Chapter 4 The Excluded

(Everyone, slow me down, this will be a brand new story, the similarity or something is all an illusion)

This is a small and inconspicuous island on the Great Voyage, called Askar Island.

The people of the island are simple, kind, and hardworking, and should have lived a relatively prosperous and peaceful life.

But in reality, this is not the case, because of a rumor that has never been confirmed, the pirates who visit this small island are almost continuous, and they have brought great disasters to the people of the island.

The houses on the island are lined up to ward off pirates who may attack at any time, but if you look at it from above, you can see a treehouse nestled in the forest, which doesn't fit in with the overall atmosphere of the island.

At this time, several thin figures appeared under the big tree, pushing and pushing over, as if no one wanted to approach, and finally, an older child mustered up the courage to shout at the tree house:

"Alan, the High Priest is looking for you!"

There was a sound of walking in the silent forest, and a handsome little Shota poked his head out of the tree house, and in an instant, the bear children under the house dispersed as birds and beasts, leaving only a panicked and frightened sound wandering in the forest.

"Run! The monster is out! ”

"He saw me, it's over, he must know about me stealing beast meat!"

"You guy, it's too much to steal animal meat...... Don't call me this kind of thing! ”

Allen's little face was very calm, and he seemed to have long been accustomed to the fear and rejection of others, but he would only say to the tree house: "Brother is going out, you have to be obedient at home alone!"

A little girl in the room poked her head out and said sweetly: "Brother, Demi won't run around, Demi is the most well-behaved!"

Alan relieved himself, closed the doors and windows, and jumped directly from the nearly ten-meter-high treehouse.

It didn't take long for Alan to arrive at the temple in the village, and the high priest on crutches appeared at the right time, looking old and goosebumps.

"Alan, I came to you this time because I have a matter of life and death in the clan that concerns your help." The high priest said with a look of shame.

"High priest, don't say that, just tell me anything directly." Allen's little face was full of seriousness.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the High Priest's eyes, but he quickly remembered something, and his gaze became firm again.

"It all started thousands of years ago, Alan, do you know that legend, the legend of the cursed holy sword."

"I know, I've heard that those pirates keep coming to the island because of this ethereal legend." Although he didn't know why the high priest brought this up, Alan replied very seriously.

"Is it ethereal? That's not just a rumor, it's true! ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Alan's small face was full of shock.

"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a full red moon came to us on the island of Askar, and our ancestors believed that the red moon, which represents blood and evil, would bring disaster and misfortune, so the red moon is also called the ominous moon!"

"So, the gods of Askar, in order to protect the people from the invasion of disasters and mutations, gave King Askar three precious stones as shields and a seven-star sword as a spear."

"It's a pity that in the long years of change, the Seven Star Sword has gradually been contaminated with darkness and ominous, and has become a cursed holy sword, and the mission of our clan is to protect and suppress it, to prevent the Seven Star Sword from being used by those unscrupulous people in the outside world, and also to prevent the darkness of the Seven Star Sword from invading the world."

Alan didn't know why, waiting for the high priest's explanation.

"Every hundred years, when the red moon falls, it is the moment when the power of the seal is the weakest, and it needs to be resealed with the blood of the witch and the three precious stones. However, the next generation of shrine maidens has not yet grown up, and I am already too old to complete the seal, and once the Seven Star Sword is born, this sea will be shrouded in darkness! ”

"So, you mean ......" Alan said in a low tone, as if he had guessed what the high priest meant.

"Only by offering the most perfect sacrifice to the gods can you appease the wrath of the gods and make the seal of the Seven Star Sword reinforced, and your talent ...... It can almost be said that he is a godsend! ”

Eren is kind, kind enough to give up his life for the sake of the villagers who reject and fear him, but he can't die, and if he does, who will take care of his young sister?

Due to the invasion of pirates, life on the island has been difficult, and no one will want to bear the burden of an extra mouth, and it is because of this that the precocious Alan will show his worth, just to get the rations that belong to his sister from the village.

As if seeing Allen's hesitation, the old voice of the high priest came out: "You don't have to worry about Demy's affairs, as compensation, I have contacted a great noble couple who have no offspring, they are happy to adopt Demy, after you leave, Demi will live better than everyone else."

This sentence undoubtedly touched Allen's heartstrings, although he didn't mind the strange eyes of others, but he never wanted Demi to have the same experience, he hoped that Demi could live a dreamy life of eating well and sleeping warmly every day.

"High Priest, I promise you!"

"Good boy, it's just that I'm bitter for you!"

……

The High Priest's promise was soon fulfilled, and although Demi's heart-rending cry made Alan stop his steps for a while, he finally left without looking back, Demi is still young, and in a few years, he may be able to forget his incompetent brother and live the life that everyone dreams of!

……

The scarlet moonlight was about to envelop the earth, and Eren followed in the footsteps of the High Priest into the temple, everything around him exuded the vicissitudes of life, as if he had stepped out of an ancient time and space.

On the ground floor of the temple was a rudimentary sarcophagus, and the ground was a six-pointed star array outlined in blood, and Alan stood in the center of the six-pointed star array, and after the high priest told Alan not to run around, he fled as if he had died.

Although the surrounding environment was bloody and weird, Alan was not afraid in his heart, but looked around curiously.

Suddenly, a soft sound sounded in the dark room of the dead silence, as if the acquaintances in the forest were singing happily, and a little black mist seeped into the body from the pores of the skin, and a bewitching voice sounded in Ed's heart.

"Go...... Open the sarcophagus, pick up the Excalibur, and you will have supreme power! ”

Seeing that Alan was unmoved, the black mist continued to increase the chips.

“…… Power, wealth, fame...... Just pick up that sword and everything will follow! ”

However, Alan only muttered, "Is this the test of the gods?" It doesn't seem that difficult? ”

The trembling sword body of the Seven Star Sword stopped, it did not have a complete consciousness, but it had a faint spiritual sense like most demon swords, of course, its spiritual sense was definitely not comparable to the three generations of ghosts.

At this moment, if the Seven Star Sword had wisdom, it would definitely be very strange, how could someone have a pure heart and not the slightest darkness?
