Chapter 19 The Idea of Forging the Holy Sword
Inside a luxurious villa, Lan Su sat silently on the sofa while Yaz bandaged his wounds.
This villa is the property of the Kamishiro family, but the Kamishiro siblings mostly stay at the base and rarely return to live here.
Linghua stared at Lan Su on the sofa in silence, lost in thought. Lan Su, on the other hand, was wondering about the origins of the guy who looked just like him.
For a moment, the only sound in the living room was the rubbing of Yaz bandaging his wound.
After a long silence, Linghua finally broke it, asking tentatively, "Did you remember something?"
Linghua's question interrupted Lan Su's thoughts, pulling him out of his reverie.
"Um."
After confirming, Lan Su no longer concealed anything.
Linghua didn't press for details; if Lansu wanted to tell her, he would.
"Those creatures that crossed worlds to hunt me down are called angels, or some call them Venerable Ones, created by the creator god of another world."
Upon hearing Lan Su's explanation, Linghua's pupils contracted, and her clasped hands clenched unconsciously.
"That creator god, is that the 'Black God' you mentioned when you were talking to that guy who suddenly appeared?"
Lan Su was surprised by Linghua's sharp reaction; she had actually remembered these clues from their previous conversation.
"I was originally..."
"Gatling gun, Gatling gun!"
Just as Linghua was about to reveal her identity, her Gatling phone rang.
"Brother!...Yes, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Linghua looked conflicted. Lingya had just called to inquire about her mission progress.
"The Holy Lord just called through my brother to ask about the progress of the mission..."
"Go ahead, you know how fast I recover."
Lan Su smiled the same smile as always and gave Linghua a thumbs up.
"Then take good care of your injury and don't run around!"
Linghua knew Lan Su's temperament and gave him a warning in advance.
"I promise!"
Before leaving, Lan Su spoke to Linghua in a slightly serious tone.
"However, the Book of Destruction is a forbidden book, heavily guarded. How could the seal suddenly loosen if no one touched it?"
Linghua, who had reached the door, paused slightly before quickly resuming her movements.
Lan Su sighed softly, "Sigh, Yaz, do you think she'll believe my warning?"
"Yaz doesn't know, but I'll believe whatever Lord Lansu says!"
Yaz tidied up the medical kit and said seriously.
"Ahhh, she truly is my cutest and most capable secretary!"
Lan Su couldn't help but reach out and pinch Az's cheek, secretly praising Ark as a truly excellent artificial intelligence.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Yaz felt that his system was running more smoothly.
Let's rewind to a short time ago.
Following the incredibly twisted and evil aura, Lan Su from the Dark Side arrived at the base of the three Megiddo executives.
As soon as he reached the door, Anmian Lansu overheard the conversation inside.
Stryus: "Now we have six swordsmen."
Zios: "Has the time finally come?"
Stryus: "Raziel has already begun preparations!"
"Bang!"
The front door of the house was kicked open, and Anmian Lansu swaggered in.
"Hey, what mischief are you plotting? Tell me!"
"Who are you? The guy who stole the Nameless Sword!"
Kamijou Daichi was the first to recognize the Dark Side Lan Su. He and the three Megiddo executives had been secretly watching the events that Bacht had caused by breaking the seal.
"What are you doing here?" Old Wu remained calm and sat on the sofa without panicking.
"You're pretty arrogant, daring to come here alone."
On the contrary, Zios could no longer restrain himself and came up to Lan Su, looking ready to make a move.
Lan Su, the man from the dark side, had no interest in such a brainless fellow. He took out his nameless sword and, without saying a word, delivered a fatal blow!
A powerful energy slash aimed at Zios's chest, but he quickly transformed into Megiddo and raised his arms to block it.
A tearing sound came from the ground, and Ziosi's body was pushed back several meters before he took the blow from the Dark Side Lan Su.
Having witnessed the strength of the Dark Side Lan Su, the three people present became wary.
"Oh dear, don't be nervous! I just want to make some friends with you all."
Lan Su gestured to the others not to be nervous and sat down naturally on the sofa.
…………
At the North Base, a heated argument is taking place.
"Leave me alone!"
"That won't do!"
As soon as Touma and Mei arrived at the North District base, they saw Rintaro and Kento arguing and pulling at each other.
"What's going on here?!" Mei asked softly, noticing the tense atmosphere, but no one paid her any attention.
Rintaro: "I understand your desire to know the truth, but you've been blinded by it! As a swordsman of the organization, how can you let your personal emotions interfere with your mission!"
The Sage: "Before becoming a swordsman, I was also a human being!"
"Shut up, all of you!"
Daqin Temple couldn't stand the atmosphere and interrupted the argument between the two.
He came to their side, and Mei thought he would come to mediate the fight as a senior.
result…
"I hate arguing the most! (Feeling extremely wronged)"
Daqin Temple walked right past the two of them, stood at the doorway, said something aggrievedly, and then fled the scene.
