Chapter 100 The first vassal (ninth update)
"Hiss—"
Pain Pain Pain!
Samwell took a deep breath, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart, and there was no pain anywhere.
And his original huge strength, which was far beyond ordinary people, disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Scared, Samwell quickly checked his attribute panel, and was relieved when he found that the above values were still there.
It seems to be just a loss of strength.
Rest for a while to recover.
But pulling a sword out of a stone can make yourself unstrung?
Samwell felt that this was really unbelievable.
Moreover, everything just now seemed extraordinarily magical. In a trance, he felt that what he was holding was not a sword, but a flame.
Samwell struggled to prop up his body, and looked at the giant sword [Dawn] lying quietly beside him.
At this time, it has returned to its appearance when it was first seen. The sword body is as pale as jade. Under the sunlight, it seems that there is something flowing in it.
As for the densely packed red-gold lines covering the sword body just now, there is no trace of it at this moment.
"Lord Caesar, are you alright?" Natalie leaned over cautiously and asked, her eyes fixed on the sword, as if she still had lingering fear.
"I'm fine." Samwell smiled, "This sword is really heavy, it almost didn't kill me from exhaustion."
"She is resisting you." The old knight's voice came, with both doubts and shock in his tone, "but at the same time, she is also welcoming you."
Samwell was taken aback for a moment.
Is this called "rejection and welcome"?
Seeing the seriousness on the old knight's face and the piety in his eyes, Samwell wisely did not speak out about his complaints.
"Perhaps you are right, she really has life." Samwell tentatively said, "I don't know when Sir Arthur Dayne pulled out this sword, was it..."
"No." The old knight shook his head slowly, "I have witnessed Sir Arthur pull out [Dawn] before, and she didn't have such a violent reaction at that time. Not only him, but all the 'Dawn Excalibur' recorded in the history of the Dane family I’m afraid it’s not like what happened to you just now.”
Samwell became proud: "Look, I just said that this sword likes me."
"Yes, you are her master, the real master." The old knight said meaningfully.
His expression changed for a while, and finally he knelt down in front of Samwell, offered the saber around his waist, and said:
"Honorable Lord Samwell Caesar, I, Lucas Dane, would like to swear allegiance to you, and will be your forerunner from now on, and may the long sword of the stars be my witness."
"You want to be loyal to me?" Samwell was a little confused.
"Yes, I am the sword guard, and I am only loyal to the master of [Dawn], no matter whether he is from the Dane family or not."
Samwell touched his chin, nodded and said:
"Okay, I accept your allegiance."
As soon as the voice fell, he found a new change in his attribute panel:
Character: Samwell Caesar
Title: Pioneering Knight
Territory: None
Vassal: Lucas Dayne (Knight)
Strength: 4.44
Dexterity: 1.25
Spirit: 2.17
Charge into battle: 1/100
He found that in addition to the fact that Lucas Dayne's name was added to the column of vassals on the panel, there was an extra line at the bottom—Leading into battle.
What does it mean?
There is no manual for this **** attribute panel, let alone a cute little **** explainer, so Samwell can only try to figure it out by himself.
Based on his rich game experience in his previous life, Samwell felt that the "charge" should be a new skill.
Judging from the meaning of the name, it may be that he will be more powerful when he leads his vassal knights into battle.
And the 1/100 should be a reminder that he needs to gather a hundred vassal knights in order to upgrade this skill to the full level.
However, one hundred vassal knights... this is a bit difficult.
Forget it, collect it slowly in the future.
Samwell looked at his attribute panel and suddenly thought, what would happen if his vassal had an extra baron?
Will there be new skills?
What about the Viscount? Where is the Earl? Even, what about the Duke?
Really looking forward to it...
"My lord? Do you need me to help you up?" Lucas looked at Samwell who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and couldn't help asking.
"Ahem, I can do it myself." Samwell had regained some strength and stood up by himself.
At the same time, he also picked up the giant sword [Dawn].
This time, there was no obstacle. Although the sword was quite heavy, it was already the weight of a normal weapon. Unlike just now, it was actually heavier than Samwell's war hammer [Thunder].
Of course, the sword didn't have the miraculous power it had just now.
However, Samwell could feel that the sword seemed to have a vague connection with him, as if he could wake her up and reproduce the scene just now if he needed it.
But in that case, Samwell might also collapse quickly.
He felt that maybe he could last longer after his strength attribute continued to improve.
It may also be because it is now at the trough of the magic power tide, and all things related to magic are suppressed. When the red comet comes in the future, the magic power tide will strengthen again, and perhaps this sword will be able to exert its true power.
Samwell played with this giant sword, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Does this sword have a scabbard?"
"have."
Lucas came to the corner, opened a wooden box stacked there, and took out a scabbard from it.
This scabbard should be tailor-made for [Leon], the size is just right, and it also comes with a cowhide strap.
[Dawn] was too long to be worn around the waist, so Samwell had to carry it behind his back.
The three of them went downstairs like this. The guards outside the tower were shocked when they saw the sword behind Samwell.
"Sir Lucas, you said that you are only loyal to the master of [Dawn], so have you ever followed Sir Arthur Dayne?"
"You can call me Lucas." Lucas nodded, "Yes, my lord, I did follow Sir Arthur back then. However, when he joined the Kingsguard, I left."
Samwell nodded, but he could understand the reason.
After all, as the king's personal bodyguard, the Kingsguard has special duties, so how could it be possible to bring a follower.
Unless this follower can also don the white robes and become a member of the Kingsguard.
But obviously, Lucas may not be qualified to become a white knight.
Perhaps this is a kind of luck for Lucas, otherwise he might also die under the Tower of Bliss with Arthur Dayne.
On the way back, the three of them, no matter the servants, guards, or knights of the Dane family, stared blankly at the giant sword behind Samwell.
Samwell was quite at ease with such gazes, and he also noticed that there was obviously more respect and awe in everyone's gazes—
Even more than when he led the army to conquer Starfall City before.
Is this the influence of the giant sword [Dawn] in Starfall City?
Passing through a courtyard, Samwell happened to bump into two familiar figures—Prince Oberyn and Princess Arianne.
Princess Arianne smiled slightly when she saw Samwell, and was about to say hello when she heard the uncle beside her scream:
"You pulled out 【Dawn】?"
