CH. 473 Pilgrimage Mission
"The reason why I want to duel with you is mainly to test you and see how strong you are, but after watching your battle, I already know your strength, and there is no need to duel again. In other words, dueling is not my main purpose, I have come here with another mission. Amirgar retracted his smile and said.
"Why are you testing me, or what exactly is your mission?" Donk asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My mission is to bring you, or a genius swordsman of your calibre, to that tenth-order swordsman, who is eager to meet you people now."
"Who the hell is that tenth-order swordsman, and why would he want to see someone like me?"
"His name doesn't matter anymore, now everyone else calls him Juggernaut."
"Juggernaut?" Tang Ke's eyes widened and his pupils narrowed, "Could it be the Sword Saint who was invincible in the world five hundred years ago?" ”
"Yes, that's him." Amirgar nodded in acknowledgement.
Five hundred years ago, there was once a swordsman who reached the tenth rank and defeated all the strong men in the world with a single sword, and was called a sword master. He was also the last tenth-order swordsman in history, and no one could reach the tenth order after that. Five hundred years have passed, and he has been sealed in people's memories with the thickening of historical books, and has become a legend that makes people doubt it.
Everyone thought that the Sword Master had long since passed away, but they didn't expect this person to be alive.
If Juggernaut is an elf, it is not unusual to live for so long, but in the records, he is obviously a human.
Living for 500 years in a human body shows how tenacious the vitality of the Sword Master is.
Tang Ke was slightly taken aback, but after thinking about it, in the past few decades, he had never heard of anyone who could reach the peak of a swordsman, and if there was really a tenth-order swordsman in this world, it could not be someone else. It can only be a Juggernaut.
"Okay. I already know the identity of his old man, and now you can answer my second question, why would he see someone like me? Surprised, Donk continued to ask.
"Because my teacher is about to pass away, before he dies, he wants to meet the genius swordsmen in various places in this world, pass on the secrets of the tenth-order swordsman, and strive to create another tenth-order swordsman for the world." Amirgar's expression darkened.
"Juggernaut is your teacher?" Donk was taken aback again.
"Yes, when I reached the Seventh Order, I visited famous swordsmen everywhere and challenged them. Received the title of the First Day Genius Swordsman. My fame spread far and wide, and then it reached the ears of the Juggernaut, who found me, took me away, and taught me all kinds of skills. The reason why I have disappeared all these years is because I am studying with the Juggernaut teacher. ”
To be able to get a tenth-order swordsman as a teacher, Amirgar was really lucky, and even Tang Ke was a little jealous.
"You're a first-day swordsman, as long as the Sword Saint cultivates you well. Why summon any other swordsmen? Donk asked sourly.
"It's done to catch big nets and add a little hope. Even I may not be able to reach the tenth order, but for the sake of the whole world, the teacher always needs to cultivate a little more people. In his old man's words. It would be a pity if there wasn't even a tenth-order swordsman in the world. The way of a swordsman is like a spark that should be passed down from generation to generation, and should not be cut off from the world. Amirgarh explained.
"Is it that hard to become a tenth-order swordsman? Could it be that only by meeting him can you become a tenth-order swordsman? If you don't meet him, you can't do it? ”
"How difficult it is to become a tenth-order swordsman, just look at the number of tenth-order swordsmen in this world." Amirgar held out a finger, "One." My teacher is the only one in the world who has become a tenth-order swordsman, and he is still a tenth-order swordsman more than five hundred years ago, and since him, no one in this world can become a tenth-order swordsman. ”
"Why is that? As far as I know, in the past few hundred years, although there has not been a single tenth-order swordsman, there are still ninth-order swordsmen, why haven't they been able to go one step further and reach the peak of swordsmen. ”
"This is a secret, and it is also the reason why my teacher wants to meet people like you, and when you meet my teacher, he will naturally tell you everything and open the door to a tenth-order swordsman for you."
