"This isn't a Gurren Lagann Toppa!"
Shelley sighed, then suddenly perked up, and in an instant her expression became full of momentum, as if she was King Arthur.
"Axe! Curry sticks!" she yelled with all her might.
But perhaps because she was too embarrassed, her face was flushed.
However, no matter how powerful the shouts were or how rosy the faces were, they were all useless.
Nothing has changed.
Masha scratched his head and said, "There's no instruction manual for this magic weapon. Can you British people do it?"
"I am Anglo-Saxon, and this sword may have been made by the Celts. It has nothing to do with me," Shelley shrugged. "The current British royal family is still German. The descendants of King Arthur may have died out long ago."
Masha reached out, took the sword back from Shelley, and observed it carefully.
——This is a difficult problem. This thing is not a means of transportation, and I cannot use the Zaku pendant specially designed for Char that Cai Shi gave me to forcibly seize it.
Chihiro: "Hey, maybe this thing recognizes its master by dripping blood?"
Masha: "No way, it's so clichéd? This kind of joke will make readers abandon the book."
"But we are not characters in novels. And think about it, why are there so many stories about dripping blood to recognize the master? It must have a source. Maybe the magic weapons in the mythological era were dripped with blood to recognize the master, and then it became a folk legend that has been passed down to this day." Qianxun said seriously, "Come on, give it a try, drip blood to recognize the master."
Masha thought about it and realized that he now had an extraordinary physique and could recover so quickly, so it didn’t matter if he bleed a little.
So he took a deep breath and placed his fingers on the blade of the sword.
Then he gritted his teeth.
Cai Shi closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to watch Masha cutting herself.
The League Secretary said: "I have to say, you are a very courageous person. You cut yourself just like that. You can see the bones at this depth, right?"
Masha looked at his hand that had been accidentally cut deep and howled, "How the hell did I know this sword was so sharp? Ouch, it hurts so much! Heal quickly, my body!"
As Masha said this, he put his finger in his mouth, and the rusty taste of blood immediately filled his entire mouth.
Although his fingers were still bleeding, Masha still raised the sword with one hand and pointed it at his subordinates in front of him.
Still no use.
He tried a few more times until his fingers were fully recovered, but he still couldn't fire the light cannon.
Of course, Masha didn't feel any connection between himself and the magic weapon.
I didn't feel it at all.
“I feel like I gave it away for nothing.”
He said.
"I said it's impossible to recognize the master just by dripping blood."
Masha said as he looked at the sword sadly.
"This is really frustrating. I went through so much trouble to get the treasure, but I don't know how to use it."
The sword glows, and there is no rust at all after being thrown at the bottom of the lake for so long, so it must be a treasure.
The most heartbreaking thing is that you get the treasure but cannot use it.
--etc!
Masha suddenly thought of something.
——In the legend of King Arthur, the Sword of the Lake has a scabbard, and the scabbard is more valuable than the sword. The person holding the scabbard will not die...
——Is it because the scabbard is missing that I can’t identify this thing?
——The British only took out the sword. Could it be that the scabbard was still in the water?
"We have to go to Loch Ness."
Masha said.
He opened the door and returned to the world in the car, then drove north, straight to Loch Ness.
**
More than an hour later, Marsha arrived at Loch Ness.
After returning to the real world and establishing a fast travel point, Masha drove his car directly into the lake.
The flatness of the water bottom only lasted for a short distance, and then Masha fell off the cliff and fell into the deep abyss.
——Sure enough, there is an episode in Doraemon about the Loch Ness Monster. It says in it that Loch Ness is a rare deep lake. The lake area is not large, but the water is very deep.
Masha kept falling and it took him a long time to reach the bottom of the water.
There was no light and the entire underwater area was pitch dark.
——Fuck, forget about it.
Looking at the dark bottom of the lake, Masha was in trouble. What should he do?
——Wait a minute, there is a solution!
Masha looked at Baiquan who was sitting next to him in the world in the car.
"Baiquan, you come and turn into the Loch Ness Monster."
"Eh?" Baiquan frowned. "There's no clear photo of the Loch Ness Monster, right? How about I turn into a plesiosaur?"
"That's fine. Remember to make your eyes glow so you can see in the water." Masha reminded.
**
Recently, due to the news of the glow of Loch Ness and the discovery of a sword suspected to be King Arthur, the Loch Ness Monster has become a hot topic again. At nightfall, people who are looking for the monster can be seen camping everywhere on the shore of Loch Ness.
Camping bonfires and various portable light sources dot the shores of Loch Ness.
The first people to discover "that thing" were a couple from a nearby university. The girl screamed when she saw a giraffe-like neck raised in the darkness.
The boy on her immediately turned around and cursed: "Shit, it really came out!"
The boy didn't even bother pulling up his pants. He just reached for his phone and started taking a lot of photos of the thing. Then he sent his first tweet, switched to selfie mode, turned his back to the thing, and smiled at the selfie camera.
The girl also rushed over and squeezed into her boyfriend's selfie frame.
