Chapter 171 The Stars’ Agreement
"Star Killing Sword comes from...a girl?"
When Lec and Poluo heard this, they were a little confused. After all, if such a weapon was guessed from its origin, most of them would think of craftsmen or were directly given by God.
"So, is this girl an angel? Or a god?"
Lake thought for a while and asked.
"No, it's not. Although the story of our family is missing a lot in this part, the story is quite certain that the girl is not a god or a similar angel.
She is like an ordinary person and does not have too strong power. ”
The young hunter tells, "In the legend of our family, the girl, she was blessed by the stars because of her kindness, and the light of the stars gathered into her dress.
So, the stars were tangled around her. ”
The young hunter paused and looked at the Star Killing Sword in Lake's hand. He felt that he could see the flowing starry sky on the smooth sword.
Just like what he imagined in family legends.
"This girl will take off the leaves condensed by stars on her body and give them to the poor. She is kind and will try her best to use what she has to help everyone who sees with her own eyes - those in need.
She is a very selfless person, I believe you can hear it too. ”
When the young hunter spoke this, his words were calm, and the next sentence turned around, "But most of the time, when darkness came, it surged from all directions, when malicious intentions and killings were difficult to contain-
Just having good intentions and wealth can bring is too fragile. ”
"She hasn't been able to dispel those malicious forces, right?"
When Lake heard this, he remembered the robber-like village, the bloodthirsty giants, the witches and warriors who killed because of their own desires...
In a peaceful country, the kind people can use infinite wealth to save the poor from water and fire.
But in this era of heaven collapse and clouds everywhere.
Without strength, you can't even protect yourself!
"Yes, when she witnessed again and again that the people she saved died under the sword and war, innocent humans were swallowed by giants, and the silver turned into by the stars could not redeem even a life from the killing..."
The young hunter said in a deep voice, "She found my ancestor, the best blacksmith in the Boren Kingdom at that time.
She used the blessings of the stars, and the dress made of starry silver leaves as raw materials to create a sword—
That is, the Star Killing Sword. ”
The young hunter's eyes fell into memories, his lips moved slightly and continued:
"Integrate the stars in the sky into the sword edge, and use the pure heart, the virtues and wishes of all living beings to gather the sword lights of the Star Killing Sword. She transformed those blessings into a sword, a force used to save the world.
And the power of this sword is destined not to be used for selfish desires.
Because only by having love and compassion in the heart, and communicating with a selfless heart, can we truly use it... a sword of bravery. ”
When the young hunter said this, the Star Killing Sword in Lake's hand seemed to understand his story.
As if he was saying hello, a trace of starlight flashed on the sword body and quickly became silent.
"When I was a child, after hearing the story of Xingkilling Sword, I always had a dream."
The young hunter looked in front of him, and the sword edge that seemed to be a layer of light mist was emitting. The sadness on his face gradually faded away and he chuckled, "In my dream, I used my hunting rifle to shine in the battle with the giants.
In Boren's palace, I got the Star Killing Sword and killed the giants who invaded the royal city one by one. After that, the king rewarded me and married the princess to me...
At that time, I really thought that I was the destined brave man. ”
The young hunter smiled and said, but at some point his eyes had turned red and swollen, and a wisp of crystal tears flowed down.
"But now, I realize that dreams are dreams after all - I am too far from you."
When the young hunter said this, he sighed long, "My pursuit of fame has surpassed my reason and made irreversible mistakes.
At the moment my eyes were blinded, I was no longer qualified to touch the Star Killing Sword. ”
When the young man said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Lake and calmed down:
"Thank you for fulfilling my wishes and... using it well, the stars in the sky are flashing for every sword you waved."
After saying that, the young hunter gave a slight salute, refused Lake's intention to help, held a branch and limped away.
Looking at the young man's figure and disappearing into the woods, the star-killing sword in Lake's hand dissipated.
The glimmer of light just now seemed to be greeting a descendant of an old friend.
"Is the origin of the Star Killing Sword?"
"Good intention, compassion, protection, virtue..."
Lake's hand holding the hilt trembled slightly, and she felt the sword in her hand become a little heavy again.
"Let's go, Poluo, it's time for us to leave here too."
Lake put his sword into the sheath and walked towards the carriage.
"Yeah..."
Poluo also nodded, and he looked at the young hunter's disappearing back, with some thought in his eyes.
He seemed to think of something, but he was a little hazy.
...
Above the clouds, on the edge of the floating island.
There are still some plants around the Giant Castle, the dead angel's dead corpse, and the eyeball monster strangled by the cloud and mist magic of the Giant King, are horizontally placed on the ground.
Although the gates to the fallen heaven have closed, the remaining remains of death have not completely dissipated.
At the edge, a pool of black flesh and blood skeletons suddenly squirmed.
