Chapter 139: The Three Great Divine Artifacts
Although Old Xie failed to become a great poet in everyone’s mind, his open and aboveboard attitude won everyone’s respect. Arthas couldn’t help but look at him with new eyes and said with admiration, “Now I somewhat believe that you are of the Elven Royal Family! Because I see in you the noble qualities that an Elven Noble should have!”
However, Old Xie didn’t appreciate it and sneered directly: “Cut it out. Do you think I care about that bullshit Royal Family identity? In my eyes, there is no such thing as a naturally noble bloodline in the world. To put it plainly, so-called kings and generals are just ordinary people.”
“That’s not necessarily true!” Arthas immediately retorted: “Those heroes in your Human Race history were mostly of Noble origin. It can be seen that Nobles are superior to commoners!”
“That’s just because they received a good education. If commoners also had that kind of opportunity for education, they wouldn’t be worse than Nobles. Don’t forget, among the experts of various countries now, those from commoner backgrounds still account for the majority.” Old Xie said disdainfully: “Besides, thousands of years ago, was there any such thing as Nobles among humans? Weren’t they all just slaves of the Elves? It was only later when the Elves declined that it was their turn to stand out! Since everyone was the same before, and the human bloodline hasn’t changed now, on what basis can we distinguish who is noble?”
Being said this by Old Xie, Arthas was immediately stumped. After thinking for a while, he could only smile bitterly: “Alright, I admit that your words do make some sense. From this, it can be seen that your brain is indeed very wise. However, you must also admit that we Elves are different from humans. Those of us with Royal Bloodline are naturally noble because we are the descendants of gods!” When Arthas said this, he couldn’t help but reveal a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.
“In my opinion, whether one is noble or not only depends on strength. The Elven Royal Family’s bloodline can naturally activate Divine Artifacts, so their strength is powerful, and naturally, they can win respect. It makes sense to say they are noble. But if you didn’t have this ability, what would become of the Elven Royal Family? So what if you are descendants of gods? Wouldn’t you be exactly the same as other Elves? What kind of nobility is there to speak of?”
“You, you are too narrow-minded? Is strength everything in your eyes?” Arthas couldn’t help but frown and said.
“Of course!” Old Xie said without hesitation: “As long as you are strong enough, you can have everything, you can even become a Deity! In fact, aren’t Deities worshipped precisely because of the terrible power they possess?”
“This~” Arthas was stumped by Old Xie again. He then couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “I increasingly believe that you possess the bloodline of the Elven Royal Family, because I really can’t imagine a barbarian being able to analyze problems so thoroughly!”
“Come on, I’ve said it before, I don’t care about the identity of the Elven Royal Family!” Old Xie said very directly.
“But I care!” Arthas said unusually seriously: “Little Stephen, since you drew the Sun God Bow and shot the Sun God Arrow, then you are our kin. For any member of the Elven Royal Family, we have the obligation to protect them!”
“Cough cough!” Old Xie couldn’t help but cough twice with a laugh, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: “I say, my dear little brother Arthas, it seems that I am the one protecting you right now!”
“Sigh!” When this was mentioned, Arthas became extremely depressed and said helplessly: “Alright, alright, I’ll owe you this one time. But don’t worry, I will definitely save your life twice in the future as repayment!”
“Che, with my strength, is there anything that can threaten me? Do you think you’ll have a chance to save my life?” Old Xie then said with a grin: “Rest assured, I will make you owe me forever!”
“Hmph, just keep bragging. I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you!” Arthas finished speaking and suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly took out the Sun God Bow again and said to Old Xie: “By the way, let’s do an experiment. Can you sense the Sun God Bow in my hand with your mind now?”
“That’s right!” Old Xie said: “As soon as it appeared, I sensed it!”
“Then summon it!” Arthas said.
“Summon?” Old Xie first frowned, then tried to summon it, but there was no response from the other side. However, Old Xie knew that it clearly felt his summon, but for some reason, it didn’t acknowledge him.
This result made Old Xie very depressed, so he could only smile bitterly and say: “This guy knows I’m calling it, but it’s ignoring me!”
“Try again now!” Arthas said again.
“Trying again is~” Old Xie had just said this when he suddenly discovered that the Sun God Bow flew directly from Arthas’s hand and landed in his palm. It was completely consistent with the command Old Xie had just given it. Old Xie was immediately stunned and hurriedly asked: “What is going on?”
