Chapter 220: The Demon Sword and the Heart of Stone
Scati said coldly in Leon's mind: "I don't like what she said, to be precise, it's very annoying, is an old goblin who survived because his level is not high enough to be destroyed by demons, and he is qualified to judge me in a tone that is on a par with me?"
"Yes, what she said was indeed excessive, and she is not qualified to compare with you, but she is very powerful now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to save face for you. β
In fact, Leon didn't think it was excessive, Vivien was completely truthful, but who made Scati belong to his own now, he would definitely have to speak to Scati.
Vivien couldn't snoop into his mind anywayβwith the Winter Lord's Helm of Domination, he was confident that he could keep the prying eyes out.
In short, it was much better than Cecilia's symptoms.
Li Ang said sincerely: "Sorry ma'am, I don't know much about the characteristics above the high sequence, and my mother and Mr. Dante have not taught me this. β
Vivian covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't call me lady, I don't think it's anything when others call me that, but you call me that, I feel awkward no matter how you hear it." β
"It's okay, I'm just whining, as you say, the glory of the gods is long gone. β
Scati's response was flat, but Leon could actually sense that she was still very useful in her heart.
This arrogant woman has always looked indifferent and not happy with things and not sad for herself, but in fact she still has emotions.
Vivien sighed, her eyebrows filled with sorrow: "The Sword in the Stone is indeed an extraordinary artifact, but do you know why only knights with five virtues can control it?"
Li Ang wondered, "Could it be because the spirit of this sword is noble and arrogant?"
"Of course not. β
Leon smiled, remembering a joke he had heard among wizards: "There is only one lady in this world when you don't have a title." β
"Just call me Vivien in the future, we elves don't value worldly etiquette. β
Li Ang said from the goodness: "Vivian, I have actually always had a doubt, the sword in the stone is so powerful, why don't you just take it for yourself?"
"What's worse is that the sealing stone of the sword in the stone has been eroded more and more by it, and every late night, this sealing stone will turn into an evil spirit knight, holding the sword in the stone to wreak havoc in Avalon, so the elves who live in the city have been evacuated to the forest by me. β
She stared at Leon solemnly, and said, "So I must find a master for it, otherwise, I will consider throwing it out of the secret realm with the sealing stone, although it will inevitably cause a great disaster." β
"I see. β
Vivien sighed, "On the contrary, to be exact, the spirit of this sword is full of negative consciousness such as tyranny, killing, and cruelty, and it is a magic sword from the abyss. β
Li Ang suddenly said: "I understand, you mean that only those who are strong enough, that is, those who have five virtues, can control it and not be corrupted by it?"
Vivien shook her head: "It can only be said that there is a chance, every master of the Sword in the Stone, in fact, did not master it for long, and threw it back into the lake leading to the secret realm of Avalon, that is because they found that they could no longer withstand the erosion of the magic sword." β
Leon wondered, "What if the people who participated in the trial learned the truth?
Vivien snorted softly, "When the winner leaves with the sword in the stone, it will have nothing to do with me - if this sword is really flawless, how can I give it away, there is never anything in this world that is taken advantage of in vain, they should have expected it." β
"Then why did you tell me the truth?"
Leon said in a deep voice, "The evil spirit knight that this sword turned into is very strong, can't even you resist it?"
"Of course not, but it is immortal, and even if I destroy it countless times, it will still arrive late the next night. β
Vivien sighed, it was clear that this matter had been bothering her for a long time.
Li Ang said thoughtfully: "So, just let me take the sword in the stone directly." β
Vivien shook her head and refused: "I'm sorry, once the rules are made, even I have no right to change them, playing with the rules is my innate talent as a goblin, it makes me far more powerful than ordinary goblins, but at the same time, it is also a bondage, I must abide by the rules I set." If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have had to convene this 'Five Virtues Trial'. β
"Renfrey is also because of the rules?"
"Demon hunters are actually more suitable for controlling the Sword in the Stone than ordinary people, and only magic can exert the full power of this magic sword. β
Vivien said sincerely: "To others, the sword in the stone may not be regarded as a gift, but it may be a crisis, but you are different. Both Dante and Lady Angelina have the ability to solve the puzzles contained in this sword. Of course, purifying the spirit of this magic sword will inevitably cause its power to drop significantly, but it is still an out-and-out artifact. β
"I see. β
Leon asked, "That king should have died of old age a long time ago, right?"
Vivien raised her eyebrows, and her beautiful face showed a hint of edge: "Unfortunately, he did not die of old age on the sickbed, but was slaughtered by my own hands. β
"Since there is no proof of death, why not make up a lie to reassure her?"
Vivien was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly, "Cecilia told you." β
"That's right, if it weren't for the rules, I would have let her go. β
She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I even went out to find that man for her in private, but he had already married and had children, and used the artifact that Renfrrey gave him to ascend to the position of kingβI had brought the artifact back for many years, but until now, I haven't thought about how to tell her this fact." β
"That's trueβthese shameful things are left aside for now, and it's really funny. Let's talk about the rules for competing for the sword in the stone after the trial of the five virtues. β
"Good. β
Vivian quickly withdrew from her depressed mood and said: "The rules are actually very simple, those who have passed the trial of the five virtues will resist the invasion of the evil spirit of the sword in the stone together in the middle of the night, and whoever finally fights for the ownership of the sword in the stone will own the sword." β
Vivien shook her head: "If she thought that the man had a deep affection for her, and only had an accident that he couldn't come to Avalon to accompany her, she would be very sad, and if she learned the truth, she was actually deceived, and she would only be even sadder." And for her, sadness is death. β
"It's a dilemma. β
Leon sighed.
"Then I'll get straight to the point - I want you to spend more time with Cecilia, contrary to Renfrey's soft watery heart, she has a heart of stone, which is hard as iron, blocking Cecilia's path to advanced high order, and I want you to help me melt her. β
Li Ang was stunned for a moment before he said, "What do you mean?"
Vivien's gentle eyes whitened him, and she said softly, "Just do what you men want to do to her, and at the same time you have to show your charm more, so that she can't help but fall in love with you." β
Leon praised: "It's really simple, but it works. β
Vivien smiled and said, "Also, Your Excellency Leon, I have a personal request. β
You say. β
Li Ang was dumbfounded.
Why do I always have to do this kind of thing, so much so as to be a witcher?
Could it be that my ultimate destiny is to become a famous piledriver like my predecessors?
