Chapter 51: Fire Sword
Hai Siyu sent out a trace of doubt: "Grandpa Xiao, didn't you say that you must pass the test before you can enter the next grade to study?"
Xiao Wen said with a smile: "Hehe, Hai Siyu, with your strength, you will definitely pass the test, after all, your current strength has reached the level of an intermediate magician, and I also know this, so there is no need to test, and the test is also troublesome." I have actually assigned you a task www.biquge.info, which is also a year-end test I have given you, and I hope you can complete it. β
"Another task. Hai Siyu's face changed slightly, and his eyes showed a trace of doubt: "What kind of task is that?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just want you to go to the Forgotten Forest to find something. β
"Forgotten Forest, what are you looking for?" Hai Siyu felt in his heart that the task seemed to be a little unusual.
Xiao Wen looked at Hai Siyu, and his face immediately became serious: "Hai Siyu, what I asked you to go to the Forgotten Forest to find is actually a sword, called the Fire Xuan Sword, which is an artifact, which was used by the Xuan God Bryce back then, and before he ascended to the God Realm, he gave the Fire Xuan Sword to our academy, and it has always been kept by our academy." β
"An artifact, it turned out to be an artifact. Hai Siyu's mouth was open at this time, and his heart was full of shock. At the beginning, the best weapon of Hai Siyu's family was only a medium-grade immortal weapon, and that artifact was simply a legendary existence, and Hai Siyu sometimes thought that how could there be an artifact in this world? At this moment, he actually knew the news of the artifact, so how could he not be surprised.
Hai Siyu hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Xiao, is that really an artifact?"
Xiao Wen replied: "Yes, according to what the Xuan God Bryce said, the level of the Fire Xuan Sword should have reached the top grade artifact, if he hadn't ascended to the God Realm, he wouldn't have given us that Fire Xuan Sword easily." Therefore, the Fire Xuanjian is extremely precious, and it has always been properly kept in our academy, and this matter is only known to a few people in the upper echelons of the academy, and it has always been regarded as the top secret of our academy. β
Hai Siyu muttered in his heart: That Huo Xuan Sword turned out to be really an artifact, and it was also a high-grade artifact, and the few heirloom immortal weapons in his family were simply many times different from the Huo Xuan Sword, hehe.
Xiao Wen continued at this time: "But just a few decades ago, the Fire Xuanjian suddenly disappeared from our academy, and our academy also spent a lot of time and manpower to find it, but it has never been clueless. β
"Although there was news of the Fire Xuanjian in it, it was all proven to be wrong, and the place where the news appeared the most was the Forgotten Forest, but we also searched for it, but we didn't find it, so we gave up, thinking that the news might not be reliable. β
"But just recently, we got news that someone once saw the Fire Sword appear in the Forgotten Forest, so this time we plan to let you go there to find out, on the one hand, we are busy with other things here, and we can't spare time, and on the other hand, we want you to go there to experience the experience, which can be regarded as a test for you, of course, we still think that this news may not be very reliable, so we made such a decision. β
Hai Siyu heard it in a fog, but he generally understood something, and he still had a lot of questions in his heart, so he asked: "Then Grandpa Xiao, then I think that even if such an important news is fake, then I should go to find it in person, in case something goes wrong halfway, isn't it a pity?"
"Hehe, Hai Siyu, you can rest assured, this point I and the dean have already considered, do you know that we have gone to the Forgotten Forest no less than dozens of times, each time we returned empty-handed, and this time the news is the same as the previous times, I think nine times out of ten it is still unreliable, based on this basis, we decided to let you go to find it, in the final analysis, my biggest purpose is to let you go there for your own experience, because what you lack most now is actual combat experience, if you go to the Forgotten Forest, I think you will definitely gain something." γ β
Hai Siyu nodded at this time: "Then Grandpa Xiao, why did you give me such an important task instead of others? After all, I am only at the level of an intermediate magician, and there are many people in the academy who are higher than me." β
Xiao Wen gently touched Hai Siyu's head, narrowed his eyes, and said quietly: "Hehe, Hai Siyu, there are indeed many people in the academy whose strength is much higher than yours, but their qualifications are not as good as yours, although your current strength is not very good, but I have confidence in you, and that is a matter of time, so now you have to cultivate hard and seize every opportunity, which is of great benefit to you." β
"Plus you are my apprentice, of course you have to give priority, this can be regarded as a selfish motive of mine, I think you should also gain something through this experience, and as long as you don't enter the Forgotten Forest, with your intermediate magician level on the periphery, I think there is no danger in general, so I will rest assured that you will go alone." β
Hai Siyu realized Xiao Wen's good intentions this time, so he said loudly with conviction: "Then Grandpa Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." β
"Well, yes, yes, sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, hehe. Xiao Wen touched his chin and let out a hearty laugh.
