Chapter 3 The ancestral hall that seals the holy sword, and the contract begins
Esther looked at the girl's back seriously, as if she saw the burden on the girl's small body.
"Only with enough strength can I get the dean's approval and make the dean promise me about things."
The dean in Claire's mouth is the dean of Aresia College.
Claire does not hide the respect and adoration in her eyes when she mentions the other party.
The Dean's name is Greyworth, and she is an being known as the Witch of Twilight.
It's also the existence that all the shrine maidens worship and aim for.。
He was once one of the most elite twelve knights of the Elven Knights of the Odisian Empire, and even won the title of "Legendary Witch" when he retired, and even now he is feared and worshipped.
According to Claire, her online popularity is also matched only by the legendary strongest sword dancer.
As for why it is said to be the legendary Sword Dancer, the reason is that after the Sword Dancer won the title of champion, it disappeared directly and never appeared again.
"This kid still has a lot of potential, why don't you continue to cultivate it."
Esther looked at Scarlett in his arms, "This child's potential has obviously not reached the limit, if it is fully urged, it will definitely be very powerful."
A high-level elf really grows up, and it will not be lower than the saint level, and it is not impossible for the transcendent level.
"I know, but I don't have time, I need elves who can form combat power as soon as possible, and Scarlett will continue to cultivate, but that's for later."
Claire said, with a heavy tone in her voice.
Esther didn't ask Claire why she needed strength, it was the other party's secret, and she was just someone she had just met.
Perhaps because she thought of something unhappy, Claire seemed very silent for a while.
Esther followed behind two wagging red ponytails and headed deeper into the forest.
Although the shoes Claire wore were not suitable for such a difficult road, it was undeniable that she was the most witchy, and her physical fitness was indeed good, at least the rough road did not affect her.
"Anyway, where is Ace from, Renault, I haven't heard of the surname."
In this world, only nobles have surnames, and ordinary people do not have surnames.
In other words, the surname is synonymous with nobility.
Of course, when a girl from an ordinary family becomes a witch, she can have a family name as a family inheritance.
It can be said that every witch represents a nobleman in the future.
The surname Renault did not exist in the Empire.
"Oh, as I said before, I'm a traveler who has traveled from far away.
My hometown is far from here. ”
"That's it!" Claire nodded, and didn't ask too much, maybe her question was just because she was a little lonely!
Claire quickened her pace, Esther following behind her.
"By the way, are you wearing the uniform of the Academy?" Esther asked, "It's worthy of the most powerful elven academy in the Empire, and even the uniform is a magic prop."
"Magic props?"
Claire hadn't heard of the term.
"Oh, don't worry, it's my native parlance, it's equipment with special powers that can assist or protect the user."
Esther smiled.
"Hmm," Esther explained, and she understood,
"The uniforms of the Elven Academy of Arethea are very sturdy, have very good defensive functions, and because of the blessings of the elves, they can also enhance one's divine spirituality.
When performing an elf contract, it is also a suitable and high-end formal attire. ”
"I can feel it." Ace nodded, "Anyway, the person who designed this outfit is really amazing, and it's very cute to wear on you, which really makes people like it." ”
"Big ...... Big stupid, what nonsense are you talking about? Leaving these words, the girl moved forward quickly.
Esther was a little dazed, did she say something wrong?
Soon he reacted, and changed to other girls, this is just a very ordinary compliment, but to the pure girl in front of him, maybe it will be considered a confession!
Esther patted her forehead, feeling a little bad, and it seemed that she would have to pay more attention to her speech in the future.
The ancestral hall where the sacred sword is enshrined is located deep in the forest, standing quietly in the clearing.
Standing in front of the ancestral hall, Esther and Claire could tell that it had been abandoned for a long time, with vines entwined and moss on the walls.
Even some of the buildings outside have collapsed.
Judging from the surrounding environment, there are probably only traces of some small animals passing by
Claire stepped forward and touched a layer of enchantment, "There is only an enchantment here, which can prevent outsiders from entering and breaking the seal."
But for those of us who are witches, it's easy to crack. ”
The girl just swiped her finger and directly broke the barrier.
"It's going to be dangerous, do you really want to keep going?
You know, I won't be able to protect you. ”
"Do you want to continue knowing it's going to be dangerous?" Esther looked at Claire in silence, "Is it really decided?" ”
"Thank you, it's okay."
Claire had a smile on her face, a smile with mixed emotions.
"Let's go inside!"
Esther spoke, stepping directly past Claire into the ancestral hall.
"Wait, I'm going ahead." Claire was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after her.
The Seal Elves are not only powerful, but also hot-tempered.
These elves are naturally destructive and chaotic, and they also have this very dangerous backlash, and if the time is right, even their own masters can be killed.
It is precisely because it is difficult to be harnessed that it is sealed.
Claire was able to possess a powerful elf like Scarlet at the age of sixteen, and she was definitely a genius-level girl.
But she's just a genius, maybe she will be able to control the sealing elves in the future, but definitely not now.
And once the seal is contacted, and the contract cannot be made, it will be a very troublesome matter.
According to Claire, the Seal Elf will kill all the creatures in the vicinity and then fall into a deep sleep again, of course, if there is a strong person to suppress it, it is a different matter.
"Wait, let me go ahead." Claire finally caught up with Esther and grabbed his arm, "You can't make a contract, why do you have to go so fast." ”
"I'm just curious about what the Seal Elf looks like!" Esther smiled lightly, "Anyway, with Claire here, it won't be a problem, right?" ”
"That'...... Of course, I'm Claire! Although the girl lacked confidence, she still stubbornly said.
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about." Estro said gently.
Claire nodded, and looked around, the ancestral hall was not dark but still damp, and a musty smell made the girl frown slightly.
