Chapter 1824 – Knife Grave
Knife Grave
“Queen didn’t tell you before you came?” Black Steel frowned .
Han Sen shook his head . “Queen didn’t tell me anything . She just told me to come here, and that was that . ”
Black Steel quietly said, “Queen is indeed different She has her own plans, though, I assume . If she didn’t tell you . ”
After a pause, Black Steel went on to say, “These volcanos are the graves of the knives . A lot of knives are buried here, and the knives come out when the tunnel is opened . They await a new master . We are here to select new weapons for ourselves . We are also being picked by the weaponry . There won’t be good quality knives at the beginning, mind you . Later on, there will be a higher chance of finding good knives . But even so, they are rare . You need to get them, but also earn their approval . For that, you will require power and luck . ”
“Where did these weapons come from, then?” Han Sen asked, with shock .
“I do not know, but this portal opens once a year . Where the knives actually come from, I’ve never been told . If they are not chosen, they will return to their graves . They await the next host of participants in a year’s time, with the hope they might be chosen,” Black Steel said .
“Does that mean the weapons we take belong to us?” Han Sen thought to himself . He wanted to collect a few, so he could give them to his family . It would be best to give them to his son, his grandson, and great-grandson, in case he could never return .
“Our race has a rule: only one knife can be taken by each person . ” Black Steel looked at Han Sen coldly, as if he knew what Han Sen was thinking .
“Oh, really?” Han Sen looked disappointed, but then he asked, “Towards the end, what might their level be? Are any of them deified knives?”
Black Steel’s mouth twitched . He knew Han Sen was a greedy person, who was not even concerned with hiding that fact .
He had no clue why Queen might accept a student such as this .
“I don’t know . The knife rain will fall once an hour, however . After the seventh rain comes, Viscount class blades will become available . It’ll be hard to dodge those knives . Across the years, no one has lasted longer than ten rounds . The best knives that have ever been found were Duke knives . ” Black Steel answered Han Sen’s question .
“Duke class? That’s not bad . ” Han Sen nodded .
Black Steel felt as if he had been talking far too much to Han Sen . Strangely, he was also in a brighter mood . He couldn’t help but ask Han Sen, “Did you bring any high-tier armor and weapons with you to this place?”
“No . Queen said I did not have to . ” Han Sen looked at Black Steel, and it seemed as if he had not brought anything, either .
Black Steel said, “Do you think a Baron can block a Viscount knife rain? The knife rain is not like this, and it could last up to ten minutes . When they fall down, they will come with the full strength of a Viscount’s attack . Without high-tier armor and weapons, how well do you think you will fare in the blocking?”
Han Sen looked at Black Steel without speaking . If the high-tier armor and weapons worked, Yisha would have let him bring them . But Black Steel hadn’t brought his either, so there must have been a reason for that .
Black Steel continued by saying, “It is actually pointless to bring them . Bringing those items will only help you last a bit longer . But if you bring other items to help you, the knives you wish for will not choose to follow you . They would sooner break themselves than allow themselves to be used by the likes of you . You have to use your own, raw power to obtain the weapon of your choice . It’s all down to you, and a modicum of luck . ”
“During the seventh rain, maybe I can find an Earl weapon . After that, there might be Marquis and Duke . But they are extremely rare, and that really will depend on your luck . ”
After Black Steel said this, he ignored Han Sen . He took off in the direction of a volcano .
“Where are you going? Han Sen followed him .
Black Steel seemed okay with this . Han Sen thought following a guy who knew the way might be better than venturing out on his own . This way, he could definitely learn more .
“Let’s go to the Knife Grave . There might be knives of a higher-tier there,” Black Steel said as he walked .
Seeing Han Sen follow him, he stopped and asked, “Why aren’t you looking for them by yourself? Why are you following me?”
“It’ll take a while for things to reach the seventh round of knife rain . If I come with you, I can learn stuff from you . I will go find them by myself once we reach the seventh rain . ” Han Sen laughed .
Black Steel hummed and said, “I’m afraid you might not even last seven rounds . ”
He might have said this, but there was no sign that Black Steel actually wanted to remove Han Sen from his presence . He was headed towards the volcano . He was headed to Knife Grave .
They walked side by side, and when they reached the volcano, Black Steel threw a knife at Han Sen . “You are lucky . This is a Baron knife for you . It is quite rare to find on the first round . With this, you should be able to last a few rounds extra . ”
“Thanks . ” Han Sen swung his knife . The knife was smooth to wield .
Black Steel ignored him and kept walking to the volcano . When he was half-way, he found another Baron knife .
“It looks like you have an interest in knives,” Han Sen said with curiosity . The knife did not have the word Baron written down on it So, amidst all the knives that were there, he couldn’t distinguish one from the other . Black Steel seemed to be able to tell with just a glance . That meant he was probably pretty good .
Black Steel answered, “I have practiced knife skills since I was young, and our family produces knives, anyway . So, I can determine the quality with ease . ”
“Good,” Han Sen thought . He then said, “If you are that good, why don’t we co-operate? You select a knife for me . ”
Han Sen thought there were too many weapons, as they were everywhere . Finding a good quality one would be like searching for a needle in a haystack .
With a professional, things would go much better .
Black Steel rolled his eyes and said, “I help you pick and you do what?”
“I will block some of the knife rain for you,” Han Sen said .
Black Steel lifted his lips and ignored him . He sat down on a rock and placed the knife on his leg . He closed his eyes and waited for the next round to begin .
