Blue Sword

The car drove out of the underground tunnel and entered the bustling downtown area.

After a while, it stopped at the door of a high-rise building.

"We're here!" Nora said, opening the car door and guiding everyone out of the RV.

The attendant standing at the door immediately rushed over to help these guests with their luggage, but the driver quickly shook his head at him in a subtle way.

The attendant immediately returned to his original position and bowed slightly towards Nora who was walking towards him.

Walking into the lobby, a hale old man in a suit and leather shoes walked forward. His white hair was meticulously combed, and his bow was just the right angle. He seemed to be a professional similar to a high-end butler.

"Miss." He bowed and said.

"Arrange it." Nora said.

"Yes." The old housekeeper left immediately.

"Nora, do you live here?" Mi'er held her hand and couldn't help but look around, "It looks like a super high-end apartment!"

There are just a few bunkers. If an enemy attacks, this hall will not be very easy to defend... Mi'er thought subconsciously.

"It's okay." Nora touched her head and said with a smile.

Then she looked around. The layout of the hall was almost the same as when she ran away from home early last year, and there was no change. It was obviously to prevent her from not adapting when she suddenly came back one day.

However, it still feels a little weird... It's too empty. If an enemy attacks from outside, it will be difficult to defend.

"Maxinus?" cried Nora.

"Miss?" The old housekeeper who had just left emerged from nowhere.

"How is the security of the building now?" Nora asked with concern.

"The 'Golden Head' is on duty in the security room next to it 24 hours a day." The old housekeeper didn't understand why the young lady started to care about security issues as soon as she came back from outside, but...

Of course he understood what the lady meant and said, "Are you going to rearrange the layout?"

"I think the front entrance is too spacious," Nora said. "You can see everything when you walk in, which is not good. Can you make some bulletproof glass screens?"

"It's best to reserve side shooting ports." Mi'er interjected.

"Okay, I'll go arrange it." The butler immediately replied.

After saying that, the old housekeeper left quickly again.

"Nora, which floor is your home on?" Mia pressed the elevator button in front and turned around to ask.

"Well, let's go to the 36th floor first." Nora smiled.

It's hard for her to say that the entire "Licinius Building" is her family's property.

The elevator opened and everyone poured into the elevator. The two little girls Mia and Mi'er were particularly excited, while the other girls remained silent, seemingly digesting the information they absorbed along the way.

Soon the elevator reached the 36th floor.

Everyone walked out of the floor and saw that the entire floor... was open.

Directly in front is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows and corridors nearly 100 meters long, with an indoor swimming pool and plant gallery (with various flowers planted inside), as well as a semi-open bar and wine cabinet.

"Wow!" Before Nora could stop them, Mia and Mi'er rushed to the edge of the swimming pool and stretched out their hands to paddle the water inside.

"Can I swim?" The two little girls turned their heads excitedly.

"Of course. If you want to change into a swimsuit, I should have some clothes from my childhood in the cloakroom over there."

Nora took Mia and Mi'er to the next room.

"Then, please feel free to sit down." Ask said this and sat down on the rocking chair next to the plant corridor.

Pushing open the door next to them, Mia and Mi'er couldn't help but say "Wow" again... They were amazed more times today than in the past few months.

However, this cloakroom... is not so much a cloakroom as it is a winding corridor composed of countless wardrobes, almost like the labyrinth of the Minotaur.

Mia and Mier chased and quarreled in the maze, while Nora rummaged for a while and asked:

"Vesta, where's my swimsuit from junior high?"

"In the closet of G-3, Miss Nora." A clear female voice sounded from the speaker in the room.

So Nora went to the closet at the end of the corridor and opened the door. There were nearly a hundred student swimsuits of various styles inside.

"Mia, Mi'er!" She called over her shoulder, "Come here and pick out the style you like."

When the two little girls finished dressing and were led out by Nora, they saw Sheila and Eleanor wearing VR headsets watching a movie outside, while Hilda and Medea were sitting at the semi-open bar. Drink whiskey.

Ask was lying on the rocking chair next to the plant corridor and had fallen asleep comfortably. Peggy stood obediently behind him, pushing the rocking chair back and forth rhythmically.

Mia and Mi'er cheered and jumped into the swimming pool, with large splashes of water splashing onto the marble floor.

Medea next to the bar waved to her and said with a smile:

"Want a drink?"

"Okay." Nora said with a smile.

She opened the door of the wine cabinet next to her, took out a bottle from it, gestured and asked, "Sparkling wine?"

"Whatever." Medea smiled.

"Do you also drink?" Seeing Nora pouring a drink for the two of them, Hildrifa asked in surprise, "Nora, I thought you were the kind of good girl at home."

"There is no conflict between the two." Nora replied, "In our family, tasting famous wines is one of the courses I learned when I was a child. It was mainly to have something to talk about when socializing with others."

"It's understandable." Medea put her chin on one hand and said with a smile, "Just like we have to memorize religious scriptures over there, it's also to establish common interests in the social circle."

"Are you apostate from the teachings?" Nora suddenly reacted, "Medea, your teachings are about abstaining from drinking, right?"

"Yes." Medea raised her glass and took a sip, "That's why breaking the rules is fun."

Nora:………………

"Speaking of which, have you noticed Eleanor's condition?" Medea said softly, shaking the wine in the glass carelessly.

"You mean..." Nora asked cautiously.

"The relationship between her and Ask has been drawn closer." Medea took another sip. "Although I can't read minds, there are some things that can be seen from the subtle expressions and movements. It should be the result of the rescue. Maybe. There’s no telling what happened between them.”

"If this is the case, Ellie will definitely tell me." Nora said firmly.

"Oh, Nora." Medea snorted coldly, "Don't forget that in the face of love, even a lifelong best friend may not..."

"Hey, I think you've changed a bit." Seeing Nora's hesitant expression, Sidrifa suddenly interrupted Medea, "You've been talking less and less recently."

"Yes." Nora also agreed, "People also feel a lot gloomier. Is it because of the fusion of blood?"

"That's right." Medea drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and put the glass down. "I just suddenly understood a lot of truths."

"For example?" Hidrifa asked.

"For example, a person who pretends to be asleep can never be woken up." Medea looked at Ask on the rocking chair opposite and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Nora asked.

"Want another glass?" Medea smiled without saying a word and raised the cup again.
