Chapter 1025 The Sword of Soul Sacrifice

Sword of Snartmore.

Passi had seen the cover of the document plan on Frost Gattuso's papers. There were two large seals side by side on it. One was a red and scaly 'S', which came from the Secret Party. The seal, and the other is a red auspicious cloud, which is the heraldry stamped by the orthodox "dragon seal". The content inside is a highly confidential matter that the school board of directors and the orthodox have reached a consensus on. Those who have the authority to read it are allowed to read it. There are no more than two hands in this world.

Of course, Patsy did not have the authority to read the document, but by chance, he learned some details in the confidential document through Frost Gattuso.

As far as he knew, the "Snartmo Sword Project" was tied to another project called the "Nibelungen Project". Both projects were the "Seven Deadly Sins Finale" under the waters of the Yangtze River. , AKA, the project was established when the taboo of "Bronze Purgatory" was salvaged.

The specific content of the "Nibelung Plan" is probably to use the fusion of alchemical technology and modern advances in human anatomy and physiology, and use the "living" Dragon King in the Bronze Purgatory as a medium to conduct experiments on refining the blood of hybrids.

In the philosophy of the dragon clan, devouring the blood and bones of the same kind helps to make up for the lack of one's own gene chain, thereby making an evolutionary leap towards a more perfect species. The Nibelungen Plan is based on this concept, using Dragon King-level active genes to make up for the possible genetic chain defects of the hybrid itself, thereby creating a "super hybrid" that only exists in the secret party's concept.

The Snartmo Sword Project is jointly bound with the Nibelungen Plan. It is a twin project jointly proposed by the orthodox "Tianji Pavilion" and the "Tiangong Ministry".

Before the Secret Party cooperated with the Secret Party to develop the Bronze Purgatory, the Secret Party had already conducted independent research on the Dragon King's Prison. However, because it was an early stage of contact, the research project was extremely conservative and only studied the seven deadly sins alchemical metals on the outer layer of the Bronze Purgatory. The shell can be used as a source of new materials to create new weapons against dragons.

Percy's understanding of the Snartmore Sword only went so far. He had seen the draft of the Snartmore Sword. It was probably because it was too difficult to create an excellent alchemical weapon from scratch, so he decided to learn from ancient and modern times. Select the appropriate "embryonic base" from famous swords, and then reprocess them with modern technology to forge the "dream sword".

At least that's how the original plan was described. Passy didn't have the opportunity to study the plan, and there was no need to study it, because it was a headache for the school board.

The interesting thing is that after the Bronze Project incident in the Yangtze River Basin, Norton was swallowed up by the cage of the Seven Deadly Sins. As the "heritage" of all mankind, both the Secret Party and the Orthodox have verbally agreed not to develop without authorization, but in fact this is a last resort. And for that matter.

The Bronze Purgatory is buried in Baidi City, which is an orthodox place. Even if a meteorite falls into other people's borders, if you have a thousand high-sounding reasons to reach out, they will kill you. I'll chop off my claws, and I'll come back to you to hold you accountable, but you still stand out like that.

This has resulted in the secret party always being in an awkward position in the development of Bronze Purgatory. As for sending divers to study it, orthodoxy will not stop it, but various equipment cannot work properly in the harsh environment of hundreds of meters of water. Expand, coupled with the special nature of the Bronze Purgatory, the divers can't research anything. If you want to send the entire research team, orthodox people have to ask you, what are your intentions in our country with so many secret party elites stationed there? ?

Being stuck in the neck made me want to vomit. This was the feeling of all the school directors of Secret Party during that time. Orthodoxy said that they would never rush to develop Bronze Purgatory, but in fact you didn’t know whether they developed it or not. In the end, Secret Party felt really uncomfortable. When it didn't work out, he applied to sign a mutual cooperation agreement with Zhengtong in Kuimen. Taking advantage of the situation, the other party asked the vice principal to go to Zhengtong to exchange technology.

Then everything that is known happened next. The "Nibelungen Plan" based on the Bronze Purgatory was officially announced. "Sword Plan", and even provided half-finished imitations of the Seven Deadly Sins as a sign of sincerity to the secret party for armed testing.

The Secret Party members who shook hands with the orthodox Minister of Heavenly Works with imitations of the Seven Deadly Sins were all smiles. They said they did not develop it privately, but now they have half-finished products. Who knows if the Secret Party retreats later, what will these guys do? Isn't it necessary to secretly conduct an "open coffin autopsy" for His Highness Norton? Judging from the needs of those at the orthodox high-level table, once the deadline is approaching, they might actually do this.

Whether it is the "Nibelung Plan" or the "Snartmo Sword", they have only one original intention, and that is to create a truly super-standard combat power.

The Battle of Constantine and the Bronze Project have informed the world that technology is indeed effective against dragons, but on the current battlefield, human technology is not yet enough to play a decisive role. What really matters is the person who uses the weapon, that is, , a super hybrid.

There are actually voices in the orthodox circles that ask whether the plan to create a super hybrid is advocating individual heroism? Later, in response to this objection, after discussions between the two parties, we came to the conclusion that individual heroism is not advocated on the battlefield at any time, but in fact individual heroism and teamism are often combined with each other, and the former cannot be completely separated from the latter. By.

