Chapter 611 Heleqin's Speech
After reading the task list, the slowing ship finally stopped.
Aiwass adjusted his clothes slightly - he noticed that there were obvious signs of tree formation on the left forearm of "Herchin Dragon Flame".
It was a crack in the bark, about two centimeters wide and eight or nine centimeters long. It looked like a scar left after a burn, not very noticeable, but when you touched it, you could feel the roughness and woodiness.
After slightly cutting it with my fingernail, I could see the cut marks, but there was no bleeding and no pain at all.
"…early stage of dendrobium?"
Aiwass murmured softly.
At Heleqin's waist was a rather impressive short sword. It didn't look like an elven sword, lacking the ornate gems and hollows of the sword. Instead, it was a simple, clean shell white. The slender scabbard was devoid of any ornamentation, appearing both plain and elegant.
When Aiwass pulled it out, its properties were revealed:
【Farrna's Dragon Fang】
【Superb Weapon (Purple)】
[One-handed Sword, One-handed Weapon, (Dexterity Weapon)/(Throwing Weapon), Light, Tough, Sharp]
[Dragon Style: Sharpness and toughness increased, maintenance cost significantly increased]
[Module - Swift Strike: When the other hand is empty, this weapon can be regarded as a dexterity weapon]
[Module - Light Throw: When holding a weapon in the other hand, this weapon can be regarded as a throwing weapon]
[Extraordinary Module - Dragon Flame Infusion: Pay 10-30 Ignition Mana to activate the Dragon Flame Blade, which lasts 30-90 minutes. The infusion state can be retained for up to three hours while the blade is sheathed, and the duration is not counted during sheathing.]
There is no doubt that this was a gift from Helechin's wife Fafna.
By the standards of purple equipment, its attributes are obviously inflated.
"Swift Strike" and "Light Throw" are actually not very useful. It means that when the other hand is empty, the hit rate and critical hit rate of this weapon will increase with Aiwass's dexterity; at the same time, if the other hand is holding other weapons, it can also be thrown out like a throwing knife, without a throwing penalty like ordinary weapons.
As for "Dragon Flame Infusion"...
Aiwass wasn't sure how much additional damage this weapon could achieve, but it was clear that the reason it reached purple status was because of its extremely long enchantment time.
Generally speaking, the charge duration of a purple weapon is only a few minutes at most. In the game, many players' weapons have a charge duration of only a dozen seconds, with some lasting half a minute. Anything up to three minutes is considered "long-lasting charge."
Not only does this weapon have a maximum charging time of up to one and a half hours, but it can also pause the timer for three hours after sheathing the sword.
It was obvious that this weapon was specifically designed for prolonged combat, a true battlefield weapon.
Aiwass was a spellcaster after all. He didn't know swordsmanship, but at least he could use it for self-defense.
"Mr. Helechin!"
Just then, there was a knock on Aiwass's door: "We're in Avalon!"
He sheathed his dagger and put it back at his waist, then walked over and opened the door.
Before him was a short half-elf.
He was only about as tall as Aiwass's chest, and his back was a little hunched, making him look even shorter.
Aiwass was dazed for a moment before realizing that he was too tall.
The guy raised his head with all his strength, and looked at Aiwas with eyes full of longing and excitement: "Sir Heleqin! Are we about to start a new adventure again?"
The moment he saw him, Aiwass felt that he looked familiar.
After taking a closer look at the chestnut-like hat on his head, Aiwass finally remembered—
This was the undead knight who loved to perform acrobatics that he had seen in Eagle Cape Village.
He was the one who stood up from the ghost horse, leaned his upper body outward, and rode the horse with his hands loose.
[This is Albert, a half-elf born from the ancient Parthian Empire]
After Aiwass stared at him for a long time, a steady male voice suddenly emerged in his mind.
——This is the second time.
This time, Aiwass finally captured this strange feeling.
It’s not an illusion, but a clear “memory”?
While Aiwass pondered what this was, he calmly reached out and patted the short, skinny half-elf's shoulder. "You guys wait on the boat first, Albert. I'll go down and explore the way alone."
"As you command, sir!"
Albert folded his hands on his shoulders, bowed his head respectfully, and did not raise any questions.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Helechin!"
"Good morning, Lord White Knight!"
"May the candle protect you, Lord Heleqin."
As Aiwass left the room, everyone he met on the way greeted him.
They were men and women, young and old. The oldest was a white-haired dwarf covered in pieces of red armor; the youngest was a human girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing leather armor.
——And what they have in common is that they are all very short.
Aiwass looked around and saw only six or seven elves of about the same height as Heleqin, and more than half of the pure-blooded elves were noticeably shorter than him. There was no elf on the entire ship who was noticeably taller than Heleqin.
He roughly estimated that Heleqin should be at least two meters and five inches tall.
No wonder the one-handed sword turned into a defensive dagger in Heleqin's hands.
When Aiwass walked onto the deck, he saw the entire large ship.
The elven ship was much larger than he had imagined. It was made of beautiful red wood, and its core material obviously came from the sacred giant tree.
By human standards, this could even be considered a giant cruise ship. It had at least twenty cabins, and even with more than forty people standing on the deck, it still seemed spacious.
There's even a Pegasus standing here!
It was most likely not "cargo" being transported, as it emanated a golden glow that seemed to be substantial. This glow enveloped the entire ship, forming a protective shield.
It was clear that Heleqin's entourage hadn't fully utilized the ship's capabilities. With few professional sailors, simply trying to sail it was a struggle. In this sense, the stabilizing force of the Pegasus could be considered a boatswain.
Looking at the expectant eyes of his followers looking at him, Aiwas roughly understood what was going on - Heleqin had probably already told them the purpose of this trip before.
So he raised his hand.
Just by doing this, people immediately quieted down.
"Brothers and sisters, keep quiet!"
Aiwass spoke loudly and clearly: "As previously stated, we have arrived in Avalon..."
At this moment, Aiwass was in a trance.
His perspective suddenly began to rise - from first person to third person, overlooking this gorgeous and exquisite wooden ship like a god.
Here is Helechin giving a speech:
If we are on the right path, the problem of giants must be solved. If we turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the giants, then when the sinners accuse us, we will have no choice but to remain silent in shame.
"'—With the wicked and mad nation of giants standing before us, why don't you punish them? Are they too powerful to be provoked? Aren't you also bullying the weak and fearing the strong?'
“My friends, I don’t want people to judge us like this then.
"I don't want you to be speechless in the face of such interrogation."
