"can."
Gawain looked at the golden chains wrapped around his hands, thought for a moment, and then nodded to Merlin.
So Merlin began to speak eloquently:
"The replica of the Holy Sword 'Sword of the Sun King' in front of you, although it does not possess the legendary power of the original Holy Sword, is still of high quality worthy of being a replica of the Holy Sword. It is an excellent meteorite-level weapon."
"My lord knight, I believe you should already be able to sense that with your Lv.4 'Blessing of the Sun,' you have already earned the approval of this counterfeit holy sword."
"Does drawing the sword acknowledge this?"
Gawain lowered his eyes and murmured, repeating Merlin's words.
With his limited experience, he didn't know whether such recognition was good or bad for him.
But at least one thing is certain: Gawain does not want to be controlled by this inexplicable urge to draw his sword.
Just now, the "Blessing of the Sun" resonated with the counterfeit Holy Sword, causing him to lose control for the second time.
The first time, he was almost completely dominated, and only regained his senses when he stood in front of the fake holy sword;
The second time, she regained her senses only after Merlin stopped her with his golden chains.
Gawain disliked this feeling of being bound by other things.
So he turned his head to look at Arthur beside him.
As for Arthur, the two were just strangers who met by chance and only spent half a day together.
But in the past half day, Gawain had developed a great deal of trust in this young Blackrock Lord.
Because it was Arthur who pulled him out of the quagmire of self-doubt after the incident of the villagers kneeling in Qingfeng and guided him to move forward.
Therefore, he would ask Arthur for his opinion:
"My lord, do you think it's a good thing that I've gained the sword's approval?"
Merlin noticed Gawain's dependence on Arthur.
If Arthur's composure and calmness during their previous conversation had changed his opinion of the young frontier lord, then...
So, the fact that a young knight with the Lv.4 bishop-level "Blessing of the Sun" and unlimited potential was so obedient to Arthur directly shattered his stereotype of Arthur.
At this moment, Merlin, unusually, suppressed his usual lazy gaze and looked at Arthur with great interest.
Now, Arthur is being watched by both Gawain and Merlin.
Both of them were waiting for him to speak.
"Gawain, as a knight, do not fear your power, but try to control it."
Soon, Arthur spoke up, not answering Gawain's question, but choosing instead to encourage him:
"Remember, you are the master of power, not its slave."
After saying that, Arthur patted Gawain on the shoulder heavily.
He was guiding Gao Wen to proactively confront and answer this question.
Now, let's look at Gao Wen again.
After receiving encouragement from Arthur, his eyes regained their former luster.
He was no longer afraid of the fake holy sword before him, and looked back at Merlin, continuing their previous conversation:
"Mr. Merlin, how is my ability to obtain the approval to draw the counterfeit Holy Sword 'Sword of the Sun King' related to your deal?"
Seeing that Gawain had cheered up after Arthur's few words, Merlin looked away and answered Gawain directly:
"I want to use this fake holy sword as a bargaining chip to get you to do something for me in the future."
Chapter 47 Gawain, Draw Your Sword!
Arthur understood Merlin's meaning; it seemed that the other party had taken a liking to the potential shown by Gawain's Lv.4 "Blessing of the Sun".
Therefore, he wanted to invest in him with a fake holy sword of meteorite star level, hoping to achieve something in the future.
Thinking this, Arthur looked at Gawain.
After hearing Merlin's offer of a deal, he didn't rush to answer, but instead got back to the main point:
"Mr. Merlin, could you first tell me about the relationship between this fake Holy Sword of the Holy Church and the matter of sealing the altar of the Shadow Church?"
"of course can."
Merlin didn't seem to be in a hurry for Gawain's reply; his gaze shifted to the fake holy sword stuck in the stone.
"In this world, if we were to say who is best at targeting and restraining the Shadow Church, the Holy Church would be second to none."
This counterfeit holy sword inherited certain characteristics of the Holy Church's superior sacred instruments during its forgery.
Therefore, these divine properties are perfectly suited as a medium to seal the extraordinary objects within the Shadow Church altar.
After Merlin finished speaking, he reached out and stroked the hilt of the fake holy sword, touching the rune on the hilt that resembled the sun.
The moment it came into contact with the rune that resembled the sun, a blazing white light burst forth from the blade of the counterfeit holy sword.
The aura of that blazing white light felt familiar to Arthur and Gawain, who were present.
—Isn't this the solar waveguide that Gao Wen inspired?
All of a sudden.
The sunlight filtering through the cracks above the cave all converged on one spot, illuminating the blade of this counterfeit holy sword known as the "Sword of the Sun King".
Under the concentrated sunlight, the counterfeit holy sword underwent a mutated rebirth.
Arthur and Gawain, who were watching from the sidelines, both felt a surge of intense heat emanating from the fake holy sword.
Among the group of people present, Gao Wen also exhibited unusual behavior.
