During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.
This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...
Chapter 1095 Clarent Holy Sword
Landon looked at the scene around him and couldn't help but feel curious.
The Bayard family, once wealthy enough to rival a country...is their treasure trove in a place like this?
Even this piece of land has been converted into a park. Is it true that the treasures will not be taken away by someone first?
His ancestor seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and uttered a sweet yet stern voice: "I've told you before, 'Territory is the secret treasure, blood is the key'—
"Sprinkle your blood on this land, Landon. Chant your true name and open this secret treasure."
"--yes."
Landon nodded in agreement with a solemn expression.
He was actually filled with curiosity… Although he knew that with the Bayard ancestor here, it wasn't his turn to take it. But his father died so early and so suddenly that he had no idea of the Bayard family's status and wealth. Now, he finally had the chance to witness it with his own eyes…
He looked around like a thief, to see if anyone was watching.
"Don't worry," Aiwass said suddenly, "I have arranged the expulsion ceremony in advance and have been guarding it until now."
Aiwass was a little nervous for a moment - this Landon really didn't look like Bayard's descendant at all.
"OK……"
Landon breathed a sigh of relief, and even his back straightened up.
He pulled a ceremonial dagger from his bosom, cut his palm, and splashed the blood onto the grass.
"I, in my name—Landon Vines von Bayard, head of the Bayard family—open the secret treasure of the Bayard family!"
His father had died in the demonic calamity.
Today, he is the head of the Bayard family and this generation's Baron Bayard.
...Although there are no longer any barons in the New Helasar Empire.
But at least he was still the true head of the family, and that was why he could lead this ceremony.
Following Landon's command, the earth hummed and vibrated slightly, and red light flowed through the cracks.
The blood sank into the earth, and cracks appeared in it. The crimson light was like a sharp sword piercing through the ground. The earth also cracked.
They formed a huge magic circle. Then, the bright red light became brighter and brighter, turning Aiwass's skin red.
——That is the power of the curse.
The love and animal power that permeated this land frightened the small animals, making them struggle and try to escape.
If they fled like this, something might happen... like attracting curious people. So Aiwass frowned slightly, extended his hand, and emitted light, using illumination magic to calm them.
After the animals had calmed down and left safely, he stood up and walked over to Baron Langton.
As the ritual became more complete, several portals gradually appeared.
They were like petri dishes for human cloning, or glass display cases—faint shadows emerging from the cylindrical red light.
First there were four in the inner circle, then thirteen in the outer circle, a total of seventeen extraordinary props.
"...Only, seventeen?"
Baron Langton murmured softly.
"Because strictly speaking, the Bayard family doesn't need a treasury."
The crow suddenly spoke up, "This treasure house is just a 'locker' for storing the guests' pledged items. If the curse is completed and the guests' pledged items are lost, it would be embarrassing..."
"Every item here is a curse in action. However... those cursed families may not still exist today."
"Vignes... This should be the Holy Sword Clarent."
Aiwass looked at one of the four extraordinary items in the inner circle, and couldn't help feeling a little excited.
This is the holy sword of Mordred, the ancestor of the Moriarty family and the Knight of the Round Table...
As long as this holy sword is broken, the curse of oblivion that has entangled the Moriarty family will be ended!
No longer needing to raise a strange adopted child, but being able to give birth to her own child normally and give him the correct surname...
"Yes, Master."
Vignes said softly.
Then she pointed the bird's head at Landon, her voice becoming stern: "Hold this sword, Landon. Take it out directly - only you can do this."
"Oh, okay..."
Landon agreed and carefully reached his hand into the cylindrical crimson shadow.
When he grasped the sword that was only an illusion, it seemed as if it was gradually printed out, emerging from the void section by section!
"Well……"
Landon's face suddenly turned bitter.
The moment the sword appeared, he almost let it slip away.
The sword was unusually heavy... or rather, it was supposed to be that heavy. However, Lanton had never held such a huge sword before, so he had no psychological expectations of its weight.
He grasped his right wrist with his left hand and barely pulled it out.
Seeing that he was about to lose his balance and fall, Aiwass quickly reached out to support him and took the hilt of the sword.
And Vines just let out a loud "Gah!", and the bright red curse wrapped around the sword shattered and disintegrated on its own.
For her, who possessed divinity, fragments of the Celestial Master, and had officially reached the sixth energy level, this was just a simple act.
The dark red dirt that had once clung to the sword, like congealed blood, also dissipated, revealing its true form as a holy sword.
A pure and holy silver light shines on the sword.
This holy sword was completely different from the ferocious and aggressive stance of the red-handled sword. Its widest point, closest to the guard, was over twenty centimeters, and the blade alone was over sixty meters long.
...It's like a door panel. More like a shield with a handle than a sword.
A ceremonial greatsword—more reminiscent of a princess's white dress than a silver-white knight's armor. So enormous that it was difficult to wield, its blade was inscribed with elven words praising the Silver Crown Dragon.
This is a sword without a sheath.
Because it wasn't meant to be used for cutting people - Aiwass noticed that it didn't even have a blade.
The sword of ceremony, the sword of peace.
The pure and glorious Clarent—just as Mordred killed his two own sons and abandoned his family name for the sake of purity, its blade has probably never been stained with blood.
Aiwass grasped the giant sword with one hand.
The moment he touched the sword, the attributes of the sword immediately appeared before his eyes.
