Chapter 41: Night and Fire
Putting down the parchment letter in his hand, Leo fell silent.
Herwyn, the bishop of the Ninth Church of Marym, was also a poor and pathetic man, judging by his diary and the letters he left behind.
The huge bronze bell at the top of the church is called the Bell of the Gods......
Also, erasing one's own intelligence and resisting aberration?
Why is aberration rooted in the pollution of the soul?
Leo suddenly remembered what he had discussed with Master Jiang in the Yijian Club not long ago, the connection between the human spirit's id, ego, and superego.
He still remembered what Master Jiang said, "The desires that arise from the ego are too strong, and when they break through the limitations of the superego, people will lose their minds and fall into madness." β
Hurwin's dispelling of his own intellect seems to coincide with this statement.
Because he knows that his own desires are about to grow and rise wild under the effect of aberration, he thinks of ways in advance to cut off the desires of the id, so that the superego can still suppress the id and not fall into madness.
Indeed, Herwyn succeeded.
After all these years, he still hasn't become a bloodthirsty and crazy aberrant monster.
But at the same time, he also failed.
Erased his own intelligence, he is only an obsession, what is the difference between him and death? Now he is just a puppet and a shell that can only perform predetermined procedures.
The once glorious bishop has now fallen to this field, which is really speechless.
"Hoo ......"
Sighing, Leo set his sights on the second bookshelf in the room.
He'd searched it before, but couldn't find anything useful. Who would have thought that something truly valuable would be hidden in a compartment under a bookshelf?
Standing up and walking to the bookshelf, Leo pushed the bookshelf away with both hands.
The floor of the entire study is paved with a square floor tile no bigger than a palm, and from the sight alone, there is no difference in the floor under the bookshelves.
Leo crouched down and tapped his fingers on the ground, brick by brick.
Soon, he found the clue.
There is one area where the sound of brick tapping is very different, and it is very crisp.
This is it!
Leo was overjoyed and had great anticipation for what Herwin called "a small object against aberrant creatures."
Pry it up by piercing the gap in the brick with a long sword.
After a moment, Leo's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the dark compartment in front of him.
He saw a sword.
A very "gorgeous" sword.
It is silvery-white in all size, with an overall length of about one meter three, and an inscription of unknown meaning is engraved on the scabbard.
The length of the sword is one meter, the hilt is 30 centimeters, and the swordsmith has mastered the skill, carving a beautiful pattern on the hilt and gauntlet, making it look like an angel with wings outstretched.
In the center of the gauntlet is embedded a warm gemstone the size of a thumb, milky white in color that radiates a radiant light, like the tears of angels in myths and legends.
Leo had never seen such a beautiful sword, so beautiful that he almost thought it was not a murderous weapon, but a work of art.
For a swordsman, nothing makes him more happy than a sword.
Leo looked at the sword obsessively, reached out to touch it, and when his fingers touched the hilt and felt the slightly cool touch, the hint from the character panel came as expected.
γChasing the Lightγ
[The supreme masterpiece of the swordsmith Hendrick is the sword of the town religion of the Ninth Church of Marim.] She has crowned several bishops and witnessed the rise and fall of the Ninth Church of Marym. γ
[She has been baptized by the light of faith and listened to the prayers of thousands of believers, and is a magical sword with two forms. γ
[Enchantment: Tenacity, Sharpness, Night and Fire]
[Sword language: The world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray. γ

Looking at the introduction of the character panel in front of him, Leo's eyes swelled with intense joy.
Just from the introduction, you can know that this long sword called [Chasing Light] is extraordinary.
The beautiful pattern makes this sword more like a treasure symbolizing faith than a sharp blade used in battle.
Leo looked at the [Enchantment] column, which was where this longsword distinguished and surpassed the sword of the Knight of Lanlois.
[Tenacity]: Gives the weapon an extra blessing of toughness, making it less susceptible to breakage and wear.
[Sharp]: Gives the weapon an extra sharpness blessing, making it easier to slash through other objects.
The first two enchantments are easy to understand, in simple terms, they make the longsword stronger and sharper, and the most amazing, the third enchantment.
ββ
[Night and Fire]: Unique materials, superb skills, and baptism of faith combine to create unique enchantment attributes.
During the day, the blade is silvery, bringing strength and physical blessings to the wielder. In the dark, the blade turns to a dark gray, bringing agility and spiritual blessings to the wielder.
At the junction of day and night, dusk and dawn, the sword body turns golden red, which will bring the blessing of all-round physical attributes to the holder.
Regardless of the color of the sword, when stained with the wielder's blood, the blade will ignite a divine flame that incinerates filth and cleanses evil, causing the weapon to inflict both fire and holy damage.
ββ
"This?!"
After reading the introduction of the enchantment of [Night and Fire], Leo was shocked on the spot.
The first two enchantments [Tenacity] and [Sharpness] are not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to [Night and Fire]!
Not at all in a grade!
After the shock, the joy in Leo's eyes became more and more intense, and he couldn't wait to reach out and grasp the hilt of the sword.
As soon as he started it, Leo felt a magical power coming from the hilt of the sword and flowing through his body, making him feel light and energetic.
Pulling the long sword out of its scabbard and looking at the dark gray sword body, Leo suddenly understood that the time in the dream world at this time should be night.
I can't care if the light outside is so dim.
Gently stroking the dark gray blade of the sword, feeling the frosted slight coolness of his fingertips, Leo moved his eyes and took off the knightly sword of Lanlois tied to his back.
He held the Knight of Lanlois Sword and the [Chasing Light] in his left and right hands, so that their blades were facing each other.
The next moment, Leo exerted force with both hands at the same time.
"Boom!"
"Click!"
The clear sound of the golden iron front was accompanied by a subtle cracking sound.
Leo lowered his head and looked at the two swords in front of him.
The blade of [Chasing Light] did not change at all, and it still flowed with an inexplicable color, but the Knight's Sword of Lanlois was different, at one end of its blade, a small gap appeared, and the length of the gap that spread out from the gap was even more than half the width of the sword body.
It is foreseeable that after two more collisions, the knight's sword of Lanlois will be completely shattered.
And this is because Leo didn't use all his strength, if he slashed with all his strength, the knight's sword of Lanlois would break faster!
