Chapter 168: The Legacy of the Sword Master
Embodiment can also be called materialization, which is simply the transformation of conceptual existence into concrete reality, which is a word that involves the basic rules of the world, and many people cannot understand the meaning of it even if they have heard it. ใStarterใ
Elle was lucky to be someone who could understand the word, as the runic power he used was the most basic manifestation. But it was precisely because of this that he was able to deeply understand how terrifying the strength of that North Wind Sword Saint was back then.
To this day, El's own first rune cycle has not yet been established, and two more runes have not been able to manifest. He originally thought that he would have to fight to the death to activate his potential again, but then he never encountered such a good thing again after the continuous battles of all sizes along the way. Last night's battle with Hercules Hagernam was already a fierce one, but El and Hegnan were well aware of each other's lack of real cards. He is responsible for the Istaron warriors who follow him, and Hagnum is also in charge of the Masonry Brotherhood, and they both have an unshirkable responsibility, so it is natural that they cannot indulge themselves to the fullest.
And if you don't really fight with your life, it is obvious that there is no benefit to be gained. Every strong person who steps into the Silver Secret Realm has to pay a thousand times the blood and sweat of others, there is no shortcut on this road, and those who want to find a shortcut have turned into corpses on both sides of the road.
It was so difficult just to establish a rune cycle, and El couldn't imagine what realm the Northern Wind Sword Saint had reached back then, and he was able to manifest his own Silver Secret Realm and turn it into a real path.
Xi Mako said that ordinary people can't walk this path, because they don't even have the most basic walking qualifications, and only those teenagers who have advanced to the Bronze Peak, or who are extremely talented, can rely on their own willpower to embark on this path and feel the personal experience of the North Wind Sword Saint with their bodies.
And for strong people like El and Tiana, who have already entered the silver rank, this path has no meaning for them, and the sense of oppression they feel is actually a natural rejection. Because this is the path of the North Wind Sword Saint, not theirs. If you covet the scenery on other people's roads and slow down, you are destined to not be able to reach the end of your own road.
The white stone path winds upwards, from the side of the greatsword to the rear. The girl in her arms didn't gain weight, but El's steps were getting slower. Every time he took a step forward from stepping on this path, he could vaguely feel the repulsion around him increase a little.
Looking up from the path, the rock sword towers into the sky, and this sword has stood here for thousands of years, and it has never wavered in its use, rain or shine. But in El's eyes, the sword now fell on him like a mountain, pressing down on the top of his head with a slow but determined speed. The farther he went, the faster the sword fell.
No matter how strong an individual is, he can't compete with the power of a mountain, a human can fight a lion and a tiger, but when he stands in front of a mountain, he will only feel his own insignificance. El realized that this was an illusion, no matter how irresistible the power of the mountains was, it was the mark of the Sword Master of the North Wind, a human being. It was not a mountain, but a silent proclamation to the travelers who walked on this path, allowing them to experience first-hand the power far beyond the limits of their imagination.
There is no doubt about the strength of the North Wind Sword Saint, but he is still a human, and since he can go this far, it means that other humans are also possible. His purpose in erecting the Sword Tomb here is to inspire his descendants and set the next unattainable but full of possibilities for his inheritors.
"Don't look up, follow me. Shimako, who was walking in front, turned around and said. As an indigenous person who grew up here, he knows very well how intimidating this road can be for ordinary people. In normal times, with their strength, they would not be rejected by such a force, but now the three of them are all half-crippled, and it is inevitable that they will suffer some dark losses after walking on this road for a long time.
The white stone trail didn't go all the way up, and after a turn, the path immediately smoothed out, revealing a hidden cave that had just been invisible from the outside. Shimako beckoned, and walked in with the two men familiar with each other.
"That stretch of the road is just the beginning, also known as the first level. This layer of the road is the perception generated by the first time the Lord of the North Wind Sword Saint stepped into the Silver Realm when he was a teenager. When he felt that he had found the right direction, he stopped and began to realize the sword. So this layer is also the closest place to mortals. Shimako pointed to the path they had just walked and said to El.
"When we first started to practice swordsmanship, we had to walk this road every morning, and the experience at that time was really unbearable, but it was because of this that we were able to grow so quickly. Schimako led the two men into the cave, and El found that it had been excavated into a large hall. The hall was also paved with flat stone slabs, as well as dummies used to train swordsmanship, and around the hall there were corridors that extended to other places.
