As soon as Chen Lin got the Contract Sword, he understood instantly.
This sword has the function of recording contract information, similar to a jade slip, which records the property he can inherit.
It is bound to the owner.
Anyone can apply to use it, and it is also a necessity in this scene. Without it, many things cannot be done, especially the swordsman in white. If you want to be qualified, you must first bind this object.
It is a kind of identity certificate.
Same thing.
If you want to inherit the other party's property, you also need to go to the sword pavilion to bind the sword first.
and.
Only things recorded in the Contract Sword can be inherited. If it is not 'contract property', even if it can be proven that it belongs to the other party, it cannot be inherited.
After understanding this, Chen Lin felt it was reasonable.
Otherwise, if we challenge and inherit at will, the world will be in chaos long ago.
"Meet my benefactor."
The two siblings on the side looked at each other.
The elder brother took a step forward and saluted Chen Lin respectfully.
Chen Lin put away his thoughts.
Watching the two people look up and down.
According to the rules of inheritance, these two people now belong to his sword servants. Of course, the premise is that he must first go to the sword pavilion to bind the contracted sword, and then he can make them his own.
Even if he doesn't want the two of them, he still has to go to Jiange to terminate the contract, otherwise the two of them will have no choice but to be driven by him, and it will be useless to avoid them.
The Sword of Contract is an advanced rule, and only the Sword Girl can change it.
"You are welcome."
Chen Lin waved his hand.
He knew what the two of them were thinking, and neither wanted to be a slave.
And he had no intention of having two of them.
Because he didn't want to stay in Luoxian City any longer. After getting enough sword coins, he would set off to a city close to the Central Continent to find a way to get to the Central Continent.
After rummaging through Chu Fuhu's body, Chen Lin grabbed a money bag.
Weighed it.
Then he turned around and walked to the counter.
The shopkeeper suddenly became panicked.
"Sir, don't blame me. I dare not lie under the influence of the Contract Sword, otherwise I will be beheaded!"
He thought that Chen Lin was going to ask him to settle the accounts he had just testified for, so he hurriedly defended himself. Chen Lin was powerful, but he did not wear a sword robe. Such people were generally gangsters who were not subject to official restrictions and could not abide by the rules.
"Tell me about Chu Fuhu's background."
Chen Lin spoke calmly.
Although he believed that he was not weak in strength, he still had to be careful. He should first find out Chu Fuhu's identity before deciding whether to inherit the other party's family property.
The old shopkeeper's expression relaxed when he heard this.
If Chen Lin intends to inherit Chu Fuhu's property, then he is not a heinous person, at least not a wanted criminal, otherwise he would not dare to go to Jiange to deliver the goods.
He glanced at Chu Fuhu's body.
He immediately said: "This guy is the brother-in-law of Ye Qinghan of the Ye Family Sword Hall. Ye Qinghan is a Sanhua swordsman. He is very powerful and ranks among the top twenty in Luoxian City. It is said that he has the potential to be on the swordsman list."
"What is the Swordsman List?"
Chen Lin asked curiously.
"Sir, I don't know the sword..."
The old shopkeeper was very surprised, but he swallowed his doubts halfway.
Explained: "The Swordsman List is a list released by the Sword Pavilion. The five hundred strongest swordsmen under the Grand Master are on the list. Anyone who can be on the list is a super strong person and has the potential to be promoted to the Sword Sect."
Chen Lin nodded.
He continued to ask: "Since there is a swordsman list, then there is also a grandmaster list?"
"Yes, my lord."
The old shopkeeper responded respectfully.
He has now identified Chen Lin as a reclusive powerhouse who has just emerged from the world. Otherwise, he would not even know about such a list. However, such people mostly have eccentric personalities and cannot be offended.
"Do you have a list here?"
Chen Lin felt that it was necessary to master the list information.
As the other party said, everyone who can be on the swordsman list has the potential to be a master. It is not even just the potential, but the strength to reach the master level itself, but they have not won the spot of the master.
When encountering such people, be extra careful.
"have."
The old shopkeeper took out three books from the drawer without any hesitation.
One is white and very thick, and the other is gold and very thick.
The last color one is a bit thinner.
From the color, Chen Lin could distinguish the information recorded in each book. After receiving it, he opened the colored book directly.
really.
This is the list of sword masters.
All the information of the thirty-six sword masters is on it, and the introduction is quite detailed. Not only the biographies of the characters, but also the sword moves they are good at, as well as when the sword master was promoted, etc.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
With such a list, it will be much easier for him to do things. When he wants to be promoted to Sword Sect in the future, he can also clearly challenge the target.
But he also knows.
Since there is such a roster, the people on it can still occupy positions, which means that each one of them has extraordinary strength, and they are all the best in the same realm.
He can barely challenge the strong men on the swordsman list now, and his chances of winning against a grandmaster are slim.
certainly.
