Chapter 366 - The Legendary Divine Weapon of Country R (2/2)
The Emperor shook his head and said, “I don’t know if there’s such a thing. After all, it existed only in legends. It’s rumored that it has terrible power. It can guard the land and destroy it easily. But I think that the legendary weapon is not necessarily credible. But if the spear did exists, even if it has no terrible power, it will be unusual and incredible.”
Xiao Bing asked, “Did you find the whereabouts of this spear?”
The Emperor’s eyes were full of admiration. He did not expect Xiao Bing to guess it just by those few words he mentioned. It was no wonder that Nami regarded him with such respect.
The Emperor said, “It’s called the Spear of Heaven, and also known as the Ameinonu Spear.”
“Feng XIII told the Great Patriarch Iza he heard that an artifact was unearthed. Many top masters of Country R have gone there hoping to obtain it. Moreover, Feng XIII had just received news that, from various indications, it was very likely to be the Ameinonu Spear.”
Xiao Bing said in surprise, “Never thought such an artifact existed… However, since no one has got it yet, how could Feng XIII know it was the Ameinonu Spear?”
“He figured it out based on the celestial phenomena. The Ameinonu Spear has a groundbreaking power. It can stir up chaos and clear the world. It’s said that the local weather showed signs of abnormality. The haze was blown away, and the red sun was high in the sky… Although it’s a conjecture, the Great Patriarch, as the contemporary heir of the Iza Family, was excited when hearing this news because the Spear of Heaven is the most powerful legendary artifact of the Iza Family. True or not, he needed to go and see for himself.”
Xiao Bing nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Whatever he’d heard, Xiao Bing had a feeling that it was not what Feng XIII said. There must be a deception. If it were some other matter, Iza Kawatani would not have gone there just like that. He himself was doubtful, but Iza Kawatani, who’d lived to be 100 years old, would’ve been more likely to see flaws in it. However, the Spear of Heaven was the first artifact in the history of Country R, and it was also the object in the hand of the founder of the Iza Family. Being in the bloodline of the Iza Family, it was reasonable that Iza Kawatani was excited.
Iza Kawatani would go and see it, even if there was only a small chance. He was already 100 years old, so it was beyond his control to break through to the immortality of the undead. But if he had a chance to see and get the Spear of Heaven in this lifetime and taking back the legendary artifact to the Iza Family, it would be more critical than achieving immortality.
The Emperor said emotionally, “I expect it’s true that an artifact has been unearthed. If the Spear of Heaven exists and returns to the Iza Family, it will be a great event. It can be used for the benefit of the people. I believe that with the artifact, the national strength of Country R and the deterrence of our royal family will become stronger.”
Xiao Bing said quickly, “I’ll pray for Your Majesty and the Great Patriarch.”
“Well.” The Emperor smiled, “See how late it is. I’m so excited that I can’t sleep. However, I can’t hold you. Go back and go to bed. Nami, you know what’s going on, so don’t worry about your grandfather.”
“Okay.” Nami smiled happily, “Grandfather, Your Majesty. You should also sleep early. I won’t bother you now.”
“Okay, go on then.”
Xiao Bing got up and left the room with Nami. When they went out, Xiao Bing could make out an imperceptible haze in the Emperor’s eyes.
When Xiao Bing went back to his room, he stayed in bed and began to think about it. Xiao Bing did not believe in any artifacts. He felt that someone was deliberately mystifying matters and spreading the rumor. He even believed that the mastermind was likely to be Feng XIII, but he didn’t know what his purpose was.
But he saw a shadow in the emperor’s eyes just as he was leaving. The Emperor of Country R was not at ease about the Iza Family. Although the Iza Family was loyal and devoted, and Iza Kawatani was loyal to two Emperors, the Iza Family radiated brilliant light. The reason why the citizens and spiritual leaders of Country R were loyal to the Emperor was that the emperor’s ancestor was the Amaterasu in legend. However, it was created by Iza Nagi. From this point of view, if they were not understanding and reasonable, the royal family would bear a grudge towards the Iza Family.
This was just one of them.
Secondly, nobody could change the fact that the emperor was the spiritual leader of Country R. Although it had a higher status in terms of the gods, the Iza Family always followed the royal family quietly. It was so that the Iza Family would not be a threat to the royal family. And the royal family could tolerate the Iza Family.
Iza Kawatani was already at the pinnacle of martial arts in Country R. He was called the Martial God and lived in the Hall of Martial Gods. Moreover, he was the leader of the elder group of the royal family. If Iza Kawatani could get the Spear of Heaven, which was a horrifying legendary artifact, even if Iza Kawatani was loyal, could the Emperor, who stood high above the masses, rest assured?
Looks like it would be better if the artifact didn’t exist. If it did exist and Iza Kawatani obtained it, an irreparable gulf between him and the royal family would be created.
