William is the son of a blacksmith. For old William, a blacksmith, his son is an important labor force in the family, and it is free.
Therefore, it is natural to exercise in the furnace and anvil. If you want to be a blacksmith, a strong body is indispensable, and William's seemingly thin body actually has quite good physical strength and considerable strength. Second only to Hans, the knight's son.
While walking on the road, the howls of wolves were heard from time to time in the forest. After drinking water from the kettle and biting into a piece of black bread that was so hard that it could break his teeth, William gradually regained his strength. At this time, he couldn't care less about rest. Walking desperately, running away, spending the night in the forest is tantamount to suicide.
Although William has a lucky gold coin in his hand, the power of the lucky gold coin is limited after all.
He spent the night in the forest (suicide), and not even gods could save him, let alone lucky gold coins.
"The lucky gold coins seem to be more mottled than before."
William looked at the mottled lucky gold coin in his hand, with a solemn and thoughtful expression on his face.
According to legend, the lucky gold coin presented by the dwarf was as if it had just been made by the Mint. It was so new and beautiful. The gold coin was like a gold coin from the human kingdom, with a profile picture of a crowned head on it.
The gold coin in his hand could only be vaguely distinguished except for the crown. The king's face had long been blurred and it looked quite badly ground.
Theoretically speaking, when gold coins circulate in the market, no matter how well-made they are and how conscientious their gold content is, it is inevitable that their quality will wear out during constant circulation and use. However, the dwarf's lucky gold coins are not ordinary gold coins made by the Imperial Mint. It contains magic power and can resist the damage caused to gold coins by the passage of time.
Obviously it didn't look like this just now, why was it so badly worn? If it continues like this, it might even be worn out.
William pondered in his heart, and then felt tremendous pressure.
There is only one reason why gold coins can wear out and become shabby, and that is the huge consumption of magic power in gold coins, so gold coins also become shabby with the loss of magic power.
The lucky magic power of the lucky gold coin is constantly being consumed, which means that he is now in crisis and misfortune. In order to fight against this misfortune, the lucky gold coin is constantly overdrawing his power to keep him in a lucky state. If it continues to be in a state of consumption, and continues If it goes down, the gold coins will lose all their magic power and become ordinary stones.
Why are you in danger?
William thought of this and walked faster. I am just a lucky man who survived the battlefield, why did he encounter misfortune.
Is it a beast in the forest?
No, it can't be a wild beast. Wherever the dragon appears, both lions and tigers have to stay away. Even wolves have to wait for the dragon's breath to dissipate before they dare to move forward.
Puppies mark their territory by peeing, which is actually meaningless to truly powerful beasts. Lions and tigers can determine their territory as long as they stay there, and all beasts will retreat when a dragon passes by.
Therefore, your own crisis does not lie with the beasts, but with humans themselves. Only humans can cause crises to themselves.
Why would any human want to deal with me?
Is it a lucky gold coin?
However, if you forcibly take away the blessing from the elves, you will be disgusted by the elves and receive a curse.
It's the Holy Sword!
William was alert, and suddenly understood why the lucky gold coin was overdrawn.
A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.
William himself was a freeman under the territory of a baron, and his father was just a blacksmith. Although he had the skills of a blacksmith and was considered a high-level talent, this status was not enough to protect him.
What he holds in his hand is the holy sword of the brave, which symbolizes the pinnacle of power in this world. It is said to be a secret treasure given to the world by gods through angels.
If you are a grand duke, a prince of a king, or an earl or viscount with real power, or at least a powerful warrior who has completed the brave certification and has meritorious service, then owning the holy sword can fully bear the backlash of owning the holy sword, but you are just an ordinary person people.
Although the political status of free people was higher than that of serfs, if they did not have wealth or force, they were just dough that the powerful could knead at will.
William threw down the holy sword in his hand. The originally mottled and old lucky gold coins were slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although this speed was very slow, it still showed that if he continued to hold the holy sword, the lucky gold coins would probably be consumed. Even if all the magic power turns into stone, it cannot stop the bad luck on his body.

William's heart was like ten thousand horses galloping, and it was exactly what he thought.
The Holy Sword was not something that ordinary people could control from the beginning. If it was not mastered by someone with the qualifications to control it, it would inevitably suffer the backlash of fate if it fell into the hands of others.
When a brave man uses the Holy Sword, he can use the Holy Sword as flexibly as his own hands and feet, making it a part of his body.
William held the Holy Sword in his hand, but he felt that it was a piece of metal, a metal bar that had not been made and shaped in the blacksmith shop.
It's just a piece of iron that hasn't been made to be strong enough.
William is not qualified to use the Holy Sword, so even the Holy Sword that can kill evil dragons is nothing more than a piece of iron in his hands.
Do you choose to throw away the holy sword, choose the lucky gold coin and escape back to the village, or die midway with the holy sword?
"What a cruel choice!"
William thought bitterly in his heart, even though he was a time traveler, he was so vulnerable to the decision of life and death.
Abandoning the holy sword and choosing gold coins can allow you to return to the village safely, but this is just a safe return to the village. The rest of your life will be nothing more than building farm tools for the villagers in the village with your own father, and occasionally Forging weapons, you will spend your whole life forging iron in the furnace, and die mediocre and anonymously in this medieval village.
But if you abandon the gold coins and choose the holy sword, your own crisis may come. Whether to choose a long and dull life in the Middle Ages, or to choose a life of great events, maybe like the unlucky predecessors of the quartet, they will die before their ambitions are fulfilled.
This is a tough choice.
William thought silently, then picked up the holy sword on the ground and started running away.
He had promised Hans to conquer the world, but his predecessor, William, died on the journey to pursue his dream. How could he, a time traveler, be worse than his predecessor?
"William, why do you risk your life to participate in dragon slaying?"
William questioned his predecessor in his heart, and the refusal in his heart emerged in his mind.
If he did not leave the village, William would inherit his father's profession as a blacksmith and stay in the village for life, making farm tools for the baron's subjects and weapons for the baron. When he becomes an adult, he will marry an older man who is older than himself and out of shape under his father's arrangement. But she was a wealthy widow, so that she could expand her family and be eligible to have more children, and then pass on her blacksmithing skills so that her children could continue to work as blacksmiths for the lord in the future.
His predecessor did not want to live such a life, and William never wanted to be ordinary.
This is a magical world with nobles, knights, evil dragons and holy swords. I haven't fully enjoyed this era yet, so how could I give up because of cowardice?
Even if he returns to his own world, he is just an ordinary person, busy in the production line, maybe he can save enough money to open a store of his own, and then that's it.
Worry about your own marriage, marry a not-so-pretty, maybe second-hand girl, and then live together with each other because they dislike each other. Worry about your children's milk powder and school fees. Maybe a sudden serious illness can plunge the whole family into tragedy and chaos. In misfortune.
I don’t want this kind of life, I want to stand out, just like William, Hans, and Hess dreamed and expected.
"Ouch!"
William made up his mind, and suddenly, a wolf howled in the distance, making his expression change.
Just a moment later, several pairs of green, fluorescent eyes appeared not far away.
The wolves appeared.
The light of the lucky gold coin has begun to dim at this time, and it is as old as a stone.
The misfortune brought by the Holy Sword finally overwhelmed the luck of the dwarf gold coins. As expected, the two were not at the same level.
