Elves of Lake Libita 2

Two-two swords and girls

When loyd opened the door, he saw Xilu sitting sleepily in front of the dresser and couldn't help looking out of the window. The shadow of the sun is still a little blurred...

"Why did you get up so early, Xilu? It seems that everyone hasn't got up yet.

"Well...because you didn't sleep well... comb my hair quickly..."

Xilu said plausible lines, shaking her small head, and her long golden hair danced with scattered dances. It seemed that she didn't sleep well...

"But... today is an important day, and Xilu also needs to cheer up." Loyd had a hard time combing her messy long hair:

"Today's hair seems to be particularly scattered. Did you have a nightmare yesterday?"

"Well... I can't remember anything... It's just insomnia..."

"That's really bad. It will hurt your health. You see, you have lost so much hair..."

"Oh..." Xilu turned her head in a panic and found that it was just a joke of loyd, and she couldn't help poking:

"It's so annoying... tease me early in the morning..."

"However, if you are always so casual, it will really become a reality. In that case, I will be very uneasy."

"He can only say nice things...cunning guy..."

It was a little awkward, and the sleepiness also woke up a little.

"Well...loyd, do you think...you seem to have changed a little..."

"I... have changed a little?"

"Well... I always thought you could only laugh and be silent, but... I just found out yesterday that you would be angry, and today I found that you would joke..."

"Ah... I don't know about this... I just think it should be done at this time. This may be just my wrong reaction..."

"Obviously, it's a normal instinct... Honesty has not changed..." Xilu muttered in her heart. However, it's rare to see his nervous appearance, which is really wonderful...

"Are you satisfied with the comb? Because I have to train today, I'm worried that the bangs in front of your forehead will affect my eyes, so I made my own decision.

"Well...that's good...as long as you combed it..." Xilu casually agreed and stood up:

"Then I'll change my clothes first, and you can help me buy a sword in the arsenal on the other side of the square. Your vision must be better than mine. Then we are in the restaurant... I don't like things that are too sweet and too spicy, as well as fish, pork, beef, mutton, radish, potatoes, green peppers... I don't need milk, juice... Anyway, just tell the chef and he will prepare it for me..."

Loed listened to her instructions carefully, and then answered with a joke:

"Almost no nutrition has been supplemented, so you can't sleep well at night. And this is also not good for your body development..."

Xilu subconsciously stared at her "washing board" figure, and then raised her head red to prepare for a seizure, but loyd had already left the room as expected.

"What nutritional problems, body development... I don't know how to measure, this guy who has an inch..."

However, it is a little frustrating to think of the gap with Lulu in figure:

"Isn't it... only that figure can attract people... That must be just a one-sided statement! The size of the chest has nothing to do with the value of people..."

The arsenal is located 200 meters behind the bulletin board of Hereige Square. It is a stylish and somewhat old house. Because it is blocked by the sun in the teaching area in front of it, it looks a little dark. Because most students don't know how to use iron blades, except for people like Xilu who are used to making swords, they rarely visit this place full of metal smell. After determining that it was an arsenal according to the sign at the door, loyd reached out and knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he used a little more strength, but the door opened.

"Excuse me, I want to buy a sword..." loyd loudly reported his purpose, but no one answered.

"Is there no one..."

When he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a gloomy "waiting for a long time", and then a thin old man of about 60 flashed from the dark of the room. That situation is like meeting an ancient corpse that suddenly woke up in an ancient tomb. If it were Xilu, she might be so scared that she would turn around and run away.

"Excuse me, I want to buy a sword..." loyd affirmed his intention again. With his personality, he won't be afraid even if he really meets a ghost. What's more, he is just a living person who looks like a ghost.

"If you don't tell me, you know that people who come here won't come for tea. It seems that you are not those rich people who can only do magic. They will never cast their noble eyes on this dark corner..."

"Oh..."

"Isn't that a question? The king waved his scepter and the magician sang spells. Of course, you are the only fools who will come to choose these irons.

"That's what I said... The next name is loyd, Miss Xilu's knight..."

