Chapter 27 The Evil Spirit of the Castle

"What is it?" the boss asked me.

"Ah, it's nothing! Since you can't identify it, I'll leave first!" I quickly picked up my things and ran away. Balance crystal? Could it be the result of the interaction between the Star of Light and the Star of Darkness? The light star represents light and holiness, and the dark star represents darkness and evil. Isn't the thing produced by the two of them together able to maintain the balance of the coexistence of light and darkness? But why is there another name called Chaos? I don’t understand!

Since this crystal cannot be identified, I will keep it for now. Now I should go back to Clark to get my things back and then go to Liusi City to find Deken. When I ran back to Clark's shop, the first thing he said when he saw me was: "Has it been identified?"

"No! The identification failed! Even a senior appraiser can't identify this thing!"

"It's not surprising. I suspected that this thing came from the Star of Light and the Star of Darkness from the beginning. Now that even the senior appraiser failed to identify it, it further proves my idea."

"Actually, it's not like nothing has been identified. We have identified names, but there are two!"

"Two names?"

"Yes! One is called balance and the other is called chaos!"

"Balance crystal and chaos crystal? Two names that feel very conflicting!"

"It's not too conflicting. Chaos just means that the arrangement is not neat, but that doesn't mean it's unbalanced. Chaos can also be balanced!"

"That's right, but it sounds conflicting at first glance!"

"You yourself said that it is the combination of the Star of Light and the Star of Darkness. With such conflicting parents, is it any wonder that the names are somewhat conflicting?"

"parents?"

"The Chaos Crystal comes from the union of the Star of Light and the Star of Darkness, and they are its parents!"

"Is this okay? By the way, I almost forgot. There's something wrong with your sword!"

After hearing Clark's words, my heart skipped a beat. "Something went wrong? What do you mean?"

"Actually, it's not a big problem, it's just those swords...!"

"What happened to those swords?" Clark was half-sentence at the critical moment, deliberately trying to kill me!

"Don't worry, I'll show it to you and you'll know." Clark turned around and walked into the inner room. After a while, he ran out again holding a box. He put the box on the table and turned the open side towards me. He didn't move and just motioned for me to open it myself.

I slowly opened the box with anxiety, and I was stunned for a moment. I could barely see anything in the dazzling white light, and what lay in the box was just a fluorescent tube with a handle. "What's this?"

"Your sword!"

"My sword?" I lowered my head again and checked for a long time. Although I tried very hard, I swear, this sword, oh no, this fluorescent stick, there is no trace of my Dragon King Sword on it. Strictly speaking, It doesn't even look like a sword! "I...I...my sword? My equipment has always been pitch black, and now you gave me a light stick and then told me it was my sword?" I was about to collapse!

Clark quickly explained: "Actually, that's not the case. This sword is not always so bright. Sometimes it will suddenly turn dark!"

"I don't want to know when it goes dark, I just want to know where is my sword?"

"Isn't this your sword?"

"But I've never seen such a bright sword! You have to tell me why my sword looks like this, right?"

"That's actually true." Clark looked a little embarrassed. "Didn't you keep the 8 Bing Feilong Sword, the Dragon King Sword and the Archangel suit?"

"Yeah! But so what?"

"I just wanted to help you repair the sword, but the Demon-Conquering Pestle didn't seem to be enough. After I used it to merge it, there were still a lot of cracks. I really couldn't find enough equipment to repair the artifact. I had no choice. I finally took the risk. The Archangel Sword was thrown in!"

"What? You put the Archangel Sword into my Dragon King Sword?"

Clark nodded vigorously. "I think even though the attributes are different, it can still be repaired. It's better than letting the Dragon King Sword explode because of lack of enough materials, right?"

"Then what happened now?"

"Don't worry! Later, after I put the Archangel Sword in, a magnetic storm happened again."

"No way? What did you suck in again this time?"

"Is there anything? I just sucked the other 8 flying dragon swords into the furnace!"

"What? What happened next?"

"Then the stove exploded again, and I found this thing in the rubble."

"You said you destroyed my 8 flying dragon swords and an archangel sword and got this one..." I pointed at the things on the table and shook my hands for a long time before I thought of how to describe this thing. "Electric baton?"

