Chapter 23 The Sword of Mordred—Dark Magic and the Way to Salvation
I leaned against the stone tablet, breathing heavily. The bright red blood had already condensed into blood clots. The wound on my chest gradually began to heal under Laura's continuous golden water wash.
"Hmm...this little girl is a bit interesting." Gaines' voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
I was so frightened that I suddenly struggled, and the newly healed flesh tore a new hole. The severe pain made me look ferocious for a moment. Laura was also startled by my sudden movement and said: "Henmo, you are crazy."
La, the wound hasn’t healed yet. What’s wrong with you?”
I shook my head, not knowing how to answer. While Laura lowered her head to treat my injuries, she asked me: "Did you kill that elemental incarnation?"
I still shook my head. This matter was too complicated and I didn’t know how to talk about it to Laura. Seeing that I didn’t answer for a long time, Laura looked up at me strangely.
"Let me tell you, kid," Gaines muttered in my head again.
"But how can I ask you to come out and say it? You don't even have a body now."
"It doesn't matter, I will teach you an ancient magic spell that can temporarily allow me to come out of your body, but I have to borrow the power of the wind element in your body to transform into a body." As soon as Gaines finished speaking, my
An unusually awkward mantra appeared in my mind.
"Transform the wind into shape, transform life into guidance, borrow your power to call me by my true name." I said this spell uncontrollably, and the power of the wind element around me gradually enveloped my whole body, and I felt that there was a lot of energy around me.
With the power of the wind element, Laura's healing magic was suddenly interrupted by the flowing wind element. She looked at me in surprise.
The wind element slowly overflowed from around my body, forming an erratic figure next to me. As the outline and face gradually became clearer, the fear on Laura's face gradually deepened.
"It's you!" When Gaines' whole body was clearly visible, Laura's panic could be imagined. She subconsciously picked up the guardian sword beside her and stabbed Gaines. I quickly ignored the pain of the wound.
Stopped Laura.
Laura looked at me doubtfully: "Henmo, why did you stop me?"
I could only explain to Laura with apologies: "Laura, this is a long story, but this mage's name is Gaines Corinan..."
"One of the three major disciples of Merlin, the ancestor of the Corinan family?" Laura reacted instantly when she heard the name.
Hearing these titles, Gaines laughed uninhibitedly: "The little girl from the Hurley family is really smart. It's a pity that my descendants didn't react immediately when they heard my name. I really envy the damn Julio. His brain is so smart."
For the students."
Laura looked back and forth at Gaines, and then she said something that almost made both of our heads fall to the ground: "Are your Corinan family ancestral bald men?"
Hearing this, Gaines and I looked at each other in confusion. The eldest lady of the Hurley family was really focused on... It's hard to describe in a word.
I quickly changed the topic: "Laura, my ancestor and I just entered the secret realm of elements together. We were sent back by the elemental messenger. He didn't mean to hurt us, he just... was just joking with us."
"Are you kidding? A joke can hurt you like this?" Laura was furious when she heard this.
Then Laura and Gaines had a heated debate on whether Gaines was right or wrong to do what they both focused on. In the end, Gaines had no choice but to admit defeat and said: "That's it, Julio's descendants
The brains are smarter than ordinary people, I can’t tell you, I was wrong, okay, little girl, but if you hadn’t taken out the Mordred Sword, how could I have struck so hard?”
"Mordred's Sword? Is this what you're talking about?" Laura said, raising the dagger in her hand.
Gaines nodded: "Exactly, this sword is the sword of the legendary Knights of the Round Table, Mordred."
"But our family has always regarded it as our heirloom, and its name is the Guardian Sword. It has been used by successive heads of the Heli family. It's strange, do you know its origin?" Laura asked curiously.
While they were talking, I had already dragged the wound on my chest and brought them firewood. Laura and Gaines were chatting so enthusiastically that they didn't notice me at all, so I coughed, and Gaines waved his hand.
