Chapter 1009 The city in the clouds in ancient times!
In fact, in the information submitted by Count Samir, it was mentioned that this long sword is an antique with great collection value and a long history.
It also describes in detail its material manufacturing process, some structural design ideas, etc.
But it was not mentioned that it came from the Winged Human Race.
At this time, Brand looked surprised.
Count Samir was also a little confused and said:
“Viscount Brand doesn’t know it is...”
Halfway through the words, he suddenly said:
“Oh, yes. Oh, it's my fault!
Because the auction was so intense that I was a little confused during the bidding process, and there were a lot of things I took out for valuation at once
Therefore, there is no time to explain each item in detail.
Because I was very satisfied with your final offer, I directly approved the mortgage price and thought that Viscount Brand knew its origin.
Now it seems that its appearance or design is more in line with Viscount Brand’s wishes? ”
Looking at the golden decorations of the sheathed sword in his hand shining brightly under the light, the bright silver wings-like sword grid is lifelike.
Brand also nodded calmly. Road:
"Count Samir is absolutely right.
It is indeed in line with my heart.
But I did not expect that it would be the inheritance of the Winged Human Race.
If I had known it in advance, I might have given a higher price!
Of course, the matter has been settled now
Mr. Samir regretted it too late. "
Listen to what Brand said.
Samir couldn't help but joked:
"I don't regret it, but there may be many more in the antique collection room at home. Something that could interest Viscount Brand.
There are not a few that are as exquisite as this Winged Man sword. Maybe I still have a lot of opportunities to recover the losses? ”
Hearing this, Brand also smiled and said:
"Then let me see it first and then talk about it!"
Samir took advantage of the opportunity and invited:
" I wonder if Viscount Brand has been free recently. Would you like to visit our Cockburn Territory again?
Last time, Viscount Brand was at the Mage Academy and went to Cockburn Territory to accept the task of the Judgment Department. Investigate ordnance theft
Because the border issue was a little troublesome, I didn't even have time to entertain them properly.
I even heard later from Williams that you were on the trip. ”
Talking about the past.
Brand also briefly fell into memories.
But in the end, considering that he didn’t want to make a special trip, he still shook his head. He shook his head and said:
"Although I can't wait to see the Coburn family's collection.
But our morning flower collar affairs are a little busy, and I haven't been able to get away for a long time recently.
So I can only live up to Count Samir’s kindness.”
After the invitation was declined, Samir also felt a little regretful.
He thought Brand really liked all kinds of exquisite collectibles, and this time he could make a fortune and relieve the family's tight cash flow.
But now it seems that in the past, most of the talk was in the scene.
——Even if Brand really likes all kinds of flashy collectibles, the extent of his liking should be very limited.
Of course, he did not give up directly.
At this point in time, due to the continuous experience of the pioneering war and the construction of the northern border.
Most nobles in the empire are short of cash flow, and the Cockburn family is no exception.
Although the [Tidal Mud] in the north some time ago made some families in the empire make a lot of money.
But because the Coburn family was a little slow to respond, it was a little late to place an order with the imperial mages and make a container for tidal mud.
In the end, I only caught up with the tail end of the trend.
It would certainly be a good thing if some of the family's gaudy collections could alleviate financial difficulties.
——He would give it a try whenever he had the chance!
Thinking of this, Samir also suggested again:
"In a few days, I will go back to Cockburn Territory to arrange things. At that time, I may be able to use an empty screen to show Viscount Brand our The family's collection?
If there happens to be something that Viscount Brand is interested in,
at the Morning Flower Port Investment Promotion Meeting in a month. br>
Maybe I can take it directly to Viscount Brand to have a look? "
Hearing such an idea, Brand certainly did not refuse, nodded and said:
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Samir.
In addition, I was a little curious after hearing Mr. Samir talk about the winged race.
Can you tell me more about it?
As far as I know, they are taller and more beautiful than us humans, and they also have a pair of pure white wings.
But it seems that it became extinct in the Farnes Continent a long time ago? "
Speaking of the Winged Man, Samir also nodded and said:
"Yes, it is indeed the case.
Our ancestors of the Coburn family started out as adventurers.
I have explored many ruins and collected many historical books.
So we happen to have some understanding of the Yiren race.
As far as I know, after a period that we generally call the "Ancient Era", they gradually entered a stage of decline.
And wait until they disappear completely.
It was almost the time when the 'Demon War' broke out. ”
Hearing such a thing, Brand was a little confused and said:
"Mr. Samir wants to say:
The Winged Man is related to the devil?"
Samir shook his head. He shook his head and said:
“I’m not sure about this.
Although there is some coincidence in the timing of the two, there is no evidence that they are related to each other. "
After a brief response, Samir told a secret with a mysterious face:
"I think Mr. Brand should have some basic information about the winged people.
But there is one thing you may not be aware of.
In fact, during the last war between our continent and the undead.
The artifacts jointly developed by all races - [Sword of Heaven] and [Sword of Alliance]!
Its main appearance was designed by the dwarves, and its name was also named after the dwarves.
The reason why the dwarves chose this name actually refers to the legend of the winged people in ancient times.
Based on the information recorded in ancient books that our Coburn family obtained from some ruins.
In ancient times, when the Winged Human Race was at its peak of glory, they used special materials and methods to build a [city in the clouds]!
The winged humans living in this city in the clouds are also like messengers from the sky.
Always dispel the haze and bring warmth and light to the earth.
That’s why the honorific title of angel comes from!
Because the representative method of the undead [Canopy of the Undead] always covers the sky and plunges the earth into eternal night.
So the dwarves hope that the [Sword of Heaven] can be like the angels and the temple in the clouds, dispelling the darkness and haze brought by the undead! ”
After learning such a secret, Brand couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Unconsciously, my mind began to imagine the scenes corresponding to the words.
But when it comes to [City in the Clouds], Brand still has some doubts:
"The Winged Human Race in ancient times had a city in the sky?
Mr. Samir really Aren't you kidding?
Even in the current Farnes continent, only elves have a floating island! "
Seemingly satisfied with Brand's reaction, Samir explained unhurriedly and with a smile:
"I know this is a bit unimaginable.
After all, times are always moving forward, and many things in the past are difficult to compare with today.
But it cannot be denied that due to the monopoly and confidentiality of knowledge and technology, as well as racial inheritance, it has been continuously lost in the long years of changes.
There must have been some things in the past that we are all amazed by now, but they were buried in the long river of time!
The Winged People were the rulers of the sky in ancient times.
They must have a very unique set of inherited knowledge in the field of flight or the sky.
They may not be more powerful than we are now.
But in my opinion, it is not impossible to have a city flying in the sky! ”
