Chapter Twenty-Four: Sister Red Lotus
No matter how unwilling they are, after the Assassin League intervenes, the rangers' side will not have any advantage at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The handsome ranger looked at all the people around him angrily, and finally had no choice, and withdrew from the mercenary union with his group. And all kinds of onlookers saw that the matter was getting bigger, and those who didn't want to get into trouble slipped away one after another.
After a period of chaos, the hall was filled with Kaliel, Kiyo, Red Lotus, and the Assassin she had brought with her head covered.
"Why are you here?"
As soon as the danger passed, Carlil slowly dismissed the ice ball in his hand, this thing is more troublesome than a fireball, it is better to be able to throw it, if it can't be thrown, it can only be dispersed part by part, and it has to be held in his hand for a long time.
"Someone reported that you had a fight with others in the mercenary union, so I quickly brought someone over to take a look, anyway, you are also in the name of an elder, I can't leave you alone" Honglian said with a smile, this time it seems that you are prepared, at least your hair is neatly combed.
"I'm sorry for the trouble," Kiyoshi said with a little apology as he put away his sword.
"It's not a bother, in fact, I came to you this time to come with you" Honglian leaned over happily and hugged Karil with a very affectionate hand, "How about it~?" ”
It's nothing to hug her, so Karil let Honglian put her arm around her shoulders and asked, "Let's go?" ”
"Yes, because it's too boring to stay still in this place," Honglian shrugged her shoulders, "After I reported your affairs yesterday, the people above me, I paid attention to you, so I simply applied to leave this stronghold and follow you."
"That's ......"
There is nothing wrong with people, and the Assassin League will not have any disadvantage to itself, although the combat power is not yet clear, but the meaning of the representative of the Assassin Alliance is also more important.
Doesn't seem like there's much reason to refuse?
"Well, if you don't care about the trouble I carry, of course I won't mind if you come along."
Kahlil said with a special emphasis on "trouble", this kind of thing should be better talked about first. But if you think about it, if you can get the support of the Assassin Alliance, it seems that the problem on the family side is not so big......
"Trouble? Isn't it just to get married in your hometown?" Honglian Chao said indifferently, "What's wrong!" You see, sister, I'm so old that no one wants it! Wouldn't it be nice to marry him directly, what do you expect from him, girl?"
"Not good at all!" Only then did Kahlil remember that he had forgotten for a moment that the Assassin League had also taken over the mission, and he didn't know anything about himself, "I'm going to marry you, I'm definitely not going back now anyway, and I don't want to be caught." ”
"Okay, you decide, I'll just go on a trip with you" Red Lotus rubbed Karil's hair, and combed her hand in the middle of Karil's long pale blonde hair with some enjoyment, "Where are we going now?" If you want a carriage, you will have it right away."
Karil finally pulled Red Lotus's hand out of her hair with some unhappiness, and said, "The carriage will be asked later, and now there is another thing to do first." ”
The purpose of coming to the mercenary union is to come over and see if there is any task to replenish his money bag. So now that the trouble is dealt with, of course, you have to go in and find a task first.
Red Lotus sent all the assassins back with her, and the three of them entered the office at the back of the hall.
It wasn't until she took the task that Kaliel realized that it was much more convenient if there was a red lotus, and after watching her for a long time, she was ready to take over a job of mixing potions, and the remuneration was okay, mainly because some materials needed to be bought in the Holy City, and they could be dropped off. And taking the task requires a very important thing, and the formal contact is much more troublesome than the last time in Icefield City, unlike when you negotiated with Barrett and went directly, and the task recognized by the union must be signed and certified by the mercenary manual......
It would take a long time to do this, and after Kaliel and Qing Ci glanced at each other helplessly, Red Lotus wasted no time in handing over her mercenary manual.
"You don't have any of this, sure enough, the eldest lady" Honglian shook her head, her tone couldn't tell whether she was envious or proud, "I don't want us people, I have to work all day to eat."
"Aren't we going to do the mission now" Karil angrily took the filled out mercenary manual and stuffed it directly into Red Lotus's hand.
"That's if you don't go home, everything will be fine when you go home"
"Go home and it's all over!" Kahlil took the two of them directly out of the mercenary union.
In general, Red Lotus has much more words than Qing Xi, and she can talk a lot, from the union she began to talk about Carlil and began to talk about all kinds of fragmented topics, fortunately, it is not too boring, Red Lotus happily talked all the way from the total development and history of the Assassin League to Pope Angelo's contribution, Qing Xi quietly followed the two as if forgotten.
"That's right!"
Just as he was talking about the Pope's influence on the stability of the world pattern, Red Lotus suddenly stopped halfway through.
