Chapter 3: The Power of Runes
As the sound of the mechanism gradually stopped, and everyone's faces showed a look of surprise, Izzy cautiously made his way to the back of the throne. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Just as everyone's eyes fell on the banner of the Dawn Crusaders, Izzy lifted the flag, only to see a flash of the open secret door, which suddenly appeared on the wall.
Izzy gently pushed open the secret door, and as the secret door opened, it was a semi-circular secret room, a narrow space that could not even accommodate a seat. Two torches hung on each side of the wall, emitting a faint and dim glow, and in the middle of it stood a halberd. Under the silver and sharp halberd blade, there is a pair of silver wings decorated, which looks very gorgeous, and the transparent silver light is even more sacred.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, "Izzy!" Izzy was about to reach out to touch it, but he saw Eddie shouting and flying in front of him. This suddenly made him wonder, "What is this?"
Looking at the halberd in front of him, Aidi suddenly thought of a scene on the misty island "Rune Weapon ......" As soon as Aidi's voice fell, everyone was even more surprised, and they slowly surrounded him, quietly looking at this uniquely shaped weapon in front of him. "This is the Holy Knight's weapon?" Cedric questioned, grimacing.
Cedric said, about to cross the Eddy to the halberd, but he didn't expect the Eddy to block his hand at once, but this time he didn't expect that Cedric's hand touched the Eddi's chest steadily, he was stunned, and the Eddy hurriedly took a step back, and then Cedric lowered his head and rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"This rune weapon can't be touched by ordinary people, it will absorb people's energy. Aidi said solemnly, but Tiara didn't think so, she has always danced with swords and swords, and when she saw this gorgeous halberd, she liked it even more, "Hmph, then I'm not an ordinary person." While Eddie wasn't looking, Tiara said that she was going to get the halberd.
"Tiara!" At that moment, I don't know when, Afra walked in from outside. Following Izzy's orders, she patrolled the streets of Prado City and dealt with the warehouse before returning and stumbling into this scene. She knew the matter of the rune weapon, so she told the truth about her situation on the misty island, and everyone believed it, it was not that they did not trust Aidi, but the energy that Aidi said, and they didn't understand what was going on at all.
"Oh, so it sucks blood?" "What bloodsucking, Afra just said about sucking life. "No, Aidi is talking about energy. Cedric, along with Faense and Tiara, began to argue without a head.
At this time, Aidi rolled his eyes and spread his hands, "In layman's terms, if you touch it, you will die." Hearing Aidi's words, a few people quieted down. But at this time, Izzy stood motionless, with a pair of narrow eyes, calmly staring at the halberd, and the deep and deep pupils made everyone around him feel as if something was going to happen.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, there was silence for a moment, and Izzy cleared his throat, "The rune weapon is made of iron?" As soon as his words fell, everyone suddenly sighed, thinking that he would have some high opinions, but they didn't expect that after holding it for a long time, such a sentence came. Seeing that no one responded, he blinked, straightened his waist, and pursed his lips, "No, I mean why it's so bright." ”
"Izzy, it's all rune weapons, why don't you believe it. Aidi said helplessly, she knew that his heart still did not want to believe the legend. "Alright, the weapons that the gods have given us, if we don't use them, we will waste them......" "Izzy, what are you going to do!" Hearing that Izzy's words were wrong, Aidi hurriedly shouted.
I saw Izzy turn his head towards Cedric, and then said, "Cedric, you go and try......" Aidi hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of the rune weapon, and blocked everyone, "No." Seeing her resolute attitude, Izzy had no choice but to step forward and whisper, "Aidi, I believe in you." Since we know that Kassalon is a holy knight, so we must find a way to counter it, and now the solution is in front of us, if runic weapons will absorb human energy, then I also think that someone can control him, you see, I didn't believe in gods before, I didn't believe in myths, and now the gods have put the only chance in front of us, do you want us to pretend that we don't see it. ”
Izzy's voice, slow and calm, and at the same time full of the magnetism peculiar to men, made Aidi a little irresistible. She thought for a moment and nodded deeply, "Okay, then you guys can try it, I'll just stand aside, if I see something wrong, I'll use magic to interfere, and don't forget that I didn't warn you." "Aidi's words are so serious that people feel cold, as if everything is so serious.
Izzy smiled and nodded, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Eddie hold his hand and shake his head silently. Seeing this, Cedric immediately understood what he meant, and he patted Izzy on the shoulder, "Boss, let's do it with me." Cedric said, squeezing through the crowd and reaching for the halberd. At this moment, except for Aidi standing aside, the rest of the people took a step back.
At the moment when Cedric's hand grasped the halberd, the halberd's whole body glowed with blue-white light, and it made several piercing sounds, like the screams of angels, but more like the roar of demons. A cold sweat broke out on Cedric's forehead, and he quickly shook his other hand as well, yelling to pull it out.
