I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 284 Joining the battlefield

"Edward, you mean to say that you are going to join the war with the Dragon Clan? Are you crazy? Even if your strength has reached the level of a quasi-sword master, fighting in a war is much more cruel than a duel in the ring."

After hearing what Edward said, Xilu showed an expression of surprise and confusion on his face.

"Of course I know this. Master often warned me like this before." When Edward said this, he put away his previous smile, and his expression suddenly became melancholy: "But if I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Why?" Xilu expressed confusion.

"When I was ten years old, the dragon clan destroyed the town where I lived, and I lost my parents as a result. Everything I once owned was destroyed by the dragon's breath."

"So, no matter whether this war is just or not, or how cruel the war is, I have to go there. At that time, my father died in front of me like that. I..." Edward said, his voice became smaller and smaller, his head

It hangs down to his chest, obviously this incident has cast quite a shadow on him.

Edward's words surprised Xilu and the others. It turned out that this seemingly heartless guy had actually experienced such a miserable childhood. They looked at each other, but didn't know what to say to comfort the boy.

After a long time, Leide stepped forward and patted Edward on the shoulder, and said softly: "Edward, I actually don't agree with you rushing to the battlefield like this, but as your friends, we should support you in completing your mission, but there is one thing I

Hope you can remember."

Edward raised his head, with tears still in his eyes, and nodded to indicate to the other party to continue.

Leide took a deep breath, and then let out a long breath: "My master once told me this: If you wield the sword for sorrow, then it will only bring you more sorrow. I hope

Remember this, no matter how sad things happened in the past, don’t let it become a shackles on your life.”

After listening to Leide's words, Edward suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he raised his head. The sadness and confusion in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a firmness that revealed confidence.

"Thank you, Leide, I will keep these words in my heart."

Then everyone exchanged some expectations and opinions about the future. Half an hour later, they said goodbye to each other and then embarked on their own journeys.

In the evening, Edward visited the Senate of the Mercenary Kingdom again and met with the Great Elder, telling him his decision to join the war with the Dragon Clan.

The Senate was very pleased with the decision of this new powerful man, and immediately arranged a comfortable guest room for Edward.

Edward was in a good mood at the moment. When he returned to the room and opened the door at night, he found Saladin already sitting in the room waiting for him.

"Master, I have decided to go to Gravel Canyon and fight those dragons." Edward was stunned for a moment when he saw the familiar figure, and then said.

"Well, the Senate has informed me of the situation." Saladin nodded, and then said, "Don't worry, since you have made your decision, I will not stop you."

Edward was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought that Saladin would firmly oppose this decision. After all, the dragon clan was too powerful, and his father also died tragically under their dragon breath.

"Master, do you agree?"

"Originally, I wasn't going to let you participate in the war so early, but I found that you seem to have made very obvious progress now. It seems that you have grown a lot. It's time to go out and have a try." Saladin said, coming from the corner

He picked up a huge black sword and handed it to Edward's hand.

Edward reached out and took the weapon. The moment he touched the surface of the sword, an extremely cold feeling suddenly spread throughout his body.

The sword blade radiated an extremely cold light, making him shudder just by looking at it.

"Master, this is it." Edward lowered his head and looked at the sword, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"The name of this sword is Shadow Oath. Legend has it that it was an epic weapon created to fight the demon dragon during the Demon-Conquering War. Its extremely sharp blade is paired with a blade with top-notch resistance. When fighting the demon dragon,

It can easily cut through dragon scales during the process, so it is also called the Dragon-Slaying Sword."

Saladin explained patiently, and then sighed.

"Master, why did you give such a precious weapon to me?"

After Edward heard about the origin of the sword, he did not want to accept such an expensive gift.

"Take it. From now on, you are my successor, Saladin, and this sword is my apprenticeship gift to you. You need to walk on your own in the future."

"Master, I understand." Edward nodded. Although he refused, as a strong man, he could tell at a glance that this weapon was a rare treasure. He pulled out the original long sword, and then took the dark oath of shadow.

Put it into the scabbard.

"Very good, see you later, Edward."

After Saladin finished speaking, he opened the heavy door, and a strong wind outside the door immediately swept into the room.

"Yes." Edward nodded and watched Saladin's back disappear around the corner.

Silent Temple, Hall.

At this time, Merlin was reporting to his master, the great sage in black, Bailu, about his trip to Kalei.

After Bailu finished listening, he was silent for a while.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said to Merlin: "Merlin, your experience in going to Kalei this time was wonderful, and I think you should gain a lot from it."

Merlin looked a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, teacher, my disciple decided to participate in the mercenary fighting competition without authorization. I hope you won't blame me."

"No, no, no, Merlin, you seem to have misunderstood. I don't mean to blame you. Before you came back, I already understood the ins and outs of the whole thing. I'm curious, how did you feel about working with someone for the first time?

"Bailu said to Merlin with a smile.

"That guy named Edward is indeed a genius in martial arts. When fighting with him, it gave me an incredible feeling." Merlin hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out what he was thinking.

"Well, very good. What are your plans next?" Bailu nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"Well, this disciple has no plans for the time being." Merlin opened his mouth, planning to say something.

But after a second thought, I swallowed what I originally wanted to say.

"Don't hide it from me, I guess you want to find the boy named Edward. If the information I got is correct, that boy seems to be planning to go to Gravel Canyon to participate in the war between humans and dragons."

"Teacher, how did you know about Edward?" Merlin looked a little flustered.
