Chapter 13: The Girl with the Broken Sword
Sophia is a vague concept, even in the church, those portraits and statues are only the work of the last few hundred years, and it is doubtful whether it is really Sophia's true face. So Sophia, who is sitting here, doesn't have any special thoughts about the fact that the wooden statue in her hand is slightly different.
"Did you really carve it yourself?" Sophia actually liked the wooden statue in her hand, and no one would not like such an elaborate thing. "I thought you were an alchemist. ”
"Of course I'm an alchemist, Miss Sophia. Lulunaka hurriedly said, anxious as if to clear up some misunderstanding, "Although I like sculpture and spend a lot of time on it, my main work is still in alchemy. The paint used for this sculpture was also made by myself. ”
Sophia wouldn't have doubted Lulunaka, and after Bal had been watching the shop for so long, she knew who was making those strange items. "You're amazing. Although she had already felt the magic of the strange things that Lulunaka had made, she still felt the emotion when she touched the delicate wooden sculpture in her hand.
"It's just some random stuff. Lulunaka rubbed her head embarrassedly and replied shyly, "I thought those things would not sell, but I didn't expect that there would be guests like Miss Sophia and Lord Barr." ”
Sophia remembered the spinning top that was no different from the murder weapon. It was fun, but it wasn't so fun to use on people, and it would destroy her yard, so she'd put the spinning top with the silver thorn strip in the warehouse.
"Why would you think of making such a dangerous thing?" Sophia was a little curious, why would this innocent-looking and cute kid think of making such a thing?
"That spinning top?" Lulunaka tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said to Sophia, "Before leaving my hometown, I heard that there were many robbers and bandits on the way south, although my uncle and cousin are a bit of martial arts, but what if there are too many people and they can't cope with it?" Speaking of this, Lulunaka nodded her lips with a deep finger, looking thoughtful, "Some things are too dangerous, my uncle told me to dismantle them, and I can only destroy them." It's a pity that a lot of precious materials are used......"
To Sophia and Barr in the corner, Lulunaka is indeed a girl who is a little immature, but with many strange ideas and exquisite alchemy. But Lulunaka's casual attitude of not caring what kind of thing she had made was even more impressive.
"You look like a child. Sophia said to Lulunaka. Lulunaka smiled even more embarrassedly, "That's what my family always says about me...... Saying that I am my age, I can even have children, but I am still so naïve, no one will want to marry a strange girl like me. ”
Sophia chuckled again, Luluna was such an interesting person.
After that, the small talk between the two continued, and they had a pleasant tea time.
On the way north from the King's Castle to the Forest of the Dead, a convoy was heading south to the King's Castle. The wagons of the convoy were full of live goods, and the people who followed the wagons and those who sat in the wagons looked tired. In the back wagon, sat a man who was not from the caravan. The man was slender and looked like a woman, but he was wearing a thick cloak that made it impossible to see his face. She also carried a two-handed sword on her back, but the sword was broken, which seemed a little strange.
A middle-aged man in leather armor followed the side of the carriage, slowed down, and followed the lonely man. The members of the convoy in front of them walked together in groups of at least three or two, and the owner of the convoy stayed in his carriage to avoid the cold, and only the one who remained at the back looked like a lonely man.
"Aren't you really going to sit with our boss?" the middle-aged man asked her, "He sent someone to invite you just now." ”
"This is also part of the practice. It was a girl's voice, as the cloak obscured her face, making her voice sound a little dull, "Before going out, I was reminded that I should not have fun. ”
"It's hard work. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. This strange girl made him not know how to get along with him.
"Once you get used to it, you don't think about how warm a flame is. "It can also clear the mind." ”
Except for the ascetics, the middle-aged man has never seen anyone who specifically goes to suffer, but if it is the girl in front of him, there is a possibility. The girl in front of her suddenly appeared when the convoy was intercepted and killed by the thieves in the mountains. She seemed to be from the forest of the dead in the east, and for some unknown reason she appeared in the mountains to the west, wearing a thick dress, not even a trace of skin was exposed, and even her face was tightly wrapped in a cloak.
It was such a young girl who slashed and killed more than a dozen vicious gangsters at that time, so that the convoy avoided greater losses. This young girl killed and injured most of the thieves with only one broken sword, which is impressive. Even a small team of skilled mercenaries may not be able to do it so easily.
This girl behaves strangely, and has strong strength, although the owner of the convoy wants to win her over, but he is also afraid of her strength, so he didn't dare to get too close, let her follow the convoy, send food and drink, and usually not many people dare to approach her. At that time, the picture of her slashing and killing gangsters scared many people. Ordinary people would naturally be scared when they saw a large amount of blood, but some of her behaviors at that time made even the mercenaries who were guards feel a little uncomfortable. And the middle-aged people who are now following the girl are one of the few who will not cringe because of this.
"Actually, you don't want to deal with that troublesome boss. The middle-aged man smiled, "The boss is an authentic businessman, and sometimes it is really uncomfortable to get along with." "Middle-aged people don't have any preconceptions about hiring their own team owners, and a businessman is a bit snobbish, but it's the norm. So his anxious appearance of being in a hurry to please the girl, but he couldn't get close to it at all, made the middle-aged man feel quite interesting.
The girl did not answer, as if she was asleep, and there was no movement. The middle-aged man was used to it, so he just shrugged his shoulders, didn't bother himself anymore, and walked forward.
Of course, the girl was not asleep, but her mind was elsewhere—it would not be long before she was back in the King's Castle.
