I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 242: Elegy of the Angel of Death! Leeches soaked in wine?

This sword was obviously contaminated by the Lady with the power of the Bloody Baron, but now the Bloody Baron is called 'Heraka'.

It is precisely because of the power of Heraka that both the Lady and the Abyss Demon feel that it is like something poisonous and are unwilling to touch it.

Of course, this wasn't the main reason. The main reason was that the demon felt she didn't need anything to kill Roland. After all, he was just a mere first-level wizard; a touch would kill him. So, why bother with this "little dagger"? It was awkward and uncomfortable to hold.

This sword had indeed been tainted before.

But now, Roland didn't know whether it had been defiled or not.

Because Heraclea is a goddess of supreme kindness and purity.

Not to mention how crazy the true face of this "shepherdess" is, but as the god of the Styx, as the god who specializes in purifying the sins of souls in the Styx, He is a genuine good god.

The Heracles are despised by the world, as all wizards are unbelievers. Like the Bloodthirsty Wizards, the Heracles collaborate with the gods, but are also thieves who attempt to portray the gods, or even steal their power!
They often remind people of necromancers, especially the Heracles from the Twilight Council, who have done all sorts of evil things.

The shepherd of the group of "racists" that Roland killed when he came here before was the wizard Helaka.

Therefore, the Heracles were not only faithless. Even the Heracles in the East were as notorious as the Black Abyss and Twilight wizards, the darkest of the dark wizards!

Every Heracari wizard from the East, when placed in the South, can make the black wizards in the South believe that they are actually white wizards.

But the goddess Heraclea and her followers are different.

Serious Heracles are believers recognized even by the Southern Church.

Including the shepherds of Heracles, they are also church members, brothers and sisters. They are righteous priests who punish evil and save the souls of the dead!

Therefore, the sword should not be considered defiled now.

Or perhaps Roland knew that the sword was definitely tainted, but he couldn't see it.

Because few people know what Helaka really looks like.

Regardless of Roland's intuitive feeling about the sword, from its appearance, it looked as if it had been baptized by a divine power.

The original pollution of the abyss has been purified by a pure and good holy blood in the baptism of Heraka.

After blowing away the dense spiders and spider silk on the sword, Roland couldn't put it down and started playing with it.

Both the long sword and the scabbard are very exquisite.

With a hum, Roland drew his sword.

Suddenly, Roland's eyes lit up. He heard the sword speak.

——Amid the humming sound of the sword, a word flashed through Roland's mind: elegy.

'The Defiled Elegy', to be exact.

Roland's eyes suddenly lit up.

Compared to it, the Thunderfire Blade is like a crude mass-produced product, and the Holy Servant's Scabbard is like a poor imitation.

It actually gave Roland a familiar feeling.

Roland couldn't help but recall the 'holy sword' he had seen from Baron Hall.

Roland was only ten years old at the time, a very annoying age, and he often took little Alice everywhere. They accidentally stumbled into Baron Hall's "collection room" and saw a lot of swords.

The holy sword is placed at the top of the 'collection room'.

The sword was much taller than the ten-year-old Roland.

It's incredibly beautiful, with lots of strange angels on it. The carvings on the hilt and scabbard are not only full of mythological meaning, but there's even "carving" on the blade itself!

Roland and Little Alice had a quarrel at the time. Roland said that there were many angels and saints carved on the blade, but Little Alice said that there were not so many carvings, just some small lines.

After arguing for a while, the two men started fighting with swords.

One played the role of a Paladin, the other played the role of a Pope. While they were gesturing, they were discovered by the Baron.

At that time, Baron Hall also told Roland that the sword was a work of art. After all, it would be a bit of a waste to use it in battle. Moreover, there were patterns on the blade. Wouldn't it be easy to wear out?
The swords of the mercenaries in the tavern are all very simple, and the simpler the sword, the more practical it is, isn't it?

Now that I think about it, that room wasn't a collection room at all. It was Jiange!
And the pattern on the sword is not a pattern at all. It is a holy pattern!

From that day on, Baron Hall believed that Roland was suitable to become a Templar because he could see the holy patterns.

There are many ways to see the holy runes. Many paladins and priests who have pure faith and have been training for many years can see the holy runes.

But there are not many people who can see it from a young age. Some of these people will be buried, but some are famous paladins, bishops, and even saints in history.

Baron Hall and Anthony had discussed sending Roland to the 'St. Wilmik Cathedral' in the south to serve as an apprentice knight.

Anthony naturally refused. He hated those deceiving gods the most in his life.

Roland did not go to the South, but he always wanted a sword like this.

The Thunderfire Blade slightly satisfied his dream, but what Roland really wanted was Baron Hall's holy sword.

