Ston Snow 15 Final Chapter ~ The Eve of Parting
Marino's house is in the innermost part of the village, and unlike other people's houses, their house is made of wood, that is, logs are piled up like a wall, and the logs are also connected and fixed with wooden rivets. There were windows and doors, not as rudimentary as the tents of the Bantu people, and the interior of the house was covered with animal skins to keep out the cold.
With a fireplace, bookshelves full of books, and handmade tables, the whole room has the atmosphere of a Western European aristocracy.
Who did Wendy go with to the bedroom, maybe it was the studio! There were many puppet figures in the room, and all kinds of materials were stacked in a mess, making the bed particularly eye-catching.
Seeing that I was very interested in the puppets that had already been completed. Wendy said as she rummaged through something.
"This house belongs to Marino, and this kid has loved to tinker with these things since he was a child. Hey, here!"
In the corner of the room, Wendy pulled out an ornament-like pendant, "This is it!" and turned to hand it to me.
"Is this?" questioned.
"Hey, I made this when I was younger, and it's useless to keep it, just as a thank you gift for your long acquaintance with Marino!" Wendy looked at me and explained the purpose of this thing, "It's not just a pendant, you try to enter the magic power!"
"Oh!"
He took the pendant and tried to input magic power in the palm of his hand, "Click!" With a soft sound, the pendant unfolded, forming a triangular magic shield!
"I see!" I exclaimed.
I now understand that this is a shield generator that was made in the style of a pendant because it was too small. Although the shield generated by this thing is not very strong, it has the advantage that even ordinary people can use it, and there is no cooldown, almost reaching "instantaneous", which is not at all like mages, which requires a lot of training over and over again.
"How could I be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift!" I said, walking over to the table to put things down.
"You just keep it! This thing my mother can do again in the future! If Sister Anna doesn't take it, my mother and I will not be happy!" said Marino, who was standing at the door of the bedroom.
Indeed, I love this little thing too. It has a mechanical exterior that is simple but beautiful, and most importantly, it can save your life at a critical moment.
"Hey, I'll take it!" was my first smile in three days.
"Let's stay and eat! let you taste my mother's grilled fish with secret sauce!" Marina walked up to me and shook my arm.
"Okay!"
It's hard to resist kindness, and if you say no again, it's a bit of a big mess...
It seems that Wendy's house usually has few guests, and Marino seems to be particularly active today, telling stories from his childhood loudly while eating, and occasionally reaching out to make exaggerated gestures...... From time to time, there would be laughter in the house.
"Hahaha!"
I was already laughing so hard that my stomach hurt, "Aunt Wendy, I can't imagine that Marino was so naughty when she was a child!"
"Yes, this kid was very active when he was a child, and he always caused a lot of jokes!" Wendy looked at Marinano with a loving expression.
"What about Sister Anna?" Marina abruptly changed the subject.
"Me?"
Thinking about my childhood memories, the original laughter stopped, "I'm an orphan! I've lived in a convent for as long as I can remember, and my grandmothers raised me!"
"I'm sorry!" Marino said apologetically.
"It's fine!"
Wendy also put away her laughter, "That's why little Anna chose to become an adventurer early?" (I hid my experiences during my time in the Empire from them!)
"Well, you can make more money to supplement the life of the monastery!"
"What a sensible child! It's hard for you!" Wendy stroked my hair.
......
......
After lunch, I left Marino's house, ready to go back to Ximena to see if there were any results, after all, we had been here for a long time, and it was time to leave.
"Anna, why are you here?"
I looked back and saw that it was a strange face, but his dress showed that he was from the village.
"What's wrong? Is there something you're looking for me?"
"Yes, yes, it's Sparrow looking for you!"
What's the matter with this guy looking for me, I looked at the messenger in confusion.
"Go ahead, he'll be on the other side of the martial arts arena!"
"Oh!
I raced all the way to the arena, where she was anxiously waiting.
Seeing me coming, Qiser hurriedly took a cloth bag from his back, took it flat with both hands and handed it to me, "Open it and see if it's suitable!"
I looked at him suspiciously, took the cloth bag, and when I opened it, I found that it was a sword.
Seeing me open the cloth bag, Finser explained, "This is what I found in the past few days running through the whole tribe!
It turns out that this guy is looking for a sword for me, no wonder I haven't seen him recently, and I feel moved when I think about it!
I looked at the sword in my hand carefully, and the body of the sword was emerald green, and the overall feeling was much lighter than the one I had before. Holding the green sword with one hand, he posed casually, closed his eyes and felt it, and the slashing force between the sword body and the arcane was smoother.
Charge up and swing a sword. The air is cut in an instant!(Note that it is cut, not cut)
The finch on the side was also shocked by the facts in front of him, "This guy, this guy, it turns out that he has always retained his strength!"
"Not bad!How much, I'll pay you back when I turn around!" got up and stood up straight, put away the green sword, and turned to look at the dazed Finch.
"No, no, no!" "No, no, no!" "Finch's head shook like a rattle, and his hands swayed from side to side, "This is enough to compensate you for the sword you damaged, no money!"
"Let's go!"
Put the sword down, turn around and go......
"Huh?" said she held out her hand to stop me, "what do you mean?"
"How much?"
"I really don't have to..."
I turned around and prepared to leave.
"Okay! I've lost you!" said Finch after a moment's thought.
I regretted it a little when I heard the price, but I loved the sword very much. Gritting his teeth, he said cheekily, "What, remember first, count me as if I owe you, and I will pay you back to me later!"
"Why are you doing this?" looked at me as she handed over her sword, and when she saw my unhappy expression, she immediately changed the subject, "By the way, when are you leaving?"
"But it's only the last few days!" I said, thinking about it.
"Oh! I won't be able to deliver it then. ”
"Got a mission?"
"Sort of!"
"Then forgive you!"
"Hey, I'll get out of the way."
I waved my hand, "Let's go!"
......
......
By the time I got back to my accommodation, Shimena had already returned. After a few tops, we finally chose to go to Northmar the next morning, and Buwanga personally escorted us, which was much to my surprise.
Seeing my new sword, Ximena was also very interested, and took it in her hand to take a closer look, "Elf Dust!"
"Huh?"
Shimena saw me looking at her, pointed to the sword in her hand and said, "Its name!"
Reaching over to inspect it, the sword was engraved with its name, "Elven Dust", but its abilities lived up to its name.
The night in the north was particularly cold, because she knew that she would leave tomorrow, and after Yani returned, she rested early. The rest of Shimena couldn't sleep because she was on her mind, and I didn't want to.
From time to time, there was a sound of turning over and getting up in the tent......
