite strange, obviously the body and soul were intact, but they just lost their lives. That's what scarred about cats, too.
The violent lion, the red-haired royal sister, wields a red power, and the blade is forever flowing with magic like blood. This is the magic that represents death. When the scythe hits the target, the power of death on the blade is infused into the opponent's body. If the victim does not have enough vitality to resist death, his life will be ruthlessly terminated. However, in the same way, the blade representing death can also drain the death power from the target's body. However, generally speaking, when the power of death appears in a person's body, there is not much life left in his body. Therefore, even if the lion draws out the death power in the opponent's body, when the opponent's remaining life force is exhausted, there will be a strange death like being burned out of life force by a cat. In the same way, if the object injected by the cat with a lot of death power, the other party will gradually dry up like being struck by a lion after the life force is exhausted, until it turns into a pinch of loess.
As the so-called yin and yang are born, the lion and the cat are still the same spirit in the end, but the power of life and death is displayed in different ways. In the final analysis, they are all the goddess Best who can travel between the two worlds of yin and yang.
After spending some time with the two beauties, Loki remembered that this was in someone else's ancestral hall. Fortunately, as early as the beginning, Norton was very sensible and retreated with a large group of people, so as to avoid an embarrassment.
What follows is the happy ending. With Swain and Best's confirmation, the Hairington family naturally recognized the identity of the Loki Demon King and rejoined the Demon King's command. Loki, who had settled everything, was now returning to the carriage of the Gimonri family with his eyes closed. Just as Best returned to his hands, the system, which had not been seen for a long time, began to prompt the task again.
"Side Quest: Weapon Race Tales. Collect weapons scattered across the continent due to deaths in previous lives. Quest Item: Treasure of the King. Rewards: Each weapon collected, the King's Treasure level increases. Current Level: D"
"I'll go, does this mean that I can cos the gold in the future? In the future, I can also handsomely use countless treasures to kill others? Wow, really...... Great!" Loki was thrilled. You know, it's not an exaggeration to say that the golden king's treasure can be said to be an artifact, although the destructive power is not as good as EX and EA, but it is definitely better than EX and EA in a head-to-head duel, because you know, not everyone will be like a sea demon to take a hard shot of EX, people will run.
"However, isn't it too fast to collect one weapon and upgrade to one level? In this way, wouldn't it be that my king's treasure is S-level if I collect four weapons?"
"It's as beautiful as you think, stupid master. Tisi shook her head, "From D-rank to B-class, you can upgrade to one level with one weapon, but from A-rank onwards, there are A-, A, A ratings." Moreover, collecting weapons can only upgrade the King's Treasure to A rank at most, and S rank is a level that can only be triggered by other tasks. ”
"Oh, other tasks, what missions?" asked Loki curiously.
"Ah, this...... This one...... This can't be said.,This is the system permission under the Kasuga god himself.,I really can't say ......" Tisi's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, presumably she herself felt that this kind of behavior that aroused the appetite of others but did not finish the words was too much.
Although Loki still wanted to fight for it, but thinking of the permission set by Haruhi himself, Tess presumably couldn't tell him, so he gave up.
"Well, master, while I can't tell you how to raise the King's Treasure to S-rank, I can tell you something else about the King's Treasure. In fact, even if you complete the mission and upgrade the King's Treasure to the S rank, you won't have much combat power. Probably embarrassed, Tisi took the initiative to reveal other information to Loki.
"Ahh
"Master, think about it, the treasure of the king is just a space with treasures, how can it be lethal? If you blindly increase the level of the King's Treasure and ignore the number of weapons loaded in it, then even if it is an S-level King's Treasure, it will not have much lethality. ”
"Uh...... What do you say...... That's right, the treasure of the king without a treasure is just a very large space backpack, and the lethality or something must not exist, right...... Thanks for the reminder, Tess. That's when Loki remembered this very important thing. It seems that I have time to loot some weapons...... But where are you going to find so many powerful weapons......
"And a little more oh master. Tisi reminded, "The weapons that are put into the King's Treasure, except for those weapons with spirits, will be automatically treasured and upgraded by one level. However, only weapons of lower rank than the King's Treasure. For example, if you use a C-level King's Treasure to install a B-level Treasure or a weapon that can be recognized as B-level, it will not be upgraded. ”
"That's right...... Seemingly...... Hmph, when my strength improves a little more, I have to go to the orcs. I've heard that the dwarves are staying there right now, so I'm interested in the weapons they've crafted. Loki said with a wicked grin. Alas, the poor dwarves are being targeted by the evil Great Demon King.
