The difficulty of this mission surprised Li Huailin a little. He thought he was going to attend a banquet or something, but it turned out to be an AA-level hidden mission. It was only a little less difficult than the S-level quest to find the Divine Sword. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a simple mission like drinking some wine and chatting.
To be on the safe side, Li Huailin considered the possible scenarios and asked, "Who will guard the Legendary Sword after we leave?"
This was the only thing that Li Huailin could think of. Perhaps after he and Issac left, someone would come to steal the Legendary Sword. As the guardian of the Legendary Sword, he would naturally have to retrieve the Legendary Sword immediately. That was why the mission was so difficult. This was the most likely scenario that Li Huailin could think of.
"Oh, about that." Issac nodded. "It seems like you're used to your identity. It's good to be vigilant at all times. But you don't have to worry about this. Before we leave, I will set up a magic barrier here that will basically prevent anyone from approaching the Legendary Sword. Of course, this barrier has a time limit. As it consumes a lot of Mana, it can only last for eight hours at most. Of course, we won't spend that much time attending the banquet. Once the duration is over, we will be able to return."
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded. It turned out that there were still precautions. "But basically, it can be stopped. In other words, there's still a situation where it can't be stopped?"
"Yes." Ishak nodded. "In fact, there are some anti-magic items that can break this enchantment, so it's not very safe. Generally speaking, we won't use this enchantment. Of course, for safety's sake, this enchantment is connected to us guardians. Once there's a problem here, we'll be able to sense it immediately and use this teleportation scroll to return here."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. The security system was pretty good. However, if there really was a System Plot, it probably wouldn't be able to stop it. After thinking about it, Li Huailin felt that the temptation of knowing the location of all the Legendary Swords was relatively huge. The worst case scenario was that he failed the mission and an unknown person obtained the Legendary Sword. Was this a bad thing for Li Huailin? Li Huailin pondered for a moment. If someone obtained the Divine Sword, then he might not be the first target of the Guardian of the Divine Sword. It might even be a good thing for him.
"I understand. Three days later, right? I'll be there." Thinking of this, Li Huailin nodded his head.
System Notification: You have accepted the AA-rank Hidden Quest, Gathering of the Divine Sword Guardians.
Quest objective: Follow Ishak to the gathering of the Divine Sword Guardians.
Quest reward: 300,000 experience, 50 gold coins, 200 reputation points, and a special reward.
"Yes." Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Issac nodded. "Don't be late. I'll wait for you here at noon three days later and we'll set off together."
"Okay, got it." Li Huailin nodded. Because his last match in the professional league was four days later, it wouldn't conflict with the mission here. Since Ishak said that the barrier would only last for eight hours, it meant that he should be able to complete the mission within eight hours. Based on this calculation, he shouldn't be left behind.
"Sigh … I don't have much time left. I have to hurry up. If I miss this gathering, I don't know if I can wait for the next one." After speaking, Ishak sighed and looked much older than before.
"We don't have much time left. How much longer do we have?" Li Huailin asked.
"About, a year." Ishak wasn't guarded against Li Huailin at all. His Favorability level was really high, so he casually revealed such secret matters. "So within this year, I plan to hand over all the work here to you. After the gathering, I will officially confirm your identity."
"Hehe." Li Huailin laughed again. He really didn't want to be a guardian in a tragedy.
"It's also a coincidence. Fortunately, I met you in the last year when I couldn't hold on any longer. Otherwise, I could only ask them to help me find an heir." Ishak said.
"By the way, since I'm the heir here, I should also understand the history of the Guardians of the Excalibur, right?" Li Huailin took advantage of this topic to gather information. "You can tell me now. I have time now."
"The history of the Excalibur?" Ishak was slightly taken aback. Then, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not very clear about this."
"Eh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback.
"For as long as I can remember, I've been doing all kinds of training. I was raised by my master. It was said that I was an orphan that no one wanted, so in order to find an heir, my master raised me. I only found out about the Guardian of the Divine Sword later on. Because of my master, I've been doing it. I didn't care much about the organization's affairs," Ishak said.