Other people nearby also became agitated at this time.
"It's a water monster!"
"Oh my god! So close!"
"The Loch Ness Monster exists!"
"It's worth it that I have believed it must exist for so many years!"
"Bullshit, you said a few weeks ago that you were out of money so you would forge a photo of a sea monster and cheat that stupid sea monster enthusiast out of his money!"
While everyone was talking, they did not forget to take pictures, and they kept using flash lights to take pictures of the water monster swimming into the lake.

Although the update is late, this chapter is long~
I will write the update for 12 o'clock at night now and update it regularly in the evening.
Chapter 572 Avalon
After Masha dived into the water, he heard Shelley's voice in the headset: "Is it necessary to show up specially? Open the random door in the water, and then let Qianxun use gravity to seal the door to prevent water from coming in. Wouldn't it be possible to enter and exit secretly?"
Masha thought to himself, I did plan to walk directly through the water like this when I go back. I chose to open the door in the shallow water just now only because I found that I couldn’t open the door when I couldn’t see anything underwater.
Now the plesiosaur that Baiquan transformed into gave Masha the ability to see underwater, so he could open the door within the plesiosaur's field of vision.
Just now he looked outside and could not see anything, his vision was zero.
Descriptions and imaginations such as "a pitch-black lake bottom" cannot allow the random door to complete its positioning. This is a fact that Masha just discovered today.
So, Masha was forced into a dilemma.
But Baiquan obviously didn't think so. The second-in-command responded to Shelley on behalf of Masha: "You don't understand? The commander-in-chief is trying to give the British people hope and dreams!"
——Bullshit!
——Speaking of which, after Baiquan’s transformation, why can she continue to speak with her own voice, but I have to be restricted by the transformed form?
——I also want to speak with my own voice in my transformed form!
Masha imagined a plesiosaur in wonderland talking nonstop and felt like laughing.
He kept diving, searching the lake bottom as far as he could see.
-To be honest, although Loch Ness is not large in area, this "not large" is measured by the standards of lakes. In fact, its area is quite considerable. Looking for a scabbard or something at the bottom of the lake is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack, isn't it?
Although this is a lake and the scabbard should be thicker than a needle, Masha began to wonder if his decision was a bit presumptuous.
But since we're here, we might as well dive to the bottom of the lake and take a look.
Masha dived all the way down.
The car had freely fallen about 700 meters to the bottom. Masha estimated that at his current diving speed, he should be able to reach the destination in a few minutes.
Before opening the door to the shallow water area at the lake, Marsha instructed Shelley to report the time every minute.
At this time, Shelley announced the time for the fourth time: "Four minutes, not the end yet?"
Masha looked down.
The bottom of the lake is completely invisible. It looks like a bottomless abyss leading to hell. There is nothing below except endless darkness.
——It seems that the car was lucky enough to land on a protruding rock just now.
Just as he was thinking this, Masha suddenly saw something.
A building inserted horizontally into the side "rock wall".
Masha knew that it was impossible for this thing to block the car. The car only recognized the real ground and not artificial creations.
But he still moved closer to the thing and looked at it carefully.
It looks like a pier jutting out into the abyss...
Masha walked around this thing and observed it carefully. He found that the rock wall did not seem to be completely naturally formed. It seemed that there was a road next to the rock wall.
--No way?
——This scene reminds me of the animation called "Made in Abyss"!
In the anime, if a person walks upward from the abyss, they will receive varying degrees of damage depending on the depth they are in. This is called the Curse of the Abyss.
Masha hurriedly added some depth, but no damage was done.
——Come to think of it, the British divers who came down to look for the sword also returned to the surface of the lake safely.
——But, at this depth, there are actually man-made objects on the rock wall. This Loch Ness is something special.
——Could it be that Avalon is right below?
——Or, the ruins of Avalon?
The British must have organized many expeditions to Loch Ness, but they never discovered what Marsha saw.
Either human equipment is truly incapable of matching the senses of a plesiosaur, or those people simply didn't look for it seriously and just swindled funds and called it a day.
Marsha continued to dive, and when Shelley called the police several times, Marsha still did not see the bottom of the lake.
Masha estimated that his dive depth was more than two thousand meters, and even the underwater vision of the plesiosaur began to become useless - but Masha still had a highly sensitive sonar organ to use.
And he can also choose to "turn on the light" - Baiquan can make a certain part of the plesiosaur glow or make the whole body shine.
The deeper Masha dived, the more guilty he felt. Humans all have some fear of the deep sea. Now Masha felt extremely depressed and a little breathless.
He even began to have auditory hallucinations. A voice kept chanting "fa tang" in his ear.
——I don’t know where the British submersible found the sword. Could it be that they saw the light from the sword and patrolled over?
——Could it be that my diving depth has exceeded the diving depth of the British submersible?
- If you think about it carefully, the British probably don't have the money to bring a deep-sea submersible to Loch Ness in the Scottish mountains for use.
——So it is indeed possible that the sword was found in a relatively shallow place.
