"Spear, that spear is strange …"
Someone shouted in a low voice. The space beside the spear in Scarlet's hand shattered like glass, revealing the original appearance of the Azure Spear. The body of the spear was as green as an emerald. Two streaks of lightning intertwined, drawing a bright arc along the long blade. It sent Johann's body flying, bringing with it a string of filthy blood. It was as if the air was still and frozen. The nobles of Cruz subconsciously shut their mouths. The spear from before was seen differently in everyone's eyes, but everyone clearly saw the spear pierce through the Lines of Law. Although Johann's sword did indeed block Scarlet's spear, the spear pierced Johann's chest from another world, as if the two had crossed each other.
This scene had been repeatedly sung in the Pale Poem.
The creation myth that originated from Cruz —
Beyond the Spear of Earthly Age.
"This is master's spear technique," Ovina said proudly. Ovina said proudly, "The purpose of its existence is to break the established order and bring a brand new future to this world." But she saw Scarlet open her eyes and stare blankly at her hand, as if she was still reminiscing about the spear from before. Ovina couldn't help but feel lonely. "Unfortunately, for you, you still don't understand the greatness of it. It has never existed in the past, it is unique."
"I, I still don't quite understand …" Scarlet frowned. She still couldn't understand what had happened in that moment. She only felt that the Azure Spear in her hand seemed to have torn through some established law, brutally and unreasonably hitting a target that should have been impossible to hit. In fact, even this feeling was vague to her. It was as if she had stabbed and killed the enemy, but it felt like luck.
Ovina suddenly noticed the mountain girl's confused expression and realized that she was playing the lute to a cow. She sighed and had to cut to the chase. "Let's put it this way. Generally speaking, whether an attack hits or not depends on the judgment of the attacker, but the key factors are nothing more than strength and balance. This is a set of established rules, just like when two people are playing a game. Back and forth are all within the rules of the game, but the Azure Spear's spear technique breaks these rules. The rules of the mortal world no longer apply to it. Its attacks follow a set of self-contained laws. This set of laws has a higher priority than the normal 'rules of the game', so when mortals dodge under normal rules, they will never be able to dodge the Azure Spear's attack."
The nobles of Cruz were still recovering from their shock, so Ovina had to speed up her speech. Scarlet noticed this and struggled to retract her spear. She also resumed a defensive posture, but she still asked, "What … is that law?"
Ovina's voice was resolute.
"Effect first, then cause."
Babarn finally reacted, but he would rather not react for the rest of his life, because that feeling was like someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head, freezing him all the way to the soles of his feet. Erouine's people had unearthed the Azure Spear from beneath Ampere Seale and then handed it over to the Bugas. This was something that could not be hidden, so Princess Gryphine had never tried to hide it. In fact, in order to divert the blame, she had taken the initiative to spread the news under Brando's suggestion. And it was hard not to notice the name Count Tónigel in the whole process. After all, Brando was the brightest star in the battle of Ampere Seale, and in an instant, the Holy Lance of Heaven was unearthed from beneath the city. If he said that it had nothing to do with him, it would only arouse suspicion.
Beyond the Lance of Earth, this name was mentioned repeatedly in the Pale Poem. Mythology said that it could pierce through the world, and even ignore the laws. This scene happened right before their eyes, and coupled with Scarlet's identity, and everything that happened between Erouine's people and the Bugas, if Babarn still did not understand that he, like the other Cruz people, had been played by the Bugas and Brando, then he really was a fool.
But after he understood this point, he immediately understood another point. Since this great secret had been exposed in front of him, then could they still leave here alive?
He could not help but look at the others, and saw the fear and greed in everyone's eyes. "Even now, they're still thinking of snatching the Azure Lance!" Babarn only needed a glance to understand that his colleagues had already guessed the origin of the lance in Scarlet's hand, and even if there were one or two who had not yet reacted, they should have guessed something by looking at the faces of the others. But the greed in people's hearts still shocked him, but once this idea came into his mind, it was like a wildfire that completely burned away his rationality. That was the most brilliant gem in the Pale Poem, a real divine weapon from the last era, a lance that pierced through the sky and brought about an era, the weapon of the Azure Knight. If he could take it, then would he also become the king of the world?
But Babarn still retained a trace of rationality, and understood that the divine weapon was not something that everyone could afford. It was impossible for him to monopolize this ancient sacred object, after all, the reputation of the Azure Lance was too great. The Wind Elves, the people of Cruz, the people of Fanzin, who did not covet it? Even the Silver Folk like the Bugas may be tempted. Although the attitude of the Dragon Clan was unknown, judging from their greedy nature, they would not give up easily. None of these forces were people that he could afford to offend. But Babarn understood that he still had a choice, and that was to offer the Azure Lance to His Majesty the Emperor.
