Seemingly genuinely angry, Hector kept a cold face afterward, and the conversation ended unpleasantly.
Night was also taken aback by his attitude,
For a long while, he reflected and understood a bit of this genuine man's faith, but fell silent.
Recalling the evening light that stained everything in the forest,
The scenes of sparring with Hector.
This Trojan prince,
Never displayed arrogance despite his noble status, if Night, who sought strength but not the title of a hero, was an anomaly in this era,
Then, such a sentimental prince, in ancient Greece, an era mostly filled with heroes who were more like robbers (like Paris), he too was an anomaly.
They truly were kindred spirits...
Night did not correct Hector; there was one thing he got wrong.
He was not the future of Troy,
For Night, Troy was nothing more than a dream.
And for someone who couldn't even solve the basic needs of food and shelter, there was no point in talking about dreams of heroism...
Especially when few heroes had good endings.
In the simulated universe, even in the midst of war, he had Hector as a strong ally,
But in the real world, he still hadn't escaped danger and was still trapped in some dungeon in an unknown world.
When the dream ends, he will inevitably face reality again.
In the end,
Due to this heartfelt but unpleasant midnight conversation,
When Hector returned with a cold face, the accompanying soldiers dared not laugh loudly.
Although they didn't know what had happened, they could sense the atmosphere becoming tense.
They thought this tense atmosphere would continue indefinitely.
...
The next morning,
As they extinguished the campfire and prepared to continue their journey,
Hector suddenly tossed a weapon to Night.
Since it was thrown vertically, it wasn't dangerous, and Night instinctively caught it by the shaft.
Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a long spear emitting a faint golden glow, inscribed with ancient runes,
The cold, radiant light it emitted seemed to chill one's spine.
Merely holding it in his hand, he felt an invisible force flowing into his body, and as the spearhead glinted in the sunlight, it evoked a sense of divinity.
If one had to describe it—it was 'divine.'
"This is?!!!"
Night immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this spear,
And upon closer examination,
A strong sense of familiarity arose: ...!
This was the weapon Hector always used.
Indeed,
It was Hector's spear.
He had seen him wielding it on the battlefield,
The sight of Hector fighting with the golden spear was dazzling and powerful, powerful and awe-inspiring, inspiring a desire to achieve such unparalleled strength on the battlefield.
The spear's material was not simple; during Hector's demonstration of the throwing technique, it had shattered many trees and created waves of earth without sustaining any damage;
If it were an ordinary weapon, even one forged with modern technology, the hardest synthetic metals,
It couldn't have remained unscathed after such a magnificent strike.
Hector said, "It's for you...
Since you don't want me to save you, then strive to survive on your own strength.
Until you find a weapon that suits you, use this one for now.
A strong warrior cannot be without a good weapon.
This is forged from divine iron and crescent iron.
It has indestructible power, capable of easily breaking through walls and gates.
Its attack power is extremely formidable and it's not something an ordinary person can control.
You can hold it, but that doesn't mean you can wield it.
When you can fully harness the power within the spear,
It can become a godly weapon that kills with one strike, penetrating any enemy armor.
As for a name, it has never been named since its forging.
If you want to call it something, why not call it Hector's Spear!"
Night was shocked, utterly astonished: "Divine Spear—Hector?!!
Are you crazy, giving me your weapon?
What will you do?"
Upon hearing Hector's words, his mind was also filled with information about this weapon.
This spear was far from as simple as Hector described...
Though his description of its power was spot on, this spear was no ordinary weapon.
In fact—a weapon is only as renowned as its wielder!
Tracing back to ancient mythology—there are ten legendary spears recorded in "The Iliad."
What kind of weapons are ranked alongside Hector's divine spear?
For instance, there's the spear of Caeneus, wielded by the son of Hercules.
Other spear wielders are mostly children of gods,
Or Titan descendants.
All of them are demigods or Titan offspring.
In a certain game universe or parallel world, it is also known as the "Unbreakable Spear"—a noble phantasm,
Named Durindana, the prototype of one of the future three holy swords, Durandal.
In fact, some legends say Durandal was originally Hector's sword.
And now—Hector, standing before Night, patted the sword at his waist,
Indifferently saying, "This is enough for me...
Though it's not as handy as a spear in battle, as a commander holding the rear lines, I won't face too many enemies,
Having this Durindana of the same material as the divine spear is sufficient."
Durandal…!!!
The Eternal Blade, the Everlasting Sword!!
It truly exists.
Upon closer inspection, the sword's material and appearance indeed matched the spear in his hand.
Similarly sacred, of the highest quality.
Night's emotions were complex,
Witnessing a legendary divine spear and holy sword was shocking, and he was deeply moved by Hector's gift.
As he gripped the divine spear, he felt its immense weight...
"If I said I wasn't interested in the divine spear, I'd be lying.
But—"
He couldn't understand why Hector was so generous to him,
Even giving away such a divine spear, claiming it was just for temporary use until Night found his own weapon…
Was he not worried that he might keep it forever?
How was this different from outright gifting it?
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I trust your integrity.
Also, it's a mark of respect for your warrior's honor.
Since you refuse to rely on my help, then survive on your own strength,
And reach the pinnacle..."
"Let this spear, named after me, accompany you on your journey. You need a good weapon more than I do to achieve further growth," Hector said.
He couldn't help Night bathe in dragon blood, nor could he bestow divine blessings upon him. But as a friend, the only thing Hector could offer was this gift.
This is the only gift I can give you.
