Section A Chapter 51: The Blood Mage's Legacy (Lusha)
Half an hour later.
Because the Knight, Elf, and Morse all went to eat the barbecue, only the Aya sisters and the Mad Dog were left. Due to the panic caused by the previous walk around with Guladan, Lucina lifted the summons.
I always feel like some people are pointing fingers at us again and talking about Icerock City...... Uncomfortable by the spotlight, Lusha felt uneasy and pressed her hood lower.
For some reason, she always began to subconsciously touch the dagger between her legs to see if it was still there: this thing was too dangerous. But if I'm in danger, I can use it to defend myself. As long as you swipe the opponent with less force, you can make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness.
But does it really work for the corruptor?? Looking at the starry sky and moonlight hidden in the snow mist overhead, Lusa recalled the conclusion of her experiments with it in the past few days: it could disrupt the flow of blood in an instant, causing severe pain all over the body. At the same time, it can make the cut part immobile and the wound is difficult to heal. According to her sister, stabbing the person while the other person is making a massive movement can render him physically unable to move for several minutes.
But...... To activate its curse rune, it must first be made to drink a large amount of blood. The amount of blood is almost equivalent to the amount of blood sprayed continuously for half a minute after a deep wrist cut. Except for Aya's normal people, they can't use it at all. Crucially, the dagger does not drink the blood of the person holding it.
Once the wielder's hand completely releases the dagger for half a minute, the curse rune will be deactivated. Despite knowing these characteristics, Lusha still found it very difficult: according to the design of this dagger, it was basically impossible to hit the opponent head-on. But to play its role, it is necessary to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.
However...... Lusha is not good at hand-to-hand combat, so she has never learned from her father and others. Although the hand-to-hand combat skills of the Aiya clan, who can only rely on speed, are completely inseparable from those of werewolves, the basic moves are still common.
Could it really be a ceremonial dagger...... Lutha had read a book that contained a number of lost artifacts: one of them, a weapon of unknown initial form, had the ability to absorb the user's blood to transform into multiple forms. It causes the wounded to lose a lot of blood under the spell and never heals.
It is used by a legendary female blood mage of the Blood, whose name has faded into time. Rumor has it that this weapon, nicknamed the "Thirsty Blood Butterfly", is still in circulation, sealed in a sarcophagus somewhere in the Twelve Worlds.
The Twelve Worlds...... Right above us. Looking at the night sky again, Lusa imagined the beauty of the World Tree Dome: every branch was as huge as a mountain. And at the top of the canopy, floats the city of Ellandi, the city in the sky that has been closed by the Eurasian dynasty to this day. It is also known as the Eurasian Heaven, and in El Landine, it hides a portal to the Floating Island Divine Capital.
Daddy, they've been there, and they've killed the God of Destruction who captured the Temple of the Gods...... The trees all over the world were shocked, but fortunately, Dad didn't leave their names. According to Papa Geos Emile's philosophy, this world does not need heroes. After everything is over, the hero should no longer carry so many heavy shackles, just need to live easily.
So his and his mother's favorite thing to do was to sit outside the house, on the grassy slopes in the suburbs, and snuggle up to each other every day, thinking about what to eat and play, and fighting in bed every night. I can't see at all that these two god-killers who are busy doing a good job every day have killed a large number of evil gods.
Maybe Aloa is easy for people to immerse themselves in a good life, right? Kalamar and the others, who also participated in the heroic war, all hung around with their own Aiya and thought about what to play next. Anyone who stays there for a long time will be discouraged by the relaxed atmosphere of the city.
However, due to Eloa's remoteness, remoteness from political strife and the city's large number of races (such as demons and undead), the city's population is well controlled, maintaining a fairyland-like tranquility. The city is quite large, about the size of Neverwinter.
At the same time, Eloa is also one of the few cities in the seventeenth world with an absolute disadvantage in the number of humans, in addition to a large area of suburbs, there are many special urban areas suitable for different ethnic groups. Eloa is alive twenty-four hours a day, because there are many nocturnal Eborn living in it. A large part of the city has also been specially set up with a magical barrier, so that it will always be in a state of darkness.
Eloa's care for all races is probably only comparable to the former Eurasian kings and the city in the sky, right?
Thinking back on Eloa's bits and pieces, Lutha felt a pang of sadness again. In order to relieve this frustration, she pinched the dumplings in her bag and turned her attention to the bustling and brightly lit food street in the center of town. Since it is a port town, it has a large number of foreign cuisines. There are many things that Lusa has never heard of before - like authentic Brosetta stew (local specialty sauce + olive vegetables + cabbage + seru + green wind fruit + goat meat).
Aya generally smells the cooked meat and does not feel repulsed, but feels delicious. But once you put it in your mouth, you feel disgusting and you will vomit it immediately. But Lucina would want to vomit even when she smelled meat floss.
There is a lot of food on this street...... Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Lusha lowered her hood and swallowed: her favorite desserts were everywhere, and the smell was wafting everywhere.
"There may be chocolate cake in this shop, and I see people shipping cocoa inside. Stopping, my sister looked at a shop: "Lusha's favorite food." ”
"Aha, what are you waiting for? Immediately came to his senses, and the mad dog pushed open the door of the store and walked inside. Led into the store by her sister, Lusha took a deep breath of the air in the store and felt refreshed: the boss was very particular about burning incense.
The interior of the store is small, but the environment is very simple and fresh, and the walls are covered with plain wallpaper. Apart from the three, there were only the owner and his wife and another guest who was drinking coffee.
"Do you have a freshly baked chocolate cake? Bring me one that's ten inches big and five inches wide. After a gesture, Seresya threw a piece of gold to the boss who was entertaining him in Eurasian language: "Remember to find money." ”
"When people do this kind of action, they say, 'Don't look for it, just tip it.'" Humming a song, Lucina flipped through the menu: "Since you're in for a treat, I'll order it casually." ”
"If you dare to give money, I'll only pay Lusha when the time comes, if you can't afford to pay and sell yourself, won't you?" deliberately teased Lucina, and the mad dog squinted: "Even if the business is not skilled, isn't it possible for Aya to earn half a lifetime of money in one night?"
"Cut, I'm serious Aya. Disdainful of the mad dog's provocation, Lucina looked at Lusa with an eager expression: "Or...... Can you help my sister?"
"Hurry up, I've got something to ask Morse after eating. Squinting his eyes, Mad Dog said.
