MTL - Whispering Verse-Chapter 1411 retractable sword
The door opened, and a girl with long curly brown hair came in. She was tall and tall, wearing a white lady's shirt and a lady's black formal uniform, with a pen in her pocket, and a narrow black skirt without any decoration on her lower body. On the feet are high-heeled ladies' black leather shoes.
She looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and her hair was meticulously styled and hung down behind her. Although he looks very young, but the whole person has a very strong sense of maturity.
"You usually call me by my surname directly, so you can call her Haili directly."
Miss Aurora said, motioning for her niece to come over:
"Hayley, this way. Sylvia and Benanis, you have met four or five times before, so I won't introduce you. This is Miss Sirius Lathers, the deputy delegation of the Golden Dawn under the council long."
"Hello."
The young girl bowed in greeting, and Miss Lathers rose hastily to say that she was not so polite.
"This is Miss Luvia Anat, a good friend of ours."
"Hello."
She bowed to Luvia again, and Luvia nodded to her, also very curious about her.
"As for the handsome young gentleman."
Miss Aurora repeats the word "sir," making the ladies on the couch smile:
"He is our... very important person. Yes, the one I mentioned to you repeatedly."
So the young Miss Hayley Aurora wanted to bend down and bow to Xia De again. Because Xia De was closer to her, he stretched out his hand to help her:
"Not so polite."
Miss Hayley Aurora straightened up, but Shad noticed that her ears were completely red. Obviously the whole person looks quite serious and mature, but the blushing appearance is surprisingly interesting.
"Xia De, don't look at how serious she is. In fact, she used to have mild autism and didn't dare to talk to others. That's why I let her get in touch with my business and exercise her social skills."
Miss Aurora smiled and said:
"It's much better now, it's okay to talk to strangers, but I don't know why, as long as I talk to people I know and she doesn't know, I still feel a little nervous. As for dressing like this, it's not because the Aurora family treats the girls It's very strict, and it's not that there is a problem with Little Haili's aesthetics. It's that she doesn't want people to take the initiative to talk to her. When she is at home, she likes to lock herself in the bedroom and hide under the quilt with a book... .”
"aunt!"
The young girl finally couldn't help interrupting her, glanced at Xia De quietly, and then blushed again.
Although Xia De planned in the morning to go home after having lunch at Miss Bernice's manor, in fact, when he said goodbye to the ladies and returned to the basement of his home from the Church of the Forgotten, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon up.
I thought I had to go to Dorothy's apartment on Quill Avenue to pick up Mia. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the basement, I heard the familiar cat's footsteps on the stairs:
"Oh Mia!"
Xia De walked quickly to the entrance hall, facing the stairs, and happily caught the cat that jumped directly at him from the stairs with open arms. Mia enthusiastically "bumped" into Xia De's chest, and then meowed to express her dissatisfaction.
"We'll be here after breakfast."
Dorothy's voice appeared at the corner of the upper staircase:
"Fortunately, you have let it spend the night with me before, so it is quite honest. But since lunch, it has become a little depressed."
The blonde girl also walked downstairs quickly, and looked at Xia De with concern in her blue eyes:
"Xia De, what happened? In the middle of last night, when Miss Sylvia and Mia knocked on the door downstairs of my apartment, I was terrified."
She gave Shad a hug, and went upstairs with Shad, who was holding the cat.
Xia De didn't tell a lie. After sitting down on the sofa, he told the story that in order to fight against a powerful enemy, he drank some unknown liquid, which caused him to have a fever all night.
Because Dorothy didn't know that Shad was actually confronting the Shadow, she was less worried about it than the ladies of Randall's Vale. However, she also wondered how Xia De, who had such a strong physical fitness, suddenly developed a fever, and the fever subsided so quickly.
Because I can't figure it out, in the end it can only be attributed to Xia De being under some unknown curse.
Dorothy was glad that Shad had no intention of going to Randall's Valley today. She spent the whole day writing in the study on the second floor, and when Xia De came back, she wanted to go out with him for a walk.
And Xia De happened to have something to go to the Church of the Dawn to find Priest Augustus, and Dorothy happened to be able to accompany him. Of course, I haven't seen Xia De's cat all day, as if I was worried that I would not see Xia De for a long time, so this time I insisted on going out with him.
Xia De felt that he already knew how to make the cat motivated to go out.
