Chapter 366: Blessing? Curse?
"Maybe in the eyes of the world, the knight king should be like that." The young man smiled and looked at the young man from the east in front of him: "But they forgot that before he pulled out the sword in the stone, Arthur Panragunda was only the son of a peasant family, a very ordinary person...... Although I have royal blood, my father hid my identity from me since I was a child and fostered me in an ordinary peasant family. Even though I inherited the throne in the end, I still feel that this quiet time was the happiest day of my life. ”
"Wait, you just said that you pulled out the sword in the stone!?" Luo Mingzhang looked at the young man: "What do you mean, do you mean that you are the legendary King Arthur himself?" ”
A trace of shock flashed in Luo Mingzhang's eyes: "But, how is this possible, even if it is the cultivation of the Holy Venerable, five hundred years old is already a limit, and the legend of King Arthur is at least a thousand years old, how can you still exist in the world?" ”
He always thought that King Arthur in front of him would be like the paladins such as "Roland" and "Astolford", who were born by inheriting the inheritance of his ancestors.
From the previous contact with the three Knights of the Round Table, it can also be known from their conversations that the Knights of the Round Table, like Charlemagne's twelve paladins, inherit the equipment and inheritance of legendary heroes, and have been passed down from generation to generation.
At least, the Sun Knight Gawain and the Lake Knight Lancelot who have fought against him are also of this nature.
Faced with Luo Mingzhang's question, the young man unbuttoned his shirt.
I saw that at the mouth of his heart, there was a hideous wound, the bright red blood exuded a faint golden light that was condensed and flowed within the wound, and his entire body showed a kind of holy light, which was not ordinary flesh and blood at all.
"It's ......"
"I was dead in Kamla Hill a thousand years ago, and the reason why I can still exist in this world is because of the curse of the lake fairy." King Arthur smiled bitterly and said: "When I obtained the holy sword from the fairy of the lake, the sword of victory, the passage of time has stopped in my body, I will not age, and my body will always remain in its heyday." ”
"This should be considered a blessing!" Luo Mingzhang said: "This is an ability that the world has admired for a long time. ”
"But if this ability has been used after you die, it's a curse." Arthur said helplessly: "If you want to relieve my state, I can only feel at ease by returning my holy sword to the fairy of the lake and fulfilling my oath with her, but after my life comes to an end, my soul is still imprisoned in my body, wandering in the human world, this is a kind of torture." ”
"Undead!?" Luo Mingzhang raised his eyes to look at King Arthur, according to his account, this is the quality of the undead.
"Yes, although the way of existence is different, I am a special undead." The young man smiled bitterly and said, "I have already lived...... No, it should be said that I have been wandering in the world long enough, I have seen too many joys and sorrows in the world, I have also guarded, fought, and once again gathered generations of excellent knights, and rebuilt the Knights of the Round Table, but now, I am tired, and I want to rest in peace. ”
"Then why don't you return your holy sword to the Nymph of the Lake?"
King Arthur shook his head: "The fairy spring where the lake nymph is located is in the domain of the knightly holy city of Camelot, but after the division of the original Knights of the Round Table, the city of Camelot also ushered in the end, and that city-state was finally occupied by a group of aliens, and that area was also separated from the real world and became a secret realm. ”
When Luo Mingzhang heard this, his brows furrowed, this situation was very similar to the banishment of the Northern Nether Demon Domain from the land of Shenzhou, but the scale was much smaller, and the difficulty was much lower.
"For thousands of years, I've been searching for the location of that secret place, but I've never found anything." King Arthur said, "But recently, I sensed its presence, and it was in a mountain forest in the northeast, and I could feel that it was showing signs of reintegration with the real world. ”
"I sent a few capable Knights of the Round Table to investigate and get some information." King Arthur said: "The people who occupied our knight holy city of Camelot were the legendary elves, who transplanted their tree of life into the fairy spring, and used the energy contained in the tree of life to transform the holy city of Camelot into their city-state, the city of giant trees. ”
"So, what are you looking for me for? Help you reclaim the original knightly holy city of Camelot? Luo Mingzhang asked: "With all due respect, the dispute in your Western world has nothing to do with me, I don't want to cause any trouble here, whether it is you knights of the round table, or the elves, or any other forces, it has nothing to do with me, as long as I can take away the people I want to protect, this is enough." ”
"Mr. Luo misunderstood." King Arthur smiled, "I never wanted to retake the knightly holy city of Camelot, you just need to help me return my holy sword to the fairy spring." ”
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Luo Mingzhang stood up: "Thank you for your breakfast, Your Majesty King Arthur, but I really can't do anything about your request." ”
"In the Tree of Life, there is a huge amount of life energy, which may help you recover your shattered soul." King Arthur said: "As far as I know, there are not many things in the world that can repair the soul, and the fairy spring essence where the lake fairy is located happens to be one of them, and the life energy contained in the tree of life that ingested the fairy spring essence should also have such an ability, Mr. Luo, I think, you have no reason to refuse." ”
Luo Mingzhang looked at King Arthur: "You can see it!?" ”
In the Western power system, the understanding of the soul is very vague, and there is no one who can see the truth and strangeness of his soul through his body.
