213. Unfortunate news
"Xia Zuo." Long Ge, who came out of the house with a pot, found that he had returned, with a serious face that was not optimistic, "Are you back so soon?" I haven't prepared lunch yet. β
Unlike ordinary people, Xia Zuo has no smell on his body, and only when he gets close, his footsteps will be heard by Long Ge.
"What about Ms. Sarina? I have something to tell her. After Xia Zuo entered the house, he looked around, this small hut was much cleaner than the castle.
"She's busy in the kitchen..."Long Ge looked away embarrassedly, "Well, I didn't follow your agreement, I didn't prepare the lunch, and Ms. Sarina is better at cooking, so I'll leave it to her... But next time I will. β
"Are you back?" Sarina listened to their conversation and rushed out as soon as possible, and her hands that rolled up her sleeves didn't have time to wash, and there were a lot of food crumbs, "Alan... Did you find out about Alan? Mr. Xia Zuo? β
Xia Zuo stepped forward and took out those metal buckles from his bag, "... Is it your son's? β
Recognizable by Sarina at a glance, she shook her hands, took a few buttons, and did not immediately reply, but snorted in disbelief.
Seeing this, Xia Zuo was already sure that it belonged to Allen.
"There are these two things," before the other party spoke, Xia Zuo continued to take out the sword and the head ring, "You said that the head ring is an item that he never leaves with him, and besides, this sword is also your son's?" β
"Yes, it's all his," Sarina continued to take the items, and when the other party's words fell, she said hurriedly, still trying to remain optimistic in her heart, "The sword was given to him by a friend of the union, and Alan cherishes it very much, and never lends it to others, even if I help him polish the sword, he will complain to me a few words... Ha, why are you so reckless this time? Did you see him in person? Where is he? β
"I'm sorry," Xia Zuo said bluntly, "There are also burn marks on the button, and since it's all his belongings, your son has already passed away." β
"No," Sarina immediately denied, hesitating, not daring to ask, "... How can you be sure? I didn't even see him with my own eyes! β
"If you encounter sacrificial magic, you won't leave a corpse." Xia Zuo shook his head calmly.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was condensed, Long Ge just stood aside at a loss.
"I don't believe it," Sarina said, tears welling up, "forgive me for being disrespectful, sir, for what nonsense you are talking about. β
"The dead are great, my purpose is not to argue with you, ma'am, even if it is a detailed analysis, it is meaningless," Xia Zuo suggested, "How about finding out the murderer directly?" β
"You're right... I will. Sarina tightened her grip on her sword and prepared to leave for the Lake of Tranquility again.
"Lady Sarina, I mean, you don't have to go in person," Xia Zuo took a step towards the center of the door, blocking her way, "I didn't let you go to the murderer. β
Sarina, with her eyes misty, looked up in confusion.
"I brought the murderer to meet you," Xia Zuo stretched out his hand, "But I have to pay in advance, and the current commission has changed from finding Eren to bringing back the murderer." β
Sarina hesitated for a moment, remembering what the pay meant, "What do you want... Is that the kind of black stone you talked about earlier? β
"Yes, the murderer is extremely dangerous, and that needs to be used to deal with him, of course, he is only suspected of being a murderer, if it is not the real murderer, I can also pry some clues from his mouth - about what happened to your son."
"Please wait for me." Sarina's demeanor almost changed from sadness and confusion to resoluteness.
She didn't say where to go, just turned and walked briskly into the house.
A moment later, Sarina brought over a small wooden box.
"There's what you're looking for here, and maybe something else, but it's all items that Alan usually takes the risk of bringing back and saying that they will be of great value to keepβcompared to the gold coins that are mixed with copper in the royal capital."
When Sarina opened the lid of the box in front of her, Xia Zuo was stunned, it was a box full of props and material gems, including steel jade for enhancement, stones for alchemy, and there were three Fallen Stones alone, which was the amount of three "Stone Silence" potions.
The "Fallen Stone" is a very rare alchemy material, and the Ministry of Magic has a potion recipe, but Xia Zuo has never found any such stones, maybe the only few used by Palmer, or maybe they were lost with the destruction of the White Tower, who knows. It's so rare that you can't even dig through the entire mine, and you may not be able to find one. How did Alan collect so much, Xia Zuo was very curious. Now, the alchemy recipe of "Stone Silence" found in the Ministry of Magic can be used.
In addition, there is also a pure white mask at the bottom of the material gem, and the prop name icons are overlapped, and Xia Zuo has not had time to see the name of the mask clearly.
"Take it all." Sarina said, handing it over with both hands, with a look of hatred, "What if... That really happened, please help me bring the real murderer here, I want to listen to him. β
"The deal is done." Xia Zuo took the box calmly, and as he spoke, he poured all the items of the box into his bag, "But first, I have to make props that can deal with that guy." β
"Is the enemy tricky? Xia Zuo. Long Ge asked worriedly, "I'll go fight together." β
"It may be tricky, he has the magic to hide his own magical aura, and I can't figure out his strength and details now, but as long as there is 'Stone Silence', no magician can be a threat," Xia Zuo said to Long Ge, "Long Ge stay, continue to prepare lunch, I'm going to go to Zeber's shop that sells magic props, and alchemy needs to be used in the alchemy table." β
"Return to Zeber? Will it take too much time to make it for lunch? Long Ge narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Xia Zuo with his head crossed, and looked suspicious, "Can you be faster than just now?" You won't be able to fly at full speed against me, will you? Saying okay I'll catch up with you at full speed, and you don't have full speed!? β
If she didn't go all out in the agreed competition, it would be an insult to Long Ge, and Xia Zuo knew her belligerence.
"No, no..."Xia Zuo hurriedly denied and waved his hand, "Of course I was at full speed during the competition. β
"Then you are going to Zeber, do you want me to prepare you dinner? What to say for lunch. Long Ge stood back in a balanced heart.
"It's lunch, I found another altar on my way here at the Lake of Tranquility, so I don't have to fly back, I'll be back before lunch."
"Altar..."Long Ge recalled the pitch-black stone platform used by Xia Zuo to disappear in the city, and suddenly realized, "Oh~ Can you use that and go back to Zebel directly?" No wonder, I've been wondering where you went before. β
Xia Zuo replied in the affirmative, using the "Flying" magic to float off the ground, "Without further ado." β
"I'll wrap lunch around me." Long Ge waved goodbye to him.
In contrast to Long Ge's expression, Sarina's face was full of sorrow, and she stared at the ground thinking about something.
"Take care of Ms. Sarina, Long Ge, don't bother others about lunch for the time being," Xia Zuo persuaded, it is estimated that Sarina is not in the mood to do anything at the moment, and it will take some effort just to let her stay where she is and not be impulsive, "Long Ge's personal craft, I think I can try it first." β
