Chapter 406: The Correct Posture for Drawing the Sword
Lin Qiu felt that these might be the most realistic statues he had ever seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The statues are life-size and the craftsmen have worked the statues to make them look like they've come to life. In front of each statue is a sign that records their lives in detail, and the statues at the door are all people who have made outstanding military achievements.
The Taron Kingdom did not exist during the Hundred Years' War, and these statues are the most heroic knights from the kingdoms, and these knights all end up dead or missing in battle, which makes the atmosphere of the entire statue hall even more eerie. The light in the statue hall is very dim, and there is only one window on the second floor, and the window is still pasted with colored paper, so it is no wonder that no one usually wants to come here.
Walking in the statue hall, it seems that people are being snooped on in the dark all the time, and it is normal for some timid people to be frightened. Of course, the ranks of cowards did not include Lin Qiu, nor did they include Julius. One of the two uninvited guests was looking for someone, and the other was looking for a sword.
"What the hell are you here for?"
After Lin Qiu went around the first floor, he happened to bump into Julius, who was holding two swords in his arms. If he remembered correctly, the two swords he was carrying were the swords of a commander known as an admiral, and the other was a swordsman who spontaneously joined the war among the people.
The two died in two different battles, and Julius was holding the relics that should have belonged to them.
"Routine investigation!" said Julius, his face unchanged.
At first, he thought about picking a sword and leaving, but when he saw these unique knightly swords, Julius's heart was shaken - these are legendary swords, and even the auction houses of the Lilith Chamber of Commerce rarely get their hands on them.
"Put it back, don't discredit the kingdom army!" Lin Qiu sharply accused the other party of his thief-like behavior, they originally played the role of a responsible private detective, but now they have directly become thieves. And these things are theoretically his disciple's property, how can he tolerate this person stealing Leah's property while he is watching?
"Don't do it!" Julius knew that he was at a loss, and he also knew that his combat strength was a cut behind Lin Qiu, so the captain of the kingdom army fled spinelessly.
As a fanatic of famous swords, this is simply his paradise. He felt that he really had to thank Lin Qiu, if it wasn't for the saber being destroyed by the other party, he might never come to this kind of place in his life.
"Be quiet!" Lin Qiu hurriedly chased after him, they were still theoretically sneaking in secretly, if what he saw just now was really Ka Lian, he needed to find out what the other party was doing when he came to the statue hall at such a time. And this obviously cannot be done with Julius scurrying around.
And then something strange happened.
He suddenly noticed that Julius' speed had increased by a step from the last time he had met him. At first he didn't pay attention, but when he picked up speed, he found that he could barely keep up with him. He ran through the second floor, and finally stopped at an open exhibition hall at the end of the second floor.
Yurius, who stopped, looked a little strange, standing in the center of the room, staring unsquintingly at a long sword embedded in the rock in front of him. What's even more strange is that his eyes seem to emit a faint red light, and the whole person seems to be enchanted.
"This sword is calling to me!" he let go of his arms, and the two swords he had scavenged before fell to the ground in an instant.
This room is very strange, there is only a stone platform and a long sword embedded in it, and there is not even a humanoid statue in the huge hall. The introduction board in front of the stone platform is also very different from the biographies of the people downstairs, and only one paragraph is written on it - "The Sword of the King".
"Are you alright? Lin Qiu asked, but didn't get an answer from the other party.
Julius was still staring at the carved pattern on the blade as if he were stunned, and then took two steps forward like a puppet to the stone platform, his outstretched right hand gripping the hilt tightly. His every move seemed to be controlled by an invisible force—Lin Qiu remembered the rumors about Julius in the Port Tavern.
Everyone knows that he was an orphan whose parents died in the centuries-long war. However, no one knows who taught him his swordsmanship, the most widely known being that Julius' father was a knight who was a great knight, and he inherited his father's knightly lineage.
Lin Qiu glanced at the shape of the stone platform again, and suddenly recalled the allusion about the sword in the stone.
Could Julius' true identity be ......
All the evidence points to the astonishing fact that it seems that with a little force on Julius' right hand, he can bring this unrealistic fantasy to reality - and he did. I saw that he was engrossed, and with a low roar......
The long sword in the stone platform didn't even move.
And the strange power that controlled him seemed to have all dissipated at this moment, and the undying Julius stepped on the stone platform with two feet, and his hands clutched the hilt of his sword, and he blushed and took out the strength to feed. His instinct told him that this sword was the best one in the entire statue hall.
"Hey, what are you doing, come and help me!"
"If you can't pull it out, don't pose for so long!" The angry Lin Qiu slapped Julius on the head, and for a moment he almost believed that Julius's true identity was actually King Arthur or something. And this slap immediately deflated Julius, who was already in a strange position, and this slap made him fall to the ground.
"What are you doing!"
Julius got up, covering his waist with one hand and his ass with the other: "I almost pulled it out!"
Fart!
Because Lin Qiu's heart was overturned just now, his eyes were staring at this long sword all the time. He could tell Julius responsibly that after a series of efforts he had just made, the sword had not moved even a millimeter. He pointed to the contents of the sign: "Don't you see the instructions? Only the king can pull it out." And you have no skill to pull it out, and only if you can pull it out can you have a ghost. ”
"Then you can try it!" said Julius, his tone unconvinced.
"Hmph, if you're lucky, I'll show you the correct way to pull out the sword in the stone today. Saying that, Lin Qiu rolled up his sleeves, and Ye Mengjia, who was sleeping on his arm, suddenly woke up, and it straightened up, curiously observing its master's every move.
Lin Qiu held his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Look, when you draw your sword, you have to be angry and dantian, and you have to do it in one go!
Of course, the most important thing is to use the engraving to destroy the stone platform's focus while drawing the sword. Lin Qiu silently said in his heart - now is the time to challenge myths and legends with scientific knowledge!
"Drink—"
After a low roar, Julius' eyes showed disbelief. The sword that he couldn't pull out with the strength of the milk was easily pulled up by the other party!
"Look, this is the right way to draw a sword!"
In response to Lin Qiu's confident remarks, Ye Mengjia spat out the letter, and it decided to reserve its opinion.
The awkward silence lasted for about a few seconds.
The sword was indeed pulled out by him, yes, but the entire stone platform was pulled out along with it. The blade that had infiltrated the stone platform had not loosened at all.
"Look at what you've done!" "Julius glanced at the freshly baked hole in the ground, through which he could clearly see the entrance to the first floor.
And he and Lin Qiu also heard a familiar voice.
"This is the statue hall that my father took great pains to build. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the door on the first floor opened.
