Chapter 578: A Sword

After placing the order, the merchant said that processing would take some time and it would likely be delivered on the evening of the day after tomorrow; this speed was already very fast.

The next day, Grandfather led a large group of the younger generation of the Albert family to the collection room on the top floor of the castle to show them the family's honors and recount the history of the family's prosperity.

Because there was nothing for Luo Quan to do, she took her phone and went alone into the forest behind the mountain to relax.

Although the forest was very large, the butler would place a road sign on the ground every so often, so even though Luo Quan had some sense of direction issues, she didn't need to worry about getting lost at all.

After entering the forest, Luo Quan turned on the livestreaming function on her phone and aimed the camera at the lush trees around her.

"I returned to London yesterday, and today I'm taking everyone for a stroll in the forest behind the manor."

As she spoke, Luo Quan changed the title of the livestream room to "Primeval Forest Adventure," instantly attracting a large number of fans and passersby to watch.

"Which mountain is the streamer in?"

"This forest looks really nice. Is it abroad?"

"This environment is just too good."

"It's probably some nature reserve in the UK."

"I wonder if we can encounter any rare wild animals."

"Damn, are there so many passersby?"

"Friendly reminder: this is the streamer's backyard mountain; it's all the streamer's family property."

……………………

Because of the title, quite a few backpackers and adventure enthusiasts were attracted this time. Most of them knew Luo Quan, but they didn't know the specific situation of her family.

And the enthusiastic fans were also popularizing science for the newcomers, and after popularizing it, they would feel a sense of shared honor.

"The streamer's own family property?"

"Are you kidding? What kind of conditions does the family have?"

"The streamer's family is in real estate, the world's largest real estate developer."

"Oh, that's fine then. No wonder she's so rich."

………………

Seeing so many newcomers in the barrage, Luo Quan explained again: "This primeval forest can be considered our family's territory. I'm not sure exactly how big the forest is, but if you keep walking further in, there are valleys, lakes, and the like."

"By the way," Luo Quan seemed to remember something, "there is also a herd of white deer in the forest. I don't know exactly how many there are. Old viewers should all know what white deer look like. If we are lucky, we might be able to see them in a while."

"White deer? Is it the British white deer?"

"Amazing, this thing is as rare as a wild giant panda. In the legend of King Arthur, it is a symbol of luck and holiness."

"This is the streamer's grandfather's manor. The streamer herself also has a manor in another place, and there are also some white deer living in the back mountain of that manor. We even filmed them during the livestream at that time."

"What kind of fairy family is this? I feel like I'm living in the Middle Ages."

"I've always heard that Luo Quan's family is very rich, but I didn't expect them to be this rich."

"Is the White Deer Princess going to appear too? So looking forward to it."

…………………………

A group of new and old viewers in the barrage were communicating, while Luo Quan was just walking while looking at the surrounding scenery.

As for the white deer, that thing was so rare, and the forest was so big, how could it be so easy to see.

As for the nickname White Deer Princess, it was originally marketed for her by foreign media. She had always felt a bit ashamed, but although this nickname sounded good, it was much more pleasant to hear than something like Abyssal Bawanghua.

However, some things are sometimes just that coincidental.

After walking inside for about ten minutes, the white deer that the barrage had been talking about really appeared.

It stood on a small slope, just quietly looking at Luo Quan.

Luo Quan also discovered it at the first moment, then immediately stopped her steps, and then aimed the camera at it.

"Everyone look, the white deer has appeared," Luo Quan said in a low voice.

"Damn, speak of the devil."

"As expected of the White Deer Princess."

"It's really snow-white, it's too beautiful."

"Can we observe it at close range?"

"Deer are very timid. If there is any rash movement, it will probably run away immediately."

……………………

Not long after this barrage was sent, the white deer took the initiative to walk towards Luo Quan, just like the little white deer Luo Quan encountered in her own forest at the beginning.

"Is it that bold?" Luo Quan scratched her head, "Or is my charm already so great that it works on both humans and animals?"

She couldn't figure it out, but seeing the white deer take the initiative to walk over, Luo Quan's movements also became larger, reaching out a hand forward, making a petting gesture.

