"All done?" Gavin was stunned for a moment, then an overwhelming joy rushed over him: "Grandma Zoe is all done!" He took off running towards the second floor of the church.
The church has three floors. The first floor contains the chapel, kitchen, library, storage room, and other living areas. The second floor is the children's living area, and the third floor is the living quarters for the clergy. Because it is a small church, it only has three rooms.
"Zoe's grandmother is better?" Eleanor asked blankly. When did Zoe's grandmother get sick? She was about to chase after her when she was stopped.
“Sister Eleanor, Grandma Zoe is off today, so let me help out. I promise I’ll be an excellent bread-baking assistant.” Melissa tugged at Eleanor’s sleeve and looked up, her eyes full of confidence.
The other children also ran over.
"I can do that too."
"I'm very strong."
"Okay, okay, I'll go cook now." Irene glanced at the stairs and was helplessly led into the kitchen by the children.
In Sister Zoe's room.
Gavin looked at his sleeping grandmother Zoe with a happy smile on her face, and couldn't help but hold her hand that was placed on his chest. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes: "That's wonderful, Grandmother Zoe."
Memories of what happened in the early hours of two days ago surfaced in my mind.
Zoe's grandmother knelt before the statue of the Virgin Mary in the chapel and wept bitterly.
She told me that she had cancer and wouldn't live much longer, and kept mentioning the name of a very important nun.
He remembered Zoe's grandmother as gentle and kind, and he was completely stunned and wanted to cry.
He heard only one plea in Zoe's grandmother's tearful plea.
We promised to eat steak and drink our hometown's ruby wine when we met again, but we never got to... I wish I could go back to that time...
Although he didn't know the specific reason, he wanted to fulfill Zoe's grandmother's wish before God took her away, even if it meant doing something bad himself.
He was a child abandoned by his parents, and Zoe's grandmother gave him the most precious thing in the world: 'family'.
……
Los Saint returned to his home in Xia Kingdom through the Anywhere Door, where he came to retrieve the 'Holy Sword' that Buyer had already prepared.
“Two ‘Swords of Choice’ are already finished, and four more swords will take some time to complete. They should be ready by noon tomorrow.” Buyer held a sword in each hand.
The two swords are different sizes, and the attributes of the inlaid God's Eyes are also different; one is fire attribute and the other is wind attribute.
"In addition to making these two swords according to your requirements, I also added a function to automatically adapt to the user's size."
"What about the power?" Luo Sheng took the two swords. The original smaller sword had grown a few centimeters larger. It could only grow a few centimeters larger or smaller at most. This was to adapt to different heights and make it easier for the user to handle.
"In terms of power, it's slightly greater than what you requested, Los Saint."
Chapter Thirty-Five: Drawing the Holy Sword and Becoming a Hero
"In terms of power, it's about 5% to 10% of Artoria's normal Excalibur. It can destroy a building the size of a stadium in one hit, easily kill medium-sized Devourer like the Flower Calyx Beast, and even kill a beast as big as the Giant Toothed Jaw Beast in one hit," Buyer said seriously.
"However, this level of attack would place a huge burden on the holder of the 'Eye of God,' since it is not one's own power."
The 'Eye of God' is embedded in the hilt of the Holy Sword as a medium for outputting elemental power.
The person who possesses the 'Holy Sword' can use the 'Eye of God' normally.
The blade of the holy sword is engraved with her 'divine runes', which are the manifestation of her 'divine wisdom' as the goddess of wisdom. They are her understanding of the rules, and by writing according to specific rules, her 'divine wisdom' can be transformed into 'runes' that can be learned.
When the holder of the Holy Sword activates the 'rune,' a request will be sent to the Silver Tree through the 'Eye of God.' Only when the Silver Tree is certain that the holder is doing the 'right' thing will it transfer a large amount of elemental power to them.
