115. Old Friend, Please Speak!

The mage doubted whether he was dreaming.

"The Holy Sword is resisting its return."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

This was clearly an unexpected situation.

The ceremony to guide the return of the Holy Sword was not to allow any mishaps.

The Holy Sword was of vital importance to the human race and had to be firmly in the hands of humans.

Most humans were unaware of the gap between them and those much stronger superior races.

Humans only knew that the foreign races in this world were strong, but believed that these foreign races were not invincible.

Especially after the Human Sword Saint Wright returned from the Dragon Kingdom, it strengthened the confidence of the humans.

But in the end, the current "Sword Saint" was just a false hero created by the Rhine Cabinet.

He was not a true dragon slayer.

But as long as they had the Holy Sword, the Rhine Cabinet could continue to create heroes.

As long as they guided the Holy Sword back to the human world and selected a qualified person for training, once the new Holy Sword wielder was born, they could let the current "Human Sword Saint" retire and seamlessly transition to uphold a new hero as the idol of humanity, thus stabilizing the internal affairs of the human race.

If this plan went smoothly, the false hero could not only create a lot of value for the Rhine Cabinet but also suppress other powers within the Rhine Kingdom. As the human race's hero, the Sword Saint standing in the Rhine Kingdom would be tantamount to gaining public support and could very legitimately carry out various actions.

When there was a risk of exposure, they would hold a so-called "inheritance" ceremony to let a safe and useful new puppet take over, becoming the new hero of the human race.

For the Schubert family, this was simply a very profitable deal.

But no one expected that there would be a problem with the return of the Holy Sword.

"This is no joke!! For the ceremony of the Holy Sword's return, we have been preparing for a full five years! If it fails, the next ceremony for the Holy Sword's return will have to wait another five years!"

The core members of the Rhine Cabinet's high-level officials all spoke with impatience and anger in their voices.

"You cannot afford the consequences of this."

The mage's face was pale, "No, my lord, it's really not my fault! There were no mistakes in the process of the ceremony, everything went according to plan!"

"If it went according to plan, this weapon should have already been imbued with the power of the Holy Sword and become the new Holy Sword, not a piece of scrap metal!!"

"My lord, I'm telling the truth, I swear, from the beginning of the guiding ceremony, there was no problem, but no matter how we call for the Holy Sword, the Holy Sword is resisting its return, this is the will of the Holy Sword!"

The mage knelt on the ground, desperately explaining.

He was afraid.

The core members of the Rhine Cabinet's high-level officials not only frowned.

In fact, they themselves knew that the life of this mage was in the hands of the Rhine Cabinet, he was an obedient dog, dared not to act rashly, if he did this job well, whether it was money or a future, it was all bright; but on the contrary, if he messed up, there was absolutely no benefit, and he would lose his life, it was not worth doing something that was all harm and no benefit.

"You say, the Holy Sword is resisting its return?"

"Yes, my lord, this is the will of the Holy Sword, no one can shake it." The mage helplessly lowered his head.

"Do you think, if it is really the Holy Sword that is resisting its return, what could be the reason?"

"Could it be that the Holy Sword has given up on humanity?"

"Impossible, throughout history, how many foreign races have tried to take the Holy Sword, but in the end, the Holy Sword will definitely return to the human world, it always stands on our human side."

Since its birth, the Holy Sword has been bound to the human race, and foreign races have tried many times to take the Holy Sword, but to no avail.

It only recognizes the soul of humans and fights alongside the Holy Sword wielder.

Humans have gone through several major crises, all of which were resolved by the Holy Sword wielder and the Holy Sword together.

In history, the Holy Sword wielder could even contend with the terrifying kings of superior races like the Storm King.

If we trace back further to the ancient times, there are even more glorious achievements.

It can be said that as long as the Holy Sword is in the human world, the human race's lower limit can be absolutely guaranteed.

This is the mission of the Holy Sword since its birth, to protect humanity, unchanging through the ages.

"Could it be that the Holy Sword is resisting its return because… Wright is not dead, he's still alive?"

Someone put forward this guess.

