  Chapter 99 Dawn (Eighth)

   "Not enough money?"

  Natalie was surprised. Perhaps in her opinion, such a big castle should be full of gold.

  Why is there not even enough war reparations to pay?

  The manager Alf said weakly: "Yes, miss, there is still a gap of nearly 70,000 golden dragons..."

  Natalie blinked her eyes, and looked at Samwell again as if asking for help.

  Samwell coughed lightly, and said solemnly:

   "In this case, I owe my share first, and you pay all the war indemnities of the rest of the companies first."

   "Thank you very much, Sir Caesar!"

   "You're welcome." Samwell patted the girl's shoulder lightly, "I promised your mother that I would treat you like my own sister, so what a small favor."

  Natalie didn't know what to think of, a blush appeared on her face.

   Immediately, she asked again: "Then, how should I repay the money I owe you?"

"Don't worry about this." Samwell took out another roll of parchment from his arms, and said, "I have already drawn up a repayment contract for a period of 30 years, and the interest rate is not high, only 9% , you can pay back slowly.”

  Natalie didn’t know what the interest rate was, but she nodded happily when she heard that it could be repaid slowly:

   "Yes, Sir Caesar, you are really thoughtful."

   Alf on the side started rolling his eyes again.

"Come on, sign it if you have no objection." Samwell took out the quill pen he had prepared earlier and handed it to Natalie, "Sign here. Oh, by the way, the arrears need mortgage Of course, you can rest assured that as long as Starfall City repays the loan on time, the collateral will be returned to you, and only if you can’t exchange the money, the collateral will belong to me to make up for my loss.”

   "Oh." Natalie thought this was reasonable, and asked, "Then what kind of collateral do you want?"

  Samwell smiled: "Dawn."

   "Dawn?" Natalie was confused.

  Alf ​​on the side jumped up: "No! Miss, Dawn is the sword that has been passed down for thousands of years in Starfall City! It is the highest honor guarded by the Dane family for generations! How can it be handed over to outsiders!"

   "Dawn is a sword." Natalie finally understood.

Seeing the girl's disapproving look, Alf was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but before he explained to Natalie the meaning and great value of the [Dawn] sword, he found that his shoulder was being held by a big hand. Living.

  It was so powerful that it almost crushed his bones.

"Mr. Alf, you are making too much of a fuss." Samwell said with a smile, "I don't really want to take [Dawn], I just keep it as collateral temporarily. When Starfall City pays off the money in the future, this sword It will naturally return to its original owner.”

   "Yes, yes." Natalie kept nodding, "It's just a sword, Sir Caesar, if you think it's appropriate, you can take it as collateral."

  Just a sword?

   Alf screamed in his heart, this is the sword on the coat of arms of the Dane family!

   But he didn't dare to make a sound at this time, otherwise, the big hand on his shoulder might really crush his bones directly.

  After Natalie finished signing the contract, Samwell released Alf with a smile and said:

   "Okay, then you settle the war indemnities of several other companies here first, and I will go to see [Liming]."

   "I'll go with you too." Natalie followed curiously.

  Passing by Allerken Florent, he quietly gave his nephew a thumbs up.

  Samwell smiled back, thinking that his uncle must have been moved by his humility and kindness.

  Leaving the warehouse, Samwell headed to the west corner of the castle under the leadership of a servant.

  Natalie followed all the way, chattering non-stop, as if she had said all the things she had been holding back before.

   While looking at the scenery in the castle, Samwell casually comforted the panicked and excited girl.

   Not long after, they came to a cliff facing the sea.

  On the steep rock, a pure white tower stands abruptly.

   "Master, Miss, this is the White Stone Sword Tower."

  Samwell nodded and led Natalie towards the sword tower.

  There were four guards guarding outside the sword tower. After seeing Samwell and Natalie, they all bowed and saluted.

  The tower has seven floors and is made of white glazed rock, but in the eyes of Samwell, who has seen the towering tower, it can only be regarded as small and exquisite.

   After entering the sword tower, the two climbed up the stone steps.

  The first six floors are empty, nothing.

  Up to the top floor, Samwell saw the long-known giant sword [Dawn] at a glance.

  It was inserted into a huge rock, almost as tall as a person. The wide and thick sword body was like milky white glass, reflecting a strange luster under the sunlight.

   According to legend, this sword is forged from the stars and meteorites that fell here, and it is extremely sharp.

  Different from the inherited swords of other families, [Dawn] does not have to be passed on to the head of the family, but to the knights in the clan who are qualified, or have the ability to pull it out of the stone.

  For thousands of years, it has been wielded by many great knights of the Dane family, and these knights all have a unified title——

   "Dawn Excalibur".

