Chapter 1412 Telescopic Sword
The door opened, and a girl with the same long curly brown hair walked in. She was tall, wearing a white women's shirt and a women's black formal uniform. She had a pen in her pocket, and her lower body was black without any decoration. Narrow skirt, high-heeled women's black leather shoes.
She looked to be in her mid-twenties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and her hair was meticulously styled and hung down behind her. Although he looks very young, his whole person has a strong sense of maturity.
"You usually call me by my last name, so just call her Hailey."
Miss Aurora said, motioning for her niece to come over:
"Hailey, this way. Sylvia and Bernice, you have met them four or five times before, so I won't introduce them. This is Miss Sirius Lassus, a member of the Parliament's Golden Dawn ”
"Hello."
The young girl bowed to say hello, and Miss Lassers stood up quickly to express that there was no need to be 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 this handsome young gentleman."
Miss Aurora's repetition of the word "sir" made the ladies on the sofa smile:
"He is a very important person to us. Yes, he is the one I mentioned to you repeatedly."
Then the young Miss Hailey Aurora wanted to bend down and bow to Shade again. Shade was closer to her and reached out to help her:
"Don't be so polite."
Miss Hayley Aurora straightened up, but Shade noticed that her ears were completely red. He obviously looked quite serious and mature, but his blushing look was unexpectedly interesting.
"Xia De, you look so serious. In fact, she used to have mild autism and didn't dare to talk to others. It's because of this that I let her get in touch with my business and practice 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 of the Aurora family. She is very strict with girls, and it’s not because she has a problem with her aesthetics. It’s because she doesn’t want people to talk to her. When she’s at home, she likes to shut herself in the bedroom and huddle under the quilt with a book.”
"Aunt!"
The young girl finally couldn't help interrupting her, glanced at Shade quietly, and then blushed again.
Although Shade had planned to go home after lunch at Miss Benenice's manor in the morning, in fact it was already the afternoon when he said goodbye to the ladies and returned to the basement of his home from the Church of the Forgotten. It's half past two.
I thought I had to go to Dorothy's apartment on Quill Street to pick up little Mia. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the basement, I heard the familiar footsteps of a cat on the stairs:
"Oh, Mia!"
Shad quickly came to the foyer and faced the stairs. He opened his arms and happily caught the cat that jumped towards him from the stairs. Mia "collided" head-on with Shade's chest quite enthusiastically, and then meowed to express her dissatisfaction.
"We'll be here right after breakfast."
Dorothy’s voice appeared at the corner of the high stairs:
"Fortunately, you have let it sleep at my place before, so it is quite honest. But since lunch, it has started to become a little depressed."
The blonde girl also quickly went downstairs, looking at Shade with concern in her green eyes:
"Shad, what happened? Last night, when Miss Sylvia and Mia knocked on the door of my apartment downstairs, I was frightened."
She hugged Shade, and then went upstairs with Shade holding the cat.
Xia De did not tell lies. After sitting down on the sofa, he told him that in order to fight against a strong enemy, he drank some unknown liquid and had a fever all night.
Because Dorothy didn't know that Shade was actually facing the Shadow of the Evil God, she was not as worried about it as the ladies in Randall Valley. However, she was also puzzled as to why Shade, who was in such strong physical condition, suddenly had a fever and the fever subsided so quickly.
Because I couldn’t figure it out, I could only attribute it to Shade being under some unknown curse.
Shad didn't want to go to Randall Valley again today, and Dorothy was very happy about it. She had been writing in the study room on the second floor all day, and it happened that Shade came back, so she wanted to go out for a walk with him.
And Shade happened to have something to go to Dawn Church to see Priest Augustus, and Dorothy was able to accompany him. Of course, I haven't seen Shade's cat all day long. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see Shade for a long time again, so I insisted on going out with him this time.
Xia De felt that he already knew how to make this cat motivated to go out.
Unlike the city of Randall Valley, where the entire city is now in turmoil and a bit of panic, the city of Tobesk has been peaceful and peaceful since the beginning of this year. It is even said that the crime rate is much lower. As for the business done by Schade since 1854, it was less than double digits.
