"The living magic sword...the remains of the path of the beast."
Aiwass murmured in a low voice: "Is this the secret that makes people crazy and out of control?"
"Yes."
Merlin nodded, looked down at the huge key in Aiwass's hand, and sighed: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have broken it and sealed it... This is more or less a relic of Galahad, and it's
The treasure that Lancelot once held was the best thing to keep, and it was more or less a thought.
"...It was precisely because I felt so distressed that I didn't completely destroy it at the beginning. Otherwise, according to my habits, I wouldn't want to use such an unstable force."
Merlin said this and sighed: "I also thought...what if there is a way to solve its problem in the future?"
Merlin obviously didn't agree with Aiwass's use of the power of the red-handled sword.
For Merlin, the risk of the red-hilted sword far outweighs its benefits. Just letting a Knight of the Round Table display his strength far beyond ordinary people seems to be of no use in a battle of the scale of conquering Tiansi... On the contrary, it is a beast
The power of the road may cause the road to deflect.
"Mr. Merlin," Aiwass asked suddenly, "do you know the remnant soul of the paladin in the red-handled sword?"
"I think it may be a conceptual knight formed from the soul of the Balin Knight."
Merlin obviously knew of its existence, so he immediately replied: "Do you know where this sword came from, Aiwass?"
"I heard that it was on a piece of marble. It said the words 'Only the greatest knight can make me move'. And everyone tried to pull out the sword, but even Arthur failed. The only one
It was Bahrain who pulled it out."
Aiwass answered with interest: "Why, isn't this wrong?"
"Yes, and also wrong."
Merlin shook his head: "Because specifically, this happened after the Round Table was established.
"In the beginning, it was a lake fairy who brought the sword..."
Merlin patiently told the story. His words were full of nostalgia.
——That was a story that happened before the Knights of the Round Table were established.
Before Lancelot, Mordred, Tristan and Guinevere joined the round table, a fairy suddenly came to them and told them in public that she would give them a difficult problem.
Her body is extremely beautiful and full of charm, and she has no hair on her body. She only wears a thin black robe on the outside, and has this sword on her waist. In order to get a better look at her, people gathered around her.
Three floors outside and three floors.
She pretended to be weak and said that she had been entangled with this cursed sword for too long. Only the purest person could pull out this sword from her waist. But as long as she opened her cloak, people would inevitably notice it.
Her incomparably beautiful body. Whether it's Gawain, Bedivere, Kay, Merlin... or even Arthur.
As a fairy in the lake, she has the most charming body. The angle of the scabbard is fixed, so if you want to pull out the sword, you can only reach down from her chest.
And as long as he has the slightest desire for her, he will feel so weak when holding the sword that he won't be able to use any strength at all.
When facing a determined knight, she will even take the initiative to tease him. Even if the other person tries hard not to look, it is difficult for him to remain calm under the charm of the Lake Fairy. And as long as distracting thoughts arise, let alone
When he pulled out the sword, he would stumble and fall even when she pushed him away.
Such a weak woman actually challenged almost all the knights - at that time, people knew that this was provocation. She claimed that she was a friend of Morgan, but she might also be a mortal enemy. Because Arthur had a one-night romance with Morgan, she
Come to verify whether her charm is greater than that of her sisters... and to prove that the Arthur that Morgan thinks of is nothing more than that.
The fairy in the lake continued to humiliate "Arthur and his followers", who were famous for their bravery, in public, and brought their reputation to disrepute. The angry Balin rushed over, drew out his sword, and swung the man into the lake.
The fairy was beheaded on the spot!
Because he was enlightened very late, he had no affection and love in his heart. He was single-minded and just wanted to be the strongest in the world!
"His character later became more and more perverse, arrogant, and increasingly disobedient to orders. He was used to acting alone, and would even attack his colleagues. He also provoked Arthur several times, trying to seize the leader's position from him... and perhaps
It was because of the curse given by the Lake Fairy before her death that he finally fell into the trap because of his irritability and arrogance."
Merlin sighed: "Although everyone knows that this sword contains a curse, and even gave it a name of 'curse'. However, after all, it is an extremely powerful force that can change destiny. I am worried that someone will be tempted.
, so I stole it and sealed it - and inserted it into a huge marble rock as big as a mountain. In addition to the requirements of 'the purest', I also added the requirements of 'kindness' and 'firmness'.
Bind it to prevent someone from pulling it out and causing trouble in the world.
