The Mighty Sword of Legend

Chapter 4

He did not notice this at all and continued speaking as if he was on his own. "The records of this book are all in ancient texts. Honestly speaking, it's a little hard to explain. The gist of it is that this tower was witnessed by the battle between an angel and a demon a long time ago. It contains a terrifying demon sealed in the sacred relic of the Angel Michael and so on. There were some descriptions of the tower's appearance in the book, but back then, I searched all of the geology and historical data but found no record of its location. Although I was extremely interested in these things, I was unable to find any information about it and decided to ignore them later on. At the time, I thought that it could have been the work of the ancients." He looked rather excited about this matter and there was a smile on his face. He did not notice the surprise in the eyes of the two people beside him.

"It seems that I have the same destination as you." Han Wenyue chimed in.

"Oh?" She looked at Han Wenyue in surprise, and then made a sudden expression. "I almost forgot that you are very interested in metaphysics."

Han Wenyue said with an apologetic smile, "I didn't come this time because I took a task and wanted to go there to do one thing. In fact, the client only told me that this tower was located about 150 kilometers east of a village called Hanmo and refused to provide other information. At this time, I received your invitation and took a lift."

Han Wenyue smiled at the same time. Han Wenyue's job was quite special. As a gentleman, of course, she would not be impolite enough to ask about the background behind.

Han Wenyue then said, "Originally, I planned to leave after arriving in Hanmo, because the client once said that there was a certain degree of danger in this job. But seeing that you are well prepared, it seems that my worries are unnecessary."

"Sir, how did you find this tower?" Zhao Zhiqiu suddenly asked. Although his words were very polite, his tone seemed to always be cold, with a feeling of being thousands of miles away from people.

It was clear that he didn't care about these things at all. After thinking for a bit, he replied, "It was accidentally taken by a commercial satellite. It's not an exaggeration to say that the function of this satellite is not much inferior to that of a spy satellite. However, there are some places that I found strange. In the past, there weren't any strange things that were taken in this region at all. As a result, some time ago, I suddenly saw a blurry picture, and I could vaguely see that it was that high tower. It seemed to be in the center of a small town. It might be a ruin, right?"

Zhao Zhiqiu lowered his head and pondered over something. After a moment, he said, "It's because the power of Michael's sword is getting weaker and weaker." His voice was not loud, as if he was speaking to himself or to the two people next to him.

"Miluo's sword?!" Han Wenyue shouted almost at the same time as she had called out, but her tone was one of doubt. Han Wenyue, on the other hand, was shocked. Her voice was much louder as well.

Han Wenyue's voice startled everyone in the car. Jack and Kelvin, who were behind him, immediately looked at him. Even the driver in the front row looked back at him. Obviously, no one knew what had happened.

He waved his hand, indicating that it was all right. He glanced at Han Wenyue with some surprise. He didn't understand why the young man, who had been calm, would lose his composure with just one sentence.

"Yes." Zhao Zhiqiu's tone was still cold. "The book I saw is true."

Some people said that calamity was a place where people could not go in their life. Although they did not understand the meaning of this sentence, at least standing here, people could feel the tinyness of life, and the power of nature could be fully reflected here. If people were the souls of all things, then they must be the master of all things.

The two off-road vehicles advanced at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, forming a long salon behind them.

At first, looking at the desert outside the window, many sand dunes quickly moved backwards. They were still thinking about the conversation with Han Wenyue and Zhao Zhiqiu just now.

"The book I read is true." Zhao Zhiqiu's tone was unquestionable.

Squinting his eyes, he seemed to have re-read this mysterious young man. Deep into the desert, even though this current world of high level science was no different from risking one's life. From this point of view, it was either that he was purely looking for death or that he had to achieve his goal. It should be known that there were many tourists here in the desert, but without any conditions, no one would have dared to enter this place. Their temperaments were cold and eccentric, and they didn't speak much. Their firm eyes displayed cassavath and exceptional stubbornness. This type of person wouldn't look like they were looking to die, so this was the first reason why they were excluded.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, can I ask a few questions?"

Zhao Zhiqiu nodded and added, "I'm not used to such a title."

She smiled knowingly and asked, "I'd like to ask you why you're here?"

"I'll go there and find a... person." After a moment of hesitation, he added, "This person has something to do with my background." Zhao Zhiqiu's answer was very straightforward. He did not hesitate at all. Originally, he thought that these people, whether traveling or scientific research, would never have the same purpose as him. After arriving at the oasis and finishing their supply, he would leave and continue to do his own things. But after hearing the conversation between Han Wenyue and himself, he realized that these people had the same goal as him.

