From an unknown knight's sword, will Empress Hippo know the origin of this sword?

Tianxian thought about it for a while, thinking that this is also unlikely, as far as the current situation is concerned, Hippo and Balk are in the same situation, and the person who really built this sword will not put himself in this situation, and Hippo herself has been imprisoned in the Eastern Sea for nearly two thousand years, she will definitely not be the person behind the scenes.

As for the name of the god, Tianxian's heart began to become heavier and heavier, because the name was either made up by the knight himself, or ...... It is that the name of that deity itself is fake.

Although it is said that the name represents the soul imprint, this situation has gradually become rare since the successive fall of the first generation of ancient gods, but the names of the gods are not taken randomly, and names such as Zhang San, Li Siwang, and Er Mazi do not exist.

The names of the ancient gods are derived from the names of the previous generations of ancient gods, and because the lifespan of the gods is almost permanent, the entire era of the gods is only a few generations of gods, so even at the end of the war of the gods, the names of the gods no longer have the power of soul imprints, but they still carry a certain part of the names of the first generation of ancient gods.

According to which ancient god it was and which part of the name of this ancient god, the ancient gods were divided into many factions, some of which were very loose and only nominal, while others were very united, like a tribe.

No matter which god it is, the name can't escape this rule.

For example, the first generation of the ancient giant god, the ancient is just his general name, his full name is very long, and he has collected several elements of the world as the whole of the name, and "the ancient world" is the meaning of life in the ancient gods.

In later generations, anyone who can inherit a lineage of gods in the name of the ancient gods is a direct descendant of the ancient gods, and some subordinate gods who serve him can inherit the rest of his name and add it to their full name, which is the inheritance of the name.

The number of the first generation of ancient gods is very limited, so it can be said that the gods of later generations can be divided into several major factions according to the number of the first generation of ancient gods.

But the name of the god that Balk was talking about not only did not have any part of the name of the first generation of ancient gods, but even Tianxian couldn't even find out which god he was related to.

Obviously, this is a pseudonym!

You know, although the soul mark of the name has disappeared at that time, if you want to conclude a contract, you must use your real name, and the unique magic of the name still exists.

Pseudonyms can't make contracts, let alone give people divine powers, and Balk is either lying or there's something else going on about it.

However, Tianxian felt that it was more likely that Balk was lying, after all, it was impossible for him not to understand the rules of the names of the ancient gods, and it was impossible for him not to detect such an obvious pseudonym.

And since he lied, it also shows that there is something else in this matter.

Tianxian thought about it for a while, Balk was afraid that he would not give him any more information, so now the only breakthrough could only be placed on his sword, but that sword did not seem to be easy to find clues, just now Balk was very generous and threw it over, not minding to take it for a closer look.

Empress Hippo?

Tian Xian immediately rejected this choice, and in comparison, Hippo was even less likely to tell himself the inside story.

Frowning, Tian Xian walked out of the temple while thinking, and suddenly became embarrassed, he didn't expect Balk to give himself a soft closed door so neatly, he seemed to say something, but in fact, he didn't say anything and left, and he didn't even leave a surprised and panicked look, and he didn't reveal a trace of clues.

Ginger is still old and spicy......

While thinking of a way, Tian Xian walked in annoyance, but suddenly, after being stunned for a moment, he turned around, and his eyes were a little straight staring at a small tea shop on the side of the road not far away.

It was a very ordinary tea shop, with a few tea tables, a big pergola, and the surrounding mother vines were led to the pergola to reinforce, and there were countless such tea shops in the Fire Leaf City, all of which were places for foreign merchants to rest and talk about business.

And now, a strange-looking guy is sitting there, as if drinking stuffy wine, drinking herbal tea one by one, that looks like a gambler who has lost money, and he is not afraid to go home, the bitterness, grievances are exposed, filling the entire tea shop, so that the people around him stay away, this noon is hot, there are many people in the tea shop, and there is no one at the three tables around him......

