Chapter 2422 Scar
Chapter 2423 Scar
The blonde maid pursed her lips in worry. She didn't care what Shade thought. She just knew that today's trip would bring more troubles and sorrows to the man in front of her.
Although Matilda is not Miss Belinder, it is still easy to divine the sword fragment that just dropped. The broken half of the sword fell into the Tatton River. Although Shade's hands were injured, he still did not let Matilda go into the water. Instead, he went into the water and fished out the sword himself.
Because they were worried that the church's team would arrive soon, they did not stay here long and quickly returned to Belindel Manor.
The first thing she met after coming back was Agelina, who was holding a stack of books and didn't know where she was going. The little princess immediately saw the abnormality in Shade's hands, and then hurriedly went to the house to call someone.
Not long after, Luvia, Megan and Miss Elisa, who were still at the manor and on the boat, all arrived.
They blamed Shade for his carelessness and took Shade for treatment.
After Shade was taken away by the ladies, Tifa appeared from behind Matilda.
The black-haired maid looked at Matilda's expression and fully understood what she was thinking, so Tifa put her hand on Matilda's shoulder:
"Are you blaming yourself for not being of any help, but instead holding yourself back? Don't worry, Shade never cares about this, otherwise our little princess wouldn't be here now."
"I"
Her golden hair covered the side of Matilda's face. She had not changed her clothes after she came back, and she stood in the foyer of the earl's manor in a coarse skirt, which made her look out of place here.
"You feel that your heart is a little confused. You feel that you may have misunderstood him before, and you also understand what he usually does, right?"
The very "understanding" Tifa said with a smile. When she smiles, her dark brown eyes always narrow slightly, which looks very nice.
"Yes."
Matilda admitted, so Tifa took her hand:
"Let's go and change out of these clothes first. I feel that a black and white maid dress is more suitable for us. Tell me about what happened in the afternoon later. Of course, if you need my advice, I will also be happy to help you. "
Matilda took courage and nodded again, then said in a mosquito-like voice:
"He seemed troubled."
Tifa looked at her in surprise, then smiled brightly.
On the other side, Shade, who had arrived in the basement, also told Luvia what happened in the afternoon. He sat on the chair next to the alchemy table in the basement. Meghan was worried and dripped drop by drop of No. 2 holy water on the festering wounds on Shade's hands, and even blew on his wounds from time to time like a child.
Luvia waited until Shade finished speaking before speaking:
"Are you sure that's [Blood Sorrow]?"
"My hand directly touched that sword. Unless Yuewan has another sage-level relic holy sword related to blood, it must be [Blood Sorrow]. I heard my vampire friend describe it The shape of the sword, a rusty sword with cracks and chips on the surface, is unmistakable.”
As he spoke, he shook his hand:
"This is the proof."
"Shadow, don't move!"
Megan said dissatisfied, and then two other hands stretched out from behind her and grabbed Shade's arm to prevent him from moving any further.
"Even by Fifth Age standards, Miss Edwards, you are amazing like this."
The blue-eyed boat girl on the side said, and then asked Xiang Shade:
"So you met the seventh chosen one?"
"Probably yes, and the other party is also the leader of [Eternal Light]."
Shade's brows wrinkled again:
"I really didn't expect it. Although I knew that investigating [Eternal Light] would definitely yield results, I didn't expect it to be like this. But it is reasonable. Although his youthful experience has frustrated him, he is still committed to pursuing justice, and No longer rely on others but yourself.”
The only thing he didn't have time to ask was about the Diamond of Hope, but if this relic was really in the other party's hands, then everything would make more sense.
After all, when Shade first arrived in Moon Bay, Mr. Ptolemy Albert was among the three suspected "soothsayers" he questioned on Herring Street.
This first friend he made in Yuewan turned out to be the end of this story. The time when Mr. Albert came to Moon Bay is consistent with the death time of the vampire that was killed many years ago mentioned by Miss Rice. Mr. Albert's identity is also consistent with the wound of the deceased, which "avoided the fatal position with scalpel-level precision." ".
In addition, the second time Shade "had a sense of guidance" and "guided a hero" was when he had a heart-to-heart talk with the coroner outside the farm, everything is too obvious.
"Okay, the wound has been treated."
