Buried his uncle Nathan Garrett in the family cemetery behind the castle, Dane glanced at the dark night and bowed deeply to Oakes beside him:

"I'm sorry, President...... I'm ...... on behalf of my uncle."

"No, he's already paid the price."

Oakes stopped Dane, and he patted the young man on the shoulder, with some emotion:

"In the afternoon, I was even looking forward to the classical aristocratic tea party that your uncle had told me about before, but I didn't expect it......

You can choose to take revenge on me, or you can choose to atone for your uncle's sins, and I respect your choice no matter what. ”

"I'm not going to take revenge, President."

Dane took a long breath and said in a firm tone:

"Uncle told me everything, the sin he committed...... And that's not all. ”

"Huh?"

Oakes was really surprised:

"What do you mean?"

"Uncle he, he failed to inherit the ebony sword of the ancestor Sir Percy, so he has always been unwilling-

But in fact, even if you don't appear, your uncle is already full of evil. ”

Dane looked at Oakes' wide-eyed eyes and shook his head with a wry smile:

"On the surface, he is a master of genetics in academia, but secretly, he is a super criminal 'Black Knight'-

The name began to gain a reputation in England a decade ago, but with the Battle of New York and the Avengers' activism, it has disappeared.

Uncle he told me that it was because he saw the performance of you, the Great War President of New York, and focused all his energy on researching the ancient inheritance. ”

“……”

What else can Oakes say, this guy is a habitual offender!

"Uncle, the reason why he doesn't have a good relationship with me is because of the ultra-nationalism he shows in private-

He considered the Anglo-Saxons, who were the enemies of King Arthur, to be a blasphemy against their ancestors now all over the lands of Britain......"

Dane spread his hands a little helplessly:

"It's a frustrating thought, isn't it? But uncle, he is just stubborn.

So his purpose in doing these things was also to gain supernatural powers, to 'purify' Britain......

It wasn't until just now that he realized his mistake and threw the matter of atonement to me. ”

“……”

Oakes covered his forehead, there is still this file here?!

Garrett this guy, "purifying" Britain?

Fortunately, he didn't stay in Dane's face!

"The British themselves don't care about that...... After more than a thousand years of world changes, the legend of King Arthur has also been changed by dynasties of various eras for their own rule, I don't know how many times. ”

Oakes shrugged with tears and laughter:

"This legendary king of Celtic Britain is a devout believer in God by the church, so if I want to say that, as a descendant of Gudruyin, do I still have to bulldoze the Vatican and correct King Arthur's name?"

"Uh...... So, my conflict with my uncle has always been quite big, and this is only one of the aspects. ”

Dane sighed:

"Then then, we have to go and see the troublesome things he left behind......"

He scratched his head with some distress:

"Uncle said that the sword is very evil, I don't know if I can pass its test."

"Try it."

Oakes patted him on the shoulder:

"At least you'll be much safer while I'm here—and even if you don't get recognition like your uncle, at least this thing won't be life-threatening."

"That's right."

Dane nodded, and returned to the castle with Oakes.

At least Mr. President should be safe while he's here.

So, after rummaging through the cabinets, Dane found a long old wooden box.

The wooden box is delicately carved with a relief, and in the center is a red bird emblem of eucalyptus.

"This thing...... It just looks weird......"

Dane took a deep breath and took out the key left by his uncle to open the lock, but gave up just as he was about to open the box.

"I ...... I don't think I'm ready to ......"

Dane took two steps back and rubbed his hands, looking nervous and strange:

"A few hours ago, I was preparing to become a civilian, managing a continent in the Guild, but now I'm exposed to magic?"

He looked at Oaks pleadingly:

"President, isn't this going to be too sudden?"

"It's all come to this point, you don't care if it's sudden or not."

Oakes touched his chin and slapped him with a hand......

A slap-like mark flashed over Dane's head, making him feel that his physical fitness and spirit had improved in all aspects!

"Is that okay? If you think about it, you have been trained to practice swordsmanship since you were a child, do you think that this day is normal?

Rest assured, you should be the branch president and become a civil servant will not change. ”

Oakes smiled and encouraged Dane:

"Hurry up, open it and take a look, you must know that this is the ...... created by Archmage Merlin Well, at least it's the magical weapon he enchanted, and there is no such good thing in Avalon! ”

“……”

Dane grinned, but Oakes' wild blessing had given him a lot of confidence.

So he gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and slowly opened the wooden box-

"Death...... It's a reward for me......"

An ethereal voice came from the wooden box, causing Dane to take several steps back.

