"How many years has it been? It's time for the Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master to take over again!"
Hearing Liu Lei's words, Guhan's heart began to tremble violently. What did that mean?
What did it mean that it was time for the Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master to take over again?
An unrealistic thought suddenly popped into Guhan's mind.
"Master, I don't understand what you mean," Guhan said faintly.
"Hmph, my precious disciple is so smart. How can he not understand what I mean?"
Liu Lei joked. "Master is now the chairman of the Sword Committee and the Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master. This is too tiring for your master. Yuzhang City doesn't give you two salaries."
"Master …" Guhan didn't know what to say. He had roughly guessed what Liu Lei meant.
"Good disciple, I've decided that from now on, I will officially step down as the 25th Sword Pavilion Master of Yuzhang City. The heavy responsibility of the 26th Sword Pavilion Master will be handed over to you. Are you willing?" Liu Lei's voice was calm and serious, without a trace of a joke.
"Master … I'm afraid I'm not suitable …" It took a long time for Guhan to digest this news. Was this a joke? Was Master really going to give him the position of Sword Pavilion Master?
"Master, I'm just a sword wielder. How can I take on the heavy responsibility of Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion Master?"
"Why not? Our Sword Pavilion Master is different from the chairman of the Sword Committee."
Liu Lei smiled. "The chairman of the Sword Committee has to be one of the strongest people in Yuzhang City. There's still some election.
However, in the Sword Pavilion, the Pavilion Master's word is law. Whoever the Pavilion Master says will be the successor of the Sword Pavilion. As long as I am willing, even an ancient sword wielder can become the Sword Pavilion Master. "
What Liu Lei said was true. Unlike the elected chairman of the Sword Committee, the inheritance of the Sword Pavilion Master was more like a master-disciple relationship. It had always been the previous Sword Pavilion Master who appointed his position to a certain sword-bearer … This sword-bearer did not have to be the disciple of the Sword Pavilion Master. As long as it was a sword-bearer who belonged to the city, it could be appointed as the Sword Pavilion Master.
This was a rule that had been passed down since Kenzu founded Yan Jing City. No one knew what Kenzu was thinking at that time. Why did he let the Sword Pavilion Master appoint his successor? Wasn't he afraid that the Sword Pavilion would become the exclusive property of a certain family?
But to everyone's surprise, after a thousand years, the Sword Pavilion in the eight base cities had never had a Master of the Sword Pavilion. Some of the Sword Pavilion Masters were passed on to their sons, but that was because the sons were too weak and the Sword Pavilion Masters were not passed on to their children. The Sword Pavilion Masters could only be passed on to three generations at most. Some of the Sword Pavilion Masters were not very capable, but that person managed the Sword Pavilion well and never made any mistakes. Some of the Sword Pavilion Masters were passed on to sword bearers with bad reputations. But history proved that the sword bearers became the mainstay of the Sword Pavilion and led the Sword Pavilion through one crisis after another.
All in all, the unique inheritance rule of the Sword Pavilion had lasted for a thousand years. Liu Lei was also directly appointed as the successor by the previous Sword Pavilion Master.
Gu Han was aware of this; he also knew that the succession of the Sword Pavilion was not restricted to one style, and that the succession of the Sword Pavilion Master didn't need to go through a vote or something like that; he also knew that there had been many shocking things in the history of the Sword Pavilion Master's succession … However, nothing like this had ever happened in the past thousand years, where the Sword Pavilion Master's succession was directly passed down to a sword-bearer at the famed sword level. That was the lowest record. If Gu Han were to take over the Sword Pavilion Master's succession, it would mean that Gu Han had broken the record of the lowest rank for a Sword Pavilion Master and become the Sword Pavilion Master with the lowest rank in history.
"But Master, there are still many sword-bearers at the Spirit Sword Level in Yuzhang City. If I take over the Sword Pavilion Master, I'm afraid that the seniors will …" Guhan continued to refuse.
"How dare they!"
Liu Lei snorted coldly. "Now I am the only Immortal Sword Level sword-bearer in Yuzhang City. When they reach my level, then they can talk to me."
However, after saying this tough word, Liu Lei's tone softened a little. "Of course, I also know that it is too hasty to pass the position to you now. You will be under great pressure in the future. I originally planned to wait until you become a sword-bearer at the Famous Sword Level, and then pass the position to you at the right time.
But now I have no other choice. Only when you officially become the Sword Pavilion Master can you break through all the blockades in the refuge center, activate the refuge system, and save the poor people in Yuzhang City. This is the current situation, and you are also trying to save millions of people. I believe that those seniors will not say anything to you! "
"But, Master, is it enough to just give the title of Sword Pavilion Master to me?
Could it be that his disciple would be able to break the code with an additional title?
