Chapter 1,190: Asking for the Sword
The old housekeeper explained the matter clearly without any tact. It was obvious that he didn't want to interfere too much.
This is understandable. After all, he is a vassal of Marquis Balan, not someone else's. Regardless of salary, fiefdom, food and drink expenses, they all paid for it themselves. Strictly speaking, Lin is the one who eats and drinks. But for a man who is a teacher, if he takes something from his apprentice, it’s not considered as free money, it’s called tuition.
Putting aside his status in the family for the time being, Lin was mentally prepared for the Holy Sword Society's visit. After all, Duke Kawei had already given him a reminder a long time ago.
But even if he knew that the other party would come, he couldn't make much preparation. What will be the attitude of the Holy Sword Club? Is filling out a form considered as approval, or does it have to go through a series of tests? Can the other party be reasonable and negotiate terms? Or do you have a condescending attitude, as long as others cooperate and don't listen to other people's explanations?
Even with Kaya's forum search method, there is no way to get this information. This can only be said that the coverage of Midi's network knowledge is not comprehensive enough to know everything.
In fact, this is the same on earth. It just means that some knowledge has been artificially hidden, whether it is network censorship or the existence of the so-called "dark web". Some are so old that there are no willing porters to get them online.
"The First Clan"
In short, when such a guest comes, he can only meet him in person before he can formulate the next plan. As for meeting to kill or something like that, that approach is too dark and not his style.
Wearing Xuanwu robe is formal and safe enough, but there is no need to change to meet guests. But just now we were at an altitude of more than 9,000 meters. The wind there was strong, so we still had to tidy up our appearance.
Lin asked the Marquise's old housekeeper to receive the guests first, and he would arrive soon after. With this promise as a foundation, I think this noble butler will be able to deal with those guests better.
Since he was in his own home and faced with guests who were meeting him for the first time, Lin did not use the flash technique to scare people. Instead, they use formal aristocratic etiquette and enter the reception room to meet the guests under the guidance of the waiter. As for why in the territory of magicians, they play the role of nobles. It can only be said that the main servants in this family are all from noble families, so it is natural to be affected in this way.
It was just the first meeting, and the atmosphere was not pleasant. It may be that the previous waiting has worn out the patience of the guests of the Holy Sword Club; or maybe they have such an aggressive attitude. In short, before Lin could say any polite words, someone pointed at him and said, "Magician, you are not qualified to hold the Haggiri clan's artifact. Please hand over the Haggiri in your hand."
Lin's face froze at such a direct attitude, and all the polite words he wanted to say were blocked in his mouth. But the matter was not over yet. As if they already knew the attitude of their companions, the guests of the Holy Sword Club calmly adjusted their positions and quietly moved their hands to a position where they could quickly draw their swords.
All of this is done very secretly, and even from ordinary people's perspective, there is no clue.
But what kind of person is Lin, and what are the levels of the top fighters who appear around him? He has long regarded the characteristics and habits of these masters as part of his judgment of the environment, and can easily judge the movement status of his opponent's muscles. Confirm the possible behavior of the other party with the position where you can exert force.
only……
After a moment of hesitation, Lin reached out and pulled out the hakakiri from under his left shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll hand the weapon to you."
…
For the target person to disarm him so simply, the three members of the Holy Sword Club didn't know what to do. Fen, who had just returned, was also standing at the door of the reception room. She wanted to go in to support someone, but her feet froze in mid-air.
Although Lin handed over the box, he realized that no one was willing to take it, so he put it on the table in the living room, then sat on the sofa on the other side and asked the waiters to bring coffee. There has just been a cold wind blowing high in the sky, so it would be nice to drink some hot drinks. As for the fact that no one dared to take the Hakakiri from their hands, they were probably afraid of causing harm in the process of changing hands and killing them several times. So I just took the initiative to let it go.
The richly dressed nobleman who led the Holy Sword Club said with a strange expression: "You...really handed over the weapons of the Haggiri clan just like that? Could this be a lie?"
"The ones you brought are genuine. Then you still don't know whether that one is a hakakiri." The magician sitting on the sofa pointed at the unsheathed long swords on the waists of the three guests. . Then he asked: "Or do you think I have a second Hakakiri? I'm afraid I won't be crazy if I have a second weapon like this."
"Well, then, shall we take it away?" The nobleman in rich clothes asked tentatively while reaching for the hakakiri dagger placed on the table.
After Lin took the hot coffee from the waiter, he waved his hand and said, "Take it. Once you have taken it, please leave. I won't leave you to eat." The intention of seeing off guests was quite obvious.
He stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed the hakakiri dagger on the table. The richly dressed nobleman and the two companions accompanying him all had expressions of disbelief. This is really because they have seen too many incredible things.
First of all, this box-cut dagger was drawn from a scabbard under the magician's left shawl. Scabbard, this is something that is unimaginable for a magic weapon of the Hakakiri clan.
Furthermore, the Holy Sword will capture so many magical weapons of the Haggiri clan, and I have never encountered such a person who would hand them over so simply. It means that the holder is a magician, which is also rare.
Anyone who is qualified to hold a hakakiri is a strong warrior. Although some magicians are good at fighting skills, in their eyes, there is still a gap between them and real warriors. This is also a big reason for them to directly say that someone is not qualified.
Thirdly, this kind of sword with a blade less than the length of a hand and with so many withered patterns on the sword is really the first time the Hakiri clan has seen it. Flashy is the first impression in the minds of the three people. If it weren't for the Haggiri long sword he carried with him, he would have confirmed that the short sword in front of him was indeed a member of their clan. The three members of the Holy Sword Club all thought that this magician just used a short sword to bluff people.
As for the impolite farewell behavior, it's really not a big deal. Now that Haggiri has been recovered, the three members of the Holy Sword Club have never thought of staying and accepting the hospitality of a 'magician'. If he was given the chance to poison him, wouldn't he be too stupid to die?
Moreover, once the things were obtained, the purpose of the three people's stay was gone. The previous waiting consumed too much of their patience. Now they didn't even think about saying any more nonsense. The three people with their eyes high above their heads just turned around and left. That nobleman in fine clothes also knew that he performed a standard noble etiquette before leaving. This is just to prove to outsiders that I am not rude, and it doesn't mean much.