"Mm. I see. "Li Huailin nodded." What about the Excalibur? "
"Excalibur?" Ishak paused for a moment. "I'm not very clear about the Excalibur. But my master said that the Excalibur must not appear. Otherwise, it will cause a bloody storm. My master was right. Did you know that a Excalibur appeared a hundred years ago?"
"Oh?" Of course, Li Huailin immediately knew that Ishak was talking about the incident with the Undead Emperor. Of course, he didn't interrupt and listened to the Excalibur's explanation.
"At that time, I hadn't officially become a member of the Excalibur. I was still training. My master also participated in the operation to retrieve the Excalibur. However, the power of the Excalibur was too strong. Even my master was severely injured. According to him, he didn't help much. In the end, he had to rely on another Excalibur to suppress the power of the Excalibur," Ishak said.
"In other words, two Excalibur appeared?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Ishak nodded. "Of course, it wasn't the one that I was guarding."
"Which two?" Li Huailin immediately asked.
"Oh, it's the Death Sword, Gloom, or Groom, and the Heavenly Sword, Enlightenment." As well as the Heavenly Sword's Enlightenment, or the Gate of Intersect, "Ishak replied.
"Heavenly Sword … Enlightenment …" Li Huailin repeated. This Excalibur was probably the target of the Divine World. At the very least, he knew the name of the item that he was looking for. The Divine World probably didn't know about it yet.
"Speaking of which, the Death Sword, Gloom, is the most dangerous of the six Excalibur. However, it's so difficult to guard it. Ordinary creatures can't even get close to it. Only the Undead can stay by its side. When it first appeared, it was because the Excalibur Guardian that was guarding it had died. However, the news hadn't spread yet, resulting in a gap in the handover. That's why it was stolen," Ishak said. "So, although it's dangerous now, we still go to check on the situation with Gloom every once in a while."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. No wonder the Divine World would encounter the Excalibur Guardians. It turned out that they were there to check on the situation.
"Hmm … If that's the case …" Li Huailin suddenly realized another problem. Although the Excalibur Guardians might not know that Gloom had disappeared, when the gathering started, everyone would definitely know about it. Perhaps they would immediately send people to look for it. This would be troublesome for Li Huailin.
Fortunately, no one knew that the item was in his hands. According to the current news on the continent, they would probably find out that the Undead now had a new leader called Wocha, and that Gloom was in his hands. Based on the situation that Ishak had mentioned, the Excalibur Guardians probably wouldn't attack recklessly. After all, they knew that the Excalibur Guardians were not to be trifled with. They would probably observe for a while. If that was the case, Li Huailin should reduce the amount of time he appeared as Wocha from now on to avoid getting into trouble.
Now that Gloom was in his backpack, Li Huailin looked at Ishak, who didn't seem to notice the sword at all. In that case, Li Huailin felt that there should be no problem if he attended the meeting carefully. Besides, he could also learn about the Excalibur Guardians' deployment and other information. He might even be able to participate in the operation to retrieve the Excalibur Guardians. Of course, if it was possible, Li Huailin would increase the favorability of all the other Excalibur Guardians (as for the method, you should know). Or he could directly activate a halo at the meeting and burn all of them to death. As for the specifics, it would depend on the situation. In that case, Li Huailin felt that it was even more necessary to attend this meeting.
After that, Li Huailin chatted with Ishak for a while. Although Ishak thought that he was just chatting idly, Li Huailin did hear a lot of information that he didn't know. Ishak looked like an old man, and he basically talked about things that happened when he was young. It was also because he trusted Li Huailin, so he didn't have any misgivings and chatted happily.
As they chatted, it was getting late. Li Huailin sorted out the information he collected and got up to leave.
"Don't forget about noon three days later," Ishak said again. "I can't be late. If you're late, I'll go alone."
"I got it." Li Huailin nodded again.