"You are his beloved apprentice, you must have known these secrets for a long time, why bother him with the old man to tell me, wouldn't it be easier for you to tell me personally?" Donk was happy to meet the dignified Juggernaut, but he was so busy that he didn't have much time to wander around.
"I do know this secret, but I can't tell you, this matter must be told to you by the Sword Saint himself."
"I can't help but ask again, why is that?"
"Because there are gods three feet above the head." Amirgar pointed meaningfully to the top of his head, "There are some words, some secrets, not just anyone can say. The tenth-order god can be slaughtered, and only the existence of the peak of my teacher is qualified and has the courage to tell that secret. If I had told you myself, I would have lost my life. ”
The air in the room seemed to suddenly tense a little, and an invisible pressure pressed on the top of the two of them, as if there was an unimaginably powerful being who was secretly staring at them and eavesdropping on their conversations.
"The secret of the tenth-order swordsman has already involved the gods?" Donk's throat moved, and his mouth was a little dry. He had never seen a god, but he had seen an artifact, and the resurrection fountain in his stomach was a product of the god, and through these artifacts, he could get a glimpse of the strength of the god, which was indeed not something that mortals could imagine.
"Yes, a tenth-order swordsman is no longer just a swordsman, behind this is the unknown history and secrets of this world, only by knowing these things, you can become a tenth-order swordsman. So, you have to go and meet my teacher in person. Amirgar said solemnly.
"In that case, I really have to go and see his old man." Tang Ke nodded, and then said tentatively, "Dare to ask, how is his old man's current condition, and his body is still strong?" ”
What he meant in his words was to ask how long the Sword Master would live, so that he could have a good idea in his heart.
Amirgar was not a fool, and naturally understood what Donk was saying, and he replied, "He is in very bad health, so to speak, he is seriously ill, and he has about three or five years to live. If you want to see him, you'd better leave as soon as possible. ”
"Three years and five years, that's quite enough. I should be able to make time to visit him. Donk was relieved a little, he would soon have to set out for the Fountain of Death, and there would be no time for this last fountain of resurrection.
"Alright, this matter is settled, and when you have time, go see the Juggernaut. His old man lives at the top of the Far North Mountain, which is commonly referred to as the world's first peak, and is easy to find. ”
"Oh, I made a note of it, isn't it...... Slowly. Cloud Mountain? You say Cloud Mountain? Donk didn't think about it at first, but then he came back to his senses, and Cloud Top Mountain was not a place that could be easily visited.
"Yes, he has always lived on the top of Yunding Mountain, where I have been learning art all these years."
"You're talking about it, it's the highest altitude and lowest temperature in the world, the mountain top is a biting cold wind all year round, and some fierce beasts are inhabited. It is listed as one of the top 10 forbidden places. And it's a long way from here, in the far north of the world, and you have to take a boat through the sea of ice floes and the territory of the ancient Vikings, which alone takes two months. Donk smiled wryly. Although the voyage was shorter than the journey to the east, it was full of dangers and the farther north it went, the colder it became, and it was much more difficult than the east.
in the seas of this world. The Sea of Dreams and the Sea of Jewels are the most active, and there are many sea routes extending in all directions, as well as many routes from the east and south. However, there are very few routes to the north, only a few. The climate in the north is cold, the location is remote, and there are few ports along the route for supplies. It is very difficult to get to the north, and there is not much business to do, so few people go.
The Far North is even more difficult to walk, which is equivalent to the North Pole, the northernmost part of the world, with no people, no grass, only a large white ice field. Yunding Mountain is in the extreme north, like a sharp dagger, directly inserted into the clouds, unattainable.
Tang Ke just briefly mentioned the situation of Cloud Peak Mountain, in fact, this mountain is even more terrifying than he described, even the most hot-headed adventurer in the world would not dare to venture there, because going there is not an adventure, but death!
"I know it's hard to go there, but there's no way, you can't let his old man deign to come to see you, right? And climbing to the top of the mountain is also a test for you, you can only prove yourself by climbing to the top of the mountain and get the recognition of the sword master. Amirgar shrugged.
