the last magic noble

Chapter 51
Looking at the painting in front of me, I couldn't help but wonder, why is such a painting engraved on the ancestral box of the Sival family?
Sival said to me, "What's so strange about that? It means that my ancestors wanted to record this honor."

"Then let me ask you," I looked back at Sival, and asked the strangest thing I found: "Since we want to record this glory, why did the painting not build weapons for King Arthur, but a round table for his subordinates?" What about knights making weapons? Is there any greater honor than making weapons for King Arthur?"

"Yeah, it's really strange for you to say that."

"There are even more strange things. Look here, the box behind your ancestor is open, and there seems to be a sword inside."

Sival asked me strangely: "What's the problem?"

I said: "This kind of carving is very labor-intensive. If it is not necessary, there is no need to carve it out. This box and the figures are very rough, but these two swords are much more delicate in comparison. Sival, you See what's so strange about these two swords."

Sival took a look at the oil lamp, and said in surprise: "Mr. Hemmer! These two swords should be the same!"

"The same one? You can't read it wrong, right?"

Sival nodded: "That's right, it should be the same one."

According to the speculation in the painting, there is a dagger in the box that is the same as Mordred's sword.However, according to the existing clues, although the ore of Mt. Metmont is high-quality, it is difficult to mine and the price is high. Why do you need to strike another one that is exactly the same when you strike a sword?Isn't this time-consuming and labor-intensive, and more expensive?And from the picture, it can be seen that this sword is hidden in the box, and has never been seen by Arthur or others. Since a weapon has been built, why not let others use it, but lock it in the box?What surprised me the most was, why should this matter be engraved on the box in an inconspicuous way?
This series of questions seems to have to open the box to answer.

With a jingle of bangs and some kind of lock-picking "gadget" of Sival's own making, the chest was finally opened.

There was a burst of dust, and the contents of the box revealed their true appearance. A handful of dust that had turned into something unknown was piled up at the bottom of the box.

Cival and I tipped the box over, and a cloud of dust rose into the air, choking us both.

I covered my face and continued to fiddle with it, and with a bang, a handful of black things fell to the ground.

Sival came up curiously. We took the oil lamp, lay down on the ground, and took out this dagger that was simply wrapped in animal skin from a pile of floating soil.

The size is right, the shape is also similar, and my heart is beating in my throat.

Sival took the dagger, peeled off the animal skin, and an identical dagger without scabbard appeared in front of us.

I looked at the sword and my heart beat like a drum.Sival inspected it carefully and said to me: "Mr. Hummer, look, this short sword is exactly the same as the one you were holding at that time, except that the scabbard is missing. And look at the body of this sword, it is simply wrapped in Inside the animal skin, the whole sword is covered with tung oil, it seems that my ancestors must hastily adopted the roughest and most effective way to preserve the sword."

The sword body is still dripping oil, tung oil is not easy to dry, Xival and I took the sword to the small river in the village for the sake of safety, he went back to the room and brought a set of things, tossed until the middle of the night, and finally cleaned it Clean, the sword also shone a little bit coldly under the moonlight.

Sival was already yawning non-stop, so he went back to sleep first, and I returned to my room with the sword.As soon as he returned to his room, Gaines appeared.Seeing that I was holding this sword in my hand, he asked strangely: "Humer, didn't you say you didn't bring this sword?"

I put the sword on the table, and Gaines came over and sat beside him, his heads, one big and one small, muttering to the sword.

"I did not bring Mordred's sword. This one was left by Xival's ancestors. And his ancestors also carved clues on the box. Here, look, that's it." I put Tuo The painting that came down was shown to Gaines.

He looked at the painting, then at the sword, and muttered: "It's strange. It's really strange."

Before I could ask, he got up and pointed to the sky with his right hand, and then clasped his hands together to form a ring on his chest: "Turn the essence into a god, turn the wind into a guide, and use my power to summon your true nature."

This ancient spell is a bit different from what he taught me. I watched quietly, and a ball of pure magical energy gradually appeared in the ring formed by Gaines' hands. Gaines picked up the ball of energy and held it Above the dagger, as the hands were released, energy slowly fell onto the dagger like light feathers.

"Watch carefully." Gaines' originally joking expression turned serious at some point.

As the pure energy completely enveloped the dagger, the blade gradually changed.A cloud of gray smoke-like gas floated around the short arrow.

Gaines' lips were trembling slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the dagger.Under the light of blue magic energy, Gaines's face couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear.

"What's wrong?" I was also a little worried.

Gaines turned his head to look at me, and there was a little sparkle in his eyes. Is that a tear?He tried his best to suppress his excitement, and said slowly: "Henmo, this sword has the power of a dragon."

"Dragon? Didn't you say that dragons were already dead in your time?"

"Yeah! It's dead, why does it still have the power of a dragon? Could it be that there is another dragon alive and hidden? And the ancestors of the Abros family must have been in contact with this dragon, otherwise this sword There will be no power of dragons."

"Could it be that someone sealed the dragon's power on the sword?"

Gaines shook his head: "Impossible, the breath on this sword is the dragon's breath. From my guess, this sword should be forged with the breath of the dragon. It is not compatible with the power of summoned objects such as black magic or hell fire phoenix." It’s different, dragons are ancient creatures, and these powers come from the dragon itself. Therefore, in the past, only dragon warriors could do it if they wanted to subdue dragons.”

The moment I picked up this sword, I felt a great ancient power from the distant ancient times, but it flowed into my body like spring wind and rain.Seeing all this, Gaines nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, Hummer, put this sword away, it will definitely come in handy in the future."

At night, I put this sword by my pillow and slept very soundly.

On the second day when I was on the third day, I was awakened by a knock on the door. After opening the door, Sival breathlessly pointed in the direction of the village hall and said, "Mr. Hummer, something happened in the village."

I quickly got dressed, and when I arrived at the entrance of the village hall, many villagers had already surrounded the outside, looking inside.Seeing me coming, they all dispersed consciously. After I entered the hall, I found a person standing in the hall. He heard me enter the room and turned around. It was the clerk!

When I saw the clerk, my hanging heart was relieved. He looked me up and down, but there was no trace of joy on his face.After he winked, Sival dispersed all the surrounding villagers, leaving only him, me, and the clerk.

The clerk took out a brown leather bag, opened it, and handed me a piece of brown paper. I took the brown paper and found that it was an explanatory document distributed to various places.

The document reads: To the Kingdom of Camelia, the Kingdom of Tachik, the Kingdom of Fandral, the Kingdom of Locke, Merlin Academy and its lords, direct guards, garrison troops, and knights and other institutions—the current first-level freshmen of Merlin Academy, Hemo Collinan, a trainee magic apprentice and the current head of the Corinan family, deliberately attacked Dale Hurley, the co-member of the Magician Association, the second great magician, and the current head of the Hurley family, and was suspected of stealing the magician. Internal documents of the Association's Operations and Intelligence Office (OIO), absconded in defeat.The important people are now informed of the situation. The Association of Magicians has issued a nationwide arrest warrant for Hummer Corinan, a trainee magic apprentice. OIO and MMO will go all out to hunt him down on behalf of the Association of Magicians. They will cooperate with the letter when they see it. In case of resistance, they will be executed on the spot . --Joint Council of the Association of Magicians.
