Mystery: A Spark

Ever since he was beaten senseless by a "warrior" during his last hunt for the Blackwater Pirates, Arthur has been holding a grudge.

It's not because I feel ashamed that I can't beat a soldier who has been humiliated for years.

Arthur knew very well that in the lower and middle ranks, a warrior's combat power was among the best of all extraordinary paths, and it was perfectly normal to lose; there was nothing shameful about it.

The main reason he couldn't beat that soldier was that his physical abilities weren't good enough to fight him, and he hadn't yet developed his fighting skills.

While hunter potions can provide some boost to physical attributes, they are still not as effective as those for a warrior, whose stats are incredibly high.

For some reason, none of the hunters in the original work seem to have the habit of carrying weapons.

For example, the reckless hunter Meursault, sent by Ambassador Beckeron, didn't bring any weapons except blowguns when he assassinated Klein. As a result, he was still able to be killed by Gou Sanjia when he attacked him in a sneak attack.

After Danitz separated from Klein, he was ambushed by "Iron" McVitie when he headed to the Golden Dream base. Caught off guard, he was almost killed on the spot, but managed to escape back to Klein's side thanks to a magical item.

If Klein hadn't had the ability to transfer his injuries, Danitz would certainly have died there.

Therefore, Arthur definitely needs a melee weapon that can support him in direct combat with others, no matter what.

Although the hidden blade is a melee weapon, it is more stealthy and agile than powerful.

This weapon was not designed for hand-to-hand combat, but for assassination when the enemy is off guard.

Judging from the training the instructors gave Arthur, dual-wielding berserker is a very good development path for him.

However, for ordinary people, the price of even one extraordinary weapon is difficult to afford, let alone two weapons that can be paired together.

Therefore, Arthur had no choice but to consider building a weapon to use for the time being.

As for dual-wielding? We'll have to wait and see.

After recalling the weapons in his mind and considering the role he was playing, Arthur quickly came up with a very unique weapon: a legendary two-handed greatsword from World of Warcraft.

Of course, it's not the famous filial son sword "Frostmourne", but "Salamani", which is jokingly called chopsticks.

It consists of two one-handed swords and can switch between two-handed greatsword form and one-handed sword form.

Of course, this switching is not arbitrary.

In the lore of World of Warcraft, only when the wielder's faith and will reach a certain level can this sword be broken.

And usually, this is when the holder has to start fighting desperately.

Therefore, all those who had ever broken this sword, except for Anduin, died in battle.

This stylish two-handed greatsword was a memento left to Varian's son Anduin after his death in battle.

Only Anduin survived after breaking the sword.

Arthur also had some kind of reverence for metaphysics, which is why he decided to create this sword after playing the role of Anduin.

He also wanted to try and ride on Anduin's luck as the protagonist in this way.

After all, people as handsome as them are usually the protagonists in stories.

In the Warcraft lore, this two-handed greatsword also became Anduin's signature sword.

Later, after Anduin ascended to the throne of the High King, the sword became a symbol of royal power.

......

As a mysterious sailing ship, the Future has almost all the necessary facilities.

So after asking Cattleya, Arthur quickly found the location of the furnace on the ship.

After handing over his blueprints to the blacksmith, Arthur went back to wait patiently for his weapon to be completed.

After he left, a figure appeared in front of the blacksmith.

"Mysterious Queen." The blacksmith bowed respectfully.

“I want to see the blueprints he gave you,” Bernadette said softly.

Chapter 51 The Commission (Please continue reading!)

The blacksmiths on the Future are very skilled and efficient.

Two days later, Arthur received a notification that he could go and pick up the sword he had commissioned to be made.

After paying the commission fee to the blacksmith, Arthur received the sword blank, which was in a long box, from him.

He opened it and saw that the design of the sword blank inside perfectly matched the image of Salamaini in his mind.

Arthur nodded in satisfaction, thanked the blacksmith, and returned to his room.

After returning to his room, Arthur closed the doors and windows, and then sealed the room with a spiritual wall.

In another phase of space, unseen by him, Bernadette sat on a bench formed by intertwined pea vines, watching Arthur bustle about with great interest.

After sealing the room with the spiritual wall, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he used his ghostly vision to scan the room, but found nothing unusual.

After practicing for a few days, Arthur had gained a basic grasp of ghost vision.

There was nothing of unknown origin in his room, so after sealing the room with a spiritual wall, he could try to activate his ghostly vision to take a look.

