Capítulo 523: Act 11 Territory (5) (2nd update, seeking Subscription and Monthly Ticket)_2

“But in reality, my ancestor was not only a servant to the Former King Eke but also one of the five attendants who brought the Lion Heart Sword from the Eagle Empire Kruz,” Bai Lu’s voice lowered, “However, many people are actually unaware of the true nature of the Lion Heart Sword. Most legends claim that the Lion Heart Sword is one of the four Holy Relics of Kruz. But even most Kruz people probably don’t know that those four Holy Relics were originally one entity.”

Brand’s eyes flashed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

“So what?” he asked.

“When those four Holy Relics are combined, their name is Odefis, that is, the Flame Scepter—commonly known as the Blade of Fire, the sword of the Flame King Gilte,” the old man said word by word: “The true Divine Artifact.”

Brand’s body suddenly shook, and for the first time, he stuttered a bit as he asked: “Master, could the resonance between the Sage Stone Tablet and the Lion Heart Sword produce a Divine Artifact reaction?”

“Of course not.” Bai Lu shook his head, “Although the Lion Heart Sword is a Holy Sword, it’s just a fantasy treasure. The difference between a Divine Artifact and a fantasy treasure is not merely a matter of a few words. Although I have never truly dealt with a Divine Artifact, from the records of ancient texts, the comparison between the two is not something you can understand with reason.”

“Then is it possible that the Lion Heart Sword, due to the oath of Former King Eke, after accumulating so many years and bearing so many causes and effects, has thus sanctified into a Divine Sword?” Brand pressed on.

Bai Lu still shook his head: “My Lord, I suggest you keep these unrealistic imaginations to yourself. I still say the same—when you truly experience the difference between a Divine Artifact and a fantasy treasure, you’ll understand how naive and ridiculous your ideas are.” When speaking of knowledge about these treasures, the craftsman master’s whole being was filled with undeniable confidence. But he quickly realized this, recalling how he offended Gruding and got imprisoned, he lowered his head in apologetic submission, yet his heart was filled with endless regret.

Unfortunately, his actions were destined to be in vain.

Because at this moment, Brand had no interest in paying attention to these trivial matters. He only felt bouts of darkness before his eyes, and he finally understood why that day he had a Divine Artifact-level resonance with the Lion Heart Sword. Because it was not just a resonance with the Lion Heart Sword. Recalling what the old man had said about the prophecy before, he could fully guess what kind of good deed he had done.

The Flame Scepter.

It turned out that the one resonating with him was the Flame Scepter! The sword that the Flame King Gilte had once used—Blade of Fire Odefis. By Martha, Brand couldn’t help but groan in his heart, what a huge joke this was. But in the Amber Sword, he had never heard any news about Odefis reappearing in the world, not even the Lion Heart Sword had eventually disappeared without a trace—so if Bai Lu’s words were true, something must have changed in history.

So where could that be?

Brand couldn’t help but rub his temples. “Alright,” he shook his head and said, “Let’s stop this discussion here. Master Bai Lu, I don’t want these words to spread,” he paused, “You wouldn’t want everyone to know that the Lion Heart Sword has already chosen me either, right?”

The craftsman master gave him a puzzled look, thinking that the Lion Heart Sword was the rightful heritage of Erune; because of Eke’s oath, Brand could fully establish himself as king with it. In fact, when the Kerkova Royal Family was just founded, they also borrowed the name of the Lion Heart Sword—although the public mostly didn’t know that the Lion Heart Sword was lost, if this matter were made public, it would undoubtedly shake the influence of the Royal Family. But why this young man chose to suppress this point actively puzzled him.

“Could it be that he truly supports the Princess?” When Bai Lu was imprisoned, Princess Griffine was not even twelve years old, and of course, he couldn’t guess Brand’s background. But regardless, he faced Brand’s words with a half-believing attitude.

In the end, the old man still nodded. No matter what, he did not wish for the Royal Family’s honor to be damaged. He had dedicated half of his life to the Kerkova Royal Family, and his most fervent struggles were during his days as a Royalist. Even though he ultimately failed, he had no regrets. Thus, no matter how correct Brand’s words were, he would not side with this; he instinctively wished that Brand would not break his word—as he had said, he would help the Princess.
