Chapter 23: Glondelle
The translucent purple wall of energy stretches as if it were boundless to the end where the sea and the sky meet.
The sea breeze blows through the red hair, and Shakespeare looks out at the wall of energy that stretches out like a monster, "It is said that it appeared 100 years ago, and it was originally just a siege of a lost city. But since then, the walls of energy have continued to expand outwards every moment, slowly creating new barriers, skimming over mountains, crossing rivers, and creating new no-man's land. In a few years, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic will be completely cut off. β
Shakespeare gazed at the rough waves of the sea, "Even if the Strait of Gibraltar is far more turbulent than the English Channel, it is only a matter of time before it is cut off by that great wall." β
Bianca looked at the translucent wall of energy that seemed to be about to be devoured, and through which she could see the city within, as desolate as a ghost town.
She asked, "Is this made up of Honkai energy?" β
"According to the measurements of the first mate, it should be so. The average energy density of the cross-section is about 1,000 watts per square meter, and direct contact can lead to death' - I don't understand this terminology very well. β
Rita raised her index finger in a symbolic way, pondering, and said, "Even so, it didn't induce the appearance of the Honkai Beast?" β
- In their world, dense Honkai energy can induce mutations between animals and humans, and a large number of dead soldiers and Honkai beasts appear.
This catastrophe of a second outbreak is even more terrible.
"Honkaimon?" Shakespeare had apparently never heard of the term, let alone seen anything like it might be associated with.
"In other words, there is really nothing near the wall?"
"Nope." Shakespeare affirmed, "More desolate than dead silence." But direct contact with the 'walls of Asgard' can lead to ashes, as some of the refugees who cling to their homeland have already confirmed. β
"Gone to ...... Ashes"
Humans who come into contact with Honkai energy are generally turned into dead soldiers, the kind of monsters that resemble loss.
Rita guessed, "It seems that it's not just Honkai energy, but other energy mixed in. β
Shakespeare stood in the wind, "breaking down that wall and bringing the displaced back to their homelandβthat was the purpose of the Caledonian voyage." β
Once upon a time, I thought I had the means to try to change that. But it turned out that I was overestimating myself. So - this weapon is like this. β
Shakespeare didn't know where to pull out a sword, the gorgeous blade of the sword, like the sword of a brave man who defeated the demon king.
"What is this? Sword of Victory Pact? It doesn't look like it's broken. Ye You looked at the handle, which was similar to the sword of the Dull Hair King in terms of configuration, but it was far more gorgeous.
"Victory, haha, it's a miracle that can bring victory." Shakespeare was a little ashamed and said, "But you haven't seen it in real form." β
Shakespeare pretended to recite a eulogy to the sea, and then brought it to Bianca with both hands: "Anyway, I have used this sword badly, so I have to give it to you." β
"Wait, wait, why should I accept your bad stuff."
Shakespeare said with a smile, "Anyway, I just forcibly used it once, but it seemed to break some contract, but instead the special power of the weapon dissipatedβthat is, the seven gems set in the hilt of the sword, with a whoosh, scattered all over the world." β
Although Shakespeare had an apologetic tone, there was no remorse in her expression, and she said: "However, according to the first mate's understanding of the 'Valkyrie', you or Rita are the 'lucky ones' who can control this sword." β
"So, you're trying to use our power to restore its power." Bianca fiddled with the hilt of her sword and looked at the blade.
"This holy sword, when it unleashes its true power, will 'test' whether the master's special production meets its own expectations."
Hearing this, Ye You couldn't help but think of his book of contracts.
Shakespeare continued: "The seven jewels of the hilt of the sword represent seven qualities: bravery, self-confidence, fraternity, kindness, vitality, calmness, and nobility. Indispensable. As long as one is not recognized, the power will overflow and turn into seven gems at the ends of the earth. β
"Where did this come from?"
Shakespeare put it bluntly: "Our 'Caledonia' has succeeded in recovering a 'Gem of Courage' at the mouth of the Salum River at the westernmost tip of the African continent, and has succeeded in causing a red ring to appear on the hilt of the sword." β
Bianca looked down, and at the end of the hilt there was indeed a red ring with a lustrous sheen.
"Alright, alright, as long as you hold the hilt of the sword and feel it with your heart, you should be able to feel where the other six gems are gone."
Shakespeare said this, half-forced, half-pleading, and shoved the sword into Bianca's arms, who grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and then closed his eyes.
At this moment, Bianca felt a strange thing in her mind.
- Eulandale.
This was the first piece of information she got.
The name of this sword is Glondelle.
In astonishment, Bianca concentrates on trying to get more imagery.
Then six images appeared in her mind.
flowers blooming in the snow;
dazzling idols on stage;
a city surrounded by volcanoes and snowy ridges;
towering rocket launchers on the edge of the desert;
the bottomless blue caves of the rainforest, which are as deep as gems;
A stone statue standing on the shore on a deserted island.
At the same time, Bianca could feel the immense power that this sword should contain, it was the sharpest thing in the world.
It can cut through the sky, it can tear the earth.
This is the Holy Sword, Glondelle.
Bianca slowly opened her eyes, her body trembling slightly, and cold sweat flowed from her back.
"I did feel the sight...... Already it is hidden..... Indescribable, tremendous power.
If it could wake up, it would definitely be able to destroy that wall like cutting tofu. β
Biancaine's image just now was still undecided,
"This holy sword, Glondelle, is undoubtedly comparable to the 'Divine Key', how did you get your hands on it?"
"Picked it up." Shakespeare said, holding the back of his head.
"Huh?"
......
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the planet, a crack has opened in the islands of the vast sea.
Three gorgeously dressed figures stepped out of it.
"Eh~~~ The place of arrival this time is actually an uninhabited island in the sea? No way! β
"Then my last prize can come in handy. Ironwing - Totally fit all three of us. β
"Brother Hans is the best."
"By the way, our mission this time is ......"
"The main task is to find a holy sword called 'Eulandel'."
"It's actually a finding thing..... [Holy Court] always posts some boring tasks. According to our current capabilities, even if we go to the edge of the Void Battlefield, there will be no problem. β
"Don't mess around. Although there are many opportunities in the Void Battlefield, it is by no means what we can set foot in now."
ββ¦β¦ I'm just talking. β
"What if Eulandel has a lord?"
"Oh, just a bunch of stupid natives. We [Holy Court] want it, obediently offer it, and dare to resist? β
"Besides, we recycle for their good. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. β
Not only here, but there was also a snowy ice field, where space also cracked, a light ladder appeared, and four people wrapped in black robes walked down.
But unlike the three of them before, they didn't communicate at all, they looked at their companions silently and vigilantly, guarded each other, slowly retreated, and then accelerated at the same time, galloping away in four directions.
They have the same mission, to find the Holy Sword Glondelle, but only one person can take it back.
