Chapter 460: The Elven Swordsinger and the 7-Day Prophecy (2 in 1)
In the end, Bai Xiaowen shook his head and handed the "Scepter of the Sun God" to another waiting apprentice.
The apprentice puts a white note on the book, signifying that it has been read and is worthless.
This book is a completely fabricated story. It actually said that the son of the sun god finally threw the divine bow into the river Styx... But in the picture recorded by Bai Xiaowen, the divine bow is clearly in the valley cathedral behind a long corridor.
Then Bai Xiaowen picked up the second book and started to read it. Within a few minutes, the book was posted with a white note again.
And then the third, the fourth...
The seventh book, The Song of Vallore, was marked with a red note and placed alone.
In Bai Xiaowen's reading, I found that the records in this book are still very similar.
Van Lore is a child of a small nobleman with a kind personality and a willingness to help others. By chance, he joined a well-known sect at that time——the Sun God Sect, because the purpose of this sect was to radiate light and heat like the sun, illuminating all things, and finally formed "I am everyone, everyone is mine" friendly world.
The Sun God Sect is not purely a sect of abusing good people. Its teachings also have a cruel side, that is, they hate darkness and despise selfishness. The believers must purify all "selfish people who have fallen into darkness and evil" with the light bestowed by the Sun God.
In the book, it is mentioned that the Sun God Sect has a "place of inheritance", and the most devout believers can enter the inheritance place, and under the guidance of the priest, they can get the favor and blessing of the sun god Apollo. ..
Bai Xiaowen didn't care about the series of love and hatred of Fanloer. He just saw that Fanloer passed the test of the dark road, entered the land of inheritance, and got Apollo's whispering bow.
What matches the confirmed picture is the "Dark Road". It is also reasonable to regard the valley in the picture as a place of inheritance, and the church in the picture as a building of the Helios Religion—so, Bai Xiaowen left this book.
This does not mean that Bai Xiaowen is completely convinced of this book. He still has to refer to other legendary books and documents about Apollo's Whispering Hallows, and make a prediction after careful consideration.
After all, these seven prophecies are related to the final quality of his "Bracelet of Doom".
Bai Xiaowen continued to open the eighth book. He was flipping through faster and faster, which surprised the apprentices watching curiously.
With such a reading speed, it is difficult to even browse through it, right? really useful? the apprentices around,
Most of them hold this idea.
What they didn't know was that the reading speed of Bai Xiaowen's super brain couldn't be compared with normal theory. If these books were not in Latin but in Chinese, Bai Xiaowen's native language, his reading speed would be doubled.
After entering the world of the plane, the Latin language ability exchanged for 00 power points is different from the original mother tongue after all. Although it is not obvious in normal communication, this difference is obvious when reading a lot. It's more obvious.
Even so, before the sun went down, he still browsed through all the more than thirty books stacked on his desk.
In addition to the seventh book, two other books were marked with red bars and placed separately.
At dusk, the bell to close the city gate rang, and Queen Camelot came to the Royal Library and invited Bai Xiaowen to dinner.
During the banquet, Queen Camelot inevitably asked about the progress of the prophecy.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, within seven days, I will definitely predict the whereabouts of the Seven Sacred Artifacts." Bai Xiaowen issued a military order. In fact, the deadline for his mission "Mission of the Prophet" expired during his stay. Exactly seven days.
For Bai Xiaowen, this guarantee is dispensable.
But for Queen Camelot, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, if you have any needs, you can explain them to me, and I will try my best to complete them."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "There is nothing else, but my sister likes fencing. Can Her Majesty help her find a famous teacher and give her some advice?"
Queen Camelot's request to Bai Xiaowen is not surprising. In the battle of the hidden shadow maze, Li Shuyi's fighting power is still fresh in her memory. She said cheerfully, "No problem. Although our Kingdom of Camelot is known as a land of mages, we still have master fencing masters."
The queen gave an order to the waiter at the side, and the waiter quickly left. After a while, a tall beauty in soft armor walked in.
This beauty has leaf-green hair and a pair of pointed ears, from which one can get a glimpse of her identity as an elf.
Through insight, Bai Xiaowen saw that the female elf's name was Oona, she was a level 8 leader, and her occupation was "Sword Singer".