No matter how I think about it, it is impossible! "Guhan said doubtfully.
"Yes, of course it is not just a verbal statement. There needs to be a procedure!"
On the other end of the communication, Liu Lei pressed a yellow button on his personal terminal. Suddenly, Guhan heard a cute loli voice in the communication between him and Liu Lei.
"Hellow, long time no see, Master Liu Lei.
Yuzhang City's quantum network has been restored. It seems that you have recovered Yuzhang City. Tomono Kakaze, congratulations! "
The speaker was actually Tomono Kakaze, the core intelligence of humanity's ultimate artificial intelligence, the BAT system … But thinking about it, it was not surprising that Tomono Kakaze would appear here. After all, normal communication was through Tomono Kakaze's quantum network.
"Grandma Zhinai, don't make fun of me … You have regained control of Yuzhang City. Don't you know how terrible Yuzhang City is?"
Liu Lei said with a bitter smile. But Liu Lei, a white-haired old man, actually called Tomono Kakaze grandma … When Guhan thought of Tomono Kakaze's loli appearance in "Sword Maiden Online," he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
But this was not strange. In terms of age, Tomono Kakaze was almost 500 years old. She was more than old enough to be Liu Lei's grandma.
In fact, all humans, including Jiandi, had to respectfully call Tomono Kakaze grandma when they saw her.
"I really don't know. The power has been cut off. I have lost control of 95% of the cameras. I can't monitor the situation in Yuzhang City," Tomono Kakaze said cutely. "By the way, why did you suddenly call me over?
Aren't you busy commanding the battle? Why did you call me? "
"Grandma Zhinai, Liu Lei is going to hand over the position of Yuzhang Sword Pavilion's master to Yuzhang City's sword-bearer, Guhan. I called you here to hold the transfer of authority!" Liu Lei said word by word.
"Pfft …" Even if Tomono Kakaze was an electronic life, Guhan could imagine her spitting out a mouthful of milk on the other end of the communication line.
"Liu Lei, are you kidding?
Say it again. What do you want?
Who are you going to give the position of Sword Pavilion's master to? "
"I know very well. I want to give the position to Yuzhang City's sword-bearer, Citizen Guhan!!!" Liu Lei repeated again.
"Good!
I understand. Yuzhang City is full of strange things! "
Tomono Kakaze stuck out her tongue. "But isn't the transfer of authority a little too hasty? According to the rules, you have to submit at least five written applications!"
"Grandma Zhinai, Yuzhang City is in deep trouble now. Everyone is waiting for the shelter to open to save their lives. Where can I find written applications for you?" Liu Lei said angrily.
"But if I don't have written applications, it's equivalent to violating the core rules. If those people in white coats find out, I'll be in a lot of trouble!"
The people in white coats that Tomono Kakaze mentioned were the researchers in charge of monitoring her operations. They could press a nuclear bomb at any time and perish together with Tomono Kakaze.
"Don't worry. After the battle in Yuzhang City is over, I will call the Intelligence Research Institute to explain everything to you," Liu Lei said.
"Okay!
For the sake of these poor people in Yuzhang City, I'll help you this once. I'll transfer your authority … Okay, the authority transfer is complete! "
The entire transfer of authority took less than a second. Wasn't it a little too fast? Shouldn't there be some kind of ceremony or background music to lighten the mood?
"Sigh, I've lived for hundreds of years. I can't believe there's something I haven't seen before …" Tomono Kakaze mumbled and disappeared from the communication channel. Liu Lei then said, "Good disciple, now all the authority of the Sword Tower Master has been transferred to you. All you have to do is select the system reset button at the bottom of the screen and place your finger on the blood collection device. You'll be able to control the entire shelter system!"
"Yes, Master!"
Guhan followed Liu Lei's instructions and entered the reset program. The glass cover on the blood collection device opened automatically. Guhan placed his finger on the blood collection device and felt his fingertip being pricked by the needle. Bright red blood was collected by the blood collection device.
"Testing blood DNA. Progress: 20% -60% -100%." A series of prompts appeared on the screen.
"DNA test completed. Citizen number: 666103298311112461785419, sword level sword wielder Mr. Guhan. Sorry, your identity does not meet the reset requirements. Comparing with the database for the second time."
"An anomaly has been detected, your identity information has been changed. Welcome, Citizen ID: 666103298311112461785419, Sword Grade Sword Wielder, Sword Pavilion Master Gu Han, your identity has met the reset limit, the system has begun to reset."
"System reset complete. All passwords and iris passwords have been reset. You can now set new passwords or immediately activate all the functions of the system. Please select your mission."
Guhan chose to activate the system function without hesitation. He found the button to activate the shelter system and pressed it heavily.
