Chapter 168: Acelot's Scabbard
Six hours had passed since the chaos caused by the Hunter Hunters, and night had finally fallen after a day of fierce fighting, and the Guild had sent Nishizawa to assist Hoshihan in investigating the incident, but for some reason, Serex did not appear in Santa Starina as expected.
"Huh, I woke up, I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning. Xing Han leaned on the chair and looked through the magic book borrowed from Fei'er by the faint light of the lamp, and saw that Rose on the side showed signs of waking up before closing the book and putting it aside.
"Star Chill...... What time is it?" asked Rose, rubbing her half-open eyes, vaguely.
Xing Han glanced back at the alarm clock on the table: "Seven o'clock, how is Rose's body, there is no abnormality after using that forbidden weapon, right?"
"Well, no......" Rose glanced at the night outside the window and plunged into the bed, and it took nearly three seconds for her to get out again, "It's hot......"
"Huh, there's no air conditioner for you here, besides, aren't you an ice powerhouse?" Xing Han glanced at Rose with some puzzlement, it was embarrassing for her to cover such a thick quilt this season.
"Hmm......" Rose seemed speechless, grabbing the corner of the quilt with both hands to cover her nose.
The silence was slow, and the two of them seemed to have spent centuries in this time and space, but Xing Han finally couldn't resist Rose, who usually didn't talk much, and asked eagerly, "Rose, can you tell me about that forbidden weapon?"
"What do you mean?" asked Rose, pulling the quilt down a little, revealing her mouth.
"The forbidden weapon...... Uh, what's it called...... Oh yes, Ice Dancer, it's not ...... No, what should I say......" Xinghan asked some incompatible questions in confusion.
Rose hadn't seen Princess Lina, of course she didn't know that the forbidden sword she was using was this Ice Dancer, and Xing Han, who wanted to explain all this, was not happy, he didn't understand the reason behind this matter and everything here in the sixteenth century, and now he was just telling Rose some bits and pieces.
"That's right, but Xinghan, it's so strange......" Rose said, putting her hand on her chest, as if sensing some kind of power.
"Hmm, what's strange, could it be that there is something unusual about the forbidden weapon?" Xing Han stood up a little nervously.
Rose shook her head and said, "No...... The anxiety I felt when I lost the blue conviction before disappeared......"
"Gone?"
"Well, gone. It's like Blue Conviction is back, and its power is very similar to Blue Conviction......" Rose's face did look much better than yesterday, but judging from her appearance, she herself didn't know about Ice Dancer.
"By the way, Rose, come with me now, I hope to see her solve some mysteries. Xing Han suddenly remembered something, grabbed Rose's slender wrist and ran out of the room.
"Hey, Xinghan, what are you doing?"
As soon as he rushed out of the room, he ran into Phantom Night who was sitting in the living room eating snacks, but Xing Han just ignored her about what was in front of him and quickly rushed out of the door.
"Ah~ really, what's going on lately~ Hmph! Let's go over and take a look......" Phantom Night angrily threw down the snack in his hand, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he followed out with a smile.
Xing Han's speed is very fast, and he doesn't give the phantom night who wants to catch up with him a chance at all, like a beam of arrows off the string, and of course Rose behind him can't keep up with this speed, so he can only be dragged behind by Xing Han without saying a word.
......Ten minutes later, Xinghan finally stopped in an empty corridor, he didn't expect the distance from the faculty dormitory to the underground castle to be so long, and he didn't feel this way when he was with Yuexing.
"Is it there?" said Rose, busy arranging her messy hair.
Xing Han wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, it's too big here, I haven't been there for so long......"
"Hey, Xinghan!" came the voice of Phantom Night behind her, it sounded like she was tired a lot, and it would take some skill not to be thrown off at this speed.
"Phantom Night, why are you here?" Xing Han looked at Phantom Night, who was panting in front of him, with a puzzled expression.
"It's not like you're ignoring me, but then again, where are you going?" asked Phantom Night after gasping for a moment.
Xinghan didn't know how to explain it, it was true that this matter was too difficult to say, but fortunately, after running all the way, the underground castle was already close at hand.
"Forget it, Phantom Night, you come with me, right here, you should be able to see it, right?" Xing Han asked, pointing to the staircase leading to the underground not far away.
Phantom Night looked at Xing Han's fingers, and the stairs of the black hole didn't know where it led: "Yes, why do you ask?"
"Because only the user of the forbidden weapon can see this entrance, well~ Although I'm not too sure, it's better for you to come over. Xing Han took a few steps forward only to realize that he had neglected someone.
Rose stood silently by the wall, the white pajamas she was wearing covered her thighs, and she had never changed the clothes that were still ice pupils. But now Rose seemed to have some difficulty, and stayed where she was and didn't want to follow.
