Chapter Nineteen: Peak Portrait
Wei Yi walked through the rows of tall and heavy bookshelves, and the strange fragrance emitted by the books made him feel refreshed.
"This smell is actually effective in improving mental strength?" Weiyi asked in surprise.
At the end of a row of bookshelves, a dozen easy-to-carry candlesticks were piled up scatteredly, covered with a thick layer of dust.
"It seems that no one has entered the library for a long time. Why don't the staff from the Holy See come to clean up such an important place?" A trace of doubt appeared in Wei Yi's heart.
He took a candlestick, and the wax on it was like a stone. With some effort, Veil lit the candlestick and walked into the darkness with the help of the weak light.
"The first floor is filled with ordinary magic books and cultivation books, which are of no use to me. The truly valuable books should be above the second floor. However, I don't know where the entrance to the second floor is." Wei Yi murmured.
murmured.
Wei Yi came to a row of bookshelves and took down a large book at random. There was a six-pointed star engraved on the cover of the book, which meant that it was a magic book.
He opened the title page of the book, and the yellow paper was marked with a pattern of flames.
"The fire magic book, she won't need it." Wei Yi shook his head and put the book back to its original place.
After Weiy flipped through more than a dozen books under the bookshelf, he finally found a magic book with a light blue cover.
"Ice magic book." Weiyi put away the books and checked the bookshelves again. After confirming that there were no books of the same type, he picked up the candlestick on the ground and continued walking forward.
He had been in the sea of bookshelves for almost half an hour. Except for the sound of footsteps while walking, the entire library was dark and silent, and there was no sound.
Wei Yi's eyes moved, and he had a certain understanding of the library.
On a closed and empty first floor, even the slightest sound would cause a huge echo in the closed space. However, after staying here for so long, I didn't hear any movement from the other four people.
"It seems that there are sound-isolating space formations in the library pavilion! The power of the Holy See is really troublesome." Wei Yi sighed.
There is no sound in such a large space. The only explanation is that there are many space arrays arranged inside the space to isolate the sound.
Wei Yi did not linger in the bookshelves storing magic books anymore. He walked out of the bookshelves in his area and returned to the main passage.
The passage was covered with a thick dark red carpet, and every step Wei Yi took left footprints on the dust on the carpet surface.
But when Wei Yi walked halfway through the main passage, something seemed to catch his eye in the darkness at the end of the passage.
Wei Yi felt a strong attraction in his heart, as if letting him pass.
"Let's see what it is." Wei Yi thought to himself.
He walked into the darkness at the end of the passage. The flame of the candlestick dispelled the darkness and exposed the things at the end of the passage to the light.
At the end of the passage is a wooden wall, and a tall black bronze statue stands in front of the wall. Under the weak light of the candlestick, the surface of the bronze statue shines like starlight.
Wei Yi's eyes fell on the bronze statue, as if he was frozen, and his face was full of astonishment.
The bronze statue is of a warrior wearing armor, with his hands overlapping and resting on the hilt of a long sword in front of him. The warrior looked into the distance with a serious face, as if he was on guard against something.
The warrior's armor is engraved with retro patterns. Even Wei Yi knows that this pattern is the armor pattern of the northern country's army, and it is no longer used.
Wei Yi subconsciously touched the base of the bronze statue, and the cold metal touch made him shiver.
When his eyes fell on one side of the base, a patterned square caught his attention.
"This is?" Wei Yi raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to press the pattern square.
Click!
When Wei Yi pressed the square, a secret door suddenly popped open, bringing up a cloud of dust, which shocked him.
After the dust fell, several books neatly placed together appeared, and Wei Yi took the books out. Perhaps due to their age, the paper of the books had turned yellow and brittle.
"It's a pity. It seems that these two books are about swordsmanship, but they are almost eaten by insects, and you can't learn anything!" Wei Yi flipped through the two books above and lamented helplessly.
Swordsmanship books, what he lacked the most were books in this area. It was hard to find them, but they turned out to be incomplete. This luck made Wei Yi feel dumbfounded.
"I hope this one is good." Wei Yi looked at the last one and murmured.
He opened the book, and lines of clear text came into view.
"Great, this book is intact!" Wei Yi said overjoyed.
After turning to the last page, there was a blank piece of paper with a pattern in the center. When his eyes fell on the pattern, Wei Yi suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and a rich and powerful voice echoed in his mind:
"I am Denton, the commander of the Iron Legion of the Kargul Empire, the marshal of the fifteen imperial legions, and the commander of the southern front."
"Hateful, hateful! We resisted for nearly a year, but our defense was finally broken. The iron hooves of giants and monsters stepped into the fertile land in the north of the southern border, and the beacon fire finally entered the southern border that has been peaceful for thousands of years. All of this is my fault.
"
"If any descendants are lucky enough to hear my words, please remember the danger of monsters to our human race. If the darkness of monsters reappears in the world, be sure to inform the seven powerful families, remember!"
"My records include several of my sword techniques. If anyone in your generation uses a long sword, I hope it will be of benefit to you."
"I, Danton, have been practicing martial arts for more than fifty years, and it is enough to kill nine kings with half a peak of strength!"
The sound slowly dissipated in the air, and Wei Yi remained stunned on the spot, staring blankly at the bronze statue.
The Kargul Empire was an empire that existed more than 9,000 years ago and was one of the largest empires at that time.
The content of Tanser's conversation with him suddenly appeared in Wei Yi's mind. More than nine thousand years ago, the second super war!
His eyes widened when he looked at the bronze statue. According to the voice that just appeared, this bronze statue was none other than Denton, the military commander of the Kargul Empire at that time!
"Peak strength, could it be... that he is a peak martial artist?" Wei Yi cried out.
The reason why the peak martial artist is called the peak is that his strength has reached the pinnacle in the world. If he takes a step forward, he will reach the legendary realm - Lingzhi, Lingzhi martial artist.
Once you reach that level, you are basically no different from the ancient gods.
The ancient gods walk in the six realms. They have unlimited lifespan and great strength. However, they will not interfere in the disputes between the various tribes in the six realms, otherwise the results of the two super wars will be discussed.
Peak martial arts masters like Denton all fell in the second super war, which shows how tragic the battle situation was at that time.
This is just one empire. During the war at that time, the human race had nearly twenty empires! Until now, there are only three major countries left.
"What kind of king is he talking about? There are also seven powerful clansmen...could he be talking about the seven saint clans?" Wei Yi's pupils shrank and he murmured.
It may be that he has a family bloodline in his body. Every time he talks about this topic, Wei Yi will feel his body warm up and a special feeling will appear in his heart.
"Seniors fought bloody battles to defeat the monsters and giants. Now, the Stei Council has disappeared, and the inheritance of the seven holy races has been cut off. Tanser said that only the blood of the Vivaz family is still flowing, which does not mean that it can effectively fight against the monsters.
, am I the only one?" Wei Yi looked at the starry sky map on the dome and muttered absently.
After a long time, Wei Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I'm not strong enough now, and all I encounter are relatively weak monsters. If I want to fight against monsters, I'm afraid I have to wait until I reach the peak of my strength as a martial artist, right? There's a long way to go!" Wei Yi stood up and cheered up again.
.
Vey stared at Denton's statue. Although he didn't know why this powerful statue was here, he sacrificed his life for the human race. No honor or title could show his merits and achievements!
"Senior, I will do my best! For the honor of the Vivaz family!" Weiyi looked serious, bowed deeply to the statue, turned and left with the sword skills left by Denton in his arms.
Chapter completed!