The Queen of Camelot introduced the names of both parties, and then said: "Oona is the most outstanding swordsman in the Kingdom of Camelot, and also the royal family's swordsmanship instructor. Her swordsmanship is completely different from the swordsmanship routines of those reckless warriors. The beauty. Oona, can you show Dior Prophet your unique skills?"
Oona, the female elf swordsinger, had a hint of arrogance in her demeanor, but at least she was facing a prophet certified by the queen, so she still had basic respect.
"Following your orders, Her Majesty."
Oona also had a pair of rapiers at her waist. She first drew out one of them and put it between her eyebrows, posing a simple swordsman etiquette, and then began the "performance".
Stride and stab, retract the sword and stab again, a set of movements is smooth and flowing.
Bai Xiaowen squinted and talked with Li Shuyi in the team channel.
"Your talent for swordsmanship is higher than mine, do you see any tricks?"
Li Shuyi shook her head slightly, and replied through the team channel: "I can only see that she retracts her sword very fast, so the opening is relatively small, but this should be an advantage brought by her high agility, not a good swordsmanship."
Oona saw Li Shuyi shaking her head slightly.
Oona frowned slightly, and when she practiced her sword skills again, her wrist trembled slightly, and suddenly the tip of the rapier trembled rapidly, shaking out a cluster of sword flowers, the tip of the sword looked like a raised poisonous snake's head, waiting for an opportunity ready to go.
Li Shuyi's eyes widened slightly, and there was a look of surprise on her small face. She said through the team channel: "This move is more powerful. The point of the sword points to the opponent's vital points, making it difficult for the opponent to dodge, and at the same time it is relatively easy. Make a vital attack."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes: "Don't express your opinion yet."
Although Bai Xiaowen also thinks that Oona's hand is very powerful, he doesn't think that this is Oona's understated ability - Oona wears two swords, but only performs with one-handed swordsmanship, which is obviously a fool.
This time, it was Bai Xiaowen's turn to shake his head, and a dissatisfied expression appeared on his face just right.
Oona, the female elf who had been watching the two siblings carefully, felt even more suffocated in her heart. She drew out another stabbing sword with her backhand, and the two swords crossed lightly.
Queen Camelot showed an excited look: "Instructor Oona's sword chant stunt is about to appear."
With a voiceless sound, Oona shook her hand and threw a sword.
The thin sword with the calyx hollowed out spun in the air and flew into Oona's hand again. Using the rapier as a whirling blade itself represents a brilliant technique of exerting force.
However, this was just the beginning. While catching the flying rapier, Oona immediately threw a second sword, this time even stronger. When the rapier returned, it actually stabbed twice in the air, as if a Invisible hands manipulate it.
Then there was the third sword throw, and the rapier stabbed three times in the air.
Even Bai Xiaowen saw the power. At the same time that Oona threw the rapier, she also held the other sword in her hand, and continued to stab with strides, as if there was an invisible enemy in front of her. And most importantly, when the thrown rapier returns, it is also attacking the enemy's vest.
"Isn't this... the flying sword?"
Bai Xiaowen was a little shocked. In the ancient Chinese fairy tales of cultivation, those sword celestials who walk around the world with their swords all have the unique skill of flying swords, and they can take people's heads thousands of miles away. Oona's sword chanting is actually a bit similar to the flying sword technique, with some kind of fantasy meaning.
In the plane of the awakener level, it is of course worthy of admiration to have such a stunt - in Bai Xiaowen's existing cognition, the swordsman plane will not appear until at least the level of the evolutionary.
Of course, Oona's sword chant should be very different from the real flying sword. Although Bai Xiaowen has never been to the Xianxia plane, he also knows that the two cannot be equated just by taking it for granted.
After Oona's performance, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi applauded at the same time.
On Oona's face, the smug smile flashed away, and then she returned to her cold posture.
"How about it, isn't Oona's sword skills eye-opening?" Queen Camelot said with a smile, "It will be no problem for her to teach Miss Charlotte."
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Of course it will be great if you can learn the unique skill of sword chanting."
Oona shook her head: "Prophet Dior, sword singing is a unique skill of the elves, and it is impossible for humans to learn it."
