You call this magic?

"So why are you asking in such a questioning tone? They are indeed considered master and apprentice, but in my opinion, they are just brats trying to steal each other's candy."

"Ah?" What shocked Solitaire was not the truth of the situation, but the fact that Fulilian actually understood it.

"Yeah, but they do have some talent and are decent people, so it's not like I taught them in vain... What's that look in your eyes?"

At this time, Solitaire was playing with the ends of her hair, staring at Fulilian in silence with a bit of curiosity, wanting to know what shocking remarks she would make next.

The desire to watch the show suddenly overcame the sense of crisis.

"That's the point, Lady Fulilian, that's the point."

"What do you think of the relationship between that elf and Ethan?"

"Uh...master and apprentice?"

"Don't you see it clearly?" Fulilian pointed at herself, "I am Ethan's magic master."

Then he pointed at Kraft who was demonstrating a punching stance and said, "That elf over there, even though he was with him for a short time, can be considered his warrior's master."

Finally, Fulilian crossed her arms and said, "Firen and Yubel learned magic under him. He is the master of these two children."

"Our relationships are all non-conflicting. Why do you think he'll be taken away?"

"What about me?" Solitaire finally realized something was wrong. She was not here.

"Do you want to recall how you usually call him?"

"..."

There is really no conflict.

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 45: The Sword Village

In the second half of the journey through the mountains, Ethan's approach began to change. He began to expand the range of the barrier, and when he walked from one end to the other, he would release another barrier at the same place to keep the temperature as suitable as possible along the way.

The road conditions were very bad, visibility was low, the sky was dark, and lighting magic had to be released even during the day. There was even the possibility of getting lost. The time without blizzards was getting shorter and shorter, so he could only arrange his actions as if there would be blizzards throughout the journey.

In such a schedule, combat teaching naturally cannot be carried out every day, but in fact the part that really needs to be learned has been completed, and the next step is practice.

When it comes to martial arts, to be honest, the things you need to know can be learned very quickly, but to fully grasp them and apply them in actual combat, you need years of practice.

Martial arts is a very difficult subject to master, especially when Ethan quickly got started and made rapid progress with his physique, talent and the bonus brought by grace, he discovered how difficult this path was.

Fortunately, Kraft has passed on his personal way of practice to Ethan. The corrected techniques and movements will help him improve. As long as Ethan can persevere in his practice, he may be able to achieve the achievement of defeating the entire demon clan by brute force within his lifetime.

This was a joke from Kraft, and Ethan certainly wouldn't do that. Since he had learned from both sides, the best way was to combine the advantages of both sides and choose the appropriate fighting method in a targeted manner.

After an unknown number of days, the four finally arrived at a place in the Xuvia Mountains where the road conditions were better. From here, two routes were separated. One was to continue deep into the mountains and head north, and the other was to leave the mountains and head towards the plains.

Kraft's journey ends here. He will part ways with Ethan and others and go on another path.

"Crafford, how many years have you lived?"

Before leaving, Ethan asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"That question?" Kraft thought for a moment and said, "That's a really old question. To be honest, I've forgotten it."

"As expected of an elf."

"Yes, sometimes I wake up and realize that decades have passed. Since I reached four figures in age, I have no interest in counting how many winters I have experienced. After all, it has lost its meaning."

"Is this so..."

"Besides," Kraft looked up at the sky. It was a clear day with no sign of snow. It was precisely because of the good weather that he chose to leave today. "There's nothing left for me to remember, or for anyone or anything that needs to remember me."

As a human being, it was hard for Ethan to imagine the exaggerated weight of time contained in his last sentence.

At least not what he could imagine now.

……

From that day on, Fulilian took on the responsibility of showing the way.

According to her, there was a place she wanted to take Ethan to see.

"Sword Village?" Ethan had an impression of this place. It was the place his grandmother had mentioned when he was a child.

"Yes, it's the village that guards the Sword of the Brave. You must have heard of its legend in your village."

"The Sword of the Brave. It was here that Xinmeier pulled out the Sword of the Brave and defeated the Demon King." Ethan said calmly. He knew the actual situation. Xinmeier did not pull out the Sword of the Brave at all. In fact, he only used the fake one to defeat the Demon King.

