Chapter 18: The Glitter of the Starry Sky
Frost's grip trembled a little, but he didn't say a word, looking quietly into the distance.
He was hesitating, and if he asked me to trade information for money, I couldn't stop agreeing to him.
Or, he's scrupling about something.
I closed my squinted eyes, felt the warmth of the sun, and didn't press him to answer.
In fact, the current Xu family is not safe, not as comfortable as it seems, and none of us can know what the next step of the Dark Order is.
The only thing I can do is to know everything I don't know, to understand everything I don't know, so that I can think of effective countermeasures to deal with the black mudslide of the Dark Order.
As the sun sets, the afterglow fades away.
After a long time, the stars appeared, and the frost grip finally opened its mouth to break the silence: "Xu Dan, actually...... Your Xu family is even more terrifying than the Dark Order......"
"Huh?" I thought I had misheard.
The Xu family is obviously a weak salted fish and a strong dragon in front of the Dark Order, and there is no comparison at all.
Why is the role reversed all of a sudden?
His voice was faint: "...... Dan Xu...... How high do you think the limits of quality are?"
I replied indifferently, "Purple quality." ”
"Yes, Zipin, this is common sense......" he nodded slightly, "...... But did you know that there is a quality that surpasses the purple product, and the purple product is not the highest quality......"
My heart was beating fast and I looked at him with wide eyes.
There are many wonders on the mainland, and I don't doubt him.
Purple products are extremely rare, and everyone's eyes are red, so the equipment of super purple products, isn't it a piece that will cause a bloody storm!
The Frost Grip looked excited, and his voice was raised highly: "Red quality, beyond the existence of purple products! What many people don't know is that the Scepter of Light in the Pope's hand is red quality!"
I was stunned: "Huh!?"
The people know that the Scepter of Light is very powerful, it has appeared since the beginning of the Holy See, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of each pope, and it is a symbol of power.
But no one has ever thought about what kind of quality the Scepter of Light is, and everyone takes it for granted that it is a holy rank purple product.
"The grade of all red products grows according to the user's rank, if you are a star rank, it is a star rank red product! You are a Xuan rank, it is a Xuan rank red product! This red product is worth the entire capital!" The frost grip's eyes flickered, and in the powerful equipment and strength, it was inevitable that he would be extremely excited.
He snorted a few times and grinned and continued: "Your Xu family's totem is a red-quality divine sword...... Moreover, it is a few points more powerful than the Scepter of Light......"
I was even horrified, my mind was short-circuited.
If I hadn't pinched myself and felt pain, I would have thought I was living in a dream.
Suddenly, I found that the Xu family was so terrifying, like a wolf lurking in the night.
Sharpening your teeth, waiting for the moment when the edge will be revealed!
The clothes of the frost grip were blown by the evening wind, revealing the appearance of the Dao Bone Immortal Wind.
"I have to say that the ancestors of your Xu family are really crazy, the power of the original divine sword has passed, dim, Xu Zu in order to restore the edge of the divine sword, use it as the totem of the Xu family, so that future generations can transmit energy to the divine sword from generation to generation.
Once the divine sword is cast, the Xu family will have the capital to dominate one side, and the world will also be shocked!
Now that the power of the Excalibur is almost saturated, you are the hope of the Xu family, and you are also the luckiest generation of the Xu family, who happened to be born when the sword was wielded......"
Suddenly, my throat was a little dry and my whole body was a little restless.
Perhaps, after I have the Excalibur, I can really avenge my father.
No wonder the national teacher said that I am a sharp sword, a sharp sword built with the painstaking efforts of the Xu family!
No wonder my father is so angry, no wonder my father scolds me for having no ambition, my eyes should not be limited to the Xuan Position, but the highest peak of the continent!
Otherwise, those seniors of the Xu family would not be blind under Jiuquan!
"Mentor, the national teacher also knows about the Excalibur, right?" I raised my eyebrows with a little worry.
The national teacher Joharo is a fisherman in politics, the most astute fisherman! He will cast a long line to catch a big fish, even if the line is decades long!
The reason why he helped the Xu family was because he was eyeing me and wanted me to be his weapon and be controlled by him...... The more I think about it, the more angry I get!
Frost Grip nodded: "Yes, Boss Xu was once framed by the powerful, and the national teacher helped him, moved him to tears, and told him the secret in order to report to the national teacher...... In order for me to be your mentor, he also told me......"
Me: "......"
Suddenly I felt the urge to vomit blood, and I was so angry that I clutched my chest.
When did the secret become so cheap, and the father's heart was too big, right?
Frost stood up and faced the cool breeze blowing towards the roof, with an inexplicable sadness.
"Boss Xu is a smart man, he is making long-term plans to disturb the national teacher, he is afraid that the Excalibur will attract the attention of major forces when it appears in the world, and bring disaster to the Xu family...... Disturb me, tsk, the [Ice Swordsman] and the ice-attribute divine sword are very compatible, which can allow you to exert greater power......"
The corners of my mouth twitched, the water in the political world is so deep, my father is also a fisherman, this line is long enough.
"Can you show me the sword?" I got up and sat down, looking at Frost Grip.
He shook his head without hesitation and refused, and said: "Xu Dan, now is not the time, let's talk about it after the Holy Maiden's speech, in fact, I don't want to tell you about the totem, I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold back the secret, so that the Xu family's efforts over the past generations will be in vain......"
Me: "......"
Frost Grip stood in front of him, his hands behind his back, in the moonlight.
The moon hangs high, the stars are shining, and the sky is full of green fireflies.
I blinked, looked up at the wonderful starry sky, and easily found a very dazzling sparkle among the countless starlights.
It's so dazzling, it's so out of reach.
Yuxia: "Xu Dan, do you see that star?"
Me: "Which one?"
Yuxia: "That's it, next to the moon." ”
Me: "That's a lot...... Can't find it. ”
Yuxia: "It's the one that sometimes emits blue light~"
Me: "I think I've found ......"
Yuxia: "Xu Dan, that's the Star of Light, it is said that every saint has a life star, and when the saint is born, the Star of Light will also appear, and I can find my own natal ...... When the star goes out, it means that the saint has fallen......"
Me: "Huh?!"
Yuxia: "It's not that easy to die...... When I was a kid at Lake Cerling, I used to wait for the Star of Light to appear, and by that time, Lake Cerling would become beautiful......"
Me: "Oh......"
Years later, I am again under the stars, remembering a conversation I had six years ago.
The trajectory of the stars,
Can't change.
changed,
It's just those of us who look up at the stars.
