Chapter 19 Demon Sword Red Moon
Demon Sword!
This is a synonym for an evil sword!
A weapon that can be called a demon sword naturally has a terrifying story behind it.
From Major Kahn's narration, Coles learned about the demon sword incident related to this mural.
"More than a hundred years ago, the Silver Moon Kingdom was attacked by thousands of pirates. Because the pirates were so powerful, the knights defending the country could not resist and fell into a precarious state.
Although the king sent a request for help to the World Government in time, the pirates had already attacked the city gate, and distant water could not save the nearby fire.
In the critical moment, the king had to pin his hopes on the demon sword "Red Moon" that had been sealed for generations in the country!
Although this sword can bring powerful power to people, it is very strange. It is said that using it will bring endless disasters to the user!
But facing the danger of the country's destruction, the king can only choose to let someone pull out the sealed sword.
The Grand Knight "Lanlos" is the strongest knight in the country and is also the candidate selected to pull out the famous sword.
After pulling out the famous sword, the Grand Knight Lanlos also completely defeated the thousands of pirates who attacked with the powerful strength brought by the demon sword."
Coles waited for Major Kahn's words, because the story must not be over yet. If it ended like this, then this famous sword that has been sealed for generations would not be enough to be called a "demon sword"!
Kahn came to the ninth mural and continued to tell the story: "Although Grand Knight Commander Lanros defeated the pirate group, his murderous intent did not dissipate afterwards, because the demon sword Hongyue had already controlled him...
In addition, the remaining knights in the battle were also controlled by the demon sword. After returning to the castle, they started killing everyone in the castle. In the end, no one survived in the castle and blood flowed like a river..."
"This is the story of the demon sword Hongyue!"
Coles quickly digested this information and then raised a question.
"Major, do you think that the dead knights we just met are the knights who were controlled by the demon sword?"
Kahn combined the various situations of the ghost ship and answered: "I think so."
Coles also felt that this possibility was very high, but there was still a doubt.
Why are there these murals here?
As knights who wanted to protect their country but ended up ending the country, these things should be the things they are most reluctant to face.
Why do they have to carve them with murals? Is it because of repentance? !
Also, how did this ship become a ghost ship, just because of the demon sword?
Although the identities of the Death Knights have been almost solved, the secrets on this ghost ship are increasing.
After explaining the story of the demon sword, Kahn and Coles continued to search on the lower deck.
However, apart from the historical murals, nothing else was found.
...
On the patrol ship.
Lieutenant Mod looked at the ghost ship not far away, feeling anxious.
It has been more than half an hour since Major Kahn and Coles entered the ghost ship, but there is still no movement on the ghost ship. Could it be that the major and his men are in danger?
Other navy recruits also have this worry in their hearts, and their faces are full of sorrow.
A navy said with some concern.
"What should we do if Major Kahn and his men have an accident on the ghost ship?"
Mod immediately said angrily: "Major Kahn took Coles to explore the ghost ship for our safety. Are you still worried about yourself now?"
The navy who spoke up immediately looked remorseful.
Mod turned to look at the others and said, "I'm going to take a small boat to the ghost ship to help the major, because Major Kahn once saved my life. Even if I can only do a little, I'm going to go.
If you want to go with me, you can follow me. If you are afraid and don't want to go, you can stay here!"
A bearded marine immediately responded.
"I'll go. If it weren't for Major Kahn blocking the pirate's knife for me, I would have lost my arms and legs. It's just a ghost ship. I'm not afraid of it!"
Then, more marines spoke up.
"Well said, it's just a ghost ship. Major Kahn has always taught us not to be afraid of difficulties. I'll go too. Even if I die, I'll be a hero."
"As a subordinate, how can I let Major Kahn face this danger alone? I'll go with him."
Resonance is a very powerful force.
With more and more navies responding, the navies on the patrol ship became excited and completely got rid of their fear of ghost ships.
"Okay, since everyone has decided to go together, let's drive the patrol ship directly over, land on the ghost ship, and help Major Kahn."
Mod looked around at the excited navy, and then raised his long sword.
"Head to the ghost ship!"
...
And on the third deck of the ghost ship.
Kahn still knew nothing about it.
After dealing with the dead knights on this floor, he and Coles began to search for information left here.
There are many rooms on the third deck.
And this also means that on this ghost ship, in addition to the knights controlled by the demon sword, there should have been many people living here before.
It's a pity that there is no information related to the demon sword on the third floor except for some scattered objects.
The last one that has not been explored.
That's only the fourth deck!
And there is where Coles felt the powerful power of the dead, and similarly, all the secrets of this ghost ship are hidden there.
"Now we can only go to the upper deck to take a look. Are you ready for the battle?" Kahn asked Coles.
"Ready." Coles's condition had already recovered completely.
"Then let's go!"
Kahn took the lead and walked up the stairs.
Ta-da-da!
In this silent ghost ship, the sound of boots stepping on the wooden stairs was particularly obvious.
Perhaps because of the influence of this sound, Coles became a little nervous, and his heartbeat was a little rapid.
Finally, the stairs reached the end.
In front of the two was an ancient wooden door.
Although he did not enter it, Coles could feel that there was a strong danger behind the door.
In addition, it seemed that there was a magic inside, which kept attracting him and made him want to reveal everything eagerly.
But it was this attraction that made Coles feel a little weird!
This ghost ship seemed to be a little wrong!
Coles wanted to dissuade Major Kahn, but his decision was too slow.
Kahn had already reached out and pushed open the wooden door!
Creak!
The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and everything sleeping inside came into the eyes of the two.
There was no other structure on the fourth deck, just a very empty space.
Because there were some tatters on the top of the cabin, sparse starlight shone in from the gap, allowing people to clearly see what was ahead.
In the deepest part was a pile of dazzling treasures.
This treasure was ten times more than the treasure left by Coles' ancestor, Count Charles.
Even Coles, who was not interested in money, was excited.
However, in addition to the huge amount of treasure, there was also a knight wearing silver armor and a tattered cloak on his back!
Completely different from those dead knights, the dead power of this silver-armored knight was terrifying.
Combining his previous guesses with the story told by Major Kahn, Coles had guessed the identity of the silver-armored knight in front of him.
The Grand Knight of the Silver Moon Kingdom a hundred years ago!
"Lanlos"!
As for the blood-red long sword in the hand of the silver-armored knight, there was no doubt.
That is the legendary demon sword Red Moon!
