The incomplete holy sword needs another holy sword as a material——
The first thing Aiwass thought of was actually Alondette.
After all, the Alondette dagger kept by the Avalon royal family is no longer needed as the key to unlock the Shadow of Avalon ritual. Apart from its ritual and collection needs, it no longer has practical value—
—It’s impossible for the royal family to go up and kill people with a short sword.
But he soon gave up.
After all, the other dagger of Arondette is now with Haina.
Although it was placed on her by Vivian, it has indeed been with Haina since she was a child. It is her precious personal property, her childhood memory, and may even be part of her soul. If Ai
Wentz just planned to borrow it and use it, but he needed to break it into pieces and melt it...
The only holy sword that legally belongs to Aiwass is actually only one.
That is Mordred's holy sword Clarent.
Previously, when Aiwass was still Aleister, he used his mirroring ability to disguise himself as Bayard and meet with the first-generation Red Chancellor Peng Ponacci.
At that time, Pomponazzi talked about the essence of the Bayard family.
The Bayard Consortium is indeed self-made and not a noble. However, they did not obtain wealth through commercial means, but through more violent and radical methods.
Specifically, it is "business war".
The Bayard family is a family of conjurers who walk the path of transcendence and love in parallel, and may even be the inventors of the profession of conjurer.
The ritualists of Star Antimony were originally pure ritualists; just like the cursers were originally pure cursers. Although some prayers and curses are mixed in the rituals and witchcraft, it does not mean that they have mastered the art of prayer.
and curses.
However, the Bayard family believed that the ritual was too mild, so they collected more powerful power from all over the world. This was one of the few families that Aiwass had heard of, and they tried their best to obtain more extraordinary power.
In the entire cultural circle affiliated with the Herasl Empire, the attitude towards extraordinary power is basically extremely cautious, but they regard it as a god. On the one hand, they are very aware of the consequences of deviating from the path, and that high-level extraordinary people will
They will lose their nature and human heart; on the other hand, they regard extraordinary power as a "noble power" that can only be mastered by superiors, as if gaining extraordinary power can change their own destiny...or in other words, if
You can't change your destiny without extraordinary power.
But the Bayard family's philosophy is different.
They believe that extraordinary power is pure tools and weapons. Therefore, if the tools are not easy to use, they need to collect more tools.
No matter the path. Ignore the risks. No matter the cost.
They collected the knowledge of curses, deceptions and potions from all over the world and spent many years integrating it into the root skills of the conjurers. When they really decided to take action, they relied on the taboos of curses, deceptions and potions.
Knowledge successfully reached the top of the Herasl Empire in just twenty years.
If someone blocks the way, kill them. If you find a flaw, use deception to expand it.
Plus those weird potions... those that can make people fall in love with others instantly, those that can make people lose control of their emotions and become ugly, those that can make people sleepy, and those that can make people have cold mechanical rationality, or...
To keep you working without sleep, there are also magic potions that can prevent you from being cursed or poisoned.
It can be said... that none of the Bayard Consortium's money is clean.
It is precisely because too much wealth has been gained through this method that it has offended too many people.
That's why when Vignes was young, her parents were killed one after another by their enemies - it was precisely because they were not all the Bayard family, and there were many people with the surname Bayard that they could successfully protect Vignes.
Si grew up safely.
In the initial stage of primitive accumulation, they even peddled curses all over the world.
The original Bayard family was the group of people who studied the curse the most in the world.
There are always people in other countries who want to curse someone, or there is a need to retaliate or punish someone. Rather than hiring a killer who may be counter-killed or even caught and exposed, hiring a curse master is the safest option.
The successive deaths of the Avalon royal family have proven how terrifying a curse ability that cannot be stopped or even discovered is - their curse ability is far stronger than that of the Noble Red people. The Bayard family alone has
Digital Witch... This is an advanced profession for witches specializing in curses and potions at the fourth level.
Because Mordred's biological son defected to the giants, his adopted son Moriarty inherited the name of the founder of the country.
When he was old, he didn't know why... maybe it was to prove that he had no intention of taking away the honor of his adoptive father, maybe it was to prevent his descendants from repeating the disaster of their ancestors. Or maybe he thought that the surname Moriarty was
It itself represents atonement and forgetfulness... In short, he contacted the Bayard family and imposed the curse of oblivion on the "Moriarty family".
The content of the curse is: when they bear the surname Moriarty, the "Moriarty" they give birth to will be forgotten by all current Moriarty as long as they achieve certain achievements. Because of this curse, the Moriarty family
You cannot let your own biological children inherit the family business, you must adopt promising adopted children.
According to Red Prime Minister Peng Bonazi, the duration of this curse is not permanent.
But "until the seventh life."
Seven is the number of authority, but also the number of strength. In the past, our ancestors caused harm to their families due to treason and treason, so they atone for seven lives...
Maybe it was a medium to impose a curse, or maybe it was a pledge - although Aiwass didn't know why it was pledged - but in short, Clarent was handed over to the Bayard family at that time.
As a result, the Bayard Group collapsed before the arrival of the seventh generation...
Although there are still many people named "Bayard", there is not even a fourth-level transcendent among them.
After all, they themselves relied on curses to make their fortune.
The powerful curse masters in the family are all gone, and the good days are coming to an end.
——Let’s ask the Night Demon later.
Aiwass thought.
She probably knows where her treasure house is...
At Aiwass's request, Merlin released the seal on the red-handled sword.
Its wooden shell burned and its waxy shell melted. Soon, it was no longer a thick key, but a beautiful ruby.
It looks like a short stick, slightly shorter than a rolling pin. Just enough for Aiwass to hold it up and down with his hands.
And when you look inside it through light, you can see a strange golden color.
There are some golden dust at each end to form two hourglass-like vortexes. The tops of the vortexes form a line and meet in the middle.
Only a short piece of metal is left in its front section - the handle is about thirty centimeters, while only about ten centimeters of the "metal blade" in front is left, and it also has prismatic spikes.
It is now more like a short spear than a sword or a short sword.
Its properties have also undergone subtle changes:
[Extraordinary characteristics: The holder gains cursed vulnerability LV5. People attacked by this weapon suffer the same effect, lasting ten minutes]
[Extraordinary Module - Flame Holy Sword: Pay 33 fire attribute mana to activate the flame blade]
[Extraordinary Module - Holy Sword of Light: Pay 33 points of light attribute mana to activate the Holy Blade]
[Extraordinary module - Holy Wind Sword: Pay 33 points of wind attribute mana to activate the invisible blade]
[Spell: Holy Sword Technique (once a day)]
[Necessary: Light 11+Fire 11+Wind 11, or Light 33, or Fire 33, or Wind 33]
[Instant, contact, effective immediately]
[Effect: Consecrate this weapon, turning it into a holy sword and a red-handled sword before the next sunset (sacred weapon-two-handed sword, heavy, evil-proof, sharp, tough, light, the holder temporarily obtains the curse of vulnerability LV7)
, and continue to retain the activated module effects]
[“——The handle of Galahad’s broken sword ‘Evil Curse’ has initially opened the seal. Holding this sword at sunset, it seems that you can hear some sound.”]