Among them, a golden egg was exposed, and a crack appeared on the surface of the egg, and some golden substances gushed out from it.
The pool of flesh and blood, absorbed the energy in it, began to grow rapidly and turn into a human form.
It swallowed the corpse of the angel on the ground, and its body gradually grew bigger and expanded, becoming a rotten giant who was neither human nor ghost.
"Ho...ho..."
The resurrected strong man stood up and walked towards the edge of the floating island.
In his mind, he was mixed with a sense of hatred and frenzy, and gradually returned, and all he perceived were physical weakness and fear.
"I am...the king chosen by God, I cannot die..."
The strong man staggered to the edge of the floating island, looking at the sea of clouds below, a vine extended from the ground and rested on the ground.
"I just need to leave here first, and I can take back everything that belongs to me in other places! As long as, leave first..."
As he spoke, his enlarged body grabbed the vine and slowly headed downward.
He had no time to think that most of the floating islands had disappeared. How could there be vines on the floating island where the castle was located?
Chaos and madness have occupied his thinking space.
Grasping the vine and going down step by step, his swelling body, which was twisted and corroded, went down step by step.
"Leaving here... I carry the power given by God, and I am destined to be the endorsement of this world..."
The strong man said this until... he saw below, on the ground far away.
A boy who looked familiar was standing at the root of the vine.
He held an axe in his hand—the one that the strong man lost.
"Little kid, what are you going to do?!"
The strong man wanted to roar and threaten, but before the distortion had recovered, his mouth was just a vague howl like a beast.
And below, the boy didn't say a word.
He just waved his axe and chopped it on the rhizome of the vine—
"Click!"
The axe blade splits the vines, and the debris that were cut off from the vines turned into a shattered cloud.
The whole vine trembled in an instant, and the strong man on the vine also shook.
At this level, those strong men who do not belong to their extraordinary power have not been retrieved. If they fall, they will be afraid that they will have no chance to survive.
"Stop——Little Devil!"
"Don't move, otherwise you will be dead when I go on!"
"I will kill everyone you know, every one!"
The strong man roared, but the boy's movements did not stop. The sharp axe chopped on the root of the vine again and again, and the huge vine began to slowly collapse and fall.
"Click!"
"Click!"
Until this moment, the only reason in the strong man's mind began to return in panic.
In his mouth, he began to beg like a silly:
"Wait, stop, we can talk—"
"You can't do this!"
But the boy's axe was wielding faster and faster. In the gap where the vine was cut, clouds evaporated, and it could no longer stand on the ground.
Finally, while the last trace of connection was cut off. The entire vine that was several thousand meters high fell down instantly and fell to the ground, and the strong man who was hanging in the sky, the vines began to collapse in mid-air and turned into an incapable cloud.
"Bang!"
The strong man's body fell to the ground.
The height of hundreds of meters made him instantly slapped into a piece of rotten and unsmelling meat paste!
The boy Jack walked forward, his arms trembling.
It may be because of the energy consumed by using the axe, or it may be because of some emotions he does not understand.
"Ba——"
Jack threw the axe before the strong man formed mud.
The flesh and blood tissue melted and turned into a thick black juice, like the truly useless and difficult-to-remove remains and spots left by the death of the world.
Now, it shows no sign of being alive.
"How is your mood? This is revenge. I thought for a long time before I understood this feeling of human beings--"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The mist rose from Jack's feet, covering his view.
When it dissipated again, Jack had already stood on the floating island again. In the clouds in front of him, the huge figure loomed in the shadows, leaned down and whispered to him.
"I... don't know."
Jack whispered, and he raised his head again, looking at the hazy face behind the clouds, "But, thank you, Mr. Giant."
"No need to thank me, but I want to say...I'm sorry.
I don't know that the power I give will cause such a thing to happen-
However, even if I knew it at the time, the results might not have changed much.
The legend says it is very right. I have done many such things, but I have never prayed for forgiveness by humans. Only by seeing some tragedy with my own eyes can I be touched...
Maybe my heart is really as hard as a stone, right? ”
The King of Giants said, as if he had a self-deprecating voice, and continued to say to Jack, "I will give you the power of Giant that many people hope for, and this is to be compensated.
I can also send you away. After that, if you hate me, I will allow you to seek revenge on me..."
"No need."
But the boy Jack shook his head.
"What?"
The King of Giants was stunned for a moment.
"No need, I don't want to have such strength. I don't want to kill with such strength like that robber. I don't want to be that person. Moreover, I don't hate you so much now, Mr. Giant."
Jack said as he placed one hand between his eyebrows and pinched out a red light.
On it, the blood-colored runes symbolizing the giant's voter were captured by him and thrown back to the giant king, "I feel that there is no murderous intention in this silk of power.
What really killed my mother was the evil in the heart of the evil man, not purely from your power. ”
After saying this, Jack turned his head and left, and after walking towards the castle, the somewhat old orphanage walked in.