This made it even more unacceptable for the core members of the Rhine Cabinet's high-level officials.

"Wright went to challenge the dragon clan, facing the Silver Dragon Queen head-on. In front of the combat power of the dragon clan, he had no chance of surviving."

Wright indeed had great potential and was an outstanding Holy Sword wielder.

However, he had not yet reached the limit of a Holy Sword wielder, and even if he burned himself out and awakened the Holy Sword, he could not withstand the powerful dragon clan.

He must be dead.

He also had to be dead.

If Wright were still alive, this was something the Schubert family could not accept no matter what.

"Would Wright side with the dragons?"

"That's even more absurd, that's even less likely! Think about it yourself, Wright's character has always been resolute and unyielding, he would rather die than submit to the dragon clan, he would definitely fight to the last moment and not put down his sword."

Because that's the kind of person he was, destined to become a hero.

The Schubert family knew this.

Unfortunately, heroes can also be sacrificed as expendable goods in the face of huge interests.

"And think about it, the dragon race is such a proud race, the strongest of the superior races, how could they possibly accept an outsider, especially one from the race they look down upon the most, us?"

"That's true."

The core members of the Rhine Cabinet's high-level officials could never figure out the reason.

But the loss of the Holy Sword was something no one could afford.

The ceremony had to continue.

"Increase the effort, continue to call for the Holy Sword, by any means necessary, we must make the Holy Sword return to the human world!"

"As you command, my lord."

…

In the Dragon Palace, Xia Lulu's room.

On the soft big bed, the silver-haired dragon loli was hugging a pillow, immersed in sweet dreams, rolling around on the bed with the pillow, rolling to the edge of the bed, half of her body falling off.

"Umm… huh?"

Xia Yi opened her sleepy eyes.

"Is it morning already?"

She yawned, waking up, and climbed back onto the bed.

Trying hard to stand up, but still so sleepy, her little feet slipped, and she sat on the bed in a duck-sitting manner.

At this moment, Xia Lulu's room was empty except for her.

And Xia Lulu's whereabouts were unknown…

She probably got up and went to work?

Xia Lulu must have been considerate of her, moving very quietly, specially not to wake her up.

"Hehe~"

Perhaps because she had just woken up, Xia Yi was not very clear-headed, she hugged her pillow and laughed again.

She remembered the things from last night, sticking with Xia Lulu for a long time on the bed, slowly falling asleep…

Suddenly, her hand began to glow with light.

"Wow!!"

Xia Yi was startled into full alertness, her sleepiness instantly vanishing.

It was the mark of the Holy Sword!

The mark of the Holy Sword on the back of her hand was flashing non-stop, the frequency so exaggerated it filled the room with multicolored light, like car headlights. Xia Yi had never seen the Holy Sword so agitated before.

This is bad!

Could it be that the Holy Sword was pouring out its dissatisfaction, questioning her?

"No, that's not it!!"

Xia Yi raised her hand, feeling very guilty, without even thinking about what she was guilty of.

"Old friend, calm down, it's definitely not what you think!!"

Without much thought, she went straight into a standard opening stance.

Could it be that the Holy Sword was dissatisfied with her actions yesterday?

But, but!

She was indeed plotting a very malicious plan to take revenge on Xia Lulu.

From the beginning of the plan to the execution, there was not a single problem!

At most, there was just a tiny mistake in her operation when delivering the final blow.

But things shouldn't just be judged by the outcome, the process matters too, right?

"Old friend, I'm taking revenge on Xia Lulu, I have never forgotten my pride as a Sword Saint… Ahhh! Stop flashing!"

It seemed like the Holy Sword wasn't listening to her explanation at all, the flashing continued relentlessly, as if undergoing a merciless interrogation.

This made Xia Yi feel very ashamed.

Thinking carefully about what she did last night, making such a fuss just to set off fireworks, then personally making a cake for Xia Lulu, and in the end, even running to Xia Lulu's bed…

Could it be that the old friend was angry?

No, she had to think of how to be stubborn… oh no, how to explain!

She had to explain clearly!