But he didn't expect the halberd to be motionless, the sweat on his forehead began to flow uncontrollably, and after a while, Cedric began to tremble all over, and it became more and more powerful. Seeing this, Izzy hurriedly stepped forward and shouted "Aidi!"
Hearing Izzy's voice, Eddie hurriedly raised his hand and slapped Cedric out of thin air. Suddenly, a wave of qi exploded on Cedric's body, and under this tremendous force, he flew to the bottom of the steps. At this time, Izzy hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Cedric, and called his name loudly.
"Cedric!" Cedric slowly raised his head and shook his head a few times under Izzy's shouting over and over again, "What's going on?" Before Izzy could answer, Tiara on the side clasped his hands and said, "It's okay, you were struck by lightning just now." ”
"How are you, how do you feel?" Izzy asked with some concern, only to see Cedric lying in his arms roll his eyes from side to side, "It's so cool." The people around him immediately burst into laughter, and Izzy threw him to the ground.
Faennes, who had been silent in the crowd, held his chin with one hand at this time, and said secretly, "What Aidi said about absorbing energy refers to the power in the human body, and Cedric sweated a lot just now because the rune weapon absorbed his endurance and strength, and it has not yet reached the point of absorbing life." ”
"How do you know, Faenns. Cedric asked, as he got up. At this time, Faennes sighed, "I told you about it in my magic books. "Uh, damn broken book. This reminded Cedric of the Secret Book of Faennes, called the Blade of Punishment.
Seeing that there was silence around him, Faens continued, "I wonder if the magic will control this weapon. "I've tried it before, but it doesn't work, as soon as I put on the weapon, I immediately feel that it is squeezing my magic and life. Eddie immediately refuted his words.
"That's probably because you don't have power, you're an arcane mage, and you only have magical blood flowing in your body, unlike us, so I think you have to be a powerful warrior with magic to control it......" Farnes was halfway through his words, and suddenly felt that everyone around him was staring at him with an incredible gaze.
"Okay, I'll try ...... then," Faense said as he walked in front of the halberd, for Faense was the only one of them who had practiced magic and successfully used the spell of the Blade of Punishment. He raised one hand, and the other sleeve, which had lost its arm, floated empty, and he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and was about to go to get the halberd, but was stopped by Tiara. "Let me do it this time. ”
Her starry eyes were starry, staring at Faennes, exuding an unmistakable determination. Faennes knew that Tiara had always felt guilty about herself. "But, you ......" "It's okay, I practiced magic when I was a kid. "Tiara, though she also has magical blood in her veins, has practiced the spells of the Holy Cross, but she has never had any interest in magic, so she is in vain.
Looking at Tiara's unwavering expression, Faense nodded silently and stepped aside. "Tiara, be careful, if you can't do it, shout out, promise me not to be a hero, okay?" Izzy said with concern at the bottom of the stairs, only to see Tiara nod her head sideways.
Seeing this, Yeona came to Izzy's side and grabbed his hand, as if comforting Izzy. Everyone took a step back, and Tiara gritted her teeth and gripped the halberd with both hands.
The moment it touched the halberd, the halberd instantly released a dazzling blue-white light again, and the roars of the demons and angels also rang out for a while, and the sound gradually became sharper, as if it was about to tear people's eardrums. Tiara's hands trembled, the blue-white light became more and more dazzling, and the strange sound became more harsh.
"Don't you!" said Tiara, a roar that resounded through the halls of the castle, a hoarse roar that seemed to tear her throat and drown out the strange voice. In an instant, the angel's demonic roar stopped abruptly, and the blue-white light disappeared without a trace.
When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that Tiara had slowly lifted the halberd at this moment. This time, it really shocked everyone in the room, but I didn't expect Tiara to really succeed. She clutched her halberd tightly in both hands, turned around, and walked down the steps, her movements looking like a standard-bearer stepping down.
Coming to the bottom of the steps, she carefully let go of one hand, held the halberd in one hand, and stood on the ground. Seeing that nothing had happened, she took a breath and smiled at everyone. "Did it work?" said Izzy, letting go of his grip on Yeonna, who was already sweaty as he looked at his big hands, and even wet her pink little hands.
"What the hell, rune weapons are afraid of mad women?" Cedric said boredly, apparently not satisfied with Tiara's easy success. The crowd slowly gathered around, looking Tiara up and down. "Is that the end of it?" said Faennes, standing in front of her, as if uncertain.
Tiara nodded with a smile as she slammed her halberd to the ground. Suddenly, a powerful wave of qi came out of thin air, bouncing all the people around him to the ground, only Izzy, who was far away, hurriedly turned around and protected Yanna with his body.
"Be careful! the rune weapon is so powerful that you can't control it!" Eddie hurriedly shouted from the top of the steps, but Tiara raised her halberd disapprovingly, "No problem, I control it." As she spoke, she was about to wave again, when Cedric, who was lying on the ground, quickly got up and hurriedly waved his hand to her, "Yes, yes, you can control it, don't refute her......"
