"Sevant·Saber, came in obedience to the call."
There was a sound in the majestic scene of thunder, lightning, and strong wind.
It’s not big, but it overwhelms all the scenes that transcend common sense.
In the depths of the surging sea of light, a man walked out slowly.
The first thing I saw was his hair, which had a very strange color. At first glance, it seemed to be gray, but upon closer inspection, I found that there was a very flowing brilliance underneath the gray. It was an extremely rare pale golden color, which was very similar to the gray color.
The similar but different colors of Valima's gray are impressive.
Underneath the pale golden hair is a young face, in his twenties, slightly older than Rean, but not a few years older.
The strong eyebrows and bridge of the nose, the cold eyes, and the resolute face all tell that this person is extremely determined.
He wears a gray windbreaker with a black lining inside, which together wrap a slender and powerful body. The arms and fingers are also very long, and the distribution of bones and muscles is extremely even. It would never be possible to achieve this level unless he has been exercising for many years.<
/p>
This alone is enough to show that this is a powerful warrior.
The man who appeared as a Saber stopped at the edge of the summoning circle, looked around quickly, and finally fixed his gaze on Rean.
"Are you my summoner?"
"Exactly." Li En nodded. Having had a similar experience, he could face it calmly.
"Then Summoner, answer me a question. Based on the answer, I will decide whether to obey your orders."
The man's voice was as cold as his eyes, but there was some deep emotion beneath the coldness.
Li En didn't pay attention to this seemingly unruly behavior and responded calmly: "Excuse me."
"There is only one reason why I am willing to answer the call, because I heard someone saying that the tragedy in Hamel is far from over, and that voice——"
"——That's me."
Both sides raised their eyes at the same time, and their eyes met.
At this moment, the four people watching all felt that the two men looking at each other were very similar, not just in appearance, but because they had some common traits.
"Since you asked this question, you must be the executor of the 'Body-Eating Snake', No. 2 Sword Emperor Reinhardt, and the master of the sword 'Rock Eater'."
"Yes, I am."
The man whose real name was Reinhardt turned slightly sideways and saw the golden sword inserted as a catalyst in the center of the summoning circle, his eyes nostalgic.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword.
"Old friend, long time no see."
The golden sword with its broken tip made a trembling sound, the sound was clear and clear, as if it was welcoming its master back.
Then, an invisible force swept across the sword body, sweeping away the traces of time on it, completely restoring the dim sword body to its original coolness. The sharpness that bloomed in an instant made everyone feel dazzling.
The sword has its own spirit, which Rean already knew when he resonated with the Samlian stone sword.
It was the same reason why I could feel the call of "Rock Eater", but compared to him, the newcomer, the old master was still better.
The Sword Emperor held the sword again and did not continue to test the sword. He simply held it and murmured softly: "I'm sorry, you broke it because of me."
"Rock Eater" trembled again, and the buzzing sound seemed to comfort the owner not to care.
Du Barry once said that the "Rock Eater" lost its power after the death of the Sword Emperor.
Perhaps, it is not that it has lost its power, but that it is just because the master is not around and has become dusty, so that it will always be by the master's side.
Of course, this is just Li En's conjecture and there is no evidence.
But this did not prevent him from respecting the people and swords in front of him. Laura and others also had the same attitude. Regardless of whether they understood swords or not, they could feel the unique atmosphere flowing between people and swords, so no one bothered them.
,waiting quietly.
After a while, Reinhardt left this unique atmosphere and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I feel a little nostalgic when I see the old things from my lifetime."
"It doesn't matter." Rean shook his head, "I believe the 'Rock Eater' will also be happy for your return."
"I am equally happy to meet him again. However, the dead are the dead after all. Although I don't know why I became a being called a heroic spirit, I don't actually want to break the boundary between life and death."
"Sorry for disturbing your peace."
"No need to apologize. Since I responded to your call, it means that I still care about you."
With a sigh, Reinhardt looked slightly sad.
"Hamel, my hometown was destroyed because of Wiseman's ambition to seize the treasure - the truth I only learned at the end of my life. I thought this incident had ended with the death of Wiseman and I.
Now it seems that is not the case."
"Wiseman? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."
Li En was slightly startled and confused.
"And what's the point of seizing the treasure? Isn't it just to frame Liber?"
"You don't know?" Levi glanced at Rean strangely, feeling as if he had been tricked.
"I don't know." Li En said honestly, "I only know that it was a tragedy caused by a noble general seeking military glory."
"The person who devised this conspiracy and told the noble faction generals about the location of Hamel was Wiseman, the third pillar of the association, and now probably the former third pillar, 'white-faced' Galug Wiseman, with the purpose of allowing the empire to occupy
Liber, so that he can seize the treasure 'Ring of Glory' sealed by the Liber family."
After hearing what Reinhardt said, Rean finally remembered where he had heard this name.
"The leader of Liber's mutation? The plan before the 'Phantom Flame Project'? I remember it seemed to be to seize the 'Treasure of the Sky'."
"If there is no other plan in between, this should be it. It is officially called the 'Gospel Plan'. This follow-up plan was created because Wiseman failed in the Hundred Days War."
"I see, I didn't expect there to be such a secret."
"I've said everything I know. It's your turn. Why is the incident not over? What's the real culprit?"
"The reason is also because of the treasure. You are an experiencer of Liber's mutation and have personally experienced the magic of the treasure. Liber has one treasure and the empire has two. Although these two treasures have been sealed, they have also been left behind.
A curse - targeting the weaknesses of the human heart, amplifying the dark side and desires of the human heart, thereby arousing strife."
For example, for some reason, a trigger for war arises. If both parties exercise restraint, the war may not occur and be resolved through other means. But due to the existence of the curse, if both parties waver at least slightly, they will be affected, leading to a war.
.
The fighting spirit generated by the war will awaken the 'terminal' knight god who bears the power of the treasure. This is a huge weapon beyond human imagination. Its investment will make the war more intense, eventually leading to a vicious cycle.
The Hamel Massacre also had the influence of a curse. If there was no curse, even with Wiseman's design, I am afraid that the generals of the aristocratic faction would not have done such crazy things."
Rean did some thinking after understanding the mechanism of the curse.
It is obviously not advisable to put all the responsibility for the war on the curse. Other countries also have wars without curses.
But the curse is definitely the main reason and the biggest driving force.
Don’t forget, Rean teaches history. He knows very well that there have been far more wars in the history of the empire than other countries. This is the impact of the curse.