This is a real ancient sword, it has a history of at least two or three hundred years. Not only is it very "open", it also has holy patterns on it!

But Roland felt that it was not 'open' enough.

Roland took out a small, broken sword blade from his dimensional bag.

This is a large fragment that was stuck in the body of the senior sister when she was injured during the Yellow Fern Ruins expedition. It's about the size of a thumb.

After Roland helped the senior sister take out many fragments, he kept the largest piece in his hand as a souvenir. After all, it was the holy sword.

After comparing the holy patterns, Roland discovered that there was a slight difference between the holy patterns on the sword in his hand and those on the fragments.

Roland didn't know whether the sword used by Baron Hall to kill the 'clone of the Yellow Fern Lord' was a true holy sword.

But the holy sword in his hand should be a 'pseudo-holy sword'.

In other words, the swords of Baron Hall and Roland are actually both true holy swords, but they are also false holy swords.

Because there is only one true holy sword, left by God.

Many swords forged using the same technique were created in later generations. They were equally rare and precious, but they were not the one and only Holy Sword. Therefore, they were considered false Holy Swords.

Therefore, it is not wrong to call this sword a holy sword, because it has enough history and legendary experiences.

During the past three hundred years, it has gone through many changes, sailed across the ocean from the south and finally arrived at the southeast coast, and fell into the hands of the lady.

Such rich experience has even given it its own name - Elegy.

Or perhaps, a tainted elegy.

It is like a knight struggling in the abyss of darkness, fighting the evil with all his might, climbing up with all his might, and redeeming himself. With his own actions, he tells a heroic elegy.

It once killed countless evil demons, but eventually fell into the hands of the vampire Dame.

With the help of her family's resources and the power of the Blood Baron, she deeply tainted the sword so that she could truly wield it.

Now, it has fallen into the hands of a destined person.

In the hands of someone who was supposed to be a Paladin.

Roland sighed, "You have now left the abyss. Now in my hands, you have finally seen the light of day again."

After stroking the flawless gem inlaid on the hilt, Roland shook his head and said, "Not to mention this sword, this gem alone is probably worth tens of thousands of magic stones! A second-level wizard is truly wealthy!"

It was originally a tainted 'high-grade holy stone', or in other words, a high-grade magic stone with sacred properties.

He swung his sword and struck a nearby cocoon a few times, creating a ripple in mid-air. The ripple resembled a sword-wielding angel of death, silently passing through that cocoon and then the entire row of cocoons behind it.

Then the cocoons were cut in half like paper, and then the netherworld fire burst into flames, and in an instant they were reduced to ashes.

Roland's eyes widened. He had guessed that this sword was a valuable weapon that could make up for the Lady's shortcomings in ranged weapons, after all, it contained a top-grade magic stone. But he hadn't expected the weapon it unleashed to be so ruthless.

Roland had personally verified the tenacity of the silk on those cocoons with a large demon. But with this strike of the sword, those seven or eight cocoons, along with the wizards inside, were all blown away!
Roland looked at the sword for a long time with a strange expression on his face, and was convinced that it might not be a rare object anymore.

Anyway, the Dame's original sword definitely didn't emit this kind of 'Angel of Death Ripple'!
"I originally just wanted a van, and now I'm driving a Maybach!"

Roland was overjoyed.

Suddenly, he thought of something and observed the high-grade magic stone on the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, his heart was broken.

The magic power of this top-grade magic stone was actually reduced by one tenth.

More than a thousand magic stones are gone!

It seems that it is better to use it to kill people.

Roland thought to himself, "She definitely doesn't use it like this normally. The Blood Knight can always emit normal ripples when he draws his sword."

After carefully examining the holy patterns on the sword, Roland couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

That holy pattern was indeed a genuine holy pattern, and depicted on it were angels, but those angels were not genuine angels.

If you weren't paying attention, you'd think these angels were sacred. But after observing them carefully, Roland realized they looked a bit crazy.

Roland originally thought that the angels were kneeling and praying with their weapons in hand, but when he looked closely, he saw that they were actually kneeling there with their heads in their hands and laughing wildly.

If you look closely at the wings of these angels, you will find that they are covered with tiny skulls.

These are indeed a group of holy angels, but they are a group of holy angels of death.

Originally, Roland had planned to use this sword to pretend to be a paladin. After all, the Eastern Territory was becoming increasingly chaotic. If he couldn't stay there any longer, he might have to head south to avoid the spotlight.

Therefore, Roland felt that, in some cases, this pseudo-holy sword might be a pass for him, helping him to play the role of a paladin.

But now looking at it this way, the Paladin outfit can be put on, but it will be easily exposed.

So, is Elegy still considered a hero's sword today?