  The previous "Dawn Excalibur" was Ashara Dayne's brother, Arthur Dayne.

In the War of the Snatchers, this is said to be the greatest knight in the history of Westeros and died in battle under the Tower of Joy. The giant sword [Dawn] also returned to the Dane family, waiting quietly for the next one. "Dawn Excalibur" came to wake it up.

  When reading the original work in the previous life, Samwell once had a suspicion——

  Is this giant sword [Dawn] the [Lightbringer] that belonged to the reincarnation of Azor Ahai in the prophecy of the gods?

  After all, the names of these two swords have similar meanings, and it is too easy to be linked together. Moreover, the battle where the ancient hero Azor Ahai led his army to repel the White Walkers happened to be called the War of Dawn.

   The Dane family has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and it is very likely that they participated in that ancient battle.

   Could it be that they brought the hero's sword [Lightbringer] back to Starfall City?

  As for the difference in names, it may be due to the evolution of the language, or it may be that the Dane family changed their names.

  However, the [Lightbringer] was a burning sword, but this [Dawn] has no flame.

   "It's so beautiful!" Natalie couldn't help muttering as she looked at the giant sword in front of her.

  Samwell also put away his thoughts and came to the giant rock.

  He took a deep breath and was about to draw his sword when he heard an old voice:

   "Be careful, young man, not everyone is qualified to pull out [Dawn]."

  Samwell turned his head, only to find that there was actually an old knight here. Their eyes were attracted by the sword just now, and they didn't notice this person.

  He smiled: "How do you know I'm not qualified?"

  The old knight also smiled: "Do you know why the inherited swords of other families can be considered very long if they have a history of hundreds of years?"

  Seeing that the old knight had a good attitude and did not force himself to stop himself, Samwell patiently chatted with him a few more words: "After all, a sword is a weapon, and it is easy to be damaged and lost. It is really not easy to pass it on for a long time."

   "That's right." The old knight nodded, "Then do you know why [Dawn] has been passed down in the Dane family for thousands of years, but has never been lost?"

  Samwell seemed to realize something: "Could it be that other than your Dane family, other people can't use it?"

"That's right." The old knight looked at the huge sword, as if he was looking at the goddess in his heart, "She is a living sword, and those who are not qualified to own her will find it extremely difficult to wield this sword, let alone be able to lift her from the stone." Pulled out from the middle. Countless knights who thought they were strong had tried it, but none of them could shake her."

  Samwell frowned: "Hehe, then I'll give it a try, maybe she likes me."

  The old knight chuckled, and stopped trying to dissuade him, as if he was waiting to see Samwell's joke.

  Samwell settled down again, took a deep breath, and held the hilt of the sword with both hands.

   Woo—

  The sea breeze suddenly became manic, shouting like a loud horn.

  Samwell really felt the resistance, the sword was resisting itself!

   She doesn't want to be pulled out by herself!

   But he insisted on pulling it out.

   "Ah—" Samwell let out a roar, his face flushed red.

  The enormous power caused the huge rock under the sword to shake, and even the entire sword tower began to tremble slightly.

   Woo—

  The sea breeze became more violent and the air became hotter.

  Natalie had already shrunk to the corner of the wall, trembling, but the old knight stared wide-eyed.

  Because he was surprised to see that red and gold stripes appeared on the pale sword, like a spell from ancient times, exuding a chilling aura.

   "Give it to me!"

  Samwell roared again.

  Muscles all over his body began to twitch, as if they were about to be overwhelmed and rupture in the next second.

  His eyes became bloodshot, his face was extremely hideous, and his big mouth seemed to spew out fire.

   Almost reaching the limit...

  He hesitated to give up.

  But at this moment, the huge sword stuck in the crack of the stone shook!

   Chi—

   Before Samwell could be happy, he suddenly realized that the power in his body was rapidly draining—

   Flow to this giant sword!

  There are more and more red-gold lines on the pale sword body, and the red light is constantly shining, as if something sleeping is waking up.

  Boom!

  Samwell pulled out the giant sword [Dawn] abruptly, and the blade, which was as pale as glass, was now flushed red, like a burning flame.

  The old knight showed a ghost-like expression, and murmured indistinct words.

   Words such as "stars weep blood" and "burning red sword" can be vaguely heard.

  Samwell held up the giant sword [Dawn], and violent and hot energy surrounded him.

  At this moment, he seemed to be fire, light, and the sun tearing apart all darkness!

  But the next moment, the sun seemed to burn out all its brilliance, and it turned dim in an instant.

  Samwell also slammed and fell on his back.
