When Chris Pinbran's name Darkblade was uttered, Huey was truly surprised
Every world has its own legends.
In the long river of history, legends use a special way to record the past years, and gradually deform with the passage of time, full of legends.
Among all the legends and stories that Xiu Yi has heard about the Wind Singing Big 6, there is a legend that is quite famous.
That's the legend about the Dark Blade.
It is impossible to verify the origin of the Dark Blade, but every appearance of the Dark Blade must be accompanied by bloody killings and endless legends.
The first appearance of the Dark Blade was about a thousand years ago, when a samurai named Bramall appeared on the Wind Roaring Big 6 and used the Dark Blade to create a terrifying bloody time.
During the decade-long battle, the warrior Bramall used the Dark Blade to kill at least 3,000 warriors, creating one of the top 10 records for samurai kills in the history of human magic.
Bramall's actions caused the anger of the Big 6 countries, and they surrounded and suppressed them, and after a series of bloody battles, the invincible Bramore finally fell, and his dark blade disappeared from then on.
Two hundred years later, the Blade of Darkness has reappeared.
This time, it was in the hands of a mage.
The mage used it to create even more horrific killingsβover the course of three years, seven thousand people had died at the hands of the evil mage, half of whom had fallen to the blade of darkness.
In the eight hundred years since, the Blade of Darkness has appeared three more times, and each time it has been accompanied by a frenzied slaughter. The Dark Blade eventually replaced its former owner and became synonymous with blood and horror.
People began to call it the First Murderer, because almost everyone who wielded the Blade of Darkness was a crazy and bloodthirsty being.
As for the Dark Blade itself, what magic it really has, and why everyone who has it is so powerful and terrifying, no one can say for sure.
People know only one thing: it's indestructible!
For one weapon, this is more than enough.
Yes, that's what the Dark Blade is all about, and in legend, there's never been a weapon that the Dark Blade can't sharpen, an impenetrable shield, or a shield that can't be slashed. No one can parry against the Blade of Darkness, and the mere hearing of the name of this terrifying murderer makes everyone tremble in their hearts.
Now, however, what came out of Bolan's mouth was the name Darkblade.
This made Xiui unable but to be shocked.
He could never have imagined that what Abraham Malet had been pursuing all along, would be this murder weapon.
At that moment, Bolan looked at Xiu Yi and smiled confidently: "You heard it right, it's the Dark Blade." My conditions remain the same, as long as you help me kill Marlett with my own hands, I am willing to be loyal to you forever. If you want it, I can tell you where it is right now. β
ββ
Holy Hidden Valley.
Huey fell into deep thought.
He had never thought about an issue for so long.
So much so that the sky was getting darker, and even Bolan, who had been waiting patiently, gradually became a little impatient.
Finally, Huey spoke.
"I must admit that the conditions you have made are indeed shocking. Huey carefully worded his words, and said in a slow tone, "But unfortunately, I am afraid I have to refuse your offer." β
"Why?" Bolan almost jumped.
No one has ever been able to resist the temptation of the Dark Blade, a weapon so powerful and ferocious that it can make the strong tremble even if it falls into the hands of ordinary people. For it, Bolan suffered everything, and for it, Malit exhausted all means.
But now, Huey says he's not interested.
"Yes, I'm not interested. I am sorry, Mr. Bolan, that I am afraid that my thoughts on this matter are very different from yours. In my opinion, weapons are weapons, and no matter how powerful weapons are, they should be mastered by people. The real strong can only be people, not weapons. Judging by the legend of the Dark Blade, there is no doubt that this is a magic weapon that can affect people's minds, and it is so powerful that although it can increase people's combat power, it can also make people fall into madness, and that is absolutely unacceptable to me. For me, the reason why I have survived to this day is not because of how strong I am, but because I have always been sober. If there is something that can give me great power, but it makes me lose control of myself, then such power is just a puppet. It's a shame that I can make a puppet and not make myself a puppet. β
"Weapons are for people, not for people. β
"The reason why I had to think about it for so long just now is not because I don't understand its value, but because I am overcoming the greedy ** in my heart, to be honest, it was not easy, but fortunately I did. β
Huey's answer sent Bolan into a state of distraction.
He's right, it's really a magic weapon that can make you lose your mind and fall into madness.
Ten years ago, Bolan was first aware of the problem when he received the artifact from Marlett's nephew.
This magic weapon has a strange power, which can greatly increase the strength of the owner, and at the same time make people lose their minds and burn the desire in their hearts, just like the lion king Haley who was hit by the ** burning.
The reason why Mallett's nephew will ** his fiancΓ©e is only afraid that it has something to do with it.
Fortunately, at that time, he was already a high-level samurai, and with his deep love for his fiancΓ©e and his own strong literacy, he simply suppressed the invasion of the magic weapon on his mind and hid it.
