GOR Chapter 256 Part 2: S Class?
“From the looks of it, you won.”
Ambler gave a gentle smile and said, “Then, where is the sword?”
Chen Xiaolian was silent for a moment. Then, he retrieved a sword from the system and placed it on the table.
It was none other than the Sword in the Stone, the Sword that chooses the King!
“You brought it back?” Ambler gave a faint smile.
“Of course. How could I leave an item as good as this to King William?”
Chen Xiaolian laughed and said, “Originally, after killing Harold, he had wanted to make it his own. However, there were too many people around, so he could not force the issue. He requested its ownership from me and even said that he would make me a Count. I simply refused, took the sword and ran for it.”
There was a peculiar expression on Ambler’s face as he looked at the Sword in the Stone placed upon the table. He said, “… … do you know that you did something amiss?”
“… eh?”
“You violated the storyline.” Ambler shook his head.
“Storyline?!”
…
“This Sword in the Stone is a prop in the system. It is similar to all the weapons and equipment that appeared in the system dungeons. However, it is of a higher class and certainly much rarer. Most importantly, it is a special equipment.
“In the hands of an ordinary Player or Awakened, it would be unable to do anything.
“In order to activate the Sword in the Stone, first, complete all the instance dungeons in London to acquire the sword.
“Next, enter the story of the War for the Throne and hand the Sword in the Stone to King William – because in the system’s settings, King Arthur was modelled after King William.
“When given the King’s courage, it will gain 30 % activation.
“When given the King’s blood, it will gain another 30 % in activation.
“When given the enemy King’s blood, it will gain another 30 % in activation.
“Here, the sword would be 90 % activated and three complementary skills would be acquired.
“However, according to the storyline, King William will keep the Sword in the Stone while… the game participants receive other rewards.
“The Sword in the Stone is simply a storyline prop. Generally speaking, it would never fall into the hands of the game participants.”
“Wait!”
Chen Xiaolian suddenly shouted out, “But if so, how did I manage to get the Sword in the Stone so easily? I simply turned down King William’s request and took the sword with me! This, that… that was too easy!
“If it is as you said, that this item would generally not fall into the hands of game participants… didn’t this fall into my hands too easily?”
Chen Xiaolian carefully recalled the matter and said, “Back then… he had decapitated Harold and won the cheers from the army… then… he requested the Sword in the Stone from me. He said that this sword was very sharp and had helped him kill off his enemy. Thus, he wished to have the sword. However, a King had no right to deprive an aristocrat of his property – since he knighted me, that makes me an aristocrat.
“He can only request it from me and not snatch it away.
“After I refused his request, he was somewhat unhappy and disappointed. However, he was unable to do anything about it.
“I… took the opportunity to take the sword and leave the army. At any rate, the situation there was so chaotic; no one cared about me leaving at all.
“After that… the system notified me that the instance dungeon had ended and we were teleported out.
“Mm, that was how it went – it was very simple.”
Ambler listened quietly. Then, he suddenly looked directly into Chen Xiaolian’s eyes and said, “You would think that it’s simple… because…
“You! You are not an ordinary game participant!”
Those words caused Chen Xiaolian’s body to shudder!
…
“In the normal storyline, after all the game participants on King William’s side helped him win the war, they were unable to take the Sword in the Stone away!
“Normally, after King William used the Sword in the Stone to kill Harold, he would request the participant for the Sword in the Stone.
“At that point in the instance dungeon, some greedy game participants would be unwilling to hand over the Sword in the Stone – that is only natural.
“However, a notification of restriction will appear at this point in time.”
“Restriction? What restriction?”
“Normal game participants, be it Players or Awakened ones, would not be able to pick up the Sword in the Stone!
“In other words, even if King William were to place the Sword in the Stone before them, they would be unable to pick it up!
“Then, the system will prompt the game participant: Special equipment has been given to the storyline character and cannot be taken back.”
Chen Xiaolian was shocked!
“That… that was how it’s supposed to go?”
“Yes.” A peculiar look appeared within Ambler’s expression and he said, “Normally, that is how things would develop. That is the law of the system.”
“But I…”
Chen Xiaolian recalled what happened back then.
Back then, when he had taken back the Sword in the Stone from King William, he did not feel any difficulty in taking it back. He simply took it with his hand.
There was also no prompt from the system!
“As I have said, it is only possible because it’s you.
“Because… you are not an ordinary Awakened!