"Oh...loyd...you are the guy who tied with the boasted Xilu and then set off fireworks at night that made us unable to sleep..."

The old man sat down casually in the chair behind the counter without surprise, not to mention admiration:

"Today's young people will only make trouble for others and will not consider other people's feelings at all. Say 'nobility don't need this kind of barbarism', and then wave that useless wooden stick to make trouble. Otherwise, they will take these swords for a boring duel, throw them at the door and wait for them to return to the furnace... What a group of self-righteous and incurable..."

was inexplicably satirized. Although loyd was a little unclear, he did not say a word. It seemed that the guest was not as arrogant as those rich families, and the old man's tone also eased:

"It doesn't make sense for unrelated guests to talk so much. It's rude. So what kind of sword do you want?"

"Because it's a female sword... Do you have any good recommendations?"

"You asked me?" The old man's unhappy face:

"Isn't it you who wants to buy a sword?"

"Because your experience will be much deeper than mine, your vision will naturally be sharper than mine."

"Well, although I don't like to listen to this kind of flattery, since you said so, let me do you a favor. There are not many young people like you now, and there may be sundries that suit your taste..."

The old man turned into the inner room, and then there was a messy metal impact sound. Probably because no one is visiting, just pile up the swords together at will. A few minutes later, the old man came out with two swords:

"After all, I'm old, and I can't tell which one is suitable... Hey, just take a look at it for yourself. Although it's not the magic swords commonly used by rich families, it's not inferior in actual combat."

Both are thin and light swords commonly used by women. They are completely different in workmanship and can be called twin sisters. Although they are not as gorgeous as Xilu's original magic sword, the luster of the sword body can still be eye-catching. Loyd sometimes raised the two swords in front of him and looked at them carefully, and sometimes waved them alternately, as if he could not tell which was better or worse. The old man couldn't help narrowing his eyes;

"What's the matter? Are you as dazzle as me and can't see the truth? I thought your eyesight should be good..."

"There are still the most effective methods, but I feel embarrassed. If you don't care..."

"Oh? If there is really the way you said, you don't have to worry about anything at all. Originally, you came to choose the most suitable weapon..."

After getting the old man's permission, loyd held two swords in both hands, first gently hit each other, and then cut each other hard. One of them broke in response.

"This is it." Loyd put the intact weapon in front of him. The old man was stunned:

"What have you done?"

"I just checked their broken lines. As a result, the intact sword could not find a trace of broken lines, and the broken sword was simply a decoration.

"What a great practice, at least it's the first time I've seen..." The old man's tone was quite moved:

"People who thought that they knew the quality and value of the sword were about to disappear. I didn't expect that there was still a genius like you who could understand so thoroughly... Well, this sword will certainly be proud of it..."

"However, I'm really sorry for losing you..." loyd bent down to apologize, and the old man just waved his hand casually:

"Where, it's you, which opened my eyes today. I'll give you that sword. Gold coins and so on will only damage its real value... Anyway, can you show me your sword? I seem to think it's a little familiar.

loyd pulled out his sword and handed it to the old man. After looking carefully for a while, the old man's originally gray and lazy eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement:

"Oh... So it's it... No wonder... Hahaha... Of course, the only one that suits it best is you, young man... I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime..."

"What's wrong? Are you saying that my sword is extraordinary? Loyd was surprised by the old man's fierce reaction.

"It seems that you don't know yet... Then you will naturally understand everything in the future." The old man returned the sword to Loed, but never talked about the topic just now:

"Blessings, I saw so many memorable things today... Well... It's time to celebrate with a good drink... Hey! Shirley! Buy me some wine! Shirley!"

After calling loudly several times, there was finally a loud answer:

"Are you going to have an old problem again, Grandpa! Didn't you say you couldn't drink any more!"

"Lessly! How can you do without wine when you are happy! Little girl, don't talk too much! Go and get ready now!"

"No matter what reason you find, it just doesn't work!"