Even so, when he held the magic weapon in his hand, the constant sense of power that flowed from the dark blade still made him feel extremely satisfied.
Soon after that, he managed to break through to become a Sky Samurai. That was what the Dark Blade had helped him achieve with the residual power in his body, but it was also this residual power that made the ferocious and ferocious wild tiger in Spark Prison.
Over the years, he has gradually absorbed this residual strength, and his personality has become more and more stable, and he is no longer as fierce as before, but the reputation of the Wild Tiger still fears all prisoners.
Who would have thought that all of this was actually because of the Dark Blade?
"So, Huey, what price do you pay for me to help me? That's all I have. Unable to pique Xiu's interest with the Dark Blade, Bolan began to panic.
After thinking deeply for a while, Xiu Yi said, "I'm not interested in the Dark Blade, but obviously, I don't want such a weapon to fall into the hands of others. So, Mr. Bolan, if you want to achieve your long-cherished wishes, then I need you to make greater commitments and sacrifices. β
"What promises and sacrifices?"
Xiui looked at him with pity: "It's a sacrifice you can imagine. β
"You say, as long as I can kill Marith, I can do anything, even if it's my life!" Bolan yelled.
Xiu Yi nodded: "Yes, I just need your life, your will, your all! If you agree to my conditions, then this world, there will no longer be Chris Pinboland, and by my side, there will be an extra dog, a slave, a real flesh and blood puppet, a killing machine that only knows how to do what is ordered, and a terrible mad demon king......"
Bolan looked at Xiui in a daze, and the golden boy stood in front of him, saying the most vicious curse in the world.
"I think you understand, don't you? It's not just a give, it's a price you have to pay if you want to be better than before, and only then can I give you what you want. Think about it, neither you nor I have the right to choose on this issue. Because only in this way can you achieve the standard of strength you need...... That's far from being as simple as adding you an arm and two legs. β
With that, Xiu Yiyang left for a long time, leaving Bolan alone.
In life, there are always too many complicated and difficult choices.
People can sometimes give up everything for revenge.
This is true for Huey, and the same is true for Chris Pinberland.
So when the early hours of the morning came, Bolan stood in front of Xiu Yi and said the "I accept" in a faint tone, and Xiu Yi was not even surprised at all.
He looked at Bolan and said, "Are you sure you've figured it out? Once I do something like that to you, I can't change it back." You will lose a lot of abilities, including that you will not be able to speak normally from now on, that it will be difficult for you to think independently from now on, and that you will not be able to see people as they really are. β
"It doesn't sound much better than being in prison. β
"Well, then, I can do it for you, and that will take about ten days to complete, and in the meantime, you will have to endure pain that humans simply cannot imagine. β
"No matter what the pain, I've endured too much. β
Bolan's voice was full of determination.
"So...... Say goodbye to your brothers, and from now on they will never see the Wild Tiger again. Xiui sighed.
Bolan's eyes darkened.
There was one more thing Huey had to do before he could make a makeover for Bolan.
In the valley laboratory, Haley, the lion king, is lying in the medicine pool.
The guy was so big that the medicine pool could only rest his body, but his two thick thighs were resting outside the pool.
The combination of berserk power and vindictive energy tortured this big man to the death, and if it weren't for Xiuyi's timely rescue, he would have died long ago.
Even so, lying in the pool of medicine that Huey had prepared for him, Haley would take many days to recover.
After taking a closer look at his physical condition, Xiui helped him up from the pool.
"You look much better. He said.
The big man's expression was a little wooden, he looked at him in a daze for a while, lowered his head and whispered, "How is Spark Prison?"
"Ruined. β
"It's okay, it's a place of sin, and it's better to destroy it. Haley muttered.
After thinking about it, he asked Xiu Yi again, "Everyone is dead?"
"Only the wind is alive. β
"That guy is not easy to deal with. β
"It won't be any harder to deal with than the entire empire. β
Haley nodded a little dazedly.
"Why save me? Even if I don't know alchemy, I can see that these medicines must be expensive. β
"It's expensive, enough to pay you for ten years. Huey didn't answer his question.
"My salary is not as high as you think. Haley grinned: "The Reims Empire pays me eight hundred gold wits a year. β
"It's low, so why are you doing it?"
"That's the price of the Westerners, in the Reims Empire, ten Jinwit can feed a family for a long time. In Sido, what is needed is not money, but food, water, and all kinds of supplies. β
Huey nodded in understanding.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
"Enough to swallow a bear. Haley replied.
Xiu Yi stood up with a smile: "I'll go get you something to eat." β
He turned away.
"Hey!" Haley shouted from behind, "Can I get out of this hellish pool? β
Xiu Yi thought for a while and nodded: "No problem, what you need now is just recuperation." β
After a while, Hue returned with the prepared food.
The aroma whetted Haley's appetite.
He unceremoniously feasted.
"Your craft is good. Haley commented.
