Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 104 Darkroom Seal
"Well, in the midnight assassination, only two people were lost..."

Late at night, King Boren did not go to bed.

In the outer room, in front of him, there were four blocks with special patterns carved into them. Within the blocks, there were points of light, but two of them had gone out.

They used some means to sense the armor of the four Boren secret guards.

"Humph, he was able to kill two people while sleeping. He really has some strength!"

King Boren waited, and at last the door opened.

Two men wearing black armor and masks walked into the room.

"How are things going?"

King Boren asked without looking up.

There are many secret guards in this palace, and King Boren doesn't care about... the appearance of these secret guards.

He only needed to know that under the engraved images, these secret guards would not betray or leak any information.

that's enough.

After hearing the king's words, Poro and Lake looked at each other.

Finally, the Poro, whose voice and appearance had changed, answered in the voice of a secret guard:
"They have all been killed, Your Majesty."

"Well, not bad. Didn't you find anything special on them?"

King Boren raised his eyes slightly and saw that the two Poros were not carrying anything except their equipment, so he asked in some confusion.

"They have some written records of the Star-Killing Sword on them. They may really want to ask Your Majesty to use the Star-Killing Sword to kill the giants and save the people of Boren."

After hearing these words, King Boren frowned, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But the anger in his heart overshadowed this, causing him to sneer:
"Star-Killing Sword? Saving the people? They're just eyeing this divine weapon—a divine weapon that only the strong can recognize! What does that have to do with saving the people?!"

King Boren would never show many of the thoughts and depression in his heart in front of others.

Many of his true faces would only be revealed to the princesses and princes who were also members of the royal family, or the secret guards who would never rebel.

“I know that countless people are coveting the divine weapons belonging to my Boren royal family.

Over the years, there have been countless thieves—

The Star-Slaying Sword is in this room. Can any of them touch it?"

Having said that, King Boren waved his hand as if he was relieved.

Now that the things I was worried about tonight have almost been done, I can finally relax.

"Okay, nothing else. Just go back and prepare. Don't cause any trouble on the day of evacuation."

The king said, waving his hand.

Ok?
The eyes beneath the Poro mask narrowed slightly, "Your Majesty, could you please elaborate on the evacuation..."

"While those soldiers and people are holding back the giant, you guys should hurry up and take us away.

The more detailed parts are what you need to consider, understand?"

The king said this with some impatience, but then his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Cold sweat instantly flowed down his somewhat old face.

He saw that the secret guard's black sword was already against his neck, and he felt a chill!

He wanted to use magic to activate the self-destruction pattern on the Secret Guard Armor, but for some reason—

It failed. It seemed that someone who had mastered the engraving technique had taken the lead and controlled the armor.

"Your Majesty, please explain in more detail."

The secret guard, whose face could not be seen, no longer concealed the coldness in his words: "Regarding your escape plan, and the location of the Star Killing Sword."

……

Deep in the palace, the king's bedroom.

Under the spell, the wall on one side became transparent again, revealing the dark room behind which sealed the Star Killing Sword.

"First, what should we do?"

Poro looked at the densely packed carvings in the secret room, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. Although Lake had learned the carving tradition of Bo Renjue, his time was still short and he was not yet able to decipher the mysteries within this more complex formation.

But the good thing is, you just need to know how to do it.

Lake picked up a scarf woven with gold thread and brocade. It belonged to Princess Boren. At the hem of the scarf, there was a conical crystal stone among several diamonds and crystals.

Lake used a knife to cut off the conical crystal, which was also a "Spell-Breaking Cone".

Now, the three "Breaking Cones" of the royal family of Boren are all in our hands.

The queen's notes and the king's words confirmed each other.

Lake also confirmed...these three conical crystals are actually the keys to sealing the Star Killing Sword.

"The seal of the Star Killing Sword can actually be forcibly removed by destroying the formation, but with these keys, the danger will be greatly reduced."

As Lake spoke, she spread out the Queen's notebook "Star Killing Sword" in front of her and recited the spell recorded on it.

At the same time, three crystals began to glow and levitate...

In the secret room where the Star-Killing Sword was sealed, the star-shaped gap in the center of the three inner walls also began to glow accordingly.

After the light within the three Shattering Cones increased to a certain level—

After the dazzling white light faded, it turned into three... stars shining with silver light!
They flew into the gap in the wall and fit in perfectly.

The seal array flashed with light and then dissipated along with the three silver star-shaped crystals.

Then, the gray sword in the center of the room came into the eyes of Lake and Poro.

"This is... the Star Killing Sword?!"

Poro frowned. Although the sealing formation had disappeared, this thing that looked like a piece of rotten stone still did not emit any sword light.

He stepped forward, raised his claws, and touched the sword's edge—

There was no wound at all, as if the blade had never been sharpened at all.

why?
Poro stretched out his two claws and pressed the hilt of the sword, lifting it up easily. The sword was even lighter than an iron sword of the same size.

"According to the description in the notebook 'Star Killing Sword', it seems that the Star Killing Sword does not recognize you, Poro."

Lake thought for a moment and then asked, "If you had this sword, what would you do?"

"doing what?"

Poro was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then showed some realization.

Before grasping the hilt, he had no particular desire to do anything with the sword - a powerful artifact, so close at hand, wasn't that enough?
Even with such a weapon, a Poro might be able to kill a lone giant if he could.

But if his life was threatened, he didn't think he would stand up selflessly like a true hero.

After all, no one among the Poren people has a deep bond with Poro.

"Okay, I admit, I might not be as conscious as those Boren soldiers."

Poro retreated angrily, making room for Lake. "At least for now, I'm not in a rush to use this sword... to protect anything."

"What about you, Lake?"

The Poro looked at the girl with a hint of anticipation.

"I think... maybe I can't do it either."

But Lake hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Click——"

The sound was very slight, but it was particularly obvious in the quiet dark room.

Poro stared at the blade of the Star Killer Sword nervously.

A crack appeared on the rock-like surface, starting from the hilt and spreading along the blade to the tip...

But halfway through, it became slower and slower until it stopped.

For a long time, there were no subsequent changes.
