It’s different in the past.
In the Rhineland, a dazzling hero appeared——
Wright Schubert.
In the eyes of humans, he is a sword master who challenges the dragon clan, a brave dragon slayer, a legend who entered the dragon kingdom to challenge the silver dragon queen, and can come back again.
Ever since humans learned of Light's legend, their self-confidence has skyrocketed. They believe that dragons are not invincible and that times have changed. They even think that Rhine's national strength can rival that of the Dragon Kingdom.
But the Rhine Cabinet knew that the human sword master was a fictional legend.
The real dragon slayer has died in a foreign land.
The reason why the Rhine Cabinet knew these inside stories was mainly related to the composition of the Rhine Cabinet.
The current Rhine Kingdom is not quite the same as the ancient Rhine Kingdom.
The former Rhine Kingdom was arguably the most powerful human nation on this earth. The ancient Rhine Emperor was like a great overlord who fought wars in the south and the north, making the Rhine Kingdom extremely powerful.
The Rhine Kingdom annexed many countries, conquered other small countries by force, and incorporated them into the territory of the Rhine Kingdom.
At that time, it was called Ancient Rhine.
However, everything that goes up must come down. It seems that the appearance of the ancient Rhine Emperor exhausted the fortune of the Rhine royal family for a thousand years. After the death of the ancient Rhine Emperor, none of his descendants could match his talent and character, and were not qualified to rule the country. There were even several generations of incompetent emperors who, under their ignorant rule, continued to squander national strength, causing the prestige of the Rhine royal family to continue to decline, and the glory of the Rhine country was no longer what it used to be.
The small countries that had once been conquered by force also began to have their own ideas, and some even planned to resist the rule of the Rhine royal family.
Just when the Rhine royal family could no longer support the operation of this huge empire, the four major families of the Rhine Kingdom stepped onto the stage of history, turned the tide, united together, and saved the collapsing empire.
The Schubert family is one of the four major families in the Rhine Kingdom.
Since then, most of the substantive rights of the Rhine royal family have been divided up among the four major families of the Rhine Kingdom, and the Rhine royal family has existed more as a spiritual leader.
For example, the Schubert family completely controlled the Rhine Cabinet.
Most of the cabinet members were fostered and trained by the Schubert family, and they are loyal to the Schubert family.
It was the Schubert family's decision to let Leiter Schubert slay the dragon, and those at the core of the cabinet knew about it.
This includes Schubert's Never Returning from Slaying the Dragon.
The human race’s sword master now has a special status.
"Since six years have passed and there is still no news, that means that Light has died in the Dragon Kingdom, right?"
"It should be."
“…What a pity.”
The speaker sighed.
Wright was adopted by Schubert from an orphanage, and this was also a crucial secret of the Schubert family.
He showed amazing talent when he was young and had a great chance of becoming a holy swordsman.
So the Schubert family took him out of the orphanage and announced to the public that he was the future heir of the Schubert family.
The Schubert family also spent a lot of resources to train him.
Wright did not waste his talent and really became the Holy Sword Master, which further enhanced the Schubert family's prestige in the Rhine Kingdom.
The most important thing is that the Schubert family has a holy sword user who can overwhelm the other four families invisibly.
If he were to become the heir and a puppet family of the Schubert family, then the Schubert family would surely reach the pinnacle of power in the Rhine Country.
Unfortunately, an accident happened.
The original heir of the Schubert family has awakened.
This is one of them.
Second, after all, it’s because of bloodline.
No matter how outstanding Wright was, the Schubert family still had some reservations in their hearts. He was born as an orphan of low status, and to the Schubert family, he had lowly blood. After all, he was just an outsider.
Pure bloodline is the bond between families.
The foreign races have gained such a powerful force, if they have any ulterior motives...
This made the Schubert family feel a little scared.
There was no choice before, but after the Schubert family's original heir woke up, there is now a choice.
So the Schubert family ordered Light to attack the Silver Dragon Queen.
Although it's a pity to lose a holy sword user that I trained with great effort, it doesn't matter, I can just train another one.
After all, the holy sword can be recovered. After the holy sword is recovered, we can just look for someone qualified to be the holy sword user in the country.
Wright is not irreplaceable.
His mission has been completed, so he just needs to burn himself as fuel to push this ancient family forward.
"Begin and guide the return of the Holy Sword."
Today, it is actually a recall ceremony.
The holy sword only recognizes human souls and will only belong to the human race.
If the wielder of the holy sword dies, the power of the holy sword attached to the weapon will disappear and it will become just an ordinary weapon.
The holy sword will then return to the human world, waiting for the chosen person to awaken it.
At that time, a new Holy Sword Master will be born.
In the center of the round table, there floated an iron sword, an ordinary weapon, held up by a blue beam of light.
The core members of the Rhine Cabinet stood up one after another with serious expressions.
Then the magician began to chant a spell, guiding the holy sword back to the human world.
However, under the gaze of everyone, after a long time, the iron sword that carried the power of the holy sword did not change at all, just like the calm surface of a lake.
"What's wrong? Why haven't you called back the Holy Sword yet? The former Holy Messenger Light is dead, so the Holy Sword should be ownerless."
"no no……"
The magician who presided over the ceremony showed a look of shock and muttered in disbelief.
"what happens?"
"The holy sword is resisting returning."
----------
Let me tell you one thing
I want to level up. When I reach S level, I can apply for rear projection illustrations. Then everyone can see Xia Yi and Xia Lulu, two white-haired dragon lolita.
But this book is quite different from the S-level one, so you may not be able to get it.
Although the data of this book seems to be very good, in fact, the performance is not rational, and the subscription ratio is very low. Most people read it before it was put on the shelves, but when it was put on the shelves for a fee, most people left and did not subscribe, resulting in a very poor subscription ratio for this book...
I want everyone to help me here. I plan to try my best.
Normally, I update 2k words every day.
On this basis, starting from this month, 100 monthly tickets will add one more chapter, and 1 fire coupons will add one more chapter.
115 Old friend, please say something! (4k)
The magician suspected that he was dreaming.
"The holy sword is resisting returning."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
This was obviously an unexpected situation.
The ritual to guide the return of the holy sword must not allow any mistakes.
The holy sword is of vital importance to the human race and must be firmly grasped in the hands of humans.
Most humans do not know the gap between humans and those extremely powerful superior species.
Humans only know that the alien races in this world are very strong, but they believe that these alien races are not invincible.
Especially after the human swordsman Light returned from the Dragon Kingdom, mankind's confidence was further strengthened.
But in the final analysis, the current "Human Sword Master" is just a false hero created by the Rhine Cabinet.
Not a true dragon slayer.
But as long as there is the Holy Sword, the Rhine Cabinet can continue to create heroes.
As long as the holy sword is guided back to the human world, qualified people are selected for training, and a new holy sword user is born, the current "human sword master" can be retired and a seamless transition can be made. New heroes can continue to be raised as idols of mankind, which will stabilize the human race.
If this plan is implemented smoothly, the false hero will not only create a lot of value for the Rhine Cabinet, but also be able to suppress other forces in the Rhine. Moreover, as a human hero, the Sword Saint standing in the Rhine is equivalent to gaining the support of public opinion, and can also legitimately carry out various actions.
When there is a risk of being exposed, an artificial "inheritance" ceremony is held to allow a new, safe and easy-to-use puppet to take over and become the new hero of the human race.
For the Schubert family, this was a lucrative deal.
But no one expected that there would be a problem when the Holy Sword returned.
"This is no joke!! We have been preparing for the ceremony of the return of the Holy Sword for five years! If we fail, we will have to wait another five years for the next ceremony of the return of the Holy Sword!"
The core members of the Rhine Cabinet all had impatience and anger in their voices.
"You can't afford the consequences."
The magician's face turned pale. "No, sir, it's really not my fault! There were no mistakes during the ceremony, and everything went according to plan!"
"If everything went according to plan, this weapon should have carried the power of the Holy Sword and become a new Holy Sword instead of a piece of scrap metal!!"
"My Lord, I am serious. I can swear that there has been no problem since the induction ceremony. However, no matter how I call on the Holy Sword, it is resisting returning. This is the will of the Holy Sword!"
The magician knelt on the ground and tried his best to explain.
He is afraid.
The core members of the Rhine Cabinet’s top leadership not only frowned.
In fact, they themselves knew clearly that the magician's life was in the hands of the Rhine Cabinet. He was like an obedient dog and dared not act rashly. If he succeeded in this matter, he would have a bright future, both in terms of money; but on the contrary, if he messed up, there would be no benefit at all and he would even lose his life. There was no need to do something that would do no good at all.