"This ......"

He stared at the ancient handwriting carved on the back of the lid of the wooden box, and it took a long time to look away.

In the wooden box was a black velvet cushion with a black knight's two-handed sword firmly wrapped in runic cloth.

"It's ...... Magic Seal? ”

Oakes narrowed his eyes, he could see the effect of the rune strips, the magic on them, although faint, still working.

And the voice just now was very much like some kind of ...... on an ebony sword Conscious.

“……”

Dane swallowed, the sword looked very exquisite, and the body of the sword that emerged from the rune cloth seemed to have fine lines.

His breathing grew heavier, and he slowly reached out and reached for the part of the sword that was not wrapped in rune cloth—

As his fingers approached, the fine lines on the sword's body suddenly moved, surging in the direction of his hand!

Oakes' eyes on the side sharpened, while Dane seemed to be attracted by something, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and his right hand pressed the ebony sword!

"Hum—"

A strange buzzing sound erupted, and the rune cloth seal on the ebony sword exploded, and then the fine lines on the sword's body were like flowing water, wrapping Dane's whole body in the blink of an eye!

"This thing...... What a strong enchantment! ”

Oakes frowned, Dane's signs of life were stable, and he could be sure that this thing was not an evil weapon that would drain life or something.

However, the powerful magic on the ebony sword still made him secretly frightened.

This thing is worthy of being produced by Merlin, who may be a supreme mage, and Dane, who is an ordinary person, should have the ability to fight with Steve with the addition of this sword!

The seal was gone, and Oakes literally sensed the breath of the soul on the sword.

This should be the origin of the sound on the ebony sword.

"Uh......"

Wrapped in black lines, Dane seems to be in some kind of mysterious "inheritance ritual", letting out unconscious moans.

A moment later, the ebony sword burst into a flash of light—

Oakes was shocked to find that the long sword suddenly disappeared into the wooden box, and then appeared in Dane's hand in the form of the hilt being held!

At the same time, the black lines on Dane's body disappeared abruptly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Can be summoned automatically...... Like Mjölnier? ”

Oakes smiled, and just wanted to step forward to congratulate him, but saw Dane let out a low roar and fell to his knees in pain!

"Ahh

As if he couldn't let go of one hand, he still clung to the hilt of his sword, and with the other he grabbed his hair in pain, his eyes were even bloodshot, and his breathing began to fall!

"Kill...... More ......"

A low, painful roar rang out from Dain's mouth, but the voice seemed to change from a different person.

Oakes' face was grim, and the magic in his hand slapped directly on Dane.

With the help of Oakes' magic, the blood in Dane's eyes faded slightly, and he struggled to make his original voice:

"President...... This sword ...... Seducing me...... Kill...... Yes......!! ”

Oakes' hands shrouded in green light, and the huge force of nature around him was mobilized by him, turning into pacification magic, trying to dispel the anomaly on Dane's body.

However, this powerful dispel effect will only keep Dane awake for a few seconds at most, and then he will be consumed by bloodlust!

"It's a curse...... A powerful curse from the Ebony Sword, the sword itself must be addressed -

Dispel! ”

Oakes tried to cast dispel magic on the Ebony Sword, but he discovered that the sword was highly resistant to magic!

Dispel magic doesn't work!

Oakes snorted coldly, and while maintaining the pacification spell on Dane's body, he directly opened Avalon's teleportation channel by his side.

A large pile of vines stretched out from the passage, tied Dane firmly, and dragged him directly into the passage!

Oakes turned and stepped into the passage, summoning all the forces of nature that he could muster—

"Dispel!"

Unleashed a dispel spell that was even more powerful than the previous time when he dispersed the holy oak, and the curse on the ebony sword finally failed to resist!

"Thank you...... Drew Yin ......"

The fragments of the soul resting on the sword dissipated into the air in a soft whisper, causing Oakes to squint.

"Whew, Whew, Whew......"

Dane knelt on the lawn in front of the holy oak with his ebony sword in hand, gasping violently for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Ancestral ......"

The curse has been dispelled, and he has fully mastered this family heirloom.

"The curse just now...... Is it Sir Percy? ”

Oakes' voice came, and Dane noticed that his environment was completely different.

"It's the tainted souls of the ancestors......"

Dane's mouth slowly opened wide, he remembered that he was in the castle:

"This ...... Here it is?! ”

"Your uncle's dream, the ideal country of independence, Avalon."

Oakes patted him on the shoulder:

"The real headquarters of the future Rendekai!"
