Chapter 133

~4 min read 679 words

In the very simple-looking box, there was a brown and black sword blade.

This blade was like a flash of lightning in the night, shining brightly in the sun.

The surface of its blade was intertwined with deep brown and tough black; these two colors seemed to be symbols of the glory and toughness accumulated in its past battles.

The edge of the blade was extremely sharp, and the edge was as smooth as a mirror, making one can't help but marvel at its exquisite craftsmanship.

Looking at it, every inch of the blade revealed a kind of perseverance and determination, as if it were a silent incarnation of a contract.

The black part was like the deep night sky, containing the unknown and mystery, while the brown patterns were like ancient legends, engraved with the marks of time.

When it was swung, it seemed to be able to tear the air.

Looking at this Summit Shaper, Lin Mo recognized it at a glance.

This brown and black sword blade was not just a weapon; it was a symbol of a contract!

"You recognize it?"

Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Keqing, who was paying attention to Lin Mo at all times, had a look of surprise in her beautiful purple eyes.

How come Lin Mo's appearance seemed to recognize this ancient Summit Shaper?

That shouldn't be.

This Summit Shaper is a sword that even most of the elders in Liyue might not know about.

"In the extremely distant past, in the era when gods and monsters roamed the earth, during the period of turmoil in heaven and earth, people inevitably had such questions."

Hearing Keqing's words, Lin Mo spoke slowly: "'Please have mercy and tell me, where have our lovers and children gone?' 'Please have mercy and tell me, when will those who have left return?' 'Ah, my Lord, how long will such terrifying years last?'"

"Even the people who grew up in hard mountain rocks would have their hearts cracked by pain. Even if they stubbornly kept their faith in the gods without saying a word, their eyes would become hot. Even if they had never thrown these questions out, the inquiries hidden in their hearts would make a sound."

"The Geo Archon then performed miracles, carving a long blade from pure golden Cor Lapis, swinging the sword to cut off a corner of the mountain, thereby establishing a supreme and solemn contract with the people."

"Those who are scattered will surely gather and return; those who break the contract will surely be punished."

"Those who have lost their loved ones, those who have lost their treasures, and those who have suffered injustice will be compensated."

"Perhaps it is just one of the countless folk tales of true or false on the ancient land of Liyue. But the solemn contract of the Geo Archon may still be operating in the world of Liyue today. Breaking the contract is to be an enemy of this land that the god once governed. The mountain peak cut off by the Archon will sooner or later fall on the head of the contract breaker."

"Nowadays, there are still legends in the countryside that its true owner will reappear in the world in the future. At that time, this long blade will shine with golden light again, cutting off the greatest injustice in the world, just like the grand oath the Geo Archon made before the people thousands of years ago."

Lin Mo talked eloquently, narrating the background story of the Summit Shaper, which made Keqing's eyes widen.

What Lin Mo said was exactly the same as the handwriting engraved on the ancient scroll carried by this sword!

"You actually really know it, and you can even tell its story."

Keqing had a look of surprise in her beautiful purple eyes: "Even the elders of Liyue might not know it."

The story of this sword, according to ancient rumors, is only known to the Liyue Qixing of past generations.

Or it was passed down from generation to generation by the ancient ancestors of Liyue.
