Chapter 70

Even in this dilapidated and dim environment, the gorgeous long sword is still shining like a filter.

Leaving aside the value of the gold and gemstones, the decoration and overall shape of the long sword, even from the perspective of a layman, has amazing craftsmanship.

Every inch of the curve is incomparably beautiful and appropriate, and it is a seamless one. Even the scabbard is carved with similar patterns, and a black crystal is inlaid in the center of the cross-shaped sword lattice.

Overall, the shape of this sword is not too exaggerated.

The body of the sword is about 1.3 meters by visual inspection, which is still within the range of a normal two-handed sword. The sword grid is not that very exaggerated pattern, and the cross shape can even be said to be quite satisfactory.

But the workmanship and decoration is a bit too much.

Although Lin Jie doesn't have a particularly professional appraisal vision, the exquisiteness of this sword can be seen with the naked eye. With such a level of craftsmanship, even gold-plated and artificial gemstones are also valuable.

Under normal circumstances, no one would use such a sword to fight, right?

If this is accidentally bumped...

Lin Jie looked at the gleaming long sword on the counter, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

This... I really want you to hand over your inner troubles and burdens to me, but what are you trying to do by giving me such a precious sword?

This is your decision?

what decision?

Lin Jie looked up at Joseph's expression again, the old man's eyes were full of determination and relief.

Suddenly thoughtful.

This doesn't seem like a joke. Judging from the current contact, Joseph is not a person who knows how to joke.

As for Lin Jie's previous proposal, handing over the long sword to him should be Joseph's answer.

And from the unusual exquisiteness of this sword, it can be judged that this is not a practical weapon, or a weapon with little practicality.

It's more like some sort of ritual sword.

Then, the meaning of this sword may symbolize Joseph's previous military experience, responsibility and honor.

Lin Jie couldn't help but think of Melissa. Although this brat is a brat, but judging from his appearance and demeanor, he couldn't be raised by an ordinary family. Joseph also had very strict requirements on Melissa.

From this point of view, I feel that Joseph may be from a military family, and has even won some honorary titles.

This can also explain where his strong sense of justice comes from.

Just because he is a retired soldier, he may not be able to have such an attachment, but if it is taught by his family since he was a child, then it is completely reasonable.

Although as far as Lin Jie knew, the nobles living in the central district of NUO Gold were all in name only, but even so, their social status was still higher than ordinary rich people.

It is undeniable that these aristocratic families have a long history and past glory.

Now Joseph is assuming that he is going to hand over the sword to Lin Jie. This means that he intends to let go of it completely, right?

Out of caution and respect, Lin Jie cleared his throat and asked seriously: "Are you sure? Your decision to give this sword to me? This is your inheritance, right? Do you not think about it anymore?"

"Sure."

Joseph nodded, looked at the long sword in front of him, and said: "You are right, I really have more energy than I want, even if it is inheritance, I am no longer qualified to continue, and I should learn to let it go. A sword is too heavy for me, or any of us to bear."

"You can take it over and we can't thank you enough."

The curse on the magic sword gathered the huge resentment of the entire lost elf kingdom, and even the gods were helpless.

They suppressed it again and again, and they all ended in failure.

However, because of the beliefs and dogmas that the Secret Ritual Pagoda upholds, he has always refused to give up. Now he finally sees the facts clearly. The Elder Xi also admitted his failure and chose to agree to his transfer request.

Lin Jie sighed, it seems that this is another family that has gone downhill.

And he should have found a new way out in the future, so he resolutely handed over the sword to him to show his determination.

But this is also a matter of course, even more real than Doris who lost her status because she lost the meaning of the complete family crest.

After all, Azir no longer has any wars, and other nobles are still in decline, let alone a hereditary military family like Joseph.

If you want to continue to survive, you must find another way out.

But he was so polite in giving things, it really made him feel a little embarrassed to treat both father and daughter not long ago... ahem...

Lin Jie smiled, and stretched out his hand to pick up the long sword to have a look: "Hey, you don't have to be so polite, helping customers is my habitual hobby, and I feel very happy to be able to help you."

Hmm...it feels a lot lighter than I imagined.

It was indeed a ritual sword.

Lin Jie nodded secretly, and looked at the long sword from the beginning to the end against the light. The more he looked, the more he was amazed by the details.

Joseph watched the owner of the bookstore pick up the magic sword Candela effortlessly, even holding the hilt of the sword with one hand and supporting the body of the sword with fingers with the other hand, and couldn't help but twitched. It's a bit hard to pick it up...

Although it looks the same length as an ordinary sword, in fact, the material of this sword is all from the dream, and its weight is even at his level of destruction. If you only use your body without ether, it will be a bit difficult to hold it with one hand.

And until now, the owner of the bookstore has no ether fluctuations.

Joseph could already see the "magic eye" on the sword surging with evil magic energy, and the tumbling darkness under the crystal surface, eager to choose someone to devour.

"It's so beautiful!"

Lin Jie praised without hesitation.

Probably no matter cold weapon or hot weapon, it is the romance brought by the fighting desire flowing in the man's blood.

He also has a love for this elegant long sword in his heart, and couldn't help suggesting: "Mind if I pull it out and have a look?"

"..."

Joseph's heart jumped violently, the curse of the magic sword was mainly on the blade.

Kendela, the Elven King who went mad because he was infected by the plague, committed suicide with this sword in the end.

Like a wedge, the sword crucified Candela and imprisoned his soul forever in the sword.

And this sword didn't actually have a scabbard at first.

The current scabbard was actually added later by the Secret Ritual Tower, and it has the effect of restraining the spread of the curse. Once it is pulled out, the curse will first attack the sword holder. If the will is not strong enough, it may go crazy on the spot.

Even the glorious knights must be fully armed before they are allowed to touch this magic sword.

but……

After all, the person in front of him was the owner of the bookstore.

Joseph nodded: "Of course...you can be careful."

Lin Jie nodded, of course he would be careful, it would be bad if he got cut.

Then he slowly pulled out the long sword.

"bass--"

Like a flowing white flame.

The entire bookstore was instantly illuminated. This mirror-like long sword was thin and sharp, shining with dazzling brilliance, and an unknown language was engraved on it.

However, Joseph saw the black magic energy like venom spewing out from the long sword instantly.
