Chapter 135: Your Excellency the Busy Lord (3)
The four of them quickly found the chiseled stone staircase that swirled up and walked up to the stone platform several meters high. The stone platform was empty, and only the long sword that was inserted diagonally into it stood alone. The silver glittering sword revealed a dazzling crystal under the white light, and under the reflection of the hedron all over the stone cave, only the golden hilt could be clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.
"This scene looks familiar......" Green looked at the scene ahead, and a disgusting image involuntarily appeared in his mind. He looked back cautiously, lest some strange creature jump out shouting twelfth-century stupid legends.
Of course, it wasn't a problem with the sword, Green thought about it, and it was probably the fault of the crutches.
"Your Highness Green, do you feel familiar too?"
Both Assesis and Samael stopped to watch, and only Albert responded. It's just that he didn't expect him to show the same surprised expression, which in Green's opinion, is a bit of a contempt for others. However, when the young lord, who was originally a little unhappy, turned his head and looked at the black magic guide, he found that this time it was the black magic guide, and he felt unexpected.
"It doesn't look very much like curry...... Well, I mean the Sword of the Chosen One. Green coughed dryly, and temporarily reversed the words that were wrong with history, "This is probably the sword stuck in the stone...... Then again, why are you so excited? β
Albert was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but he probably understood what Green meant.
Well...... Your Highness is in a good mood today......
"Exactly! I also think this is the holy sword held by the founding emperor of the Barron Empire," the voice of the mage was a little excited, causing the other Grimm and Samael to show puzzled expressions at the same time, "Although I have seen your extensive knowledge for a long time, even if I have seen it in ancient books, it is a hand-painted pattern after all. It's amazing that you can recognize the real thing at a glance. β
Different from the teasing in the past, this time Albert was sincerely admired.
But that didn't diminish Green's suspicions in any way.
"I'm just guessing based on the description, and I probably just happened to be right, but I'm curious how you know for sure?" He leaned over and fixed himself in Albert's eyes. The Black Wizard realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to escape. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Assesis, who was observing the long sword, happened to stand behind Albert, and his thick arms suddenly blocked his way.
"Explain?" The young lord raised an eyebrow.
Albert glanced hatefully at Commander Kunali, and before he could turn around, he began to rack his brains for a reply, "...... Well...... You know, mages, after all, are people who like to study academics, and sometimes when they are involved in other fields, they will naturally read a little more books, and they will ...... when they look at it Uh......"
Noticing Green's gaze getting closer, more and more unkind. Albert suddenly felt his mouth stammer, and finally like a deflated ball, he had to give up his excuses.
"Okay, well, I've actually seen this sword."
This answer was more in line with Green's expectations, so he stood and nodded, "Go on." β
Albert secretly rolled his eyes, and sighed in his heart that this prince was difficult enough, but he didn't know that this action was learned from Green.
"Exactly. I've seen a replica of the Sword of the Chosen One. The Black Wizard paused, his gaze on the crystal sword. Just like the Flame Shadow Sword you once wore, modeled after Master Kulan's Spark Heavenly Dragon Sword, the Sword of Wang Xuan, as a famous holy sword in the world, naturally has no shortage of imitations. In the legend of the Middle Ages, the two holy swords once held by the founding emperor of the empire are inextricably linked to the mysterious Lake Avalon. The mages of Endymion could not find Lake Avalon, so they had to copy the Holy Sword in the hope of finding it. β
"But if this is the world-famous holy sword, it is inevitably lacking in aura, right?" Seeing the satisfied expression on Green's face, Samael had a chance to express his opinion. From the moment he stepped onto the stone platform, this question was in his mind. "The sword of power that claims to be able to sense the supreme bloodline and select the true king, is it too shabby to be inserted here? I'll admit that the hedras here are all very valuable, but compared to the Sword of the King's Choice, it still seems to be more than a star and a half behind, right? β
His words caught the attention of the two of them, and Green and Albert looked at Samael together, and had to admit that he had a point.
"I thought berserkers were all tendons, but I didn't expect there to be people with sharp minds."
Albert secretly expressed surprise to Green in his heart, causing Green to complain.
"Do you think berserkers' brains are made of muscles? Is there no exception? Thinking that Kunali can produce a commander like Assess, what do you think is impossible in the world? β
Master Hu suddenly realized, and said yes again and again.