However, the whole world claims that the sword in Xinmeier's hand is the sword of the brave.

There’s a saying that goes, when your position is high enough, even if you’re wearing slippers from a roadside stall, people will claim they’re a limited edition custom-made piece from a famous brand, and their value can reach astronomical figures.

"So you want me to go and see the Sword of the Brave?" Ethan was very interested.

Although it has never been mentioned, in ten years, the level of his God's Grace has risen to level 5.

But because he stayed in his hometown and hardly moved, and didn't kill many monsters, he made no progress after level 5.

As for great achievements, that was nonsense. He felt that only stronger opponents could allow him to accumulate great achievements to upgrade to level 6.

Admiring the sword of the brave should also be a way to improve your experience.

"That's one of the reasons, but I'm just fulfilling a promise." Fulilian had a blank expression on her face. This kind of thing was too common for her. Along the way, she had seen many promises that lasted for decades or even hundreds of years, and Fulilian had completed them all conscientiously.

Sword Village.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, Lady Fulilian."

Ethan looked at the girl in front of him, who was only a few years older than Philen when they first met, and then looked at the men standing behind her.

Do you really have the nerve to let a child bear such a heavy responsibility?

Well, this child is the village chief, and she is in charge of the cave where the Brave Sword is stored.

Basically, any candidate for the nationally recognized hero can try to pull out this sword, but from the mythological era to the present, no one has been able to pull it out.

According to the detailed introduction by the village chief, this sword can only be drawn out when a disaster that could destroy the world occurs.

"So, the goddess doesn't think the demons can threaten the world's survival?"

"..."

When Ethan said this, everyone around him fell silent.

"How should I put it... Although this may sound outrageous, the demons today really can't reach that level." The little village chief shrugged. Although he was still a child, he behaved very maturely.

"..." Fulilian hesitated to speak. Having personally experienced the battle with the Demon King, she knew how dangerous it was, but she really didn't know whether the Demon King was strong enough to wield the Sword of the Brave for a goddess whose existence she didn't know.

"Well, well, that's off topic. Lady Fulilian, didn't you say you'd come back in half a century? Even I, a mild-mannered person, am angry—these were my grandmother's last words."

The last words were all complaining about you, Master! How many promises did you owe me?

Although he had experienced this a long time ago, Ethan felt that he would continue to help Fulilian complete this kind of work.

In response to this, Fulilian frankly agreed to the village chief's request - to help clear the monsters around the Brave Cave.

The existence of the Brave Sword will attract monsters to try to destroy it. Although mere monsters certainly cannot do it, it is definitely not possible to let them stay there all the time. Therefore, whenever a backup hero comes, they will start by destroying these monsters.

If you can't even kill these monsters guarding the gate, you are not qualified to draw your sword. This is also a very simple and rough trial.

PS: This time it's really ka le

PS2: I don’t understand this hen card.

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 46 [The Brave Sword]

"That's it then. Now it's up to you, Ethan."

"Leave it to the master."

Ethan standing alone at the entrance of Sword Village:?

Looking behind him, there were only a few villagers from Sword Village who were responsible for showing the way, but since it was basically a desert from here, they could only point out a direction at most, and Ethan was the only one who acted afterwards.

No, why?

Even Ethan was a little confused about what Fulilian was thinking. It was just this little bit of distance.

He even pulled Solitiel aside and told her not to follow, leaving Ethan to handle it alone.

It can't be because of danger, right? Is there anyone more dangerous than the three of us within a hundred miles?

Anyway, Ethan used his magic detection to the maximum but couldn't find anyone stronger than the three of them.

He could only assume that Fulilian hadn't been in the house for too long and wanted to take some time off.

Forget it, after all, I am a disciple who is here to help my master.

The monsters along the way were all at the level where more practice was needed for beginners. Ethan passed by on the right path as if he was strolling in the garden, and all the monsters that pounced on him stopped at a distance of only five meters away from him, motionless.

Ten seconds later, the head and body separated, turned into dust and disappeared in the snow, leaving no trace.

