424 The road ahead
Fang Muye sighed a little and said, "It's really interesting that the sword in the stone was cut off like this. Sure enough, the power of arrogance often brings self-destruction."
Lu Renyi continued to preach: "When King Berlino learned that his opponent was King Arthur, who was afraid of defeat, he waited for an opportunity to take revenge afterwards. He was afraid that he would kill King Arthur on the spot to eliminate future troubles. Fortunately, Arthur escaped with the help of the magician Merlin. The sword was particularly important to the knights. King Arthur was guided by the magician Merlin to a lake. The elves in the lake held a sword in his hand and raised it out of the water to give it to King Arthur. This sword was made by the elves in Avalon. The thighs were cast from gold and the hilts were inlaid with gems on the hilt. Because its sharp blade was cut like mud, the blade would emit light several times more dazzling than the sun. In ancient words, the name of this sword had the meaning of breaking steel. This sword was the sword in the lake, excalbur, also known as the "Sword of Vow to Victory."
The story is basically over here. Fang Muye has already learned about this version of the story, but he suddenly remembered something again, so he asked: "If I remember correctly, the sword scabbard seems to be an extremely important treasure."
Lu Renyi nodded and said, "Yes, the Sword of Victory has the attribute of cutting off all steel and wood, and is an invincible holy sword. It is also a sword sheath that can protect the sword wearer. In the eyes of the magician Merlin, the value of the sword sheath is better than that of the sword. Merlin once warned King Arthur that although the sword of the King is powerful, its scabbard is more precious than its sword. The scabbard who wears the sword of the King will never bleed and must not lose it."
"Then King Arthur lost the sword sheath in the end, right?" Fang Muye asked with a smile.
Lu Renyi sighed and said, "You guessed it right. Later, because King Arthur lost his scabbard, he was seriously injured and died in the battle by Mordred, who was illegitimate son and nephew. Then King Arthur entrusted the last knight Bedville to throw the sword into the lake and return to the elves' kingdom with the dead King Arthur."
Lu Renyi continued: "The story of King Arthur has completely ended here. Some people regard the sword in the stone as a broken steel sword. This is incorrect. The original name of the sword in the stone is caliburn, known as the "Sword of the King of Choice". It was the sword that King Arthur first pulled out of the stone, which was broken in the battle between King Arthur and King Berlino. The sword of vows to victory, excalibur, was obtained by King Arthur from the hands of the elves in the lake under the guidance of the magician Merlin."
Fang Muye said: "After you said this, I am becoming more and more interested in this myth and legend. Although most stories are indeed fictional, even if one out of ten is true, it is worth pursuing the source of this story."
Lu Renyi smiled and said, "Haha, I was going to discuss the future of the organization with Mr. Fang, but I didn't expect to talk to you about the ruins left by suspected practitioners. But as long as you are interested, it's better to have a better chat later."
Fang Muye continued: "Even if I don't talk about this, I am very interested in the matter about the Blue Star Three-Body Organization. But now that I have mentioned this sword, I still have a request."
Lu Renyi promised: "Mr. Fang, please tell me that you will have all your strength within your ability, but I guess, is this matter related to the Sword of Victory?"
Fang Muye nodded and said, "It is true. I want to meet the Bishop who holds this sword."
When Lu Renyi heard such a simple question, he breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "This is easy to say, but Mr. Bishop will probably come back later today. If Mr. Fang wants to see Mr. Bishop today, he may have to wait until nightfall."
Fang Muye waved his hand and said, "It's okay to be at night. We also have time to talk in detail about the Blue Star Three-Body Organization. Actually, I'm curious about what kind of attitude you have towards the cultivator. After all, you are a cultivator. Although you showed great hostility to the cultivator in your speech on the day of the party, I can feel that it was not your true intention. If you were really the attitude in the speech that day, we would only be enemies now, not to mention that my original purpose was to capture you back to China."
Lu Renyi smiled and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Fang, do you still want to capture me back to China? As for my attitude towards practitioners, I did say it seriously at the party that day, but there is nothing I can do about it. Most of them are just simple scientists, and I also like science. Although I do not exclude my own identity as a practitioner, the emergence of practitioners has led to chaos in the scientific community and the development of science and technology has stagnated. This is an indisputable fact."
Fang Muye did feel that Lu Renyi in front of him was not like a person who would do something like cultivating living people into zombies. With such a strong mental power, as long as someone stands beside him, Fang Muye can be like observing ants with a microscope. Any series of emotional fluctuations will be magnified thousands of times in Fang Muye's perception. Fang Muye even feels that the legendary two-heart communication may be similar to this ability.
Now, in his perception, he did not find anything unusual about Lu Renyi, so Fang Muye was not aggressive at the party at that time because there was something strange about this matter. Of course, what is the real result can only be known through illusion.
Fang Muye thought for a while and said, "This problem is indeed inconvenient to solve in a short period of time. Today's great powers have long supplied the most important resources to practitioners, but the stagnation of science will definitely not last for too long. Blue Star will eventually embark on the path of synchronous development of the human body and science."
Lu Renyi suddenly turned serious and said seriously: "Mr. Fang, everything you said just now is based on the peaceful development of countries around the world, but the current situation is that a new world war is almost about to break out. If this is true, science may never have a chance to make a comeback."
Fang Muye also became serious and said, "It is still unknown whether a new world war will happen, but now if you do this, you will undoubtedly first provoke a conflict between cultivators and ordinary people. This is not a wise choice."
Lu Renyi said excitedly: "But I have to do this. The development of science has stagnated for nearly two years, and the Three-Body Fleet has begun to set out towards the solar system. Although I am willing to believe that the Three-Body World will be our friend, this is not something that can be decided by my wishful thinking. Blue Star must develop its own technological power no matter what."
