[Obtained: Ancient Dragon Rock Discoloration Forging Stone]
[Description: Fam Azra's secret treasure, a forging stone crafted from polished gold fragments. This is a scale from an Ancient Dragon King, said to reside within a spatial rift. This forging stone exhibits a slight spatial distortion, thus enabling its use in forging god-slaying weapons.]
A scale from the King of Dragons... that's quite a gift.
However, Lance Sanx smiled and said, "This was prepared in advance."
Seeing her serene smile, Lu Ye realized what was happening.
It's likely that Marika acquired this piece of ancient dragon rock when she reached an agreement with the King of Dragons.
Before long, Lu Ye and A Tui returned to the round table hall.
It was noticeably quieter here; people like D, Fia, and Roger were no longer there.
That's understandable. The recent commotion caused by the Supreme Will probably made the Faded Ones a little uneasy, so they left the Round Table Hall.
Even the two fingers at the back of the hall have disappeared.
“But it’s so dark here,” A-Tui muttered. “I almost tripped over the broken bricks under my feet.”
"After all, the person is gone, so there's no one to light the candles anymore."
Even as he said that, Lu Ye still sensed an unusual atmosphere.
The passageways on both sides of the hall were dark.
This is strange.
Even if everyone, including Little Red Riding Hood, leaves, the blacksmith Xiu Gu will never leave.
Lu Ye remembered that Xiu Gu had once said that he was imprisoned here and forged weapons for the Faded Ones.
Lu Ye came back this time to have weapons forged by him.
But now he's gone...
Just then, a warning of death flashed through Lu Ye's mind.
Without thinking, he pressed down on A-Tui's head and made them both bend down. A-Tui didn't know what was going on, but he heard a cold wind rushing past his head.
That was the sound of a blade being swung!
Someone crept up to them quietly in the darkness.
Six weapons swirled slightly around Lu Ye, serving as a form of self-defense.
"Hey! Didn't we say that fighting is prohibited in the round table hall?"
While complaining, A-Tui waved his staff and summoned starlight, illuminating the surrounding environment.
A figure clad in decaying skull armor charged forward once more, its longsword poised to strike like a snake.
Lu Ye recognized him immediately.
This thing is one of the men of "Sir Hundred" Gideon Ofnir.
Eun Ha.
As Ensha closed in, he leaped high into the air, his longsword slashing down with the force to cut through steel!
At this distance, A-Tui could not quickly unleash magic; a few seconds was enough time to kill her several times over. For En-Xia, the only threat at this moment was Lu-Ye.
However, Lu Ye's brows relaxed.
To dare to use such a leaping, slashing technique against me in this space and at this distance, it seems that Ensha is very confident in his own strength.
Having confidence is a good thing, but having confidence does not mean having ability.
A blood-red longsword appeared in Lu Ye's hand—a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He took a step back sharply, adjusting his position as the arc of the blade flashed, splattering blood.
This is the combat technique of this blood-red longsword—corpses strewn across the field.
When using combat techniques, layers of blood will seep out from the surface of the blade.
This is cursed blood; when it is spilled, it leaves large pools of blood.
Lu Ye unleashed a series of cross-shaped attacks, these cursed blood-stained strikes instantly neutralizing Ensha's offensive.
Ensha let out a muffled groan, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the gaps in his armor.
Seeing this, Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh. This sword was really something, able to inflict the "bleeding" status with just one combo.
Ensha remained kneeling on the ground, the massive bleeding leaving him in a state of temporary weakness.
Meanwhile, on the other side, A-Mei had already summoned a large group of ashes, and Comet Yazler was also ready, just waiting for Lu Ye's order to blast the guy who was launching a sneak attack into dust.
"Let's stop for now."
Just then, a muffled sound came from not far away.
“Sir Baizhi, you’ve chosen the wrong opponent, but before we begin, I’d like to know why,” Lu Ye said. “Was it the departure of Two Fingers that made you do this?”
“How could that be? I don’t even know when His Majesty left.” Sir Hundred Wisdom slowly emerged from the shadows. “Ensha was far too hasty. As His master, I apologize to you.”
Hey! You haven't answered the question yet!
A-Mei pointed his staff at Sir Hundred Wisdom, and a Comet Yazler was launched.
After experiencing so many life-or-death crises, A-Tui also understands that when facing an opponent who wants his life, he must go all out without holding back.
In this circular space, Sir Hundred's range of evasion is very limited, so Ame doesn't need to worry about Comet Yazler missing.
However, at the same moment that Ame cast his spell, Sir Hundred suddenly raised the scepter in his hand.
As the torrent hurtled toward him, the tip of the staff suddenly emitted a pale blue glow.
