Chapter 269: The Hero's End
The meeting was rather boring, and the discussion was nothing more than how much food and how much money each lord had produced.
The lords quarreled without grace. Concerned about personal interests, they must fight for a copper and make no concessions.
On the border issue between the duchy and the Aoraki Kingdom, Prince Burville was also vague, although it was said that the two sides had a truce, although it was said that the Thunder Sword Saint had mediated some time ago, there were still occasional frictions, so that the Grand Duke could not be completely reassured.
They have been fighting for hundreds of years, and stabbing in the back is a common occurrence, especially now that King Aoraki is too young to act recklessly and ignorantly, the Grand Duke is unable to fully focus on Darvel Fortress.
However, after quarrel, everyone has a consensus that the undead in the south are a great disaster for the whole human race, and they must be solved first.
Especially even the heavy news of the fall of the Full Moon Sword Saint is at the bottom, so the debate at the meeting has a bottom line, although it is fierce and abnormal, but it has never collapsed.
This kind of war of words has always been very annoying to Rollin, but he also knows that it is necessary, so he does not speak, just listens quietly.
This meeting lasted for half a day, and after half a day, a basic agreement was barely reached, but the details still need to be negotiated, and it is estimated that most of the time after this state banquet will ∝be ↗ used for meetings.
Seeing that the meeting was about to end, Luo Lin spoke: "As the Earl of Maple Leaf, I have just arrived in the territory, but my territory is still quite rich, and this disaster of the dead is already the catastrophe of the continent, so I hereby announce that I will support the Grand Duke without reservation." Over the next six months, I will send enough food to Darvel Fortress in batches for 100,000 men and horses to feed a year's worth of food. ”
This kind of strength support is almost the limit of Rollin's current strength. Indeed, it can be said that it is all it takes. Without reservations.
He did. It is to set an example and convey a message that the undead in the south are extremely dangerous, and now is not the time to hide their secrets.
The Grand Duke glanced at Luo Lin gratefully and praised: "Good! I, the Lehman family, will remember the great contribution of Earl Maple Leaf. ”
The other noble lords had different faces, but they all had contemplation in their eyes. Prince Burville and Coron, in particular, talked in whispers, exchanging their views.
The meeting ended in silence. The various lords walked away with their hearts full.
Luo Lin was called to a meeting as soon as he came to Fire Lion City, and he hadn't rested yet, so the Grand Duke didn't keep him, and asked the attendants to take him to the Green Mansion in the city.
If there were no accidents, there would definitely be a meeting in the next few days, but Rollin had already made it clear, so he didn't bother to attend, and only called his housekeeper Jonny to attend on his behalf and record some important information.
He had a valid reason for doing so, because it was early the next morning. The Red Moon Sword Saint asked people to call him to meet him at the lakeside castle. It wasn't anyone else who came, but Zacquero.
The Red Moon Sword Saint is highly respected. His invitation must not be refused.
Fire Lion City is still very safe, so Rollin did not wear battle armor, wore a light leather suit, took his sword, and rode a horse to rush out of the city with Zacrow.
"How is the old man doing lately?" Rollin asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Zacrow frowned and shook his head: "Don't hide it from you, it's getting worse and worse recently." ”
"Oh." Luo Lin is not surprised, the Red Moon Sword Saint is really old, and compared to the time in the game in his previous life, it is almost the same.
"The mentor is looking for you this time, it should be to instruct you in martial arts. Wait, don't let him get tired. Zacrow instructed.
"I understand." Rollin nodded.
After that, along the way, the two chatted casually, most of them were about some martial arts, Zacrow intended to ask for advice, and Luo Lin also gave a few words, not much, but they were all insightful, and the two chatted quite harmoniously.
Soon arrived at the lakeside castle, and there was already someone at the door to greet him, and it was also an acquaintance, it was Angela, the daughter of the Grand Duke. She was dressed in a military uniform, her long hair was cut into ear-length short hair, and she stood at the door with a sword, and when she saw Rollin, she smiled and said, "Long time no see, Earl." ”
"Not long, just a few months." Luo Lin smiled, looked Angela up and down, and saw that her strength had improved again, and he was very satisfied, it seemed that he was not in vain.