In fact, Bai Xiaowen didn't want Li Shuyi to spend all his energy on learning sword chant. This kind of swordsmanship is fancy, but how meaningful is it in actual combat? It is really open to discussion. In Bai Xiaowen's opinion, this kind of swordsmanship is more suitable for performance.
The swordsmanship like Yahan's that controls the rhythm of the battle, coordinates the swordsmanship with the pace, and gains an advantage step by step is really easy to use.
It's a pity that Yahan has important things to do, and he is good at two-handed epee, which is different from Li Shuyi's two-sword routine, so there is no way to learn it.
Bai Xiaowen took a step back and said, "Since it's the secret skill of the elves, it's not easy for us to ask for advice. However, can you teach Charlotte the sword-shaking sword technique that Instructor Oona performed before?"
"Shaking the sword?" Oona thought for a while, then suddenly said, "You are talking about the technique of shaking the wrist, right? Many powerful swordsmen have this skill, and I can teach it. However, whether you can learn it or not depends on your talent." of."
"What if I learn it within seven days?" Bai Xiaowen asked again.
"Why within seven days?" Queen Camelot was a little puzzled.
"Well, the prophecy slate has guided me. After making the prophecy of the Seven Hallows, there are other things to do, so I can only stay here for seven days," Bai Xiaowen said, "As part of the prophecy, Charlotte Come with me too."
This is the advantage of being a prophet. You can talk about it casually, and people in the spirit world will not doubt it.
"It's a pity. I wanted to keep you in Camelot for a while." The queen was a little regretful.
Oona, the swordsmanship instructor on the side, frowned and said, "Seven days is too short. I don't think she can learn anything." She pointed to Li Shuyi.
"Charlotte's talent for swordsmanship is very high," Bai Xiaowen said.
Oona was still frowning, maybe because of the Prophet's face, she reluctantly said: "Let her demonstrate it."
Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen looked at each other, stood up, and drew out their swords: "Ms. Oona please give me some advice."
"Wait a minute." Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and summoned the Shadow Assassin, "Charlotte's swordsmanship is more inclined to fight, and it can exert stronger power when fighting the enemy."
Oona looked a little disbelieving.
However, after the battle between Li Shuyi and the Shadow Assassin started, her expression gradually changed, showing a trace of caution in the original contempt.
Of course, Li Shuyi was fighting against the Shadow Assassin. When Bai Xiaowen was manipulating it, she deliberately let Li Shuyi show off her strengths. The first few strikes basically made the Shadow Assassin neither dodge nor dodge, helping Li Shuyi to quickly superimpose the passive state.
After 0 effective attacks, the dual passives on Li Shuyi's body have been maximized, and the double swords thrust out alternately, like a windmill, which is dizzying.
"Okay," Oona nodded, and took a careful look at Li Shuyi, "You are a very talented swordsman, and you may be able to learn some essence of swordsmanship in just seven days."
Li Shuyi quickly thanked her.
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, and put away the scarred Shadow Assassin. Now Li Shuyi's output ability is extremely strong, this duel almost killed the Shadow Assassin, and it was still under the condition that the Shadow Assassin had 50% physical damage reduction.
In the next few days, Bai Xiaowen checked the information in the library, compared it with the blurred picture on the prophecy slate, and gradually ruled out the baseless legends. The truth of the Seven Sacred Artifacts gradually surfaced.
And Li Shuyi also worked hard to learn swordsmanship under the guidance of Instructor Oona. According to Li Shuyi, her proficiency in one-handed swordsmanship is increasing very fast, approaching level 7. Compared to Li Shuyi's personal level, such combat expertise is really rare.
On the seventh day, Bai Xiaowen finally made the prophecy of the Seven Sacred Artifacts—in the history of the Kuroshio Continent, this prophecy was called the "seven-day prophecy."
The content of the prophecy, of course, cannot appear in the scene on the slate picture, but Bai Xiaowen cleverly used other methods to replace it.
For example, "Apollo's Whispers" bow, Bai Xiaowen's prophecy is:
In the northwest of Kester City, under the cliff, find the cave. Raise your torch and light the way forward. Courage, kindness, hope, foresight... Pass the test of the inheritors and enter the final holy place. Beware, a traitor to the sun god awaits you.
