Chapter 116
Liv followed Viscount Wolfe alone. The place he guided her to was the basement, and the corridor leading to the basement was so intricate and grand that it was hard to believe such a space existed in this small castle. As soon as he opened the door to the basement, which was equally delicately decorated, Liv sensed that something extraordinary was inside.
‘Divine aura...’
The basement was filled with a thick divine aura. It was so vast that it was difficult to breathe. Even ordinary people who couldn’t sense divine aura would notice that this place was no ordinary location.
“Lady Gracia, do you know the legend of Julius, the first Emperor of the Garcia Empire?”
“Yes, I know.”
In the Garcia Empire, which existed before the Holy Hilysid Empire, there was a legend that the first Emperor Julius obtained the holy sword Virnatus and founded the Empire. It wasn’t just a legend. In the Garcia Empire, there was Beatrice, the Emperor’s daughter born through a maid’s womb, who also obtained the holy sword Virnatus and became Emperor. There were thousands of witnesses who had directly seen that sword.
“Similarly, the Gracia family has a holy sword passed down through generations. It’s the holy sword obtained by the first Emperor Feyte Gracia.”
Liv knew about that legend too. It is said that the first Emperor Feyte Gracia stuck a sword in the ground to end the conflict with the Kingdom of Reboer, and the land rose and trees sprouted instantly, becoming the border.
The only thing placed inside the basement was a jet-black altar in the center. A cloth covering the altar concealed the object placed on it. Viscount Wolfe pulled the cloth and said:
“This is Emperor Feyte Gracia’s sword, the holy sword Ibisikaite.”
“This is...”
Liv’s eyes widened as she saw the sword. The holy sword Ibisikaite had a different form than what Liv had imagined.
