Chapter 190 The Demon Sword Recognizes Its Master and Sings
Three years ago, Shu Li heard the Elf King mention the story of the five magic swords. Later, he checked many ancient books in the Elf Kingdom Library and the Divine Tree Library and collected some information.
Ten thousand years ago, in order to win over the human race, the gods gave each of the five strongest humans a magic sword.
They are:
King of Cecilia——Sword of Carlos
The King of the Snow Kingdom——Sword of Bersuger
Queen of the Snow Kingdom - Sword of Eterno
Queen of Elizabeth——Sword of Viona
King of Lordran - Sword of Arathor
Unfortunately, as time passed, the kingdoms of Elizabeth and Lordran disappeared in the river of history, and the Swords of Viona and Alasir disappeared.
Although the Kingdom of Cecilia has continued to this day, it has become smaller and smaller, and the Sword of Carlos has been lost.
As for the Sword of Bershug and the Sword of Itno, they never recognized their owners and became antique decorations. They were taken as dowries by the two princesses to the Kingdom of Pedam and the Empire of Dalia respectively.
The five magic swords once played an important role in the war of the gods, but now they have suffered a tragic fate, either lost or neglected, which is a pity.
While reading ancient books, Shu Li was surprised to find that the magic sword was both a seal and a key.
Each magic sword has the power to seal darkness. When the five swords become one, they can seal the god of darkness.
On the contrary, if the dark forces obtain the five magic swords, they can break open the gates of hell and allow the god of darkness to reappear in the human world.
When Shu Li found this information, he was shocked and immediately ran to ask the Elf King with the ancient book.
The Elf King told him that only the master of the magic sword could unleash its true power. If the dark forces wanted to use the magic sword to break through the gates of hell, they had to get the consent of the master of the magic sword.
The masters of the magic swords are the embodiment of justice and will never surrender easily. The dark forces cannot achieve their goals unless they force the masters of the magic swords.
However, the masters of the magic swords are all upright and would rather die than surrender, and they would never become the running dogs of the dark forces.
"What if, what if?" Shu Li felt that nothing was absolute. What if someone wavered in their beliefs and was forced to succeed?
The Elf King said solemnly, "Then he will lose the Demon Sword's recognition and will no longer be its master."
Shu Li was shocked when he heard this.
It turns out that the magic sword has self-awareness. Upon learning that its master has betrayed it, it immediately untied itself and looked for another master.
If that was the case, then he would be relieved.
This time, Shu Li came out to gain experience. In addition to looking for elemental elves, he also wanted to find five magic swords and persuade their owners to stand on the same front with him to fight against the dark forces.
He never expected that just a few days after leaving the Fairy Forest, he would find his first magic sword - the Sword of Viona.
Who would have thought that the Sword of Viona, which had disappeared for thousands of years, had become a rusty and broken sword and was stored in the treasure house of a wealthy businessman?
By chance, it was given to him as a gift.
What surprised Shu Li even more was that when he brought the sword back to the room, it revealed its true appearance without any warning and burst into a dazzling light.
After Shu Li came to his senses, he asked Ace to stay in the room first, and he hurriedly called his friends over one by one.
Soon, seven young men gathered around the magic sword on the table and expressed their opinions.
"Didn't they say that the Sword of Viona is missing?" asked Dizio.
"Could it be a counterfeit? I heard that the dwarves' casting technology is very advanced." Budno said.
"It clearly looked shabby before, why has it changed now?" Amanda wondered.
"Since it is a magic sword bestowed by the gods to mankind, it must have its magical properties." Kumandi said as he opened the notebook in his hand.
"I think... it was stained with Sperian's blood and returned to its original state." Dizio said affirmatively.
"So, does it recognize Sperian as its master?"
When Angel asked, the room suddenly became quiet and everyone turned to look at Shu Li.
Shu Li was stared at by six pairs of eyes. He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and pointed at his nose, and said with a confused look: "Recognize me as your master? Impossible! I... I don't have the blood of Elizeria."