Roland couldn't help but pick up his sword again and sighed, "You have crawled out of the abyss. No matter how pure your heart is, your body is stained with blood. Those who claim to be righteous will probably not accept you. As it happens, I am not a clean person either. Let us be companions from now on."

"The Death Angel's Elegy is quite good."

"As a minor lord under the goddess Heraka, I now have a territory and a sword. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the sword."

Roland thought to himself, "So, this sword blessed by the goddess Heraka is a reward for exceeding the mission?"

Judging from the events surrounding the Angel of Death's Ripple, this sword is probably not just a 'magic artifact'; it's actually a pseudo-holy sword that has experienced so many things and come into deep contact with the mysterious.

After the first contact with the Bloody Baron, it became a secret treasure (mysterious treasure) embryo.

But the lady did not refine it into a secret treasure.

The lady is not a proper wizard, nor is she proficient in alchemy.

Roland could guess that the lady must be thinking that after the success of this ceremony, the Dryblood Family would be able to truly control the power of the Dryblood Baron.

In this way, her sister, Countess Wendisha, can help her transform the "Defiled Elegy" into a secret treasure.

Now, this sword has been baptized by Heracles, and thus by two gods. If we also count the blessing bestowed by the southern god, it is the sword baptized by three gods!

This is definitely a top-grade secret treasure embryo!

Once you thoroughly study the Veil of Heraclea and do some alchemy, the secret treasure will be formed.

Roland carefully examined the scabbard and found that it was a normal strange object, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He sheathed the longsword, picked up the scabbard and examined it carefully. Elegy had once again become an ordinary 'pseudo-holy sword', looking like an overly luxurious and fancy wizard blade.

The servants were still sorting the spoils in the hall. There were hundreds of corpses in the hall, and an hour was too short a time limit.

After checking his pocket watch, Roland quickly went through the lady's belongings.

There are several rare items inside, the most precious of which is a dragon bow, which is probably made of dragon tendons and dragon horns.

The bow is strung, and there are also many magic-breaking arrows for second-level wizards.

It seems that the lady came here this time to help the Countess deal with 'Fat Duncan'.

Duncan's death was not unjust, as the Countess and her group had made a lot of preparations for him.

Roland tried pulling the bowstring a few times, but it didn't budge. If he wanted to use it, he'd have to cultivate the Lady's Knight's Secret Technique to the late first stage.

"This dragon bow is much better than Anna's! Give it to Anna to exchange for her equipment. You can trade her elven bow for it. I think I can use her bow."

No wonder Anna was always thinking about eating Roland. He had carried her home before, and now he wanted to trade bows with her!
He had no idea what exchanging weapons meant to the elves.

However, Roland didn't really think that much.

He simply thought that there were too many rare items in the room to choose from, so he finally came across one that a teammate could use, so he gave it to them.

At least his two teammates are still outside helping him lure monsters. Without their help, Roland won't be able to take anything away this time.

What's more, there are really a lot of spoils in the hall!

Roland looked over to a place not far away where the servants had already sorted the looted items into several small hills!

Strange objects, magic stones, various materials, potions, and books are piled up like mountains.

Many servants were helping Roland pick out the rare items that were suitable for him. Having served the master for so many years, they knew exactly what the master liked to use.

There are several quasi-second-level wizards in this hall!

There are even two genuine second-level wizards - the Countess and the fat Duncan.

Roland hurriedly searched the lady's package. He found many potions and body-building secrets, and finally found her diary.

After flipping through it, Roland discovered that it contained some insights into cultivation, which made him both surprised and depressed.

The surprise was that this was the notebook of a second-level expert! It contained many things that others didn't know.

What’s frustrating is that a lot of basic content is not written there.

"Oh, why don't you bring your books? This is not a good habit! Books like this should definitely be carried with you!"

After sighing, Roland put away the lady's armor.

Although the armor had many scratches, the main problem was the buckle. If I had a high-quality hammer-like artifact, it could be easily repaired.

This is also a big baby, but it is too big.

Suddenly, Roland thought of the other Blood Knights.

Among these people, there are knights of the late first stage! The treasures in their hands are enough for their own use, and they can also find suitable armor!

He pulled up Elegy and cut open the cocoon around him, revealing armor covered with small spiders and dried corpses inside the armor.

Roland prayed for them and put away their equipment.

He took a quick look at the books in these people's hands and discovered the secret techniques that the Blood Knights used to practice.

There are several books in total, with many notes and reflections written on them. It seems that these people have a good habit of reading frequently in their spare time.

Roland didn't look closely at the other things and put them all away.

Then he came to the servants, only to find a pile of 'dried leeches soaked in wine', hundreds of them, piled up into a small hill.
