"Linda!" Jude tried to call out to the girl in front of her, but she didn't seem to hear.

With a quick chant of lightning spells, the boy threw a bolt of lightning at an enemy's iron helmet, causing it to fall to the ground, but more enemies still lunged at Linda.

In desperation, Jude inadvertently reached behind his shoulder, but he touched something similar to the hilt of a sword, and suddenly realized that he was somehow carrying a sheathed long sword. In a hurry, there was no time to think carefully, the young man subconsciously drew his sword out of its sheath, rushed to at least the woman's side at full speed, and swung his sword in a circular circle.

He saw a dark arc spread, and the attacking enemies were disillusioned when they were hit.

While marveling at the power of the effect, Jude found that he was holding a long sword in his hand. It is a pitch-black sword, about four feet (1.2 meters) long and three fingers wide, which is the most basic size, with no textured decoration, and the sword lattice and hilt are plain...... The boy suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, and the sword was very similar to the Maldos of Nossa except for the color.

But Jude didn't have time to study the weapon in his hand right now, and Linda in front of him was staring at him. The young man walked in front of at least the woman with a sword, and just wanted to say something, but was preempted by the other party:

"Who are you?"

Jude stared at the girl in front of him in surprise, unable to believe that Linda suddenly didn't recognize her.

He was about to open his mouth to explain, but the girl suddenly turned away and disappeared into the pale mist, leaving the boy alone in a daze.

-

Jude just wanted to set off to chase after him, but suddenly sat up in shock, only to realize that it was just a dream.

Looking around, it was dawn the next day, and the light of dawn swept away the shadows of the night from the east, but all that was in view was the crumbling ground and the remains of wood and stone.

It seems that he slept overnight among the ruins and ruins, and the young man's physical strength has recovered a lot, but his mood is still lost.

From now on, he was alone, alone in his dreams, in the quiet life of Lamberting, with his dearest people. Thinking of this, Jude couldn't help but feel sad, and there was nowhere to release the unspeakable depression and depression in his heart.

The boy was just about to stand up, when he suddenly found that he was holding something heavy in his hand, it was a long sword, a long sword with a pitch-black body and a simple shape.

Isn't this the sword he used in his dream? Jude quickly stood up and tried to swing his weapon, finding that the weight and feel were exactly the same as in the dream. At the same time, he noticed that he was wearing a leather harness that held the scabbard behind him. Removing the harness and scabbard, they are as black and unadorned as the sword, and seem to be in a class of their own.

Could it be that he is still dreaming? The boy pinched his face with his sword sheathed, and although he could feel the pain, and his self-consciousness was very clear, it was unlikely that he was still in the dream.

So what's going on? After denying the dream, Jude couldn't understand the current situation.

"You look sad and confused. Without warning, the voice rang out of his heart, "I asked you to refuse Linda's request to return to Lamberting at once. Why don't you listen?"

"Why didn't you tell me why?" Jude asked rhetorically, "Besides, would rejecting Linda prevent this catastrophe?"

"Perhaps. ”

"What do you mean?" the boy excited, "you can't actually see the future, do you?"

"I'm not here to quarrel with you, Jude. You have to remember that our interests are aligned. If you want to avoid a bad outcome like this again, we need to help each other. ”

Its tone was calm and sincere, like the exhortation of an old friend, but Jude, who was in a restless mood, could not listen at this time: "I can't trust you unless you make everything clear to me." ”

"Why bother. My time is limited, and you know that. It's okay not to believe me for a while, you'll understand later. The voice was still calm and gentle, "Talk about something else." You're confused, you don't know what's going on with this sword, are you?"

"Yes, I carried it in my dreams for some time, and now it appeared in my hands out of thin air. The boy told the truth, "Do you know what is going on?"

"It's called Silence. "I'm used to calling him Black Sword. As you can see, it's pitch black. ”

"It's pitch black indeed. You got it for me?" asked Jude, the voice sounding familiar with the sword.

But it denied it: "No. This is your sword, your own weapon, of your own making. ”

"I just had a dream, can I create a sword out of thin air?" the boy felt inexplicable, "how can you know so much about what I have created?"

"There's no time to talk about that. Teach you another mantra: Revos_ilos_osarc_alcrem_maz-na_alcrem_xi'ante_misum_le_nagas! No movement or mana required, just chant this mantra and release me. I know you don't believe me right now, so I'll be honest this time: it does and may have some irreversible effects, but if you release me, I will answer all your questions and solve any problems that lie ahead of you. It's a win-win deal for helping each other, think about it. ”

It was a long, obscure incantation, not the Eurasian language of a regular incantation, but a foreign language that a teenager had never learned and could not understand. But Jude memorized it after just listening to it, and was able to repeat it in its entirety without difficulty. It was a strange and strange feeling, as if this memory had been lurking in the depths of his mind for a long time, and it had only been awakened to this day.

"Make it clear. What kind of restraint or seal do you have that I need to cast a spell to release you?What irreversible effect will this spell have?And you haven't answered me, what the hell is going on with this sword?"

The apprentice that Stantikom had taken was really funny, and Serenis smiled softly, and then slowly retreated into the woods.

"Esenriaos," she said, looking back at a young man in a green dress behind her, "what do you think of this little fellow?"

"I think it's still observable. The young man's response was humble and gentle, "Why don't you wait and see what happens for the time being?"

"Eh, is it okay to leave it at that?" Thrannes looked a little surprised, then smiled again, "yes, that's right. If something really happens, it should be handled by Stanticom, how can we be in charge? ”

"That's right, that's the duty of the Dark Silver Scales (Silver_Scale). Besides, what it will develop into depends on the performance of this teenager. Esenrios added.

"Hmm. Then I'll go back to the Crystal Desert first. Thrannes chuckled and waved goodbye to the young man.

"Please send my greetings to Her Excellency Irenis. Esenrios bowed deeply to her, "I'll be visiting her through Dreamland at a later date, and I need to ask for some urgent information in the near future." ”

"Actually, if you have something important, it's okay for you to go directly to her. But I know, don't worry, I'll tell you for you. With that, Thrannes smiled again and waved her hand, before disappearing into a burst of arcane light.
