Text Chapter 188: The Secret of the Holy Sword
Bang!
A priceless pearl of the night was thrown to the ground, shattered in an instant, and glowing fragments splattered everywhere. Tomato β‘βSayβNet '--.-F-Q'
His Majesty George, who received the news of Kendi's escape, was full of anger, his chest continued to rise and fall, and his eyes were cold as he looked at the several mages kneeling on the carpet.
"Take this bunch of waste with me, I don't want to see them. β
He shouted loudly, causing the faces of the mages to change greatly, and their eyes looked at Xiang on the side for help.
"Alas......"
Xiang sighed, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and pleaded for them: "Your Majesty, they are all the most senior mages under me, I think this time it was their momentary mistake, can you give them a chance." β
"Opportunity?"
His Majesty George smiled, his gaze even colder, making people feel cold all over his body.
"Do you know how important the man they let go is to me and to the entire Greyhawk Kingdom?"
"Give you a chance, who will give me a chance!"
"I've made up my mind, come here, bring them into the dungeon!"
After some words, Hibiki was completely stunned, his brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't know why Kendi was so important.
The five mages, on the other hand, were paralyzed and looked desperate.
Soon, the palace guards who received the order appeared with expressionless faces, set them up, and led them to the cold and dead underground palace.
"Where's Firig, let him be in front of me in five minutes!"
Seeing the mages being taken away, His Majesty George's face was still ugly, and after returning to the throne to ponder for a while, he ordered in a cold voice. βTomato ''-.-f-q-x's-'.-c'o-m'
Hibiki didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the portal and left the palace, and came to the forbidden military camp to inquire about Firig's whereabouts.
"The Commander took five teams of men early to continue investigating the undead. β
So said the Praetorian soldier he questioned.
Hearing this, he scolded in his heart, Wang Du is so big, he can't find Firig in five minutes anyway.
However, although there was no hope in his heart, because of His Majesty George's order, Hibiki still tried his best to spread his senses, looking for the breath of Firig in all directions of the royal capital.
Five minutes later, with a sigh, Hibiki opened the portal again, returning to the palace.
"Back to Your Majesty, Commander Firig is investigating the undead in the city, and ...... for the time being"
Hibiki lowered his head and said with some trepidation, when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Hibiki-sama, I'm right here. β
Firig?!
Hearing this, Hibiki looked up in astonishment, and found that Firig was standing not far in front of him, looking at him in surprise.
"Philippe has just arrived at the palace. β
Seeing his stunned expression, His Majesty George said lightly.
"Yes, I came here this time because I found a clue about the undead. β½ β Tomato ββ Net -''.'F-Q-" Firig nodded, and took out a miserable white bone in his hand.
The bone was about twenty centimeters long, and it didn't look unusual, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was a strange black mist wrapped around the bone, forming something like a mark.
Moreover, whether it was His Majesty George or Xiangxiang, he could sense a breath full of death intent and decay from his bones.
"This is what I took from a skeleton found in the basement of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and after inquiry, the skeleton was a servant of the Duke's Mansion before his death, but it has been missing for half a month. β
"I suspect he was captured by McCarney or the Daedric cultists that McCartney worked with, and he used a spell to transform the undead, and he failed to become like this. β
Firig said in a deep voice, and with a fierce fighting spirit, a terrible scream suddenly came from the bones, and the black mist above poured out in an instant, forming a hideous and terrifying demon face, constantly changing and pulling in mid-air.
"It's indeed necromancy, so it seems that there should be necromancers among the Demon God Cultists hiding in the royal capital, and their strength is not low. β
Hibiki's face became a little solemn when he saw this picture, he had fought with a necromancer in an accident many years ago, and his memory was very deep.
And judging from the fact that this bone can exude such a rich aura, the caster's level is definitely above level 45. Tomato β‘ netβ ---.-f'q'x-s''.com
However, what they didn't expect was that for this very important matter in their eyes, His Majesty George just waved his hand and said a little impatiently.
"Just figure it out for yourself. β
Both of them were surprised when they heard this, His Majesty George was obviously very angry about the undead before, why did he ...... now
At this time, His Majesty George looked at Filig and said with a very serious expression: "I am looking for you this time because of a major matter related to the fate of the kingdom, and you must swear not to disclose it to anyone before telling you." β
As he spoke, his gaze swept towards Hibiki.
Seeing the seriousness of the matter, the two of them looked grim and made an oath of secrecy in the name of the god of oaths.
His Majesty George nodded with satisfaction, and then slowly explained the matter of Kendi and the [Purple Rainforest Holy Sword].
"Purple Rainforest Holy Sword...... Could it be the sword of the former king Austin?!"
Hibiki looked startled and exclaimed.
