Chapter 52: Be careful, boy
Julius looked up at Olga. Olga's words brought his hands to a halt, "Am I going to destroy a sword like this?" he asked Olga.
Olga glanced at the broken sword in Julius's hand and continued: "You sharpened your sword a little faster than usual today, and I can see that you are a little anxious. If you work with this kind of mood, you will mess things up. β
Julius was not a man who could not listen to the opinions of others, and Olga's words still entered his ears. He picked up the whetstone and wiped it no longer against the sword. "But. He glanced at the broken sword, then at Olga, "Is this sword really worth maintain......ing?" Maybe it can't be called a sword at all, blunt into something like this, say it's an iron bar, and lift it. Julius said, and it seems that he had tried to see if the broken sword could still cut something, but judging by his words, it was not optimistic.
Julius is not exaggerating, he is telling the truth. The sword is broken, and it's no longer sharp. If the sword is alive, then the sword is undoubtedly "dead".
As a skilled warrior, Olga had already confirmed that the broken sword was not the best choice for a warrior after wielding it a few times. Only in the worst and most desperate times, when a person has only such a broken copper and iron in his hand, will this person wield such a weapon to protect himself.
As far as a weapon is concerned, this broken sword is worthless. But if it is treated as an object with a history, then it is undoubtedly significant. A weapon from a hundred years ago, a weapon from a person who experienced a battle and civil strife that influenced future generations...... As an antiquity, he does possess some value. This is Olga's opinion.
Unlike Julius and Olga, Lulunaka seems to have other opinions, but she has no intention of telling anyone else, she just stuffs the broken sword to Julius and asks him to do the work, not asking him why.
Now that Luluna was on Julius and Olga's side, she stopped the leader's carriage, and after calming the horses, she climbed up to a certain stone wall and sat down, playing with two gadgets in her hand.
Lulunaka didn't sit very far away, and both Julius and Olga could see her. The two gadgets Lulunaka was playing with now were two small green balls that could be seen floating.
Whether it's Olga or Julius, or Romeo and Pattin, they're all familiar with what it isβthe alchemy bomb that Lulunaka named Lady Scream. Lulunaka relied on such alchemical products, including Ward, the alchemy dog, who was clearly not a living thing, to put an end to a conspiracy and massacre against Romeona, albeit in a very disagreeable manner.
Almost everyone died, and only those who were still standing here remained.
Now Lulunaka took out the screaming lady again, and played with it in her hand as if playing with two beads, which made Olga who saw this scene have to feel worried. On the one hand, he knew that Lulunaka did seem to have a lot of such deadly things, and on the other hand, he began to worry about whether there would be any accidents if Lulunaka played with a dangerous object like this. Looking at Lulunaka's appearance, she didn't seem to be worried about what might happen to her, and she seemed to be completely fine when she was also in the range of Screaming Lady, probably because she had a way to avoid the impact of the sound waves that no one else knew. But safety is only for Lulunaka, and no one else is capable of it.
Lulunaka didn't have a mortar or anything like that in her hand to do her suspicious alchemy today, but just two beautiful "beads" to play around, but the act was terrifying enough.
Lulunaka, who noticed Olga's gaze, looked over with a smile, "What's the matter? Lord Olga, I didn't do anything bad today?"
"Maybe you should pay attention to your safety β especially ours. Olga said. His meaning was obvious, and his eyes were fixed on the screaming lady in Lulunaka's hand. Lulunaka could certainly notice where Olga's gaze was staying. "Don't worry, this one is safe now, there is no danger. She held up the screaming lady in her hand, the green crystals glistening in the sunlight. "Even I know what to look out for when it comes to explosives. You won't be able to tell, but I've temporarily removed the fuse, so don't worry. β
Olga couldn't tell if there was such a fuse on the strange bomb, but since Lulunaka said so, he had to believe it. There was nothing left to say about staying on Julius's side, and Olga returned to Romeona's side. Romeona was still sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, leaning against the side, with no intention of coming down. She still had her eyes on Lulunaka, but occasionally her eyes fell on Julius.
Seeing Olga gone, Lulunaka looked at Julius. Seeing Julius with the broken sword in his lap and the whetstone she gave him, he shouted, "Are you lazy, hero?"
Lulunaka's sarcastic words were so strong that Julius blushed slightly. There is a little panic after being found out for laziness and perfunctory, and there is also annoyance after being teased by Lulunaka. However, the sloppy and lazy guy has no reason or qualification to refute it, not to mention that Lulunaka has said that it can't be a joke at all, which makes him a little nervous.
"Relax, just kidding. Luluna laughed, putting Julius in a slightly lighter mood. "You think the job I've given you is boring, don't you?" asked Lulunaka.
Julius wanted to say yes, but he didn't dare to say it, and if he did, what was Lulunaka going to do?
When Julius squirmed and didn't know what to say, Lulunaka continued, "Don't squirm like a girl, it's too ugly." I've never seen a hero who is too scared to tell the truth, do you want to be the first?" Lulunaka sat on the edge of the stone wall, two screaming ladies resting on their inner thighs clasped together, their hands on their cheeks, their calves dangling.
Lulunaka had said that, and Julius felt that if she didn't open her mouth again, Lulunaka would probably be really angry. Rather than being caught for being lazy, his current cringe would probably make Lulunaka angrier. Don't look at Lulunaka's kind smile, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have any emotions, it's just that even if she's unhappy, it's just like that.
For Julius, Lulunaka is a witch of unknown age in the skin of a maiden, and this is something that will never change. But at the same time, for Julius, the witch was quite good to him...... If he doesn't do something that seems meaningless.
Julius held the broken sword up so that Lulunaka could see it, "This broken sword is just scrap metal. "No matter how hard I try, I can't get it sharp again with a whetstone, and only when the blacksmith returns it." β
Lulunaka nodded, not looking like she was feeling emotional about Julius' words, as if she was thinking about something, which made Julius a little more uneasy. "That's what you think, but it's not surprising. This broken sword is indeed a scrap metal, and there is no way to cut people. β
Julius's face improved when he heard Lulunaka agree with him. But then Lulunaka's words made his expression bitter again.
"But that kind of thing doesn't matter. Lulunaka stretched out her finger and pointed at Julius, with a smile on her face, "You just continue to polish this sword, how to sharpen it, I have another evaluation criterion in my heart." It doesn't matter if it works or not. β