He is a fairy, not a human. How could the magic sword recognize him as its master?
The Sword of Viona is a magic sword bestowed by the gods to the Queen of Elizaea. It only recognizes humans who inherit the Queen's bloodline.
Except for Ace, the other friends looked at each other in confusion.
The goblins and dragons all knew Sperion's true identity, and that he indeed did not possess the qualities to inherit the Sword of Viona.
So, what exactly is going on?
Ace reached out and grasped the hilt of the Sword of Viona, trying to lift it up, but the sword seemed to be stuck to the table and did not move.
"Wow, what's going on?" Desio asked in surprise.
This is a one-handed sword. With Ace's physique, he should be able to lift it, right?
Ace let go of the hilt and said with a smile, "You all try it."
"I'll go first!" Dizio rubbed his hands and grasped the hilt of the sword, "Get up--"
He used all his strength to lift it up, and even the table moved with it, but the sword did not move at all.
After trying for half a minute, he gave up and frowned, "It's so heavy."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Budno was ready to make a move. When Disio stepped aside, he immediately picked up the sword, but as expected, he also failed.
"How could this happen?" Budno puffed up his cheeks.
Next, Amanlai, Angel and Kumandi came forward to try, but all ended in failure.
Finally it was Shu Li's turn, and under the expectant gaze of his friends, he lifted the sword with ease.
Shu Li: -0-
What's going on?
Why was he the only one who succeeded in lifting the sword? Could it be that the Sword of Viona truly recognized him as its master? Was it so casual? Wasn't it said that only those who inherited Queen Elizabeth's bloodline could be recognized by the sword?
The little goblins didn’t understand, and the little dragon didn’t understand even more. They all looked confused.
Ace pondered and said, "I once read an ancient book that contained records related to magic swords. It is said that those who are recognized by the gods can use any magic sword."
Shu Li was confused: "You mean... I am the chosen one?"
Ace nodded: "Yes."
Shu Li instinctively retorted: "Impossible!"
The passage between the heaven and the human world is cut off. How can he gain the recognition of the gods?
In addition to going to the Temple of Eddas before, entering the magic circle that travels through time and space, and meeting the God of Fire.
etc--
Shu Li suddenly remembered the small flower crown on her head.
Ronos Krotor, the god of time and space, divided his soul into three Horcruxes. The Horcruxes recognized him as their master and are now hidden in small flower crowns.
Maybe I really am the chosen one, otherwise how could I travel to another world and become a little fairy?
When you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
He is a brave man, the one who will defeat the God of Darkness in the future. It is not surprising that he is recognized by the Demon Sword as an exception, right?
Shu Li took the sword and retreated to an empty area in the room. He used the sword skills he had learned throughout his life, swinging his sword several times with a heroic look.
Very handy!
As he swung his sword, the blade shone with brilliance, as if it was happy to see the light of day again.
"Did you hear anything?" asked Desio.
"Yes!" Budno listened attentively. "It seems to be... the crisp sound of some kind of metal colliding."
Kumandi frowned. “Like a song.”
Ace smiled and said, "It's the Sword of Viona that's singing."
"Can swords sing?"
The goblins and dragons widened their eyes in disbelief. Shu Li stopped swinging his sword and looked at his human classmates in disbelief.
He searched many ancient books but couldn't find this information. Which ancient book was Ace reading? I'd like to borrow it and have a look when I have the chance.
It's weird that the magic sword can sing.
Ace said, "Legend has it that every demonic sword sings when it recognizes its master. Of course, this isn't singing in the traditional sense; it's the unique chime of a demonic sword."
He closed his eyes and listened intently.
Upon hearing this, the little goblins and the little dragon followed suit.
At first, all I heard was the sound of metal colliding. As I was completely immersed in it, gradually, clear singing began to appear in my ears.
"...A lovely warrior.
You are the stars, the sun and the moon
Is the embodiment of light
Not afraid of hardships or challenges
Chasing light and freedom
I will fight with you
Break through darkness and constraints
Let the sword bloom in the light
……'
The singing ended, the light from the Sword of Viona slowly faded away, and everything returned to calm.
