Chapter 1489: Brave New World (7)

The old man's words immediately frightened Arthur into a cold sweat.

"Yes, it's you?!" he stammered a little in surprise.

"It's me. The old man grinned, "Who else could it be?" Do you think that a sword would suddenly fall from the sky in the wilderness and fall right at your feet? ＂

"Who the hell are you?!"

"It's not convenient for me to tell you my name right now, but I'll do it if I have the chance. I can only tell you that I am your friend, not your enemy. The old man held out his hand to Arthur, "So, do you want to show me the sword? ＂

So, besetting his trust, Arthur drew his sword from its sheath and slowly moved it to the old man's face. He had the idea of raising his sword and killing the old man, but he wanted to know what kind of medicine the old man was selling in the gourd, so he finally handed the sword to the old man.

"Hehehe, good boy. The old man took the sword, removed the scabbard, and stroked the sharp blade of the sword: "If you had to choose, would you choose this sword, or the scabbard that protects it?"

Arthur suddenly remembered that Merlin had asked him the same question before, and he naturally replied, "Scabbard." ＂

"Yes," the old man was pleased with the answer, "the true value of a sword lies not in its sharp edge, but in the hard scabbard that protects it." Strife and harm do not bring anything to the world, only protection can make the world a better place. ＂

After speaking, the old man had already reached out to wipe the blade of the sword. Arthur snorted in surprise and tried to stop it, he was afraid that the old man's hand would be cut by the sharp blade. However, it was too late, and the old man had already grasped the sharp blade with one hand, and dragged it from the hilt all the way to the tip of the sword!

It was a sword with a fine enchantment! If an ordinary person grabbed the blade of the sword like this and dragged it, it was estimated that even his fingers would be cut off one by one! Arthur was so frightened that he didn't dare to look directly at the old man!

However, the old man was not injured, and not even half a drop of blood came out of his hand. As he held the blade with his hand and dragged it, as if by magic, the original sharp blade on the blade disappeared!

"Y-What have you done?!" Arthur was anxious: "Ruined! You destroyed all the swords!!"

"Hahaha, it's not ruined, rest assured, kid. After the old man had completely lost the blade of the sword, he began to grasp the blade and pull it out!

The cave was suddenly flooded with light.

Under a milky white light, among the blades that were torn off by the old man, there was actually another blade hidden!

It was a blade made of light!

It was a lightsaber! a lightsaber that glowed milky white!

This turned out to be a sword with a dual structure of a lightsaber and a physical sword! The physical sword part that was lost by the old man just now was actually a shell and a scabbard, but the part of the lightsaber that really had great power was hidden deep in it!

"Be careful, kid. The old man drew his lightsaber and admonished Arthur: "In our world, this level of weaponry is a taboo. Very few people know that it exists, and almost no one understands how it works. Some pious people may worship the sword blade that glows with this light as a miracle, but there will also be some people with ulterior motives who will say that it is a kind of witchcraft, and there may even be a heretical inquisitor who will come to you and try to burn you at the stake. So, use it carefully, and if you want to draw your sword out of the sheath against the enemy, it's best not to leave a living mouth on the battlefield. ＂

In fact, Arthur was dumbfounded at this time, and he didn't know whether to answer "yes" or "no". When the old man shoved the hilt of the lightsaber into Arthur's hand again, the Knight King came back to his senses from his stunned state. He could feel some heat coming from the hilt of the lightsaber. This thing is indeed genuine, and it feels several times more powerful than an ordinary lightsaber that Arthur can touch.

"What's the name of this sword?" Arthur thought for a long time before he thought of the only question.

"Seraph. The old man replied to Arthur in standard English: "It must feel good, don't you? I hope you will like it, my dear King Arthur." ＂

There are too many things to complain about in the other party's words. However, now Arthur is numb by the wave of surprise, and he doesn't know where to start complaining. He just took the lightsaber, took a few steps back, and swung it a few times in a place where no one was around. It was a wonderful touch, and even the low hum of the lightsaber cutting through the air was Arthur's favorite type.

"Who are you?" Arthur then turned to the old man and asked, "Are you really the [god] of this world?"