Immediately afterwards, a pale blue light suddenly burst forth, actually repelling comet Yazler and causing it to deflect in a forceful manner!
A-Tui and Lu-Ye were both surprised.
Because Sir Hundred Wisdom uses the defensive magic developed by Tops—[Tops' Force Field].
But how could he know that?
This magic was known only to Lu Ye and his group, as well as to people in the magic academy.
The seal on the magic academy has not yet been broken...
"Knowledge is infinite, but it is not perfect. I must remember everything I need to know, I must engrave it all in my heart. This is the meaning of 'Sir Hundred Wisdoms.'" Sir Hundred Wisdoms saw the doubts of Lu Ye and A Tui. "Thanks to your information, the more intelligence I have, the more I know. How about it, do you want to tell me where you have been recently, and whether Marlene is in the Sacred Tree?"
"Do you want me to tell you so you can learn some new things to deal with us?" A-Tui said, somewhat annoyed.
The fact that the opponent possesses [Topus's Force Field] means that using magic will have little effect.
That means the only option left is to gang up on him with his ashes!
A-Tui instructed the group of ashes, including the Knight of the Lost Home, to bravely charge forward.
Sir Hundred Wisdoms quickly retreated, and in a single flash, he moved from the cramped space to the vast hall below the Round Table Hall.
What happened next made her eyes widen in surprise.
She witnessed Sir John White's vast knowledge and abilities, from comet Yazle and the broom star to the vengeful spirit of Lakkad, and even the prayer he had passed on to her and Luye as a reward...
It is constantly changing and comes in a wide variety of styles.
Sir Baizhi, through the information provided by Lu Ye and subsequent investigation, fully grasped all of this.
"The Hall of the Round Table was originally set up so that the Faded Ones could become Kings of Elden. If the Golden Tree must be burned for this, then the Hall of the Round Table's demise is inevitable—that's what I originally thought," Sir Hundred Wisdom said calmly. "I acknowledge your will to become King of Elden, but whether you can have your wish fulfilled is another matter."
"Tch! All this talk is just about maintaining the Golden Tree's rule and preserving the status quo, isn't it?" A-Tui said.
“You’re right, but only half right,” Sir Hundred said. “I don’t uphold the rule of the Golden Tree, but I do want the world to remain unchanged, because Queen Marika wants us to maintain the status quo and keep struggling…”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye and A Tui exchanged a glance.
A-Tui summoned bionic teardrops.
"Queen Marika, is that so?"
The bionic teardrop gradually transformed into the likeness of Marika, much to Sir Baizhi's surprise. Ensha, kneeling on the ground with a knife to his neck, was also somewhat at a loss.
What's going on? The Eternal Queen... is still alive?
"That's not the case... I'd like to ask you, how did you come to this conclusion?"
Marika's aura instantly overwhelmed Sir Hundred.
"Your Majesty...isn't that so?"
"Yes, but that was an idea I had a long time ago."
Marika was under the control of Radagan before she obtained the fragment.
She knew her chances of defying the Golden Law and the two fingers of the Supreme Will were slim.
Even if she banished the Faded Ones and created the Night of Conspiracy, which created a loophole in the Golden Law, things might not necessarily turn out the way she wanted.
And that is indeed the case.
After the Two-Fingers recalled the Faded Ones, they placed the Finger Witches beside them and instilled in them the idea of becoming king and repairing the magic ring.
In this way, even if someone becomes king, they will repair the magic ring and usher in a new era of the Golden Tree.
As for the thorns of the golden tree, they are simply a protective mechanism.
Even though the flawed legal system caused the Golden Law to decline, it also ensured the continuation of the Golden Tree.
Once the ring of law shattered by Marika is repaired, it will become a thing of the past. The Law and the Golden Tree are both remnants of the previous dynasty. As the current dog of the Golden Law, Radagan naturally has to maintain the current status of the Golden Tree, just like the last emperor desperately trying to maintain his rule. After all, once the new dynasty comes, all these remnants of the previous dynasty will have to be replaced.
So, although Marika wanted to change this deceptive law that only brought temporary abundance to the borderlands.
But she knew the chances were slim.
The black-knife assassins may not be able to find someone with the qualities to become king.
Even if Lani successfully kills Twofinger, it will all be in vain unless the Faded One reaches the Golden Tree, becomes King, and ushers in a new era with her as a goddess.
Based on the Supreme Will's actions at the border, Sir Hundred Wisdom immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter.
"I am very sorry, I have overstepped my bounds."
He apologized to Lu Ye and A Tui again, promised to help them, and handed over the supreme secret technique known only to him.