"Come out, Holy Sword, Gram!" Xia Yi called out the name of the Holy Sword loudly.

Following that, the Holy Sword was summoned.

Because she was really nervous and felt embarrassed, she didn't hold it directly but placed it on the bed.

"Um, old friend, it's been a while since we last saw each other, right? Ahaha, I've been quite busy lately~"

Xia Yi touched her head, smiling stiffly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Of course, the Holy Sword wouldn't speak.

It just lay there, motionless.

"Old friend, let's talk, I know you're anxious, but don't be hasty."

Ding ding ding!

The Holy Sword lit up again.

"Ugh!! Old friend, listen to me first!! I have my reasons, I really haven't fallen! Think about it, first of all, I'm not as strong as Xia Lulu, right? Even if I go straight up and clash with her, there's no chance of winning, it's just asking for trouble!"

"But even if I lose, deep down I won't admit defeat, I've always been thinking about how to surpass Xia Lulu! Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win every battle you fight. What I'm doing now is understanding Xia Lulu, deeply understanding her, knowing her weaknesses, so I can have the upper hand in battle!"

"Everything I did last night was just acting, no one really thinks I've fallen, right? It was all an act! But Xia Lulu fell for it, she really thought I had completely become a dragon, and thus let down her guard. Just with that, I've won! It's a good start!"

Xia Yi covered her face with her arms, her cheeks flushed red, and she explained all this to the Holy Sword.

With this, the Holy Sword should believe in her determination, right?

She had made herself very clear, without any ambiguity.

She thought that the Holy Sword would agree with her, as the two of them had been through countless battles and crossed numerous life-and-death crises together!

However—

Ding ding ding!

The Holy Sword continued to shine, still glowing.

"Wuwu! Old friend, are you being unreasonable! Why won't you listen to a word I say!" Xia Yi really couldn't understand.

Why was the Holy Sword being so unreasonable today?

Wait, wait…

Something seemed off about the Holy Sword.

Xia Yi placed her hand on the Holy Sword.

The mark of the Holy Sword on her hand lit up, and the frequency of the light emitted by the Holy Sword didn't seem like it was angry.

She closed her eyes, calmed down, and felt it carefully.

She discovered something astonishing.

Someone was summoning the Holy Sword!

Xia Yi was stunned.

Some entity was performing some kind of ritual, in a very distant place, trying to construct a channel, attempting to snatch the Holy Sword away from her side.

And the intense reaction of the Holy Sword was its resistance to such an act.

Clearly, the Holy Sword did not wish to be summoned.

"So that's it, I'm sorry, old friend, I was wrong!"

Xia Yi had an epiphany, a look of guilt washing over her face.

"I actually doubted you, it's my fault, but now that I think about it, it makes sense. We've been through so much together, if our bond wasn't this strong, how could you have been summoned by me again? No one, no matter who they are, will take you away from me!"

The little princess's eyes brimmed with determination as she took the Holy Sword back into her hands.

"Slash!"

She swung the Holy Sword, cutting through the void, shattering the invisible channel, and completely foiling the plans of those who wished to call the Holy Sword away.

With this action, she proved who the true wielder of the Holy Sword was.

The Holy Sword no longer flashed as it did before but became stable.

"Old friend, it's all right now! I've chased those people away, so no one will bother you anymore!"

Xia Yi smiled at the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword flickered twice, responding to her normally.

"By the way, about last night, you… you mustn't misunderstand, old friend!"

Xia Yi felt that her explanation had been fully understood by the Holy Sword.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close.

But on second thought, since the Holy Sword didn't want to leave her, it meant that it still highly recognized her. After all, the Holy Sword had always seen her actions and would surely make a judgment.

This meant that her spirit as a Sword Saint had not wavered!

Otherwise, when others tried to summon the Holy Sword, the old friend would have left instead of choosing to stay by her side.

But the old friend had not been disappointed in her.

Xia Yi stated firmly, "Holy Sword, rest assured, I will not forget for a moment about surpassing Xia Lulu. From now on, let's work hard together!"

The Holy Sword gave no response.