"Maybe, maybe not. The old man smiled even more mysteriously, but there was no hint of malice in that mysterious smile, giving Arthur the feeling that he could believe him: "There can be an infinite number of definitions of gods in the world, depending on the situation, and I can even call myself your kind, the Spirit." But those details don't matter, the important thing is that I'm your friend and I'm not going to interfere with anything you're about to do. ＂

"Really, won't interfere?" Arthur remembered what Merlin had said earlier. Arthur: They have always been outsiders to this world, and they are out of step with this world. Arthur is actually not allowed to kill people in this world, and if he can, it is best not to have too much contact with the people of this world, so as not to affect the normal historical development of this world. However, the old man gave Arthur the sword, and even seemed to be instigating Arthur to act recklessly, and his actions were simply incomprehensible.

"I'm not going to interfere. The old man sneered, "This world is shrouded in darkness. Your presence is the best opportunity to change the world. I may claim to be your kind, but I am actually a little different from you. Although I have great power, I cannot interfere with the free will of everyone. So, no matter what these stupid humans are doing, how to lead the world to destruction, there is nothing I can do but watch.

But you are different, Your Majesty King Arthur. I did a little bit when you came into this world, so that you have your own free will, and at the same time have the right to interfere in this world. Whatever you plan to do to the world next, if it's good for the world, do it - and I'll keep an eye on you. ＂

"Sounds like a stalker," Arthur glanced at the old man.

"Hahaha, you can say that too. The old man replied jokingly.

"So, seriously, if you are the god of this world," Arthur asked tentatively, "you must know the whereabouts of my queen Greenway, don't you?"

"Hahaha, that's a great question. The old man's eyes rolled: "The reason why your lover has been summoned into this world is entirely because one of my old rivals is interfering with it. I can tell you where she is now and in what capacity. But you can't take her, and my old adversaries will try to keep her until her true mission is accomplished. ＂

"Who is your old adversary?"

"Do you know, child?" the old man did not answer Arthur's question directly, but made another condition: "If you help me, I will help you." When it all comes to an end, when the girl has fulfilled her mission, I promise to send you back to your original world safe and sound. Do you agree?"

"How does it sound like I have no other choice?" Arthur was slightly dissatisfied: "Well, just do what you suggest, it's better than me being alone in this strange world, aimlessly looking for Greenway." I just hope you don't lie to me, or I'll make you regret it. ＂

"Promise not to lie to you, kid. The old man laughed and said, "Honesty is one of my many virtues. ＂

Arthur was skeptical: "But do you want to trust someone who doesn't even want to give his name?" Hum. ＂

"Do you know, child?" added the old man, "though my real name is inconvenient to tell you, but you always need a way to address me, can you? You can call me [J], which is the most appropriate way to call me." ＂

Arthur frowned, "[J]? isn't even a name—"

"Don't worry about that kind of detail. The old man smiled and said, "Okay, that's basically all I have to confess." Your companion is almost coming back, so I'll go first, so I won't bother you to discuss. ＂

After speaking, the mysterious old man J transformed into an old man with silver hair and white robes, the robe looked like that of a magician, but it also looked like some kind of monk's missionary attire. Because the robe was so white and flawless, it reflected the fire, and suddenly Arthur's eyes were almost blinded. The boy just subconsciously turned his head to avoid the dazzling light, and after getting used to it, he turned his head to complain, but the mysterious old man had disappeared and could no longer be found.

"It's a rush to come and go. Arthur couldn't help but complain.

"Your Majesty?" and at the same time, Merlin's raven came in from outside the cave, "I seem to see a bright light in the distance. Did something just happen?"

"You don't see an old man running out of here?" Arthur asked.

"No, my Harry flew in from the outside, but he didn't see anything. Merlin replied.

"So he'll teleport. Arthur couldn't help but snort. Despite the logical analysis, the mysterious old man J should have used teleportation to leave the cave. But his intuition told Arthur that things seemed so much more than that.

Something very unusual is happening in this different world hundreds of years later. Arthur could feel that a violent bloody storm was quietly brewing.
