Volume 1 The Tale of the Forge Chapter 74 A Blessing in Disguise
Near the back gate of the city walls of Blackpool is a modest cemetery where nobles, wealthy people, and those who died defending the town are buried.
In short, people who are either related to the nobility or have made meritorious contributions in battle are eligible to be buried here.
According to Ophelia, while the Emir was in a deep sleep, Lydia buried Sain and her brother here.
When the emir heard about it, he did not immediately come to see it, because he was still resistant to Sain's death.
Until now, he was about to say goodbye to the past, so he decided to come and see it, and by the way, he set up a monument to his grandmother.
As for his father, Adams, although Emir learned of his death in the space at the time of his death, he still couldn't judge its authenticity, so he decided to go to White Peak Town to confirm it for himself, which was another reason why he promised Anne.
At this time, facing Sain's tombstone, Emir couldn't help but think back to what they had experienced before, although it had only been a few days since the two became familiar with each other, they had experienced the test of life and death together, and they had already become brothers and sisters.
Not to mention that Sain also took care of him many times, not only interceded for him in front of Juan at first to save him from death, but also later voluntarily gave up signing a contract with Lilith, which allowed him to show his skills on the battlefield.
The thought of these things was mixed in the heart of the Emir, but the tears could no longer flow, and perhaps the tears dried up when he accepted the death of Sain.
In the end, he laid flowers on the tombstones of Sain and Daniel and left.
He was relieved about Sain's death, because he didn't have time to keep himself in grief, and he had to do something more constructive.
But strangely, it was still sunny when he entered the cemetery, and just as he was about to leave, the weather became gloomy, and even a drizzle fell.
The emir looked at the sky and found that the dark clouds would not disperse for a while, and that the rain would become heavier and heavier, making it difficult to travel, so he decided to take advantage of this time to explain something to the servants of the mansion.
First of all, he has a long way to Baifeng Town this time, and he can't come back in seven or eight days, if those people know about it, he will think about it more, and it is likely that he will suspect that the city lord has run away.
Moreover, he had an appointment in advance, and after three days he had to decide on the choice of the nobles, and as the lord of the city, he could not release the pigeons of the people.
So he had to ask Rena to help hide his departure, and then let the experienced and steady Paglis preside over the selection of the nobles.
After a while, the emir had everything in order, and then it seemed that he would be able to leave with peace of mind.
However, he was still worried about chaos, so he secretly found two people.
They were the people who spoke for him when the people were in dispute before, that is, the respected old man and a young woman.
The emir saw that they were very reasonable, and told him that he was going to Baifeng Town, and sure enough, their first reaction was to feel scared, worried that he would stay in Baifeng Town and never come back.
"Well, how can you trust me?" The emir regretted telling them.
After all, there was a lot of risk in doing so, and he couldn't guarantee that these two people wouldn't immediately reveal the matter to the others.
"This ......" the old man grimaced, for he couldn't think of an idea.
However, the young woman thought about it for a while and gave a reasonable suggestion.
"Well, how about you leave that dragon behind?"
The emir felt that it made sense, because the dragon is definitely a powerful combat force in this land, even if he is in a high position, he may encounter danger one day, at this time power and money are useless, only absolute combat power can turn danger into a disaster and escape.
So, as long as there is a little sanity, a loyal dragon will not be discarded, so the emir will definitely return.
And so the matter was so happily decided, and the two promised to do ideological work for the people, so that they would do their own thing wholeheartedly, without doubting whether the emir had escaped, and the emir would not only leave the magic ring, but also promise to make them both nobles.
At this point, Emir could finally go to White Peak with confidence, he simply packed his luggage, and then went to find Anne next to the city gate.
However, as soon as he walked out of the mansion, he saw Anne in the courtyard, and she seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Uh, have you been waiting for me here?" The emir couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?" Anne turned her head to look at him, pouted and said, "Of course not, hmph, you think beautifully, I just think it's more efficient to come to you directly." ”
"Really? Looks like I misunderstood. The emir said, scratching his head.
"How? You ready? We'll have to hurry up, and if Leonard waits too long, we'll be greeted by an army. ”
"Well," the emir nodded, and then a question arose, "In that case, it will take us a few days to get to Baifeng Town, so won't we be able to catch up?" ”
"Hehe, who told you it would take a few days." Anne covered her mouth and smiled.
"Oh? Looks like you have a quicker way. The emir understood at once.