He was affected by the scorching airflow from the fake holy sword, and his life force began to surge wildly and uncontrollably.
next moment.
Standing beside him, Arthur witnessed a solar wave that emerged from Gawain's hands, its characteristics identical to the blazing white light of the fake Holy Sword.
But compared to the past, this incandescent white flame, known as the solar waveguide, is burning even more fiercely than before.
At the same time, the blazing white flames formed by the solar waveguide melted the golden chain that Merlin had extended from his staff.
Upon seeing this, Arthur couldn't help but look at Merlin.
He concluded that this was an anomaly caused by Merlin coming into contact with the counterfeit Holy Sword.
Feeling Arthur's gaze, Merlin did not look away; the lazy smile he had shown when they first met returned to his face.
Then, he explained what he had done:
"Just now, I used an alchemical technique to activate the sacred properties within this fake holy sword."
This knight's solar waveguide was activated by the pull of divine properties.
Now, I have also incorporated the method used by the Holy Church to seal the altars of the Shadow Church into the counterfeit Holy Sword.
At this point, Merlin paused for a moment and began to guide Gawain in making a choice:
"So, next, all you have to do is pull this fake holy sword out of the stone, and you will get the sealing method you want."
"Can't the altar of the Church of Shadows be sealed without using this fake holy sword?"
At this point, Arthur interrupts the conversation.
Merlin shook his head and replied:
"Of course not, I also have many extraordinary artifacts from the Holy Church."
They also possess certain sacred properties and should be able to seal the Shadow Church altar, but their effect is certainly not as good as that of the fake "Sword of the Sun King".
However, even with the lesser-tier collections, the lord could only barely exchange them for a single use with the remaining resources.
After hearing this, Gao Wen, who had been hesitant, immediately made a decision.
She turned to look at Arthur, first giving him a grateful look, and then spoke:
"My lord, you have already sacrificed so much for me. First, you guided me out of my self-blame, and then you lost several precious wind elemental gems in order to obtain information about the shadow monsters and repair the altar."
Besides 'thank you,' I have no other words to describe how I feel right now.
Therefore, please entrust me with the task of sealing the Shadow Church altar.
Arthur sensed Gawain's unwavering conviction from his words, so he stopped talking and simply nodded.
Now, look at Gao Wen.
He resolutely raised a hand enveloped in solar waveguide and grabbed the hilt of the fake "Sword of the Sun King" embedded in the stone.
This time, Gawain's unwavering conviction was not swayed or consumed by the desire to draw his sword.
He looked at Merlin and stated his decision:
“Mr. Merlin, I am willing to accept your offer to pull out this fake holy sword and do something for you in the future.”
Merlin took a step back, cast an expectant look at Gawain, and called out to him:
"Then, Gawain, draw your sword!"
The voice just fell.
Gawain no longer hesitated and gripped the fake Holy Sword "Sword of the Sun King" with his outstretched hand.
next moment.
As the light of the entire space converged on Gawain, he successfully pulled out the counterfeit holy sword.
What happened next shocked even Arthur.
The blazing white light emanating from Gawain seemed to come alive, transforming in the blink of an eye into countless tiny light sprites.
They shimmered gracefully in this dim space, emitting a clear, cheerful sound like silver bells.
After the light spirits appeared, they flew around Gawain and surrounded him.
Their behavior seemed to be cheering for Gawain's feat at this moment, as if they were telling of a miracle being performed again.
This dreamlike, almost unreal legendary scene was something Arthur had only heard of in ancient books.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart:
What Gawain drew was not a fake Holy Sword, but the legendary "Sword of the Sun King".
He then looked at Merlin, who was also present.
After witnessing Gawain draw his sword, a deep glint appeared in his languid eyes.
Merlin's lips curled up slightly, a smile that conveyed satisfaction and a touch of mystery.
As the original owner of this counterfeit holy sword, he knew better than Arthur that there was some kind of bond between the holy sword and Gawain that he had long understood.
Finally, let's look at Gao Wen.
His breathing began to quicken.
Because he could clearly feel that as the fake holy sword was pulled out, a power connected to his bloodline was slowly awakening within his body.
After drawing his sword, Gawain had an incredibly clear intuition:
His "Firebird Breathing Technique" has been completely transformed into a new knight breathing technique, the "Sun Breathing Technique".
Chapter 48 Nameless Protective Talisman
After a short while, the legendary scene that had occurred to Gawain gradually disappeared.
The light spirits surrounding him returned to the form of blazing white flames, then gathered together to form a raging, intense white fire.
The blazing white flame drifted towards Gawain's forehead and eventually disappeared into his brow.
Immediately, Gao Wen's consciousness fell into a brief daze, and an unfamiliar memory flooded into his mind.
Gao Wen blinked, and as he snapped out of his dazed state, a long, drawn-out clapping sound rang in his ears at just the right moment:
"Clap clap clap!"
It was Merlin. He stepped forward and applauded Gawain for successfully drawing his sword.
