Chapter 62: The Temptation of Queen Glos
Hearing that the sword in the lake was obtained by Slytherin, Rove was surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt ...... Stand to reason.
It was Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four, and if he couldn't find the sword, who else could get it.
But then there is a problem.
"Didn't Slytherin disappear after the Battle of the Three Wizards?" Rove asked, "Didn't the sword in the lake disappear with him?" β
"Yes." Queen Glos nodded, but quickly smiled:
"But there is magic on the sword in the lake, and when the wielder dies, it will return to the bottom of the lake.
So, a thousand years later, the sword in the lake must still be in the lake where Scoura is. β
"This is also the reason why the kings of the past still went there to find the sword after killing the dragon scourge."
Rove sighed and nodded slightly, seemingly accepting the statement, but very skeptical in his heart.
As far as he knew, the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets was a Slytherin Horcrux!
Since the Horcrux is still there, did Slytherin really die?
If he hadn't died, how could the sword in the lake return to the lake, even if it had magic?!
Shirley also thought of this, but both she and Rove tacitly suppressed this idea in their hearts, and then gently lifted the topic and continued to ask:
"So...... The sword in the lake is not in your hand? β
"Of course not." Glos smiled slightly, "But even if you're not there, it doesn't matter, because there are other weapons that can kill the dragon...... Come with me. β
She stepped forward, and Rove, Shirley, and Nellisy exchanged glances, and they all silently followed.
The four of them walk on the top of the trapezoidal pyramid, and a series of graves gradually appear.
Although the sun was shining, those tall tombs, as if they were standing ghostly giants, made people feel oppressive and solemn.
"The kings of Avalon are buried here."
Queen Glos walked forward with light steps, raised her hand and pointed to the mausoleum, introducing the identity of the tomb to the young men and girls behind her.
"Of course, there are corpses in some tombs; Some kings have been killed by dragons or enemies, and their bones are gone, and they are really just clothed mounds.
Like this one! β
Queen Glos stopped abruptly, and Rove looked up and saw a large square tomb carved with a twin intertwined snakes, the scales of which were delicate emerald, obsidian, and lapis lazuli.
"This is Salazar Slytherin's tomb." She looked at the tombstone with deep eyes and said:
"Back then, before he disappeared, he built this tomb for himself in advance."
At this moment, two snakes suddenly began to roam the tomb, and the tomb opened to both sides.
Out of the corner of his eye, Rove glanced at Queen Glos, and saw that her lips moved slightly, but he didn't hear anything.
Apparently, she used her magic to obscure the spell that opened the secret passage.
When the tomb is fully opened, it reveals a hole in the ground and a spiral staircase.
Queen Glos suddenly appeared in her hand a beautifully decorated oil lamp with a pale blue glass cover, and she carried it up the spiral staircase.
Row, Shirley, and Nellis followed her steps, and they could feel a chill sweeping up from below, like the cold breath of the deep underground.
Rove walked for a long time, and when he came to the end of the stairs, he was about to say something, when he was suddenly startled.
I saw a pile of bones in the wall opposite!
The boy held his breath and looked around, only to find that the walls were filled with bookshelves-like holesβburial holes full of bones.
Under the light of the oil lamp in Queen Glos's hand, the burial cave was like a strange pile of empty holes, and the bones piled up inside were also flickering strangely.
"These are dragon scourges...... of the corpses. Rove was stunned.
"That's right." Queen Glos placed the oil lamp in the alcove, and she walked to the bones of the dragon scourge and said:
"These are the dragons that have been slain by the kings of Avalon, the oldest of whom has a lifespan of more than fifteen hundred years, and the youngest of whom is sixty or seventy years old."
Shirley walked over to the wall, and after asking Queen Glos' permission, she curiously touched one of the bones.
Her fingertips brushed over a wide skull, and the bones felt smooth, cold and hard.
She felt a tooth in her finger, black and sharp, like a dagger made of darkness.
The ponytailed girl groaned for a moment, looked at Queen Glos, and asked:
"You don't mean to say that these dragon bones can be used as weapons to kill dragons, do you?"
"That's right." Queen Glos smiled, looked at Shirley appreciatively, and said:
"Dragonscourge was born from the merfolk Skula, and it has a strong defense, any magic ...... Even the so-called Avada Suo, it can't kill it!
The weapons made by the elves could not damage their scales in the slightest. β
Rove nodded silently, which was why he couldn't kill the dragon scourge.
"Those scales are actually the same composition as these dragon bones, and even the dragon bones are stronger, so the sword made from them can pierce the scales of the dragon scourge." Queen Glos said.
"But these bones are so hard." Nelishi questioned, "How can you forge them into weapons?" β
"This brings us to King Arthur." Queen Glos said softly, "When he killed the first dragon scourge back then, he used the sword of the lake. β
"That sword can easily pierce the scales of the Dragonscourge!"
"King Arthur knew that the dragon plague would continue to appear, and he was worried that after the sword in the lake returned to that lake, the descendants would have no weapons and would be able to kill the dragon plague again......"
"He used the sword in the lake to chop the dragon bones, and then asked Merlin to use the smelting techniques and magic of the ancient wizards, using those dragon bone fragments mixed with metal, to forge a dozen dragon bone swords."
"In the millennium that followed, those dragon bone swords did play a big role." Queen Glos picked up a keel and said:
"Of course, those keels have been worn out over the years, and now, there is only one left."
Queen Glos said, picking up a sword from the wall.
The sword was as black as agate, smooth and shiny, and the torch seemed to sparkle in the light of the torch, like a weapon made of black diamonds.
Queen Glos held her sword in an elegant position, and swung it so vigorously that the keel in her hand snapped.
"I am afraid that there is no other weapon in the world except the sword in the lake, and it is sharper than this sword."
"When Salazar Slytherin became King of Avalon, when he got the sword of the lake, he imitated King Arthur and forged a batch of armor from those dragon scales.
Their defenses...... It's like a dragon scourge! β
Queen Glos said, her eyes rolling away, and she fixed her eyes on Rove.
"As long as you are willing to be the king of Avalon and marry me, the sword and armor are yours...... Rov Scamander! β
