Chapter 161: Real Name and Real Name
El's first reaction when he woke up was a heavy sneeze, the strong smell of herbs filling his nostrils, causing him to feel a wave of nausea in his throat and eyes. He opened his eyes and found himself still lying in the bathing barrel, his whole body soaked in the black-brown herbal juice that exuded a strong pungent smell, perhaps because someone kept adding it, and the water was still hot.
Shaking his head and pouring out the medicine in his ears, the memory of last night gradually became clear in El Ner's head. Under the circumstances, of course, he and Tiana did not have the courage to refuse an invitation from a would-be Swordmaster, so they could only put away their minions and try to show humility. But unexpectedly, the eldest lady actually looked very talkative, not only woke up the servants in her castle in the middle of the night to serve the two of them, but also personally boiled healing herbal juice for El. Gu herself said that it was the secret healing formula of the Beifeng family, regardless of whether it was true or not, but the effect on healing was indeed immediate.
The hot potion quickly loosened El's muscles, causing him to fall asleep involuntarily. By the time he opened his eyes, the night had passed, and through the early morning light, he could still hear the chirping of cuckoo birds. El didn't dream during the night, but he felt that his mind and body had fully recovered, and not only that, but he also faintly felt that under the stimulation of this potion, his physical qualities had improved slightly.
Although this improvement is very weak, but El can't help but be envious and jealous, just a bath can strengthen the body, the eldest lady doesn't know how many years of potion she has soaked since she was a child, and the quality of her body can be imagined.
El moved his hands and feet, and found that there was no serious problem, so he couldn't wait to jump out of the barrel, he pulled a towel from the shelf next to him, wiped his body around, and looked up to see a new set of neat and tidy clothes placed in the doorway.
Although that set of clothes looks like just an ordinary set of casual clothes, it is also a costume that belongs to the nobility, and there will be some attention to it in terms of wearing. The size of the clothes was just right for El, but he hadn't worn anything of this grade before. After ten minutes of hard work, El finally gave up the unbuttoned shirt on his chest, revealing his tight vest and muscular curves as underwear. He reached out and made a gesture above his head, and little Langa flew down the beam of the roof, burrowed down his arm into the neckline behind El, and fixed El's ribs with four lower limbs, and then his whole body began to flatten and gradually shrink to the point where it was not obvious from the outside.
El pushed open the door and saw a corridor with no head or tail visible at either end. When he came here last night, his eyes were covered in blood, and the lights were dim, so he couldn't see anything clearly. It was only during the day that I noticed that the walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with ornate tapestries depicting brightly colored battle scenes, one of which must have had a sword in his hand.
He heard a scream, followed by the sound of a wooden basin falling to the ground. El looked back and saw a little maid crouching on the ground with a panicked look, clumsily trying to grab the tub that was dripping and spinning on the ground.
"Ah, so you've woken up!" Feeling El's gaze, the little maid's face suddenly turned red, she threw away the tub, stood up and coughed, pulled up the corner of her skirt and bowed her head, and said, "Miss has commanded, if you wake up and are fine, I will take you to her." ”
"No problem, those herbs are really effective, I am fully recovered now, I have to personally express my gratitude to the young lady. El moved his arm and smiled at the little maid, "Did you prepare this suit for me? I don't know what to call you?"
"Ah...... That one...... I'm just Miss's maid, just call me Kiki. Hearing El talk about the clothes, the little maid's face turned even redder, and she nodded at El in a panic and turned away, looking like a very shy little girl.
"Miss Kiki, I wonder where the companion who came with me last night is now?" El asked as she followed Kiki and waited until she looked a little calmer.
"You're talking about Miss Lanstadt, who is now having breakfast with her. The abrasions on the young lady's body were not serious, and as for the problem of mental exhaustion, she also recovered after resting. Although there are no magicians in Sword Castle, the young lady has already invited the high priest of the Temple of Lud'en to examine the two of them. As she spoke of these things, the little maid immediately became talkative, and looked quite professional.
