Chapter 96: The Secret History of Boren
The giant died without the help of the "giant butcher" siege crossbow.
The huge body was still twitching slightly, and Poluo was surprised to find that the giant's body had become softer after death.
The excessive weight crushed the body itself.
Like a collapsed statue.
"You... can you use the magic carving steel crossbow without the 'giant butcher'?! Really, killing a giant!?"
Most of the people who are still alive have already escaped at the beginning of the battle.
Now, the only one left is the Boren NPC who was finally rescued by the veteran.
At this time, the non-commissioned officer looked at the dead giant and widened his eyes. As a veteran in Boren's army, he naturally had seen the dead giant.
All the signs indicate that the giant in front of him has completely died.
"Yes, don't worry, this giant is dead."
While comforting the non-commissioned officer, Lake walked forward and took out some spare herbs from her bag, trying to apply it to the non-commissioned officer.
But the non-commissioned officer waved his hands, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his weather-beaten face.
"Thank you, but...no need, I probably have no help for ordinary herbs."
A fine cold sweat appeared on his somewhat old face, and he lifted his armor and everyone saw it.
The abdomen of the Boren officer had been sunken, revealing a black and purple color.
"I just got wiped by a giant. Now, I can't feel my lower body anymore. I should... be dying, right? I can have a premonition."
Poluo and the others looked at each other, but were at a loss.
They don’t know how to do medical skills. What Lake learned through [Spiral Trail Mark: Hunter] is mostly about trauma and suture.
The injuries of the Boren officer were obviously not only at the level of "trauma".
"It's okay, don't worry about me."
Naboren's officer leaned against a stone, looked at the few people, endured the pain, and smiled,
"Congratulations to everyone, you killed a giant. If the Boren Kingdom can be preserved in the future, you will receive a great reward!
Oh, by the way, remember to cut off the giant's tongue, which can be used as evidence. ”
The non-commissioned officer talked freely, and the emotions on his face became more and more vivid.
This non-commissioned officer looks almost the same age as veteran Yin Wei.
At this time, under the influence of the return to light, his words seemed to be much more.
He looked at the sword that originally belonged to Prince Boren in Lake's hand.
At this time, the complex carvings on the sword were burned after Lake used the spell and were covered with cracks. It was probably not as good as an ordinary sword based on its hardness alone.
The non-commissioned officer seemed to have thought of something, and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile:
"You shouldn't be Boren's people, right?"
"Well, we came from Sinuo."
"Ha, then I'll tell you... a piece of history in the Boren Kingdom!"
The non-commissioned officer had already heard from his accent that the few people in front of him were not locals. He didn't care, but his eyes became more interested, and his words revealed a little pride.
"Of course, you can hear this story from other Boren people, but they all think it is a legend. Only old Boren people like me know that it is real history!"
"You mean..."
After reading the "Boren Intelligence Summary" recorded by the queen, Lake suddenly had some associations.
"A history about Boren and the giants, about the giant royal court that was short-lived in history."
The officer Boren coughed, spit out blood foam from his throat, and a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes.
"Before the founding of the Boren Kingdom, humans fought against giants many times on this plain.
Although the giant is very strong, due to its wisdom and narrow personality...
Under the unity of mankind, the rare number of giants is not enough to exterminate humans until the emergence of the king of giants!
That was a powerful giant, with wisdom comparable to humans, and the ability to command all giants. The most important thing was that he could even forge equipment for the giants with some means!
It has four strongest giants, all of which are armed by armor and weapons forged by the Giant King, and are called...the Giant Guard.
When humans fight against giants, they rely on wisdom, weapons and the power of union.
But when giants also have these—
The human army becomes about to collapse.
At that time, the humans on this plain were almost massacred and became a ranch for giants. Under the rule of that giant king, all giants formed the "giant royal court". ”
"Ah? Then, if the giant's royal court, if the giant has the same ruler as the giant, and... those equipment, how could humans win?!"
"Yes, all humans at that time were almost desperate."
The officer Boren laughed, "But among us humans, there are also legendary and extraordinary warriors who were born-
He is the founder of our Boren Kingdom, and no one knows where he comes from.
All people know is that he is a mysterious swordsman, he has a silver sword as bright as the stars.
He was alone and entered the Giant Royal Court. The four Giant Guards were killed and three were severely injured.
And the giant king with human wisdom was also driven to the clouds-
He can no longer endanger the human race in the world! ”
"Someone can really..."
Lake widened his eyes, and he and others had personally experienced the power of the giant. The only giant he killed was at the cost of overloading the steel crossbow arrow and the prince's long sword.
And there were actually people who could kill four giants who were also armed and armed with weapons, and even drove the giant king with wisdom to the clouds! ?
"Yes, so, he is a legend.
