Chapter 212: Magic Sword
With the glass empty, Barrett patted his satisfied stomach and stayed at the table like the other guests, pricking up his ears for a while to listen to the innkeeper's story about the 'mysterious bottle'.
I have to say that this white-haired old man is very eloquent. He uses an adventurer's narrative, with a bit of boasting and rudeness, very different from that of a bard.
The old man's deep voice told every detail of the story vividly, but when he talked about his inadvertent loss of the magical bottle, Barrett suddenly lost interest.
I have my own story to continue, the brute thought, and went back to the third floor and back to his room.
His room is spacious, bright and has a small balcony with potted plants. However, the species of those plants is very simple, and each small pot is planted with lush flytraps. Pieces of shell-shaped insects are caught on the balcony and quietly open their mouths, waiting for all kinds of small insects to come.
Opposite are the 5-storey houses, and you can get a little information about the owners of the houses from the size and style of clothes that are left to dry.
When Barrett arrived on his first day, he saw a topless human woman in the room directly across from his window. At that time, this wheat-colored woman was propped up on the windowsill with Chiba spider plants hanging with her arms, casually flipping through an old book with a dark red cover.
Although the woman noticed Barrett's gaze, she didn't care. She just glanced up at our brute voyeur and lowered her eyes again, returning her attention to the book......
At this time, Barrett subconsciously glanced out the window, and the room opposite was empty. He smiled and shook his head, laughing at himself inwardly, and then took out the magic sword that the dwarf mage had given him.
He took the newfound weapon in his hand and began to swing it slowly and repeatedly so that he could become more familiar with it.
It is a scimitar-type one-handed sword, but the arc of the edge is not as large as that of the Takara scimitar. The one-handed sword's lattice is shaped like a dragon's wings, and the ridge is thicker than that of a normal one-handed sword, giving it a stronger slash. The sword is engraved with dark patterns, and occasionally dark golden light flashes on the patterns.
Through identification, Barrett learned that this was a weapon of the old era with a bit of history, and presumably its original owner, the dwarf mage Theodore Shining Gold, may not be fully aware of its origin.
【Elliott: Tyrannical Touch】
[This weapon was originally a Legendary-level one-handed sword, and its original name was the 'Guardian's Oath Sword'.] But after it became the sword of the tyrannical king 'Elliott', one of the most famous in human history, the name of the sword was changed. 】
Elliott, Barrett knew this king, and in fact there was no one in the entire continent who knew a little bit about history who didn't know him. This king was the thirteenth ruler of Mosatuis, a small and medium-sized kingdom in the Old Human Kingdom before the Magic Empire. The word 'tyrant' was coined by the people of Mosatuis during the reign of Elliot.
In today's lingua franca, 'Elliott' has gradually evolved into an adjective to refer to a person's insane, cruel and violent personality, and penchant for bullying and murder.
['Elliott Tyrannical Touch' was originally forged by Eugene Middleton, a legendary blacksmith among humans, for his friend, 'Elro', the first king of Mosatuis.] In the year 1432 of the Old Magic Calendar, the kingdom of Mosatuis was ravaged by the red dragon 'Inostaz', and Erno led the kingdom's army to slay the dragon, but was easily defeated by the cruel red dragon. And the left hand of King Erro holding the shield was also melted into the shield by the dragon's breath during the battle, and it had to be cut off, and the entire army was also killed and wounded by the red dragon's attack.
After the defeat, Ero prayed for seven days and seven nights in the church of the God of Justice. During this time, he repeatedly recited the oaths he had made to protect the people in the early days of the kingdom, and vowed that future generations would do the same. Seven days later, the god of justice, 'Tyr', sensed Elro's sincerity, and spent his divine power to personally bless the sword with an extremely powerful guardian realm, and the one-handed sword was confirmed to be named the 'Guardian's Oath Sword'.
In the end, the one-armed king used this god-blessed sword to personally slay the incomparably cruel red dragon Innostaz. The weapon was also seen as a symbol of Mosatuis' royal power, and it was passed down among Elro's descendants until the tyrant Elliot took the hilt of his sword, broke his oath of protection, and abused the kingdom several times more cruelly than Inostaz.
The long-lived Elliot ruled Mosatuis for nearly a hundred years, unsurprisingly to the end of the country. And this weapon, which was desecrated in Elliot's hands, was also buried with the fall of the kingdom, and its whereabouts were lost.
That is until the Magic Empire was founded, when a wealthy antique dealer bought it from tomb robbers. The antique dealer liked the special shape of the sword and spent a lot of money to enchant it with a mage.
The enchanted mage noticed something strange about the sword, so he took it from the antique dealer and sealed it in the dust. After the fall of the Magic Empire, the sword was tossed and turned many times, and finally fell into the hands of Theodore Shinkling's ancestors. 】
【Equipment Effect:】
[1. Oath-breaking Curse: The Promiser's oath of guardianship was broken by his descendants, and the body of the long sword was soaked in the blood of innocents, which lowered its quality by two notches. 】
[2. Tyrannical Heart: Elliott's brutal soul still influences this weapon. The worse the wielder's enemy status and the more damage they take, the higher the weapon's attack.
- The weaker and more injured creatures, the more they will provoke people's brutal abuse. 】
[3. Fallen Guardian's Domain: Creatures within 10 meters of the wielder will have their defense reduced by 10%. 】
[4. Spell Constant 'Thunder': Permanently enchants a weapon, so that when the wielder wields it, he gains a 10% attack speed bonus, and has a certain probability of releasing lightning arrows (up to five times a day). 】
[Note: There is a cruelty buried in everyone's heart, be careful, don't let it out.] 】
Although it has lost two qualities, this one-handed sword is still an extremely good weapon in Barrit's opinion, even so good that it can be said to be all-powerful!
It has an attack speed bonus, can release spells, and can also weaken the enemy's defenses, and the attack will get higher and higher as the battle progresses and the enemy weakens. It's fair to say that it's a perfect fit for an adventurer like Barrett. If you look at the attributes alone, it is even more suitable than the 'Iron Bride'.
But the annotation at the end of the appraisal made Barritt always feel a little uncomfortable. He knew that some weapons could indeed affect the user's mind, and he only hoped that the weapon in front of him would not do so.
Familiar with this one-handed sword that had gone through vicissitudes, Barrett summoned the [Mission Log] again, and checked the information that had appeared after he was immersed in the blood of the black dragon.
[Achievement: 'Bloody Body' open]
[Description: Unknown]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Reason: The current level of the 'Quest Log' is not enough to support the launch of the achievement system, you need to use Soul Energy to upgrade the 'Quest Log' in order to check the corresponding content related to the achievement.] 】
Leveling up?does that require 1,000 soul energy?Where am I going to get so much?Barrett shook his head, turned off the [Mission Log], and lay down on the bed.