"Then Grandpa Xiao, I have a question, that is, is there a lot of people in our academy who know that the Fire Sword is hidden?
"Hai Siyu, about this, in fact, not many people know about the fact that the Huo Xuan Sword is hidden in our academy, our academy has always kept it secret from the outside world, and there are very few people who know about it, and we also wonder that the Huo Xuan Sword has been hidden in a very secret place in our academy, which can be regarded as foolproof, but in the end it disappeared, and we have investigated it for a long time, and we have no clue at all. So our academy paid close attention to the movements outside, and as soon as there was news of the Huo Xuan Sword, we immediately went to look for it, and in the past few decades, our academy sent people to search the entire continent with no result. I don't know which bastard actually stole our Huo Xuan Sword, if I knew, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around. β
"Grandpa Xiao, then why didn't anyone use the Fire Xuanjian when the Xuanshen Bryce gave it to our academy? I think if it's an artifact, if it's used by the dean, it shouldn't be easily stolen by others, and if the artifact is recognized, shouldn't it be much safer?"
Xiao Wen looked at Hai Siyu and found that Hai Siyu, the child, was really cautious, so he explained: "Actually, what you said is very right, it is true that if we had recognized the owner of the artifact at the beginning, it would not be easily stolen by others, after all, once the artifact was recognized, it would always be his, unless the owner of the artifact was killed, then the artifact could be fully obtained, and we had also considered this idea of yours." β
"The god Bryce also thought of this, so he told us that he had placed an extremely strong seal on the artifact, and that seal could only be unlocked by the Great Magister, otherwise even if someone else got it, it would be impossible to open the seal. Since none of the people in our academy had reached the level of the great magician, there was no blood to confess the Lord. β
"But later, after several generations of high-level personnel in our academy, although there were also people who reached the strength of the Great Magus during this period, but out of admiration for Nablais, no one took the initiative to ask for the Fire Sword, so it has been passed on, but in our generation, we have lost it, we are ashamed, we are really ashamed, so we are determined to find the Fire Sword. β
Hai Siyu immediately asked: "Then Grandpa Xiao, if the seal is broken after the Huo Xuan Sword is stolen, once the blood is dripping and the Lord is recognized, won't it be even more difficult to find?"
"Hehe, Siyu, we don't think it's very likely, because if it's really like what you said, then there should be more or less news of the Fire Xuanjian, but there is no accurate news so far, so we estimate that something should go wrong, and the possibility of breaking the seal should not be great, after all, anyone who has reached the strength of the Great Wizard will not easily do this kind of stealing thing, because it will affect his reputation, do you know that a person's reputation is sometimes much more important than that strengthγ β
"Oh, I see. Hai Siyu then understood, "Then please rest assured Grandpa Xiao, I will definitely check carefully in the Forgotten Forest, as soon as there is news of the Fire Xuanjian, I will definitely notify Grandpa in time, so when will I leave?"
"Don't be in a hurry, I don't care about these days, I just want you to remember in particular, you have to be careful when you go to the Forgotten Forest this time, your main purpose is not to go there to find the Fire Xuanjian, but to practice, you have to promise me about this, otherwise I won't let you go, you know?"
"Yes, I promise, I'm just going to practice, and the search for the Fire Xuan Sword is just a matter of luck, Grandpa Xiao. Hai Siyu replied loudly.
Xiao Wen nodded knowingly, with Hai Siyu's assurance, Xiao Wen was much more relieved, "Well, very good, very good, before you go, you go and prepare well, after all, you need to prepare a lot of things when you go out, especially to experience, when you are ready, come and tell me." β
"But at most, it's only three or four days, and after three days, the academy will officially start its vacation, and the vacation time will be two months, which means that you only have two months to practice in the Forgotten Forest, and when the time comes, whether you find the Huo Xuanjian or not, I will come back and report to class according to the time." β
"And you have reminded me that I am only allowed to operate on the periphery of the Forgotten Forest, and not to enter the interior of the Forgotten Forest, because the strength of the place is far from enough for you. β
Hai Siyu immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa Xiao, I remember." β
