Chapter 2011: Barbara's Aftermath
Unlike Castle Vechi, noon in Moonlight is quiet and quiet.
A cup of black tea, a few pieces of dim sum, and crisp birdsong, it is like being in a fairyland.
Princess Anarieta rummaged through boxes full of gowns, picking out her favorite ornaments and jewels, then cutting them with scissors and decorating her clothes.
This wasteful behavior is one of the few pleasures she has.
Princess Anareta, on the other hand, is constantly rummaging through small handicrafts, and she loves these gadgets made by goblins, especially brain-burning things such as the Nine Rings and Trap Locks.
Although many times, she racked her brains and couldn't crack it, but she just liked it, and the more brain-burning she was, the more she liked it, this rare behavior with a bit of masochistic complex made me very puzzled.
Old man Taylor sat in the backyard, carrying a wine bottle in one hand and the sword of victory and oath in the other, and sighed: "Yes, yes, your printing level has reached the peak, and the decoration of this sword has been completely unrecognizable, not to mention Cuika, who has never seen the artifact itself, even if the original owner of this sword sees it, he will treat it as a high imitation of a pair of thirty copper coins in the flea market." ”
After listening to the old man's evaluation, I was a little embarrassed: "Is it really so bad?" What is my stamp level? ”
"It's okay, it's not too bad," the old man said, "I've seen something worse than this, but then it was said that the man changed his career to paint." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it yet, let me ask you, bastard, who are you going to give it to?"
"Emily," I said, "who else in the family uses a sword besides her?" ”
"If it's for Emily, it's still a bit risky," the old man said, "After all, Emily is Anasta's personal guard, and Anasta is very close to Cuika, and if something happens by accident, it is likely that Trika will be discovered." ”
"What should I do then?" I'm sorry.
"If you want me to say, just hang it on the wall as a wall decoration."
"This can't be done" The old man's idea was rejected by me on the spot: "This is a veritable artifact, and it can still shine in your hand!" ”
With that, I took the Sword of Victory and Oath and demonstrated to the old man how it glowed.
However......
"Huh? No, it was clear that it could emit a soft halo before......"
I muttered in wonder as I turned the artifact over and turned it over, but I couldn't see the light it had before.
"That's not right! Something must have gone wrong! I swore by it, "When I was on the airship before, it was still shining!" ”
"Well, I believe you" The old man waved his hand to signal me to calm down, then took a sip of wine and said, "I believe that it will be able to shine, but you have too many patterns printed on it, almost covering it completely, even if it shines, you can't see it." ”
"Hey, look at me, how did I forget this stubble!" Patting my head, I was embarrassed and said, "No, the light is covered, how can it be released!" But now it is completely relieved, even if the empress grandma doubts it, as long as she can't see its light, there is no way to determine its identity. ”
"If you don't get in touch, you're really good at it."
"If only that were the case," I breathed a sigh of relief, "The Empress doesn't pay attention to a knight's sword that looks like a knockoff." ”
"Her words really won't" The old man fed me a reassuring pill: "The superiority of the family bloodline determines that it is impossible for her to look at the counterfeit goods with her eyes in her life, even if the inside of this knock-off is a genuine artifact." ”
With the old man's words, I finally let go.
If there is anyone in the world who is most familiar with the Fairy Empress, it must be Taylor.
......
......
With the arrival of dusk, the Fearless Guild and his party took the lead in returning home, and when they saw me, Phoenix cheered in surprise and pounced, but she was still a step late, and was taken advantage of by the little Remi who flew directly over.
Little Remy sat on my shoulder as usual, her little hands ruffling my hair and giggling in her mouth.
The phoenix was much more disciplined than her, just quietly holding my arm, looking at me vigorously, as if she was looking at a rare treasure.
I was used to the feeling of being watched, and I didn't feel any embarrassment or discomfort.
The others first said hello to me, and then gathered over to the three wooden boxes to divide the contents.
Snacks of all kinds are the most popular, followed by jewelry on clothes, and the least popular are ornaments and jewelry that are expensive and have little practical use.
Cagalli sat down on the couch with a string of pearls, and the round milky pearls were held up to her eyes, keeping the pearls in a straight line with the philosopher's stone lamp.
After staring at it for a while, she wondered, "I used to hear that the light of the Philosopher's Stone Lamp could pass through pearls, but now it seems that it is pure fiction. ”
"Of course," I said, "the rumors in the market, the rumors in the market, it's good to have five percent of them." ”
"It turns out that the true rate is so high!" Cagalli nodded, and suddenly put the pearl necklace on the coffee table, clenched her fist and was about to smash it down.
"Hey, wait!" I hurriedly stopped her: "What are you doing here?" ”
Cagalli looked at me seriously: "It is rumored that pearl powder can be used for skin care and beauty, since it has such a high real rate, I want to try it." ”
"You can go to the pharmacy and buy it, why smash this pearl necklace?"
"It's still rumored that the pearl powder sold in the pharmacy is mixed with flour, which is not pure," Cagalli said, raising her voice: "Does anyone want this pearl necklace?" ”
"I'll get it later" Yura picked out a brooch, pinned it to her clothes, and said slowly, "In case Barbara wants it, if you smash it without asking her opinion, everyone won't have to sleep tonight." ”
"Wow, she dares!" Cagalli spoke heroically, but the movements in her hands stopped, thought twice, pinched the pearl necklace, threw it away, threw it into the box, and at the end, clapped her hands, and said: "I'm not afraid of that poor milk cat, but for the sake of everyone, I have to make compromises." ”
"The Lord will be wise!" Kunna whispered.
"Long live the Elder Adult!" Maggie raised her arms and shouted.
After a while, everyone had picked out their favorite things and returned to their room happily, and then I stood up and walked out unhurriedly.
"Where are you going?" Cagalli fiddled with a sapphire and asked casually.
I didn't look back and said, "Go find Yang Jiao and come over to them, good things have to be shared by everyone." ”
Yang Jiao, Liu Yu, Duanmuyu and others, who grew up in the slums since childhood, have finally become prosperous since they joined the Dreadnought Guild and moved to Moonlight City.
But even so, in front of the mountain of treasures, they still stood still, their hands and feet trembling slightly, and they didn't know what to do.
