The moment Horn saw the electric glimmers emitted by these weapons, he realized that they were extremely special!
As a thunder mage, he had an unusual perception of thunder, so he immediately noticed the uniqueness of these weapons.
However, this was not the time to study these weapons. Although he was very curious, the white - robed deacons patrolling in the air would soon arrive here!
There were more than thirty white - robed deacons in total, and there must be fourth - order priests among them.
There were only five white - robed deacons stationed in the entire city of Leon!
Not to mention that there must be high - level professionals at the archpriest level behind so many white - robed deacons, and Horn himself couldn't even deal with a fourth - order priest!
"Quickly tell them that more than thirty white - robed deacons are about to fly over from behind. Either they all go into the cave to hide together or they all die!"
Horn quickly asked Annie to act as an interpreter and explain the situation to those other - worlders. He didn't have time to waste with them.
Annie quickly told Xiaolan the whole thing. She was sure that this was the fastest she had ever spoken since she was born.
After hearing this, Xiaolan also realized that something big had happened and immediately relayed it to the leader of the Thunderbolt Clan, their elder.
After the elder listened, an electric current flashed across his stony face, and then he made a strange gesture. It seemed that their clan used gestures to express emotions.
After instructing his clansmen, the elder and other members of the Thunderbolt Clan got into the cave one after another. The last one to enter was Xiaolan. Before going in, he waved to Horn and the others, indicating for them to come in too.
After everyone got into the cave, Luke the hoe planted a row of seeds at the entrance of the cave. After chanting a spell, a green light splashed from the tip of his staff.
The light fell on the seeds, and they quickly took root and germinated. Gradually, the branches spread out and sealed the entrance of the cave completely!
The method of催生 plants amazed the members of the Thunderbolt Clan. They had never seen such a strange spell. In fact, there were no plants in their world.
After settling down, Horn also confirmed through Annie that it wasn't that the Thunderbolt Clan had a way to shield perception, but that the cave itself could shield perception!
So as long as the entrance of the cave wasn't discovered, it would be safe inside this cave.
It seemed that the thing lost by the Thunderbolt Clan in Ceylon was something extraordinary, otherwise, there wouldn't be such an arrangement for a cave.
In nervous anticipation, more than thirty white - robed deacons slowly flew over in the sky, and the cyan cyclone kept scanning outside!
Horn and the others even held their breath nervously, and the members of the Thunderbolt Clan also tried their best to suppress the electric light on their bodies!
Finally, the cyan wind outside the cave dispersed, and those deacons had left!
They didn't find Horn and the others!
This cave could really block perception!
After those deacons left, the elder of the Thunderbolt Clan didn't rush to drive Horn and the others away.
After all, the situation outside was still uncertain. If they went out rashly and were caught, then the cave would surely be exposed. To be on the safe side, the elder still let Horn and the others stay here.
There was nothing to do in the cave. Horn subtly told the wild witches that they could ask him any questions they wanted. But the journey had already started for two days, and the wild witches didn't have any questions to ask Horn for the time being.
Annie pretended to ask Horn some small questions, but Horn could tell at a glance that she actually didn't have any real problems.
Seeing that Annie seemed to have nothing to do, Horn pulled her to act as his translator because he was very interested in the weapons of the Thunderbolt Clan.
He asked these Thunderbolt Clan members to show their weapons through Annie. Horn thought that these Thunderbolt Clan members wouldn't agree to his unreasonable request, but unexpectedly, these Thunderbolt Clan members were very easy - going, at least Xiaolan was.
Xiaolan drew out his weapon and placed it horizontally in front of Horn.
It was a stone long - knife. The blade wasn't very sharp and didn't seem very strong. Compared with the steel swords in Ceylon, it was worthless.
Even those legendary barbaric races would disdain to use such a weapon.
But this weapon had something that all the weapons in Ceylon couldn't match. It carried the power of thunder!
Waving such a sword was like waving a thunder spell!
Because of this characteristic, in Ceylon, except for divine artifacts, only weapons like Ilia's Dragon Bone Great Sword could be better than these weapons.
So why could these weapons discharge electricity?
In Horn's opinion, there were two possibilities:
One was that the raw materials of these weapons carried strong elemental abilities, which meant that the thunder was inherent in these weapons. The flame - affinity potion that Horn first fed to Li Karl was mixed with similar materials.
The other was that these other - world creatures had a way to add elemental damage to these weapons!
Regarding the first possibility, Horn thought it was a bit unreliable. If it was that kind of material, the thunder power would surely be very restrained. No material could withstand the continuous release of energy all the time. Old Douglas had once taught him that energy was conserved!
And that kind of material was also very expensive, and it was simply too extravagant to use it to make inferior swords.
Of course, if this other world was really that extravagant, then it would be qualified to say that Ceylon was barren.
So Horn asked these Thunderbolt Clan members what he thought was an even more presumptuous question through Annie.
He asked them how these weapons were actually made.
Unexpectedly, Xiaolan didn't think Horn's question was inappropriate at all. Instead, he excitedly described it while gesturing with his hands, and tiny electric currents appeared on his body as if he was very excited.
A qualified warrior of their clan had to kill a special and powerful monster during the coming - of - age ceremony. After killing it, they would engrave the ancestral mark on the stone weapon with the blood of the monster.
Finally, a special ritual would be held in the tribe for sacrifice. After the ritual, this stone weapon would become the exclusive thunder weapon of this warrior!
Horn quickly summarized three key points: the blood of a specific powerful monster, the ancestral rune, and the sacrifice!
Xiaolan was very cooperative with all of Horn's requests because in his opinion, what Horn asked was nothing to hide and was well - known there.
And introducing these weapons to Horn was actually introducing his battle achievements in his opinion, which was showing Horn that he was a qualified warrior!
So when Horn wanted to see the ancestral mark, he happily pointed to the symbol on the blade.
It was a dazzling symbol with a lot of useless decorations, but Horn still found something familiar on it.
One was a special mark similar to the emblem of the North Wind God Church, and the other was a pattern with a circular outer ring and a pentagram inside!
After removing countless useless decorations, it was clearly a magic circle!
Although it was different from the magic circle used for normal spell - casting, there was no doubt that this so - called ancestral rune had a lot in common with the magic circle!