Shu Li opened his eyes and stared at the silver-white magic sword in his hand with a surging heart.
"That sounds great!" Budno held his cheeks.
"Yes, it sounds like a poem sung by elves." Amanda said intoxicatedly.
Dixie patted his shoulder, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you ever heard the poetry of the elves?"
Amanda was about to say, "Of course I've heard of that," but then she remembered there was a human classmate present, so she shook her head and giggled.
Shu Li stared at Ace with his gray-green eyes and said seriously, "You are right. The Demon Sword has indeed recognized me."
Ace said sincerely, "Congratulations."
Shu Li grinned happily, "Thank you."
"Sperian, that's great!" The other friends congratulated him.
Shu Li was happy for a while, then placed the magic sword on the table and said regretfully, "It's a pity there's no scabbard."
Angel suggested, "Let's go to the weapons store tomorrow and buy a suitable scabbard!"
Dizio nodded: "That's a good idea."
Budno asked worriedly, "Is the Demon Sword willing?"
The magic sword just sang a song, which means it has self-awareness. It is not the original scabbard, so it will reject it, right?
Kumandi said, "Try it first. If it doesn't work, put it in the storage bag."
"Storage bags!" Dizio high-fived. "Yeah, we need to buy storage bags too!"
Although everyone has a storage ring, it was made by fairies and is too advanced to be suitable for the identity of a magic apprentice, so it has never been used.
The lack of storage items caused considerable trouble on their journey. However, they only had ten gold coins earned from completing quests in Kesheng Town, and could not afford the cheapest storage bag.
Now it’s different. The generous Johnny not only gave them three thousand in reward, but also an additional one thousand in bounty.
In other words, they earned a total of four thousand gold coins on this mission.
The seven people divided 3,500 gold coins, and the remaining 500 were used as the team's shared funds.
Each person has 500 gold coins, which is more than enough to buy an ordinary storage bag.
When it comes to shopping, everyone is excited and looking forward to tomorrow.
Seeing that it was late at night, Shu Li sent them back to their rooms to sleep.
Five minutes later, Shu Li was the only little goblin left in the room. He changed into loose clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and lay down on the bed.
Johnny was right. The conditions in his home were indeed much better than those in the hotel. The quilt was fluffy and soft, and there was a sweet smell of sunshine.
So warm.
He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Shu Li was sleeping soundly and kicked off the quilt unconsciously, revealing half of her slender waist and snow-white legs.
Moonlight shone into the room through the window, sprinkling silver frost all over the ground. The air fluctuated, and a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of the table.
He reached out and grasped the hilt of the Viona Sword. His emerald eyes glanced at the goblin sleeping soundly on the bed, and he smiled gently as he lifted the sword easily.
The bony fingers stroked the blade, and the blade lit up with light blue magic runes.
"Long time no see, Viona." The Elf King whispered.
The sword of Viona made a crisp sound.
"Shh..." The Elf King raised his finger, "Don't disturb your new master."
The Sword of Viona was silent.
The Elf King put the sword back in its place, walked to the bed, saw the little elf's unique sleeping posture, reached out and considerately covered him with a quilt to prevent him from catching a cold.
Shu Li felt the warmth of the quilt again, rubbed it, and fell into a deeper sleep.
The Elf King looked at the bed for a moment and then teleported back to his room.
Early the next morning, Team Light had breakfast, packed their luggage neatly, said goodbye to Johnny's family, and went shopping in high spirits.
The sword of Viona had no scabbard, so Shu Li asked Johnny's servant for an unused bed sheet, wrapped it tightly, tied a rope with it, and hung it on his shoulder together with the backpack.
They first went to a magic item store that sold storage bags, bargained with the owner, and bought seven storage bags for three hundred and fifty gold coins.
Each storage bag costs fifty gold coins and can store 2 cubic meters of items.
I put my luggage and money into the storage bag and felt relieved.
The storage bag has a sturdy buckle, so you can tie it to your belt without worrying about it being lost or stolen.
