Act 221 The Sword Against Fate (Part 2)
Freya took a breath and walked to the competition stage. This 1x1o square stone stage was specially built for today's competition. It was one and a half meters high from the ground. No matter whether she fell off the stage or voluntarily gave in, she would lose. ENovel Network (wWw.Exiao ¢shuo.cOM) Freya had already won two games before, but the opponents became more and more powerful as she went to the back. To be honest, she didn't have the confidence to continue moving forward.
Freya couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she thought of this. Brando sent her here to make her stronger so that she could protect everyone in the village. But now she can't say that she has achieved this at all. Even compared with those geniuses like monsters, even her original confidence has been greatly weakened.
Freya raised her sword. This time her opponent was a senior academy student. Nymesis watched from the side as always, but when she saw Freya's state, she couldn't help but frown.
"You can't win by being absent-minded." The senior college student also saw this and couldn't help but remind him.
Freya was stunned and immediately regained her composure. She raised her head, and for a moment, everything she saw overlapped with what she had seen in her dream. The red earth stretched endlessly under her feet, and her opponent turned into the knight whose whole body was burning with forged fire.
She couldn't help shaking her head in panic, trying to get rid of this illusion. But the opponent had already drawn his sword and was coming towards her. Freya was startled and couldn't help but think of that scene in her dream - at this moment, she had completely forgotten the essence of swordsmanship and only thought of subconsciously retreating to avoid it.
There was a burst of laughter in the stands. Apart from the nobles, the people present were also college students. They had never seen anyone fleeing in panic on the playing field.
"Freya, what are you doing!" Nymesis couldn't help but frown and shouted in a low voice.
But at this moment, Freya's forehead suddenly flashed with a white light, and a pair of light wings stretched out from behind her and knocked away the long sword in the college student's hand with a 'ding' sound.
"what is that!"
Beside the princess, several important ministers stood up together. The previous scene on the field happened to fall into their eyes. They saw a flash of white light and the long sword in the hand of the senior college student flew out. And it wasn't over yet. They just heard "buzz" ' There was a soft sound, and a white light suddenly rose in the distance of the college as if it was resonating.
"That's the direction of Yu Songhe!" Someone among the nobles immediately recognized it.
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw the rising white light suddenly deflect in mid-air and draw a long arc straight towards the academy. ∮E∮novels∮网, www.exiao whuo.C∮O∮M∮
"This...this is..."
In full view of the public,
The white light actually fell vertically on the competition field and in front of Freya. Then the white light disappeared, revealing the true form of a long stone sword stuck on the ground.
Not to mention other people, even the person involved was stunned at this moment. Freya didn't know what happened at all. She just felt that the sword in front of her seemed to be calling her, and the voice was so kind, like Brando's gentle encouragement.
But Freya's heart was pounding at this moment, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
There was silence in the arena for a while, and there was no sound——
"F-Freya, you, there is a strange pattern on your forehead——!" But Freya suddenly heard Tisha's voice calling her from below. She subconsciously touched her forehead, and there was a strange pattern... I felt a tingling sensation, and when I put my hand down, I saw that it was all covered in blood.
injured? how come? The girl clearly remembered that the long sword seemed to fly away in a flash of white light from her body before. She was not approached at all, so how could she be injured. She couldn't help but raise the bright long sword in her hand and shine it on her forehead, and then she discovered that there was a beautiful azure emblem on her forehead.
"This...what is this?"
Of course Freya didn't know that this tattoo had a well-known title in Brando's past game world - the Valkyrie War Pattern.
This is a testimony of the glory that Martha gave her throughout her life, a mark of faith in the hearts of all Eruin players, and the beacon and flag of Eruin.
But she didn't notice it at the moment, she just felt confused. She raised her head with some fear, but met Nimesis's dark and calm eyes: "Pick up that sword, it belongs to you, Freya."
There was a hint of indescribable complexity in Nimesis' expression at this moment, but her first words were said so firmly.
Freya was startled.
Nymesis nodded to her again, and the girl took a breath. She raised her head and looked around. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath waiting for her next move. She hesitated for a moment, and then she mustered up the courage to approach the place. A stone sword.
She held her hand on the hilt of the sword, feeling cold at the beginning, and then gently lifted it up.
Then a miracle happened. Everyone saw countless rays of golden light emitting from the stone sword, and then the pieces of rock covering the sword fell off, revealing a golden long sword inside. ENovel Network (wWw.Exiao ¢shuo.cOM) The sword is more than three feet long. The guard is like an outstretched pair of wings. The lion heart emblem protects it. The whole sword is as brilliant as if it were made of gold.
"Lion Heart Sword!" Beside the princess, her teacher, the old man whom everyone in Eruin respected, couldn't help shouting in surprise.
