Chapter 182 The Most Handsome Paladin on the Continent
The light will be slightly distorted by this gap, but the effect is even more subtle than dust, and it is really hard to find it without careful observation.
"It took 1,700 years for this seal to have a crack. If it weren't for fate's guidance to narrow the scope, I would never have been able to find it. Arthur Ryan is amazing! He is worthy of being the man who killed the dragon in the legend."
Amber tried to use magic to sense, but unfortunately it had little effect.
This is just a crack caused by the broken seal, and it is not a way for future generations to crack it.
Arthur Lane had never thought of letting anyone find it at the beginning, so this seal was like a lock without a key prepared from the beginning, and there was no normal way to unlock it.
Amber could dismantle it with brute force.
Holy light and dark magic are incompatible. Using dark magic to corrode the seal will definitely weaken its power and thus unlock the seal.
And this seems to be the only way.
Amberxiu was not worried about the self-destructive effect of the seal. Forcible dismantling would damage the artifact or teleport it into the void.
If Arthur Ryan could have destroyed the artifact, he would not have thought of sealing it. If he could have thrown the artifact into the chaotic void where it could not be found from the beginning, he would not have thought of sealing it either.
From this we can conclude that this seal does not have the above two effects, it is just hidden, very hidden.
Since the contents inside are safe, Amber Xiu has no time to play with any technical skills and can just use brute force to crack it.
Dark magic was injected along the gap smaller than a hair, and began to react violently with the holy light power that maintained the seal. Flames began to emerge continuously in the air.
As the crack continued to grow larger, brilliant holy light shot out from it and almost pierced through Amber's head.
Amberxiu had to hold up the mage shield to resist, but as soon as the mage shield blocked the bombardment of the holy light, the holy light began to condense as if it had life and turned into a human shape.
"Heavenly warrior! God of Alchemy, are you so powerful?!"
Condense your body with holy light, summon the warriors under the Lord of Dawn to possess you, and slay your evil enemies.
As soon as the celestial warrior appeared, he slashed towards Amber with his sword.
Nothing could be more evil than a lich, so the celestial warrior immediately rushed towards Amber.
Amber Xiu sighed. Fortunately, he changed back into his mithril body after getting ashore.
The double-handed blades popped out, steadily caught the heavenly warrior's holy light sword, and then easily cut the opponent's holy light sword into pieces.
The sharp blades that popped out of Amber's arms had a magic-breaking effect, and holy light was just a special kind of spell energy. The inheritance obtained from Catherine included the method of making magic-breaking weapons, which was the power of legendary grace.
This celestial warrior composed entirely of holy light should have been able to defeat the undead, but now he was restrained by Amber's magic-destroying blades. His body was chopped into pieces in just a few simple strikes, and the holy light with its structure destroyed could only dissipate unwillingly.
Now it seems that it is fortunate that the war with the elves did not break out, otherwise mages like Amber would have been suppressed to death.
The celestial warriors were killed, but the seal was not opened. It just consumed some of the holy light power inside.
Amber Xiu could only sigh that Ryan's founding emperor was indeed extraordinary.
Magic is not the same as the older it is, the more powerful it is, unless there is a catastrophe that causes the inheritance to be cut off. Mages are all intelligence-enhanced, and with their efforts, new magic is simpler, more powerful, and consumes less energy.
The reason why this seal, which was created over 1,700 years ago, is so powerful is not because the seal is so sophisticated, but because the person who cast the seal is extremely powerful.
"I'm afraid he was already at the level of a demigod before he killed the dragon? He seemed to be only in his early thirties at the time. It's true that people are more likely to die than others."
This world is always so unfair. Some people have lived for hundreds of years but are just fake legends, some are already demigods at the age of thirty, and some people think they are invincible after fighting for half their lives, but when they go out they meet a young bull and are beaten to the point of doubting their lives.
In this world, there is no rule that the longer you live, the more powerful you become.
After feeling impressed by the power of this founding emperor, Amber continued to work hard, pouring dark magic power into the gap, which entangled with the power of holy light and made a crackling sound.
The hair-sized gap was being enlarged, and with Amber's efforts, it soon became the size of a toothpick.
Seeing hope, Amber decided to continue to increase his strength so as to open the seal before the Angry Tide Kingdom discovered it.
However, the holy light power inside suddenly became violent. Amberxiu felt something was wrong and quickly retreated dozens of meters away.
A pure white halo exploded, like a scorching sun bombardment, turning the area of dozens of meters into scorched earth.
"What the hell is this?!"
Amber was shocked. This holy light was different from the previous ones and was incredibly powerful.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, the light would have been enough to seriously damage his body.
Before Amber could figure out what was happening, a translucent figure floated out from the crack. This was a middle-aged man who looked quite handsome, in his early thirties, with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing heavy silver-white armor.
This looks a little familiar...where have I seen it before?
Amber Xiu reminisced for a moment and soon remembered where he had seen it - the Ryan Imperial Capital.
Although he was unable to leave the teleportation array at that time, he saw the huge sculptures around him. In addition to the statue of the Lord of Dawn, there were many reliefs that were exactly the same as this middle-aged man.
"Arthur Lane?!" Amber shouted out this terrifying name.
The translucent figure showed a puzzled expression when he heard Amber's words.