Duke?

Tianxian almost felt that God was joking with himself!

It's amazing that Balk is so blatantly wandering the streets, this Duke, who is a secret existence of the Holy Spirit Temple, is drinking tea in the tea shop in broad daylight, and in full view of everyone.

The fiery red hair, the casual sloppy dress, I looked at it for a while, and then I was sure that this was the ruler of the Holy Spirit Temple, Duke.

Tian Xian walked over quickly, threw a few gold coins to the boss and told him not to ask anything, and then slowly sat down opposite Duke.

Duke looked at the table with straight eyes, and after sitting down for a while, he realized that there was another person in front of him, and then suddenly screamed, "It's you!!"

Tianxian's hairs stood on end when he was frightened by this strange scream, and he smiled reluctantly, "This...... What a coincidence, it turns out that you are also drinking tea. ”

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Duke's gaze at Tian Xian was incomparably strange, unbelievable, heartbroken, absurd, and even doubtful The taste of life was revealed from those bull's eyes, and it was the first time that Tian Xian knew that such a rough man could have such delicate eyes like a little woman.

"You...... It's you!" Duke grinned at the corners of his mouth, speaking in a far-fetched and painful tone, "it's you...... Isn't that right!?"

It's inexplicably wonderful, "What...... What am I?"

Duke slapped his hands on the table and stood up, his flaming hair trembled rapidly, and the frightened guests in the tea shop looked over, and the boss hurriedly reminded him from the table to the table, explaining the identity of the day's leisure, and everyone was quiet again in disbelief.

"You...... You ......," said Duke, gritting his teeth and hating in a very small voice, "Empress Hippo...... It's you, you've found her, haven't you?"

Hippo, Tian Xian just reacted, has this guy already seen Hippo?

In this regard, there is no surprise that Tian Xian is idle, although there is a special enchantment protection there, but Hippo has no consciousness of being protected, although she will not wander around like Balk, but she also wants to go wherever she wants, and it is reasonable to be bumped into by someone.

When I think about it, isn't this just someone who comes to deliver pillows when I'm sleepy? This is the person I'm looking for now!

But before Tianxian could speak, Duke had already pounced on him like a hungry tiger and grabbed Tianxian's hands violently.

The hands were extremely rough, and the grasp of Tianxian shook slightly, looking at the excited look in Duke's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Thank you...... Thank you!" Duke choked up a few times.

Tianxian was stunned to see a little tear in the corner of his eye, this guy actually cried.

"Uh...... This, politely...... It's nothing, it's all I should do, anyway...... It's okay to let go first. Tian Xian struggled a few times, but Duke's hands were like tongs, and he held them tightly, and Tian Xian even began to notice the strange eyes around him.

"Thank you...... Thank you...... For so many years, we, we ......" Duke had red eyes, and his suppressed voice echoed in the tea shop like a broken bellows, and Tianxian felt that the gaze around him was even more weird.

God is pitiful, tomorrow's gossip, I'm afraid there will be a young and handsome fire leaf city tea shop private meeting burly man's eyes, and there may be a young and handsome duke around him with countless faces, but the wedding has not been held for a long time......

You're going to let it go......

Tian Xian reluctantly used a little demonic power to forcibly flick Duke's hand away, Duke was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't react, but he didn't care, he clasped his hands in prayer, "Thank you very much, thank you for saving Empress Hippo, this is definitely a matter of great significance, I believe that the Empress will give us the right guidance again in the near future, thank you." ”

Although Tian Xian did not think that Hippo could give Duke any correct guidance, Duke's attitude was very happy to see Tian Xian.

Raising the corners of her eyes slightly, Tian Xian coughed, "Don't thank me, I also have some considerations for my own interests, of course I won't restrict any of her actions, but she doesn't seem to want to leave now." ”

Duke breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I thought so too, although her appearance has changed, she is still as charismatic and majestic as before, there must be something deep about her decision, I will wait for the day when she returns." ”

Tianxian thought to himself that this was really sent to the door, and if Tianyu didn't take it, he would be blamed.