"Do you always make mistakes when refining weapons? Even though I'm a high level, it doesn't mean I have a 100% success rate!"

"Forget it, forget it!" I didn't bother to embarrass Clark, it was already like this anyway! "What are the properties of this thing? There must be something special about combining 10 artifacts into one, right?"

Clark touched his chin in embarrassment. "It's quite special to say it's special!"

"Oh? Tell me what's so special about it?"

"The special thing is that I can't take it!"

"What?"

Clark quickly pushed me back into my seat. "Don't get excited! I don't know what's going on. I can't pick this thing up anyway. I guess it may be the resistance effect caused by the sacred properties of the Archangel Sword. I am a member of the Dark Knight no matter what. It’s no surprise that I can’t touch something like this with sacred attributes!”

"The problem is that I also have a dark attribute! And it's even darker than you! How do you want me to use it?"

"Actually, I haven't thought about this!" Clark pointed to the groove on the sword. "I left a groove for you on it. If you can get a dark crystal and put it in, maybe it can combine the effects of the sacred attributes! If it succeeds, you can use it!"

"Dark crystal? My only dark crystal is broken into pieces like this. Where do you want me to find the second piece of this thing? If I have it, why should I repair it?"

"How about... try installing your balance crystal?" Clark suggested in a low voice.

"Balance crystal?" I took out the thing. "What are you talking about? The properties of this thing haven't been identified yet, so there won't be any problems if you install it rashly, right?"

"It's already like this anyway, why don't we just die and become a living doctor?"

"Okay! I'll probably dig it out again!" I threw the balance crystal to Clark.

Clark carefully placed the crystal into the groove at the interface between the sword hilt and the blade. With a slight press, the crystal clicked into the groove, and the linkage mechanism next to it accurately stuck the crystal inside. After the crystal entered, the sword flickered twice and then went out. Just as I was about to reach out to pick it up, I saw a blue flame more than a foot long suddenly appeared on the sword body.

"Mingyan?" I carefully took out the sword by the hilt. The box that had just held the sword body was only supported for a second before it turned into a pile of fly ash, and the table below was almost destroyed. I held the sword in my hand and drew a few random strokes. It felt good. It was a little heavier than before, but it was more comfortable! The sword body seems to have grown longer than before, and it seems that it has changed from a one-handed sword to a two-handed sword. At least I have never seen such a long one-handed sword!

After a few strokes, just when he was about to check the attributes, he heard a click, and Clark's weapon shelf collapsed in two halves from the middle. Then a drawing on the gun suddenly burned up, and two cracks appeared on the ground with a bang. Clark and I looked at the ground at the same time and then looked at each other. "Ah!" The ground suddenly collapsed, and we both fell from the second floor to the first floor.

"Wow! Bah!" I crawled out from the pile of rubble and struggled to spit out the dust in my mouth. "Is your house in disrepair?"

"You bastard, you demolished my house and you said my house is not good!" Clark suddenly jumped out from another pile of rubble and threw me to the ground, then grabbed my neck and shook me desperately: "You destroyer Crazy, give me back my house!”

"Cough cough cough! Quick... let go... I'll pay you... that's it...! Help...!"

After repaying Clark's shop repair fee, I took Ling and Yeying out of the city to the dark forest. God knows why I demolished the house just by drawing a few swords. I didn't have time to look at the properties until now. . This strange sword is no longer the original thing. The name of the sword has become the Holy Dragon's Fang (Blade of Chaos), and the equipment level is a growth-shaped artifact. The sword's attack power is completely invisible. It's not the "???" display that has not been identified, but it is completely absent. This sword either has no attack power or is not marked at all, but I have tested it. This thing has offensive power, and it is obviously much higher than the original Dragon King Sword and Archangel Sword. In terms of attributes, there are several very concise attributes: destroying the opponent's weapon according to its level, decomposing the sword body into 1-9 blades, the attached skill Blade Storm Mastery, and the success rate of infecting the target is random.