"This is a cultivation place specially built for young people, and it has been almost ten years since I graduated from here in a blink of an eye, and the new generation of Sword Castle has not yet grown up, so these two years have been a bit wasted. Ximako patted the dummy on the training ground and said with some emotion.
"If you can find it, so can the others?" asked El, skeptically.
"In fact, the exact number is five years, perhaps as fate has played a joke, after the birth of the eldest lady, there have been no gifted children in the new generation of Sword Castle until now, and it has been abandoned for at least seven years. Ximako shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Usually, only the eldest lady will sneak over to play, and the others have long forgotten about this place." โ
"At least you remember. El looked at him and said.
"I'm close to the eldest lady...... "Xi Mako didn't seem to want to talk about this topic more, he turned around and pointed to the corridor on the other side and said, "That's where the herbs were stored in the past, I remember there should be some stock, but I don't know if I can help you." Injuries like mine are easy to handle, and the eldest lady has hidden a lot of healing potions here. Although this place is relatively remote, there is no guarantee that they will not come here, so we need to recover our strength as soon as possible. โ
"I see, we'll see you later. Listening to Ximako's tone, El knew that he must have hidden a lot of private goods in this place, but it was inconvenient for his two outsiders to see it, so he didn't force it anymore.
Shimako said that the place had been abandoned for seven years, and the cobwebs piled up in the corners of those rooms showed that it must have been uncleaned for a long time. Surprisingly, however, the herbs in the warehouse show no signs of being stale at all, on the contrary, they are fully varied. The set of metal tools used to squeeze the juice in the opposite room looked much different from the one used for El in the castle, and there was not the slightest trace of rust. Thinking of what he had said before, El immediately understood that this place must have been made her secret base by Miss Diana.
No matter how selfless a person is, he must more or less have some little secrets of his own. And the construction of a secret base, El himself played once, and at this time, he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of identity. Since it's a secret base, it shouldn't be known to a second person. Shimako knows this place well, and his relationship with the eldest lady is obviously not as simple as he says. However, it was a family matter, and El was not interested in paying attention to it, and the most urgent problem he needed to solve now was how to choose the right herbs from these herbs to detoxify?
This question is not a problem for the magician girl, since she dares to call herself a magician, there will be no shortage of magicians to turn decay into magic, how to use a bunch of irrelevant herbs to match the recipe for dissolving high-grade poisons, this is a very technical work, but unfortunately she has no strength in her hands now, so she has to command El to operate. However, the obvious problem is that El has a keen enough sense to control the amount of medicinal herbs, but he is not literate after all, and he is simply unable to understand the jargon of those professions.
After three failures in a row, the expressionless girl decisively changed her thinking, and turned to match Eyre's style, using the simplest and roughest way to achieve her goal, this time she finally succeeded in concocting an antidote, but in terms of its quantity, it was obviously impossible to take it orally. Tiana looked at the simple equipment in the room and thought for a long time, and finally chose the traditional medicinal bath of Sword Castle.
Compared with dispensing, boiling water has no technical content at all, but there is still a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, the bath water is only the amount of one person. At this time, it is obviously impossible to go down to the bottom of the mountain to fetch water, so only two people will use it.
Looking at the steaming bathtub, the two of them were silent, and the girl's face seemed to be red from the steam, but at this time, it was impossible to say directly out of reserve, brother, you can use my bath water......
"Hurry up, when is it still squirming, we still have a lot to do. El said with a stiff cough, and seeing that the girl did not speak, he shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk out of the room.
After closing the door, El took a few steps outside, the serious expression on his face changed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He turned his head to find his way, and a blue light bloomed in his eyes.
A mere wooden door was not enough to block his view, and the girl who was changing in the room was equally unaware. Indeed, as El said, time is pressing, and she no longer gets stuck in the details. The girl unbuttoned the mage's robes, revealing a smooth skin as white as snow, probably due to her age, her figure still looked a little thin, but purely from the curve, it was perfect enough to make the voyeur's blood squirt.
However, just as El was about to feast her eyes, Tiana raised her head and looked around vigilantly, her hands slipping, and four impenetrable mirrors completely enveloped her figure.
Will you die if you give out some benefits...... El rolled his eyes and closed them, not unseen before anyway. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
