Chapter Twenty-Eight: Seniors
Hayne thrust the blade into the other three pieces in turn, and the situation was pretty much the same. By the time he had opened the last piece, Hain's blade was so heavy that he couldn't swing it with ease. You must know that Hain trains hard every day, 365 days a year, except for injuries and tasks, he exercises whenever he is free. It doesn't seem to be tall, but it's definitely strong. Hain weighed the weight of the sword, "Ino! This weight is also above 100 catties. It's really hard to imagine how she turned into a big fat person. Hayne looked at the gate, and since the five chess pieces were open, then ...... He was looking forward to what was to come.
The gate of 'Boom ......' moved, things were a little simpler, the ruins were not full of danger as in the tomb robbery novels, but more like welcoming themselves. Hain stood at the foot of the slowly opening gate and looked up at the huge relief above his head, "Goodbye, what two good watchdogs." ”
He poked his head out and glanced at the door, which was only darker. Forget it, even hell has to go in and fight. Hain had just stepped into the door with one foot when a beastly roar made goosebumps stand on his body.
He slipped into the tomb quickly, looked back at the door, and the two relief wolf gods actually came to life and jumped down from the door. But the two wolves turned a blind eye to Hain. What the hell are they doing? Then the door slowly closed again. "Since you don't look down on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's blade is gone, don't even such beasts look at me in their eyes?" he muttered as he walked into the darkness. He looked back at the gate that was about to close, and the howl of the beast was incessant, and he didn't know what was happening outside, and he always felt as if a wisp of black smoke was following him.
The level of darkness here is not something that can be described without seeing five fingers, it is so dark that it seems to engulf everything in the world. "Ahem...... Ahem......" Hain coughed twice, and the tomb was not lit with torches like a long corridor.
Hayne lit a cigarette, which made the dark world glow a little. "What kind of place is this, not even a lamp?
A clear breeze blew across Hain's cheeks, and a refreshing sensation dispelled his doubts. "It's windy! It looks like the exit is near!"
"You junior, who are you talking about slamming the door?" A body shining with golden light came from the darkness, like a hope shining in the darkness, and Hain's eyes were completely attracted. "Ah......" The surprised expression was indescribable, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground at once.
"You...... You...... It's human...... Still ...... ghost," Hain asked stumbling.
"What do you think? You think I'm human, I'm human. If you think it's a ghost, it's a ghost. The man's white beard hung down like a waterfall to his waist like a waterfall. Slightly hunchbacked, wearing a white loose practice uniform, his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards Hain, looking like a grandmaster.
Hain rubbed his eyes and pinched himself! It seemed that he was still alive, why would he think he was dead, because this man had no legs, and floated through the air like a ghost. "I think so! You're not human, you're more like a ghost. Are you the owner of this place? I didn't mean to be here. There is a lot of disturbance, and the juniors have said goodbye. Hain stooped and prepared to turn and take his leave.
Hain turned around, but the old man was still in front of him, and no matter which way he went, the old man stopped in front of him. "It's not...... I've said it all, I didn't break in on purpose, you're so kind to stay, it's not okay! I still have something to do, I'll go first. Hain explained again, his tone a little anxious.
"Junior, you really didn't break in on purpose. ”
"That's it...... I explained it very clearly. ”
"You did it on purpose!!"
"Alas......" Hain let out a sigh, it seems that it is not so easy to leave, this ghost is quite fond of jokes. He simply went to the ground, and since he didn't go, he could only listen to the respect.
"Well! But he doesn't even turn on the light, what is it! How can there be such a hospitality, it can make people laugh when it spreads. Hain pouted, looking snubbed.
"Junior, you are also a guest I invited, you seem to have some truth in saying this!" The old man clapped his hands twice, and the tomb was instantly brightly lit, as if it were day. The colorful lights with different shapes and shapes are lit together as if they have heard a command. Hain's eyes were accustomed to the darkness, and the sudden light almost blinded him, and he could only cover his eyes.