"O flame, illuminate the darkness!"
The girl chanted, this is the magic of the fire elves, the primary magic, almost as long as it is the fire elves, it can be used.
A small fireball erupted from Claire's fingertips, illuminating the darkness around her.
The darkness doesn't matter to Esther, but Claire can't ignore it, and with the light, Claire walks faster.
Eventually, they found the sword that sealed the elves in the depths of the ancestral hall.
The sword was stuck in the huge rock, a bit like an antique from hundreds of years ago, but there was no trace of rust or skin damage on the blade.
The blade emits a faint blue light, and you can clearly see that there are very delicate ancient patterns on it.
"Is this the sword?"
"Yes, it's the sword!" Claire nodded, "This is what the Academy sealed here, known as the Sacred Sword of Severion."
"Holy Sword, it seems to be very powerful!"
Esther was a little surprised, although he was not a human being in this world, he generally knew that the existence that could be called "Saint" was a very powerful and rare existence.
"Did you know?" Claire was a little surprised, "I really don't know that you live in that corner, and you haven't even heard of the Sacred Sword of Severion."
This is the sword that killed the Demon King Solomon! ”
"Lord Solomon?"
"Well, as I said before, elves make only girls become.
But a long time ago, there was a male elf envoy, who was the Demon King Solomon, who once led the seventy-two pillar elves and brought great disasters to this world.
It is said that the sword that slays the demon king is this sword. ”
"Well, that's a great sword." Esther exclaimed.
"Hee-hee......" Claire laughed, "You don't think this is really the Sacred Sword of Severion!" ”
Esther was stunned.
"How can there be a 'Sacred Sword of Severion' here, there are many swords stuck in stone like this all over the world.
This one can't be true.
But this sword is sealed with a very strong elf. ”
Claire looked at Esther's appearance and smiled softly, seeming to be very happy.
Esther didn't care, just smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
Esther then took a few steps back in the back.
Claire nodded, walked over to the sword, and took a deep breath, "I'm Claire, and I'll make it." ”
Claire adjusted her mind and grasped the hilt of her sword.
"O proud elf sealed in the ancient holy sword!
Thou shalt serve me as Lord and make an alliance, and I shall be thy scabbard!" ”
The cherry blossom-colored lips chanted the Elven language fluently, and between the two, Esther could see the formation of the contract.
The pact began.
In the ancestral hall, the wind was blowing, and the girl's long fiery red hair was fluttering in the wind.
Esther watched quietly, dialyzing the contract, if the other party agrees to the contract with Claire, then Claire will appear on Claire after the contract is successful.
That would be the medium for summoning the elves.
At the end of the vow, a strong wind blew in the ancestral hall.
But Claire didn't care at all, just looked at the sword quietly.
The sword shines brightly, and the power of Kamui is also very strong.
"Is this going to be a success?" Esther muttered softly, the wind didn't affect him at all, and all the human wind was blocked.
This level of elven envoy, under this level of divine power, has lost consciousness.
However, Claire is still awake, is this the contract about to be completed?
"I have made an alliance with me three times!"
Claire's voice was firm and unmistakable, and with the sound, accompanied by a rustling of frictions, she drew the sword.
"Really...... Pulled out! ”
Claire held her sword aloft with a look of wonder on her face, and to be honest, she came here with courage and faith, but she was not sure if she could really make a successful contract.
Esther smiled softly, but the next moment his smile was gone.
The ancient pattern on the blade of the sword suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, and a terrifying repulsive force exploded directly, Claire couldn't grasp the sword at all, and was directly shaken open and let go of her hand.
The fallen sword plunged directly into the ground, and then shattered in a burst of light.
"Ahh
Claire, who fell to the ground, still had a confused look on her face, "Where's my sword?" What about my elves? ”
Esther walked over, "Claire, are you alright?" ”
"I'm fine, what's going on?" Claire stood up, a little confused.
"Probably the contract failed."
"Failed?" Claire was a little depressed.
"Don't be disappointed, we're in trouble right now!" Esther chuckled, but she didn't see a hint of nervousness, just looked up.
Claire looked over, and in the middle of the ancestral hall, a sword was swinging up and down, like a child who had just been woken up and was angry.
This sword is completely different from the previous sword, it is very rough and looks very sharp.
"Is this the human spirit sealed inside the sword?"
"Probably, and a sword elf." Claire nodded, "It's a pity, the contract didn't work. ”
"I feel like this guy is in a bad mood."
"You're not an elf, how can you feel the elf's emotions."
"You don't have to feel it at all, you can see it at a glance.
This guy gives me the feeling of being woken up by my little girl while sleeping.
It is commonly known as getting up gas. ”
"It seems to be true!" Claire swallowed, she recited the incantation, but only as soon as she spat out the first sentence, she felt her brain go blank, her face turned white, and her body staggered.
Esther quickly grabbed Claire, "It seems that your contract spirit power was consumed too much just now, so let's have a good rest!" ”
"Damn, if only you hadn't taken Scarlet back before entering the ancestral hall."
Claire grumbled, "I'm sorry for bothering you this time." ”
"Ha, it's okay, it's good that you don't dislike dying with me, so that after you die, you can go to the underworld with two companions, and you won't be lonely!"
Esther touched Claire's head, "And we can't die!" ”
Claire's face flushed, but she didn't have the strength to avoid it.
Esther walked towards the sword.
The tip of the sword was pointed at Esther, and the next moment it stabbed at incredible speed.
Esther leaned away, and the sword slashed against his head.
But when the sword was about to pass, Esther reached out and grabbed the hilt directly.
With a wave of his hand, the sword drew a semicircle, and a sword qi was directly born, leaving deep sword marks on the wall.