I am baffled by these attributes. I have no idea what attributes they are! The attribute of destroying the opponent's equipment obviously comes from the original Sky-Slaying Blade, but why is there still a problem of depending on the opponent's level? The properties of the decomposed sword body obviously come from the Flying Dragon Sword. The original Flying Dragon Sword seems to be still usable, but why is there an extra one? Could it be that the Archangel's Sword can also be decomposed at a critical moment? Blade Storm Mastery is probably set to increase the damage of the Flying Dragon Sword, but what is the last attribute of the infection transformation? It seems that we can’t do it without finding someone to do the experiment!

There are many monsters in the dark forest, so there is absolutely no problem in trying out the sword. With just some random guidance, Yeying quickly found piles of high-level skeletons for me. Although the skeletons are not high in level, they are active monsters and their attacks are very strong. They rushed forward before I even moved. I told Ye Ying and Ling not to help, and I was facing hundreds of skeletons alone. He pulled out the Holy Dragon's Fang from the special fire-proof scabbard. As soon as the blade was unsheathed, flames immediately burst out. The power of the blue flames of hell should not be underestimated.

I waved casually at the group of skeletons, preparing to make a poss and then attack, but this wave was completely unexpected. Something white was thrown out from the sword. At first, I thought it was a sword blade. The weak connection caused me to throw away the blade! But if you look closely, the blade is still there, but what flies out is something else. The white thing rotated like an airplane propeller and flew out. The high-speed rotating white object quickly passed by the skeleton group. The skeleton in contact with the white thing continued to run forward without any reaction, as if there was no damage, but the white rotating body flew in a big circle and came back.

Seeing the thing flying back, I instinctively stretched out my sword to block it, but the white thing didn't fly towards me but aimed at my sword and flew over. There was a sound of metal friction, and the white thing actually merged into my sword. Just as the sword blades merged here, the skeleton over there suddenly exploded into pieces with a bang, and other skeletons suddenly began to attack the skeleton next to them. Now it was completely clear. The so-called blade storm and split sword are to throw the blade out to attack others. As for the infection, it feels like it can transform the monster's camp with a certain probability, but it seems that this attribute will not work on the player.

"Who is it?" A cold voice suddenly appeared in front of me, and then a figure suddenly appeared a few meters in front of me.

The person in front of me suddenly made me dumbfounded. My star pupil can break all invisibility, so this person definitely did not appear in front of me. He was teleported suddenly. It seems that this person has teleportation magic. Items or items themselves transfer magic.

After taking a closer look at the guy in front of me, he was obviously a dark mage in a black robe. Fortunately, people who are not from the light attribute at least do not have the problem of incompatible attributes, and usually players who choose dark attributes are more straightforward. Such people generally do not slander others, and they will just kill them if they don't like them. Very few Stabbing in the back. What I fear most is someone stabbing me in the back. I won’t be afraid of anyone in a head-on fight.

This black-robed mage seemed to be wearing an ordinary black robe. The robe was very large, covering from his neck to his feet. His hands were completely covered, and I couldn't see what he was holding. There are many golden patterns embroidered on the surface of the robe, which look like magic circles at first glance. Only his head was exposed outside the robe. Although I didn't want to, I had to admit that he was very handsome. I have a feminine look, and I can easily be mistaken for a woman accidentally, but he is different. This guy's face is very individual, with clear lines. The only drawback is that this guy always has an expression that is ten degrees below zero. When I see him, I tremble all over, not from fear but from cold.

"Who?" Seeing that I didn't answer, the other party asked again, and his voice was as air-conditioned as I expected.

"I'm Chinese, do you have any opinions?" Although this person was extremely cold, there was no need for me to be afraid of him, and of course I didn't care about what he said.

The other party didn't say anything, just turned around and suddenly disappeared. Damn it, you're playing mystery with me! "Rose Vine! Go and find someone for me!" The whole earth began to shake, and countless tentacles spread out in all directions from under the ground, and soon the information came back. A tentacle with emerald eyes found the guy. This guy was standing on the edge of a small pond. The picture I saw here was his back, so I couldn't see what he was doing.

I took Ling and Yeying and ran over quickly. This guy made me feel very curious. I even suspected that he might be an NPC. Maybe he could get some benefits! "You can run very fast!"