"What's wrong?" It felt quite interesting, and as soon as Red Lotus interrupted the topic like this, Kahlil felt a little regretful.
"I have something to pick up before I go, soon, why don't you come along?"
"What's that? Where is it? ”
"The intersection just turned left and it was soon there, I had a knife a month ago, and I have forgotten to take it until now, but fortunately I suddenly remembered it just now, otherwise it would be cheaper for him" Honglian said with some joy, and asked again, "It's not too far, what do you think?" ”
"Then let's go together" It's okay anyway, it doesn't matter to the two of them.
"That's good!"
It was indeed not far, Red Lotus took Karil and Qing Xi into the alley for almost ten minutes, and then arrived at a weapons shop, Red Lotus easily pushed open the door and walked in, and the two hurriedly followed.
"Boss, where's my knife?"
Honglian shouted as soon as she pushed the door open.
"Oh...... You're finally here, I thought you didn't want it" The middle-aged boss was still dozing off behind the counter, and was awakened by Honglian's words, rubbed his eyes and said, stood up and entered the back room.
There are all kinds of swords, daggers and other weapons hanging in the room, as well as some shields and armor, but the style is not very good.
"What do you think?" Kahlil asked softly.
Qing Ci casually picked up a dagger from the side and flipped it, flicked the blade with his fingers, and replied with some surprise: "It's okay, the quality is much better than it looks on the outside."
"You don't understand this, there is nothing particularly powerful outside this store, if you want a good weapon, you have to pay for it yourself, such as mine!" Red Lotus said.
"Oh? What have you decided? Kaliel asked casually.
"Taidao" Honglian replied casually.
"Poof—"
Kahlil sprayed at once, there is no such thin-bladed weapon in this world, even the thin sword is the kind made of thick blades.
"Huh? Do you know what Taidao is? Red Lotus looked at Karil with some surprise, "Oh yes, you still have elder authority, it's not surprising to know......"
"I wonder why you know this!" Karil has always been a red lotus.
"It's very simple, I saw it in the underground library of the alliance headquarters before, and I used one for a while at that time, but unfortunately the knife was broken later," Honglian said very regretfully.
"You can still enter the underground library?"
Oh, can you finish it all at once, this is a sentence by sentence.
Kahlil glared at Red Lotus unhappily, and Red Lotus didn't reveal anything about herself.
"Because it was too boring to read all day at that time, people came here to be the supervisor, if they had stayed at the headquarters at the time, maybe they would have been mixed up to the master level now."
"Tut-tut......"
I didn't expect to be a cadre in the past.
Kahlil wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this time, the boss had already come out of it with a long box, and Honglian was super happy to surround her, so Kahlil had to ask later.
Red Lotus gently pushed open the box, and inside was a katana more than a meter long, wrapped in black trim and red scabbard, with a unique curved blade as Kalil recognized.
"It's been done a long time ago, but don't try it out in the store." The middle-aged boss put away the box and admonished.
"Well, it's okay just to see, right?" Red Lotus asked, although it was a question, but she had already pulled out the knife as she spoke.
A cold breath poured out from the moment the knife was drawn, and the knife swung smoothly in the red lotus's hand a few times, and then pointed diagonally at the ground paved with stones.
"The piece of ice crystal jade you gave is basically not wasted, and the effect of metal melting is also good, there will not be a second person in this quality city to make it, you can rest assured of my craftsmanship" The middle-aged man didn't stop it as if he was used to it, but just bragged about it by the way.
The blade of the knife is bright metal, about a centimeter wide back of the knife, there are blood grooves on both sides, and the part of the blade is also very finely polished, the focus is on the cold air emitted from the entire blade, and the cold air sinks directly from the knife body when holding the knife.
After pulling it out for a while, a layer of hoarfrost had condensed on the shelf next to it.
"It's so beautiful...... Honglian sighed, gently put the knife back as if she was caressing a lover, and then reluctantly tied the scabbard to a rope and hung it around her waist.
"That is, how bad can I do with my own work?" The middle-aged boss is super proud, "Whether it is sharpness or strength, element penetration or fluidity, it is definitely a first-class level, but it is just ...... Why fight such a strange knife? Wouldn't it be better to make a rapier? ”
"Whether it's good or not is up to the person who uses it, isn't it?"
Honglian raised her hand slightly, and without looking at it, it was like cutting over the end of the counter, and then neatly put the knife into the sheath, hanging it around her waist, and covering it under the corner of her clothes.
The candlestick at the end of the counter was cut in half vertically, and the wick that was divided into the two halves did not even extinguish the flame, and the melted candle oil flowed in through the cracks and solidified together.