There were not many people in Dawn Church on Wednesday afternoon, and Priest August had nothing to do at this time. Hearing that Sha De came to him, he knew what Sha De was here for.
So he temporarily took a leave of absence from the church, and then left Dawn Square with Shade and Dorothy, and came to his potion workshop in the basement on the street opposite Dawn Church.
"Speaking of which, priest, Luvia and I went to the local Dawn Church in Randall Valley and inquired about Father Morpheus you mentioned."
When Priest August took out the key and opened the door, Shade explained to Dorothy that Priest August had made a bet with someone and lost 10 pence.
The priest asked curiously:
"Have you seen him? After he returned 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 Morpheus's health? Are you going to tell me bad news?"
He was even a little worried.
"We didn't see him, but Father Morpheus is very good now. He has become the local bishop."
The three of them entered the basement together, which had a special smell of potion. The priest was a little surprised:
"You've all become bishops? That's really good."
"At that time, he went to the hospital to visit patients. There was a plague in the area, so Luvia and I didn't see him. I may be busy for a while, but I will see him again."
Shadow said, and Dorothy asked curiously:
"Priest, you actually bet with others? What are you betting on? Can you tell me?"
"Why are you all so curious about this?"
The priest said dissatisfied:
"It's not a big deal, it's just a joking bet between friends. Otherwise, even if the shipping cost was more than 10 shillings, I would have sent the 10 pence already."
He originally wanted to speak, but changed his mind:
"Young people, excessive curiosity is not a good thing. This time I want to teach you a lesson, so I won't tell you and let Shade find out for himself. When Shade really finds out, he will know how big this is. Boring things, you will regret the energy and time you spent on it."
But when he said this, Shade and Dorothy became more interested in it.
On Monday last week, Shade obtained the angel's finger bone from the haunted Watson Manor. Because of the devil's request to "teach Oxenfurt a lesson", he returned the finger bone to Priest Augustus, and then asked the priest to make a weapon that looked good but was actually useless to conceal Shade's behavior from the devil.
At that time, the priest said that it could be completed in a week. Now that Shade has come to find him, the weapon can naturally be given to him.
"That's it. I'm good at configuring potions, but not at blacksmithing. I entrusted Old John to help me make this appearance, and there's also mechanical design inside."
When Dorothy was holding little Mia and observing the high-temperature calcining furnace of Priest Augustus, the priest handed the black iron box to Shade.
After Shade opened it, he saw a dark silver sword hilt. The dark silver had a metallic texture.
There is a groove engraved in the center of the sword hilt. In the groove, two finger bones that look familiar but are definitely not genuine are interlaced and embedded in it. In addition, there is an elderflower pattern on the hilt, which looks quite gorgeous.
"Why only the hilt?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"Because it is a mechanical telescopic sword, the blade is divided into four sections inside the hilt."
The priest said, taking it out, patting the bottom of the hilt, and then swung it violently. With a click sound, a section of the sword sprang out from the end of the hilt. Now this can be regarded as an exaggerated dagger with a large hilt:
"And then this."
Priest Augustus shook his arm again, and another sword blade came out and turned into a dagger; he shook it a third time, and the third sword blade appeared; and after a final shake, it Only then did it truly become a long sword. The sword body is a normal steel color, and there are grooves in the center on both sides of the sword that resemble bloodletting. Ancient runes about death and life are written on both sides of the grooves.
While the priest was wielding the long sword, Shade could even see the flickering runes, reflecting the sword body into gold:
The priest introduced:
"Pure steel sword. Tap the bottom to release the blade. If you want to retract it, press the bottom of the hilt and press the blade back on the ground or wall. You don't have to worry about the four blades not being connected. It's secure, or it can be retracted by itself during battle. Not only did I use a bonding spell, but I also made a special metal curing fluid to treat it in order to prevent the metal from fatigue. However, you were just pretending anyway. Just deal with the combat, so don't expect it to be really useful. It does work against immortality to a certain extent, so it's no problem to fool your opponent."