"In addition, although that holy sword is indeed inextricably linked to Avalon in legends, it stands to reason that it has not been taken by the great sage emperor?" Samael looked at the sword that was crooked and stuck on the ground, and the expression of doubt on his face was obvious, "According to this development, this sword should be in the palace of the Barron Empire." β
Green had an appreciative look on his face, which seemed to be an affirmation of Samael's first expression.
But the black-haired youth was surprised to see Green and immediately shook his head.
"You're right, Samael, and I think with your knowledge, I'm afraid I'm not going to be the child of a small aristocratic family in the Kingdom of Wilts," said Green, standing in front of the group, his sword turned away, and the map in his hand raised. The dazzling light shone on the parchment from the side, making the pattern on the back side stand out, "Unfortunately, if what you know is a fallacy, your analysis will inevitably be fundamentally wrong." β
"First of all, as the world speculates, the Sword of the King's Choice should have an extraordinarily magnificent appearance, even if it is not a palace full of gold and jade, at least it will be a holy light from the sky, but unfortunately, in fact, when the Sage Emperor obtained the Sword of the King's Choice, the treatment was actually no better than an enchanted weapon. It is rumored that the emperor of the empire easily pulled out the holy sword in this stone under the attention of tens of thousands of people, after the foreshadowing of several losers, but in fact, you may not think that when he obtained the sword of the king's choice, the wolf was unbearable, and he pulled out the holy sword at will just to drive away a hungry wolf that was chasing him. β
"Second, the Empire does still possess the Emperor's weapon, and it is indeed the real Sword - not a copy, but as Albert says, the Emperor actually holds two Sacred Sword, and sometimes people tend to confuse them, so that whatever sword the story belongs to, it will eventually remain on the one that people can see."
Green's eloquent remarks moved all three of them, including Assesses. Especially Samael, as a traditional aristocratic class, hearing Green's "rebellious" speech, dumbfounded is the best interpretation of his current expression.
"Look at this map," Green motioned to them, "do you see that?" This is the Holy Grail, the personal emblem of the Emperor's ancestors, and the 'treasure' mark on the map. Actually, I thought it was two faces looking at each other at first, and Samael, you saw the truth, but unfortunately you couldn't recognize it,"
ββ¦β¦ So you mean, that's it, the sword of the Chosen One? β
It was so unbelievable that Samael's voice was even a little out of tune.
Green felt as if something was flowing behind him, and when he turned around, only the longsword was left in his vision, "I'm not sure." β
As he spoke, he stepped toward the sword.
"According to legend, the reason why the Emperor of the Empire was able to hold two holy swords was not that he was good at the second sword stream, or that he had any special combat skills that could use two holy swords at the same time," Green slowly moved forward, the white light became more and more intense, but it didn't have any impact on his vision, "I think you all know that all weapons that can be called holy swords, divine swords, or magic swords are actually weapons with laws that are quite good, and such blades have strict requirements for users, especially divine swords and magic swords, There will even be certain side effects, even if he is one of the three sages and emperors, but with only a human body, it is still too reluctant to control the two holy swords. β
Every word of the young lord represents a step forward for him. The three people behind stood not far away, listening to his words and watching him move forward, but they had the illusion that their hearts were shaking and the distance was infinitely stretched.
For a moment, Samael's greed soared, and he wanted to rush forward and draw the holy sword.
But he quickly suppressed his impulse.
Because in the midst of hesitation, reason hit his greatest weakness - as Green said, the holy sword is not something that ordinary people can handle. He didn't have the confidence to become a king, nor did he think that his strength could suppress the Holy Sword, so what could he do even if he rushed over? After all, he can't even control a mere rage, so where can he get the capital to subdue the holy sword?
Samael couldn't help but smile wryly.
But the more this happened, the more curious he became.
What kind of Cheng dΓΉ will this teenager do?
The four of them left the territory and ran into the forest to help Grimm find a sword to bear, and if this was really the world-famous sword of the king's choice, would he be able to pull it out?
Then, in his anticipation, he heard the last words of Green before he stretched out his right hand.
"There is actually only one reason why the Emperor holds two holy swords."
The boy stood still, looking down at the crooked holy sword, like someone casually throwing garbage here.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Green raised his right hand and pressed the golden hilt of the sword, the blade of which trembled and wailed at him as if it had responded to the call of a hundred years.
"That's because he's never held two holy swords at the same time."
Without much effort, Green simply clenched and raised his arms. With a soft click, the dazzling light dimmed, and Green turned around, and in the shocked gaze of the three of them, he leaned his sword blade forward with unusual calm-
"This sword of the king's choice is broken." (To be continued......)