In response, there was a 15-year-old girl, who should be the granddaughter of the old man called Shirley. Although wearing a civilian's coarse cloth clothes, his youthful and round face is still touching and energetic under pink wavy hair. At this moment, she was staring at the old man with her eyes wide open:

"Don't forget that the money we have left is only enough for three or five days! He often says he is happy, and then he wants to drink. If it goes on, he will be hungry! So no matter what you say, it's useless!"

"Ah... Don't you listen to Grandpa when you grow up? There's really nothing you can do... Why do young people nowadays have this attitude..." The old man lamented loudly.

" Speaking of which, there are guests!" Shirley saw loyd standing beside her and hurriedly tidied her dress:

"Welcome! I'm Shirley Went, who is in charge of cleaning here. This is my grandfather, Crouff Wehrt. Are the guests here to choose weapons?

"I have selected it, and I'm not an aristocrat, please don't be polite. His next name is loyd, and he is the knight of Miss Xilu.

Shirley shouted "wow" as if she had discovered a new continent:

"I've heard your name! You are a celebrity in the college! You have cut off the sword of Miss Xilu, who is recognized as the strongest in the college! I didn't expect to be very lucky to see you here..."

"It's not a draw, it's a defeat! Those guys only see the appearance, which is the winner of the fact for young people! I can't hide anything from the old man, my eyes are as sharp as eagles..."

"You'd better take a good look at those weapons with your sharp eyes! I've lost a lot of things recently!" Shirley dumped her grandfather unhappily.

"Oh...don't you want grandpa if you like a young man...girl..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Go and clean up those messy things! Otherwise, I won't have your share of lunch today!"

The old man muttered into the inner room in the voice of his granddaughter's complaint. Shirley turned her head to loyd and smiled again. This kind of weather-changing performance is already common in Xilu, which is probably a girl's natural skill, so she is not surprised at all.

"Nah! Is it true to hear that you are the legendary guardian knight?

"I don't know what the legend is like, but now my name is indeed the guardian knight. That night, Miss Lulu witnessed the contract between me and Miss Xilu. There should be nothing wrong.

"Hey... Sure enough, what I saw that night was neither a fireworks nor a meteor shower. Grandpa said it was a miracle, but I didn't believe it at that time! I've only seen this kind of thing in books..."

"So, I have always tried to confirm the authenticity of this fact. But at least not now. By the way, did you say that you often lose things here?

"Yes!" Shirley suddenly lost her temper:

"In such an old place, the weapons in it are not expensive, and there are still people who come to steal it! I don't know where the thief came from! You must be so poor that you are crazy! If I catch him, I must repair him well..."

The college is guarded by a strong magic boundary. It must be an ordinary thief who can sneak in, and it may also be someone in the college... Let's help solve this incident after today's training is completed. Loed planned like this, and looked outside the door. The sun was already very bright. It seemed that the sun was empty. Thinking of going to the restaurant to meet Xilu, loyd saluted Shirley:

"Because I have to go to the restaurant, I'll leave for the time being, Miss Shirley."

"Ah, are you leaving now? I haven't said a few words yet..." Shirley looked disappointed, but thinking that she couldn't stop her at will, she had no choice but to see him go out.

"What's the matter, my granddaughter with such a face?"

The old man Kruff came out of the inner room with a wooden box in his hand:

"I sorted it out, and there are so many wastes. I really can't help it... Hey, they have gone far away. Don't stand there stupidly. Come and help!"

"Oh..." Shirley came back from her reverie and absent-mindedly helped Grandpa carry the wooden box to the corner:

"Nah, grandpa, which sword did he just buy?"

"Well... I bought something good. I remember what it was called... It seems to be 'Wonney'..."

"It's 'Wendy', right? Isn't that a famous sword named after the water elf? But it seems that no one has ever found it, so it can't be sold!"

"Of course, because the appearance is too ordinary and does not suit the appetite of those who only value the surface. Therefore, such young people are the ones who really understand the essence and value of the sword!"

"That's right! This is really a rare guest to know the goods! So, how much did it cost?"

"This... Because he knows a lot about goods, I gave it to him..."

