Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Legend of the Swordsman
The Nameless King, of course you Chu remembers this legend.
Or rather, no one should be unaware.
It's impossible for any summoner born in this era not to have heard this story. The king with supreme power, commanding the three [legendary] level guardian beasts that guard the sky, earth, and sea respectively, is known as the strongest summoner in history.
But more people want to believe that it is a myth than history.
"There's no credible evidence that the king really exists, does it?" You Chu asked, "I always thought that the dynasty was just a legend. β
"It's just that no evidence was found, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it's fake...... And that was until before this year. β
Principal Dong took a small biscuit with a beautiful design from the small saucer, and at the same time pushed the dish to You Chu. You Chu politely excused himself.
"Until this year, that means, there has been a lot of progress?" You Chu noticed the principal's words.
Principal Dong took a sip of tea and looked out the window.
"It was probably at the beginning of this year." He said slowly, "A different dimensional space that emerged from the imperial capital, a team of experts entered and explored that realm.
There, for the first time, we found evidence that the Nameless King really existed. β
You Chu didn't make a sound, and sat on the side and listened quietly.
"From a modern point of view, it's a tomb." Principal Dong said, "The entire extradimensional space is like an incomparably huge mausoleum, only incomparably huge, much larger than any mausoleum we have known so far.
The specifications of the building, the craftsmanship of its workmanship, and some of the materials we have found in it all testify to the dignity of the mausoleum's owner. β
You Chu guessed somewhat: "You mean...... The nameless king? β
"yes." Principal Dong said, "The countless indications found in it all indicate that the owner of the mausoleum is the unknown king we know well.
In that dimension, we found ancient and rare materials, as well as some ancient documents that are even more valuable in restoring history.
The value of that mausoleum has been assessed to be immeasurable, and we have gained a great deal from it in just six months...... But that's just the tip of the iceberg. β
Principal Dong put down the teacup.
"Until...... The exploration has encountered a number of obstacles. β
"Obstacles?"
"Yes." "After exploring for some distance, the mausoleum prevented the team from going any further. All the routes that go deep are sealed by huge golden door panels, made of materials we have never seen before, and very strong. β
"Can't force it open?" You Chu asked.
The combat power of the magic spirit held by the top summoner is very terrifying, needless to say that the human race still has the top magic spirit on the artificial technology side.
As long as the firepower is in place, any obstacle should be a no-brainer.
"Maybe, but no one has tried it yet." Principal Dong said, "Because doing so will inevitably damage the mausoleum itself." The mausoleum of this space is worth a lot of money, and we don't want to cause any damage if we can. β
"...... like this"
Principal Dong continued, "In short, the conclusion we have come so far is that the king had the power to open up a different dimensional space during his lifetime, so they opened up a new different dimensional space and built the king's tomb there.
In short, the progress of the expert group has been stuck for a long time by the doors that sealed the tomb. During this period, summoners from all over the country participated in related research fields, and I was invited to see it once, but I have to admit that the exploration work has indeed reached an impasse. β
When the principal said this, he paused, and glanced at the moonlight beside You Chu with some meaning.
Moonlight tilted her head and blinked her jeweled eyes at the old headmaster.
"Until a month ago...... To be precise
, that is, the day of August 7th. He said, "The mausoleum moved." β
You Chu's eyelids jumped.
August 7...... Isn't that the day you crossed over?
It was also the day when [Hui Swordsman Moonlight] appeared.
He stole a glance at the moonlight, but the girl didn't respond, looking like she didn't know what was happening.
"So," You Chu's gaze returned to the old principal, "the door is open?" β
"Not really, but there are a few pillars in the mausoleum." Principal Dong said, "After expert appraisal, it is believed that those pillars that should be given to young summoners for trials in ancient times are a sign of points.
When a young summoner completes a trial, one of the stone pillars is lit. β
"Trial."
You Chu immediately remembered the remnant of the mysterious summoner he had just encountered in the Crucible Dimension, as well as the mysterious summoner remnant in the dark jungle before.
"After those days, no one did anything, and the stone pillar reacted on its own." Principal Dong continued, "One of the stone pillars was suddenly lit up.
We believe that it should be the pillar that represents a certain trial that has been passed. β
"You mean ......"
"Yes, you should have guessed that." Principal Dong smiled, "That day happened to be the day when the 'Dark Jungle' dimension of Blue City was opened for exploration.
Also, by the way, just before meeting you, I had already contacted the person in charge at the entrance of the mausoleum to confirm.
As we speak, the second pillar has been lit. β
β...... Because I just passed the second trial? You Chu asked.
"I think so." Principal Dong sat up straight, "You already know that we unearthed a record of the Nameless King a long time ago.
According to the records, his trump card is the three guardian gods who guard the heavens and the earth, and the strongest magic spirit at the legendary level.
But what you don't know is that some of the accounts we've unearthed this year suggest that the Nameless King didn't control the Patronus from the beginning.
In the early records, his ace sorcerer was said to be a swordsman of unparalleled destructive power, unparalleled in his swordsmanship, capable of sweeping away thousands of armies with the power of a single man.
And even if it is said that the strongest hole card of the queen is the guardian god, in fact, his most trusted right-hand man is always the swordsman and magician. β
You Chu: "! β
The Ace of the Nameless King...... Is it actually a swordsman?
"Oh yes, there's one more thing." Principal Dong said, "What I didn't mention just now, at the entrance of the mausoleum, there is a huge badge in the main hall.
That badge ......"
"The badge on the hilt of the Moonlight Sword." You Chu guessed.
"Yes."
Principal Dong smiled.
"Well, I think you'd pretty much guessed it.
Why does the Mausoleum activate the moment you summon 'Hui Swordsman Moonlight'?
Why do the trials of the mausoleum follow wherever you go?
Why is the pattern of that badge everywhere in the trials and tombs? β
Principal Dong crossed his fingers, and his eyes fell on the cute swordsman girl.
There is only one answer!
Your sorcerer, Swordsman Moonlightβ
- She is from that ancient dynasty, the strongest swordsman under the command of the Nameless King! β
