Chapter 167: Khlechin's Speech
After reading the task list, the ship that was slowing down finally stopped.
Ivus tidied up his clothes a little - he noticed that "Helchin Dragonburn" had obvious signs of arboration on his left forearm.
It was a crack in the bark of a tree about two centimeters wide and eight or nine centimeters long. It looks like a scar from a burn, and it's not obvious, but when you touch it, you can feel rough and woody.
After a slight cut with my fingernails, I saw the marks of a cut. But the wound didn't bleed, and I didn't feel any pain at all.
“…… Early arbosis. ”
Ivus muttered under his breath.
Khlechin had a pretty good short sword at his waist. It doesn't look like an elf, it doesn't have the precious gems and cut-outs, but a very simple and clean shell white. The slender scabbard is devoid of any ornamentation, giving it a simple and elegant appearance.
When Evas pulled it out, its properties were revealed:
Valrhona's Dragon's Tooth
【Extraordinary Weapon (Purple)】
[One-handed sword, one-handed weapon, (dexterous weapon)/(throwing weapon), light, tough, sharp]
[Dragon Style: Sharpness and tenacity are improved, and maintenance costs are greatly increased]
[Mod - Swift Strike: When the other hand is empty-handed, this weapon can be considered a dexterous weapon]
[Mod - Light Throw: When the other hand holds a weapon, this weapon can be considered a throwing weapon]
[Transcendent Mod-Dragon Flame Charge: Pays 10-30 ignition attribute mana to activate the Dragon Flame Blade for 30-90 minutes. The charging state can be saved for up to three hours when the knife is opened, and the duration is not calculated when the knife is opened.
Undoubtedly, it was a gift from Valrhona, Khlechin's wife.
By the standards of purple gear, its stats are significantly inflated.
"Quick Strike" and "Light Throw" are not really useful, meaning that when the other hand is empty-handed, the weapon's accuracy and critical hits will increase with Evas's dexterity; At the same time, if the other hand is holding another weapon, then it can also be thrown as a throwing knife, instead of having a throw reduction like a normal weapon.
As for the "Dragon Flame Energy", ......
This thing, Ivas didn't know how much damage it could deal with it. But obviously, the reason this weapon can reach the purple level is because it has been enchanted for an extremely long time.
Generally speaking, purple weapons only last a few minutes at most. In the game, the player's weapon can be charged for a lot of time, even a dozen seconds, and a little longer than half a minute. Up to three minutes is a "long-lasting infusion".
Not only does this weapon have a maximum charge time of one and a half hours, but it can also pause for three hours after the knife is retracted.
It is clear that this weapon is specially prepared for long-term battles. It is a genuine "battlefield weapon".
Ivus was a spellcaster after all. He didn't know how to do swordsmanship, but at least he could use it for self-defense.
"Your Excellency Khlechin!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door of Ivus: "We're in Avalon!" ”
He withdrew his dagger into its scabbard and pinned it back to his waist. Then he walked over and opened the door.
In front of him was a small, half-elf.
He was probably only as far as Ivus's chest, and his back was a little stiff, so he looked shorter.
Ivus was in a trance for a moment before he realized that he was too tall.
The guy raised his head as best he could, and looked at Ivus's eyes full of yearning and excitement: "Your Excellency Khlechin! Are we about to embark on a new adventure! ”
The moment he saw him, Ivas felt a little familiar.
Looking closely at the chestnut-like hat on his head, Ivas finally remembered—
This is the undead knight he had seen in the village of Eagle Headland, who liked to play acrobatics.
It was the one who got up from the ghost horse, tilted his upper body out, and played on horseback.
[This is Albert, a half-elf born from the ancient kingdom of Sabbation]
And after Ivus stared at him for a long time, a calm male voice suddenly appeared in his heart.
- This is already the second time.
This time, Ivas finally captured the singular feeling.
Not an illusion, but a clear "memory"?
As he pondered what this was, Ivas calmly reached out and patted the short, thin half-elf on the shoulder, "You wait on the ship first, Albert. I'll go down alone and explore the way. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Albert folded his hands over his shoulders and bowed respectfully without questioning.
"Hats off, Your Excellency Khlechin!"
"Good morning, Lord White Knight!"
"May the candle protect you, Lord Hellechin."
As Ivas left the room, everyone he met on the way greeted him.
They were men and women, old and young. The oldest of them all was a white-haired dwarven old man covered in red square armor that was joined together; The youngest was a human girl who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing leather armor.
- And what they all have in common is that they are both short.
As far as he looked, he saw that there were only about six or seven elves about the same height as Khlechin, and more than half of the pure-blood elves were significantly shorter than him. There were no elves in the entire ship that were noticeably taller than Khlechin.
He roughly estimated that Hellechin should be at least two and a half meters tall.
It is no wonder that the one-handed sword became a talisman short sword in the hands of Hellechin.
As soon as Ivus stepped out onto the deck, he saw the wide ship in its entirety.
The elven ship was much larger than he had imagined, and it was made of beautiful red wood, apparently with a core material from the Sacred Tree.
By human standards, this could even be considered a giant cruise ship. It had at least twenty or so rooms, and the deck seemed spacious even with more than forty people standing.
There's even a Pegasus standing here!
It is most likely not the "cargo" that was transported, as it exudes a golden glow that resembles substance. And this light enveloped the entire ship in it, forming a protective shield.
It was clear that the Khlechin's retinue had not been able to fully utilize the full functionality of the ship. There weren't many professional sailors here, so it was a struggle just to get it up and running. From this point of view, the Pegasus that stabilized the hull could even be said to have played the role of a boatswain.
Looking at the expectant gazes of his followers, Ivas roughly understood that Khlechin had probably already said the purpose of this time.
So he raised his hand.
Just that, people immediately fell silent.
"Brothers and sisters, be quiet!"
Ivus spoke, his voice loud and clear: "As I said before, we have arrived at the ...... of Avalon."
At this moment, Ivus was in a trance.
His perspective suddenly began to rise—from first person to third person, looking down like a god on the ornate and delicate wooden ship.
Here's Khlechin, who is giving a speech:
"If we are on the right path, the problem of giants must be solved. If we turn a blind eye to the atrocities of the giants, we will be ashamed to remain silent when the sinners question us.
"'—Why not sanction the kingdom of giants who everyone knows about their sins and madness? Because they are too powerful to provoke? Isn't it true that you also bully the weak and fear the hard? ’
"My friends, I don't want people to judge us like that then.
"I don't want you to be speechless in the face of such interrogations."