A small fireball ignited the firewood. I sat aside and watched my ancestor chatting animatedly with the eldest daughter of the Hurley family, feeling jealous in my heart.
"This sword was seized by my mentor Merlin from Mordred, the Knight of the Round Table who murdered King Arthur. After King Arthur died, my mentor lived for a long, long time until he passed the sword to Julio Heli before his death.
That is, the ancestor of your Hurley family." Gaines briefly told the history of this sword, but kept his eyes on it.
Seeing that he kept staring, Laura handed the sword over and said, "Mr. Gaines...Old sir, do you want to take a look?"
When Gaines saw the sword, he kept shrinking back and waving his hands repeatedly. Looking at his fearful look, Laura and I found it strange. I said in a weird voice from the side: "Old ancestor, your famous disciple of Merlin, you are still here."
Afraid of this sword?"
Gaines sighed helplessly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of this sword, but the way I am now is afraid of this sword."
"How do you say this?" Laura took back her sword and looked at it carefully. I took advantage of this moment to get closer to Laura in order to seek some sense of security.
"I have just said that in the Battle of Camelot, Mordred used this sword to die with Arthur Pendragon, the young King Arthur, but the real reason is that this sword had been used before.
Morgana cast black magic on this sword, which resulted in this sword having unusual magical power. Later, my teacher Merlin obtained the sword, but he could not eliminate the black magic on the sword, so he had to ask Gu Long to use Dragon's Breath
Convert black magic into harmless pure magic energy, and seal this power in the sword. This sword has become a well-known elemental nemesis. I now use ancient magic to make a body composed of elements, so when I encounter
This sword will be reduced to ashes." After Gaines said so much, I gradually understood.
"Then when I stabbed you with this sword just now, the water element just happened to respond, so the water element was absorbed into the sword?" Gaines nodded when he heard my question.
But I immediately realized something was wrong: "Didn't it say that the water element is a family heritage of the Hurley family? Why do you also have such a strong power of the water element?"
After hearing this, Gaines just stared at the fire, and then said to me: "That's because of your mother."
"My mother?" I widened my eyes: "Do you know my mother?"
"Yes," Gaines nodded: "Your mother wanted to save your father in the secret realm of elements, but Virgil had no choice. As an elemental messenger, he must be fair and selfless, so your mother, little Norma, chose
She sacrificed all her magical power in exchange for your father's power. She is the bravest girl I have ever seen, and she can make such a big sacrifice at such a young age."
"How did that happen to you?"
"It's been a long, long time since I died, so long that I can't even remember it, but my magical power was the strongest among the students of my mentor back then. So after I died, the elemental power combined with my thoughts and became a game player.
An existence that walks between life and death, and this between life and death is the so-called secret realm of elements. After so long, of course, I have become old friends with that old guy Virgil. But I don’t know why, Virgil accepted
Not long after receiving Little Norma's water element, he chose to give it to me for safekeeping. I couldn't ask why, so I didn't go into details. As an elemental messenger, if they were unwilling to tell me, I really couldn't ask.
So. But, to be honest, my ability to control the water element cannot be compared with the talent of the Hurley family. Maybe, Henmo, you can." Gaines spoke, still staring at Mordred intently.
sword.
"Me? Don't make fun of me. When I entered the secret realm of elements, the elemental messenger said that I couldn't get rid of the curse of the Corinan family and that I completely lost the ability to control elements. This time I completely lost the power of a magician.
"The more I spoke, the lower my tone became. Seeing my condition, Laura held my hand and comforted me.
Gaines started laughing again, and we both looked at him strangely. My ancestor behaved strangely, but he was quite cheerful. When he had laughed enough, he burped and said, "Henmo,
Don’t forget, my elemental power is now sealed in your body, and when you were able to control the sword of Mordred filled with water elements before, it shows that your power is destined not to disappear."
After hearing this, I had a glimmer of hope. Is there a way?
Gaines sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that the sword of Mordred, forged by black magic, has now become the salvation of magic!"
