Chapter Twenty-Three: New Rumors
Time has passed, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered the early winter.
During this time, snow fell in the city of St. Valentine, and the sky and earth were painted white.
One cold morning, before dawn, the silver-haired young girl was still sleeping in the warm room, but on the training ground by the castle, there were two figures already standing here.
These are two figures, one large and one small.
In the world of silver, the two people dressed in black and white maid outfits seem to be one with heaven and earth.
However, the fluttering maid outfit, lace embellished with lace, and light and elastic stockings did not play a role in the cold wind of early winter.
The smaller girl, Sally, stood for a moment in the cold wind and then shakily a little.
But she quickly straightened up again, and the heat from the necklace on her chest gave her tremendous support. But now, she doesn't have the energy to pay attention to the necklace that has already brought her countless surprises.
At this moment, she was holding a sword with a solemn expression, a rapier that was very common among the nobility.
"Everything else can be learned slowly, but from now on, you can try to ...... with your sword Heart-to-heart. Ellie's voice came from the side, and at this time, she was also holding a thin sword that she usually didn't know where to receive.
In the falling snow, she began to dance.
The sword light is like electricity, and the sword shadow is like a rainbow.
With the girl's flying posture, the sword body that couldn't see the shadow sometimes let out a clear clangling sound, and sometimes let out a whining whisper.
If you complain, you will cry like a complaint.
"This ritual is what we call tuning. Tuning allows the Blade-Dancer to hear the song of the blade, which gives us a high spirit, and under the influence of the song, our attack speed, accuracy, and power can be greatly improved. β
Before she could finish speaking, Elle appeared next to Sally, but strangely, the sword dance in the field did not stop.
Sally looked intently, and indeed, the thin sword, which had escaped from its master's hand, still followed a peculiar rhythm, dancing in the wind and in the snow, like a fairy.
"This is a high-level application of the Dancing Sky Sword - Sword Dance. After being tuned by the sword dancer, the sword can be removed from the master's hand and move according to the master's will. β
"Sword song and sword dance. Elle looked at the girl shivering in the cold wind and said slowly, "These are the two most basic and important skills of the sword dancer profession. β
"Of course, this is too early for you, before that, it is better to familiarize yourself with the sword in your hand. β
"That'...... How, exactly?" asked Sally expectantly.
"First of all, swing the sword three hundred times. β
......
It was already dark, and Sally, who had finished practicing her sword, still had to finish her work as a maid, and Ellie had already arrived in front of Enid's room.
"Today, let's meet that mercenary group again!" said Silver Fur in high spirits after breakfast, completely unable to see the reluctance when he was just called to get up.
But Ellie didn't complain or complain about anything, and when she heard Enid's orders, she went about making arrangements for the tripβto inform the butler and even the Count himself, to arrange for the accompanying guards, and so on.
It is impossible for a child of a noble family to go out of the house but no one knows where to go, so there are those romantic love stories that are circulated among the people, in which the noble lady eloped with a commoner youth -- it is precisely because of the challenge that there is a yearning! If the noble lady can casually run out on the street alone, then it is not a very strange thing that she has disappeared, eloped, and been trafficked.
It's still Storm Street, it's still Pigs & Whistles Tavern, Guns & Roses mercenary regiments have been dormant in St. Valentine for more than a month, what are they waiting for?
Standing in front of the tavern door, Enid thought.
During this time, a handful of adventurers had left, either trying their luck and heading to the mountains to the west, or abandoning where they had returned, but at the same time, the influx of adventurers from other places into the city had not been missing.
Even if the big guys standing behind them do nothing, things will probably continue until the end of this winter, until the beginning of spring next year, when the adventurers and mercenaries will leave.
The old bar, the wide wine glasses, the smoky fireplace, the tavern is still the same...... Noisy and noisy.
Enid frowned as soon as she walked in, but for many adventurers, walking into the tavern would give her a sense of home.
It's no wonder that in many stories, the tavern has always been the starting point for a great adventure.
The little girl soon found her target, and William, who was sitting in the corner, silently drinking ale, also saw the silver hair.
"Here you are, Miss Noble. "When I saw Enid, the other party didn't seem to be very surprised. "I wonder what happened today?"
It's just that the tone is still as uncomfortable as ever.
Enid sat across the table.
"I don't like to go around in circles," the little girl asked straight to the point, "why haven't you gone yet?"
"Didn't you come here looking for a job? So, this month, did you find it?" said Enid with the excuse he had used to prevaricate himself.
"Time, please give us a little more time. William said with a pleading expression, "Do you want to drive us away in such weather?"
"What if I say yes?" said Enid.
Seeing that the trick of pretending to be pitiful and gaining sympathy didn't work for the little girl, William's eyes rolled: "In this way, how about I exchange a secret that you absolutely want to know, young lady, for the power we stay here?"
"It's already winter, do you know why so many adventurers have been pouring into the city lately?"
Could it be that there is something inside that she doesn't know? The little young girl who originally wanted to refuse hesitated.
"Actually, this is the case, the previous rumor has a new content, those ancient tombs that hide magic weapons are actually the resting place of a legendary mage of the Noble family, where there are not only all kinds of magical magical equipment, but even the inheritance of a legendary mage......"
When people hear rumors about themselves, their first reaction is often anger, but if the rumors are absurd to a certain extent, it is easy to make people laugh.
That's the case with Enid now.
If the Noble family really had a legendary mage, how could she not know about it? She actually knew more about some of the family's secret past than anyone else. Not only because of the books in the family, but also because she knows very well the true origin of the family's dependence, the Golem Legion.