Unlike Randall Valley, where the entire city is now in turmoil and a little panic, Tobesk has been peaceful and peaceful since the beginning of this year. It is even said that the crime rate has dropped so much that Shade The business done since 1854 has been less than double digits.
There were not many people in the Dawn Church on Wednesday afternoon, and Priest Augustus had nothing to do at this time. Hearing that Xia De came to him, he knew what Xia De was here for.
So he took a temporary leave of absence from the church, and then left Dawn Square with Shad and Dorothy, and came to his potion workshop in the basement on the street facing the Dawn Church.
"Speaking of which, Priest, Luvia and I went to the local Dawn Church in the Randall Valley, and inquired about Father Murphys you mentioned."
When Priest Augustus took out the key to open the door, Shad explained to Dorothy that Priest Augustus had lost 10 pence in a bet.
The priest asked curiously:
"Have you seen him? After returning to us from a business trip in the Randall Valley when he was young, it was really inconvenient to send letters because of the long distance, and we had very little contact. How is Murphys' health? How are you? You don't want to give me bad news, do you?"
He was even a little worried.
"We haven't seen him, but that Father Murphys is fine now, and he has become the local bishop."
The three of them entered the basement with the smell of special potions together, and the priest was a little surprised:
"They've all become bishops? That's really good."
"At that time, he went to the hospital to visit patients, and the local plague was raging, so Luvia and I didn't see him. I may be busy for a while, but I will visit him again."
Xia De said, and Dorothy asked curiously:
"Priest, you still bet with others? What did you bet? Can you tell me?"
"Why are you all curious about this?"
The priest said dissatisfiedly:
"It's not a big deal, it's just a joking bet among friends. Otherwise, even if the shipping cost exceeds 10 shillings, I would have sent the 10 pence."
He was about to speak, but changed his mind:
"Young people, excessive curiosity is not a good thing. I want to teach you a lesson this time, so I won't say it, let Xia De find out by himself. When Xia De really inquires, he knows how boring it is. , and you will regret the energy and time you have wasted on it.”
But when he said that, Xia De and Dorothy became more interested in it.
On Monday last week, Shad obtained an angel's fingerbone from the haunted Watsons Manor. Because of the devil's "teach Oxenfurt" commission, he returned the phalanx to Priest Augustus, and then asked the priest to make a good-looking but useless weapon to cover up Shad's behavior from the devil.
At that time the priest said that it could be completed in a week, but now that Xia De found it, the weapon can naturally be given to him.
"That's it. I'm good at configuring potions, but I'm not good at blacksmithing. This is the shape that I entrusted Old John to help with, and there is also a mechanical design inside."
When Dorothy hugged Mia to observe Priest Augustus' high-temperature calciner, the priest handed the black iron box to Shad.
After Xia De opened it, he saw a dark silver hilt, which was quite metallic in color.
There is a groove engraved in the center of the hilt. In the groove, two finger bones that are familiar but definitely not authentic are embedded in it crosswise. In addition, there is an elderflower pattern on the hilt, which looks quite gorgeous.
"Why only the hilt?"
Xia De asked curiously ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Because it is a mechanical retractable sword, the blade is divided into four sections inside the hilt. "
said the priest, taking it out, slapped the bottom of the hilt, and swung it sharply. With a click~ sound, a section of the sword body sprang out from the end of the hilt, and now this can be regarded as an exaggerated dagger with a large hilt:
"And this is it."
Priest Augustus shook his arm again, and then another part of the sword came out, turning into a dagger; after a third shake, the third part of the sword appeared; after a final shake, it was truly Become a sword. The sword body is a normal steel color, and there are bloodletting grooves in the center on both sides of the sword body, and ancient runes about death and life are written on both sides of the grooves.
While the priest was wielding the long sword, Shad could even see the flashing runes, turning the sword into gold:
The priest said:
"Pure steel sword. Tap the bottom to release the blade. If you want to retract it, press the bottom of the hilt and push the blade back against the ground or wall. You don't have to worry about the four blades being loosely connected, or When fighting, I retract myself. Not only did I use the bonding spell, but in order to prevent the fatigue of the metal at the joint, I also specially refined a special metal curing fluid for treatment. However, you are just pretending to deal with the battle anyway. , so don’t expect it to really play a big role...it can indeed counter undeadness to a certain extent, and it’s no problem to fool your opponent.”