Cedric said and spat on the ground, the dust in his mouth, "It's good now, no one can take care of this crazy woman." "What did you say?" I saw Tiara holding the halberd and glaring at Cedric, which scared Cedric away, and he shook his head in panic, "No... It's not ......".
Seeing Tiara with an angry look on her face, she strolled over, and Cedric hurriedly turned around and fled. Seeing this, Tiara also chased after him with a halberd. The two chased after each other for a while, leaving everyone in the castle hall.
"Izzy, this ......" Yanna reminded Itch with a little uneasiness, but saw Itchy sigh, took his hand, and walked to the throne, "Let them play, they can't die." Izzy helped Yanna to sit on the throne and pressed the lever back. I saw the secret door behind me slowly close with the sound of gears turning, leaving only a wall, and the huge Dawn Crusader flag, as if nothing had happened in the hall.
"Afra, how are the goods in the warehouse?" Hearing Izzy's call, Afra recovered from her panic, and the people around her silently returned to their previous positions, and Aidi on the side also tidied up her robe and stood next to Yanna.
"Oh, the contents of the warehouse, I have examined it in detail, there are three boxes of stamped gold coins, a total of nine thousand four hundred and eighty-seven, and the silver coins are piled up in sacks, probably millions. As soon as Afra's words fell, everyone was amazed, they had never seen such a amount of money at such a young age. According to the conversion of Sapuro gold and silver coins, one gold coin can be exchanged for a hundred silver coins, so that the conversion of those gold coins alone is a sky-high price.
"It seems that Kurad has looted a lot of property in the north, why did he hide it and not use it?" said Aidi with a sigh of resignation. At this time, in the midst of the crowd, the relatively calm Izzy opened his mouth, "Maybe it's greed, Afra, what do the stamps on those gold coins mean?"
"I don't know, the gold coins are printed with the heads of demons. "Demons, it seems that Kurad wants us to spend it by the way, and by the way, he will be remembered. As he spoke, Izzy couldn't help but laugh, maybe the matter of the gold coin print has become an unsolved mystery, but as long as it is a mystery, it will one day be solved.
Afra coughed and continued, "The two large granaries of Prado are also full of flour, and a lot of wheat is piled up on the farm outside because there is no space for it. "It seems that we don't have to worry about food, we were afraid that after capturing the Prado, there would be no food to feed the army. Izzy said with a smile, he didn't expect this revolution to be so easy, and when he heard his words, the people around him were also relaxed.
At this moment, Gao Di'an, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in with a smile in full suit and "Adult ......" looked at him with a happy expression, as if he was as happy as a child who had received candy. Yeona also gave a gentle smile in return, only Izzy stood aside, looking at him expressionlessly, "How's it going?" ”
"My lord, according to your request, all the necessary supplies have been moved to the blacksmith's shop, and the soldiers are helping the blacksmiths forge the armor, and I believe that in less than a week, a thousand sets of armor will be made. As soon as Gaudian finished speaking, Faennes looked a little surprised, "A thousand? That's not a decimal number." ”
"Oh, Lord Faense, there is a special blacksmith section in the city of Prado, where there are a large number of tools and instruments that can be used to craft a large number of weapons and armor at the same time, and according to the orders of Lord Izzy, I told the blacksmiths that a thousand sets of armor will be enough for eighty silver coins each, and that there will be assistance from the soldiers, and they agreed when they heard this. ”
Kurad used to trade with the blacksmiths at a very low price, and the requirements were not high, so they were greatly oppressed by the blacksmiths, and now Izzy has greatly increased the price of enough to buy, which of course makes them full of enthusiasm.
Hearing this, Izzy nodded, "Okay, Sergeant Gaudian, now I give you a mission, this batch of armor must be rushed out tomorrow." "What?" Gao Dian thought he had misheard, and after questioning, he hurriedly lowered his head and saluted, "My lord, this can't be rushed, there is a very complicated process for making armor, and it can't be done overnight." ”
"No!" Izzy said solemnly, no one understanding what was going on. This made Gaudian a little embarrassed, but it was difficult to explain to Izzy on the steps, so he had to bow his head silently. At this time, Yanna, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Izzy suspiciously, and got up and tugged at his arm, even she felt that Izzy was embarrassed.
Looking at Gaudian with his head bowed at the bottom of the steps, Izzy had no choice but to sigh, "Okay, I'll give you a discount, you can drive out five hundred sets of armor tomorrow." "My lord, this ......" When Gao Dian heard this, his heart was still nervous, because five hundred sets was not a small number "My lord, this is ......" When he saw Izzy's deep eyes and released a serious and cold gaze, he swallowed back the second half of his sentence.
At this time, the corners of Izzy's mouth turned up slightly, and the scar on his face became terrifying at this moment: "You must drive out, if you can't do it, then I will deal with you in accordance with military law, because these five hundred sets of armor will determine our fate in the north......."