"On Purgatory Island, in order to learn fighting qi from a sky warrior, I spent a lot of energy researching and making meals. β
"Lancelot?"
"So you know him?"
"Secrets are becoming less and less secrets, and more and more people are already knowing about Purgatory Island. I heard that the Frank Empire had also heard about this, and they were trying to protest to the Church of the Holy Spirit, hoping that the Pope would intervene in the matter. β
"Does it work?"
"It depends on the circumstances. Haley replied: "There are two energies of the Church, one is a call to action for the common people, and they represent justice, goodness, and righteousness. And, of course, the second important point is that the Church has sufficient military power. β
"It looks like they're embattled. Huey said.
"What?" Haley didn't understand.
"Nothing. Xiu Yi smiled: "That means that the Lance Empire is in a politically passive position, right?"
"That's right, and it's all because of you, Huy Glare. β
"That's why you didn't do anything to me when you woke up, but instead ate my food and made small talk with me?"
"The right reason is that although your methods are despicable, you did defeat me with your own strength, and as a samurai, you lose and you don't need to make excuses for yourself. Spark Prison no longer exists, and I have done my best duty for the country, and there is no need to anger others for things outside of the mission, this is the code of conduct of the Westerners. The loser quits the battle and can start all over again as long as he lives. β
"Interesting guidelines. β
"It has to be so, we grow up fighting, and we have to think about how to survive, not how to hate. β
This is the characteristic of the Westerners, they are mercenaries, loyal to their duties when fighting, but not mixed with personal feelings. Now that Spark Prison has been destroyed, regardless of victory or defeat, Haley has done his job with all his heart, and he has no shame for the Reims Empire, and he has no hatred for Huey.
Fighting is fighting, fighting with all your might, and then maintaining a calm attitude regardless of victory or defeat.
Unfortunately, there are many people who can understand this, but very few people can do it.
It is for this reason that Haley is grateful for Xiuyi's rescue.
Especially after the fighting spirit and violent power in his body have been fused to a certain extent, this surprise can be imagined.
A new power was being born in his body.
Although still weak, Haley could already feel the surging nature of that power.
"You haven't answered me yet, why did you save me. Haley said as he ate.
"Two reasons. One is that I like your temperament and character, I appreciate your way of fighting, and I want you to play for me. β
"Not at all surprised. Haley replied.
"Another reason is to see what's going on in your body. When the vindictive energy is combined with the ferocious energy, the new power generated in your body is something I have never seen before, can you tell me how it makes you feel?" asked Huey.
"It was an amazing feeling. Haley replied, "You know that vindictiveness is only materialized when it reaches a certain level, and only then do we have the ability to truly feel its existence." But after the new power was formed in my body, although it was weak, I was able to control it with ease. It's like an extra invisible arm that I can even use freely. β
As he spoke, Haley raised his right hand and made a casual move, and a test tube in the distance rose out of thin air.
Huey was dumbfounded.
"My current strength is only so far, it is completely different from the power I once had, I can't describe it in words, but it is more controllable, but I don't know how to use it in combat for the time being. Fortunately, the vindictive spirit is still there, and the power of rage has not disappeared, and for me, that is still fundamental. β
Xiu Yi cupped his chin and pondered for a while: "I have to say, it's funny. A new power, a new way of using it, does not conflict with vindictiveness...... Haley, have you ever thought that this power in your body is the power of the realm?"
Haley was startled, and a beautiful pastry fell out of his mouth, "You mean I have the power of the realm?"
"It's just the bud. Only a samurai or mage who has reached the double top level can possess the power of the realm, and since this has been the case for thousands of years, it is impossible for you to be an exception if you have not broken through to that point. This encounter is likely to allow you to have some domain abilities in advance, allowing you to play the technique of telescopic photography, but that doesn't mean that your strength is enough to form a domain. But for me, that's enough to understand what a field is. β
Xiu Yi said, smiling slightly: "Haley, your contract with Spark Prison has ended, the prison no longer exists, and your mission has ended. Join me as my subordinate, and I'll give you two in return. One is enough money and the other is to help you become a true Sanctuary warrior. β
Haley was dumbfounded when he heard this.
To become a true sanctuary, that is what every samurai dreams of.
"You...... Are you sure you can do it?"
"Give me time and I'll do it. Xiu Yi replied in the affirmative, "My understanding of the Sanctuary will grow as the power in your body grows. Believe me, Haley, no alchemist knows you better than I do, and no alchemist has been as close to the secrets of the Sanctuary as I am. β
Haley held her chin and pondered.
"Huey, do you have any family?" he asked suddenly.
Huey shook his head.
"I have. "I have parents, a wife, and children," Haley said. They need me to fight, to feed them with the money I got with my own blood. Becoming a sanctuary is too far away for me, but my family still needs my care. β
"I can give you enough money, Haley. β
"So...... Deal. β
