The second part of Sunny's Yuna's birthday special
Evan squinted at Thorne, who was embarrassed by his gaze and hurriedly said, "You go on." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć He also gradually understood that Ai Wen was using this story to persuade him not to indulge in martial arts and to care more about national politics.
Roy said that the three kinds of swords are the sword of the emperor, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the commoners. Evan continued. "Thus King V asked what the Emperor's sword looked like. Roy said that the sword of the Great has the Duchy of Nome (the ancient country at the border between East and West) as the tip of the sword, Mount Bleg (ancient mountains) and the Nordun River (ancient river) as the blade, the city of Nodeng (the ancient military town) and the Black Rock City (the ancient military town) as the sword spine, and the Bright Hill City (the name of the ancient city) and the Odu (the capital of the Arcane Empire) as the hilt. The four overseas islands (large islands in ancient times) are used as scabbards, wrapped in the four seasons, wrapped with Mirror Lake (the northern inland sea in ancient times), and tied with the Eagle Vulture Mountains. It is controlled by the four elements, and judged by criminal law and morality. Follow the changes of light and darkness to advance and retreat, follow the seasons of spring and autumn and extend, and follow the arrival of autumn and winter. This kind of sword, straight piercing unstoppable, holding high above nothing, pressing the sword downwards invincible, swinging it as if there is nothing, cutting the floating clouds upwards, and cutting the earth downward. Once used, this kind of sword can correct the princes and make all the people of the world submit. This is the Emperor's Sword. ā
When Sao V heard this, he was stunned and continued to ask the princes what the sword looked like. Evan said. Roy continued, "The sword of the princes should be made of the wise and brave, the blade of the sword of the incorruptible, the spine of the sword, the ring of the sword of the loyal and the sage, and the hilt of the sword. This kind of sword is unstoppable when it stabs straight forward, and there is nothing on it when it is raised high, and it is invincible when it is pressed downward, and it is as if there is nothing next to it when it is wielded. The upper is to follow the sky and conform to the sun, moon and stars, the lower is to follow the earth and conform to the four-time sequence, and the center is to conform to the will of the people and stabilize the four directions. Once this kind of sword is used, it is like a thunderbolt that shakes the four realms, and there is no one who does not obey the king's orders. This is the sword of the princes. ā
"Finally, Sao V asked, how about the Commoner's Sword?" Evan continued, taking a sip of the water brought by the servant. "The Commoner's Sword is all unkempt in hair, in a protruding bun, with a low-hanging hat with thick tassels, tight-fitting clothes, wide-eyed and panting. Fighting and assassinating each other in front of people, the upper can cut off the neck, and the lower can cut the liver and lungs, this is the sword of the people, no different from cockfighting, once the life is exhausted, it is useless for state affairs. Now that you have the strength to conquer the world, but you are addicted to the sword of the common people, I feel very worthless!"
"Huh. Thorne smiled awkwardly. "I see, I'll take notice. ā
"That's good. Evan nodded. "In my capacity, I shouldn't have said that. But I consider Thorne to be my friend, and I don't want you to have a bad relationship with your father because of these things. ā
"I know. Thorne said with a smile. "Actually, I've been patient, I wanted to leave this place a long time ago, but my father insisted that I inherit the throne. So I began to learn to be a king, and with the help of my father, I gathered a group of subordinates. But I feel like I'm living a lonely and boring life. The life I have now may be what my younger brothers want to be, but I'd rather I wasn't the firstborn. ā
Evan didn't know how to persuade him, so he patted him on the shoulder. Just as the two fell silent, heavy and neat footsteps suddenly sounded outside the mansion.
"Oh no, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Black Armor Army and the Silver Armor Army have surrounded the gate!" a servant suddenly ran in from outside the door, and reported loudly. The servants in the mansion had never encountered such a situation, and they all panicked, and the sound of messy footsteps sounded outside.
"What!" Thorne was shocked. "The Black Armor Army and the Silver Armor Army are the private armies of the second and third brothers, how could they enter the city and dare to surround my mansion!"
"Don't panic!" Evan shouted, calming Thorne, who had just been a little flustered.
"Aven, I need your help!" "Thorne calmed down, thought for a moment, and asked Evan for help. "Looking at this situation, the second brother and the third brother are coveting the king's position. Someone in my house must have been bribed by them, and when they heard that these of my men were drunk tonight, they were unconscious, and they wanted to take the opportunity to kill me and take the throne. ā
"There is a huge disparity in strength between us and the enemy now, but as long as we can delay for a while, the city guards can rush to quell the chaos. Thorne said. "I don't worry about these servants now, I can only rely on you!"
"No problem! you can rest assured!" Evan nodded firmly. "But I didn't bring a weapon tonight, and I need you to borrow me a handy weapon. ā
"Okay, you come with me. Thorne nodded, then turned and led Evan towards the inner room.
Greybeard Dwarves are fond of collecting weapons, but there are restrictions on the weapons that civilians can have, and only nobles can build warehouses to store large quantities of weapons. However, nobles who have reached a certain height cannot collect weapons, because nobles who have reached the rank of earl or above have their own territories, and collecting a large number of weapons will be considered to have the intention of rebellion.
And at the level of a prince, having a private army will be strictly guarded. Private armies can only be equipped with equipment of lower quality than the national army and can only be rationed by the state. The prince can collect weapons, but there is a limit to the number of weapons, each piece must be registered, damage must be seen in pieces, loss will be punished.
Therefore, Thorne's collection room is not as large as Trem's, and the overall quality of the collection inside is slightly higher than that of Trem's, but the quantity is far inferior.
"Pick whichever you like!" Thorne said quickly. "Time is running out, and the gate won't last long. ā
Thorne's mansion is similar in structure to the Trem family, except that the houses built inside the hill are smaller and the houses outside are larger. The fence of his house was three meters high, and there were thistles on it, and even Evan didn't dare to try to climb over it. The gate is a stone gate, controlled by a winch, and slides open to both sides.
The stone door was so strong that Evan had tried to push it, but he had tried to push it with all his strength, but it didn't move. But the troops outside were prepared, and they must have been ready to hit the wood, and even a hard stone gate would be smashed if it hit it a few more times.
Ai Wen also felt that time was pressing, so he didn't care about choosing carefully, so he hurriedly glanced at it and randomly chose the one that seemed most convenient to take and went out with Thorne. On the way, there was a sound of slamming wood against the door outside, and the servants were so frightened that they fell to their knees, not daring to move.
Thorne led Aven to the gate, only to find that one of his servants was using a winch to open the door.
"What are you doing!" roared Thorne. I only heard a sound of breaking wind, and it turned out that Ai Wen directly swung the fine iron mace and smashed it on the servant's head at once, and blood splattered everywhere.