After leaving the magic item shop, Team Light went to a nearby weapon shop. In addition to buying scabbards, they also wanted to replace their magic wands.
Now that you have money, it’s time to upgrade your equipment.
The owner of the weapons shop was very enthusiastic when he saw seven magic apprentices coming in at once, and he welcomed them with a smile.
Shu Li politely asked, "Hello, sir. Do you sell scabbards separately?"
The boss said, "Yes, there are many. This shelf is full of scabbards. Please take your pick."
Shu Li and his friends stood in front of the shelves and looked at them. Each scabbard was very beautiful, inlaid with gold and jade, and they were afraid that others would not know its expensive price.
There are ranging from one hundred gold to one thousand gold, which is dazzling.
"I think this one is good." Angel pointed to a white scabbard that cost one hundred and twenty gold coins.
"This one is too monotonous. I think this one is better!" Disio pointed to a golden scabbard with a price tag of five hundred gold.
"It's too expensive!" Budno dismissed the idea.
Discio scratched the back of his head and realized that all the scabbards he liked cost more than five hundred gold.
Kumandi said, "It's useless if you like it. It has to be liked by Viona."
Shu Li agreed, "Yes, I'll let Viona choose for herself."
As he spoke, he took out the tightly wrapped magic sword from the storage bag.
The owner of the weapons shop initially thought that "Viona" was one of them, but when he saw the black-haired magic apprentice take out something wrapped in a sheet, he was very surprised.
It’s actually... a sword?
Shu Li untied the sheets, revealing the magic sword. The magic sword shone brightly, almost blinding the boss's eyes.
He blurted out: "Nice sword!"
As the owner of the weapon shop in the royal city, he had seen countless high-level swords and had a keen eye. He immediately realized that this was a rare and good sword.
Shu Li held the sword near its scabbard. "You choose. I'll buy whichever one you choose."
Amanda asked curiously, "How do we know which one it chooses?"
The magic sword can't speak.
Shu Li smiled and said, "Let's give it a try."
He brought the sword close to the cheapest scabbard, and seeing no reaction, he moved it to the second, the third... until he had touched all the scabbards, but the magic sword still showed no reaction.
Shu Li glared at it: "Really? You don't like it?"
Does it really require the original scabbard? But no one knows where the original scabbard is!
"So picky?" Desio asked.
"If you really can't do it, just stay naked!" Angel sighed.
Shu Li was hesitant, and Ace took out an unremarkable scabbard from somewhere and handed it to him.
“Try this.”
The weapons shop owner exclaimed, "Wait a minute—this is a discarded scabbard, it definitely won't fit!"
What was going on with this blond magic apprentice? He even found the scabbard he had put in the corner and took it out to try out.
A good sword deserves a good scabbard, and this scabbard definitely doesn't fit.
The boss is waiting to see the show.
Shu Li held the scabbard in one hand and inserted the magic sword into it with the other.
clang——
It's inserted.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
There are so many expensive and beautiful scabbards on the shelf, but instead he chose such an ordinary and slightly ugly scabbard. Isn’t the magic sword’s preference a bit weird?
Shu Li looked around and felt that the scabbard was very handy. He said seriously, "Viona is a good sword that knows how to save money for its master!"
Isn’t that too considerate?
I don't want expensive things, I want cheap things.
Shu Li raised the corner of his mouth and asked the boss: "Is this a discarded scabbard? How much is it? I'll buy it."
The boss was about to ask for a lot of money when Shu Li said, "Make it cheaper! We still need to buy seven more magic wands!"
Hearing this, the boss's eyes rolled and he said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll sell it to you for five silver coins!"
Shu Li took out five silver coins and handed them to the boss.
The boss took the money and immediately began to introduce them to the row of expensive magic wands on the shelf.
Shu Li listened patiently, then discussed with his friends. He walked to the cheapest shelf and pointed at a magic wand worth ten gold coins. "Seven of these magic wands, please. Thank you."
The boss's face turned green.
Why did he waste so much saliva just now?