"No, it's not the real Lionheart Sword. It's different from the description. It seems like some rules have changed." The half-elf princess seemed much calmer, but she looked at the sword in Freya's hand, and there was something in her eyes. Flashing with indescribable light.
"The previous movement seemed to be the awakening of the bloodline, right?" She immediately turned back and asked Overwell behind her.
"It seems so."
"The bloodline of the Everton family is indeed not that simple. Pay more attention to her."
"Just relying on the Lion's Heart Sword is enough." Overwell replied: "Speaking of which, the Lion's Heart Sword appears in the south and recognizes its owner. Now those Yankees should panic."
"But we have to make sure that the little girl is on our side first." A noble asked worriedly: "If the Lion Heart Sword falls into the hands of outsiders..."
"Don't worry, Freya is a simple girl. I believe she will be on our side." Griffin glanced at him lightly and replied.
"yes. "
Overwell looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, as if there was some kind of see-through wisdom in her eyes, as if he was asking: Are you really on the side of 'us', Your Highness the Princess?
The half-elf princess slowly calmed down and could only smile bitterly in her heart. She thought of the figure of the young knight in that story. Indeed, in whose hands Eruin's future destiny lies, even she couldn't see clearly——
Griffin looked at the sword in Freya's hand and couldn't help but wonder, is this the punishment that Lady Martha gives to everyone for breaking their oaths?
But why can he be spared?
"Lord Nimesis..."
The expressionless female knight turned back and looked at Freya who took the initiative to stop her. She tilted her head, as if asking: What's the matter?
"This, this sword...?" Freya felt as if she was still dreaming. The sword in her hand was definitely not an ordinary weapon, but why did this sword come to her? She was still a little uneasy.
"This is your thing." Nymesis replied.
"But... this is unavoidable..." Freya's heart pounded when she thought of the legend of the Lion Heart Sword. She was a pure Eruin and grew up listening to those stories, and when she thought of those legends Everything that happened in the story was actually connected to her. Whether it was the late Lord Ekko or the Lion Heart Sword, she felt that it was too unreal.
"Freya, I used to know a girl who is similar to you. She is as stubborn and strong as you, and she also has her own ideals." Nymesis looked at the girl and suddenly said: "I was still young at that time, and I always admired her. I remember she had a sword, similar to yours.
"Huh?" Freya was stunned.
"That sword is sharper than this sword, but not as firm as this sword." Nymesis said, "I think this sword is more suitable for you Freya. Maybe one day it can change everything."
"W-what do you mean? I don't quite understand what you say, Lady Nimesis..."
"I mean you don't want to give it a name?"
"But it's the Lionheart Sword."
"That's Ekko's Lionheart Sword, but it's not leaving now."
"Then what do you think it should be called better? I, I don't have the talent for naming." Freya couldn't help but said a little embarrassed.
For a moment, Nymesis felt that the Lionheart Sword in the girl's hand must be crying. But she shook her head, sighed and replied, "Just call it Amber."
"Amber?"
"Well, amber, the sword of amber. There is such a sword in the Cangzhi Poem of the Cruz people. It is the legendary holy sword and the only sword among all holy swords that allows the holder to fight against fate." Nymesis answered seriously: "The last owner of the Amber Sword was the legendary Azure Knight, the man who penetrated the sky, caused the stars to fall to the ground, and ushered in the second era..."
Freya held the long sword in her hand and nodded with some understanding: "I understand, Amber, it sounds really nice."
The expressionless female knight suddenly felt that Freya was telling the truth when she said that she had no talent for naming, but she shook her head and turned around without stopping after saying that.
"Wait, Lady Nimesis." Freya stopped her again: "Well, what happened next...?"
"later?"
"I'm sorry, I was talking about the girl you said was very similar to me. What happened next?"
"Later?" Nymesis glanced at Freya and smiled slightly: "There was no later..."
"How is that possible!" Freya couldn't help but widen her eyes.
But it’s true that there is no future——
Brando, who was walking in the jungle, suddenly felt a little palpitated. He subconsciously touched the stone slab in his arms. The stone slab was vibrating at a slight frequency.
"What's wrong?" The tree elf Quinir noticed something unusual about him and turned around to ask.
"Nothing." Brando shook his head.
It was the Lion Heart Sword, but how could the Lion Heart Sword sense him at this time? It had been several months since the last time. The feeling just now was a bit strange, but it seemed like some kind of message to conclude a contract. Brando felt a familiar atmosphere from the other side, even a little kind.
This feeling is so strange, let alone now, he has never heard of it even in the game.
But now he can only suppress these thoughts, because the centaur who opened the way in front cut off a thorn with a crash, and then an open hilly area unfolded in front of him——
"Here we are." Brando took a deep breath.
He raised his hand and asked all the elves and mercenaries behind him to stop - the land in front of him was the territory of this legendary young man, and everyone's eyes stayed on Brando.