This refers to dueling with swords.
If all methods are used, the Grandmaster can fight.
However, if he uses other methods, he will easily be regarded as an alien. Once exposed, he will be hunted down by the swordsmen group, which will have a huge impact on his ability to complete his mission.
So it should never be used if it is not necessary.
"Okay, now I'm going to Jiange, and you can take care of the body."
Chen Lin flipped through the other two lists, put them away and spoke to the old shopkeeper.
He can be regarded as helping the other party solve a big trouble. It is not too much to ask the other party to help. Without him, the other party's teahouse would probably change hands.
"Okay, sir."
Although the old shopkeeper was reluctant, he did not dare to refute.
"You two lead the way."
Chen Lin didn't waste any more time, turned around and gave instructions to the two brothers and sisters.
The two brothers and sisters did not dare to resist.
Whether the two of them can regain their freedom is all in Chen Lin's mind, so he is very obedient.
The three of them left the teahouse.
Jiange.
Luoxian City is not very big. After burning the incense, Chen Lin came to a high tower under the guidance of the two brothers and sisters.
The whole body of the tower is snow white.
There are nine floors in total.
It is located in the center of the city and is also the tallest building in the city. It can be seen that the Jiange's status is higher than that of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Are there any special rules in the Sword Pavilion?"
Chen Lin stopped a hundred feet away.
He looked at the burly man and asked about the situation in detail.
He could sense that this white tower contained a strong danger. Either the white tower itself had a killing array, or there were powerful people inside. No matter which one, he had to be on guard.
"Return to my lord."
The burly brother immediately saluted.
Then he said: "The sword pavilion is stationed by the sword girl's personal guards. They do not interfere in secular affairs and are only responsible for contracts, promotions, punishments and other matters."
There was a pause.
He looked at Chen Lin carefully and said: "As long as you are not carrying a wanted order, you can apply to bind the contract sword. However, once the contract sword is bound, it cannot be released unless the sword girl personally takes action."
Chen Lin frowned.
"With the sword girl's power, are there any wanted criminals who can't be found?"
He was really confused.
Because this scene is not too big.
What is known is four small continents, guarding the central continent in the middle.
The rest of the place is a sea of swords.
As the master, rule maker, and guardian, the sword girl is the same as the guardian. It stands to reason that any disturbance in the entire scene cannot escape the other party's perception.
"Why would the swordswoman care about such a trivial matter?"
The burly man shook his head.
Then he explained: "The Sword Girl never leaves the Sword Lake. She only supervises the world through the Sword Pavilion, and she does not directly manage it. She is only responsible for formulating the rules. Even if there are those who violate the rules, they will only issue a wanted order and let the sword cultivators deal with it."
"So that's it."
Chen Lin showed a look of understanding.
Also a little happy.
The sword girl never leaves the sword lake, which is barely good news for him. This way, he doesn't have to look for the other party's whereabouts. Even if the other party is stuck in its ways, there may be something wrong.
That would be more beneficial.
But when I think of the sword girl's power.
Chen Lin couldn't help but become discouraged again.
At the same time, I secretly complained in my heart.
I don’t know whether the rules of this scene were set by the sword girl or whether the nightmare world was generated by itself.
It's almost like a dead end.
If the task was set by the sword girl, it would be even more outrageous. However, this possibility is very high, because the other party is not a guardian, but has the authority of a guardian. Even the laws of nightmare can be circumvented, and it is impossible to be affected by the rules of the nightmare world.
bondage.
"Since the person in charge of the sword pavilion is the sword girl's personal guard, she must be a woman. What is her temperament like?"
Chen Lin put away his thoughts, looked at the tower and continued to ask.
He felt.
If you want to complete the mission of leaving, the best way is to find a reliable female confidant, let the other party get into the sword girl's side first, and explore the truth first.
There is no difference between going directly and seeking death.
Hearing Chen Lin's inquiry, both brother and sister looked surprised. The younger sister opened her mouth to speak, but her elder brother stopped her with his eyes.
Then the elder brother spoke respectfully.
"My lord, I don't know. Women are not allowed to enter Sword Lake, so the Sword Girl's personal guards are all men."
"All men?"
Chen Lin was stunned.
It took a while before he nodded slightly.
"Okay, I understand, let's go in."
After speaking, he walked forward.
As he walked, he asked, "What are your names?"
"Sir, my name is Lin Qingyuan and my sister's name is Lin Qingyu. They are both ordinary swordsmen. They came from Haiguang City to visit relatives. However, they could not find any relatives and almost lost their lives. Fortunately, you saved me."
"Um."
Chen Lin hummed.
He didn't ask any more questions and started thinking about things in his mind.
Women are not allowed to enter the Sword Lake, and the task of leaving here is to see the sword technique on the opponent's back.
This swordswoman’s intentions are somewhat impure!
But it did clear up his doubts.
