Chapter 25: On the Necessity of Literacy

On a small cargo ship on the vast sea, Ander was holding the "Polu" sword he got from the Chu family and studying the special features of this sword.

"It's amazing that there is no refraction of light after passing through it."

Ender put his hand behind the transparent sword. He could clearly feel the cold sword body, but his hand didn't seem to be deformed at all.

"It's not like some kind of transparent glass or plastic, but more like some kind of stance."

Ender actually has a spell that can make the weapon invisible, but it is difficult to make it completely deformable like this sword.

After all, that spell is based on the principle of distorting light. You can still see some clues if you look closely, but it is not as perfect as this sword.

From this, Ender combined the science fiction novels he had read in his previous life and speculated whether the hilt of this sword might be some kind of stance generator, maintaining a stance in the form of a sword.

"The most advanced technology is often indistinguishable from magic."

Ender sighed.

At this time, Ande and his party boarded the ship from Shanghai to Minzhou, carrying the arms brought by Angers, and sailed to the southeast of China.

They will disembark at a hidden seaport in Minzhou, join the main force, and then transfer to another large ship to head to Pingjin.

The enemy didn't show up during this period of time, and Ender was a little worried. Based on his many years of experience, he didn't know what the mastermind was planning.

There were footsteps behind him, and Ander turned around and found that it was Chu Hao's sister, Chu Jie, who had a man's name.

"Ajie, what's going on?"

During these few days of travel, Ander also became familiar with the Chu family brothers and sisters. In fact, Chu Jie was much easier to get along with than his brother with his poker face.

"Uncle De, are you studying our sword again?"

It can also be heard from the names of the two that they are now much closer.

Mainly because both Anger and Chu Hao needed to prepare for their future plans, so Ander could only chat with Chu Jie.

"Don't you blame me for taking your family heirloom?"

"Polu originally belonged to my brother, but he doesn't like to use a sword. I might as well kill a few more clear monsters for you instead of just leaving it piled up in ashes."

"Then before you..."

"Uncle De, it seems like you don't have much experience in the world of martial arts. Why are you selling something and pretending to be pitiful?"

Ander was speechless. Chu Jie was different from his brother in that he had no control over his words. How could he say such a thing.

Now there are people from Chu Hao on the boat, so Chu Jie did not change his clothes, but wore a light training suit.

It's freezing cold now. One of the two brothers and sister is naked from the waist up, and the other is wearing a thin shirt. They are both people who are not afraid of the cold.

"Uncle De, have you found anything through your research?"

Chu Jie asked curiously

"One thing I have learned from research is that none of your Chu family ancestors are probably scholars."

"Uncle De, how do you know that my parents have never read books, and my brother and I only know a few words?"

Ander took out the "Polu" sword, pointed at the two seal characters on the sword's jaw and said:

"These are the only two characters on this sword. They should be the name of the sword."

The little girl nodded repeatedly and asked, "Are these two words Polu?"

"These two characters are Dingguo. Your ancestor has always called you by the wrong name."

Ender also discovered it after a while after getting the sword. If he hadn't imposed a language that he knew well on himself, he really wouldn't have been able to recognize these two abstract words.

"I still think Polu sounds good."

Chu Jie on the side scratched his face and quickly changed the topic.

"Uncle De, are you very powerful? How about we give it a try?"

"I can beat your brother, but can't I beat you?"

Ender didn't want to fight on this boat. The small boat was not as good as the giant ship. It was rickety and uncomfortable if it got wet.

"My brother can't beat me."

Perhaps because sailing was so boring, Chu Jie became more playful. She got into the cabin and soon took out two wooden sticks of about the same size.

"Come on, Uncle De, let's compare."

Ander looked at the wooden stick in Chu Jie's hand and thought to himself, I am a warlock and I don't know much about melee combat. Isn't it just a gift to compete with you in a sword fight?

But sitting on the boat was really boring. Ange and Chu Hao were together every day, and they didn’t know what they were talking about. He could only coax the children on the side.

Ander also wanted to have some fun, so he said to Chu Jie:

"How about we change the game. If you can cut my skin, I will return this sword to you."

"Polu is a treasure, don't use him as a bet!"

Chu Jie obviously valued this sword more and didn't want Ander to neglect the Chu family's treasure like this.

"Then you have no chance of getting this sword."

Chu Jie hesitated for a moment, perhaps believing in his own strength, and replied:

"Forget it. Although my brother likes to use axes, Polu is quite suitable for him. I'll bet on it."

"Okay, that's the spirit you need."

After Ender finished speaking, he took off all the miscellaneous clothes on his upper body.

"Ah, Uncle De, what are you doing?"

"Your brother is topless every day, what's the big surprise?"

As he spoke, Ender canceled part of his transformation and turned the skin of his upper body into dragon skin.

"Did you see it? I'm standing here. You can cut it as you please. If the skin is broken, I will return your Chu family's sword to you."

Chu Jie was not shy at all, but a little angry.

"Uncle De, how do you use the spirit of speech?"

"You can also use the spirit of speech, and you can also use your Ping Kou knife."

The remaining sword of the Chu family is in Chu Jie's hand. The name of the sword is Ping Kou, which matches the sword very well.

Ender was worried that he would overturn, so he added the stone skin spell and mage armor to himself. In his opinion, even if this little girl used the spirit of speech, she would not be able to cut through his dragon skin.

Seeing Ander like this, Chu Jie also walked back to the cabin. When he came out, he held the Tang Heng Dao with a ring head in his hand, followed by Chu Hao and Ange.

"Senior Ander, why do you need to be angry with your roommate?"

When Chu Hao came up, he apologized repeatedly and asked Ander not to compete with Chu Jie.

But Ande was really bored these past two days, and he also wanted to see what was special about this girl, and was determined to test how powerful Chu Jie's knife was.

Seeing that Ander was unable to make any progress, Chu Hao only stepped aside and enjoyed this strange duel with Ange.

Ender sat cross-legged on the deck, his skin showing a gray-white color, and pieces of dragon scales appeared on his skin, which looked like some kind of sculpture.

"Uncle De, I'm offended."

Chu Jie drew his sword. It looked ordinary, but the next moment it glowed red, like a red-hot iron.

Ender could clearly feel the heat on the knife, just like the molten sword in the robot animation he had seen back then. The power of this knife was far beyond Ender's imagination.

Dragons are greedy, and Ander didn't want Chu Jie to defeat the magic weapon he obtained, but he couldn't regret it, so he could only bite the bullet and accept Chu Jie's sword.

Secretly adding another energy damage resistance to himself, Ander pretended to be confident and said to Chu Jie:

"Come on, see if you can break my absolute defense!"