"It seems that she must have been loved back then. ”

"Of course!" Duke's expression became solemn, "boy, you have not lived through that era, you don't understand what life is like like a weed, and even more so human life, even those of us think the same way, only she, only Empress Hippo, she is the true Sage, kind, generous, and powerful. ”

"Merciful...... I guess so. Tian Xian sighed, "No wonder she has a big prejudice against Balke." ”

Duke's eyes moved slightly, and he looked gloomy, "Balk...... It's no surprise that there were a lot of us at the beginning, but now ...... Seeing this, the Empress was already extremely merciful not to kill him. ”

"Balk's sword ......," Tian Xian paused, "does his sword have any special origin?"

Duke was stunned for a moment, "What are you asking for?"

"Because Empress Hippo seems to have said that she would take back his sword, was that sword given to him by Empress Hippo?"

Duke frowned deeply, "Did the Empress say that...... Alas, actually...... He can't be blamed completely, after all, he just obeyed orders and couldn't disobey. ”

Can't disobey the faint feeling of the day, this can't be disobeyed...... There seems to be something special about it.

"How strict are your oaths, and must you not hesitate to raise your butcher's knife to your companion?" asked Tian Xian, puzzled.

Duke suddenly laughed miserably, "Little ghost, each of us is different, but Balk is one of the more special ones, each of us paid the price to survive, and he paid the price...... And then he died forever, but he still walked in this world, like a living man, do you know why?"

"Undead?"

"Haha......" Duke smiled mysteriously, "Undead?do you think that kind of low-level thing will have anything to do with him?The power of the undead was popular in the short period of time when the divine power disappeared, but with the appearance of the stigma, the divine power was revived in another form, and this power that could not be put on the table immediately disappeared, haha...... Boy, you think of the undead. ”

Duke picked up the herbal tea on the table, poured it down, and laughed in a low voice, "Speaking of which, he is just like his former friends, although he died, he remained in this world forever. ”

Tian Xian's heart was suddenly slightly startled, the light flashed in his mind, and some thoughts surged, but there was no way to catch it for a while.

"Has the Empress taken his sword?" said Duke, staring blankly at the sky.

Tianxian shook his head.

Duke sneered, "Of course, although the Empress is angry, she really won't do that, there is no one in this world who is more merciful and considerate of others, even Balk...... She wouldn't really want his life either. ”

What? Kill him? Balk is already dead! Tianxian was shocked again.

"But, whatever, the Empress is back, the days ahead should be easier, at least we won't be like headless flies anymore, now is just waiting for her to take over the Holy Spirit Temple sooner, and then I will definitely be the first to return to the Empress's command." ”

Duke was full of emotion, and nodded with his thick fingers, "Please be sure to convey this point to the Empress for me." ”

Tian Xian nodded, and was about to raise some topic, but Duke seemed to have lost interest in talking, "If you don't mind my stay in the city, I still want to have a few cups of tea here, you ...... It's OK to go. ”

"I'm not going to give away anyone else's information. Duke added.

Tian Xian knew that Duke was talking about other rulers, and he appeared here, so it was obvious that other rulers had invaded Fire Leaf City.

This made Tianxian a little helpless, in fact, he didn't want to ask about those things at all, but about Balke......

Suddenly, Tianxian was completely stunned, staring at Duke in amazement, the words that Duke said just now were like broken pieces, quickly combined in his mind, and the flash of spiritual light swirled around, illuminating the true faces of these casual people.

The first person he killed was himself!!

What Duke meant was that he killed himself with that sword, and his soul resided in that sword, and his body was ...... It's just an illusion!

He chose eternal death and walked in this world in another form, constantly pulling his former companions to his side...... He did die, like the Dominators he slain, but remained in this world forever.

That sword is the real Balk Knight!