"You come with me." Angela Road.
Zacrow then took his leave: "I'm busy with official business, so I won't go in." ”
Luo Lin followed Angela, walked along the familiar road, and finally arrived at the martial arts training ground, the field was still the same, but the old man in the field looked even weaker, really old Longzhong, and even the spirit was a little unable to hold on.
"You're here?" The Red Moon Sword Master almost collapsed on the chair next to him, and his eyes were a little cloudy.
Rollin didn't speak, but bowed his head and saluted.
"I had an illness the other day, and I felt like I wasn't doing it well. As you can see, I don't think I have many days left. The Red Moon Sword Saint said calmly.
Rollin didn't know how to answer, the other party seemed to have seen through life and death, and he didn't need to be comforted at all, so he just listened in silence, and Angela did the same.
"I don't have many regrets in my life. But lately I've been thinking about something. Juggernaut looked at Rollin.
Luo Lin said respectfully: "Please speak." ”
The Sword Master paused for a moment and continued: "I watched Angela, her martial arts have improved greatly, and she must have obtained the essence of your martial arts, which is very good. And I have two disciples in my life, but they are not very successful, without the assistance of external objects, there is no hope of promoting to the legend, so to speak, I have no real inheritor. ”
Speaking of this, the Juggernaut picked up a wooden sword beside him and threw it to Rollin, while he picked up the other one: "I heard that you have fought with Moro Vogen, tell me what you think of him." ”
Luo Lin recalled the situation at that time, and still had lingering palpitations: "Full Moon Sword Saint ......"
"The Full Moon Sword Saint is dead, he's just an undead." The Red Moon Sword Saint interrupted Luo Lin's words.
"Yes, Morovogen's swordsmanship is extremely exquisite, especially the Avalanche Jin, which is worthy of its reputation, and with the death magic condensed in his body, the power is amazing. If it weren't for the legendary life magic of the green dragon Vianna on my armor, I might not have been able to stop it with a sword. ”
The old sword saint nodded: "That's true, I studied with him back then." Although there is no winner or loser. But I felt a tremendous amount of pressure. If you keep fighting, the victory or defeat is unpredictable. You played the situation with him that day, you can show me. ”
After speaking, the old sword master picked up the wooden sword, and he seemed to become energetic all at once.
Luo Lin nodded, holding the wooden sword and stabbing towards the old sword saint, the sword almost did not have any strength, and the speed was as slow as possible. Just copy your own sword moves that day,
'Click' wooden swords intersected, and a strange force of extreme clarity came from the opponent's wooden sword, Luo Lin suddenly had an illusion of standing on the churning waves, standing unsteadily, fortunately this power is not strong, so Luo Lin must be divine, so he stabilized.
"If you think about it, you only have one time." The old sword saint Parasson's voice was very solemn, yes. Just once, he was dying. This is already the last bit of strength he has retained.
Luo Lin immediately concentrated, and immediately felt that everything around him was quiet, and there was only a sword in his heart, only the condensed power flowing on the sword.
Under the influence of this kind of strength, Luo Lin felt how awkward he was with his sword, and he could not shoot smoothly, and he could not exert seventy percent of his strength.
Finally, the twenty-one swords of the day were finished, and when the two wooden swords clashed for the last time, there was a 'click', and the sword body finally couldn't bear the strength of it, and it broke, and the break was full of fragments.
The old swordmaster also completely collapsed in his chair, panting hard. Rollin was silent, not even changing his posture, he was reminiscing about the confrontation just now.
Just now, the flow of the old sword saint's strength was extremely clear, and he deliberately slowed down his movements, so Luo Lin could clearly feel the subtlety of it.
The strength of the waves and the strength of the dripping water, the two seem to be different, but there is something to figure out faintly, which feels indescribable, but it is enough to make Luo Lin forget about the things around him and fall into it.
