American Celestial Master

Chapter 86, Demon Sword

"This sword?" Priest Karaman glanced at it, thought for a while, and then said, "I remember it was sent by a believer in the last century, and he said it was used by St. George. Well, you know , St. George was ascended in 330, and this sword..."

Priest Karaman said as he took the short sword off the wall, and then pulled the sword out.

"Look at the shape of this sword. This is a typical early Hungarian dagger. At the time of St. George, not to mention the Hungarian dagger, even Hungary didn't exist yet. Look at the blade again, it's very beautiful, right? What a beautiful multi-layer forging pattern, isn't it? But this technology is not the technology of St. George's era. So..."

"So it's certainly not St. George's," said Ralph.

"Yes, but this thing should also be an antique. It may be something from the [-]th century. Of course, it may also be imitated by later generations. Judging by the exquisite craftsmanship, it is likely to have been a sword of a nobleman, but It's a pity that there is no inscription. Although this thing is not a sacred object, the believer who sent it is a very generous person, so we originally put this thing in the hall of the holy object for a while, and later it became more and more After more and more people pointed out that this thing could not be real, we moved it out of the hall of relics and hung it here. After all, this is a donation from believers, so we can’t just dispose of it casually.”

"An antique sword around the thirteenth century, and it's in good condition. It's very rare." Lin Qiusheng took the sword from Priest Karaman, looked at it in his hand, and pulled another sword Huadao, "What a good sword!" Then he inserted the sword into the scabbard, looked at it reluctantly, and handed it back to Priest Karaman.

Ralph glanced at Priest Karaman, and was about to speak.

"Mr. Lin, do you like this sword very much?" Priest Karaman said, "According to our agreement, as the cultural relic expert of St. Nicholas Church in New York, you can borrow some swords from us on behalf of St. Nicholas Church. A holy object. However, this sword is not a sacred object, so it is not included in the agreement. However, considering the friendship between us and our American friends, I can lend you this item for research for a period of time."

How much time is the so-called "a period of time" is quite flexible, and if it is damaged, most of the time it will be just to lose some money.

"Then thank you, I think this sword is probably from the Balkans. It is indeed of great research value." Lin Qiusheng said as he retracted the hand holding the sword and pulled it tightly. .

After entering the library, Priest Karaman took them to look at the orphaned copies of course.Some of these things are actually true.

"You can only watch these things here, and you can't take them away, but for your research, we can provide you with high-resolution photos of them." Priest Karaman said.

"Thank you. Do all the documents here have digital versions?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"The books here are the most precious, and they all have digital backups. We haven't had time to record the books outside, but you can find those books directly on the Internet. I can also copy their electronic catalogs. Provide it to you." Priest Karaman said.

"Then let's go out first." Lin Qiusheng said, "The high-definition digital version of the things I need is the same. It is not good for the protection of these precious cultural relics if someone is inside. Unless it is necessary, if there is less in it, just It’s better to keep it as little as possible.”

This "cultural relic expert" attitude was naturally approved by Priest Karaman. He first expressed his thanks to Lin Qiusheng, and then several people came out of the library together.

A monk in a black robe came over and whispered a few words to Priest Karaman. Although his voice was very low, Lin Qiusheng could hear him clearly.It's just that the priest spoke Turkish, so Lin Qiusheng couldn't understand what he was saying.

Karaman nodded, said something, then turned his head to Lin Qiusheng and said, "The Patriarch will be back soon, but a senior government official is coming, and it may be the same as Constantine these days." It is related to some things that happened in Dinburgh. So unfortunately, your visit today can only end here. If you have anything else, you can also call this number to contact us. "

Lin Qiusheng and Ralph also knew that they had to leave now.Lin Qiusheng nodded and said, "Priest, can you give me the high-definition digital version of the files inside now, I can take a look at the hotel as soon as possible."

Priest Karaman nodded and said, "I have prepared these too. Come with me."

The two followed Karaman downstairs. In a small office on the first floor, Priest Karaman took out a small mobile hard drive and handed it to Lin Qiusheng.

After taking the hard drive, Lin Qiusheng thanked Priest Karaman, and left St. George's Church with Ralph.They still came out from the small door next to them, got into the car, and went to the hotel that had already been booked.