At first glance, the "Nibelungen Plan" and the "Snartmo Sword Plan" are about creating a "hero", but in the final analysis, they also consume a lot of energy and scientific research funds from the secret party and orthodoxy, and abandon the past suspicions to create a "hero". The "hero" can be regarded as the product of teamwork.

Therefore, the Nibelungen Plan and the Sword of Snartmo may become mass production plans in the future, but for now, resources and time are only enough to create a "hero". The final candidate for this "hero" must be the orthodox and secret. A candidate recognized by the party must not only bear the responsibility of "personal heroism", but also tend to be team-oriented leadership and command, so loyalty is the top priority.

There are many names on the candidate lists for these two plans, from the secret party to the orthodox, and there are even some hybrids who are wandering around the border outside the two to be investigated. But no matter who the final candidate is, Passy dares to Surely, the blond girl holding Snatmo's Sword now was definitely not on that list.

The blond girl took out the dreamy sword from the light. The rusty arc of the sword was as long and graceful as the shadow of the moon. The partially tempered blade pattern on the sword had long been eroded by time. The terrifying length of the sword was three feet and nine inches. It looks so abrupt and out of the ordinary when held in the hand, reminding people of the "Sanshakuno Dachi" described in "The History of Japanese Swords".

The characteristic of Sanshou Nodachi is that it is extremely long and extremely difficult to swing. The obvious bend in the middle of the blade is a curvature that is conducive to cutting objects. However, if used by someone with great strength and skill, it can break 27 straw mats with one blow. The fracture is as smooth as a mirror.

The biggest difference between the three-foot-nine-inch huan-shou sword in the hands of the blonde girl and the nodachi is that its arc is very small, almost no arc, and it goes straight. At the same time, the overall thickness of the huan-shou sword is eroded by rust. With its engraved appearance, it looks more like an elongated "blade" than a sword. There is no guard, and the rust-covered blade is integrated into the ring.

"Do you know the meaning of Snartmore's Sword?" The blonde girl gently plucked her hair at the roots. A bunch of golden hair was cut off, passed through the sword ring and held in her hand to prevent it from falling out.

The black shadow watched silently as the blonde girl twisted her wrist and gently turned the three-foot-nine-inch ring-headed sword. The blade rotated in a circle in the light beam and made a soft whine. It seemed to be an illusion. When the blade cuts through the light, there is an obvious "break", as if the light is really cut off.

"During the Iron Age, in Scandinavia, a group of Navians were invaded by ambitious neighboring countries and once fell into a crisis of destruction. They suffered repeated defeats, and the women nursed their babies at home. The men rushed to the battlefield with iron weapons in hand, and in the end they only received half-broken pieces of iron. Their weapons were not as elite as the soldiers from neighboring countries." The blonde girl tilted her head and said with a smile,

"Human beings began to stand on the stage of history by controlling tools. Primitive people used bone weapons to defeat the beasts of the jungle. They began to believe that the more ferocious the beasts, the harder the bones they peeled off, so they began to look for something more powerful. Robust prey. In recent times, people in the Stone Age also believed that the sharper the edges of the stones tied to the tips of the sticks, the stronger they would be. They competed to polish the edges of the stones. This belief led to the development of a modern profession among them. The prototype of the blacksmith."

"In the Iron Age, high-quality iron tools represented the prosperity of a civilization. There is no doubt that the iron tools of the Navia people were of inferior quality, because when the enemy fought, their weapons would always be broken in one round, and they would hold broken pieces. They rushed to the battlefield and faced only death. However, there was always no shortage of battlefields in that era, whether it was Romans, warlords, or Christian settlements. Conflicts were everywhere, and battlefields were everywhere."

"So some people among the Navia people excitedly proposed reforms. But iron smelting is not something that can be broken through the technology tree by suddenly rising up. It's like advanced mathematics. If you don't know how to do it, you just can't do it. Even if you are so excited that you burst into tears, you still won't do it." The blonde girl looked at the black shadow and smiled, then tilted her head and continued,

"Someone once said that any sufficiently advanced technology was indistinguishable from magic. In a bygone era when the lines between technology and ritual were blurred, a blacksmith was something between a craftsman and a magician, possessing secrets , esoteric knowledge. The Navians discovered a technology in a desperate situation, or could it be a ritual? In short, this kind of thing successfully helped them create weapons that almost crushed the iron weapons of the same era, and they helped them all the way with their heads held high. They entered the Viking Age."

"They integrated the bones and blood of their blood relatives into the process of sword forging, and added some 'souls' as accelerants to create brand new weapons. They gave names to these weapons and treated them as blood relatives, Navi The Asian poetry collection "Poetic Edda" describes many swords with names. Those swords can talk, sing, and provide guidance to the sword-wielding warriors. Some of them can also bring misfortune to them." The blonde girl Said slowly.

"Inferior soul-sacrifice technology." Black Shadow commented indifferently, "I have no interest in the history of humans discovering living beings. So you want to use my blood to awaken the living beings in the alchemy sword in your hand?"