To Amber's surprise, Arthur Ryan did not immediately shout at him to kill. Instead, he asked doubtfully, "Are you a lich? I'm sure I don't know you. If I had seen a mechanical lich, I would never forget it. But you're not mistaken. I'm Arthur Ryan, the most handsome paladin on the continent, no doubt about it!"
Amber: ...
Is this the character of the founding emperor of Ryan? How shameless.
The phantom of Arthur Ryan seemed very talkative. He said to Amber, "Then, Mr. or Ms. Lich, could you please give up your greed and let this artifact remain sealed? You don't know how important this artifact is. Once the seal is lifted, even the undead will be in trouble."
Amberxiu didn't dare to act rashly. Although the phantom in front of him was definitely not Arthur Lane himself, the phantom gave Amberxiu a lot of pressure, just like the feeling that the Silver Moon Knight gave him.
This guy is very dangerous!
Amber tried to sense it with his senses, and after a few seconds he said in surprise: "Your Majesty Ryan, this is... your soul?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Arthur Ryan corrected him seriously, "It's a Heroic Spirit! The soul of a paladin must be a Heroic Spirit, please don't make a mistake. Also, why do you call me Your Majesty?"
"Heroic Spirit..." Amber was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
Amber is an absolute expert in souls, and his perception will never be wrong. The shadow of Arthur Lane in front of him is a complete soul.
But this is unreasonable. After Arthur Ryan killed the dragon tyrant, he lived for more than a hundred years. How could his soul appear in this seal?
If he was really Arthur Lane, how could he not know that the Dragon Tyrant was dead, and why did he say that the appearance of the artifact would bring danger?
It was too confusing. What happened 1,700 years ago? If Arthur Ryan used his soul to seal the artifact, who killed the dragon tyrant? How could the previous Elf King not know about this? If he knew about it, why didn't he remind me? Did he want to kill me and then let the debt go?
Many thoughts flashed through Amber's mind, but now was not the time to think about this. The noise here was so loud that it would soon attract the attention of the Kingdom of Raging Tide. He had to get the artifact first and think about other things later.
"Your Majesty Ryan... No, Arthur, can we make a deal? You lend me the artifact inside, and I promise to return it after I use it." Amber discussed with the heroic spirit of Arthur Ryan.
Arthur Ryan said firmly: "It's impossible, please give up this idea. Once the artifact leaves this barrier, the cruel tyrant will sense the location of the artifact. No one can catch up with the speed of the Time Dragon. Once he gets the artifact again, everything will be over. But don't worry, I can definitely create a new world. In this world, even the undead will have their own living space. Please wait patiently, everything will be fine."
Amber Xiu really wanted to curse: I don't believe you! The persecution of the undead by the Lion Empire is too numerous to count. Not to mention the undead, the Dwarf Kingdom is almost destroyed, and other races are almost extinct due to the oppression of Lion. Who would believe the words of a racist leader like you? However, the power of the prophecy school told Amber Xiu that the heroic spirit in front of him was speaking the truth.
God of Alchemy, wasn't Arthur Lane a racist in history?! Amber Xiu felt that the amount of information he got from these few short sentences was more than all the unofficial history he had heard in his life.
No, that's not the problem. Amber Xiu said quickly: "Arthur, the Dragon Tyrant is dead. You have achieved your goal. The dragons have been expelled overseas."
When Arthur Lane heard what Amber said, he showed a surprised expression: "The tyrant... is dead? How long has it been?"
Amber said sincerely: "One thousand seven hundred years have passed. Arthur, you have accomplished the feat of slaying the dragon tyrant. You are the founding emperor of the Ryan Empire. You are a legend among legends. Poems praising you are circulating throughout the continent. Therefore, this artifact has long lost its owner. Please lend it to me. I need this artifact to save a human being."
Arthur Ryan seemed to be shocked by the sudden news. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "I... succeeded? The tyrant is dead?!"
Amber Xiu quickly said: "Yes, it was you who cut off the dragon's head."
"Is anyone else telling stories about my heroic deeds?" Arthur Lane asked.
Amber continued, "Of course, you are the protagonist of a story that has always been popular on the continent. I don't know how many versions of the opera based on you have been revised."
Arthur Lane then asked: "Can you read two passages for me?"
"Well... I don't usually read poetry. I remember a few lines: The Holy King is covered in the morning light, and the long sword slays the evil dragon... something like that." Amber Xiu recited a few lines casually. He really had no interest in these things.
Arthur Ryan laughed and said, "Your poem is as bad as the one written by a goblin. You just made it up, right? It seems you don't have much talent as a bard."
Brilliant holy light emanated from Arthur Ryan's body. He drew out an illusory sword from his waist, and the holy light wrapped around it like a raging flame.
The dazzling light made Amberxiu's magic power boil. The strong sense of crisis told Amberxiu that he could not take this sword, otherwise he would die.
Arthur Ryan tightly grasped the sword and said to Amber, "You are actually sent by the tyrant to steal this artifact. Give up. No matter if it takes 1,700 years or 18,000 years, as long as I am still alive, I will not let anyone take this artifact away!"
Amber sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty Ryan, I have always regarded you as my idol. After all, I was once a human being."
After saying this, Amber Xiu directly opened the private space.
"Captain Ai Ge! It's your turn!"
