Chapter 28 Insatiable Greed
"How was I supposed to know your thing had this function, that it could transport you to a world like this! And even He didn't notice!" The Emperor said, clearly indignant. "If I had known it could transport me to a world of this strength, I would have run away long ago!"
"Is there a noticeable difference between you and Him?" Tie Hui leaned closer and asked, not wanting to miss the opportunity to stir things up.
"To give you an example you can understand..." The Emperor thought for a moment and then said, "In our world, it's just gang leaders fighting each other for territory, while this world has a complete system, similar to local government! Do you think the two are comparable?"
Tie Hui nodded, indicating he understood, but still asked, "Why don't Gandalf and the others seem very strong?"
The Emperor rose in surprise: "What makes you think it's weak? The future era belongs to humanity; all magical creatures will gradually disappear! So of course it won't seem strong! But if you were to return to the ancient era... even a demon prince would have to stand at attention here!"
Tie Hui nodded, agreeing with the logic. He immediately changed the subject, saying, "Alright then! I won't be greedy for the Ring! But that crystal ball, dragon bones, dragon hide, dragon blood, mithril, jewel fragments, Twin Tree Leaves..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" The emperor, speechless, raised his hand to interrupt him: "Are you reciting a menu?!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me think about The Lord of the Rings?" Tie Hui looked utterly aggrieved. "Then I have to find something else to make up for it, right? I can't have come all this way for nothing, can I?"
Looking at the guy's aggrieved expression, the Emperor couldn't help but say disdainfully, "You're always dreaming good things. Do you think people will just give you those things because they say so? Even if you want them, you have to get their permission, right? Otherwise, Iluvita could slap you to death!"
Upon hearing this, Tie Hui hesitated for a moment. Then, he cautiously asked, "If we can go back, what's there to be afraid of?"
The Emperor glanced at him: "Isn't that obvious? How much power could a mere clone have? Even with your strange ability to traverse worlds, could you possibly stop Ilúvatar's full-force attack?"
Upon hearing this, Tie Hui's face instantly fell: "Then I've come all this way for nothing?"
The Emperor shook his head indifferently upon hearing this: "It wasn't a wasted trip! Anyway, you're helping them complete the Ring-Building mission! If you build a good relationship with them, you might get something in return! Like that greatsword you have now!"
Tie Hui instantly remembered the greatsword Galadriel had given him, which was said to be a magical weapon made from Smaug's body, the arrow that killed him, and various precious materials.
But he always felt that it was an ordinary cold weapon!
"It doesn't seem that impressive!" Tie Hui muttered.
But the Emperor, upon hearing this, said disdainfully, "You're just ignorant! Everyone said that this weapon will only unleash its full power after magic is learned! You're only looking at it from the perspective of a melee weapon!"
"Uh..." Tie Hui said疑惑地, "Give me an example?"
The Emperor glanced at him with his weasel-like, beady eyes: "As long as your stamina and strength keep up, this sword can let you cut down a great demon! Whether you can kill it at this stage is another matter. But once you can combine it with my power later, there won't even be a chance for resurrection!"
"real?"
"Do you think I, an immortal being who has lived for 4 years, the emperor of a dignified human empire, would lie to you?" the emperor said righteously, his neck stiff.
Tie Hui instantly recalled some videos and jokes he had seen in his previous life, and looked at him with some suspicion, saying, "That's not necessarily true!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor instantly flew into a rage, shouting, "Get out! Get out! You ruin my good mood every single day! I finally get to come out!"
……
Tie Hui opened his eyes and looked at the blurry tent top, realizing that he had woken up.
Feeling weak all over, he slowly sat up, still feeling dizzy, and looked out at the sunlight streaming in.
He took a deep breath and instantly felt more energetic.
He wanted to get up and leave, but then he touched the heavy sword beside him!
He immediately looked down and saw the heavy sword lying there quietly.
But the light emanating from it exudes a chilling aura!
He gripped the hilt of the sword, picked it up, and walked out of the tent.
He looked at the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the tree canopy and felt a wave of warmth and comfort.
Then he picked up the heavy sword with both hands and began to swing it.
Which man doesn't dream of roaming the world with a sword?
Even someone like Tie Hui, who had experienced modern life and was influenced by advanced machines like Warhammer, still had a love for cold weapons.
Because being handsome is a lifelong thing!
A heavy sword has no edge; true skill lies in simplicity!
To wield such a heavy sword, you have to swing it around and use the momentum first.
After swinging the arms continuously for several tens of minutes, I was covered in sweat and my arms ached.
He looked at the heavy sword beside him, which was almost as tall as him.
He felt only satisfaction. When he swung it just now, the momentum carried him forward, and even though he only exerted a slight force, the power of the greatsword, under the influence of that momentum, directly cut through the air at the tip of the blade.
Moreover, the force of the swing was so great that it took him a lot of effort to stop it.
"Looks great!" Just then, a person walked over, clapping and praising.
Tie Hui turned his head and saw that the person who came was Aragorn.
Aragorn approached him, looked down at the greatsword that was almost as tall as Ironfleet, and said enviously, "You've really got a good weapon! But I have a question, the technique you were practicing just now was very strange! Where did you learn it?"
Tie Hui picked up the water bottle next to him and took a big gulp: "This is the swordsmanship of my hometown. Because of the weight of this kind of heavy sword, you need to swing it continuously and use its momentum to make continuous attacks! So when you swing it, it's like you're spinning!"
He wasn't actually lying; he learned this from short videos and movies in his previous life.
Using the weight and inertia of the greatsword to attack, once it's swung, the attack power at the tip of the greatsword will reach a terrifying level, capable of splitting bulls and slicing horses!
Aragorn nodded without asking any further questions.
Having spent years traversing the wilderness, he could naturally discern some patterns and techniques in the heavy sword wielding he had just witnessed.
"It seems the Queen values you highly!" Aragorn looked at the greatsword with envy, especially at the hair tie wrapped around its hilt.
Ironbeak thought Aragorn was referring to the greatsword: "Didn't Legolas say that everyone would receive a gift after we get here? It's just that my gift was given early! Perhaps some people's gifts will be delayed! Maybe your gift will even be your sword, Anduriel! Then, like your ancestors, you'll wield the king's sword and command your army to destroy all the forces of darkness!"