The transmitted elemental force will form a highly destructive energy torrent through the 'runes,' which looks like Excalibur firing a light cannon, except it's an elemental force light cannon.
"Hmm, not bad, Sword of Sizzling, Schtrom Sword." In an instant, Los Saint understood the runes engraved on the sword. Activating the runes and shouting the syllables of the runes would unleash a beam of light.
Looking at the smiling Buyer, Luo Sheng said, "Release your special move by shouting its name... there's really no need to replicate it so meticulously."
Buyer disagreed, saying seriously, "No, Los Santos, don't you think that when heroes unleash their ultimate moves and shout in the face of powerful enemies, it boosts their courage and inspires the people they protect?"
Luo Sheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat doubtful: "Are you sure you didn't want to do this after watching a lot of exciting short videos?"
"Are you sure this won't cause the user to lose battle because the ultimate skill is too slow to be unleashed during combat?"
Buyer smiled and said, "No, I added runes to detect emotions. If the emotions fluctuate wildly, you can directly activate the ultimate skill. I also added an extra feature: when releasing the ultimate skill, the overflowing elemental power forms a shield to prevent being ambushed."
"So comprehensive? You're really meticulous." Luo Sheng looked at the two swords in his hands with surprise.
Both swords are similar in style to Excalibur, but the runes on the blades and the hilts are different.
Once the 'Eye of God' is activated, corresponding elemental patterns will appear on the sword.
"Well then, I'll be going now. It's quite lively here tonight." Luo Sheng, carrying two 'holy swords', turned and walked into the Anywhere Door, closing it with a click.
“Actually…now that I’ve condensed my physical body, I also want to travel to other places…” Buyer sighed softly as he looked at the spot where the Anywhere Door had disappeared.
Although you can learn about all the places in the world with network signals through the internet, it is still very different from actually being there in person.
When I'm not so busy, I should ask Los Saint for a break. He should approve it, right? (Los Saint: Do you think I'm some heartless, inherently evil capitalist?)
……
Cardiff Bay.
Cardiff Bay is very large. The wharves used for shipping or fishermen are only located on the outskirts of the city. The rest of the area is all beaches, and only the beaches around the city are populated. The other areas are deserted, and only picnics or passing fishing boats occasionally stop there.
Luo Sheng looked at a smooth, three-meter-long rock on the beach and casually tossed two swords over it.
With a snapping sound, the two swords were stuck straight into the hole.
By this time, the sun had completely set below the horizon, the sky had darkened, and the moon had revealed its bright crescent shape. In the distance, on the high ground, were the lights of the city, and the neighborhood where the church was located was faintly lit.
In older neighborhoods, most people are reluctant to turn on their lights in order to save money, and churches are one such example.
crunch...
The door creaked as it closed, and Eleanor and Gavin carefully shut the church door, afraid of waking their sleeping younger siblings.
After dinner, they would go to bed on time once it was completely dark. The younger siblings were too young and fell asleep quickly.
Gavin and Eleanor only went out at night a handful of times in their memory.
"Sister Eleanor, what did Father call us to see him for tonight?" Gavin felt his heart pounding with excitement. What was happening now felt like he was personally experiencing a scene from a heroic legend.
"I don't know, but the priest certainly won't hurt us. Let's not talk and hurry over there, so we don't keep the priest waiting," Eleanor whispered.
"Hmm." Gavin swallowed hard.
The two siblings ran towards the beach. Even though the priest said the beach was very large, they somehow knew where the priest was. It was truly amazing.
Soon the two siblings ran to the designated place, their breathing becoming rapid and labored.
What came into view was a priest with his hands behind his back, and next to him was a three-meter-high stone with two swords stuck in it.
Amazingly, the two swords emitted cyan and fiery red light respectively, and there were even pale green 'fireflies' floating around them.
“God, Father…” Eleanor was the first to come to her senses and whispered.
“Hmm.” Los Saint nodded calmly and went straight to the point: “Gavin, Eleanor, you have already encountered a monster crisis and learned some of the truth about the world.”