"But if you reject the strength I give you..."
"You allow me to stay here, have you forgotten? Mr. Giant, you said I can stay until I want to leave."
The giant king's voice stopped, he was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.
Just like when I first saw a child appearing in the garden many years ago.
"I almost forgot that the children like the garden very much. The clouds and mist are still permeating. My garden will grow again... It's true that I have changed a lot.
At least, it's not that lonely anymore. ”
The giant king looked into the distance, and the clouds were blown by the long wind, precipitating on the edge of the floating island, forming the ground and extending further away.
The buds of plants break out of the ground.
...
The carriage crushed the dead grass on the ground, and the dead energy spread.
In front of me is a withered forest, with fallen leaves on the ground. As you can see, it is a withering and bleak area, without birds or insects.
The sunset in the distance sprinkles the dim light.
The shadows became stronger and stronger in the dead forest.
"Is this the forest displayed on the magic mirror?"
Lake and Polo hesitated slightly, then waved their whip and continued to walk forward. Above Lake's head, the hovering golden bird also flew back gently and landed in the carriage.
"I can't see anything in the sky, or, from the above, there seems to be nothing abnormal in this forest."
The golden bird hesitated and said, "I didn't see any buildings. As for other abnormalities, I didn't find anything more specific, but I just felt something wrong...
I dared not approach the forest, but I could feel that there was indeed some kind of threat there.
It should be what you are talking about. ”
"I understand, Miss Bird, you have to rest first. Let's go together. Poluo and I have been to many forest mazes, and it should be cracked soon."
Lake smiled, and the golden bird jumped down, flapped its wings and arrived at the carriage, then stood beside Poluo, took out a few pine nuts from the bag on his chest, and began to slowly peck at the food.
As she ate, she looked up at Poluo on the side and pushed out a pine nut with the tip of her claws.
"Don't you eat? I saw that you didn't seem to bring food."
"Uh, it's not that I didn't bring it, but... well, I can make food out of thin air."
Poluo looked up at the golden black bird that was jumping over, thought for a while, spread out his claws, and a magic light lit up from his palm, condensing to form.
The light formed a piece of cake, which was also a delicacy recorded from the Fengrao Plain.
The jam, cream and some dishes on it are extremely exquisite, exuding a fresh and sweet atmosphere.
"Hey, like this, you can think of it as a kind of magic."
Poluo thought for a while and pushed the cake towards the golden bird, "Do you want to eat it? I'll treat this cake as a treat."
"Huh?"
The golden bird stared at the cake created out of thin air in front of him, and the pine nuts in his mouth fell off.
"Really?!"
She looked at the cake and put her eyes on the cake, as if she wanted to verify the authenticity, but he didn't see anything wrong.
"Then I'm not polite?"
She asked carefully, Poluo smiled, waved his hand again, and a plate of grilled steak appeared next to her, flashing with the light—
All kinds of beverages, wines and dishes appeared from the light, making the golden bird stunned.
"You... do have nothing to do with heaven? The magic of the giant king cannot do this, right?"
"It doesn't matter, but so, have you been to heaven?"
Poluo asked.
"Yes, I've been there, but my memory has become blurred. I can't remember what's there, the details, and the series of things that fall from heaven.
Or maybe it was because of those that made me survive from heaven. ”
The golden bird responded and began to peck at the cake in front of him.
Her eyes lit up slightly. Obviously, the taste of this palace cake made the bird who hadn't eaten such a delicious food for a long time feel salivation.
"Puluo, it's a bit early today... And will it attract anything in the forest?"
Lake smelled the food, and crawled over, picked up a piece of snack in a slight way, and ate it in small bites.
"It's okay, just treat it as entertaining new friends."
Poluo smiled and started to eat a piece of pork chop next to him with a knife and fork. Since he mastered the [Dessert Feast], he has never hunted or something again.
After all, if there is such a chef-level food in the palace, how can you still make it yourself?
"By the way, Lake, do you want to listen to a story while eating?"
While eating, Poluo suddenly spoke.
"Stories? Of course, I like to listen to stories!"
Lake's eyes lit up, cross-legged, wrapped the food in his mouth, and his eyes lit up, "What's about this time?"
"It's about Star Killing Sword, and... the previous young hunter."
Poluo put his eyes on the Star Killing Sword around Lake's waist, and after a little thought, he continued, "The name of this story is...a hunter with superb skills.
Once upon a time, there was a capable young man who learned his father's locksmith's skills and wanted to see the world outside..."
//Grimm's fairy tale·Excellent hunter
Yesterday there was a problem with the computer. I saw that the sky had just fixed it, so I asked for a day off on Friday. Sorry, brothers, I am a lazy dog. I originally wanted to make it up, but I was stuck. I'm sorry, I'm guilty. TAT
