Chapter 278 The Strong One at the Top of the Tower
"I do not want!"
"That's right. I don't want things to become too complicated. It's time to show off my disguise skills."
So the two of them exchanged identities in the secluded alley.
At Catherine's repeated request, the two played a couple.
Under the protection of his new identity, Liu Chi looked towards the tall tower in the distance.
"Let's go and take a look! You won't be afraid now that you have a new identity, right?"
Catherine took Liu Chi's arm and followed Liu Chi's sight to see the tall tower belonging to the Swordsman's Glory. In the past three days, she and Liu Chi had walked through the streets of the entire eastern part of Hull, but they had never been to the tall tower.
Liu Chi's gaze returned to Catherine, and the two looked at each other.
"Then let's go and take a look. I remember there seems to be something extraordinary there."
Then the two of them began to move towards the tower. A missing person notice suddenly appeared in the early morning, making the people in the area realize that the person in the painting was not simple.
None of the people who could be posted on the streets of Hull, which was under curfew overnight, were ordinary people.
Soon, those who had come into contact with Liu Chi and others found the location on the missing person notice with their own clues. However, what was waiting for them was not five diamond coins, but a thank you. So the missing person notice became popular for a day, and no one paid any attention to it anymore.
The two of them walked towards the tower while strolling, and after lunch, they stood in front of the large square in front of the tower.
Liu Chi's eyes were fixed on the yellow stones piled up in the distance.
"Do you know what that is?"
"What is it? Isn't it just a decoration?"
“It is indeed a decoration, but when I saw it, I figured out what the book was talking about.”
"What book? What thing?"
In order to let Catherine know what was in the distance, Liu Chi asked a local passing by,
"Uncle, is that the legendary holy sword - the Proof of Courage?"
"Proof of courage?"
The middle-aged man who was asked laughed.
"I didn't expect that someone would take this seriously. It's a fake sword. If you want to pick it up, you have to find a way to pick yourself up!"
"Can you explain it, uncle?"
"Let me tell you this, the sword you can see up there is integrated with what you are standing on. I don't know why the people in the Sword Tower would make such a joke."
The man smiled,
"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself. I see that you are from outside the area, so it's normal that you don't know. Don't be fooled by rumors."
The man became excited as he spoke, but he still waved at the two of them and left the spot.
"Now you know what that is?"
"Proof of courage?"
Catherine couldn't believe it.
"is that true?"
"So do you believe what I said, or what the uncle said just now?"
"Go over and have a look!"
Then, Liu Chi was impatiently pulled over by Catherine.
As they approached, the two slowly climbed up the two-story-high yellow stone, and the outer edge of the yellow stone was built with decorative stairs of the same color for easy climbing.
Looking at several little boys playing around at the Certificate of Courage nearby, Liu Chi walked over with a smile.
"Hey, you guys, what are you doing?"
"I'm competing with a few of them! Do you want to join?"
A little boy said to Liu Chi, that unlike other children, he had no fear or vigilance towards strangers, and was born to be a community bull.
"What's so fun about children's fighting? I'm here for this!"
Liu Chi smiled and pointed to the hilt of a long sword stuck in the ground. The sword body was very plain, just like the worst batch of goods in a weapons store, but its blade maintained its luster, as if it had never experienced any wind and frost.
After hearing Liu Chi's words, several children came to the hilt of the sword and scrambled to draw the sword. Finally, several people worked together, but the sword did not move at all.
"We can't do it, and neither can you!" the kid said mockingly.
"Madam! Show them your skills!"
Hearing Liu Chi's voice, Catherine paused for a moment before walking over with a smile.
"There is a book... Let me give it a try!"
The word "princess" that came out of her mouth subconsciously was immediately changed by Catherine.
A group of children immediately made way for Catherine.
"You guys play here every day, right?"
Liu Chi asked, probably many families used this square as a place to play, and the children formed small groups.
"I told you not to!"
The child's attention was completely not on Liu Chi's words, but on Catherine who was trying to pull out the hilt of the sword.
Liu Chi also glanced at Catherine beside him.
"Then I'll try it too. It's just for fun."
Liu Chi grasped the hilt of the sword with his left hand with a playful attitude.
Liu Chi originally just wanted to pretend, since he knew he couldn't lift it anyway. Unexpectedly, when he exerted a little force, the Certificate of Courage seemed to be activated.
After feeling something strange in his hand, Liu Chi suddenly frowned, his whole body trembled slightly, and he immediately withdrew his hand.
The child who was staring at Liu Chi immediately covered his mouth in disbelief.
"Hey! Did you just pick it up? I saw it move!"
Liu Chi reacted and immediately laughed.
"You must have seen it wrong!"
So Liu Chi immediately held the hilt of the sword with both hands again and began to show off his acting skills. After an exaggerated performance, the children finally believed that they had seen it wrong.
At this moment, the three old men on the high tower suddenly opened their eyes.
"I never thought that I would meet someone chosen by the Holy Sword in my lifetime!"
"Master said that once the holy sword is picked up by someone, it will mean great changes in the world. It is time for the three of us to leave the mountain."
"Let us meet our new master."
As the conversation ended, the three old men stood up from their meditation postures, and the magic energy that had accumulated over a long period of time caused ripples around them.
Another place on top of the tower.
"The Three Saints have awakened!"
At this time, a swordsman who was appointed as the manager of the Swordsman Tower shouted,
The other six sword masters in the hall stopped what they were doing and followed the manager to the stairs that they had never stepped on before.
"The eight people in the Sword Tower respectfully welcome the arrival of the Three Saints!!!"
The middle-aged man in the lead half-knelt on the ground with his head buried, and shouted loudly to the three old men.
"Go away! You have nothing to do here, just do what you need to do!"
"Follow me!!!"
None of the seven sword masters kneeling on the scene dared to raise their heads. The warning they had heard from their predecessors was that if they were curious enough to look at the appearance of the three saints, the only outcome would be death.
The three old men walked down the stairs leisurely. As they went downstairs, their appearance was no longer the same as before. They blended in with the disciples of the Sword Tower. No one was suspicious of these three unfamiliar faces.
Because in the three high towers, except for the eight people at the top, no one will deliberately remember some unknown people. Socializing here is like useless waste. Everyone comes to the tower to practice with only one purpose, and that is to become strong.
There is no academy in the southern continent or the Kingdom of Los, there are only three tall towers.
After explaining to the children, Liu Chi quickly took Catherine to find a carriage outside the square and went directly to the carriage in the west of Hull.