This left Touma and Mei, who were standing nearby, stunned. They had witnessed a completely new side of the Daishinji Temple.
"If you cannot obey the organization's orders, please return the Holy Sword immediately."
"I will return it after this is all over."
After being interrupted by Daqin Temple, the tension between the two eased somewhat.
Kento, no longer wanting to argue with Rintaro, decided to leave the base.
"Please wait a moment!"
Rintaro, however, did not want to let Kento run wild. Having grown up in the Sword of Truth, he had long regarded the organization as his own home.
He treated every member of the organization like his own family.
…………
A day later, Lan Su looked at the "Record of the Descending Demon" in his hand with some distress.
Now suddenly a guy who looks exactly like him has appeared, and he is very powerful, and seems to have the power of the Black God.
With his current strength, he would probably have a hard time fighting against that guy, not to mention that guy has the ability to summon Venerables.
"Can't this book be used without the Holy Sword?"
Lan Su sighed softly, leaned back on the sofa, and tossed the fantasy book in his hand.
"If needed, why can't we make a holy sword ourselves?"
Yaz sat obediently on the sofa next to him and offered his suggestions.
"Alas, we don't know the principle behind it either. These holy swords were forged by swordsmiths from a thousand years ago."
"Wait, it seems there's someone else who appears capable of creating a new holy sword!"
Lan Su suddenly stood up, instantly becoming alert!
"How could I forget about that guy? Isn't Daqin Temple the heir of a sword-forging family?!"
"Let's go! Yaz, let's go to the North Base and ask around!"
After putting on his coat, Lan Su located the coordinates of the North District base where he had entered last time, and led Yaz into the Narac Curtain.
While the operation was underway in Lansu, Raziel, one of the three executives of Megiddo, summoned six Megiddo goblins.
Six goblins, Megiddo, arrive at a specific location, open a blank book, and transport the neighborhood into a fantasy world.
Inside the North Zone base.
Mei's Detective Book revealed the presence of six Megiddos, prompting Touma and Daishinji to rush to the scene to rescue the citizens.
No sooner had Touma and Daishinji left than Sophia suddenly appeared and handed Mei a key.
"Mei, this is a very important item, so I'll have to look after the house for you."
After giving Mei her instructions, Sofia left the North District base alone.
Linghua, who was secretly monitoring, also realized that this was a perfect opportunity and followed Sophia.
No sooner had everyone left than a golden curtain appeared, and Lan Su and Yaz appeared in the conference hall of the North District base.
"W-Who are you?!"
Mei was initially feeling down because everyone else had gone out, leaving her alone to look after the house.
However, upon discovering that a stranger had broken in, they immediately became tense.
Seeing the base empty, Lan Su was a little puzzled. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mei kneeling on the ground, looking at him warily.
"Hey? It's you, handsome Lan Su!"
Upon seeing Lan Su's appearance, Mei instantly lowered her guard.
She got up from the ground and came to Lan Su's side, looking him over curiously.
"That's great! It's nothing serious! I was worried for a long time when I saw you get injured in the book after being attacked by bad guys."
Mei reached out and patted Lan Su's firm chest, reverting to her optimistic personality.
"Thank you for your concern. May I ask about the others?"
Unable to resist Mei's enthusiasm, Lan Su hurriedly interrupted her to inquire about the current situation.
"That's right, many streets in the city suddenly disappeared, and Fei Yuzhen and the others went to deal with the reappearing Migito!"
"I see."
Lan Su scratched his head in frustration, realizing he had come at the wrong time.
Hearing the screams coming from the reconnaissance book, Lan Su decided to go to the scene to deal with Migido first.
"Azu, this is Mei. You stay here with Mei for now, I'll be right back."
"Lord Lan Su, please take care of your health and be cautious in all matters."
Although Yaz was somewhat reluctant, he obediently stayed in the base.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Lan Su patted Yaz's head and headed to the battlefield to provide support.
Inside a park.
Rintaro was worried about Kento and stayed close behind him.
"Why are you following me?" Seeing that he couldn't shake off Rintaro, Kento could only try to persuade him not to follow.
Rintaro bluntly said, "To prevent you from acting on your own, a swordsman should not be swayed by personal feelings."
"What do you know! Do you understand how it feels to have a traitor as your father?!"
Xianren was on the verge of collapse. For more than ten years, he had been driven to despair by his father's betrayal of the organization.
This led to the death of his childhood friend Luna, and Touma lost his memory, leaving him with a deep sense of guilt.
(The main characters are currently unaware that Luna is still alive.)
"I don't understand, because I don't have parents."
"The Sword of Truth is like home to me. I have no family, but I was raised by the organization. The swordsmen are like my family."
Rintaro's frank answer left Kento momentarily speechless, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes.
But he still stubbornly insisted, "That's your own private matter, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Kento's words, Rintaro's mood visibly somber.
Rintaro is truly loyal to and loves the Sword of Truth, but if he were to learn of the Sword of Truth's darkness, he would be the one who suffers the most and breaks down the most.