But unfortunately, this battle also caused him severe damage.
After leaving behind the demonic inheritance of our Boren Kingdom, which has been passed down to this day, he died. ”
The non-commissioned officer was silent for a while, then placed his eyes on Lake's waist. The long sword that had been packed with magic breaking was suddenly said,
"But the most precious thing he left behind was his weapon that killed three giant guards and drove the giant king out of heaven-
The long sword with the glow of stars.
It is called... Star Killing Sword. ”
"Star Kill..."
Lake's eyes flashed slightly. She had heard of this name, or rather, she was probably better than a non-commissioned officer to know about this "national treasure" of the Boren Kingdom.
Because, from the Queen's library, the books she got. The name of one of the books is "Star Killing Sword"!
“Originally, since then—
The remaining giants, because of their stupidity, lost their skills in making weapons and armor, could no longer threaten the existence of humans in this plain as before.
But until that human traitor, Severn, appeared. ”
When the veteran said this, he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, and the sound began to weaken rapidly.
"Saven, in addition to using their stupidity, it is very likely that he has obtained all the inheritance of the King of Giants!
Before, the giant wearing giant armor and holding a giant sword should be the only one left a hundred years ago and who has survived to this day-
Giant Guard. ”
"Then why, your king, haven't used that... Star Killing Sword yet?"
Poluo suddenly couldn't help asking, "If it's really powerful..."
"Because not everyone can use the Star Killing Sword. According to legend, only those who satisfy a certain trait can pick up the sword-
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Maybe only His Majesty the King knows what that trait is, right? ”
When the officer Boren said this, his face became paler. He slowly raised his head, looked at the few people, and said,
"That is the national treasure of our Boren Kingdom, but I think that only people are the foundation of the Boren Kingdom.
I don’t know why your Majesty didn’t take out the sword and look for someone in the world who could hold the sword.
But now, it is undoubtedly the last moment. ”
The comrade said, with his trembling hands, he took a flashing emblem from his arms and handed it to Lake in front of him, "Can you... do me a favor?"
Tell His Majesty the King of everything that happened here.
We failed, and that despicable traitor and fraudster may be much stronger than previously predicted - this is the moment of life and death in the Boren Kingdom.
Let Your Majesty the King, stop making reservations.
If we don’t want the century-old kingdom to be dispersed in one go, we must give all of it! ”
Lake wants to say something else.
But the non-commissioned officer in front of him had closed his eyes and his hands were hanging weakly.
...
Several people rode their horses, turned out from the forest, and embarked on the road to the royal capital again.
Lake looked at the emblem left by the dead No. Servant Boren, under the golden luster, there were still some unremovable blood stains.
"Can that Demon-Breaking Sword still be used?"
Poluo asked as he looked at the long sword covered with cracks and charred black around Lake's waist.
"It can't be used, but when I study for a while, I may try to recast one."
Lecluga thought and replied, "Besides, this sword is actually just a copy of the Star Killing Sword, not very precious."
Speaking of this, Lake suddenly looked a little depressed. She was silent for a few seconds and said again,
"Puluo, the Star Killing Sword is actually not very high..."
"Is it recorded in the Queen's notes? What are the conditions for its use?"
Poluo also thought of the Queen's book, "Star Killing Sword", which was recorded in a book of notes.
"Those who choose to fight because of protecting and saving others can all be qualified to use the Star Killing Sword."
Lake replied, wrapping the emblem left by the officer Boren, put it in his bag along with the cut giant's tongue tip,
“I think, like the previous ones…
Soldiers who died at the feet of giants for the sake of desperate efforts should be recognized by Xingsha Sword. ”
"Then why, Your Majesty the King doesn't use it?"
"Maybe it's that king, it's a little difficult."
The night was once again shrouded in, and the clouds in the sky covered the stars.
The journey seems a bit blurry, and even with map comparison, it seems dark and difficult to see.
Several people stopped and raised the bonfire.
It was Poluo's turn to watch the night. His faint green eyes looked at the girl lying leaning against him.
It was late at night, but the girl did not fall asleep. Her blue pupils looked at the glimmer of light revealed in the clouds in the sky, as if she was thinking about something.
"Don't you sleep? Lake."
Poluo asked.
"I'm a little...can't sleep."
Lake's bright eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Poluo, "When I close my eyes, I will see those who died tragically at the feet of the giant, and... the dead Boren soldiers."
Poluo was silent for a moment, sat down next to Lake, looked up at the sky, and for a long time, he suddenly laughed:
"Lack, I haven't told you a fairy tale before bed in a long time, right?"
"Puluo, what are you going to tell me?"
When Lake heard this, a hint of expectation appeared in his blue pupils.
"A story about the giant, a story about - courage and wisdom.
The name of the story is -
Brave little tailor. ”