"Hey! That's a valuable item worth at least 3,000 gold coins! That can sustain us for three years... No, at least five years of wealth!"

So, do you think he can afford that much money? Moreover, it is not a bad thing for Grandpa to do this. Maybe he can get unexpected rewards in the future. By the way, do you know what his sword is? That's one of the more famous legendary four swords than 'Wendini', the loyal sword named 'Chariros'!"

"That... such a famous thing..." Shirley's eyes were bigger than walnuts:

"How can such a thing be on him!"

"Who knows, maybe this is the guide of fate. The guardian knight and the sword of loyalty are really the best match... Fortunately, he and the people around him don't know this fact, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause an uproar!"

"It's really a great guest... Isn't it a strange day today!"

"Don't say stupid things! Also, if you like that young man, you have to work hard. Your opponent is the daughter of the famous Lafard!"

"Don't talk nonsense! How can I like a person who has just met and already has a master!" Shirley waved her hands and looked very nervous. Ordinary innocent girls are all like this when they encounter this kind of misunderstanding.

"Oh? So I misunderstood just now... But I'm looking forward to what will happen in the future... Hey hey... After all, don't you still have to go to the restaurant to help?

"Oh! I almost forgot! I'll change my clothes right away!"

Shirley quickly ran to the inner room, rushed into her room, hurriedly took off her coarse clothes, and then chose the right work clothes in the small wardrobe.

"By the way...isn't it possible to meet loyd in the restaurant..."

Suddenly thinking about this, Shirley was suddenly in full bloom.

"Loed... There must be many interesting stories happening in this person... It's really exciting..."

At the gate of the restaurant "Crystal Forest", Xilu looked around boredly. Seeing loyd's figure appear in front of her, she greeted him unhappily:

"I'm late! Stupid! It's rude to let the master wait for you!"

"I'm sorry for the delay in choosing the right weapon..." loyd handed over the sword, and Xilu pulled out the sword body and looked at it carefully for a while, and happily withdrew the scabbard:

"You have bought something good! If I guess correctly, this is the famous sword 'Wentini'!"

"Wendy? Is that the water elf?"

"Well, that's the name. Although this sword actually has no magic attributes, it is indeed a sharp weapon very suitable for actual combat! In terms of price, it costs at least 3,000 gold coins. How did you buy it?

"Because I selected it all of a sudden, the old man gave it to me."

"Hey... Sure enough, miracles will follow after misfortune. If you hadn't cut off the sword, I might never have received such a precious gift.

"As long as you are happy, it's best. I was worried about whether this kind of weapon with an outstanding appearance would satisfy you..."

"Nothing. I'm not the kind of person who only cares about the outside! Let's go in for dinner. We will meet in the square in 30 minutes. I'm going to startled everyone today!"

Loed followed the jubilant Xilu into the restaurant. It seems that Xilu will be very happy to complete the training today. Of course, I also hope that those arrogant and lazy guys can cooperate well...

The restaurant is called "Crystal Forest". In fact, most of them are just glass, but due to the harmonious rhythm with the light, it does look like crystal. The whole restaurant is quite spacious, enough to accommodate 200 people to enjoy. The surrounding decorations are also extremely luxurious, and a vase alone is probably worth a great value. Of course, these are just common aristocratic customs. The most eye-catching thing is the spectacle from the dome. I don't know what magic is used to change various patterns and intertwined with the sun into an extremely smooth melody. Loyd, who arrived for the first time, was shocked by this scene and took a deep breath.

"These are all miracles condensed by the wisdom of the predecessors of the college, and they are also the most precious gifts they have given to us descendants. The changing patterns above the head have gone through the joint efforts of several generations of college presidents and teachers. Their magic has been providing endless driving power for this moment. Every time I come here, I wonder if I can leave my name here too..."

Xilu raised her head full of longing, and loyd touched her little head:

"It must be okay, because you are Xilu."

"Then I will remember your words." Xilu held his hand, "And you also want to leave your name here with me, because you are my knight..."

"Please don't make out here early in the morning. This is a public place, little girl!"