I used to think that such a rule was unfair to men, but now it seems that it is the same for women. One is that it is difficult to look at the other person's back, and the other is that it is difficult to enter the other person's place of residence.
Neither one is much better.
While thinking, I came to the entrance of Jiange.
There is a lot of traffic here.
People would come in and out from time to time, but they were basically all wearing sword robes, making the three of them quite attractive.
"Huh?"
At this time, three men in white clothes walked out. When one of them saw Chen Lin, he let out a light sigh.
Chen Lin also saw the other party.
It was the long-faced young man I met at the city gate.
It seems to be called Yao Liuguang.
But he ignored the other party, just glanced at the other party, and walked into the sword pavilion.
"What, do you know Brother Yao?"
Another person with a hooked nose asked with interest.
"I don't know him. I just met him at the city gate when I was picking up things. I saw that he had sword intent and wanted to guard him as a sword servant, but the other party did not accept the challenge."
"Really?"
Aquiline noses are more interesting.
"Then this person is still very cautious. Even Brother Yao, who is known as a challenger to a madman, couldn't find the opponent's loopholes. He is indeed quite capable."
He glanced at the gate of Jiange.
He touched his chin and said: "This person comes here, I don't know if he breaks into the sword pool or binds the sword of the contract. Why don't we wait and see?"
"What do you mean, Brother Xiao also wants to challenge?"
Yao Liuguang raised his eyebrows.
The hook-nosed man smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. We all know Brother Yao's ability to judge people. If Brother Yao can take notice, he must be a good prospect."
"Then it's up to you."
Yao Liuguang spread his hands.
"But if the opponent breaks into the sword pool, he will be a swordsman in white. Brother Xiao must be prepared."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
The hooked nose smiled even more.
"A sword slave at the level of a swordsman is much more valuable than an ordinary swordsman. The opponent has just been promoted, so it is a good time to challenge him."
Yao Liuguang nodded and stopped talking.
The three of them walked not far away and started talking softly while looking at the gate of Jiange.
Chen Lin walked into Jiange.
First there is a main hall, with a total of three passages inside, all of which are guarded.
Above each passage, there is a plaque that reads Sword Deed, Sword Pool, and Sword Spirit respectively. As the name suggests, the places where the three passages lead are responsible for these three affairs.
Based on the exchanges with the Lin family brothers and sisters, Chen Lin has some knowledge of Jiange.
Jianchi is responsible for promotion and punishment.
If you want to become a swordsman in white, you need to enter the sword pool to prove yourself. If you successfully pass the level, you can get your identity. The same goes for the swordsman. Single flowers, double flowers, and triple flowers all need to pass the level in the sword pool.
As for Jian Zong.
If you want to advance through the sword pool, you can only go to the main sword pavilion in the central continent.
The other sword pavilions have no authority.
Sword Contract Passage.
Responsible for all contract matters.
Being able to open a dedicated passage shows the importance of the contract.
As for Sword Spirit.
Not much is known about this Lin family brother and sister.
But it definitely doesn’t mean Qi Ling.
It seems possible to obtain the sword technique, but it is very dangerous and it is said that very few people have succeeded.
The Lin brothers and sisters are just children of a down-and-out family. Although they have family inheritance, their qualifications are average, their inheritance is not very good, and the information they can know is very limited.
"Let's deal with the contract first."
Chen Lin said hello and came to the entrance of the Sword Contract Passage.
Explain your intention.
The gatekeeper immediately said: "Binding the contracted sword requires one hundred sword coins. To cancel the sword servant contract, each person needs ten sword coins. You must pay first before you can enter."
Chen Lin grinned.
I didn’t expect that this would cost money, I had ignored it before.
He took out Chu Fuhu's money bag, opened it and looked at it. There were almost eighty sword coins inside.
Although there is a lot, it is not enough.
In this scene, I didn’t see anything like storage bags. I don’t know if they don’t exist, or they are too precious and cannot be used by ordinary people.
So I couldn't find anything good from Chu Fuhu.
Apart from the money bag, there was also the sword, which was carried on Lin Qingyuan's body.
Chen Lin glanced at the Lin brothers and sisters.
The two siblings immediately understood.
Lin Qingyu stepped forward and handed a money bag to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin opened it and watched.
There were more than forty sword coins in it, which were basically enough, so I took them out and gave them to the guards.
"Okay, you go in."
After counting the sword coins, the guard took out a token and handed it to Chen Lin before releasing it.
Chen Lin took the Lin brothers and sisters and strode into the passage.
It didn't take long.
The three figures reappeared.
The Lin brothers and sisters had relieved smiles on their faces.
"You guys go ahead. I'm going to the sword pond for an assessment. You don't have to wait for me. I'll give you the sword."
Returning to the main hall, Chen Lin waved to the brother and sister.
Then walk towards the sword pool passage. (End of this chapter)