"As heroes chosen by fate, you now have two paths laid out before you by destiny."
As Eleanor and Gavin listened to the priest's voice, their nerves instantly tightened, and they held their breath. They knew that what was about to happen was absolutely the most important moment of their lives.
Before they even arrived, they had already made many guesses, including the possibility that they would experience some extraordinary adventures like the Knights of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend.
I never expected to be chosen as a hero. The priest said it was fate's choice!
"The first path is to gain the approval of the Holy Sword, make a pact with destiny, and become a hero who slays monsters and evil and protects people."
Hearing the priest's calm voice, Gavin and Eleanor looked at the two swords on the stone again.
A holy sword! Is this a holy sword like Excalibur from the Arthurian legends?
"Gulp~" Gavin and Eleanor swallowed hard, their hearts pounding like drums.
At this moment, the holy swords seemed to emit a crisp, metallic trembling sound, as if urging the heroes who arrived before them to pull them out.
This scene overlapped with their imagined vision of the Eternal King of Britain drawing the 'Sword of the Elector' in the presence of all.
Chapter Thirty-Six: The Holy Swordsman and the Human Angel
"The road to becoming a hero is tortuous. You will be tempted by power and wealth, and you will be plotted against by those with ulterior motives. These are all tests that you will inevitably have to go through."
"Those who get lost in it, the dragon-slaying hero will eventually become the dragon himself."
Luo Sheng calmly watched the two excited people.
How alluring is extraordinary power to those who hold positions of power but do nothing!
They were tired of everything that ordinary people couldn't even imagine, and wanted to step into a completely new 'world,' just like ancient emperors who wanted immortality after possessing everything.
When extraordinary beings appear before them, they will do everything in their power to obtain them, and heroes with shallow life experience are easily corrupted.
However, with Buyer watching over them, he wasn't worried that the heroes would be easily corrupted, but he still needed to warn them before they became heroes.
Gavin clenched his fists. No, I will never become a dragon. I want to be like the Knights of the Round Table, and no temptation can taint the eight virtues of a knight.
Irene's eyes also became incredibly firm, her gaze shifting back and forth between the expressionless priest and the holy sword on the stone beside him.
"The second option is to return to a peaceful life, forget everything that happened tonight, study hard, get married, have children, and live a happy life like an ordinary person."
"A peaceful life?" Luo Sheng said. "Absolutely impossible. The world is about to change drastically. Even in a country like Xia, which does everything it can to protect its citizens, ordinary people will not be able to live peacefully in the future."
Gavin exclaimed hastily, "I want to be a hero! Father, I want to be a hero!"
Eleanor nodded firmly: "I want to be a hero too. I don't want to see monsters like those hurting innocent people!"
“Alright, then let’s gain the Holy Sword’s approval.” Luo Sheng smiled.
Gavin felt his heart pounding and his breathing quicken. He walked forward, climbed the stone, and stood in front of the two holy swords, his eyes fixed on the holy swords on the rock.
The cyan holy sword was slightly thinner, and a gentle breeze caressed my face. The red holy sword was wider and looked very heavy; just getting close to it made me feel that it would be very hot.
Gavin looked back and forth between the holy sword with its blue and red light, then took a deep breath, his breath trembling, and gripped the hilt of the red holy sword with both hands.
The sword hilt wasn't hot to the touch, but its temperature was much higher than his body temperature.
Gavin pulled with all his might, but the sword wouldn't budge, and his face turned red with effort.
As Eleanor watched Gavin struggle to pull out his sword, his face flushed, she unconsciously clenched her hands, worried that he wouldn't be able to gain the Holy Sword's approval.
“You can’t gain its approval by brute force alone. What is your belief? What is your lifelong wish?” Los Saint said. Only a strong positive desire and belief can activate the ‘Eye of God’. There is no other way.
