Volume 1 – Ouroboros and Black Irises Chapter 45 Liu Quanjun and the Sword
Xinyuan City is full of modern high-rise buildings, and the city center is like a city that never sleeps. At night, the brilliant neon lights and screens hanging from the building shimmer brightly, giving the impression that the light pollution is too great. But this is also the characteristic of this city center, even at night, the city does not stop, but becomes more lively, which is the so-called city that never sleeps.
Most of the big names of the Liu family gathered on the roof of a building in the center of the city at this time, and a simple and clear magic array was carved in the center of the crowd. Obviously, the Liu family is also planning to summon the Heroic Spirit at this moment.
The night breeze was particularly wild in the heights, and everyone's hair was blown tossed. However, thanks to the fact that it is about a few hundred meters above the ground, the noise of the outside world is drowned out by the cold wind. Standing on the edge of the fence, you can easily look out thousands of miles away. However, the number of buildings is huge, and most of them are blocked from view, so that people do not find a good angle, and the visual distance is only 100 meters.
Liu Quanjun used a quill stained with ink to draw the last curve, and at this point, the summoning array was completed.
"Can such a simple circle work?"
An elder standing on the periphery asked with some concern, of course, this also asked the doubts in the hearts of most of the people present.
"I've studied the magic circle used to summon the Heroic Spirit, and the summoning array doesn't need to be complicated, just build a rough (18) shape and key core."
Liu Quanjun explained, and immediately looked at a middle-aged man who was not smiling. The latter's eyes focused on Liu Quanjun's body, and from time to time he shot a stern gaze. This person is Liu Quanjun's father, Liu Yuncheng. If the head of the Liu family is the person in charge of the family, then he is the one who supports the economic lifeline of the entire Liu family. Each of the nine major families can have such authority in the Yuanxia trajectory, and it is indispensable for some people in the family to operate the economy. And Liu Yuncheng is naturally the core of the economy in the entire Liu family.
After a while, Liu Yuncheng's gloomy face eased a little, and he coughed lightly and said:
"Give the sword to the king."
Liu Yuncheng's words were like orders, and the people on the side immediately carefully moved out a tightly sealed long metal box from behind. The metal case is engraved with a striking red letter "S" on the side, as if to mark the identity of the item.
Liu Quanjun walked out of the summoning array, came to the storage box, turned the knobs on both sides, and opened the box with the same care. The moment the box was opened slightly, the dry ice used to keep the temperature low turned into illusory smoke and spread out of the open cracks, and nitrogen was also released, mixing with the outside air. Inside the chest, an ancient silver-white iron sword was resting safely in the protective layer of silk. Judging by its appearance, it should be an ancient Chinese sword. The blade of the sword was still sharp, and there was a faint imperial breath on the face. Take a closer look, there are a few small words engraved on its side: Yue Wang Goujian made his own sword.
"This is a national treasure, be careful, it took a lot of effort to borrow it from the National Museum."
Liu Yuncheng reminded. Although even without his father's words, Liu Quanjun is not sloppy. The latter picked up the iron sword, and it was cold to the touch. The hilt of the sword was stuck in the palm of his hand, but he felt refreshed at the moment. When he held this sword, it was as if he had seen the fierce battle of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He even felt that this sword, which had spanned thousands of years, transmitted the roar of the war drums beating through the sky, the shouts of the warriors fighting bloodily, and the clashing of blades and armor into his mind, making him feel as if he were there.
He could clearly feel his heart beating faster, but it shouldn't be, so he took a deep breath and calmed the heat in his heart. After all, there are more important things to do. Liu Quanjun clenched the iron sword and said secretly in his heart:
"It's up to you."
