Chapter 95: The Sword and the Possession (1)
The Tana continent is vast, spanning almost half the world from east to west, and the temperature difference between the north and the south is huge, and the earthquake thousands of years ago brought the originally fragmented continental plates together, which also made multiple cultures constantly friction and collide, breeding a lot of contradictions, and therefore there were many wars. The people of Tana believed that it was the most basic duty to protect their families by strengthening their bodies and learning swordsmanship, so whether they were ordinary people or non-commissioned officials, they would have an ancestral sword in their homes.
The Holy Light Divine Beast is their faith, but it is the sword that is placed together with the Divine Beast Spirit Seat.
Jack was determined to learn swordsmanship from Tex, but he was limited to dreaming about swordsmanship before going to bed, and there was no actual action, and his swordsmanship had not improved significantly for so long.
When Tex talked to Jack about swordsmanship, he said: "I told you before, swordsmanship is not fast, everyone who uses a sword is almost ten years to sharpen a sword, you have not had a good foundation since you were a child, to be honest, even if you are really given the opportunity to practice, it is impossible for you to use force to defeat any ordinary person in two or three years." ”
These words hit Jack hard, he knew that he wanted to conquer the future with his ability, but the person who knew him best gave him the strongest denial.
Just as he was about to say something, Turks gagged him again.
"I want to tell you something, though. ”
"What's the matter?"
Tex drew his Soul Eater Sword, and the python carved into the sword came to life, as if it could rush out and bite at any moment.
"According to legend, all swords in this world have their own souls, which is why people who use swords can feel why their swords are like life. In the same way, your Ningfu sword also has it, you have to believe that. When the Soul Eater Sword was forged, there was only one person who actually put it to use, and that was King Fenner. It is said that it was with this sword that King Fenner swept away the turbulent and chaotic territory of the Missus Kingdom at that time, unified the country, and drove away the remnants of foreign soldiers and revenant beasts. My father said something to me, he said that the Soul Devouring Sword didn't have much lethality, and it was the Holy Light Divine Beast that existed at that time that gave it this power. Judging from our recent discoveries, it is very likely that the thing that the sword was given to was the spirit stone!"
The words were not shocking and endless, and although Jack was confused, he still remembered the word "spirit stone".
"So, maybe the spirit stone can be attached to the sword?"
Tex nodded: "Well, otherwise, it is impossible for anyone to unify the country with the help of a beast or a single sword." I think that's probably what everyone doesn't understand. ”
Jack was surprised: "And how do you know? No one ever found out, but only you found out, it seems a bit far-fetched." ”
Tex laughed, "Hehe, yes, only I found out. It's very simple, because I've been practicing swords since I first knew how to walk, and I've grown so big, except for Doug who taught me the art of summoning spirits, I think this sword is useful, and other times, I really just think it's very ordinary, it's just the fine iron that has been tempered into a sword. You must know that such an important sword, which has been passed down for thousands of years, was easily given to me by my father, except that it has no bright spots in itself, do you think there is anything unusual about it?"
Jack got it all right. The Ningfu sword is in his hand, black as ink, it looks extremely ugly, and it is grotesque, if he can use a sword, he will definitely choose to change to another good-looking sword to match.
"So, why don't we study it?" Jack whispered.
"Turks! The soldiers outside the city are ready! What are you two muttering down there, let's go!"
Suddenly, Cologne's shout was heard at the city gate. Turks and Jack, who had been hiding under the door, hurriedly sorted out their thoughts and hurried out.
"Father, don't worry, we will investigate and come back!" Tex-like Coren standing on the tower of the city made a thoughtful gesture of his palm to show his determination.
Jack winked at him, meaning: Let's talk when we're far away.
Tex pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
"Do you two have some secret secrets? ”
The two of them thought they had been hiding from the world, but they forgot that there was another one with him--Luther.
Awkward, Turks tried to hide it, but he was sure that Luthor would keep asking questions. He, such an observant and scheming person, really can't hide anything from him.
Under Luther's questioning, Tex, who had been thinking about it for a long time, told the truth.
"We wonder if we can give a sword a spirit. ”
Luther burst out laughing: "Hahaha!"
Jack and Turks looked at each other, not knowing why.
"Laugh at something. ”
The troops were already marching in the direction of the Lost Forest, a thousand men, all on foot.
"Turks, don't you know about this continent or what? Think about it, where did the word "spirit" come from?"
At this point, Tex had no choice but not to hide it: "...... from your mouth" Tex was a little ashamed because of the revelation of the matter at this time, and his face turned red like a child.
"Isn't that right? Why are you hiding it from me?"
"Okay, I see, don't mention it. ”
Luthor withdrew from the group, pulled the two aside, and said, "Why don't you mention it? I know what a spirit possession is, don't you wonder if I know how to have a spirit in it?"
Tex was caught: "Cut, how do you possibly know." I've looked up a lot of books, but there's no such thing as a spirit at all, that's just what you said. ”
"Nonsense, if there is a record, then not everyone knows, how can there be so many spirit stones for them to consume. It's stupid!"
Being scolded for no reason, Tex was a little upset at first, but after thinking about it, Luthor was no longer the cold and arrogant divine envoy, he was now a friend, and all the words were for his sake. Now he wanted to open it.
And we believed. ”
Luthor smiled proudly, "Well, not bad, not bad. Right now, we have the opportunity and the materials, so we might as well ...... Just give it a try?"
Luthor spoke so lightly that Turks couldn't believe it.
"Is it that easy? Come on?" Turks handed over his Soul Eater Sword.
In the darkness, the light of the torches seemed to burn the entire sky, making the three "conspirators" as mysterious as ghosts.
"Jack, where's the Green Spirit Stone?" asked Luther, holding out his hand.
"Oh", Jack reacted, quickly spread out the palm of his right hand, closed his eyes and stood still.
"What a strange shape, is that how you hid spirit stones, where did you learn it?" asked Tex.
Jack didn't speak, but the center of his palm suddenly gave birth to a cyan brilliance, illuminating the top of the three people's heads, scattering in the night sky, attracting a wave of onlookers from the soldiers.
The cyan light became more and more dazzling, and the color became deeper and deeper, and finally, it turned into a spirit stone, half-hanging above Jack's palm.
"Awesome! Soul Control Secret Technique is really amazing!" Luthor couldn't help but exclaim.