"Okay. Yunding Mountain is Yunding Mountain, and walking back and forth on this mountain, I have another capital to brag about. Donk had no choice but to accept it.
As soon as the words fell, a prompt sound sounded in Tang Ke's mind, and a prompt box popped up.
"Ding! You have inspired a pilgrimage quest with the goal of meeting the Juggernaut on Cloud Mountain and learning the secrets of a Tier 10 Swordsman, with a reward of 9,000 bonus points. ”
The prompt sound is familiar, the content is quite novel, and it is the first time that Donk has received such a task.
It is easy to go to a place to meet a person, but it is difficult to go to this place, and it is even more difficult to meet this person.
Quest rewards are often tied to the difficulty of the task, and you can see how tricky the quest can be from this high reward point.
Fortunately, Donk has always been a person who is not afraid of challenges and will not be intimidated by this difficulty. Over the years, his feet have been dancing on the blade, and his head has been pinned to the waistband of his trousers!
"With your strength, you shouldn't be stumped by Cloud Mountain. The scenery there is very nice, white and snowy, and when you go there, you can not only see my teacher, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery. Amirgarh said with a smile.
"I'm not interested in beautiful scenery, the only thing that really attracts me is the secret of the tenth-order swordsman." Donk said disapprovingly.
"Those secrets, when you get to Yunshan Mountain, you will naturally be able to know."
"Actually, it's not just the secrets of the tenth-order swordsman, I also want to know some of the secrets of the ninth-order swordsman, there are many rumors about the ninth-order swordsman in this world, but it's true or not, and I don't know which statement is true. As a student of the Sword Master, you must know what a true ninth-order swordsman is like. ”
"I can't tell you the secrets of the tenth-order swordsman, but I can know everything about the ninth-order swordsman, if you want to hear it, I'll talk to you."
The swordsman profession has multiple thresholds, the third order is a threshold, the fifth order is a threshold, and the seventh order is another threshold. Now that Tang Ke has become a seventh-order swordsman, the next threshold he will face is the ninth-order threshold, and it is rumored that after the swordsman reaches the ninth order, he can have some new powerful abilities.
Regarding the ability of the ninth-order swordsman, there are many rumors and theories in the world.
When Tang Ke exchanged experiences with Kilo back then, because his strength was still very low, he only talked about the seventh-order swordsman, and didn't talk too far. His understanding of swordsmen was at most limited to that of seventh-order swordsmen, and he knew very little about the situation after the eighth-order, just hearsay that some untrustworthy rumors were hearsay.
Amirgar was a student of the Sword Master, and when it came to swordsmanship, he had enough authority that the words that came out of his mouth were no longer hearsay, but iron-clad facts.
Tang Ke took a deep breath and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
Amirgar nodded, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then opened the chatterbox, and said Taotao: "The seventh-order swordsman can release the sword aura, and the eighth-order swordsman can further expand this ability, increasing the area of the sword aura several times, but it will not add new abilities." Only by becoming a ninth-order swordsman can a swordsman further gain new abilities, and he can obtain two abilities at once. ”
"What ability?" Donk's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.
"One ability is called 'Light Slash' and the other is called 'Sky Eye', these two abilities complement each other, which can make the swordsman's strength increase by leaps and bounds, reaching the point where the sword must be hit and no one can dodge."
"Light slash, heavenly eye...... I have seen these words in books about swordsmen, and it seems that some books are not written randomly."
"Yes, in fact, there are many books about swordsmen, and the explanation of these two abilities is also very clear, but there are too many fabricated news in this world, which makes the true and false news confused, making it unclear. Now that you've seen these two abilities in the book, do you need me to explain them to you any more? ”
"I don't believe in those books, I only believe in you, anyway, if you're idle, you can tell me more." Of course, Donk can't let go of such a rare opportunity. (To be continued......)
