Chapter Eighty-Seven: The History Book of Black
Heliga is intrigued by the secrets of the Empire that Arian Heard learned as the Holy Maiden of the Gun, and the latter is also interested in Heliga herself.
After Libel's affair was over, she began to prepare for the next step of the "Phantom Flame Project". For this reason, she packed up all the previous things and brought the girls of the "Iron Fleet" to Crossbell, and by the way, she could also take care of Levi, who had taken revenge and was no longer entangled in his heart, this talented young man whom she had always cared for.
It was also during this time, in casual conversations after training, that she received a lot of information about Helliga from Levy, which made her extremely curious.
Even after all these years, she had never heard of such an existence. Something completely different from the guiding magic that can be released directly without any props - unlike "Flame of Destruction", it is not only the form of fire that is his dish, but things including multiple elements such as thunder and lightning, frost, etc., just like real magic - in addition, there are spells with different effects that come from the chanting of wonderful sounds; Artifacts with very different effects that have not been heard of in the records of history; And derived from this, there is no second person on the continent who can imitate the way of fighting - powerful sword skills with a thousand strange spells.
In addition, inside the "Association", the "Daoist" who has a mysterious background, is always not afraid of heaven and earth, and can calmly deal with anyone who comes, seems to be a little afraid of the existence of this person, all of which can make her very interested, and it is precisely because of this that she will make an exception to tell Hailiga about the things just now - except for the information that she judged to be closely related to the next plan of the "Association" and must not be leaked, she has said everything she can say.
And now, in exchange for it, she also hopes that Helriga will satisfy her curiosity.
"Just like I can't tell you the answer to all your questions...... I'm not going to force you to answer all your questions. But I want to be able to get the truth, not from the standpoint of the "apostles" of the "association", but from my own standpoint. ”
"Just ask." Heiliga nodded, with Levi as a guarantee, coupled with his actual contact just now, Heiliga believed in the character and character of the person in front of him, and believed that she was not using the guise of trust.
"Your power...... Neither the way it exists, nor the way it is used, I have not heard of anything before this. What is it? This question was undoubtedly what she was most interested in.
"It's luck...... It's also an adventure and an opportunity. Luckily I got it. That's all. As for what you haven't heard of and haven't seen...... Of course, because it didn't exist in this world in the first place. It's like the "Outer Principle" used by your alliance leader. ”
"Okay...... Looks like you're not going to tell me the details. She sighed, "Another question...... The swordsmanship you use doesn't seem to be a genre that exists in this world? Did you create it yourself? Or is it still from this adventure? ”
"This swordsmanship...... Not strictly my own. It just belongs to the last soul who learned it, and little by little it has incorporated this habit into my body. I haven't fully mastered it yet...... If I only talk about swordsmanship and don't use other powers, I probably won't be able to defeat any of the three of you right now. However, its original owner, even if it is only said that he is a swordsmanship, may not be weaker than the "Sword Maker of Light" who is now famous all over the world. ”
"So...... Is it still an adventure? ”
"Yes. Unlike most of the schools of swordsmanship here – the technique I currently use and practice is called "Sword Song" – although I have never been able to grasp the essence of it. "It comes from an ancient and mysterious being...... the subtlety of the skill of the Sword Singer lies in the perfect combination of magic and swordsmanship...... That's the big difference. In the eyes of the sword singer, the use of magic and swordsmanship are equally important, and there is no priority between the two, only complementing each other. ”
"I see...... That's the kind of existence that exists. Arian Hurd understood why, as a school of swordsmanship, Helika's movements just now looked so weird, as if he had been keeping a hand somewhere, "It seems to be a completely different system from guiding magic......
"Hmm. I can't tell you the secret of this. At least not yet. ”
"As I just said, I don't force it." "One last question...... I don't know what kind of thinking is there, but I think I might be able to find a breakthrough with you. Do you know the "Black History Book"? ”
"The History Book of Black...... Not impressed. Heliga struggled to recall it, making sure that there was no memory of the thing in his mind - and if there were, it must have been brushed aside by the person who said it in the chat, and it was not emphasized.
"Yes...... Not many people have heard of it by now. Arian Hurd frowned, looking very good, "If the empire is really as expected by the Alliance Lord, it will inevitably enter war and turmoil...... Those mysterious spirit caves, abnormal spirit veins, and "phantom beasts" that appear everywhere...... I'm afraid it will happen again. ”
"What do you mean...... The last time there was such turmoil in the Empire, did something like this appear everywhere? ”
"Yes...... At that time, the "Black History Book" that recorded everything that happened in the past and even in the future appeared. The one who studied those history books and told Draquels the results was the "Scarlet" Roscelia I just mentioned. ”
"You say that......" Thinking of the "witches" family, Helliga always felt as if Emma had vaguely mentioned this thing?
"If you have time...... I hope you'll pay more attention when the time comes. If there is a "Black History Book", there must be something on it that can inspire what follows. That's a little bit of advice from me. ”
“…… Thank you. "These things, Helliga will have to wait for himself to confirm them, but it seems that Arian Hurd does not seem to be lying to himself.
"Say goodbye to Levi for me." With that, Arian Hurd nodded lightly to Helriga before simply turning and leaving.
"......" left Helliga alone in place, savoring what she had said.
