Chapter 32: The Crystal Sword
Her slender fingers pointed to the long sword hanging on the door and said, "I want it." ”
The shopkeeper looked at her hand, only to see her pointing to the crystal sword hanging on the door, her face changed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "I'm very sorry, this sword is not for sale." ”
She wondered, if the sword is not sold here, what is it for, it should be used as an ornament.
She asked, "Why don't you sell it?" ”
The shopkeeper retracted his smile and said resolutely, "This sword was inherited by my father, and it is not for sale." ”
She was slightly disappointed, "It's not for sale!" He said dejectedly, "If you don't sell it, forget it." ”
She tugged at the king's sleeve and turned to leave. At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly stopped her, "Please, wait a minute." ”
She looked back weakly and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The shopkeeper seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it, his brows furrowed, he thought for a while, and said as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, you try it, if there is a fate, this sword will be given to you, if not, then I'm sorry." ”
When she heard him say this, her eyes lit up, and then she said distressedly, "What else does the sword need, is it like what it shows on TV?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "My father said that the sword is spiritual. ”
She pouted and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”
The shopkeeper walked to the door, took his sword from his feet, walked up to her in a few steps, and offered it with both hands.
She let out a breath, her hand grasping the hilt of the sword, not as heavy as she had imagined, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the blade. It stands to reason that if there is fate, the sword should have changed somewhat, but the sword has not changed at all.
She looked left and right, but still didn't notice that there was a difference, so she sighed and said disappointedly, "I have no relationship with it, and I won't force it if it doesn't belong to me." ”
She stretched out her hand and put the sword in the shopkeeper's hand, who took it carefully, frowned, and said, "I guessed it a long time ago, alas. ”
She took Wang's hand and was about to step out of this small shop, suddenly, a flash of inspiration in her mind, quickly raised her head, and looked at the handsome face, at this time Wang's sense of oppression was even worse, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a little impatient, probably because she had been cold for a long time, so she was very unhappy.
She also didn't suggest, looking at the king, he was the king, why not let the king try.
She looked at the king's eyes and said excitedly, "You can try it too, maybe you can." ”
But the king looked at her coldly, obviously not interested in this kind of thing. Seeing the king's expression, she shook the king's hand and said coquettishly, "You can try, try." ”
Thinking about it, the king was still no match for her, so he gracefully took the long sword in the shopkeeper's hand and swung it to the ground, and the shopkeeper saw that the long sword almost rubbed the ground, and almost shouted, this is his treasure.
The long sword in Wang's hand suddenly bloomed with red brilliance, enchanting red, flamboyant red, resisting the brilliance of the sun, the small shop was rendered red, and people passing by stopped and looked at everything that happened in the store in amazement.
The red light found the king's face, and the impeccable face became even more evil, and there was still no expression on his face, looking at the sword in his hand lightly. And she was different from the shopkeeper, her eyes widened, her mouth was O-shaped, and her jaw almost fell off. The shopkeeper was even more exaggerated, crying with joy, shouting, "Finally found, finally found......"
Wang glanced at the shopkeeper and threw his hand into the air, and the shopkeeper was frightened and immediately took the sword, holding the treasure in his arms.
She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the sword in the shopkeeper's arms, and the red brilliance disappeared, exactly the same as before, and the red brilliance seemed to be a phantom.
The brilliance dissipated, and it took a long time for the people at the door to come back to their senses and disperse one after another.
The king glanced at her and said lightly, "Take it and go back." ”
When the shopkeeper heard Wang's words, he hesitated for half a minute, and took the sword out of the house with both hands.
She looked at the sword in the shopkeeper's hand, but she didn't take it for a long time.
She saw the reluctance of the shopkeeper in her eyes, and it was not good to win people's love after all.
The shopkeeper also knew her thoughts, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, your husband is related to this sword, and I should also give this sword to you according to my father's wishes." ”
She took the sword. As the king was about to leave, she pulled the king by the sleeve and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, this sword is so important to you, there must be a story in it, so if I am curious, I will ask the shopkeeper to tell me." ”
She glanced at the king, and he almost went away, so she reassured, "Wait a minute." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he sighed and said earnestly, "This sword is made of crystal, you must know that only our king and a few nobles are qualified to use the crystal in the entire continent, and it is rare to see a commoner like us in a hundred years." ”
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "But three hundred years ago, when the war broke out with the Night Rabbit, my father, as a general, charged into battle and cut off the heads of hundreds of soldiers of the Night Rabbit Clan. Later, when the war ended, the king gave his father a piece of uncarved red crystal. ”
The shopkeeper mentioned his father, a little sad, "My father was a general, so he carved the crystal into a sword. The father thought that he had committed a crime, of course, against the Night Rabbit Clan, so he resigned from his position and opened a sword shop. My father often said that the sword was held in the hand for the sake of people's stability. At the beginning, my father was forced to kill the soldiers of the Night Rabbit Clan. Within a few years, my father was ill and was wounded on the battlefield. My father said that he had never been able to control this sword, and that he wanted me to find someone who was destined to give him the sword, but I had been waiting for more than 200 years, and tens of thousands of people had tried it, but I had not found it after all, and I was about to give up after so many years. ”
When she heard the shopkeeper say that he had been waiting for more than two hundred years, she was stunned on the spot.
He waited for more than 200 years. Coupled with the years when his father was still alive, how old did he live, but the shopkeeper was in his fifties at most. She recalled that Cai'er said that she was more than 100 years old, and Cai'er said that Wang had been on the throne for more than 300 years and had been assassinated hundreds of times.
She asked incredulously, "You said you had been waiting for more than two hundred years." ”
The shopkeeper could not question, "Yes." ”
She said, "So, let me take the liberty of asking, how old are you this year?" ”
The shopkeeper replied suspiciously, "It's three hundred and forty-nine years old." Why do you ask this? ”
Hearing the shopkeeper say this, she only felt dizzy in her head and couldn't react. She looked at the king, and saw that he was impatient, so she turned her head to the shopkeeper and said, "I should go, and see you again." ”
She waved at the shopkeeper, who bowed and said, "You must take care of it." ”
She nodded firmly to the shopkeeper and said, "Definitely." ”
When they went out, she looked at the king and asked, "How old are you, king?" ”
The king looked at her and did not answer. So she stepped forward, took hold of the king's sleeve, and said, "Tell me about it." ”
Sure enough, the king still couldn't get past her trick, and said lightly, "One thousand five hundred and three." ”
This sentence made her stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, watched the king distance from her, and then ran over......
