Chapter 361
Des Empire, the third underground floor of the library.
Apart from the royal family of the empire, Chen Ping was the second outsider to enter. The last one was Barn, the leader of the Silver Wolf Knights and one of the four great sword masters.
The space here is relatively small, and the walls and the ground are all sealed with strong seals, and the whole space presents a depressing atmosphere.
The third underground floor contains some ancient books and items related to the origin of swordsmanship.
Among them is a stone tablet, which is said to be the sword tactics written by the four great sword masters of the first generation. The text on it flashes with strange light and exudes indescribable sword intent.
The stone tablet is placed on a stone platform surrounded by nine golden dragons, and there are many restrictions around it.
In addition, there are also some fragments of swords that are of great significance in the history of swordsmanship.
These fragments are placed in special containers, and each fragment contains powerful sword energy.
Chen Ping can hardly copy these items. For example, the stone tablet, what really works is the sword intent on it. If it can be comprehended, the swordsmanship may even reach the level of the sword master.
The sword rises and the stars shine, the cold light breaks the sky.
The shadow of the footsteps moves with the wind, and the sword heart is lonely.
There are methods for stabbing and picking, and the intention is hard to eliminate.
The sword energy condenses into frost and snow, and cuts the enemy like autumn hair.
Chen Ping looked at the sword tactics on the stone tablet, looking thoughtful.
Catherine next to him wanted to introduce it, but seeing Chen Ping like this, she retreated to the back and kept silent.
In a blink of an eye, a night passed, Chen Ping was like an old monk in meditation, motionless, and Catherine was a little bit overwhelmed. She didn't feel tired, but she felt exhausted under the pressure of the powerful sword intent in front of the stone tablet.
In the entire empire, except for the four great sword masters, perhaps only Catherine could persist in front of the stone tablet for so long, and now there is one more Chen Ping.
Catherine took a deep breath, and finally retreated slowly, returned to the underground second floor of the library, and waited for a few hours, left the library, and went to the palace of the Des Empire.
"Father, I'm back!" Catherine completely changed her face in front of Heinrich III, like an innocent princess who was ignorant of the world.
In fact, Heinrich III kept a close watch on all his princes and princesses. After all, he knew best how he came to power.
As for his third princess, he knew her well. He chose to turn a blind eye, hoping that Catherine could assist the crown prince in the future. In the entire empire, apart from the four great sword masters, only Catherine had the highest swordsmanship talent. With her assisting the crown prince in the future, even if he could not see the unification of the entire continent, his son would certainly be able to fulfill this ambition.
Therefore, Heinrich III was particularly fond of Catherine.
"Well, how is it going?"
"I have never dared to be careless about the things that my father has entrusted to me!" Catherine said seriously.
"It's just that... the library is an important place in the empire, especially the third floor. After all, Chen Ping is not from the Des Empire, and even has a very close relationship with the Principality of Mar. Let him enter the third underground floor..."
"I can see that he is not interested in this. As long as we give him enough benefits and keep him neutral, it will be convenient for future planning!" Heinrich III said in a deep voice.
"But he seems to be able to comprehend the sword intent of the Sword Saint Stele. If so..." Catherine was still a little worried.
"What? He can comprehend the sword intent?" Heinrich III stood up suddenly.
On the entire Bali Continent, there are only four sword saints who can comprehend the sword intent. Apart from them, even Catherine has only glimpsed the way, and is still a long way from comprehending.
"This... How is this possible!"
It was because Heinrich III was sure that Chen Ping could not comprehend the sword intent that he dared to instruct Catherine to take Chen Ping to the third floor. Now it seems that he still underestimated Chen Ping.
"No! We will never allow the next Sword Saint to be someone other than a member of the Des Empire!"
"But Father, he is in the process of comprehending, and it is difficult for us to interrupt him at this time. Moreover, if we offend him, it would be equivalent to going to war with the Principality of Mar, the Snow Tribe in the North, the Dark Elves in the South, and even the Celestial Empire at the same time. We simply cannot afford this price!" Catherine advised hurriedly.
After a while, Heinrich III calmed down and slowly sat back in his chair.
"Where is Barn? Have you found the other three Sword Saints?"
He looked at his confidant and asked in a deep voice.
"General Barn has found three Sword Saints and is returning to the Empire!"
"With the four Sword Saints in charge, even if Chen Ping comprehends the sword intent, he will not be able to stir up any waves. At most... take out those stones!"
...
In the third underground floor of the library in the Des Empire, Chen Ping slumped on the ground.
"I still overestimated myself. I am not good at practicing swordsmanship!"
Chen Ping sighed, but he did not leave the third underground floor.
In fact, with the blessing of the power of the beginning and the power of the stars, Chen Ping's swordsmanship is comparable to that of the sword saint. He also has magic ability and does not pursue swordsmanship to the extreme.
The main reason for choosing to stay is because of Xiao Hei.
The moment he felt the powerful sword intent, Xiao Hei entered the state of comprehension.
In order to deceive Catherine, Chen Ping pretended that he had begun to comprehend. If it were not for the power of the beginning and the power of the stars, he would not be able to resist the sword intent on the stone tablet.
After Catherine left, Chen Ping immediately showed his true form. If it were not for Xiao Hei, he would have left here long ago.
Time passed slowly, and it was not until the next night that Xiao Hei broke away from the state of enlightenment.
"How is it?" Chen Ping felt the change in Xiao Hei and asked quickly.
"It still feels a bit unreal, I may need to settle for a while!"
"Then let's get out of here first?"
"Yeah! I'm going to digest it!"
Afterwards, Chen Ping immediately walked to the second underground floor. After quickly rubbing all the ancient swordsmanship books on the second underground floor, he left the library directly.
As for the underground floor of the library, Chen Ping glanced around. They were all about very ordinary swordsmanship and the history of the Des Empire. Chen Ping was not interested at all.
After leaving the library, Chen Ping returned to his residence after learning that Heinrich III was resting.
"Master Chen, you are back!"
As soon as Chen Ping walked into his room, a black shadow flashed past.
"Why are you here?"
Before entering the house, Chen Ping felt Ye Ying's aura, and there was no surprise.
"The emperor of the Des Empire is cunning and cunning. Her Majesty the Queen is worried that Master Chen is being plotted, so she sent me here!" Ye Ying replied in a low voice.
"You weren't discovered by them?" Chen Ping was a little surprised. After all, this is the imperial capital of the Des Empire.
"Someone should have discovered me, but with Master Chen's relationship, they don't dare to take action!" Ye Ying smiled slightly.
Chen Ping: "..."
