Chapter 408: The Secret of the Kingdom
According to historical records, King Ryan once found three long swords embedded in a stone platform in a cave near the kingdom of Talon, and he feasted all the Hercules, but none of them were able to pull them out. Therefore, King Ryan named it "The Three Brothers of the King" www.biquge.info it.
At least that's what the sign in front of the stone platform says.
"Hey, what are the three brothers of the king!" Yurius, who was hiding behind the stone platform, had his heart in his throat, and at the last moment, Lin Qiu did burst out of his potential and spliced the stone platform back. But there were a few glitches in the process - for example, he inserted the two swords that Julius had stolen into the stone platform.
In this way, the sword of the king became the three brothers of the king.
The devil will believe you!
Julius felt that this was the end of the story.
"Cold ...... Calm down. Lin Qiu also broke out in a cold sweat, before he finished playing the soul of the tinker, Rose had already pulled the two of them to the door, and in a hurry, he could only insert the long sword that fell on the ground into it: "This kind of thing is also very normal, the Sword of Kings will definitely feel lonely if you stay here alone, and it is normal for people to occasionally invite other swords to come to their home as guests, Julius...... It's you who made too much of a fuss!"
"I think you're suffering from the minstrel after-effects!"
"No, no, no, my family's deep sea occasionally looks forward to communicating with unfamiliar magic swords. β
Just when the eyes of the two were about to rub sparks, the frowning Liya had already come to the stone platform. Fortunately, the three loli are not very tall, otherwise they would be able to see Lin Qiu and Julius hiding behind the stone platform when they straightened up.
"Huh, I only had one last time I came?" Leah was confused. There are many legends about the sword in the stone in the kingdom of Talen, and there are countless strange ones, but none of the legends mention that the sword of the king can be increased!
"Oh! I also heard the legend of the Sword in the Stone when I was playing in the banquet hall!" Anna raised her hand to express her opinion, "The maids say that the Sword in the Stone has a soul, and it is waiting for a hero who can pull out itself. β
"So ......"
Rose supported her chin with one hand: "Two of these three swords are fakes, only the one that can't be pulled out is real!
Ria held the letter suspiciously, holding the sword with a griffon pattern carved into the hilt of the middle sword.
For as long as she can remember, her father has said more than once that the sword in the stone platform is a formidable existence, and the person who can pull it out is the hero of the kingdom of Tarun. King Ryan did not advocate that Leah wield knives and guns, and he never allowed Leah to touch swords and other sharp weapons when he was alive.
The hilt of the sword was cold to the touch, and Ria seemed to feel some kind of unusual energy.
With a little force, she drew her sword unhindered.
"This must be a fake!" Rose took the sword from Ria and placed it on the ground. Then, Lia drew the other two swords in the same way, and after some attempts, she shook her head: "Can't pull it out...... But there should be only one true between the two...... Which one is it?"
When the three of them hesitated, there was a ding-dong sound downstairs. The sound is light and rhythmic, like the crunch of a wind chime.
"Downstairs!" Rose was interested again, she took the two of them hands, "Let's try it later, let's go downstairs first!"
The stumbling footsteps quickly faded into the end of the hallway.
"Whewβso dangerous, I almost found out!" said Julius, beating his heart violently, he had never been so nervous, not even when fighting the King of the Forest!
His exclamation was not answered, he gasped for a while before turning to look at Lin Qiu, who had not made a sound for a long time: "What's wrong?"
"Strange. Lin Qiu carefully looked at the grooves of the stone platform: "Which two swords did you steal just now?"
If he remembered correctly, he picked up the sword on the ground and stuck it on either side of the King's Sword in an attempt to make the three swords look more balanced. However, the groove was now in the middle, and the griffon-patterned sword was now flat on the ground.
Lin Qiu glanced at Julius and found that the other party's expression was almost the same as the black man's question mark.
This amount of information is indeed a bit large, so he can't react for a while. And in order to make sure that his thoughts were correct, Lin Qiu bent down, reinserted the long sword into the groove of the stone platform, and made an inviting gesture to Julius: "Please start your performance." β
Julius, who did not believe in evil, rolled up his sleeves, and saw that the muscles of his arms bulged and his cheeks flushed...... However, his efforts did not help, and the sword remained straight in the groove. And in order to prevent only Julius from being targeted by this stone platform, Lin Qiu also pulled it out hard, but this time he didn't use the ability to engrave.
The long sword in the stone remained unmoved.
"And anyway, did we have that thing when we came?" "Julius bent over and looked around the second-floor hallway, then staggered back again. The open space between the statues on the first floor is gone, replaced by a spiral staircase that leads to nowhere.
From a distance, you can faintly see the orange-red fire coming from under the stairs.
"What about Liya and the others?" Lin Qiu also slipped out of the exhibition hall with a cat, and the three girls were no longer on the first floor. Julius thought for a moment and said in a reasonable tone, "It should go down, right?"
If he had found a way that he hadn't come from, he would have gone down out of curiosity to find out.
Lin Qiu then asked, "Where does that lead?"
The three little girls were so timely that he suspected that the sword in the stone was the key to open a certain mechanism, and when Leah pulled out the sword, he also heard the sound of ding-dong downstairs.
"Am I like someone who knows?" said Julius, gesturing at himself, apparently still wretched at not being able to draw the sword in the stone. Fortunately, Lin Qiu also returned in vain later, which made his heart feel a little better. Leah's sudden appearance almost scared him into a heart attack, and at this time he couldn't care about his plan to steal the famous sword: "Wouldn't you know if you go down and see? Didn't the Empress just say that King Ryan often came in the middle of the night for a while? Maybe there is some hidden secret underneath...... It may even have something to do with his assassination!"
He was very forthright in his speculation.
This was the first time that Lin Qiu had agreed with Julius's point of view.
After he said this, Lin Qiu realized that this was the second time that the Sith had come to the Kingdom of Tarun, and his status in the Chaos Sect was almost the same as that of the bishop, and the assassination of the king of a small country could not be done by a big man like him. At that time, no one knew that Alyssa was here, and the highest combat power of the Kingdom of Tarun was not even at the level of a royal knight, and he could easily achieve his goal by sending a random subordinate of the Templar level.
Maybe King Ryan has something else in his hands that he wants to get?
