Chapter 1932 Barbara’s Remaining Power
Unlike Fort Vicky, noon in Moonlight City is leisurely and quiet.
A cup of black tea, a few snacks, and the crisp chirping of birds will make you feel like you are in a fairyland.
Princess Analita was rummaging through a box full of dresses, selecting the patterns and jewelry she liked, then cutting them out with scissors and decorating them on her clothes.
This kind of wasteful behavior is one of the few pleasures she has.
Princess Analetta kept looking for small handicrafts. She loved these gadgets made by the goblins, especially brain-burning things like nine-link rings and machine locks.
Although she often racked her brains and couldn't figure it out, she just liked it, and the more she racked her brains, the more she liked it. This rare behavior with a bit of masochistic complex puzzled me very much.
Mr. Taylor was sitting in the backyard, holding a wine bottle in one hand and the Sword of Victory and Oath in the other. He tutted: "Yes, yes, your printing skills have reached its peak. It has completely changed the decoration of this sword beyond recognition." Not to mention Trika, who has never seen the artifact itself, even if the original owner of this sword saw it, he would regard it as a high imitation that costs thirty copper coins a piece at the flea market."
After listening to the old man’s comments, I was a little embarrassed: “Is it really that bad? My printing level?”
"It's okay, it's not too bad," the old man said, "I've seen worse things than this, but later I heard that the man switched to painting."
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Let me ask you, you bastard, who are you going to use it for?"
"Emily," I said, "Besides her, who else in the family uses a sword?"
"If it is to be given to Emily, there is still some risk," the old man said: "After all, Emily is Anasta's personal guard, and Anasta is very close to Trika. If anything happens, Occasionally, Trika may discover it.”
"What should I do?" I wondered.
"If you ask me, just hang it on the wall as a wall decoration."
"This is not possible." I rejected the old man's idea on the spot: "This is a veritable artifact, and it can even glow when you hold it!"
With that said, I took over the Sword of Victory and Oath and showed the old man how it glowed.
However.
"Ah? No, it was clearly emitting a soft halo before."
I muttered in confusion, and at the same time turned the artifact over and looked at it, but I couldn't see the light from before.
"This is wrong! There must be something wrong!" I vowed: "When we were on the airship before, it was still glowing!"
"Well, I believe you." The old man waved his hand to signal me to calm down, then took a sip of wine and said, "I believe it can definitely shine, but you printed too many patterns on it, almost covering it all. Even if it emits light, you can’t see it.”
"Hey, look at me, how could I have forgotten this!" Patting my head, I said embarrassedly: "Well, the light has been blocked, how can it be released! But this time it is finally I’m completely relieved, even if the Queen Grandma questions it, as long as you can’t see its light, there’s no way to determine its identity.”
"If you don't get in touch with it in depth, your method is really good."
"It would be great if that's the case." I breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandma Queen will never pay attention to a knight's long sword that looks like a knockoff."
"She really doesn't know what she said." The old man gave me reassurance: "The superiority of her family's bloodline determines that she will never be able to look directly at the counterfeit goods in her life, even if the inside of this counterfeit goods is a genuine artifact."
With the old man's words, I finally felt relieved.
If there is anyone who is most familiar with the Fairy Queen in the world, it must be Taylor.
With the arrival of dusk, the Fearless Guild and his team took the lead to return home. After seeing me, Phoenix cheered in surprise and rushed towards me, but she was still a step too late and was taken advantage of by little Remi who flew directly over. .
Little Remi sat on my shoulders as usual, holding my hair with her little hands and giggling non-stop.
Phoenix was much more polite than she was. He just hugged my arm quietly and kept looking at me, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
I'm used to this feeling of being watched, so I don't feel any embarrassment or discomfort.
The others greeted me first, and then gathered in front of the three wooden boxes to divide the contents.
Various snacks are the most popular, followed by accessories and jewelry on clothes. The least popular ones are the decorations and jewelry that are expensive and have no practical use.
Cagalli carried a string of pearls and sat down on the sofa. She held the round milky white pearls in front of her eyes and kept the pearls in a straight line with the magic stone lamp.
After staring at it for a while, she said doubtfully: "I heard before that the light from the magic stone lamp can pass through pearls, but now it seems that it is pure fiction."
"Of course," I said, "rumors and market rumors, if only 50% of them are true, that's pretty good."
"So the truth rate is so high!" Cagalli nodded, suddenly placed the pearl necklace on the coffee table, clenched her fist and was about to smash it down.
"Hey wait!" I quickly stopped her: "What are you doing?"
Cagalli looked at me seriously: "There are rumors that pearl powder can be used for skin care and beauty. Since its true rate is so high, I want to try it."
"You can go to the drugstore to buy it, why bother smashing this pearl necklace?"
"There are rumors that the pearl powder sold in pharmacies is mixed with flour and is impure." As she spoke, Cagalli raised her voice: "Does anyone want this pearl necklace?"
"We'll do it later." Yura picked a brooch, pinned it on his clothes, and said slowly: "What if Barbara wants it, and if you smash it without asking her for her opinion, everyone will be in trouble tonight. No need to sleep anymore.”
"Hey, she dares!" Cagalli spoke boldly, but stopped moving her hands. After thinking again and again, she picked up the pearl necklace, threw it away, and threw it into the box. Finally, she clapped her hands and said, "What a shame. It’s not that I’m afraid of the short-breasted cat, but that I have to compromise for the sake of everyone.”
"The president is wise!" Kunna whispered.
"Long live the president!" Maggie raised her arms and shouted.
After a while, everyone picked out what they liked and returned to the room happily. Then I stood up and walked out leisurely.
"Where are you going?" Cagalli asked casually, playing with a sapphire.
I didn't look back and said, "Go find Yang Guo and the others. Good things must be shared with everyone."
Yang Ji, Liu Yu, Duan Muyu and others who grew up in the slums have finally become prosperous since they joined the Fearless Guild and moved to Moonlight City.
But even so, in front of the mountains of treasures, they still stood there, their hands and feet trembling slightly, and they were at a loss.