Of course, Arthur also knew that Bernadette was on the ship, and if she was determined to spy on him, he certainly wouldn't be able to stop her.

But he felt that a saint shouldn't be so bored as to do nothing but stare at him all day.

Bernadette rested her chin on her hand, leaning back on the bench, a hint of surprise on her face.

Just as Arthur's pupils flashed with green symbols as he scanned the room, she felt she was about to be exposed.

However, it seems that because Arthur is not yet able to control this ability well, and his current sequence is not high, he was ultimately unable to see through the phase space constructed by Bernadette.

This is getting more and more interesting... A slight smile appeared on Bernadette's lips.

She currently has two main theories about Arthur's origins.

One theory suggests that Arthur came from the same place as her father, Emperor Roselle, while another theory holds that Arthur was Emperor Roselle who was resurrected through some means after falling into a predicament.

Regardless of the method, it's difficult to get any information simply through language.

As Arthur said before, even Emperor Roselle, who was once a Sequence One, was ruined like that. What can they, a Sequence Eight and a Sequence Three, do?

Therefore, Bernadette knew very well that when it came to such dangerous matters, language was not a good way to convey information, and psychic communication was an even more foolish choice.

So she tried to find some clues by observing Arthur's behavior.

Even if she finds some clues, she won't rush to take action.

Bernadette wanted to rescue her father unharmed, not lose herself in the process without even finding him.

Therefore, while observing Arthur, she also seeks opportunities to be promoted to angel.

That's why Bernadette used a semi-coercive method to get Arthur onto the Future and then have him return to Rune with her.

What she didn't know was that Arthur himself also wanted to go back to Rune.

Bernadette watched as Arthur took the strangely shaped greatsword from the long box, and then summoned the skull of some unknown creature.

She tried to examine the skull with her clairvoyant eye, but couldn't discern anything.

Then, Arthur took out the Lightbringer trait he had obtained earlier, and first used the Skull of Gul'dan to shatter it. After it reassembled, he infused the pure Lightbringer trait into the sword blank.

What was originally an ordinary and simple sword blank gradually transformed into a magnificent greatsword.

It emits a faint golden light, and a unique, narrow blood groove divides the silver-white blade in two, with the narrow and short blade facing upwards and the wide and long blade facing downwards.

Whether it's a narrow blade or a wide blade, it's engraved with mysterious patterns that leave people feeling awe and wonder.

This gives the sword not only extremely powerful slashing ability, but also a unique aesthetic appeal.

And so, the youth version of Salamani was born.

After the Skull of Gul'dan was examined, Arthur learned of the sword's power.

When this sword is wielded, it can bring courage and strength to the wielder.

Moreover, its surface can be covered with bright flames, and any undead monsters hit by it will suffer great damage, or even be completely annihilated.

In addition, it can unleash powerful light slashes, which can greatly purify impure forces and drive away evil.

Its negative effect is that if you hold it for more than three hours continuously, your mind and body will gradually be affected, turning you into a fool who only knows how to praise the sun.

However, this negative effect doesn't affect Arthur too much, because when he's not using it, he can keep Salamence in the Demon Hunter's Mark.

Bernadette witnessed Arthur's entire process of making Salamani.

After a brief moment of surprise, she suddenly conjured up the phantom of a pale white mask in her hand.

Bernadette stared at the illusory image in her hand, lost in thought.

......

Arthur held the Salamani in his right hand and lightly stroked the blade with his left, striking a pose like an ancient swordsman.

He was quite satisfied with the sword's capabilities.

The only slight flaw is that this sword cannot be split into two one-handed swords like the original, which he found quite regrettable.

Just as he sighed softly, he saw pea vines hanging down around him, forming an enclosed space.

"What, are you not satisfied with the sword you made?" Bernadette's gentle voice reached Arthur's ears.

???

Arthur looked at the person sitting on the wicker bench in front of him and asked, somewhat speechlessly:

"Madam, you weren't spying on me the whole time, were you?"

"No."

"Really? I don't believe it." Arthur's face was full of doubt.

"I was looking openly and honestly, you just didn't notice," Bernadette said frankly, without the slightest embarrassment at being exposed.

Arthur: ...

He was just about to debate with her about the specific literary definition of "peeping" when Bernadette spoke up again.

"I want to make a deal with you."

Arthur paused for a moment, then asked:
