Amber Sword

The heavens want me dead! Ben couldn’t help but shout inwardly. But suddenly he remembered something and couldn’t help but cry out, "No, I remember now, there is such a swordsmanship!"

"Hmm?"

"Flash Sword of King of Flames Gilte! Isn’t it?"

"You’re crazy," the Wind Queen was startled, "You don’t mean to learn that guy’s swordsmanship, right? I must tell you, I don’t know that swordsmanship!"

"I know," Ben’s gaze fell on the templar of the Flame Temple, "It’s enough if someone knows." He couldn’t help but lower his head, "But is it okay? Can I learn the Flash Sword at the same time?"

"I’m not a stubborn old man," the Wind Queen sighed, "But I must warn you beforehand, apart from my Wind Queen Nine Luminaries, the Flash Sword of Gilte and the Mountain and Earth Resonance of Elrant are ancient swordsmanships, one inherited from the Dragon Clan, and the other from the Golden People Mountain Giant. No one has ever learned these three swordsmanships simultaneously."

"Don’t worry, I just want to learn a bit of it."

"Entry-level is the hardest part," but the Elf Sister suddenly remembered the scene when Ben was learning the Wind Queen Nine Luminaries, and suddenly stopped speaking: "You don’t mean to learn it now, do you?" She asked, somewhat incredulously.

"I want to use it now!"

Ben didn’t have time to explain; he slashed the Hellhound standing in front of him and pulled Antitina toward the templar of the Flame Temple, shouting, "Mr. Stephen!"

The templar who had joined their team hadn’t said much, but when Char joked about the Flame Temple earlier, he hadn’t reacted much. Overall, Ben had a pretty good impression of him. Besides, as a Cruz person, he was fighting for Erune at this moment. Although it was partly to make amends for the Flame Temple, it was enough to be admirable.

Moreover, Ben knew that unlike him, the templar was genuinely pursuing faith and ideals.

Therefore, his tone subconsciously became much more courteous—even if he didn’t have a good impression of the Cruz people.

The knight was also dealing with a Hellhound, turned around slightly, and looked at Ben. He didn’t have a bad impression of this young lord; at least, Knight Ben’s actions had already made him feel favorable. The key was that he hadn’t participated with Wood in attacking the Princess Faction with Williams; otherwise, being captured by Ben even once would definitely leave him with apprehension.

He couldn’t help but look curiously at the young man, didn’t speak, but his light blue eyes already expressed clearly enough:

What’s the matter?

"You see, we are trying to carve a path to the Teleportation Gate below, but now it looks very difficult. Mr. Gallock must be kept for sale last, so I need your help." Ben didn’t have time for courtesies, directly getting to the point.

The templar nodded, meaning—please speak.

At this time, more demons rushed forward, forcing Ben to retreat and fight alongside the templar. At the same time, he shouted loudly, trying to overshadow those damned Little Demons’ screams, "I remember every member who becomes an internal templar of the Flame Temple is granted the most basic Flash Sword swordsmanship, isn’t that right? The swordsmanship of King of Flames Gilte."

The templar hesitated for a moment, almost got injured. But he stepped back, alertly watching Ben.

"Don’t misunderstand, I hope you can teach me this swordsmanship."

Antitina, who had been tightly holding Ben’s hand beside him, also couldn’t help but make an ’ah’ sound when she heard these words. She certainly knew what the Flash Sword was, but for Ben to make such a request now, and to tell the other party not to misunderstand.

At that moment, even she couldn’t help but look oddly at Ben. If it wasn’t her lord, in front of outsiders, she would have been the first to ask clearly what this meant.

Yet the templar wasn’t surprised; he stabbed the heart of a Little Demon lunging at him with his sword. He then stepped back and, for the first time spoke in a somewhat bland voice, "It seems the lord knows the secret of the Flash Sword, but do you intend to use the Flash Sword to teleport to the Teleportation Gate?"

Ben nodded.

The knight was slightly stunned, looking at him as if he were a madman, "But lord, haven’t you considered that the Flash Sword is not so easily learned? Besides, there is no time to relearn a swordsmanship now, is there?"

Normally, that’s indeed the case.

Even Ben couldn’t help wanting to scratch his head; if he could, he definitely wouldn’t act like a Godman in front of normal people. But the problem now seemed out of his control, compared to this, being a Godman was definitely better than being a cold dead body.

"It’s okay...Mr. Stephen, this... you know, I’ve been quite outstanding in swordsmanship talent since I was young. Why don’t you tell me the key points of the Flash Sword, even if just to satisfy my last bit of curiosity." Ben couldn’t help but sigh.

Such words were simply bizarre, but the templar happened to believe them. He suddenly remembered Ben’s identity, the grandson of Sword Saint Darius—the name Sword Saint Darius wasn’t just famous in this small kingdom of Erune, it was well known, as he had been a marshal of the Flame Temple Alliance. He was admired even in the Cruz Kingdom, by Earth Sword Saint enthusiasts.

However, that was during the final honeymoon period between Cruz and Erune, after which relations cooled between the two countries, ultimately leading the Earth Sword Saint to mysteriously retire. For ordinary people, this was just a political shift between nations, but being part of the high temple hierarchy, he knew some insider information.

But since he’s the descendant of the Earth Sword Saint, having curiosity about the Flash Sword is understandable. Being a swordsman himself, he understood this sentiment well; to him, Ben’s request was indeed his final wish.

Besides, he completely didn’t believe Ben’s ghost talk about being outstanding in swordsmanship; maybe having a certain swordsmanship talent as the Earth Sword Saint’s descendant wasn’t strange. But to say to suddenly learn the Flash Sword, Stephen thought this joke was even more absurd than Ben outright claiming himself as the King of Flames.

"So you’ve agreed?" Ben saw the templar hesitating and quickly pursued the question.

In fact, Stephen didn’t understand that Ben didn’t even need him to explain any key points. Just saying, I agree to teach the Flash Sword to you, would be sufficient.

No choice, he also considered it to be a BUG.

Templar Stephen finally nodded.

"Alright."

At that moment, Ben heard a prompt as melodious as the sound of heaven.