However, the white deer didn't stretch out its head for Luo Quan to pet, but raised its head and stuck out its tongue to lick her.

"Damn, I am officially envious of this deer."

"This scene adds to my desire to be Luo Quan's dog."

"How come even animals want to take advantage of my wife? And they succeeded!"

"Your wife? You didn't eat peanuts while drinking, did you?"

……………………

Not paying attention to the envious voices in the barrage, Luo Quan, whose palm was a little itchy from being licked, took her hand back, then walked forward two steps and squatted down.

Generally speaking, if someone got this close, the white deer would have run away long ago, but facing Luo Quan, it behaved quite affectionately, rubbing its head against Luo Quan's leg, looking very happy.

Luo Quan also took this opportunity to take a few photos of the white deer. The opportunity to take photos of such rare wild animals at this distance is not something that happens all the time.

About a minute later, the white deer turned and ran forward for a distance, and the barrage was full of regret.

However, the white deer ran about a few meters away and turned its head to look at Luo Quan. The four eyes met, and Luo Quan quickly understood what this meant.

"Is this white deer asking me to follow it?" Luo Quan stood up and asked the audience in the livestream room, "By the way, are there any zoologists here? Tell me, are white deer really this smart?"

"I don't know, anyway, if it were me, I would also try every means to kidnap you."

"Haha, the person above is correct. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?"

"This world is too crazy, everyone wants to kidnap my wife, I'm going to call the police!"

………………

The comments were all jokes and lacked any real substance, so Luo Quan took one look and lost hope, instead stepping toward Bai Lu.

Seeing Luo Quan walk over, the white deer turned its head and ran forward for a distance again, then stopped again.

The two sides walked and stopped like this, until they entered the depths of the forest.

However, the butler's road-pointing project was done quite well. Even here, you could see road signs. In addition, a box would be hung next to the road signs, containing vacuum-packed bread and water, as well as first-aid supplies such as band-aids and cold medicine.

Even if you really got lost, relying on the supplies next to these road signs, you could hold out for a long time in the forest.

After sighing that the butler's work was really thorough, she turned her head and found that the white deer had disappeared.

However, after passing through the low shrubbery, Luo Quan found that under the guidance of the white deer, she had arrived at a lakeside.

The lake was not big, and it was connected to a stream that stretched into the distance.

The color of the lake was very pure, emitting a white reflection under the sun. Many flying birds landed by the lake to drink water. This natural and harmonious scenery made Luo Quan feel relaxed and happy.

"Everyone look at this lake, it's really beautiful." Luo Quan raised her phone, wanting to let the audience see the scenery here.

But at this moment, she discovered that the livestream room had disconnected, and looking at the phone signal again, it already showed that it was out of service area.

"Damn, is the signal this bad?" Luo Quan complained about the UK's network infrastructure in her heart, and then tried the method of turning on and off flight mode to see if she could search for the network again.

But it didn't succeed, it was estimated that it couldn't cover here.

No way, Luo Quan could only turn off the livestream and open the camera to film the scenery here, and send it to the fans to watch after going back.

In the process of filming the surrounding scenery, Luo Quan found a small wooden house standing by the lake not far away.

"Is it the place where the forest ranger lives?" Luo Quan thought so in her heart, and walked over with her legs.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Is anyone there?" Luo Quan asked loudly.

But there was no response. Luo Quan continued to knock three more times and waited for about half a minute.

Now she judged that there should be no one in the house, so she reached out and twisted the handle on the door.

"Creak—"

The sound of wood squeezing came, and just as the door opened a crack, Luo Quan smelled a foul odor, like something had rotted.

Luo Quan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was a rotting corpse inside?

Having watched countless murder movies, countless scenes about to appear before her eyes began to emerge in her mind.

But after opening the wooden house, she found that there were only spider webs floating in the wind and blackened wood inside.

That foul odor should be the smell of the wood after it rotted.

Besides that, it was almost empty inside.

Seeing that the wooden house had rotted into this state, Luo Quan didn't intend to investigate further. If the wooden house suddenly collapsed, it would be too unlucky.

Closing the door, Luo Quan planned to leave.

Although the scenery was beautiful, it was just that after watching it for a long time. In addition, this was in the depths of the forest. Although she didn't know if there were any large carnivores here, being alone in such a place was ultimately not good. It was better to go back early.