Megan said suddenly, and everyone looked at Shade's hand. The festering flesh and blood dissipated the power of the relic because of the holy water, allowing Shade's body's ultra-high-strength self-healing ability to take effect.
In just a few seconds, the wound was completely healed, leaving only two scarlet scars on the palms of his hands.
"This is not a permanent scar. But it is an injury caused by a sage-level relic after all. It will take about a month or two to disappear. I will contact Grandma Cassandra and she should be able to prepare a magic potion to speed up the scar's disappearance."
The two hands behind Megan disappeared, and she said to Luvia.
But Shade shook his head:
"Don't bother. I'll just cut off the flesh on the palm of your hand and soak it in the water treated by my magic. You'll be able to recover before dinner and won't be late for seeing Ms. Foren in the evening."
Luvia patted Shad gently:
"What are you talking about? I'd rather you have scars than do this."
Shad wanted to go out before dinner, but was stopped by Luvia. The reason she gave was that Shad and Megan would go to see Nadia Foren in the evening, and no one knew what would happen then, so it would be better to rest.
"I'm going to find Margaret. I asked her to help investigate someone's past. I have to get the results before I can see the 'devout' again."
Shad argued, and the purple-eyed girl snorted softly:
"I'm just worried that you'll go to see the princess and not rest well."
So Shad went to the "Glorious Messenger" in the remaining hour before dinner, and met the mermaids who came to help in the dusk fog with Miss Aurora and Miss Elisir.
It was not easy for the mermaids to avoid the church's detection and enter Yuewan Port. When Shade asked the girls with fish tails about Miss Shandel in the Fifth Era, they really didn't hear anything: "Sir, our history is more chaotic than human history." The girl who was probably the leader of this group of mermaids said that she had dark red hair, which was different from the red hair of the Cavendish family and Miss Danister. The girl was called "Sybil" by Miss Aurora. Her ring magician level reached 12 rings and she was the strongest mermaid of this era. Miss Belindel returned with a group of maids before dinner. Before Shade went to the restaurant, she found Shade in the dressing room of Luvia's room. "Wait a minute, I'm changing clothes!" When the countess opened the door of the dressing room, Shade was unbuttoning his white shirt, and Mia squatted in the coat he threw on the soft stool and used it as a nest, patiently waiting for Shade to take it to dinner later. "This is my home. I don't care what you do."
Bella Belindel didn't care about that this time. The blonde countess reached out and grabbed Shad's right hand while talking, looking at the scar on his palm:
"Really, why are you so careless?"
This tone was definitely not a complaint, but a little distressed.
And Shad noticed that Matilda was following behind her, but she lowered her head, which was a little different from usual, so he explained:
"We went out in the afternoon, originally just wanting to test the [Eternal Light], but we didn't expect to meet the other party's leader directly. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the other party discovered us because of the strange light talent of the 'Pious Practitioner'.
This unexpected thing is really unavoidable, but you see, I'm fine, right? So, this is not the fault of Miss Ellington and me."
When Shad mentioned her name, the blonde maid looked up at him. The Countess, who was quite familiar with the ways of the world, certainly knew what Shade wanted to say:
"You, don't always think about speaking for others, really."
She stroked the bloody scar on Shade's palm:
"I'll go to the warehouse to look for it, there must be a way to remove this scar."
She turned and left, and Shade reminded:
"Did Luvia tell you about the [Mirror of Mafala]?"
"Yes, it's also in the warehouse."
She left in a swift and decisive manner, and Matilda turned around behind her. But before leaving, the maid grabbed the door panel and looked at Shade again with some melancholy. Shade didn't quite understand the meaning of her eyes.
They really cared about the scar on Shade's palm. Although Shade himself felt that the scar would disappear in half a week at most, not a month or two, they still thought of various ways.
So when everyone gathered in the manor restaurant that night, Shade had just walked in when he saw Grace and Helen holding hands, curiously watching the little unicorn Lianna.
The pure white glowing little beast was trembling in front of the window, looking like it wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide and was seriously frightened. It tried to stand on all fours, but Shade looked like it was about to fall down at any time.
Emilia and Ajelina were also there, but they didn't seem to dare to speak. Because of the Chosen Ceremony, the Red Butterfly Girls had no whispering elements unless they were in direct contact. Ajelina had seen them at Green Lake, and the elf girl probably knew the identities of the twin sisters, so she didn't dare to "rescue" little Lianna.