Once this idea came into his mind, it could not be stopped, and he felt more and more that this was the best choice. He could not help but lower his voice and say to the others, "Everyone, I'm sure you've already seen what it is. The conspiracy of Veronica and Count Tónigel has now been exposed before our eyes. Success or failure, it all depends on this move."
When the others heard Babarn say this, they could not help but be slightly startled and looked at him with some surprise. However, these were the best of the best among the nobles. They immediately reacted, and some were even surprised. Initially, they had no choice but to kidnap Scarlet to frame Veronica. But now, after hearing Babarn's words, they felt like they had unintentionally planted a willow in the shade. The Azure Lance was right in front of them, who would believe that Veronica did not know about it? Even if it was possible, as the highest-ranking officer in this group, it was a dereliction of duty for them to discover this secret instead of her. Moreover, with such a valuable gift, presumably His Majesty would not be too hard on them.
The biggest possibility was that not only would he not be hard on them, but he would also reward everyone greatly. At that time, as the heroes who brought the Azure Lance back to the Empire, even if the Cecil family wanted revenge, it would not be so easy. Even if it was done well, the Cecil family would only vent their anger on Veronica, as the Cecil family and the Ashric family were sworn enemies. At the thought of this, all the Kirrlutzian nobles couldn't help but breathe heavily. They looked at Scarlet with fear, but now there was only fanaticism left, like red-eyed gamblers.
"Viscount Babarn is right, with such a big secret, she will not let us go easily. Whether you want to live or die, it all depends on this gamble."
"Don't talk nonsense, we all know that. Everyone, together." A Kirrlutzian noble replied in a gruff voice. It was not his original voice, but it sounded too nervous.
Scarlet took a step back. "They seem to have found the Azure Lance." She frowned and whispered to Ovina.
"What's the big deal, just kill them. Dead people can keep secrets," Ovina answered nonchalantly. Ovina answered nonchalantly. Clearly, she had thought of this when she unleashed that spear technique. She also understood that for Scarlet, it would not be a good thing for the Azure Lance to be exposed. After all, the Highlander girl was too weak.
Scarlet listened to Ovina's words and did not say anything, only nodding.
Freya might have been hesitant to kill without hesitation, but for Scarlet, it was not something she could not accept. She was a mercenary herself, and the experience and experience she had over the past few days had made her more mature. She no longer had any illusions about her enemies. Scarlet was even a little upset now. If she had not rescued Babarn from under the ice, then there would not be so many things happening now. She thought that perhaps she should not have been so kind to outsiders. The only one who could respond with gentleness was the Lord.
She raised her spear, as if whether or not she could defeat her opponents was still a question worthy of discussion. But after Ovina showed her that spear, the enemies before her were nothing but ashes.
On the other side of the battle, the nobles were like red-eyed hyenas, driven by greed to draw their swords again. Sometimes, people's hearts were just that crazy. Even if they knew that they were headed for destruction, they could not help but fight for their own interests. As long as the interests were significant enough, even to the point of driving people crazy, then they would truly go crazy. Both sides of the battle entered the battle with the confidence that they would win.
It was a fierce battle.
From the moment Scarlet held the real Azure Lance, her aura had changed. In fact, it was no longer her fighting, or rather, Ovina fighting – it was a lance that transcended the mortal world. In the eyes of normal people, the concept of battle was no longer applicable to what was happening before their eyes. To be precise, it was a one-sided massacre. The Azure Lance was above the rules of the law. Defense was nothing to it, because it was going to hit, so it hit.
The process of the spear's strike was now a complement to the final result. Because the blade of the spear tore through the human body, the whole world had to reluctantly add a process that happened halfway so that it would not look so abrupt. Scarlet held the spear, retreated two steps, and thrust the spear forward. At that moment, the Cruz noble seemed to have voluntarily delivered himself to the blade of the spear. With a look of despair and disbelief, he met the attack head-on and was then pierced through.
Scarlet's expression did not change. She threw the corpse off the spear and turned around to slash. The other Cruz noble beside her raised his sword to block, but unfortunately, the magic sword was cut like tofu by the Azure Lance. Then the blade of the spear cut into his shoulder. Blood splattered, as if everything was as it should be.
In just a moment, the situation on the battlefield was decided.
Babarn and the only remaining Cruz noble retreated with pale faces. Until this moment, they understood why the Azure Lance could occupy such a position in the creation epic of the Cruz people. Therefore, this was indeed a gift from the heavens to this world. It should not exist in this world, but because of a special mission, it had to lead the mortals to bring a new page to this world.
This was the holy lance that transcended the mortal world.