After walking around the wooden house to make sure there was nothing missed, Luo Quan prepared to return.

"Ah!" Luo Quan let out a scream, and she almost fell to the ground after being tripped.

"What is this?" Luo Quan squatted on the ground, and the stinging pain from her ankle made her look down at the injury first.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and it was just some skin trauma, nothing serious.

And looking at the place that tripped her just now, she found that in the pile of fallen leaves, something like a sword hilt was sticking out.

This sword hilt was stuck in a stone slab. This stone slab was for paving the road, and Luo Quan had seen quite a few of them before.

"Shi Zhongjian?"

Luo Quan stood up with a smile, thinking of the legendary story in the UK and the legendary hero King Arthur.

As one of the most popular characters on Bilibili, the gender-bent King Arthur's popularity had always been comparable to Railgun, and her decisive battle: Shi Zhongjian had always been a frequent visitor in hot-blooded anime mashups.

However, the one that released this big move was the Sword of Promised Victory, which is Shi Zhongjian, and it was not the same sword as the Shi Zhongjian.

In legend, Arthur ascended to the throne as king only after pulling out the Shi Zhongjian, and in later battles, the Shi Zhongjian was destroyed, and he obtained a new sword from the fairy, which was the Sword of Promised Victory, Shi Zhongjian.

Of course, these were all legendary things, including the person Arthur Pendragon. Historians had not found any evidence to prove the existence of this person. Similarly, these two swords were probably also fictional.

Although she didn't know why there was a sword stuck here, since she bumped into it, she would also imitate King Arthur and pull this thing out of the stone.

Luo Quan rubbed her hands and grasped the sword hilt wrapped in bandages.

Originally, she thought it would be very strenuous, but she didn't expect it to be easier than pulling a radish out of the soil, and she pulled it out without much effort.

Although it had been stuck in the soil for an unknown amount of time, when this sword was pulled out, there was no mud on the blade at all.

The silver-white blade was as clean as new and shining brightly. Luo Quan touched the sword body lightly with her fingers and felt a chill that penetrated into her bones.

This was definitely a precious sword with extremely high craftsmanship, the kind that could cut iron like mud and blow hair to break.

"Detected a high-value cultural relic, it is recommended that the host collect it."

At this time, the system sent a prompt, saying that this was a high-value cultural relic.

The last time she received this kind of reminder for a cultural relic was the Heirloom Seal of the Realm. Could it be that this was a cultural relic of the same grade as the Heirloom Seal of the Realm?

Luo Quan's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly asked: "Do you know the specific year of this sword?"

"It has been more than a thousand years."

"More than a thousand years, doesn't that just happen to coincide with the era of King Arthur?"

Luo Quan's breathing became rapid, and she had a very bold idea in her heart: Could it be that she really got the Sword of Promised Victory?

"System, can you identify the true identity of this sword? Is it the Sword of Promised Victory?" Luo Quan's heart became hot. If this was really the legendary Sword of Promised Victory, if it were to be revealed to the world, she didn't know what a huge wave it would set off in the Western world.

If the Heirloom Seal of the Realm is the treasure of China and even the entire East Asian cultural circle, then the Sword of Promised Victory is about the same status.

This is a treasure that only exists in myths and legends. No one has seen the real thing, and even the relevant stone materials are very rare.

Most people think that this is a fictional precious sword, but if this sword is identified as real, the word "priceless" is not enough to describe it!

Before, saying she was the White Deer Princess was just a joke, and the British royal family couldn't give her a real princess title.

But if she found the real Sword of Promised Victory, then it is estimated that everyone in the UK would wish she could be this princess.

"This cannot be identified."

The system's answer made Luo Quan's hot heart cool down by half instantly.

"The system does not have a dedicated treasure appraisal function and can only know its year. However, according to detection, this sword is definitely not an ordinary cold weapon and belongs to a special type of cultural relic like the Heirloom Seal of the Realm. It is recommended to collect it."

"With your words, I can rest assured." Luo Quan revealed a smile.

"Then I will tentatively treat it as the Sword of Promised Victory." Holding the long sword upright, Luo Quan said to it softly. ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
