Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 87 Promise
"Eternal swordsmanship?!" Lucia's heart was shocked when she heard this word, and an indescribable astonishment, shock and even absurdity permeated from the bottom of her heart.

Based on his knowledge, he naturally knew that the "civilization" mentioned by the Mugram knights was the Eternal City, and it wasn't the two later Noklonn and Nokstella, which were built in the valleys of the Shifra River and the Ansel River respectively. Rather, it specifically refers to the nameless eternal city buried at the bottom of the king's capital Rodel.

For hundreds of years since the founding of Kalia, the ancient dragon dynasty has always been their most steadfast and reliable ally. Coupled with the generally long and long lifespan of dragons, older dragons such as Elder Murrell even watched the rise of Kalia throughout the whole process. and prosperity.Therefore, although the Dragon Clan didn't know the details about those ancient and orthodox Kalia nobles claiming to be the Eternal Descendants, they had already heard about it.

As early as a few months ago, when Lucia was studying the history of the mainland in the Sky City University Library, he spent a lot of time carefully studying the historical materials and notes in this area.

In his view, the Kalia people and the destroyed eternal civilization in ancient times are simply passed down in one line - the same belief in the stars and the moon, the same developed magic system, and the same tolerance for other civilizations outside.
Some incomplete historical materials about the Xingyue Era and the Eternal City back then can still be found in the Great Library. Although everything about the reasons for the destruction of the Eternal City and the Forbidden War has been hidden in it, one can still glimpse the The arrogance of a civilization that flourished for a while.

It is not difficult to see from their belief culture, laws and regulations, architectural clothing styles, etc., that the great ancient civilization with eclecticism has many similarities with today's Kalia.

Just like those Knox people buried deep in the ground looking up at the false starry sky, and the magical town of Selia, which is in full swing in the center of Gelid, the Kalia people are undoubtedly inextricably linked to the former Eternal City There is a continuous connection, and the statement of the descendants is the most reasonable explanation.

What really surprised Lucia is that in his impression, the Eternal City, which is famous for its magic system, has become the largest concentration of swordsmanship research in ancient times, and even brought swordsmanship from many races inside and outside the border. Inheritance melted into one furnace to create this kind of ultimate swordsmanship like a hundred rivers returning to the sea?
"His Royal Highness Lucia Shanks—"

The voice of the Mugram knight brought Lucia back to reality. He tried his best to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his heart and looked up, only to see that the gentle expression of the knight on the opposite side had rarely faded, and there was an unprecedented solemnity on his slightly weathered face. .

"Please forgive me for calling you by your full name," the knight bowed slightly. "With your highness's knowledge, you should know some inside information about the ancient Eternal City, and you can also understand the weight of what I will entrust to you."

"As the chief Kalia knight telling you these things as the heir of the ancient dragon dynasty, the significance is not only to give you a sword skill, but also means that Kalia has once again shared with your country our most precious and deadly sword. One of the secrets."

The breeze blowing from the lake brushed the silver hair on the back of Lucia's shoulders, and the loud words of the Mugram knight echoed in his ears. Facing the actual current ruler of the Kalia dynasty, an unprecedented The heavy feeling was on his shoulders.

The heavy sense of responsibility, the undeniable sense of mission, and the sense of unknown and fear of the rise and fall of the future dynasty on his shoulders surpassed the one night he slept outside Karen City, and surpassed him and Clivell. The evening of mutual promises even surpassed the afternoon when he witnessed the sword monument outside the capital with his own eyes accompanied by sister Lance.
He was silent for a long time, and said, "Then, what kind of gift do you want from me—or Gu Long Dynasty?"

"I don't need the ancient dragon dynasty, I just need a personal promise from His Highness." Knight Mugram said.

Seeing a look of doubt on Lucia's face, Knight Mugram took a deep breath, his expression as calm as a rock that has not been changed for thousands of years, "I hope His Highness will always remember the sincerity that Kalia bestowed on you tonight—if you One day, those three children will fall into the same predicament as His Royal Highness Michaela that day, or a more dangerous situation, I hope His Highness's sword can also be unsheathed for them."

At this moment, the knight Mugram, who has always been strict and courteous, no longer called the three princes and princesses raised by him as "Your Highness". Just as he said to Lucia just now, in this agreement, he never Absolute goodwill and sincerity have been maintained from beginning to end.

"In the next few years, isn't His Excellency Mugram planning to accompany them here?" Lucia asked suddenly.

"Her Majesty Malika did send me an invitation, hoping that I would be the principal of the upcoming private school for the royal family—but I declined." Knight Mugram replied frankly.

"It's not because of my personal grievances with His Majesty Radagon, nor because of my irrepressible prejudice and resentment towards the Golden Dynasty. It's just that I've been away from home for too long, and it's time to go back."

Lucia quietly stared at the man in front of her, as if she wanted to read some deeper emotions from behind his vicissitudes of life and gray temples.

However, after a while, he just shook his head and said, "I promise you."

"This is the promise I, the successor of Fam Yazra, the ancient dragon god-man Lucia Shanks, made to the chief Kalia knight Mugram, my oath at any time and under any circumstances, Both are as heavy as Fam Yazra who hangs in the sky."

Hearing this, Knight Mugram finally showed a relieved smile.

"Then, please accept my gift, Your Highness."

He took a step forward and pointed two fingers between Lucia's eyebrows.

In Mugram's magic field, everything including the virtual images of the two is controlled by his magic power. Although it can't compare with Lucia's memory battlefield in terms of power level, this level of knowledge transfer is just a matter of effort .

A vast and complex knowledge poured into Lucia's mind like a torrent. With the help of the memory battlefield, this knowledge was analyzed, compiled, and archived at the fastest speed, and the storm swordsmanship contained in the previous dragon's blood inheritance The same is recorded for him to refer to and comprehend at any time in the future.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the Mugram knight withdrew the flow of magic power from his fingertips, and Lucia slowly opened his eyes. Countless phantoms of eternal swordsmanship were still flashing in his mind, and he had even subconsciously performed the eternal sword art. A fusion of swordsmanship and storm swordsmanship.

"Your Highness must have figured out that my Eternal Sword Technique is different from the original version in ancient times. It incorporates many sword techniques and combat techniques that appeared after ancient times, but the three major sword techniques are still the most important foundation." Mugla Knight Mu suggested.

"I also taught this swordsmanship to two children, Latan and Lakad, but they only have the foundation of Kalia's swordsmanship, and the moves they can perform at present are also limited to this range. If your highness has time in the future, you might as well Learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Lucia once again solemnly saluted Mugram.

"In that case, let's go back. Your highnesses must be waiting impatiently." Knight Mugram smiled and waved his hand, dispelling the magic domain, and the two of them returned to reality.
