As soon as Lance entered Master Rodwin's room, he was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of weapons and armor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The walls of the small hall are full of all kinds of weapons. Swords are the majority, but there are also spears and bows and arrows. And the circle around the wall was filled with armor glowing with cold light. And it's basically beautifully crafted plate armor. Every part of each piece of plate armor is carved with ornate ornamentation.

Looking at their forging techniques and casting techniques, each of these ornate pieces of armor is estimated to be priceless. I'm afraid that if it's a person, you will be deeply attracted by these armors and forget to return. However, there was too much ornate armor, which reduced Lance's interest in them.

Instead, Lance saw a very ordinary chain mail at this time. This piece of chain mail is equipped with plate armor on the elbow, right arm, and shoulder only. And the helmet is just the most ordinary flat-topped helmet, and even the edges and corners of the flat-topped helmet have anti-rust paint falling off.

If you were to comment on the other armors, Lance would not hesitate to name their respective gorgeous features. But this is only this ordinary piece of chain mail, which can no longer be ordinary, so that Lance has no idea what the significance of placing it here is, is it just to balance the appearance of the armor?

Lance walked over curiously, hesitantly stretched out his right hand, and lightly touched the chain mail. Suddenly, the chain mail let out a metallic crunch that pierced Lance's heart. For some reason, Lance felt as if the chain mail was alive.

"Looks like you've discovered something special about the 'Lakecenter Armor'?"

Lance hurriedly looked back, and a gray-haired old man in a brown cotton robe was holding on to the stairs and looking at him.

He has short energetic hair, and his face is carefully groomed, without a trace of messy stubble. The standard figure always reveals elegance and solemnity. At least of all the people Lance had seen so far, there was no more aristocratic than him.

"Grandpa Rodwen. Veronica nodded respectfully.

Because Rodwin is not a nobleman, Veronica, as a nobleman, is not actually obliged to salute Rodwin. Instead, Rodwin should salute Veronica as a sign of respect for his status.

But because Rodwin is a master of the industry, he is a well-known elder in society. Therefore, Veronica used a nod between her peers to show her respect for Master Rodwin's identity. And Rodwin also nodded back to show respect for Veronica's noble status. This is the etiquette that is enshrined in the Code of Javier.

"Lake-center armor? does it have a name?"

Lance looked back at the unpretentious chain mail, his heart full of doubts. This armor actually has a name.

With a rhythmic and slow "click", Master Rodwin walked down the wooden staircase: "That's right. Young man, tell me. With so many gorgeous armors, why are you alone in the corner caressing the featureless mid-lake armor?"

"I'm just curious why there is such an ordinary, even a little worn armor, among so many gorgeous and valuable armors. That's why I think this armor must be unusual. Maybe it's worth more than the rest of the armor. ”

When Master Rodwen heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone who comes to me basically only cares about these seemingly gorgeous armors. And ignore this ordinary, even a little worn armor. ”

Rodwin walked up to Lance, stroked the armor with his right hand and said, "Actually, it's the same as you think." Unbeknownst to them, this mid-lake armor was worth more than all the other armor combined. ”

"Really, more than all the ornate armor all around combined?" Lance didn't believe his ears.

"That's right. Why, young man, do you want to know the origin of this armor?"

Lance nodded excitedly and said, "Of course!"

Master Rodwin smiled and said, "You are the second person I know who recognizes this armor as special. Since you're so attached to this armor, I'll tell you about its origins. In fact, this armor is the armor of a great man, the 'Holy Emperor' Javier Orlando. ”

"'Holy Emperor' Javier!"

Lance knew the name, and although he had only been awake for a week, he had heard the name of the 'Holy Emperor' Javier countless times.

Javier Orlando turned out to be the widow of Otto III, the last emperor of the First Normanland Empire. In January 2898, St. Vienian, the capital of the Normanland Empire, which had been shaken in the wind and rain for 2898, was defeated by the combined forces of elves and dwarves. Otto III was beheaded.

Otto III's wife, Empress Annette, was pregnant with Otto III's posthumous son, crawled out of the hole in the wall and fled from St. Venian, who was slaughtered in the city. He took refuge in the Duchy of Idris, the maiden home of Empress Annette, and gave birth to a son, named Javier.

And Annette's father, Archduke Julian Calfitzer, concealed Javier's identity for the safety of Annette's mother and son. Just said that it was the adopted son of Empress Annette.

Later, the demons took advantage of the war between the elves and humans to take the opportunity to attack on a large scale. In the end, all the human kingdoms, dwarven kingdoms, and elven kingdoms except for the kingdom of Walkrant were conquered. Finally, the Second Age ended, and humanity entered the Dark Age. And the leader of the demon race this time is the "evil rebel god" - Metauk.

In the end, Javier went through hardships and wars, and made many achievements, becoming the mainstay of the resistance to the demons. Eventually, he inherited his grandfather's title of Duke of Idris and became a colt of the Kingdom of Vocrante.

