Through the hole in the wall, one could not only see Matthew inside but also Salazar, who looked as if he had just had the shock of his life.
This sword could easily kill a master.
The crown prince was the most thrilled at that moment.
"Hahaha, I knew it! How could I possibly bring a piece of crap after spending so much energy to move it here? Has your cultivation base healed already?"
Compared to the long sword, Salazar was more concerned about Matthew's condition.
If he had been on the receiving end of the sword just now, he would have been killed on the spot.
After feeling his body for a while, Matthew noticed that his hara still felt empty. There didn't seem to be any presence of essential Qi floating inside.
Matthew shook his head in denial. "Nope! I wasn't the one who drew the sword earlier. It seems like it is an aftereffect from the previous owner of the sword."
After saying that, he felt quite disappointed.
"Why don't you try again?" the crown prince suggested.
Matthew nodded in response since he was about to do that. After all, the sword held hope in restoring his hara.
After stabilizing his emotions, he was about to raise the sword again when the sword energy suddenly vanished.
At the same time, his long sword sank, and it suddenly seemed to carry a tonne of weight.
As Matthew was caught off guard, the long sword slipped from the palm of his hands in an instant.
To his surprise, the sword produced a crisp clanging sound when it fell to the ground instead of a heavy thud!
Huh? Was it just an illusion?
Crouching down, Matthew clutched the hilt of the sword again!
When he tried to move his arm, however, the heavy feeling of the sword hit him again.
He couldn't lift it up at all!
Taking a deep breath, Matthew attempted once again.
"Get up!"
Despite his face flushing and the veins on his forehead popping, the long sword remained motionless.
How is this possible? Even though my hara was damaged, and I have completely lost my cultivation base, my physical form of energy after the cultivation of essential Qi is still present. There should be no problem for me to carry the weight of a hundred pounds with one hand.
After patting the dust off his bum, the crown prince crouched down beside the long sword and began to study it carefully.
At that moment, he suddenly discovered that the part of the rust connecting the sword body and the hilt was a little loose.
Out of curiosity, he reached out and patted it.
The rust fell off following his movements.
"Hey! There are words here. R-E-A what?! Damn it. It's too blurry! I can't tell what is written on it."
Hearing the crown prince's exclamation, Matthew and Salazar walked over curiously.
"Ancient typeface!" Crouching down, Salazar took a glance and immediately recognized it.
The crown prince looked at Salazar in awe before asking, "You're so cool, Sal! I can't believe you can read ancient typefaces. Hurry up and tell me what these words mean."
Unfortunately, Salazar was merely able to recognize them. Requesting him to interpret the meaning was a challenge.
"Uh, I have to look it up. Give me a moment."
With that, he stood up and made a beeline to the room.
