Chapter 41: The Awakening of the Demon Sword
The method of purifying the cursed weapon is not complicated, it is basically to attract the divine power of the heavenly realm and wash the weapon.
The power that produces curses generally comes from the evil and the like, and this power and the divine power of the heavenly realm can be described as incompatible.
Weapons are generally relatively strong, as long as you grasp the weight of attracting divine power, don't lose your mind and attract too much at once, there will be no problem.
But this time, things are different.
Everyone attracted divine power and carefully washed the short knife, but the resentful will in the short knife did not disappear - although it became weaker, it was still there.
The doubtful priests had once again attracted divine power to cleanse it, but this time the resentful will had not even weakened.
"There's something weird about this knife. In desperation, they could only come to the conclusion that "Tiger, you better stop fighting its idea and change your weapon." ”
"What's the problem?" asked the tiger worriedly, "Many of the weapons that can be transformed into magic swords are cursed. If the curse of this knife can't be removed, I'm afraid other weapons won't be able to do it......"
"Aren't other weapons just curses!"
He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had asked a stupid question, and he couldn't help but feel funny.
While laughing, the panda picked up the short knife resting on the temporary altar and examined it carefully.
The knife didn't look like anything special, just a light, thin, slightly narrow scimitar. But when the panda held it, he felt a chill slowly flow into his body along the hilt of the knife, making him feel the cold.
He pressed the blade of the knife to his forehead, using his spirit to sense the knife. Immediately, I felt that there was a strong resentment contained in the short knife, which was creepy.
"By the way, Tiger, why did you decide to wash away its curse power?" he asked, "This knife is famous for its curse power." ”
"For a weapon to be transformed into a magic sword, an awakening ritual is required. The more pure and singular the spirituality inside the weapon, the higher the success rate of the Awakening Ritual. There are two completely different spiritual situations in a weapon like this, and the success rate of the awakening ritual will be very low. ”
The panda nodded, indicating that he understood.
He thought for a moment and asked, "If you want to let the curse of this sword overwhelm the spirituality and grow into the demon knife in the game, is it okay to just let it kill enough people?"
"That's right, but I'm not going to do anything like a human sacrifice sword, it's a matter of principle!" Tiger stressed, "It's a matter of principle!"
Panda smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't persuade you to change your principles." I mean...... As long as this knife kills enough people, it can grow into a demon knife. So, what if it kills people who can't die?"
The tiger was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
"If you don't mind dying once, I think you can try to take this knife into the forest and see if it kills you. Panda said, "We traversers can be resurrected, and I don't believe that the curse on this single knife can be more powerful than the mysterious power that allows us to travel and resurrect." In that case, what if it doesn't kill us?"
The tiger frowned and thought carefully.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up.
Hearing their conversation, Kazune and Sleepless also walked over.
"The idea of a panda is very interesting. "The curse of the demon knife is to kill everyone who walks into the forest with this knife in hand." But if it can't kill the other party no matter how it kills, then it will be helpless. In this case, there is a real possibility that the curse will dissipate on its own. ”
"I also agree, since it wants to kill, let it kill and see. Sleepless laughed, "If the demon knife had a spirit, I would love to know what kind of expression it would have when it found out that its new master was a freak who couldn't be killed." ”
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the tiger also made a decision: "In this case, then I will take it to the forest tomorrow to see how it will kill me." ”
"No, it's better to wait a few more days. Sleepless persuaded, "When I help you buy that knight's sword, awaken it into a magic sword, and then do experiments, it's too late." ”
"Yes, you have to gain something from going out all the way to the door. ”
So the matter was settled, and early the next morning, Sleepless and True Remnant put on the clothes of the servants, and asked the traverser with the "disguise" skill to help them put on makeup and go to the city of Tarakhan.
They came to the shop as "servants of Mr. Locke's house", and said that yesterday the master had taken a fancy to a knight's sword here, but had forgotten to buy it, and now he had come and bought it himself.
Of course, the shop guy didn't have any opinion on this, but the price of that sword was really not low, and he really couldn't cut the price for a long time, and in the end, he couldn't cut much of the price.
This made Zhen Nian very unhappy, and on the way back, he scolded and scolded, and kept complaining that this shop guy was too stingy, not a businessman, and a "Ha'er".
"If you do a business like him, you deserve to work for people all your life!" Finally, he made such an assertion in a tone of hatred that iron does not make steel.
After the knight's sword was bought, the tiger prepared to hold an awakening ceremony.
The spirit of this sword is not strong enough, but not strong enough also has the advantage of not being strong enough - less materials are consumed, and the success rate of awakening will be higher.
Although the awakened magic sword may also be weaker, no matter how weak it is, it is better than the one he is using now that has no other use except for being indestructible!
The weather was fine that night, and the tiger, after bathing and changing clothes, stood on the makeshift altar with the knight's sword in both hands.
This altar was remodeled from yesterday's one, removing the part that attracted divine power, adding a lot of expensive materials, and scattering a small handful of gold dust alone, worth more than a dozen gold coins.
And compared to the consumables used to enhance the spirit of the magic sword, the gems, these gold are nothing.
It's no wonder that in the original game, the profession of the master of the magic sword was famous for spending money, and it was claimed that non-krypton bosses could not play. Tiger is not a kryptonite boss, but in order to build his own set of magic swords, he has also used almost all the money he has saved over the years. If it weren't for everyone crossing over, maybe he would also have embarked on the path of constantly searching for excellent weapons, and then constantly awakening kryptonite.
The magic sword awakening ritual is not complicated, it is to let the tiger walk to the altar with the sword to be awakened, and then use his own sword soul to echo the spirituality of that sword, and then activate the power of the altar to extract all the spirituality in the gem to nourish the sword, and at the same time use the sword soul to transform it.
There were no spells or gestures, but countless golden rays of light were seen rising from the altar, eclipsing the gems and then all turning to dust.
Then, the ornate knight's sword rose from the tiger's hand, like a toddler, slowly cruising beside him. As time passed, the sword's cruising movements gradually became more flexible, and a bright blue light emanated from the sword's body, gradually enveloping it in it.
After another moment, the tiger, which had been holding the ritual with its eyes closed, opened its eyes.
He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the knight's sword automatically flew in front of him, and he grabbed it.
Then, like a phantom, his whole body rushed to at least twenty or thirty paces away in an instant.
"Success?" asked curiously.
"It worked!" the tiger said with a smile while panting a little tired, "From today on, this sword is my magic sword, called 'Speed Knight'!"
