Holy Warrior Liu Bei

Chapter 33 The Twin Swords of Benevolence and Righteousness

"Liu Bei, look at your swords! They're changing!"

That dazzling light was naturally not overlooked.

Ansel immediately started yelling!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, after Liu Bei took his oath, the pair of swords in his hands emitted a spiritual light, possessing both the unpredictable power of magic and the sacredness of divine power.

The spiritual light on the sword began to spread from the white jade inlaid on the hilt, gradually engraving mysterious symbols on the sword blade.

"What kind of symbol is this? I've never seen it before. It looks like the one on your sword hilt! Is it a symbol from your hometown?"

Ansel has a very strong sense of perception, the kind that is inexplicable. His stats may not seem high, but his actual application is beyond reason. Before the dazzling light had even faded, he noticed the extra symbols on the sword.

"Juren".

"By righteousness."

The symbols that Ansel and others could not recognize were the script Liu Bei was most familiar with: Small Seal Script.

"Benevolence is what makes a person's home peaceful."

"Righteousness is the right path for people."

"These four words are a reminder to me to have a kind heart and practice the right path."

Ansel glanced at Will, who shook his head.

He glanced at Karak again, then looked away before she could react.

One was a wealthy young master from the upper district, and the other was a simple-minded girl from the lower district. He knew who to ask.

When Ansel saw Will shake his head, he knew Will didn't recognize him either.

"Liu Bei, what changes have occurred to your sword? Tell us quickly!"

Even a fool could see that Liu Bei's twin swords were no ordinary objects. Since you don't understand what Liu Bei meant by benevolence and righteousness, you might as well not ask. You might as well ask about the changes that have occurred to his twin swords!

Upon receiving Ansel's guidance, Liu Bei immediately focused his attention, and then information about the two swords in his hands appeared before his eyes:

"Twin Swords (Male and Female) +2:"

"Descendant of the True Dragon: When an attack triggers a critical hit, it deals an additional 1d6 thunder damage."

"**Oath: When an ally within 30 feet is dying, you can use Reaction to move to your teammate's side without being attacked by nearby enemies, and take the opportunity to attack the enemy next to the dying ally; if the attack hits, the dying ally immediately recovers 1d6 + your Charisma modifier HP."

"Swift Wind Slash: When using an attack action, you can perform an additional single-sword attack."

These are the stats for the transformed Twin Swords. Liu Bei remembers clearly that the previous Twin Swords had a +1 number after it, and besides the True Dragon Descendant skill, there was a skill called "Dual Sword Balance".

The effect of the dual-sword balance is only to increase the advantage of the second sword after the first sword hits.

To put it simply, if the first sword strike hits the second sword strike, the critical hit effect will increase. In actual combat, this means that the probability of the second sword strike hitting the wound caused by the first sword strike is significantly increased.

After all, battles are ever-changing, and enemies are not easy targets. After being injured, they will strengthen their defenses against their wounds, so even the most advanced swordsmanship cannot hit the same point 100% of the time.

Of course, it's still possible if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great!

The effect of "dual swords balancing" is no longer visible; it has been replaced by this swift and continuous slash. Liu Bei needs to verify what this swift and continuous slash really means.

As for this "Oath of **", since the tomb keeper broke the shackles of destiny, he had not seen any unknown characters on destiny for a long time. He vaguely felt that these two unknown characters contained very important information, information that was closely related to him.

Is it some kind of divine will?

Liu Bei thought of the previously hidden divine will, and his thoughts drifted back to that time.

"Liu Bei, what are you daydreaming about!"

Ansel nudged Liu Bei, as only he could tell whether Liu Bei was using the Appraisal Technique or just spacing out!

"Tell me quickly, what changes have occurred to your sword!"

His gaze was intense!

Unable to resist Ansel's curiosity, Liu Bei immediately explained the transformations of the twin swords.

"My Mother Daenerys, this sword of yours is a weapon that evolves over time! It's even rarer than a legendary weapon! When did that old man Kane acquire this skill? If he had this skill, why would he be stuck in that tiny place, Dagger Beach, making farm tools?"

Ansel jumped up: "No way, I have to go home. That old man Kane owes me so much wine, I have to make him get me a growth-type weapon too!"

"Ansel, it's not that simple!" Liu Bei immediately stopped Ansel: "I'm afraid even Old Man Kane doesn't know how he did it! Before today, it was just an ordinary pair of swords."

"That's strange! Is the change due to your oath?" Ansel asked, puzzled.

"Is it those two gems inlaid on your sword hilt?"

Although Will only has one eye, his eyesight is still quite good.

Liu Bei stroked the jade on the hilt of the sword and said, "Perhaps, this is my last thought for the Han Dynasty! One of these two pieces of jade was passed down from my father, and the other was a gift from my teacher. I have carried them with me ever since I received them, and I have never lost them after coming to this world. At that time, Kane said that since these two swords were made to his own, he asked me to leave some unique marks on the hilts."

"After much thought, I set these two pieces of jade on it. As for the words on it, I carved them myself, just to constantly remind myself to be benevolent and righteous, and to practice the way of a gentleman even in Faerun."

"A gentleman?" The three of them couldn't even gather six eyes together, and they looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Liu Bei was saying.

Liu Bei opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly realized that if he were to use Confucian classics to argue his point, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night. After all, Fei Lun was not from the Han Dynasty, and the people there did not know what Confucian classics were. Moreover, Liu Bei himself was not someone who had studied the classics.

After thinking it over, he said frankly, "Just think of this gentleman as a holy warrior from our world."

"oh!"

The three of them echoed in unison.

"Alright, alright, it's late, go to sleep!"

Liu Bei dispersed the three men. He had already experienced enough today, and the mission was not yet accomplished. He still had to travel tomorrow, so he needed to rest well.

Camping outdoors is different from staying inside this expropriation office. Tonight, there's no need to arrange for someone to keep watch, and there's no need to worry about being attacked by jackals or wild beasts that roam at night.

As the crowd dispersed, soon after, the snoring of Karak and Ansel began to rise and fall.

Will couldn't fall asleep for a long time on the side of his sleeping bag near the cellar entrance.

"What are you still thinking about?"

"Are you thinking about the changes in your body? Or are you thinking about the pact you made with the devil?"

Seeing that Will was not asleep, Liu Bei came to Will's side and asked him softly.

"Yes, I have both." Will's voice was low, his inner self not as calm as his outward appearance suggested.

"If you can say it, then say it; it will make you feel much better!"

"I don't know where to begin. When you were telling the druids not to discriminate against the Tiflin, I agreed. But after becoming like this myself, I suddenly realized that deep down I also discriminate against those people. I'm not a monster, so I could nod. But now that I've become like this, I find it hard to accept my transformation."

Will looked pained; clearly, he wasn't accepting his transformation so quickly.

"What you do will not change because of your appearance. Is the difference between a devil and a man really just a difference in form? Between the paladin who was chasing Karak and Karak himself, who is the real human?" Liu Bei said.

"You are right. Just as I have never regretted making the pact with the devil, I need this power. This power allows me to wield my sword for Sword Coast, to fight for Baldur's Gate. No matter what I look like, one day I will make them see me for who I truly am: the Border Blade!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was relieved. His biggest worry was that Will would not be able to accept his transformation.

"You don't need to worry about him at all. This guy is incredibly tough; he's the most resilient and troublesome witcher I've ever met!"

Karak wasn't asleep either; he came to their side and sat quietly.

"Thank you for your compliment!"