“Hehe!” Arthas smiled slightly, then gently waved his hand, easily summoning the Sun God Bow back from Old Xie, and then explained: “Although the royal bloodlines of the Sun, Moon, and Star Clans can all use the three Divine Artifacts, the Divine Artifacts will prioritize executing the commands of users from their own clan. For example, this Sun God Bow will prioritize executing my command, as I am of the Sun Elf Royal Family. You, obviously, are not of the Sun God Clan’s royal bloodline. Therefore, it will only listen to you when I am not giving orders. Do you understand?”
“No way?” Old Xie immediately asked: “Then why was the Sun God Arrow I shot so much stronger than yours?”
“Sigh!” Arthas sighed depressedly, then smiled bitterly: “The power exerted by the Sun God Bow depends on the user’s strength. The greater the strength used to draw the bow, the more Sun God Power it infuses into the arrow, and the power of the Sun God Arrow naturally increases. You guy, where did that perverted strength of yours come from?”
“Haha, so that’s how it is!” Old Xie immediately laughed loudly: “I say, since you can’t exert the power of the Sun God Bow, you might as well give it to me. In the hands of a sissy like you, it’s simply humiliating the Divine Artifact!”
“Get lost!” Arthas couldn’t help but curse angrily: “This is the symbol of the Sun Elf Royal Family, how can we just give it to an outsider? Even if you are from the other two royal families, it’s not allowed! And don’t think that strength is the only way to exert the power of the Sun God Bow. Actually, that arrow you shot today, I could have shot it too, as long as I used our family’s exclusive secret technique.”
“Then why didn’t you shoot earlier? Did you have to wait until we were all wiped out before you exerted your full strength?” Old Xie immediately said dissatisfiedly.
“No, the key is, my strength is not yet sufficient to activate the next form of the Sun God Bow. I can only forcefully use the secret technique to activate it. But using the secret technique consumes life force, and afterwards, I might have to lie in bed for half a year. The situation at that time wasn’t very critical, so~” Arthas said somewhat awkwardly.
“Is that so!” Old Xie then asked curiously: “The Sun God Bow has another form?”
“En!” Arthas nodded: “The Sun God Bow is usually about the same power as a Legendary Item. When there is sunlight, it can easily be raised to the level of a Sub-divine Artifact and add the Sun God Arrow skill. And if the user reaches the Saint Domain Level, they can activate the Sun God Bow to enter the next form and become a true Divine Artifact. At that time, its power will increase several times.”
“What if there is no sunlight?” Old Xie asked curiously.
“Without sunlight, one can only rely on the user’s strength to forcefully activate it. If one wants to make the Sun God Bow enter the Divine Artifact state at night, at least a Legendary Expert is needed to do it. And during this period, all the consumption of the Sun God Bow can only be provided by the user. But during the day, the Sun God Bow can absorb energy from the sunlight by itself. The user only needs to use a little of their own power to release a very strong attack. For example, today, I could have fired a dozen Sun God Arrows in a row during the day without being tired at all. But at night, after these dozen arrows, I’m afraid I would be exhausted!” Arthas explained.
“What about the Moon Wheel?” Old Xie asked curiously: “What is so special about this Divine Artifact?”
“The Moon Wheel is very different from the Sun God Bow. It is a three-bladed wheel-shaped throwing weapon. In addition, it has another difference from the Sun God Bow, which is that the power of the Moon Wheel is completely reflected by the user’s Magic Power. The stronger the user’s Magic Power, the greater the power. Also, the Moon Wheel has three states, but it can only exert its power to the utmost when there is moonlight. Especially at the beginning and middle of the month, the stronger the light of the moon, the more powerful the Moon Wheel becomes!”
“Then who is more powerful, the Moon Wheel or the Sun God Bow?” Old Xie immediately asked.
“Hehe!” Arthas smiled slightly, then explained: “There is a saying for the Sun God Bow, ‘Whenever there is sunlight, my power doubles.’ And the Moon Wheel also has a saying, ‘Whenever there is a full moon, I am indestructible.’ Obviously, being indestructible is much stronger than doubling power. Therefore, during a full moon, the strongest power of the Moon Wheel is slightly more powerful than the strongest power of the Sun God Bow. And during a crescent moon, the strongest power of the Moon Wheel is naturally slightly inferior to the Sun God Bow. However, no matter what, the Sun God Bow in the day is much more powerful than the Moon Wheel, and the Moon Wheel at night is a hundred times stronger than the Sun God Bow!”
“What about the Star Meteor?” Old Xie continued to ask.
