"This... Is this the sword of oath?!"


    In Lingfeng castle, after hearing Arthur''s description of Mr. ilu, he was staring at the sword on the desk beside him in surprise.


    The bachelor''s reaction made Arthur happy and asked, "master ilu, do you know the origin of this sword?"


    At the moment, Arthur is full of questions waiting for the other party to answer.


    Last night, it was dark after he returned to the fortress, so the party rested in the fortress for a night. When he returned to the castle this morning, he immediately asked someone to call Mr. ilu.


    Sure enough, the old scholar in front of him must know something.


    "This..."


    Arthur''s question made the bachelor suddenly embarrassed. His raised right arm trembled slightly and looked down at the sharp blade on the table.


    He shook his head and slowly opened his mouth with the shaking of his beard on his face: "it shouldn''t exist. I always thought it was just a distant legend recorded by Xuecheng. Maybe I wanted to change. How could it be the sword of oath? No, it shouldn''t be..."


    Staring at the sword on the table, Mr. ilu seemed to mutter to himself, and his old face showed a look of doubt and surprise.


    The old scholar''s reaction made Arthur and others on one side inexplicable. Therefore, he became more and more curious about the origin of the sharp blade in front of him.


    "Master ilu," Arthur asked, "what is the sword of oath? There are legends. I''ve never heard of it."


    On one side, Thorne and Leah also looked at Mr. ilu curiously, waiting for his answer.


    The old bachelor didn''t seem to hear Arthur''s question. He hung his head, stared at the sword on the table, and kept shaking his head to himself.


    "Master ilu?" Arthur called softly as he looked at the bewildered bachelor. His curiosity was like a cat scratching.


    "My Lord!" the bachelor suddenly turned to stare at Arthur, "can you pick it up and let me have a closer look? If it is really that sword, it will emit different colors in the sun!"


    "Master ilu, didn''t I just tell you that this sword is true."


    The old bachelor insisted, "I want to see it with my own eyes, otherwise I can''t confirm whether it''s the sword!"


    Arthur nodded, reached out his hand, grabbed the sword, stood it on his chest, turned his wrist and said, "you need to look at it from different angles to see different colors."


    With Arthur''s arm shaking, Mr. ilu murmured to himself and whispered the colors on the blade.


    After a while, Arthur took the sword away from his eyes and asked, "how, can you confirm the origin of the sword now?"


    "Don''t worry, don''t worry." he put down his trembling arm and hid it in his wide sleeve robe. Mr. ilu tried to maintain his inner peace. "Sir, can you tell me where you found it and how you got it?"


    "North!" Arthur said truthfully, "the world north of sharp blade fortress, a town in the Great Rift Valley."


    "How did you get to the north of the mountains?" the bachelor immediately asked.


    "Well... I''ll check the situation! Winter is coming. I want to know the situation of Warcraft north of the mountains. Thorne and the Knights are with me."


    The old bachelor turned and looked aside. Thorne, with a heavy complexion, could only nod helplessly.


    "You''re too adventurous, too adventurous!" the old scholar said excitedly. "To the north of the mountains is the world of Warcraft. It''s freezing in winter. You shouldn''t set foot on that land!


    Leah on one side also showed worry and fear, and said to Thorne strangely, "Lord Thorne, you should stop adults."


    The old scholar also scolded: "yes, how can you let the count get into danger? Don''t you know the power of those Warcraft?"


    "Don''t worry, I won''t risk easily in the future." Arthur interrupted quickly.


    The reason why he didn''t tell Leah and others was that he didn''t want to cause unnecessary worry and trouble. Unexpectedly, he let Thorne carry the pot.


    "Master ilu, let''s talk about the origin of this sword. Is it the sword of oath you said?"


    The old scholar was silent, turned his head and looked at the long sword on the table with complex eyes. After a moment, he nodded slowly: "no one has seen the oath sword, but according to the description in the ancient records of Xuecheng, this sword is likely to be the oath sword."


    "Can you tell me more about this sword and the legend in your mouth?" asked Arthur.


    After another silence, Mr. ilu looked at Arthur and said, "Sir, since you have been to the town in the canyon, you must already know something. Can you tell me about the scene of that town?"


    "Master ilu, you should answer my question first."


    From the bachelor''s eyes and careful reaction, Arthur had a bad feeling. The legend of the oath sword may not be a good story.


    Mr. ilu thought for a moment, looked at Arthur and said, "the legend of the oath sword is too old. Even if you study the city, few people know it, no more than three at most. If the legend is correct, the town you go to in the canyon should be called miatiris, which is one of the twelve ancient cities in the legend."


    "Miatiris..." Arthur whispered. "Do you mean that there are eleven towns like that in the world north of the mountains?"


    Arthur couldn''t help thinking of the gold medals he had brought back.


    "Yes," said the bachelor slowly, "it is said that a long time ago, all mankind lived in the land north of the Tunguska mountains, where people cultivated, hunted, built cities and multiplied. Because of the barrier of the Tunguska mountains, the south of the mountains is still an undiscovered world."


    Arthur nodded. Human ancestors in distant times probably regarded the Tungus mountains as the boundary of the world.


    "And then?" Arthur looked curious. Thorne and Leah, who were beside them, also looked forward to Mr. ilu.


    "Then..." Mr. ilu paused, looking into the memory of distant accounts, and continued for a long time, "Then the temperature is getting lower and lower, the world is white, crops are not growing, animals die in groups, hungry humans and Warcraft begin to look for everything that can feed and keep out the cold, but this is not the disaster itself, cold, hunger is just a prelude to the disaster."


    The arms of master ilu hiding in his sleeve robe began to tremble with excitement: "When the world was shrouded in cold and the howling wind kept on for months, everyone lived around the fire pile and resisted the crazy Warcraft. However, in such a bad environment, the terrible creatures in the depths of the earth began to recover. They poured into the earth, coerced the cold, spread death and ate all other fresh life..."


    "Wait!" Arthur, who listened intently, suddenly interrupted Mr. ilu. "You mean the terrible creatures under the ground? The disaster is not those Warcraft?"