"Xinghan, why isn't Rose wearing shoes?" Phantom Night looked down from Rose's white legs, two delicate little feet were close to the ground, and the ground here has become potholes because it has been uninhabited all year round, and there are even protruding spikes on the net in some places.
Xinghan didn't say anything, but picked up Rose according to the meaning of Phantom Night, and then walked to the dark staircase. Rose stuck her head on Xinghan's body, as if she didn't want others to see her expression.
"Well, what's in there? It seems to have a power similar to that of a forbidden weapon. "Phantom Night summoned a cloud of light that illuminated the area, and I should have brought her out that night if I knew it would.
Xing Han explained: "It's not the same, it's a forbidden weapon, but it has a user. ”
"Is there a user? is it an enemy?" Phantom Night became vigilant, and placed his other hand on the incandescent flame at his waist, as if the incandescent bullet would shoot out in an instant if there was a slight movement anywhere.
"Don't worry, it's not an enemy, she's a sixteenth-century princess who was sealed here, remember the story Alyssa told us?" Xinghan hinted as he walked.
"Oh, yes, what about the princess~ It must be similar to Sister Ice Pupil, right?" Phantom Night relaxed slightly, and the hand on the incandescent flame naturally hung down to the side of her body.
"Ice pupils...... Who knows, I've only met her once. While chatting, I came to a small iron door, "Eh, that's not right......"
Xing Han carefully recalled, the last time he came here, there should have been no such door, could it be because there was no light around and he neglected this guy?
"What's wrong, won't you go in?" Phantom Night put her hand on the iron door, which was so cold that she couldn't detect the flow of power inside, as if she had cut off the ends.
"No, it's okay, let's go inside. Xing Han gently pushed open the other door panel, and the moment the two door panels separated, an ice-blue light suddenly poured out, accompanied by a hint of coolness, and a blue big sword quickly pressed against Xing Han's throat.
"Hey, Linna, don't you know me?" Xing Han pulled away Linna's sword with his fingers, and a piercing cold passed down his fingers to his heart.
"Warrior, why are you here?" Lena seemed to know Hoshihan as she removed the forbidden sword from the air and held it in her hand and never lifted it again.
Xing Han put Rose on Linna's bed, and she obediently made a sword-holding movement with her right hand and said, "My sword, the name is called Ice Dancing Queen......"
"Uh......" Rose's hand seemed to be stabbed by something, and the moment she withdrew it, Xing Han clearly saw the pain on her face.
"Rose!"
"I lent you this sword for the time being, and now it's time for you to return it, Blake Rose. Lina's left arm shook, and a magical inscription attached to it cracked.
"You...... Why do you know my name......" Rose asked, trembling her body.
Lina held the Ice Dancing Ji aloft, and at the same time condensed a scabbard about the size of it in her left hand, with a beautiful shape and texture: "Since I lent you the forbidden sword, of course I know about you." ”
"Linna, what the hell is going on?" Xinghan looked at Linna and the Ice Dancer who had already withdrawn the scabbard in her hand, confused.
"Warrior, since the day you came here, I suddenly sensed the fluctuations of the energy sources in the outside world, and one of them was very unstable, and that was her. Lena looked at the distracted Rose, and continued: "You don't know yet, in fact, every forbidden weapon has its 'scabbard', as long as the forbidden sword is put into its own scabbard, then it will cut off all contact with the outside world. And this scabbard is a special power, which we call - Acelot. ”
"Isn't it a scabbard, why bother with that?"
"Hear me out, warrior. The so-called scabbard of the forbidden sword is a very special power, and it is also the only energy that can suppress the forbidden sword in many other worlds and the real world. ”
"Suppress the power of the forbidden sword?!" Xing Han was shocked, because he had never heard of the existence of such an ability.
"A forbidden weapon that has been suppressed will lose its aura and the burden it causes when using it. Although it is said to be the power to suppress the forbidden weapon, it is also the only power in the world that can repair the forbidden weapon. The forbidden weapon covered by Acelot will repair the damage caused when using it at an extremely fast speed, and the scope of this damage includes the mental power consumed by the owner when using the forbidden weapon. ”
"What...... Restore mental power?Isn't there no power that can be hostile to the forbidden weapon user?" Phantom Night also opened his mouth in surprise, for the user, the most important thing is the spiritual power consumed, if Acelot's power is really magical enough to repair mental power, then every forbidden weapon user will be an extremely powerful combat force.
"It can't be said that Acelot's repair power is only based on the user's physical strength, that is, the more this power is used, the faster the physical strength will be consumed. Lena glanced at the lamp on the table, which would not go out anytime soon.
"Wait, since this kind of power is based on physical strength, why didn't you consume it after using Acelot?" Xing Han looked at the scabbard above the Ice Dancer with suspicious eyes, and could indeed feel a strange power coming from it, but the Ice Dancer below couldn't feel it at all.
"Warriors, it's because of ......"
