Chapter 654: Chapter 305 Sun Holy Sword_3

After walking for quite a while, they unexpectedly arrived at a secluded courtyard. The place where the legendary Sun Holy Sword was inserted appeared quiet and simple, without the grandiosity Leon had imagined.

Apart from two routine palace guards, there were not many guards around.

“Look, there it is.” Ines nodded her chin to indicate.

Raising his gaze, he saw a beautifully poised, magnificent cross long sword, reflecting brilliant golden light under the sun.

It was unclear if it was pure gold, gold-plated, or made of gold, but the elegant sword guard shimmered with a flowing glow.

Besides the faintly visible demon runes on the surface, there were no gemstones or unnecessary decorations; the silver-white narrow diamond-shaped blade was inserted into an unremarkable ancient stone base.

Leon not only felt a spark in his mind but also sensed the magic ripples emanating from the object before him.

The moment he laid eyes on the heirloom of Olivia’s house, he knew it was no ordinary thing.

Leon had no thought of trying to steal it; he was just filled with intense curiosity due to his sudden idea…

If he were to engrave the summoning ritual of the Netti Card around and beneath that stone base.

Could he possibly summon the legendary Dusk Knight Gervin, who slew the Demon Dragon over a thousand years ago and founded the Drakemar Family’s bloodline and royal achievements?

“Want to give it a try? Maybe a rare hero like you can pull out my ancestor’s divine weapon.” Ines joked while twirling her fan.

Leon was a bit surprised, “An outsider who is not a member of the royal family, can also go up and touch that Holy Sword?”

“According to the ancient court records, indeed, around seven or eight hundred years ago, outsiders were allowed to touch the Sun Holy Sword. However, perhaps because over generations it was discovered that no descendant of the Drakemar family could pull it out, such rules no longer exist.”

Ines shrugged with her fan’s handle in hand, continuing, “I’ve heard that both Lord Kellan and Lord Marcus have tried to pull out the sword in the past. Unfortunately, even a Great Knight who could sweep through armies couldn’t budge it a bit.”

Leon realized, is trying to pull out the Sun Holy Sword a mandatory stop on the palace tour?

He curiously asked, “Your Highness, what if I… or someone actually pulls it out, what would happen?”

“…If it’s pulled out…. Hmm~….” Ines pressed the fan against her chin, thought for a moment, and shook her head, “Not much would happen. Hypothetically… if you really pulled it out, my father would probably immediately have someone fetch the Sword Box for you to place it in, to conveniently store the Ancestor’s Sword deep in the treasury.”

“Ah… is that it?” Leon chuckled helplessly.

Did the Dusk Knight Gervin not leave behind a prophecy akin to pulling out the Stone Sword and becoming king on the spot?

How dull… Leon felt slightly disappointed as he stepped forward.

The two Holy Sword Guards did not stop him.

Not only because he was personally brought by the princess, but simply talking about the Sun Holy Sword’s own “security,” there was no need to stop him either.

Looking at this magnificent and mighty ancient Holy Sword, Leon grasped the hilt with both hands.

He applied a little force and pulled hard!

….

It didn’t move an inch.

Leon clicked his tongue, then furrowed his brows, concentrated, and exerted eighty to ninety percent of his strength.

A crackling sound was heard!

The floor shattered and cracked under Leon’s tremendous strength.

The nearby guard glanced at the spreading cracks on the floor, unsurprised, thinking that he’d have to report to the steward again to have the craftsmen come and relay the tiles after a long time.

“Phew~” Leon exhaled, shaking his head.

It was truly solid, like it was welded.

Or rather, with his current brute strength, he could forcibly pull out rebar embedded in concrete piles in his previous life.

However, this Sun Holy Sword indeed lived up to its reputation. If it wouldn’t move, it just wouldn’t move.

Leon clapped his hands, regrettably giving up.

In these two years since he transmigrated, he had gone through so much and overcome many challenges, and now he had even won the beauty’s heart. He thought he might, in some sense, be the “main character.”

Honestly, when he first grasped the treasure sword, he really had the fanciful thought that he was special in some way and might actually pull it out and put on a grand show in front of Ines.

Yet, this stubborn treasure sword didn’t even give face to him, a transmigrator.

Leon sighed, feeling inexplicably like an average guy who just got coldly rejected.
