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 fell. 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 since she came back and was standing 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 already arrived in the basement, also told Luvia what happened to them 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:

"No need to go to such trouble. I will just peel off the skin on the palm of my hand and soak my hand in the water treated by my thaumaturgy. It will recover before dinner and I won't delay my meeting with Ms. Foran in the evening."

Luvia patted Shade gently:

"What are you talking about? I would rather you have scars than do this."

Before dinner, Shade wanted to go out, but was stopped by Luvia. The reason she gave was that Shade and Megan would go to see Nadia Fallon in the evening. No one knew what would happen then, so it was best to take a rest.

"I'm going to find Margaret. I asked her to help investigate a person's past. I can't see the 'devotee' again until I get the results."

Shade defended, and the purple-eyed girl snorted softly:

"I'm just worried that you won't be able to rest well if you go to see that princess."

So in the remaining hour before dinner, Shade went to the "Brilliant Messenger", and together with Miss Aurora and Miss Elise, met the mermaids who came to help in the dusk fog.

It is indeed not easy for the mermaid girls to avoid the church's detection and enter Moon Bay Port. And when Shade asked the girls with fish tails about Miss Sandel of the fifth era, they heard nothing:

"Sir, our history is more chaotic than the history of mankind."

Said the girl who was probably the leader of this group of mermaids. She had dark red hair, which was different from the red hair of the Cavendish family and the red hair of Miss Danister.

The girl was called "Sibyl" by Miss Aurora. Her level as a ring warlock reached the 12th level and she was the strongest mermaid in this era.

Miss Belindell returned with a group of maids just 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 to the dressing room, Shade was unbuttoning his white shirt. Little Mia was squatting in the coat he had thrown on the bench, using it as a nest, waiting patiently for Shade to take it to eat later. dinner.

"This is my home, I don't care what you do."

Bella Belindel can't control so much this time. As the blonde countess spoke, she reached out and took Shade's right hand, looking at the scar on his palm:

"Really, why are you so careless?"

This tone is definitely not a complaint, but a bit distressed.

Shade noticed that Matilda was following her, but her head was lowered, which was a little different from usual, so he defended:

"When we went out in the afternoon, we originally just wanted to test the [Eternal Light], but we didn't expect to meet the opponent's leader directly. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the other party discovered us because of the weird light talent of the 'Pious Cultivator'.

This kind of unexpected thing is really unavoidable, but look, am I okay? So, it's not my fault or Miss Elington's fault. "

When Shade mentioned her name, the blonde maid looked up at him. And the countess, who is very well versed in the world of people, certainly knows what Shade wants to express:

"You, you, don't always think about speaking for others, really"

She touched the bloody scar on Shade's palm:

"I'll go look for it in the warehouse. There must be a way to remove this scar."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Shade reminded:

"Did Luvia tell you about the [Mirror of Mafalla]?"

"As I said, it's also in the warehouse."

She left resolutely, and Matilda turned around behind her. But before leaving, the maid grabbed the door panel and glanced at Shade again with some melancholy. Shade didn't quite understand the meaning of her eyes.

They were really concerned about the scar on Shade's palm. Although Shade himself felt that the scar would disappear in less than a month or two, or at most half a week, they still thought of various ways.

So that night when everyone gathered in the manor restaurant, Shade had just walked in and saw Grace and Helen holding hands, curiously looking at the little unicorn Liana.

The pure white luminous little beast was standing in front of the window shivering, looking like it wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide and was severely frightened. It struggled to keep its limbs standing, but no matter how Shade looked at it, it seemed like it was about to fall down at any time.

Emilia and Agelina were also nearby, but they seemed hesitant to speak. Because of the Chosen Ceremony, unless there is direct contact, the Red Butterfly girls have no whispering element at all. Agelina had seen them in Green Lake, and the elf girl probably knew the identity of the twin sisters, so she didn't dare to "rescue" little Liana.
