Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Dragon Slayer Sword and the Son of the Dragon Slaying Hero_1
Seeing Taylor's intense reaction, Leo Ray, who was surprised, couldn't help but ask with doubt, "Taylor, do you recognize this sword?"
"Yes, my lord. Indeed, I do."
After a while, the slightly calmer Taylor took a deep breath and responded, "My lord, to be honest, this Dragon Slash Sword was once my father's sidearm!"
"Oh? So your father was the renowned Dragon-slaying Hero?"
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray was surprised. Such an extraordinary coincidence was far beyond his expectations.
"That's right." Taylor nodded heavily and said, "Years ago, my father went missing after falling into an abyss to save his companion, and the whereabouts of this sword were also unknown.
I never thought I would see it again here, more than twenty years later."
"Well, that's perfect. Now, the Dragon Slash Sword can return to its rightful owner." Without hesitation, Leo Ray directly smiled.
"My lord... Are you really giving it to me?" Hearing this, Taylor still couldn't believe it and stared at Leo Ray with a puzzled face.
It is important to know that such a divine weapon is not something that can be easily obtained. Its value is enough to train and equip an elite army of thousands of people.
What is most critical is that this is the sword of his own father, which bears a special significance.
And he has only been here for less than a day.
No matter how he thought of it, this gift seemed too valuable.
"Indeed, I am. For now, we can only provide you with limited things. When our conditions improve, we can get you a tailor-made armor." Leo Ray continued nodding and smiling, indicating that Taylor shouldn't feel embarrassed.
"Thank you... Thank you so much, my lord! From now on, I will be at your service till death!"
On the other side, Taylor knelt on one knee and deeply bowed to Leo Ray. Due to his excitement, his rough voice trembled slightly.
At the same time, a prompt sounded in Leo Ray's ear.
[Congratulations, your Tier 5 Second Star Berserker subordinate Taylor has developed an indelible gratitude towards you, raising their Loyalty to 100 points and pledging to serve you till death!]
[Prompt: Subordinates who pledge to serve you till death will never have their Loyalty decrease and become the most reliable core force on the battlefield!]
[Congratulations! Due to your Tier 5 Second Star Berserker subordinate Taylor raising their Loyalty to 100 points, a new skill "Earth-splitting Slash" has been unlocked!]
[Congratulations! Due to your Tier 5 Second Star Berserker subordinate Taylor raising their Loyalty to 100 points, a new skill "Dragon-breaking Fierce Slash" has been unlocked!]
[Congratulations! Due to your Tier 5 Second Star Berserker subordinate Taylor raising their Loyalty to 100 points, a new skill "Two-handed Sword Mastery" has been unlocked!]
Hearing this series of prompts, Leo Ray was slightly surprised.
Originally, he thought that Taylor's Loyalty would rise to at most 70 or 75 points after receiving the weapon.
But due to the unexpected coincidence, Taylor's Loyalty was directly raised to its maximum of 100 points!
While feeling excited, Leo Ray opened Taylor's Attribute Column once again.
[Name: Taylor]
[Occupation: Berserker]
[Tier: Tier 5 Second Star (The higher the star, the stronger the strength)]
[Loyalty: 100 (Never Decreases)]
[Skill 1: Berserk 'Active' (Significantly increases self strength, entering a weakened state after use)]
[Skill 2: Earth-splitting Slash 'Active' (Earth attribute physical group attack)]
[Skill 3: Dragon-breaking Fierce Slash 'Active' (Physical single-target attack, with special effect on the Dragon Clan)]
[Skill 4: Two-handed Sword Mastery 'Passive' (Increases damage when using two-handed swords)]
"Wow, a total of four skills with both area of effect and single-target options."
In amazement, Leo Ray stepped forward and helped Taylor up with both hands.
Originally, Leo Ray was curious and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Taylor's background and his father's dragon-slaying experience to gain a better understanding of this world.
But seeing Taylor's excited yet somewhat sorrowful complex expression, he could only shake his head and give up, gently patting Taylor's back to comfort him.
However, it was clear that Taylor's face was filled with excitement that he could hardly contain!
Thus, time flew by amidst the laughter and songs of the subordinates, and it was soon midnight.
Leo Ray instructed the captains to arrange for everyone to clean up and rest as soon as possible.
Fed and hydrated, Leo Ray yawned and returned to the Lord's Mansion to sleep.
It was not until he lay on the soft and luxurious wooden bed on the second floor of the Mansion that, although exhausted, Leo Ray began to review the events of the day before falling asleep.
From the initial bewildering arrival, the awakening of the Golden Finger, winning the global first place, to gaining Taylor's pledge of loyalty.
Now, he was living in a more comfortable and spacious Mansion than others, and didn't have to worry about food and resources.
It was all so incredible.
But the noise of the subordinates cleaning outside the window and the cold touch of the Falling Moon Blade beside the pillow were real, proving that this was reality.
At this thought, Leo Ray couldn't help but smile.
In this strange yet limitless new world, he could obviously live a life that was unimaginable in his previous existence!
And all of this was just the beginning.
The night was silent.
The next morning, when the Big Sun had just risen and the Little Sun was yet to come up.
Leo Ray pushed open the door of the Mansion and took a deep breath of fresh air.
At this time, the surroundings were filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. His subordinates were already busying themselves, seemingly preparing breakfast.
"My lord, please wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon!"
Seeing Leo Ray appear, Gavin Sullivan, who was instructing others on how to make pottery and cooking utensils nearby, immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"You've worked hard. How is everyone settling in?" Smiling and nodding, Leo Ray immediately asked.
"It's very comfortable, my lord."
Gavin Sullivan scratched his head and laughed, "This house is even better than our village chief's home, and the brothers are very happy."
"That's good. Inform the other captains that if they need anything, they can talk to me without any hesitation." Patting Gavin Sullivan's shoulder, Leo Ray continued comfortingly.
"Yes, my lord! Thank you for your kindness. I'll inform them right away!" After saying this, Gavin Sullivan respectfully saluted and retreated.
After that, seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Leo Ray returned to the Lord's Mansion.
"Retrieve today's Recruitment Order!"
Immediately, Leo Ray summoned four brand-new Tier 1 Recruitment Orders to his hands.
Next, it was time for the exciting and enjoyable leveling!
"I wonder what results I will get this time?"
Looking at the Recruitment Orders in his hand, Leo Ray couldn't help but fill with anticipation.