Ethan really likes the magic [Shadowless Divine Edge] because it has a fast release, high output, and low consumption. Even to heal the wounds caused by it, one has to use a specific spell. For the people in this world, this method of attack is no different from a curse.

Of course, Ethan would not use it to attack humans unless it was necessary, but its ability to kill monsters was comparable to Yubel's [Magic that Cuts Off Everything] in Ethan's hands.

Although the latter is now a recognized forbidden technique among them, Yubel will be punished if she uses it once without Ethan or Fulilian's permission.

It covers everything, no kidding.

While Ethan was casually clearing out the monsters that swarmed in, he was also paying attention to the breath with the strongest magical reaction. It was not until he was about to reach the cave where the Sword of the Brave was stored that the monster leader known as the "Mountain King" appeared.

With its appearance, the already low temperature around it even dropped by several degrees.

This thing is probably more than twenty meters long, and its palm alone is as long as Ethan's height. Judging from its appearance, it should be the leader of the group of wolf-like monsters just now, that is, the alpha wolf.

Ethan ignored it for the time being. After all, the magic reaction of this thing was too weak and it posed no threat to him, because his attention was attracted by the barrier at the entrance of the cave.

The magical density of this barrier far exceeded any barrier he knew, and even its mechanism and theory were different from what he had learned so far.

"Is this the barrier set by the goddess?" Ethan jumped and came to the entrance of the cave.

The cave itself was not deep, and one could see everything from the entrance. There was nothing inside except a rusty sword stuck in the rock.

Ethan's eyes shone with a magical glow.

Soon, the scope of the barrier became clear in his vision. This powerful barrier only covered a small area of ​​the cave, but only the rock under the Brave Sword was covered again by the barrier.

It is worthy of being called a "holy land". No matter how small the scope is, it is still a restriction set by the goddess.

The Mountain King next to him was a little annoyed. He thought that the bloody aura after his appearance would scare Ethan, but the latter did not take him, the monster boss who had been entrenched here for eighty years, seriously at all!

It was furious.

It let out a violent scream and its body pressed down on Ethan who was squatting at the entrance of the cave like a towering mountain, until Ethan glanced at it angrily.

"I'm calling your mother, go find the demons."

An invisible blade split its body into two, and then its huge body disintegrated directly in the air. It was killed instantly before it even saw Ethan's move.

Ethan stood up, feeling the little Karami around him, and sighed.

As expected, I should finish my work first and then do research. It is really annoying to have my train of thought interrupted.

Pyroxene Magic [Meteor Shower].

Above Ethan's head, magic balls began to release magic projectiles with tails. However, the powerful thing about this magic is that it has a tracking effect. As long as it locks onto the surrounding targets, either the target will be hit or its magic power will be exhausted and dissipated. There is no other result.

Because it was released continuously, it was like a meteor shower around. Large groups of monsters disappeared directly. In less than half a minute, Ethan completed the clearing work around the Brave Sword Cave.

He stopped talking and focused his energy on analyzing the barrier.

This barrier itself will not prevent him from entering it. It only fights against monsters and demons. Functionally, it is similar to the barrier he usually uses. With this connection, his interpretation work will become a little simpler.

One afternoon half a month later.

Ethan opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Brave Sword.

The interpretation went smoothly, but to be honest, without the help of Xunsi Dafa's notes, he might not even be able to find the door.

No wonder the interpretation of the Goddess Church's scriptures has only been around 3% so far. The things left behind by the Goddess are truly not something that ordinary people can understand.

He came to the side of the Brave Sword and stretched out his hand to it.

Don't get me wrong, he had no intention of pulling it out. This thing was truly able to gather the world's luck.

It is indeed as the legend says. It can only be pulled out when the world is in danger of being destroyed. Because once it is pulled out, almost all the power related to the goddess in this world will spontaneously and actively gather around the sword drawer. What stability, what earth veins, what use is that thing? The world is about to be destroyed. Let's use a spirit bomb to kill the boss in seconds first.

In other words, if Ethan pulled it out now, he would become invincible, but the world would become very lively, and various natural disasters would begin to occur frequently because the power to suppress it was sucked away.

In essence, this is the last trump card to be used for desperate efforts.