"My perception has long been different from that of humans." King Arthur said, "Naturally, I can see things that are different from ordinary people. ”
"Okay, last question." Luo Mingzhang asked, "You knights of the round table also have sage-level powerhouses, why don't you send your own knights over to return the holy sword?" ”
"Because it has been alienated by the secret realm of the elves, all the elemental power and magic power have been suppressed to the extreme, only the life force is very strong, this is undoubtedly the home of the elves." King Arthur said, "My knight, you can't get close to the heart of the City of Giant Trees, let alone fight against the strongest of the elves. ”
"And as far as I know, there is a wood power in the East, which in my opinion, is the same existence as the life force, so I think that if someone can fulfill my commission, it will be you, Mr. Luo."
Luo Mingzhang groaned for a while, and looked up at the young man: "I agree to your request, King Arthur!" ”
A relieved smile appeared on the young man's face: "Thank you, Mr. Luo. ”
As his words fell, a holy sword emitting a dazzling golden light appeared in front of Luo Mingzhang.
On top of the sword body, Luo Mingzhang felt a majestic coercion, at least with the power of the Sage level.
Just a weapon can have such an aura, this may be the only Western artifact he has ever seen that can be slightly comparable to the top artifact of Shenzhou, and it is no wonder that King Arthur was able to achieve supreme feats with its help.
"Is this, the legendary sword of victory through the oath......."
............
............
In the mountains and forests dozens of kilometers outside the fog capital, two figures were walking silently.
"If I'm not mistaken, King Arthur's forest should be not far from the castle, and it should be a short walk to its periphery." The Blood Clan Maiden said, "You haven't told me yet, your soul is broken, what the hell is going on?" ”
They didn't rush as fast as they could.
The forest is the home of the elves, and in the forest, no one can predict what kind of magical abilities these long-eared creatures have.
What's more, Aisha had told him that there was a powerful member of the council, Oberon, whose code name was "Elf", and that he was very hostile to Luo Yunzhou and everything related to him, and Luo Mingzhang's intuition told him that this Oberon must be related to the elves.
Therefore, the elves are friends and foes to them.
"It's an old problem." Luo Mingzhang said with a smile: "It was brought out of the mother's womb, and it usually has no effect, but it may not live long." ”
The blood girl frowned, she instinctively felt that Luo Mingzhang's "can't live too long" was not still a decade or twenty......
"Is the essence of that tree of life really useful to you?" Aisha asked.
"There should be!" Luo Mingzhang said: "After the essence of life makes the body stronger, it can indeed nourish the soul in disguise. ”
The essence of this tree of life, the principle of its effect should be the same as that of Baicaodan, as for the effect, which is stronger and which is weak, Luo Mingzhang does not know.
"Okay, I got it!" A red glint flashed in Elsa's eyes.
The essence of the tree of life, I will decide...... Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill him!
At this moment, Luo Mingzhang suddenly said: "Xiaoye, restrain your breath, there is a situation!" ”
When Aisha heard this, she had just completely restrained her breath when she saw a figure flying rapidly over the dense forest.
"Seraphim of the Holy See!"
Luo Mingzhang saw that in the hands of the Seraphim, there was still a person holding him, it was the unconscious witcher, Kyle Vincent.
And as the Seraphim flew by, a few more sturdy figures quickly followed in the dense forest, their slender bodies, carrying short knives and bows and arrows, constantly flashing between the trees, closely following the Seraphim flying through the sky.
"What do we do now?" Aisha asked, "Do you want to go to the City of Giant Trees first, or ......?"
"Let's go over and have a look." Luo Mingzhang said: "That guy still called me boss after all, if you have a chance, let's help him......
