Chapter 40: The Magic Sword, Camodinero
"You didn't know all along?" Curry paused slightly, "That was a long time ago, at least a decade or even decades before you and I were born. ”
"I have the impression that Mr. Astirring and my father should belong to two completely different worlds, and how they intersected. Salen's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with some interest.
"So, you don't know your father at all. Ke Rui closed his eyes and took a sip of tea, "I don't know the specific situation, but it should be because of alchemy." I used to hear my father describe Sadimins as 'that paranoid alchemist' for ...... It seems to have something to do with the alchemy project studied by Sadimins' predecessors. But I think their relationship should be very unusual, or my father wouldn't have given you this sword after saving you. You must know that we businessmen are creatures who take profit as the standard of action, and we will never do anything that has no benefit and suffers a lot. ”
As he spoke, Curry's gaze was on the silver-iron sword that wore on Salen's waist.
Twenty-eight-year-old Saren is three years older than twenty-five-year-old Curry. Ever since he left Curry and his son for the Skanth Demon Sea Trial ten years ago, the sword has been Salen's only companion, and Saren trusts it more than anything else, despite the sword's ......
It seemed that Curry's words evoked some memories of Salen, and his gaze stayed on the sword in his hand, on the dim and demonic diamond-shaped red crystal like an eye, and kept watching, watching...... Then, he smiled.
Even Curry, who had practiced all sorts of smiles countless times when he was alone, had never seen Saren smile like that he had now.
Although he looked like he was smiling, there was no hint of a smile in Saron's indifferent eyes. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth implied five points of indifference, three points of contempt, one point of arrogance, and ...... A point of deep desolation.
"What's wrong with you?" looked at Saren at this time, Curry frowned slightly.
Years of traveling as a merchant have tempered Curry's extraordinary state of mind and terrifying eyes, and there are very few existences that can make Curry feel unfathomable and incomprehensible in his heart. But apparently, Saren is one of the few such beings - a man who has returned from hell.
"Do you remember what Mr. Astirling said when he handed me this sword? Salen's indifferent eyes stayed on the sword's body, and he asked without moving.
“...... Because I didn't understand, I kept remembering. Curry was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"I understand now. Saren looked up at Curry, "What that really means." ”
...... "This sword, it's very interesting, it can both save you and kill you." If you really want it, I'll give it to you, after all, it's nothing more than a potential threat to where you're going. You...... Think about it, do you dare to ask for it?" ......
"When I was the beginning, I said, 'dare'. ”
Saren closed his eyes, his fingers habitually caressing the diamond-shaped red crystal on the sword's body. Curry was silent, knowing that Saren hadn't finished yet.
"I've been holding it in my hands for ten years in the Scanter Magic Sea, and it's only when I feel like it's still there, and I have an illusory sense of peace of mind. Until one day...... I met a man. ”
......
"Where did you get this sword? ”
"Is this an important question? ”
“...... Do you know the origin of this sword? ”
"I don't know, but it seems like you do. ”
"This sword, although it is not one of the three great divine swords left by the creation god, is a magic sword forged by the legendary demons who fought against the gods...... You have this sword, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. ”
"Blessing or curse, what does it matter to me. ”
"The magic sword is different from the divine sword, it is left by the devil, the most evil thing, and it has the power to destroy the common people. But...... A sword is a sword, a weapon, the right thing to use is right, the right thing to use is evil, and the person who holds the sword is the key key. Now the demon has disappeared with the gods, and the magic sword has no owner, and it is free for anyone to use at will...... But this is only temporary, while you are using the magic sword, the magic sword is also watching you. If it thinks you are qualified enough to be its master, when the time comes, it will recognize you as Lord, and its power will be used to your advantage until you die...... Still, if it thinks you're not qualified, you'll be dragged into hell by it. ”
“...... Hehe, pull me to hell? Interesting, I'm ...... right now. Isn't it already here? ”
......
“...... That person, who is it. Curry's voice was a little low and hoarse, and he looked at Saren with a solemn gaze.
"He is the master of the Scanter Sea and one of the creators of the Scanter Sea. His name...... I don't know if you've heard of it. Saren opened his eyes and looked at Curry, "...... Camodinero. ”
"Camodinero?"
Ke Rui frowned, closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, then his eyes opened suddenly, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked a little incredulous: "He's still alive!"
Camo Dingluo, few people should know this name now, after all, too much time has passed, Mo said that on the mainland, even if it is in the human race, I am afraid that there are only some old monsters who have lived for an unknown amount of time and vaguely remember that one of the four founding fathers of the Killer Guild was one of them, and the others ......
"The person who can make him known as 'that' is probably the only one in the world today, inside and outside the human race. Saren narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if to sigh.
"From the time of the ancient gods to the present...... Could it be that this senior has reached the level of immortality?" If Karis had told him that the Dragons had an ancient dragon that had existed from ancient times to the present, he would have reluctantly accepted it, but the Terrans ...... Among the six major races in the Holy Ancient Continent, the human race, which is the most fragile in life, could there be such an existence?
"Immortal? No, Curry, although the teacher is not dead, he can't be said to be alive anymore. Salen's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking of something: "He's not so much immortal...... It's better to say that there is no life or death. ”
"Not alive or dead?" Curry didn't understand.
"Something like a demon. Saren picked up the teacup and sipped it on his lips: "In other words, he is no longer a life." ”
“......”
Hearing Salen's words, Curry didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what to say. Right now...... He found that he didn't seem to have the ability or qualifications to talk about it.
"Compared to your question, whether it's the magic sword or anything else, it's nothing at all, I know what you think, for me...... You can rest assured that right now, solving your own affairs is the main thing. ”
Looking at Curry out of the corner of his eye, Saren put down the cup in his hand: "I don't believe you haven't encountered anything interesting since I left, anyway, there is still a lot of time for us to chat today, just tell me about it." ”
“...... Again, I had a really interesting experience, and it happened recently. ”
Ke Rui lowered his head, and after a long time, the corners of his mouth showed his usual faint smile again, and he took a deep breath and said.
......
"Excuse me, did you buy this magic red crystal at this store?"
A sweet voice sounded from the counter, and Rawls, who was lying on the counter with a headache for reading, raised his head suddenly, looked at the guest in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth-
"This sense of foreboding...... Could it be ......?"