"Well, I was so flattered to be so well received. El half-narrowed his eyes and said casually. Although this little maid looked weak and timid, it could be heard from her tone that this little girl's status in the castle was definitely not low. If it weren't for the lady's personal maid, how could she have shown such professional qualities?
Of course, the actual identity of this little maid is not something that El needs to care about, what really caught his attention was the key word Ludern Temple that the little maid blurted out just now?
The Sword Castle, which is famous for its swordsmanship, has chosen the protection of the god of wealth, which may sound like a joke. However, considering that the gems produced in Sword Keep are luxury, and the northern part of the Oakland Kingdom as a whole is in a state of scarcity of divine graces, it is not surprising that the temple of Ludern was built.
El didn't know much about the Ludern Temple, but the sect impressed him because during his time in Eastalen, the mysterious Darkmoon Church maiden Shirley single-handedly burned down the entire Ludern Temple. Later, when Shirley continued to clear out the cursed cultists' spies, he followed behind to learn a little bit of the inside story.
"That's a ...... What bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have all come together. El had a thought in his heart, but his face did not show it, but suddenly patted his head and said, "Ah, by the way, there is one more important thing that I almost forgot, I still don't know what to call that young lady!"
"Huh?" The little maid was stunned for a moment, stopped a little at a loss, and turned back suspiciously and asked, "Don't you know who the young lady is?"
"I know who your young lady is, but I don't know her name. El smiled bitterly and said, "After meeting in a while, I can't call her Miss Sword Castle, or Miss North Wind or something, right?"
"Ah...... Ahh......h No, the master said that the name of the young lady cannot be revealed to the outside world, no, no, no, no, no......" Kiki shook her head, a little confused and distressed to herself for a long time, came back to her senses and asked El seriously: "Mr. El, do you know Elfish?"
"What?elf?" El blinked his eyes and said with an innocent face, "I'm sorry I grew up in the countryside and can't even read the words of the human lingua franca, what are you talking to me?"
The little maid suddenly showed a relieved look on her face, and then returned to her smile and said to Elle: "I should say sorry, because the name of the young lady has a special taboo, and you can't tell others casually, and please don't spread it outside." If you're going to talk to Miss, call her Miss Diana and you'll be fine. ”
"Tiana?" El subconsciously repeated, suddenly realizing that the name was particularly familiar, and it sounded similar to the Dancing Light Serpent Miss in his own family, but as soon as he swallowed it, he immediately pronounced it crookedly.
"There's a difference, please look at my mouth. The little maid slowed down rather earnestly and repeated, this time El heard it very clearly, the name actually had seven different scales, but together they sounded similar to Tiana, and if you were someone with less keen hearing, you might not notice the difference at all.
"Uh...... With all due respect, the name is actually quite ordinary, is there any allusion that I don't know?" El asked with a blank expression, and then saw the little maid's expression more relaxed. He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, regretting the girl's innocence.
Although it is true that he has little culture, he is not ignorant of the details of the language, and he has studied the Gogar language for a period of time in Master Stephen's mage Tari in order to master the power of runes. An ordinary person may not understand this kind of pronunciation trick even if he hears it, but he can at least grasp the subtle changes in it and go back and look up the encyclopedia of human form. I believe that with the amount of knowledge of Lorana, a mere elf language should not be a problem.
"You just have to call Miss Diana, that's how it should be pronounced according to the lingua franca. Perhaps seeing that El was wearing clothes with a donkey's lips on the horse's mouth, and confirming that he did not look like a literate scholar, Kiki let down her guard, and only repeatedly asked El to keep his mouth shut along the way.
In fact, if she didn't emphasize it, El really wouldn't care about this small detail, but the little maid's solemnity had the effect of wanting to cover up, and successfully aroused Eyre's curiosity.
The rest of the distance is not far away, the Sword Castle itself is not a large-scale city, and the castle of the North Wind family naturally looks small and exquisite, just after a few words, Kiki took him to the outside of the restaurant, picked up the corner of his skirt and stood to the side, and motioned for El to enter alone.
The maid at the door lifted the white curtain that blocked her view, and El immediately felt a pair of bright eyes cast on her. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