The other party's straightforward answer made Zhao Zhiqiu stunned. He did not ask the next question, but Zhao Zhiqiu continued as if he knew what he wanted to ask.

"Legend has it that this sword has the power to destroy all devils and demons, and it can even tear the space." Zhao Zhiqiu held his arms in front of his chest, looking forward. "What I know is that he will definitely go there to get that sword while the sword's power is weaker."

His hand that was holding the pipe was frozen in midair with its mouth slightly opened. It was clear that the other party's words were too hard to believe. If it wasn't a religious zealot, then it was a lunatic! However, the calmness and indifference the youngster displayed didn't seem like he was joking around. He himself was an atheist. Moreover, due to his own unique interests, regardless of whether it was a mysterious pyramid or uninhabited temple, or even the ancient tombs of over a thousand years that he had entered quite a few, he had seen strange things before. When he returned to discuss things with several academic friends, he understood the reason for this. In his brain, no matter how mysterious the matter was, it was nothing more than a joke made by nature and humans, something that there was no scientific explanation.

Han Wenyue, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Zhiqiu, how do you know this?"

In fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he was used to following the prescribed order. Who knew that Zhao Zhiqiu's simple words would make a scholar who firmly believed in science and truth at a loss?

Zhao Zhiqiu turned his head and glanced at Han Wenyue. In fact, as soon as they met, he had a good impression of this gentle and elegant young man. In fact, he believed that in addition to Jack and other people who had a bit extreme ideas, Han Wenyue was still very lethal to most people, especially women.

After a moment of silence, he replied, "An old monk told me."

Han Wenyue and Han Wenyue were stunned at almost the same time, and then they burst out laughing. This time, it was needless to say, which attracted the attention of the front and back rows again. Han Wenyue fell silent again. "This young man is too mysterious. It seems that he knows more about the background of this matter than I do. Although his expression seems to always be cold, his firm and tenacious eyes give people a sense of security."

The laughter lasted for nearly half a minute until he found that almost everyone in the front and back row was staring at him. He coughed to cover up his embarrassment and then waved his hand to indicate that he was fine with the people who didn't know Chinese. It seemed that Zhao Zhiqiu didn't care about his rude behavior.

"Please forgive me for my gaffe just now." The expression on his face was sincere. As a gentleman, this was the most proper courtesy.

"It doesn't matter," Zhao Zhiqiu replied.

"Although I'm an atheist, archaeology has a direct contact with many religions. I believe that I still have a certain level of understanding. Michael's sword should be something that is legal or a Catholic. The monk is a Buddhist practitioner, how could he...?" He did not speak the words behind him. He was obviously afraid that if he directly questioned him, the other party would be repulsed.

"The person who told me these things would not lie to me. It is very difficult for the Atheanist to accept such a thing." Zhao Zhiqiu frowned and seemed to be a little anxious. "You are my benefactors, so I can only advise you not to go. It is very dangerous."

At first, he wanted to say something, but at this time, Han Wenyue on the side brought up a brainless problem in his opinion.

"In your opinion, how much weaker is the power of Michael's sword?" Han Wenyue asked. She had completely lost her usual self and the smile on her face had vanished without a trace. She had a serious expression on her face.

Zhao Zhiqiu pondered for a moment before saying, "Since I can no longer conceal its position, I'm afraid its power will soon disappear."

"You mean, its sealing power?"

Zhao Zhiqiu nodded.

In a few short sentences, countless thoughts came to Han Wenyue's mind. She turned to face the book and said with a serious look, "Uncle, you can go back now. You can't go any further!"

This time, she was laughing and didn't come out. She stared at Han Wenyue with her eyes widely open. "Is this child suffering from heatstroke?"

"Uncle, I'm not kidding. The information I got is exactly the same as what Zhiqiu said." Han Wenyue frowned. "I guess I don't want to know where Zhiqiu got this news, but it's better to make plans as soon as possible."

Human life is important?! I didn't see the danger at all, how exaggerated it was! Seeing Han Wenyue still explaining, I waved my hand and said, "Wait, you two talked for a long time, but I didn't understand. Give me some time to digest, okay?"

Seeing Han Wenyue nod, she turned around and looked out of the window. The car fell into silence again.

This was the whole story of the conversation just now.

His eyes were drawn back from outside the window,seal? Danger? It was obvious to him that there was a demon in it!

At first, she could not help but smile bitterly in her heart. Her intelligence, which she was proud of, had actually thought about these few sentences for such a long time. It seemed that her guess ability was relatively poor.