It took him a moment before he came to his senses, "Oh......! This is ......," Hain stood up, "where is this burial chamber, is it clearly a palace, and now the palace of King O'Hagen is nothing more than that!" All cups, tables, walls, lights, and even stairs are made of crystal. In the middle of the first floor stands a statue made of crystal, this statue stands resolutely with a giant sword, with a majestic demeanor, bright eyes, and eyes shining with the domineering spirit of a king, which makes people want to bow down and bow.
"It's ...... Could it be...... You ......" Hain glanced at the statue, then at the old man. It's not like it at all, a king's style, and a reclusive old man who is more like a leisurely recluse.
"Why? Isn't it? That was when I was younger. Now, if I were alive, I would be more than 100 years old!"
"Alive, more than a hundred years old, are you really a ghost?" Hain thought a little incredulous.
"When you come to this mountain, don't you know the story of this mountain called 'Truth'? Aren't you here to find the truth? In a world where blades run rampant, I am the truth. ”
"Truth? This mountain is called 'Truth'! What a strange name. You're not really here to find the truth. I'm only here because of a mission. ”
Hain's words made the old man sad, and he hung his head and said, "Well, young man, you have broken my heart. But it doesn't matter if it's coming to me or not. You're all my favorite guest. ”
"Guest?"
"That's right! I sucked you into my dungeon, or you touched the trap yourself. ”
"Okay, old man, let's be honest, hasn't it been too long since I talked to you, and I'm lonely. It's okay, I'll talk to you, it's free. Hain teased the old man's ear.
"You junior! Do you know who I am?"
"You didn't say it, how do I know! I don't know divination. ”
"Well, those who don't know are not guilty, I am the only king of the Adela continent who once ruled the entire continent. The old man held his head high and proudly introduced.
"Well...... Who is the king who once unified the whole continent?"
The old man almost burst into tears of anger, "Are you illiterate?" Portia Cleveland probably hasn't heard of it either!" I really don't know what kind of world this person lives in.
"Haha...... Such a famous name! Hain covered his mouth with his right hand and coughed twice. "You guessed it right, I really don't know who it is? Could it be you, the former king of the whole continent?"
The old man really wanted to cry without tears, so he could only nod silently.
"Old man Cleveland, what are you inviting me to do?" Hain was no longer afraid of this ghost, because this old man had no murderous intent, and even if he was mostly humiliated, he was tepid, and he did not have the frame of a former emperor at all. It may be because he has passed away and seen through the fame and fortune in the world that he can have such a cultivation.
"You're funny, you're the funniest person I've ever had. I'm optimistic about you. ”
"I've had a lot of people come here before?"
"Well...... As a blade user, are you ...... Forget it, you definitely don't know. Cleveland knew that he wouldn't know if he said it, "My blade is the most powerful, and a lot of people want to get my spirit." So many people follow the legend and come to this mountain to find my tomb. ”
"First of all, I'm not a tomb robber!" Hain explained, with a cute expression.
"But even if the thugs bulldozed the mountain, they wouldn't be able to find it. Do you know why?"
"I know, it's because of your blade's abilities. I'm afraid this decoration is also the ability of your blade, right?"
"Boy, suddenly my brain is bright. That's right!"
"Then why did you let me in? There must be a lot of strange people who have found it here over the years, right?, am I anything special?" asked Hain.
"You! The old man patted the blade on his waist and said, "I let you in because I took a fancy to your affection for the blade." You see the blade not only as a weapon, but also as a dearest family member, a brother who shares weal and woe. It's your friendship that I love. ”
Hain was a little depressed and touched the hilt of the knife. "But...... I...... I lost this little cub. ”
"Haha!" the old man put his hand on Hain's chest, and Hain's veins suddenly glowed. Hain's eyes widened as he looked at this somewhat clumsy old man, who was sacred, and he easily probed into his veins.
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I imagined. You are a natural three-blade, and after absorbing a blade of my acquaintance, you are the user of the five blades. But ......"
"But...... But what?" Hain couldn't wait for the master's guidance.
"But you can't even use your blade abilities proficiently. Your veins are not fully opened, or your veins are sealed by a force that prevents them from being fully released. ”
"Cleveland-senpai, I don't care about any of this, I just want to know if there's a way to bring my 'Ino' back to life?" Hain knelt down in front of the old man, and his voice sounded three times in a row.
