Chapter 802: Chapter 522: The Lost Sword Tomb_2
Before their eyes, within this vast underground space, there was only a narrow pathway for walking.
Everywhere else, various longswords of different shapes and sizes were haphazardly thrust into the ground, their tips pointed downward.
The collection included large two-handed swords, medium-sized wide-blade swords, broadswords, knight swords, rapiers, and so on, encompassing nearly all types of swords.
At a glance, under the faint illumination of light crystal stones embedded in the surrounding walls, the swords formed a dense, seemingly endless spectacle, grand beyond belief.
It resembled a steel army standing tall on a battlefield, filling the hearts of onlookers with a sense of awe.
Upon closer inspection, Leo Ray noticed that-
There were no dazzling colors on these longswords. Most of them were corroded and mottled, even the blades were covered in rust, giving them a strong sense of antiquity.
“Well, this can only be described as a sword tomb.”
At this moment, the shock on Leo Ray’s face was obvious.
Prior to this, he had already been amazed by the forest of giant axes in the ancient temple of the Titan Giant Tribe.
The sword tomb before him, however, undoubtedly surpassed the former in both quantity and scale.
In astonishment, Leo Ray walked forward and randomly pulled out a mottled knight sword.
Although half of this sword’s blade was embedded in the hard stone ground-
For Leo Ray, who had already reached the Tier 3 peak level, pulling it out was an effortless task.
As soon as the longsword was drawn, debris and dirt splattered from it, and an ancient, long-buried aura rushed towards Leo Ray.
The still-humming blade seemed to recount its own former glory and the fallen master it once served.
Feeling the cold, rough metallic grip, Leo Ray casually opened the sword’s attribute column.
[Name: Damaged Loren Kingdom Knight Sword][Former: Loren Kingdom Standard Guard Knight Sword]
[Grade: Damaged][Former: Tier 2-Excellent (Green)]
[Attack power: Damaged][Former: ★★]
[Additional effect: Damaged][Former: Sharpness ‘Physical penetration increased by 15%’]
[Remark: The standard weapon of the Loren Kingdom’s Royal Guard soldiers. With the fall of the Kingdom, these weapons have vanished into the river of history.]
“The Loren Kingdom? I seem to have heard of this name before.”
As he examined the rusty blade, Leo Ray pondered the name.
Seeing the faintly visible horserider emblem on the hilt of the sword in Leo Ray’s hand, Ariel Watson blurted out, “So this place is an ancient relic of the Loren Kingdom!”
Hearing her words, Leo Ray nodded and motioned for Ariel to elaborate.
“My Lord, the Loren Kingdom was one of the Human Clans that once roamed this land a thousand years ago, located in the same area as our current Coldflame Eastern Region, and of similar size.”
Ariel gracefully stepped over to Leo Ray’s side.
For her, who grew up receiving the most elite education since childhood, the history and culture of this land for the three thousand years after the Era of Blankness were deeply ingrained in her mind.
“Yes, Linda and Mason Banks have mentioned it a few times. It is said that it was an ancient kingdom that highly valued knightly spirit, and ultimately fell in a war of annihilation a thousand years ago.”
Listened to Ariel’s explanation, Leo Ray’s hazy memory suddenly clarified, and he said thoughtfully.
“My Lord is correct. In that battle, the Loren Kingdom’s Royal Capital and the last hundred thousand soldiers were all destroyed by the formidable magic and iron hooves of the enemy alliance.”
Nodding in response to Leo Ray, Ariel explained further, “In the end, only ruins and countless corpses were left, becoming a feast for the crows.”
“It’s now clear, after the fall of the Loren Kingdom, the nearly four hundred years of chaos that followed on this land officially began, right?”
As he once again plunged the knight sword back into the crevice it occupied earlier, causing the corroded blade to emit a low hum, Leo Ray nodded and said, “Although the countries that formed the alliance destroyed the Loren Kingdom together, internal conflicts arose in the absence of their common goal.”
“Yes, it was not until the appearance of Hero King Caesar, the first-generation ruler of Coldflame Kingdom, and my ancestor, that the chaos ceased and he established the Coldflame Kingdom, bringing peace back to this war-torn land.”
On the other side, Ariel bowed slightly, then continued speaking.
“Now that everything is clear, let’s continue.”
Leo Ray nodded, dusting off the remnants of dirt and rust from his hands before taking another step forward.
Next, in the Lost Sword Tomb Area filled with longswords, they proceeded along the narrow passage.
After about six or seven minutes, a new pathway appeared in front of Leo Ray and his party.
During the journey, he noticed-
All the other swords of varying sizes here were at Tier Second. Due to severe corrosion, they were unable to be upgraded and naturally had no value.
“My Lord, the forging chamber is just ahead.”
At this moment, Red Night, who was leading the group, turned back and introduced.
“Very well.”
