Chapter 153: The Palace of Epics (Part II) [Ask for Recommendation]
The Pope and the boy walked into the hall where the stone statues of the epic heroes were kept.
With six books under his arm, Constantine's first sight fell on the stone statue corresponding to the figure in the first scroll, which was very similar to the one he had seen in the Palatine Academy, but more realistic.
This is a knight, and a model for all knights throughout the ages.
The gargoyle-kyoin looked up at the main hall, Yingxiu's face like a god's son, slender and broad shoulders, and his eyes were extremely deep, as if radiating a light like a star, pointing straight to the sky.
Seeing the stone statue of Paladin, Constantine's face suddenly turned pale, and he remembered that night ten years ago, and boundless fear welled up in his heart, "I have seen him. ”
Hearing this unbelievable remark, the Pope did not laugh, let alone be shocked, but showed a thoughtful expression, "The last time you saw him was in Winterfell ten years ago?"
"He killed my father. Constantine said word for word, staring at Palatin as if to imprint every detail of the stone statue into his soul. "It sounds incredible, but I know it's him. ”
The Pope let out a sigh.
The Pope walked up to the statue of Palatin, chanted a few syllables, and then reached out and pulled out a cloud of milky white light from the statue.
The light faded, and a sword appeared in front of Constantine, attracting the boy's attention.
It was a very old cross sword, with a life span of at least six centuries as evidenced by the forging process, with a hilt made of fine obsidian and a cross gauntlet made of gold, and crystals the size of rice grains neatly arranged in a vertical line and set into the sword.
The hilt of the sword is engraved with a magnificent emblem, and after thousands of years, this cross sword still exudes an incomparably sacred aura that makes people's souls throb for it.
What shocked Constantine the most was that this was an epic level of equipment, and the rank was even higher than that of the legendary.
According to the order of magic items established by the Alchemy Altar, the levels of alchemy weapons from high to low are--- Common, High-level, Extraordinary, Legendary, Epic, and Mythic.
Mythical weapons only exist in legends, and legendary-level magical items are almost the limit of human alchemy.
And the epic weapon, in addition to its unimaginable power, also has more humanistic colors.
Not all legendary weapons can be named epic, only powerful weapons that have made immortal contributions in various historical periods can be included in the ranks of [epic].
The weapons used by the six epic heroes are all naturally included in this list.
In his lifetime, witnessing the appearance of a truly epic long sword, Constantine felt that everything in front of him was so unreal.
"This holy sword is a sacred weapon created by the second generation of Pope St. Peter fourteen centuries ago, summoning the best alchemists in the continent. "It has many names, including the Immortal Blade, the Sword of Permanence, and the Sword of Angels. ”
"During the Battle of the Dawn, it was lent to His Excellency Paladin, and with the help of this sword, Paladin slew countless aliens, and after the war the sword was returned to the Church, where it was sealed. ”
"What you see in your eyes is the Epic Holy Sword [Durandal]. ”
The Pope's finger ran over the water-clear blade, "which means 'eternal,' and it is the strongest sword in the world, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot be destroyed, and the bearer will be blessed by the light." ”
The Pope handed the sword to Constantine with both hands, "This is the prize I have given you, for your merits in saving His Majesty the Emperor and the people of the Empire, it is you who deserve it, not even the Templars and the Cardinals dare to question it. ”
Constantine looked at [Durandal], which exuded a faint aura of holiness, and felt an unimaginable allure coming from the hilt of the sword, attracting him to hold it and use it.
It's an epic weapon!
Constantine is no longer the ignorant and ignorant hot-blooded boy he used to be, knowing what it means to have such an epic sword like this, maybe the power of the holy sword is not stronger than the legendary weapon, but its increase in the reputation of the teenager is immeasurable.
The owner of this sword, in addition to gaining unimaginable power, will rightfully be regarded as a model for all knights on the continent and will be praised by all the ages.
If you miss it, you will miss an opportunity to go down in history.
But in the end, the young man took a deep breath and said in a calm but firm tone, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have my own sword. ”
"Besides, I would not like to use the sword used by the enemy who killed my father, even if it was the most sacred and noble [Durandal]. Constantine said.
The Pope smiled, not angry, but rather relieved, as if he had guessed Constantine's answer at the beginning, but he did not withdraw his hand.
"It doesn't matter if you don't, in time, you can just give it to the right person. "Anyway, it's not going to be of much use to the rest of the Church." ”
Constantine hesitated for a moment, and finally took over [Durandal], he didn't lie, he really didn't want to use this holy sword, but when facing the Dragon Lance Dynasty in the future, it would be good to have an extra chip.
He even had a candidate in mind.
After handing out the sword, the Pope took Constantine and continued to browse the rest of the statues.
"This is the Nibelungen, the hero who founded the Dragonlance Dynasty with Charlemagne, a legendary brave man with half a dragon heart, and you have dealt with Rommel the Dragon, so you should also be able to appreciate how powerful this Dragon Lance Ancestor was a thousand years ago. ”
The Pope pointed to a shirtless warrior with a rugged appearance.
The Gargoyle warrior sits on a boulder, with a lifelike dragon painted on his chest, his companion and mount--- the ancient sacred dragon Galatres, the source of the dragonblood of the Dragonlance Royalty.
Constantine was most familiar with the Nibelungen, and when he was a child in Winterfell, he had heard the little girl named Gayan tell the story of a certain dragon knight many times, but he didn't know it at that time, and the dragon knight in Gayan's mouth was the Nibelungen.
Later, after listening to Heine chanting the name in the dormitory for more than half a year, Constantine consulted a lot of classics and realized that the girl had told her admiration for this ancestor in this way.
"As for this epic hero, it is the female archer of the elven race, Rultini. ”
"Her perfect archery, combined with the epic longbow [Whisper of the Firmament], played the most important role in the Battle of Dawn for the allied forces of the various races against the air force of the aliens, and another of her statues is now preserved in the Elven Temple of the Savage Continent. Pope said.
Constantine looked at the beautiful elven girl with a longbow on her back, smiling, and a refreshing and energetic breath all over her body, and his mind went blank for a moment, and it was difficult to connect the heavy word of epic hero with the stone girl in front of him for a while.