… …
The cabin was shaking. Babarn drank a mouthful of water, but still felt his throat dry. He omitted some of the process in his description, but the whole process was still thrilling in his description. The light in the cabin was a little dim. Because it was not a first-class cabin, the space was damp and narrow. At first glance, it looked like a 'cage' where the sailors lived. There were a few hammocks in the barrel-shaped cabin, and three people were sitting on the hammocks. Babarn, Boymer, and another noble who was also wearing a beautiful coat. The three of them did not look like people who should be in such a low-class cabin, but now they did not look uncomfortable at all.
In fact, they did not dare to feel uncomfortable.
Viscount Bernie sat opposite Babarn. He was the special envoy of the queen who secretly accompanied the diplomatic group. He originally had a special mission, but now he had to go back with the ship first, and did not even have time to set foot on Erouine's land. However, he did not have the slightest complaint, and only felt lucky. Fortunately, he did not inform Erouine of his presence before he came, or else it would have aroused suspicion. But if he was not here, he would not be at ease with the 'thing' on the ship.
After all, it was too important.
After listening to Babarn's description, he subconsciously did the same thing as the other party. He picked up the cup and took a sip. The cup was filled with watered down rum. This terrible thing was now like a sweet spring in their throats. Even after taking a sip, they still felt their throats were a little dry.
He sat silently for a moment, and then asked, "And then, why didn't she kill you, and, how did she become like this?"
Babarn's face turned green and white, and cold sweat covered his forehead. Opposite him, Boymer was not much better, and both of them looked like they were seriously ill. The former was still in shock, and only after a long while did he answer.
"Because of the explosion …"
"Explosion?"
After all, Viscount Bernie didn't experience that battle, so he recovered faster than the other two. Soon, he returned to normal and frowned at the two who were battered and exhausted. He wanted to reprimand them, but decided against it after some thought. After all, that battle was chilling even to him, not to mention experiencing it himself. More than thirty Gold-tier nobles were killed in an instant, and that happened in a battle between two people of the same rank. Of course, he did not know that Babarn was lying, and pushed all the blame on Scarlet and Brando. He thought for a moment, and said softly, "Explain it clearly, when the time comes, Her Majesty will ask about it clearly."
Babarn looked at the viscount with some gratitude. Viscount Bernie was from the House of Palut, and was a close vassal of the Queen. The viscount's attitude made him feel a little flattered, but it also confirmed his thoughts. Her Majesty had long coveted the Azure Lance. He secretly felt that he might have made the right bet, and as he calmed down, he slowly answered, "She did intend to kill us at that time, but because of something that happened suddenly, it was interrupted."
"Was it an explosion?"
Viscount Bernie asked, frowning, thinking about what kind of explosion could stop the Azure Lance. But all of a sudden, an inexplicable look of surprise appeared on his face. Babarn and Boymer, who were sitting in their hammocks, saw the viscount suddenly stand up in agitation. His face was red as he paced around the narrow cabin a few times before he seemed to catch his breath. He stopped and turned around, patted Babarn on the shoulder, and said loudly, "My lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord.
"It was an explosion! So that's it, the explosion in the Deadly Tundra had something to do with the Azure Lance, so it makes sense. Viscount Babarn, tell me in detail, what exactly happened at that time. "
Viscount Bernie said excitedly, but suddenly realized that his tone seemed to be a little too strong. Although the two people in front of him had no status at the moment, they might be favored by Her Majesty in the future, so he quickly changed his tone and said, "You should know the purpose of my trip, Her Majesty is very concerned about this explosion."
Babarn nodded, but answered a little awkwardly.
"That explosion … Actually, I can't say how it happened …"
"Wait, is it related to the Azure Lance?" Viscount Bernie could not wait to interrupt him.
Babarn looked at the viscount suspiciously, not understanding why he was always so hung up on this question, but he still shook his head honestly. "I don't know, maybe not, but I can't say for sure. But one thing is for sure, the explosion came from behind us. At that time, I felt a strong light and roar, and because the explosion happened so suddenly, I didn't know what happened at that time. I only felt the ground shake, and then the whole world fell into a blazing white. If you don't believe me, you can ask Boymer, he had the same experience as me. "
Boymer's face was pale, and he hurriedly nodded with lingering fear.
Viscount Bernie looked back at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "And then?"
"And then? Then I vaguely heard an unfamiliar woman's voice saying, 'Damn it, this is … Be careful, I'll protect you!' But I can't guarantee that I heard this voice, it was very loud at the time, I could have been hallucinating. "Babarn replied.
"No, Lord Viscount, in fact, I heard it too." At this time, Boymer hurriedly replied.
Viscount Bernie nodded, and frowned. "So, at that time, you were actually near the center of the explosion, but you all survived, right?"
Babarn looked troubled.
He hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