At first, he stood motionless for more than an hour before he suddenly pulled out his soul to refine the Heavenly Sword and practiced in the martial arts training ground.
At first, he felt that someone was watching him in the martial arts training field, but he ignored it. After an unknown amount of time, it got dark, and he ignored it either. In the end, it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything when he reached out his fingers, but Luo Lin already knew the terrain of the martial arts training ground well, and he walked in the darkness like a ghost.
At the beginning, he stopped practicing a few swords, and slowly, the sword became smoother and smoother, and the flow of power in it became more and more free. Until late at night, although there was a thick ink around him, there was a bright light quietly lit up in his heart.
The sword came out and the sword returned, all silently, but the air in this martial arts training ground was stirred by some kind of force, and the wind rose, blowing up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, and it continued to rotate and rotate around Luo Lin, just like an earth dragon.
The wind kept blowing, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the earth dragon kept spinning, and I don't know how long it took, there was a sword light flashing in the darkness, and then a qiē power in the void suddenly dissipated, the wind disappeared and the leaves fell, and Luo Lin was surrounded by a circle of fine dust, and for a moment, a bright light flashed on the sword in his hand.
This light is like water waves, but among the water waves, there are whirlpools of different sizes flowing by, pulling out a smooth, delicate, and flamboyant curve of light and shadow, containing an indescribable beauty of power.
Almost at the same time, a message came from the brain.
Comprehend Martial Arts: Vortex Strength.
20% increase in power utilization.
Gain 10000 experience.
Your level has increased by one level, and your current level is 38.
It's 38, Luo Lin is not surprised, he has benefited a lot from the battle against a continent peak martial artist like Morovogen, and he has been instilled with life magic by Vianna in the battle, and the potential value is only stronger than in the past, and now he takes the opportunity to comprehend the new martial arts to upgrade in one fell swoop, which is very normal.
Level 38, wearing the legendary elf armor, the strength will reach about 540, which is only two levels away from the level 40 legendary realm.
'Papapa' There was applause from the darkness, and then a torch was lit, and Rollin turned his head to see that the Sword Master and Angela were still standing in the martial arts training ground waiting.
The Sword Master looked very weak, but his face was full of smiles: "The sword light is like the sea, unfathomable. Morovogen's sword is called Silver Moon, what is your sword called? ”
Luo Lin looked at the Soul Refining Open Heaven Sword in his hand, and felt that the name Open Heaven was too domineering, but it lost a charm, which did not match his strength, and recalled the exquisite sword light flowing on the sword before, he spoke: "Vortex strength, cloud pattern sword." ”
"Good! That's all for today, you and Angela are gone. "The Red Moon Sword Saint has issued an eviction order.
Angela looked at the old Sword Saint's weak appearance, a little uneasy, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Sword Saint waving his hand: "Let's go, I want to be quiet." ”
There was no way, Luo Lin and Angela could only leave the martial arts training ground, and the Sword Master didn't say anything about staying guests, so the housekeeper sent the two directly to the gate of the lakeside castle.
The two of them could only ride horses and rush back to Fire Lion City late at night.
Early the next morning, news came from outside the city that the Red Moon Sword Saint had passed away.
For a time, the whole country was shocked. In this regard, Luo Lin had a premonition, and after hearing the news, he just sighed, and another immortal hero came to an end.
The founding celebration of the principality, which was just halfway through, was directly canceled and replaced with the funeral of the Sword Saint. The noble lords who had been arguing about the undead of the Southern Expedition collectively lost their voices, and everyone felt a deep sense of crisis, and the process of the meeting began to speed up considerably. The lords began to fully support the Grand Duke.
On the night of the funeral, Luo Lin returned to the Green Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he realized that something was wrong, the hall was too quiet, and he sniffed, but there was no smell of blood.
Just as he was in doubt, a tall figure wrapped in a cloak of animal skins came out of the staircase, and a deep voice came out: "Count Rollin, we meet again. (To be continued......)