A long time ago, before the Grey Eagle Kingdom was established, Austin Feng and his artifact [Purple Rainforest Holy Sword] were already known to everyone in Atlanta.
The origin of the Holy Sword is very mysterious, and no one but Austin knows about it, and even George's descendants have not received relevant information.
However, one thing that happened once made everyone know how powerful the Holy Sword really was. Tomato β³β‘β Small β³ Tell the Net -'-.-f'q-x-s''.'c'om
It was almost a hundred years ago, before George was born, and an extremely powerful abyssal demonic beast appeared in the territory of the Gray Eagle Kingdom, the Chimera.
With two heads, one spewing venom and one flame, and a body comparable to that of a dragon, the Chimera destroyed three cities in just one day.
While everyone was praying that the clergy of the Holy See of Light would arrive as soon as possible, George's grandfather, the previous Gray Eagle King, Pullman Von, appeared with the Holy Sword in his hand.
Pullman quickly fought fiercely with the Chimera, he was a legendary-level swordsman, and his strength was also considered mid-range among all the legend tiers in Atlanta at that time.
But even this is still no match for the Chimera, this monster has two heads, and its intelligence is extraordinary, and under its cunning and insidious attacks, Pullman quickly falls to the upper hand.
Just when everyone was desperate in their hearts, thinking that the king was about to be killed by the demonic beast, the holy sword suddenly released a dazzling light that pierced the sky.
Pullman was bathed in light, his body corroded by venom, and the wounds burned by the flames healed in an instant.
Immediately after, Pullman swung the holy sword.
Pillars of light pierced the sky and fell with the swing of the holy sword.
The terrifying abyss monster Chimera was easily dismembered by a sword, and the two heads are still kept in the secret vault of the Gray Eagle Kingdom.
Since then, almost the entire continent has known about the artifact possessed by the Gray Eagle Kingdom, the power of envy, jealousy, and greed.
"However, since that use, the holy sword has lost its power and has become a bladeless sword, unable to cut even ordinary cloth. β
His Majesty George sighed with a complicated expression.
"It's a secret that only the royal family knows, but now it's time for you to hunt down Kendi, so I'm going to tell you about it, and of course, you can't reveal any of it. β
Hearing His Majesty George's warning words, the two people who were in shock came back to their senses and nodded quickly.
"But Your Majesty, what if Kendi made up false news? Maybe he just accidentally learned the news that the Holy Sword had lost its power, and wanted to use it to blackmail Your Majesty. β
Firig looked thoughtful and suddenly spoke.
When His Majesty George heard his words, he shook his head directly and said:
"No, remember the last time you caught him, he showed the sign, which I saw on the hilt of the holy sword. β
"If he only knew the news by accident, he would never know the sign, and since he knew the sign, it means that he must have seen something related to the Holy Sword. β
"Even if there is only one connection, Kendi must be caught. β
In the end, His Majesty George's gaze was as cold as extreme ice, and the king's coercion was inadvertently released, causing the air to freeze slightly.
Cold sweat flowed down the faces of both of them, after all, the coercion of a legendary powerhouse was still very unbearable for them.
Seeing their somewhat uncomfortable faces, His Majesty George quickly put away his coercion and said lightly:
"I've said everything that needs to be said, Kendi should still be near the royal capital now, you two, personally bring someone to arrest him for me. β
"Remember, this is a task that must be done. β
The two of them felt a pang in their hearts, and after knowing the importance of this matter, they also understood why His Majesty George was so abnormal.
But...... The task of hunting down a man who could freely travel through the shadow planes was also very stressful for the two of them.
So they just nodded and took orders, not daring to make more promises.
His Majesty George could naturally see their thoughts, and snorted coldly, but did not say anything more.
After the two of them left the palace, His Majesty George frowned, staring at a flag of the Gray Eagle Kingdom not far away, and for the first time had the idea of praying to the gods.
Pray to the gods to let him get his wish back.
......
At the same time, in the No. 3 area of the competition field, the players who had advanced to the quarterfinals stood in front of the draw box, and several of them looked a little impatient.
Since both the king and Hibiki had left, a thin middle-aged nobleman who temporarily presided over the king's place was sweating profusely.
"Leo hasn't come yet, we've been waiting for almost half an hour. β
At this time, among the seven contestants, the young man who was very handsome and wearing a plain white robe frowned and said, his tone was slightly dissatisfied.
Marquis Cred's gaze swept over and said embarrassedly: "I have already asked someone to look for him at Leo's residence, and he should be there soon......"
He has said this sentence no less than four times, and now that he says it again, even he himself is very unconfident.
Nichols, who owned a [Halo Mage], snorted lightly and pursed his lips, obviously not believing his words.
"I'll wait three minutes at most anyway, and if he doesn't come, I'll draw the lot myself and leave. β
