"Really?!" Brand asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true." Otarais gave him a side glance.
"What can I learn then?" Brand couldn't help but ask imdiately. The Saint War Era was perhaps the closest connection between Vorn and the ancient tis over the past millennia. After that, many ancient swordsmanship and combat skills passed down on the earth were gradually lost. Advanced skills disappeared completely, and even interdiate skills beca rare treasures. A thousand years ago, even soldiers in second-tier legions like the Secret Forest Guard among the Wind Elves were trained in interdiate skills.
It was an era of great strength. In the ga, such an era would occur more than a hundred years later, when the tides of the Magic Moon reached their peak, and ancient skills were rediscovered from stone tablets buried underground, only then could they return to this world. However, at present, Vorn is still a barren land, where even swordsmanship like White Crow Swordsmanship, inherited imperfectly from the Wind Elves, can be called a secret of the Royal Family.
Otarais before him had lived through that era as a Heroic Spirit. As a Guard Knight of the Wind Queen and the owner of this ring, Brand could not imagine the kind of inheritance she possessed. But one thing was certain: this older sister, whose swordsmanship had undergone a thousand years of sedintation, was certainly a treasure trove for him, a shining super treasure trove.
"In the path of swordsmanship, if you cannot achieve true unity of mind, it is difficult to reach a high level of attainnt." Otarais looked at him seriously and answered solemnly, "So while I know many things, I only intend to teach you one skill."
"Wind Queen Nine Luminaries."
"What?" Brand almost thought he misheard.
"Wind Queen Nine Luminaries." Otarais repeated it.
As if struck by lightning, Brand froze in place, looking at Otarais in shock. Legend has it that the inheritance of the Wind Elves divided into three parts after the Saint War. King Quinnael of Sumr inherited the Sun Sword, and together with his Sunshine Knights, plotted for the position of Elf King. To this day, the descendants of the knights remain mainstream nobles within the Wind Elf Empire; while the Guard Knights of Saint Ausor, the Star Song Knights, mastered the Star Song Sword. But this line of inheritance had long perished in history. When the last Guard Knight passed away more than four hundred years ago, the Star Song Sword was completely buried in the river of history.
Yet apart from stars and sun, the so-called strongest path, inherited from Wind Queen Saint Ossor herself, known as Moon's Inheritance, seed forgotten by people. Even her own clan vanished after the war, as if a past story sealed under dust and cobwebs, never ntioned again after that.
But—
Otarais clearly enunciated at this mont, uttering "Wind Queen Nine Luminaries," which is indeed part of Moon's Inheritance from Wind Queen Saint Ossor, known as the strongest sword, one of the three great sword techniques in the Saint War Era, the Nine-Headed Snake Sword, and also the origin of Saint Ossor's emblem—the Wind Queen's Holy Mark.
Brand was thunderstruck inside and out; he initially thought that as a Guard Knight of the Wind Queen, Otarais would be the progeny of the Star Song Sword. Yet unexpectedly, she directly brought out Moon's Inheritance, Wind Queen Nine Luminaries. Striking with Nine Swords in one attack, when one person attacks, it's like nine people fighting side by side. If Flash Sword has a unique speed, then Wind Queen Nine Luminaries is the ultimate among area attack swords, or to put it in simpler terms—pinnacle AOE swordsmanship.
Moreover, concerning this swordsmanship, regardless of whether it is an interdiate or advanced skill, it is one of the three great sword techniques alongside Fla King Gilte's Flash Sword and Saint Elranta's Mountain and River Earth's Song. In terms of reputation and practical utility, calling it genuinely an extraordinary skill is totally reasonable.
"Can I… learn it?"
"Naturally."
"Now?" Brand was a bit incoherent after being struck by the huge pie.
"If you have ti now, I can certainly stop and teach you slowly," Otarais looked around: "But I'd suggest you deal with the matters here first; after all, swordsmanship is not learned overnight."
With Otarais's reminder, Brand ca to his senses. Indeed, swordsmanship can be learned at any ti, but there are more urgent matters at hand. The Druids are still struggling, and he must rush to find the Original Spark left in the Trade Wind Ring. Moreover, before that, he has to deal with the remaining laws of the Book of Mavikart, otherwise, he cannot travel with such an unstable energy.