Javier then led his army in a decisive battle against the evil rebel god Metuk in the Coast Mountains. Finally, armed with the holy sword of Ashraul, he killed Metauk's body. and imprisoned him forever in the reverse world.

After defeating the demons, Javier unified all the human kingdoms and defeated the elven army that had fallen against him. Unified the continents of Veniante and Norton, and established the Holy Normanland Empire. Since then, Havel has been known as the "Holy Emperor".

And this armor in the middle of the lake is Lily, the queen of the elf kingdom, forged with the powerful magic in the sacred lake of El and a gift to her friend Javier.

Master Rodwin invited Lance and Veronica to sit down, and then said, "That's right, legend has it that the location of Javier's sword, the Ashraur Sacred Sword, is hidden in this armor in the middle of the lake. But I've been researching for years and haven't found anything. ”

"I see. Lance's gaze lingered on the mid-lake armor. After listening to Master Rodwin's introduction, the Lakecenter armor became more attractive to Lance.

At this time, the previous messenger brought the freshly brewed black tea. For a moment, the three fell silent. It was very quiet, except for the tinkling of the messenger setting up the tea set.

Master Rodwen picked up the sugar and poured it into the black tea, and asked, "But after talking for a long time, young man, who are you?"

Lance suddenly retracted his gaze from the armor in the middle of the lake and said, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lance and I'm a friend of Veronica. ”

Master Rodwin nodded, took a sip of black tea, and said, "Winnie, I may be about to disappoint you." I probably won't be able to go because the Battlering Guild has events on the three days of May, and I have to attend. But after May, I'll visit Andrey. ”

Lance and Veronica didn't say anything yet, so they forcibly held back the words they had practiced along the way. It seems that Rodwin has already guessed their intentions.

"Alright, Grandpa Rodwin. I'll tell my grandfather. ”

Veronica couldn't think of anything else at this point. Maybe it's really Master Rodwin who knows Grandpa Andre too well. But the two of them are also old friends, so they don't care about that.

"Then Grandpa Rodwen, let's take our leave. I'm also going to accompany Lance to the Jean union. ”

As soon as Rodwin heard about Jean's union, he seemed to be interested: "What? Is it to identify the broken sword on the waist of this young man from Reims?"

Lance was stunned for a moment, then looked at the broken sword at his waist, and then nodded in surprise: "How do you know?"

"You can see it at a glance. Luo Wen slowly put down the black teacup, smiled and said:

"A female healer who was the first to save lives took a wounded patient and went around in Idiris. And this patient carried a clever but broken blade. Do I need to think more about such a perverse thing? Young Lance, can you show me your broken sword?"

"Oh......" Lance drew his broken sword and handed it to Master Rodwin.

Master Rodwen took the sword and gently brushed the blade of the broken sword. Then with a flick of the fingernail of the index finger, the blade of the sword suddenly made a crisp and pleasant sound.

Master Rodwin nodded slightly and said, "This sword is forged with very high-grade magic. You see, there is no sign of any engraving on the blade. It seems to be a natural thing. Only very advanced magic can create such a blade. ”

At this time, Master Rodwin returned the sword to Lance: "Did the dragon in your backpack use the dragon's breath to help you forge the blade?"

At this time, when Loxani heard this, she immediately jumped her head out of her backpack: "What? Old man, do you know that I am hiding in the package?"

"Don't be rude. ”

Lance hurriedly drank Locksani. However, Lance also admired this Rodwin master. As soon as Lance entered the door, they had already seen Master Rodwin very thoroughly.

"It doesn't matter. Master Rodwin smiled kindly, and then said, "I can feel your presence from the moment you enter the door. It's just that I think since you choose to hide, why do I have to tell it?, but I'm still curious, did you dragon clan use dragon breath to help forge this sword?"

Loxani climbed out of her backpack and flew to the table and said, "No, I don't feel any dragon magic in the broken sword. ”

"Then this is probably a mystery, alas...... I don't want to. Master Rodwin also smiled, waved his hand in abandonment, and said, "Then you should go to the Jean Union." Although I think there's a good chance they didn't include the sword. But what if there is?"

"Then Grandpa Rodwin, we'll take our leave. After Mayday, we look forward to seeing you there. ”

With that, Lance followed Veronica towards the door.

But when Lance was halfway there, Master Rodwin said, "Young Lance, I have one more piece of advice. ”

"Master, you say. ”

Master Rodwen said earnestly: "Before you understand the ins and outs of this broken sword and its magical attributes, I suggest that you do not easily urge the magic in the broken sword. Or don't use it altogether. I know it must be powerful and sharp, but it also contains unknown dangers. We should be in awe and wary of every powerful force. ”

"Your words, Grandpa Andrei also warned me. The younger generation must remember. ”

Well, he didn't see it as an accident. ”

And Lance and Veronica said goodbye to Master Rodwin once again and walked in the direction of Jean's Union. And Lance's left hand tightly grasped the hilt of the broken sword at his waist.
