Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

So what are the efforts I have made in the past eighteen years?

God, why have you fooled me so much!

Perhaps Lillian's complaint to the gods had worked.

The huge sword in the stone shook a few times and then became silent.

Xingjian gave up.

As expected, in its half-dragon form, with only a portion of the Star Destroyer's original strength, it was already its limit to just shake the giant Excalibur.

It is not realistic for a human to completely pull out this giant sword that is taller than the city wall.

Even so, Xingjian, who successfully shook the sword, still received the admiring gazes of countless Granna residents after he shed his half-dragon state and left the platform and returned to the ground.

To date, there are at least eight thousand people who have tried to draw the sword.

This was the first time that the Sword in the Stone had such an exaggerated outburst that it directly shook the entire Granna.

Even if Xing Jian didn't pull out the sword from the stone in the end, it doesn't matter. He is the candidate for the king who is closest to the legend so far.

Coupled with Xingjian's overly young appearance, many people regard him as the Chosen King who is still in the process of growing up.

Sooner or later, this silver-haired hunter will truly draw out the legendary Sword of the Chosen King.

——No, it shouldn’t be like this!

Lillian cried out inwardly.

I should be the one to draw the holy sword.

But why, everyone's expectations shifted to that person?

Is he more of a saint than I am?

When Lillian walked into the crowd and saw Xingjian's appearance clearly.

Well!

Although she was unwilling to accept it, she had to admit that there was a sacred feeling that made Lillian feel like she was bathed in spring breeze.

"That should be enough." Xingjian looked at Artoria.

Artoria, whose candy in her mouth had long melted, naturally did not want to continue waiting by the Excalibur.

The mission of a sword spirit is to find the true master of the holy sword.

Altria has recognized that Xingjian is the Silver Dragon Knight who saved the city.

Under the night sky, holding the sword of life, he cut off the fate of countless people who were about to die here.

Only such a person is worthy of the Sword of the King's Choice.

Even if Xingjian couldn't pull out the sword in the stone now, it didn't matter at all.

In fact, many people's expectations of the Sword of the Chosen One, the Excalibur that would save the world, were completely wrong.

Everyone thought that as long as they pulled out the sword in the stone, they would have the power to save the world.

Actually, that’s not true.

The facts are just the opposite.

Only when you have the power to save the world can you pull out the sword from the stone.

The Sword of the King's Choice, just like the title of "True King", means.

You won’t be recognized by everyone until you become a king.

But only the one who is recognized by everyone can become the real king.

Altria slowly stood up.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xingjian, who shook the Sword in the Stone, undoubtedly became the best candidate for the king.

Then, if Artoria, who is a sword spirit, follows the candidate and leaves, I believe that even the people from the Holy See will not be so ignorant as to stop her.

"and many more!"

Hey, it just so happens that there is such an ignorant person.

"why?"

The saint's eyes trembled as if praying as she looked at Artoria who was about to leave with Xingjian.

"Why do you want to go with him?"

Altria also recognized it.

It was the sword-wielding saint who would occasionally secretly feed herself snacks.

In her heart, Altria still had some good feelings towards Lillian.

It's not just because of the snacks.

There is no doubt that Lillian is the one who draws the sword under the guidance of the oracle.

But Lillian, like everyone else, misunderstood the Holy Sword.

She also hopes to gain the power to save the world by pulling out the Sword of the Chosen King.

Rather than gaining the qualification to draw the sword after truly saving the world.

The fact is, Lillian, who has been practicing swordsmanship for eighteen years, has not done anything that has the slightest overlap with the King's Chosen One.

She placed all her expectations on what would happen after she drew out the holy sword, not before.

You have saved nothing, Saint.

Altria looked back at Lillian and shook her head: "Saint, you are not strong enough now."

This was the first time that the sword spirit spoke to the saint, but he denied the saint's sword skills that she had practiced for eighteen years.

"You mean, his strength is enough?" Lillian turned her gaze to Xingjian.

Lillian still refused to believe that she, who had practiced swordsmanship for eighteen years, would actually lose to a hunter.

"He clearly didn't pull out the sword! As the Sword-wielding Saint who protects the order of the Church, I won't allow him to take the sword spirit away!"