"Of course," Anne snapped her fingers and continued, "You should know that I'm good at teleportation magic, in fact, I've stayed in Baifeng Town before, and I've left a magic circle there, so I just need to release my magic to get there instantly." ”
"I see, I have to say, magic is really convenient." Emir couldn't help but admire, and then something suddenly occurred to him, "By the way, can you teach me magic?" ”
"Hehe, magic isn't something you can learn if you want to......"
"I know this, I have to test my magical talent first, right?" Emir blurted out.
"Well, yes, if you really want to learn, I can test it for you, but ......" Anne smiled and said no more.
"But what?"
"My magic is not passed on, it's an industry secret." Anne put the words aside and walked away.
Then the emile remembered that Margaret had said the same thing,
"Haha, okay, then help me test my magical talent first."
The reason why Emir brought up this was because when Margaret helped him test it before, she said that her magic level was too low to be measured at all.
Then Anne's magic level is obviously higher than Margaret's, so it should be measurable.
Anne, however, shook her head and said to him.
"I said, you, can you get things done one by one? When I'm done with this, I'll test it for you again. ”
"Oh, that's fine."
Emir nodded hurriedly, he was relieved to have Anne's words, and he couldn't help but blame himself for being too anxious.
After that, the two disappeared from the courtyard in an instant under the effect of teleportation magic.
……
Late the night before, the forest more than twenty miles away from Heitan Town.
It wasn't touched by Pedro's big magic, so it was the trees and foliage, and the sound of insects squirming in the forest.
Among them was a very large tree with a circular pattern drawn on its trunk, and then a long sword with a cold light suddenly stuck in the center of the pattern.
There is no doubt that this is the holy sword that Emir lost, because Anne had marked the magic circle in many places, and she had accidentally picked up the wrong piece of paper in the process of transferring the holy sword, and it had been moved to this deserted forest.
However, someone had already come next to the tree, and I saw him lying on his back on the ground motionless, but his eyes were open, staring blankly at the night sky.
The forest is always full of danger at night, and some nocturnal beasts will go out to forage for food at this time.
There happened to be a hungry jackal, and with its keen sense of smell it found the man lying on the ground.
But the beast's instinct had been warning it that the man was very dangerous, and that if he approached it hastily, there might be terrible consequences, but the hunger that had accumulated over time overcame the fear.
It salivated and approached the man, and finally reached a certain distance, and pounced directly, but the moment it jumped up, suddenly a white beam flashed, and the next second, its body was cut off by the waist.
The corpse of the jackal, which had been cut in two, fell to the ground, its eyes wide open, and its eyes were full of shock and doubt.
"Tsk," the man smacked his lips impatiently, "I think I'm a demon god, and I've been reduced to the point of being targeted by wild beasts." ”
It turned out that he was Allison who was teleported away, although his first reaction at that time was to hurry back to help Pedro, but after running back for a while, he realized that it was too late.
So, he had no choice but to give up, and then lay where he was with a melancholy face.
At this time, he discovered the existence of the holy sword through his magical perception, but he developed a sense of intimacy.
He used to be very good friends with the demon god Kraken, and at this time, he actually found a familiar feeling on a sword.
He reached out and drew the holy sword, and then gently stroked the sharp edge, and he could feel a chill.
However, just as he was attracted to the sword, his finger was accidentally cut by the blade.
His body had been split in half by Anne before, so his self-healing abilities were working hard to repair the huge wound.
But he could clearly feel that when he was cut by the sword, his self-healing ability failed, and blood continued to gush out of the wound.
He had heard of the Dark Knight's magic sword, which was forged from metal mixed with this ore, and although it was powerful, it had a great drawback, that is, when the owner of the sword was cut by the magic sword, even the smallest wound could not heal.
"Could it be that this is a magic sword?"
Allison's tone was both surprised and excited, although he didn't save the Dark Knight, he accidentally picked up an artifact, which was a blessing in disguise.
Allison now figured it out, even if Pedro died, it didn't matter, there would be no one less Dark Knight under the Demon King, because he was the next Dark Knight.
And he also knew the way the magic sword was forged, that is, the introduction must be added after the forging was completed, so he guessed that some elf must have forged the sword, and then used Kraken's body as an introduction.
In other words, he not only escaped by a blessing in disguise, but also completed the task of rescuing Kraken in a daze.
And then because the humans killed Pedro, he had a chance to become the next Dark Knight.
"Hahahaha, sure enough, my good fortune is finally about to begin."
Allison raised his sword and raced through the forest in excitement, ignoring the bleeding from his wounds.
In order to test his sword, he took the trees of the forest as his target, and although he did not know how to use swordsmanship, he could cut down a large area of trees with a single swing of his sword, and it didn't take long for him to cut down all the surrounding forests, leaving only stumps on the ground.
