On Monday morning, Iwass arrived at the classroom more than half an hour early.

To his surprise, Professor Bard had arrived earlier than he had arrived.

"Our teaching assistant is here."

Hearing the sound of a wheelchair rolling on the wooden floor, Professor Bud turned around and greeted Ivas with a smile, "Is it so early?" Have you eaten breakfast? ”

Even if Ivas was in a wheelchair, Professor Bard wasn't much taller than him.

This old professor with sparse hair and short stature but a good personality can only put on a straight face in class. When he is not in class, he is happy every day, full of a kind of optimism and vitality that is quite rare for the elderly.

"I've eaten, Professor."

"It's not very early...... Don't you see a lot of people coming? ”

He said, looking at the students in their seats.

There is still half an hour left in class, and nearly half of the students are already seated.

Professor Bard just shook his head, "That's because you're here, they're here so early."

"Normally, even if there are still 10 minutes to go to class, not many people come. Either it's a press line, or it's just a little late. Those who came early basically didn't come for learning. Either in class or just here to sleep. There are even people who come to me to make up for other class assignments......

"Although I don't care about them, it doesn't mean that I'm too old to see."

Speaking of which, the old professor was also a little embarrassed.

But without waiting for Ivus to comfort him, the old man adjusted himself and smiled optimistically: "But who made me say it really badly? I can't help it, I can't know that I'm not good at speaking, and I still want the students to listen carefully, right? ”

"There aren't many lecturers with your kind of awareness." Ivus laughed.

This is not flattery, but the truth.

For these professors, the role of "mentor" is often more important than that of "lecturer".

The lesson is only about the basics. If you really want to develop your own ability, you still need to go to the library with a slip to learn those more advanced knowledge by yourself, or take a letter of introduction from your mentor and go to other professors to teach them one-on-one.

Knowing that such an open class is of little significance, few professors are particularly concerned. But the lecturers who can reach the "professor" level are basically big shots, and even if they don't pay attention to what they say, they don't allow students to offend them.

Bud just waved his hand: "I actually had bad tempers back then, just like them. But in retrospect, it was because they were anxious about their research. It's that they're young enough to have further possibilities and desires.

"I'm good-tempered now because I've reached the limit in the field of archaeology and history. I don't have any goals to overcome, I don't have any resources to fight for, and I'm not interested in a technician position or a seat at the round table.

"What I think about every day is to take advantage of the fact that my old bones can still move, and hurry up to investigate a few ancient ruins that are difficult to discern the era. Then I will use the rest of my life to identify and record these lost histories. ”

"'If you don't want it, you're strong.'"

Aihuas nodded: "As long as you don't want to fight with others and want to win over others, you can naturally be strong and unyielding, and your mind is peaceful." ”

Bard was a little surprised: "You still know Taichu language?" ”

"I understand a little, but not a lot." Ivas said modestly.

"That's already remarkable."

Professor Bard exclaimed.

He also became more and more fond of the learned, studious and humble Ivas.

While being Evas's mentor was initially a bargain, Bard now feels more and more that he made the right decision.

After that, Professor Bard and Iwath talked about last Thursday.

"The holy sword you held at the time......"

The old man became serious and asked softly, "If I'm not mistaken, is it the 'red-hilted sword'?" ”

"You recognize this?"

Ivus was a little surprised.

In the photographs left in the newspapers at the time, the flames of the blade in Aihuas's hand had not yet dissipated. With the blade completely covered in flames and the hilt in his hand, Professor Bard could actually distinguish the name of the holy sword?

"That's an ominous sword," Professor Bard said, a little worried, "but be careful." According to historical records, this sword was once used by the Galahad Paladins. ”

Isn't it the Holy Sword?

Ivus's heart moved.

“…… I remember, Galahad was the child of Lancelot I, right? Ivus asked, knocking on the side.

"Where did you hear this, is it a strange wild history?"

The old professor scratched his head when he heard this, and his expression was a little strange: "When Galahad and Lancelot I met, Lancelot I had not yet married Princess Gneevil, and at that time the Galahad knights were already adults.

"The original Knights of the Round Table numbered twenty-two, and the name of one of them was withheld. The remaining twenty-one were Lancelot I and his twenty founders. Today, the Galahad family is still inherited, and it is the Camelot family. Obviously not in the same vein as the 'Dulac' family......"

At this point, Professor Bard glanced at Ivas again: "It is only because Galahad became an apostle that Galahad changed his name because of this." Just like the family line of Morgan's son Mordred, which is now renamed 'Moriarty'.

"Mordred's mother, Morgan, whose name means 'born at sea', was also a knight from overseas, and was quite active and brave at the round table. Therefore, the descendants of that time, after Mordred was elevated to an apostle, changed their surname to Moriarty...... The surname means 'warrior of the sea', which is exactly what the Moriarty family shunned from the apostle Mordred. ”

- What?