The blonde girl was talking to herself, holding the ring-headed long knife in front of her, and resting her wrist on the rusty blade. Under the cold gaze of the black shadow, the rusty blade wiped the white carpal artery with force, and a large amount of sticky blood suddenly poured onto the long blade, flowing like a blood spring into a red curtain and falling to the ground. .

"The Dragon Clan's perception of living creatures has always been that they are inferior slaves. The most common and mainstream way of using them is to inject them into dead objects for eternal slavery. However, the strange Navia people are different. They have always respected the soul. They never do that."

Looking down at the blood on her wrist, the blond girl holding the ring-headed sword smiled lightly and said, "They have always regarded themselves as living beings, grinding away their souls to sacrifice the sword."

She grasped the handle of the knife tightly, pinched the blade with her right hand and pulled it sharply. The blood instantly dyed the entire blade red. She stretched her hands along the extremely long blade, like a cross, which was sacred and evil in the beam of light.

Percy stared intently at the ring-headed long knife in the blonde girl's hand. The ancient alchemical sword gradually "awoke" and began to hear a weak heartbeat. Then a more terrifying scene happened. He held the handle of the knife and raised his head and closed his eyes. The fair and slender palms of the blonde girl started to "wither"!

The fresh little hands that were attached to the sword and were so white and tender that countless hand controllers could only dream of began to undergo a terrible "weathering" phenomenon. From the fingertips that came into contact with the ancient alchemy knife, they looked like tree trunks that had been burned to white ash, with large chunks of flesh and blood on the surface. The ground wrinkled, and eventually the old and pale pieces peeled off, revealing the stark white bones underneath! And the speed of this degeneration is even spreading along the wrist to the arm!

It was as if the curse suddenly became visible, and the sword was engulfing the person who awakened it.

"This taboo living spirit sacrificial technique has been banned even by the Council of Elders. Human beings can actually reproduce Ymir in history. You are really crazy to use it. You no longer care about this body." Is your body still alive?" Rarely, even the black shadow frowned at what the blonde girl had done, looking at the ominous sword with a little disgust and vigilance.

Sacrifice the sword with his soul. Passi immediately understood the profound meaning. According to alchemy and spiritualism, if a person abandons his soul, he will be rejected by the world, and his body will be destroyed by hundreds or thousands of The speed of this material world collapses and decomposes - the terrifying price of using this ring-headed sword is to gradually become a living spirit and give up the body of the material world.

This is a cursed sword. Every man who held this kind of sword in the original Navia people never thought about the home behind them when they went to the battlefield. They did not need to return to their hometown, they just wanted to What I want is that my hometown behind me will always exist.

No wonder the Nibelungen Plan was paired with the Sword of Snartmo. Personal heroism has the potential to get out of control, so when the secret party and orthodoxy select that "hero", they have already chosen a heroic ending for that "hero"!

When Percy discovered the secret of Snartmo's sword, what he didn't notice was that Mai Shutoku, not far away, was staring at the blond girl's wrist. She was more interested in the origin and secret of the ring sword than the origin and secret of the sword. What shocked her was the blood flowing from the blonde girl and the exposed bones.

This means that the blond girl is alive and appears as an entity in Yuanxu. The information about this explosion made her brain a little overloaded. All the secrets about the other party that the boss once told her were overturned at this moment. !

"Is this your plan to abrade the soul?" The shadow watched as the blond girl gradually understood something, "How despicable, you deserve the title of parasite that the 'Emperor' calls you."

"So what do you know?" the blonde girl whispered.

"Yes, I don't understand, and I don't need to understand." Black Shadow nodded, "I only know that you showed up here tonight to stop me, so only one of us can get out alive."

As she finished speaking, the knell tolled! There was a scream in the air, like eleven thousand gods of death roaring, and the mountain-like pressure collapsed from the black shadow. Feeling the great pressure and the threat of death, Percy and Shude Mai suddenly jumped back. They sensed that the upcoming battle was definitely not something they could interfere with! That is the battlefield between gods!

Mr. KFC in the distance was pressing the button in front of the elevator. He looked back from time to time to look at the situation here. But this time he turned around and saw the sickle of death spinning around the black shadow!

The huge area began to expand. With the black shadow as the center, the metal ground began to collapse. A large number of iron filings peeled off from the ground and flew into the air. They rotated at high speed around him and heated into a red molten iron color! The entire Yuan Ruins was trembling, and the expanding domain began to squeeze the rock wall of the dome. A large number of cracks began to spread. In the collapsed darkness, Long Wen, who was crooning softly, was like a graceful woman singing and dancing freely in the destruction of the world!

This scene is so similar to the scene at the South Railway Station! It was the word spirit that controlled the magnetic field. Thousands of iron filings that had been pulled away from the domain began to condense into the black shadow's right hand, forming a huge, red molten iron scythe!

Yan Ling·Heaven and earth are the furnace.

The identity of the black shadow can basically be determined - it is the "King of the Earth and Mountains" among the four monarchs that the secret party and the orthodox are afraid of and are looking for.