The other person turned around suddenly, and it seemed that he was very surprised that I could find him. If I didn't know his name and couldn't use Star Pupil to directly detect the coordinates, I would have been faster! The other party didn't say anything but immediately disappeared again.

"Why are you pretending to be such a big deal? If you say a few more words, you will die!" I yelled angrily at the people around me. "If you don't see him, you'll see him!" I have no intention of looking for this guy anymore. Although I am sure that I can't catch him if I want to, but I don't have time to waste on being angry with others.

I turned around and was about to leave but found the guy standing behind me. "you are annoying!"

"You are so arrogant!"

"Hahahaha!" We both looked up to the sky and laughed. This guy is really like me before. He longs for contact with others, but his withdrawn personality and fear of getting hurt make him more withdrawn. But since I entered the game, my personality seems to have improved a lot. Everything in the game is illusory, so the psychological barrier of fear of getting hurt is gone. In addition, I have met many like-minded passionate young people, and my psychological The problem seems to have been basically resolved. I didn't expect that I would find someone similar to me.

"Come and sit down?" He actually invited me.

"Yes!" I know what those of us with withdrawn personalities should pay attention to. Answering too many words will have bad effects.

He looked at me and nodded and turned around and disappeared, but this time he didn't run away but appeared in a place where I could see him. I immediately followed him, and when I was almost next to him he disappeared again and then appeared in the next place. I feel that my situation now is a bit like the person in the ghost story who was led away by the ghost. This guy has never taken a step since he appeared just now. Except for turning around, he doesn't seem to have used his legs. He has been using them. Moving in a forward direction, his whereabouts are really erratic!

Soon we left the forest and encountered two hills. For the first time, I discovered that there were hills in the middle of the dark forest. Maybe the dark forest was too big and I didn't walk through all of it. On the left is a mountain that is less than a hundred meters high. Strictly speaking, this mountain cannot be regarded as a mountain because it is a completely isolated stone pillar. This thing is a highland surrounded by cliffs, and there is no way up around it. The mountain on the right is as high as the mountain on the left. The mountain is also a cliff facing the left, but there are winding mountain roads on the other three sides that can go up.

He appeared directly on the top of the mountain, and I had no choice but to climb the mountain path honestly. However, the mountain was only less than 100 meters high anyway, so I could easily climb to the top of the mountain with the help of my wings. When I reached the top of the mountain, I discovered that there was a dark castle standing on the high ground made of cliffs opposite. My first feeling was that I had arrived at Dracula's house. The top heights of the two mountains are the same, because their adjacent faces are cliffs, so they are very close to each other. The mountain we are standing on now has an approximately 30-meter-long iron cable bridge connected to the opposite mountain cliff. The rusty iron chains and broken wooden bridge boards seem to be likely to fall at any time.

He teleported again and appeared on the other side of the bridge. I could only run over carefully. Although the bridge was terrible, I had wings and I wasn't worried about falling. After crossing the bridge and standing in front of the courtyard of the castle, I really felt how scary it was. The dilapidated courtyard was covered with weeds and thorny vines, and a scary black tree stood crookedly in the courtyard. It's a devil that's ready to attack at any time. "Your house really has 'character', it just needs one thing!"

He looked at me doubtfully. "What's missing?"

"There's a sign saying there's a ghost in the house!"

He knew immediately that I was playing tricks on him, and without even seeing him move, a bolt of lightning flew towards me from his body. A wall of mercury quickly formed in front of me. The lightning struck the mercury and disappeared immediately. The conductivity of metal is always very good.

He was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. "please!"

As he raised his hand, the courtyard door opened by itself. The broken iron door, which was so rusty that it could fall down at any time, made a harsh creaking sound. It seemed that it had not been opened for a long time. There were no roads left in the yard, so I could only walk in the direction of the castle gate. The tops of some white stone objects were vaguely exposed among the weeds in the yard. I immediately recognized those as stone tablets, representing tombs. From here, it seems that there are at least nearly a hundred people buried in this small courtyard. This guy’s hobbies are really weird!