Ralph and the others had already booked a hotel near the Golden Horn. When they arrived at the hotel, entered the room, and put down their things, Ralph asked, "Lin, is that sword unusual?"

Lin Qiusheng nodded and said: "There is no real guy in their hall of relics. As for this sword..."

Lin Qiusheng drew out the dagger casually, and looked down at the faint patterns on the sword: "Of course this sword is not St. George's sword. Priest Karaman is right. This sword should be from around the [-]th century. It may be From the Balkan side. You know that at that time, the Balkan side had a mess with the Ottoman Turkey. Maybe this sword was the sword of a nobleman who resisted the Turks. Unfortunately, there is no inscription so we can’t be sure who it is. But this sword It’s not easy, and what’s in it is enough to make a horror movie.”

"What?" Ralph immediately became excited.

"Do you play games?" Lin Qiusheng said, "In some games, there is a kind of sword with a blood-sucking setting, which can restore one's own life and physical strength when hitting an enemy."

"You mean it's a blood-sucking sword?" said Ralph.

"It's not just blood sucking, it's even imprisoning the soul." Lin Qiusheng said, "You know, no matter which side it is on, such a sword is actually taboo. Because it violates the power of God."

The disposal of the soul is the power of God. Whether it is a warrior of pearl or a warrior of God, it can kill the enemy, but neither has the right to interfere with the whereabouts of the soul.Any attempt to imprison a soul, no matter which side it is on, is considered blasphemy.

Ralph's expression changed immediately, and he said nervously, "Is this a magic sword?"

"Yes, it can even be said to be a sword of blasphemy. It is really ironic that such a sword appears in a holy church. Fortunately, this sword has been kept in the hall of relics. If it is placed below Inside the prayer hall, the murals on it are all real and have a certain power. If the sword has been hung in that place, it will probably be suppressed by those breaths. If so, it will be hung for decades. Now, this sword is basically useless. Now this sword is still good, and it is still very useful."

"I heard that this kind of sword often has a bad influence on the user." Ralph said, "According to legend, only those who have signed a contract with the devil to sell their souls can use this kind of sword."

"Yes, there are indeed similar contracts between the gods of some primitive religions and their patrons. For example, the souls of warriors were taken to the Hall of Valor by Valkyrie. These primitive gods are often classified as devils by Christianity. "Lin Qiusheng said.

At the same time, he also thought in his heart: "In fact, the Lord of Armies also has a similar approach. The so-called soul is taken to hell by the devil. In other words, the soul of the believer has entered the kingdom of God. It will take away the soul that has a contract with itself. As for this method of directly plundering the soul by means, it is actually more similar to blood sacrifice. While this method brings power to the god, it will also bring him many hidden dangers. If a god is not already extremely embarrassed, then he will definitely not adopt such an approach."

"Everything has its usage. If this magic sword is used directly, it will indeed have a great impact on the user." Lin Qiusheng said, "It is likely to make people intoxicated by killing, and become The devil's tool for stealing souls."

"I don't know whose sword this sword was originally. Since this sword has such power, the person who holds it should not be unknown in history." Ralph said.

"I have a way to talk to the soul imprisoned in this sword, maybe I can ask something. But this requires a lot of preparation. Now here is not the time to do this." Lin Qiusheng said, "Well, let's watch TV first, find some English news, and see what happened in Istanbul today. I always feel that what happened in Turkey today is not just as simple as the condor attacking the airport."

Turn on the TV and switch to the English news channel, where a piece of news was broadcast repeatedly—Turkish Prime Minister Erdo’s convoy was suddenly hit by a tornado, and it was reported that Erdo was injured as a result.The Turkish government declared that this incident was not a natural phenomenon, but an attack on the Prime Minister with the help of the devil after the Gulen terrorists sold their souls to the devil.The Turkish government stated that Prime Minister Erdor suffered only minor injuries and is currently in a good state of mind and body.In addition, the Turkish foreign minister urgently summoned the U.S. ambassador to Turkey and once again requested the extradition of Gulen, who is now living in the United States.

Of course, Gulen resolutely denied the allegations made by the Eldor government, and they accused the incident in turn of being a farce directed and performed by Prime Minister Eldor...

"Is Turkey going to be in chaos?" Lin Qiusheng said.

"Not necessarily." Ralph said, "The situation in Turkey cannot be inferred by common sense."