Although Lillian's fingers were slender, her palms were covered with calluses, which were proof of her hard sword training day and night.

Gripping the hilt tightly, Lillian pulled out the silver sword with a cross embedded in it from her waist, and pointed the tip of the sword, flashing with cold light, at Xingjian.

"Unless you can defeat me in swordsmanship!"

The saint's last stubbornness.

She was unwilling to admit that her strength was not as good as the silver-haired hunter in front of her.

The Sword-wielding Saint represents the Holy See's top combat power.

I will never lose to a hunter.

"I'm betting on the Saint's dignity. I won't let you take the sword spirit away! Duel with me!"

"I refuse." Xingjian said bluntly.

"Why, why?"

"Altria was planning to go with me anyway, so why should I bet with you? Besides, I don't want to gamble with your so-called saint's dignity."

Xingjian saw through the unfairness of the bet at a glance.

Why am I the only one who suffers?

Xingjian suggested: "If you want to gamble, gamble for money. I want money now."

Having lost more than one million in September, Xingjian, feeling guilty, wanted to make up for it from other places.

"Money, money..." Lillian's soft spot was touched: "I don't have any money."

"let it go."

Seeing Xingjian about to turn around and leave, Lillian became completely anxious.

"But I do! I do..."

Her mind was spinning at an unprecedented speed. But even if Lillian racked her brain, she couldn't figure out what valuable things she, who had been raised in the Vatican since birth, could come up with.

What do you have?

"I have it!" Lillian slapped her chest with the hand that was not holding the sword, and threw the biggest chip.

"I have my own self! If you beat me, I'll be yours!"

"Huh?!" Jiu Yue, Yin Lang and Ying Huo, who were pretending to be passers-by watching this scene, finally couldn't hold it back anymore at this moment.

Is this saint really smart?

Xingjian: "Erica, is the Saint worth money?"

Erica: "Let's not talk about whether it's worth money or not. I feel like if you don't agree to her, she's going to break."

============

I believe everyone has witnessed Awei's high frequency of adding updates.

I just calculated that I only have one chapter left to pay off the update for last month's bounty.

It is a great victory worth celebrating!

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their support for A Wei. You guys have given me so many rewards, and I have not let you down!

Chapter 95: The Saint Who Died in Jade [2 in 1]

Erica's analysis was absolutely correct.

It's about to break, this saint.

The poor saint who had nothing was gambling her own body. This was the last bargaining chip Lillian could think of.

At this moment, the look in Lillian's eyes when she looked at Xingjian showed anger and unwillingness, but also a hint of trembling and humility.

If Xingjian rejects her again, it is hard to imagine what she will do next.

Crazy men are troublesome, and crazy women are even more troublesome.

But what’s the point of Xingjian having a sword-wielding saint?

Come on, you might as well bet on that sword of yours.

I have to say that this saint doesn't look very smart.

But Xingjian could also feel that Lillian was not a bad person, completely different from the previous Earl Frostling.

She's just a fool.

"Okay." In order to prevent Lillian from going crazy again, Xingjian reluctantly gave in.

"Since you agreed, there's no chance to regret it!"

Lillian, who had been a little nervous just a second ago, immediately felt relieved, and raised the silver sword in her hand high into the sky.

"I swear to the noble gods, placing the souls of both parties on opposite sides of the scale to ensure the fairness and sanctity of this duel! In the name of Saint Lillian, I establish this oath!"

"Lady Saint!" Seeing Vivian sign the duel contract without saying a word, the other Vatican staff around her became panicked.

The oath of duel is a special rule of the Holy See.

Generally speaking, it only applies to people within the Vatican.

Because it was an oath sworn to the gods, and those within the Vatican were absolutely unable to disobey their faith, the special rules of the "oath" did have an extraordinary binding force on Vatican personnel.

But Xingjian is not a member of the Vatican and does not believe in gods.

Only Vatican personnel above the level of Saint can swear an oath to duel with someone other than the Vatican.

The restraint method is also very simple and crude.

If you violate the oath, it is equivalent to challenging the authority of the entire church.

It is difficult to survive by being an enemy of the entire Vatican, at least in Granna and the two Western countries.
