Chapter Twenty-Three: The Falling Sword Peak
"With this potion, I have nothing to fear from now on." Ai Xingyan jumped up happily, his face full of vitality.
Morton looked at the child's back, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
After so many years, I heard that there have been drastic changes on Silverwing's side, but only he...
At this moment, an extremely important matter suddenly flashed through his mind.
Without further ado, be sure to start preparing early...
So he quietly set off and returned home.
At the same time, Ai Xingyan rushed to the stream at the edge of the village, scooping up a puddle of water with his palm and splashing it on his face.
It's so cool... It's rare to be so refreshing in the summer.
Looking at the agile swimming fish in the water, he felt that his reflection had begun to grow unconsciously.
At this moment, Morton's hearty voice suddenly came from behind him.
Ai Xingyan hurriedly looked back.
Immediately, he found that in the other party's hand, out of nowhere, there were two more wooden long swords.
"From now on, I will teach you how to practice swords." Then, under Morton's free and easy throwing motion, one of them soon came to Ai Xingyan's hands.
"Hmm... It felt a little heavy, but it didn't matter, I was able to use it proficiently in no time. Ai Xingyan curiously glanced at the lines on the sword's body, and gently waved it left and right a few times.
"Don't worry, kid." Morton reminded in a deep voice: "Your body still can't withstand the ups and downs of swordsmanship. ”
But Ai Xingyan didn't seem to listen at all, and began to run while dancing the sword, and when he was not careful, he tripped over the stones under his feet, stumbled and almost slipped to the ground.
"Remember, to practice swordsmanship, you must first temper your body and will." Morton said solemnly, and after speaking, he returned his hand and struck a golden sword wave at the fruit tree by the stream.
With a crisp sound, the tree shook, and several bright fruits fell into Morton's hands impartially.
"Wait, I'll eat after practicing the sword." He stopped Ai Xingyan, who was about to move, and began to continue to teach the other party.
"There are many moves in swordsmanship, you need to understand them with your heart, so that they can really integrate with yourself, and with hard practice, what challenge can stump you in the long run?"
"Gradually, your spiritual sense will move to a higher level, your reflexes will become more sensitive, your functions will continue to grow, and you will be able to deal with danger calmly in any environment."
Ai Xingyan nodded a little ignorantly.
"Alright, now, come at me and show me what you've learned." Morton said in a loud voice, waving his hand slightly hostile to Ai Xingyan.
As soon as the words fell, Ai Xingyan couldn't wait to stab him with his sword.
At first glance, his movements were very fast, but Morton crossed the blade of the sword, just blocking the tip of Ai Xingyan's sword.
Seeing that the blow missed, Ai Xingyan swung two more swords, but was dodged by Morton effortlessly.
In the next second, he actually turned around deftly, and took advantage of another sword to slash at Morton's chest.
"Okay, okay, you kid, that's not how the sword is used." I saw him gently lift the sword body unhurriedly, and at the moment of collision, Ai Xingyan's sword was instantly out of his hand.
Immediately, Morton stepped forward lightly and pushed Ai Xingyan's chest with his palm, and the latter flew out directly upside down, but fortunately, Morton dodged and caught the opponent's body steadily.
At this moment, a sense of déjà vu arose from the bottom of his heart.
When he first learned swordsmanship, his figure was somewhat similar to Ethel back then...
Morton closed his eyes, sad in his heart.
Looks like I should teach him silver swordsmanship, and I have to send him to that place...
But then I have to endure loneliness again...
But he still smiled freely, put away the wooden sword, and continued to speak to Ai Xingyan.
"Pack your bags, and I'll take you to a very mysterious place in a moment."
"What? Are you sure? Ai Xingyan happily dropped the wooden sword and asked with a jump.
"Hmm." Morton nodded in satisfaction.
An hour later, a light carriage appeared at the intersection of Longyu Village.
"Are we going to say goodbye to this place soon?" Ai Xingyan, who boarded the carriage at Morton's signal, asked.
"It's not entirely like that, and you can even give it up if you want to." Morton replied unhurriedly.
"Then it must be an isolated place," Ai Xingyan guessed in a childish voice.
"That's true," said Morton, who did not seem to see the look of reluctance in the prince's eyes, "your grandfather, Karl Lockdan, also spent ten years there. ”
"Like a shining star, his light illuminates the entire pre-dawn night sky, especially the hometown he is committed to protecting: the Silver Wing."
Moreover, he also said that he hopes that his children and grandchildren will also be able to find the true meaning of the world there.
"Therefore, you must know in your heart that this is the dream place of sword learners, and all the swordsmen who are lucky enough to enter it have become the top masters."
"And what is its name?" Ai Xingyan asked curiously.
"The Sword God Secret Room, and my other identity is the one who holds the key there."
"The Chamber of Secrets opens every ten years, and once you open that door, the outside world only exists in your memory." Morton said seductively.
"Until you succeed in your studies, you will not be able to see the light of day again as a master."
"Throughout the ages, there has never been a single cultivator here who has disappointed, the 'War Dancers' of the Ancient Era, and even the 'Brilliant Swordsmen' of the Ancient Times, including the 'Sword of War' of the Silver Wing Kingdom, Cal, are all the pride of this place."
"Whether you can regain the glory of the past is all in your hands." Morton touched Ai Xingyan's head and said with a deep gaze.
"Who built such a magical place?" Ai Xingyan asked excitedly.
"It is said that his name is ''Sword of the Star' Alex, the first sword god in ancient mythology, and he combined his strength with the most advanced mechanical power in the world at that time, as well as the most lasting magical energy, to successfully create this sacred land that has been passed down from generation to generation."
With that, he let out a long sigh.
"But your grandfather said that maybe one day, the energy in the chamber will erupt like a volcano, and then the whole world will face destruction."
"It's hard for anyone to trust him at this point, but I look forward to your future success, kid." His tone was so soft that it felt incredibly kind.
"Well, when the time comes, you will have the right to make your own decisions." Morton patted Ai Xingyan's immature back and said.
At the same time, the carriage sped forward and soon came to the 'Oath Heights'.
"Do you see that golden mountain called 'Falling Sword Peak'?" Morton pointed to the sky, and a magical majesty appeared in the mist of the clouds.
"At the top of it, there seems to be a sword-like boulder." Ai Xingyan keenly spotted something unusual.
"It was made by the ancient sword spirit Krazer, and legend has it that in the ancient flood era, he suffered a very unfortunate thing."
"His wife, a beautiful snow elf, was ravaged and killed by the stone giant, and the other party was a thousand meters tall and possessed absolute power."
"After the incident, the sword spirit was so grief-stricken that he leapt into the end of the sky, turned into a golden giant sword, and slashed at the top of the giant's head."
"'My beloved wife, I will surely avenge you.'" He whispered to himself. ”
"At that moment, all the eyes of the entire world were focused on the shining sword spirit."
"His will is so great, and the magnificent world is burned in his hands like the rising sun, until the end of the wind and clouds, the light miraculously and quietly dissipates."
"The shattered boulder buried the entire world, and when the stone giant's body was shattered, the power of the sword spirit Krazer was also annihilated."
"After many years, the remains of the giant have become the current mountain peak under the accumulated wind and sand, and Krezer's body has forever turned into the immortal sword boulder on the mountain peak."
"To this day, there are still countless bottomless radial fissures left at the bottom of the mountain, which is exactly the effect of the sword spirit's blow."
"And at the bottom of Luojian Peak, it is the holy place 'Sword God Secret Room' that we have been looking forward to."
Morton said passionately, the look between his eyebrows as proud as the sun.