"But considering that it is a very powerful magic sword after all...what if we encounter any powerful enemies in the future and need to go back and get it? So I added the sentence 'Only the greatest knight can make me move'
Something like that. In this way, it doesn't sound like a magic sword, but like a holy sword that needs a test before it can be picked up, so the power of this unstable curse is bleached out - isn't it?"
Merlin sighed: "As a result, many years later... when the Round Table was established and we went to Avalon to defeat the giants, a marble slab suddenly floated in the river with a sword stuck on it - and then the story you know
Galahad drew the sword and used it until the end."
"You are a genius, Merlin."
Aiwass exclaimed.
It turns out that the real history is like this...
However, there is not much difference in the archaeological results of Avalon. At least Professor Bard guessed it right in the general direction, but the details are a little different... After all, the psychological activities of the parties involved are something that no matter how powerful the archeology professor is, he can't
You can guess it.
"After Balin died because of this sword, its demonic nature became stronger. Originally, it would just become weak and weak, like when sick or just waking up. But since then, just touching it will cause it to become weak.
Changes in mind, may even cause hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
"That is the remnant soul of a paranoid knight - it is also like a new-born spirit. He seems to have learned the code of knights from our words and deeds, and awarded himself a knighthood. He is definitely not
It's Bahrain... Because he has a strong obsession with worshiping the sun, we all call him the 'Sun Knight'.
"The Sun Knight and the red-handled sword formed a wonderful balance - part of the reason why Galahad was able to use its power was that he reached a contract with the Sun Knight."
"Sun Knight..."
Aiwass became a little serious when he heard this.
This is very important information.
Merlin obviously didn't know the specific origin of the red-handled sword, he only knew that it was related to the beast master.
But Aiwass thought of more.
Because he had witnessed the fall of the second sun. When the second sun "Tai Yi" was about to be replaced by Weizhe, the sun was shattered by the supreme sky and became torn into pieces.
At that time, fragments of the sun fell into the sea, emitting steam like quenched metal. The creative power of the First Source River escaped, and the Beast Master was born.
Before the beast master created all things, races such as the winged ones and the scaly ones all came from the creation of the sun god Taiyi. Another part of its remains gave birth to the giant tree, and the sons of the giant tree became the elves-that is,
The first breast-bearers.
All creatures created by the beast master have the characteristics of fearing fire and loving light. This seems to come from the instinctive fear of fire and affinity for light; Eternal Self, as the moon god, can give birth to the sun. I am afraid that some of them
The reason is because she and the beast master still have the remaining fragments of the path of Taiyi in their bodies.
——Just like the sky-eating giant beast still remains in the body of the Supreme Heaven, which needs to be expelled from the impurities by nurturing a clan of giants; the "authority" path of the Silver Crown Dragon also has the influence of "power".
And Aiwass used a red-handled sword.
That holy sword happens to contain the power of wind, light and fire.
Light and fire - aren't these the attributes of the sun?
As for the wind...maybe it has something to do with the sun too?
In other words, that is the difference between the second sun "Tai Yi" and the gentler third sun "Xi Tiansi" - because Xi Tiansi lacks the power of "wind", which makes its heat and brightness ratio
It has obviously dropped a lot since ancient times.
"What if I want to awaken the Sun Knight in there?"
Aiwass asked.
"Is he your target?"
Merlin suddenly realized: "No wonder... I remember you have the ability to seal phantoms! This makes sense...
"...But it's not difficult for me to break the seal. I can break it immediately if you think about it. But it is difficult to repair this sword...After all, I am not a blacksmith. I will smash it, but I can't
Put it back together - I'm afraid I'll have to go to the dwarves to fix it, and I'll have to use another holy sword to mend its edge.
"Of course, even if you repair it completely... I'm afraid you won't be able to wake it up."
"Why?" Aiwass asked.
"Because the remaining soul inside was separated and preserved by me."
Merlin simply replied: "I smashed all its blades and sealed the hilt, how could I keep the remaining soul inside?
"But it's fate - because the remnant soul inside was put into another holy sword by me.
"It happens to be Mordred's former sword, the Sword of Clarent. If I remember correctly, your Moriarty family should be the descendants of Mordred, right? Look through your family treasure trove, maybe
It's right there.
"——If you just want the paladin soul inside, I don't think there is any need to repair the red handle sword."
"No," Aiwass rolled his eyes, but smiled like a fox, "You undo the seal first. We will talk about other things later."