Ivus was also a little surprised.

He knew that the surnames of the twenty founding families were completely different from those of the past.

Even the heirs of many of the founding families could not cope with them one by one. Not to mention that Ivas was still an adopted son, and he had not received much education in the "ancient glory of the family", and the elder Moriarty never told him which knight Moriarty corresponded to.

Ivas thought it was someone he didn't know. It turned out to be Mordred?

…… Anyway, the unexpected one is quite compatible.

And Professor Bard gushes about the history of the red-hilted sword: "The red-hilted sword looks like a huge cross, and the hilt of the sword is wrapped in a whole dark red gem. It was found on a piece of marble that floated with water, with the words 'The greatest knight can make me move'.

"Galahad was not the first wielder of the Red-hilted Sword, but neither was Lancelot I. At that time, the strongest knight of the round table was called Balin...... Only he could draw the sword and immediately gain great power.

"But this sword contains the curse of the Eternal Self, which only the most determined and pure can wield. As long as you use this sword with evil intentions, wanting to kill someone or do something evil, this part of the desire will be permanently amplified and gradually become crazy and paranoid.

"Balin's personality changed at a rate visible to the naked eye, becoming arrogant and manic, and eventually dying because of the dangerous situation posed by the sword.

"After Balin's death, no one else dared to take over the sword, and the sword, which was feared by the other knights and called the 'curse', fell into the hands of Galahad.

"After Galahad's ascension to the apostle, the sword was left to Lancelot I, but Lancelot I did not use it very often. Eventually, the sword fell into the hands of Saint-Genevel. Because it was too dangerous and could cause the noble paladins to fall because of it, it was broken by the mage Merlin himself and sealed separately. Today, the hilt of its sword is the key to the Chapel of Saint-Genevel...... I think that's what you have in your hands. ”

“…… How do you know so much about the history of Avalon? ”

Ivus was a little surprised.

It was the first time he had seen the history professor demonstrate his expertise. This is all about transcendent and even secret knowledge, and as an ordinary professor, he actually knows more than Ivace......

At least Ivus didn't know what the curse contained in the sword was. I don't know that this curse belongs to the Constant Self and not to the Snake Father.

"It's simple."

Professor Bard smiled when he heard this, revealing a strong confidence and confidence in his words: "Because I once collected a fragment of the 'Red Sword' in a certain sea ruin. There was also a message from Merlin, personally explaining why the sword was sealed here...... This is the only fragment of the Broken Sword that Avalon has acquired so far, and it is now stored in the Edward Museum. All the historical records about this sword are written by me.

"According to my research, the birth of this sword has the influence of both ego and amber, and the red hilt is most likely the concept of 'amber'. Therefore, I believe that this sword should be sealed with a powerful illusion - it is very likely that it is some rebellious celestial priest or apostle, subordinate to the path of twilight or the path of love. The latter may be more likely. ”

"Is it possible that it is sealed with the illusion of the dedication path?"

Ivas suggested a possibility.

Professor Bard touched his chin and thought for a moment: "It's not impossible. It is also possible that Galahad had the nature of the path of consecration, and it was possible that he was able to hold it safely...... But Heng and Amber don't have a reason to join forces to seal the illusion of the Path, right? That should be handled by Si Candle himself.

"—Anyway, you should use this sword as little as possible. While its curses are stored on shattered blades, its hilt also makes it more susceptible to curses. Even the most powerful transcendent can be as fragile as a baby when using this sword. ”

The old professor warned, "It's possible that the curse that was originally ineffective against you has taken effect because of the existence of this sword. It's entirely possible. ”

"I see."

Ivus nodded obediently.

But there was a slight movement in his heart, and he found a key clue from Professor Bard's inadvertent words.

…… It turned out that one of the fragments of the red-hilted sword is now in the Edward Museum.

Edward Museum ...... That's exactly what James Sr. built in Edward's name. In other words, it's Ivus's own property.

If you have the chance, you can go and get it back.

Even if you don't reassemble the Holy Sword, it can be used as a curse medium.

- And if Ivus himself held one of the fragments, it would mean that it would be impossible for Bishop Mathers to reassemble the Holy Sword. Because he couldn't put together all the pieces anyway...... It's like collecting cards, there will always be a card that can't be found.

As long as Mathers is unable to reforge the red-hilted sword, he will not be robbed of his mind by the curse of the sword and degenerate into a cursed paladin.

But......

Powerful Illusion ...... A fallen celestial priest or apostle? Isn't that a high-level illusion?

Ivus narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

In other words, as long as he gathers the fragments of the red-hilted sword, he can awaken a light-attribute high-level illusion that has been sealed in the holy sword?

That's a coincidence.

He was worried about who his light-attribute "big beast" should catch, wasn't this sent to the door?
