Demon Sage

This reception will undoubtedly be a good night for most people, singing and dancing, cheerful and comfortable.

Even after the reception is over, it can still be regarded as a midsummer night’s dream, with a long aftertaste.

But for some people, life has to go on and the suffering is not over.

This is the situation the mother and daughter of the Steve family are facing now. In their opinion, the mining tycoon and Serveit Talos are actually similar, no matter who buys them The mining company they will face is the fact that their only pillar industry is being sold at a low price.

On the second day after the end of the reception, according to the results of the auction, they had to personally go to Renas with the equity agreement to sign a contract with Serveit Talos and get their 4000 gold pound.

“mother, I’m ready.”

Scarlett opened the door in a plain long dress. As the only descendant of the Steve family, in the current situation , she must stand up to help her mother share part of the affairs.

“Change the white dress I bought for you before!”

Mrs. Steve looked at her daughter, who was wearing a very conservative dress compared to usual, and was a little helpless Shaking his head said.

“But I don’t want to…”

Scarlett knew what that white dress looked like, even if she was usually open-minded enough to wear it. Some blush heartbeat.

“Without Steve Minerals, we’re just a mother and daughter in debt, and when the time comes we’ll be in a situation that’s a hundred times more difficult than it is now…and It’s not a question of whether you want to or not, but in order to survive, we must make choices!”

Interrupting her daughter’s defense, Mrs. Steve’s eyes were full of sadness.

Reality will never change because of someone’s grief and pain.

No matter from which point of view, Serveit Talos buying a mining company has no effect, so why did he add 1,000 gold pounds to forcibly buy it?

Is it because they are pitiful?

This is undoubtedly a situation that exists only in fantasy.

Recently because of the unexpected death of her husband, the Steve family has gone through too many hardships. , Mrs. Steve couldn’t help but think in some bad ways.

If they want to maintain their noble status and not become bullied commoners, they must find a backer, and as long as some things are accepted, they will not be so unbearable if they think about it carefully. There are not many choices in front of them.

It’s like a person who never used to eat bread, but must eat it now, at least choose between hard rye bread and fluffy butter bread. eat it?

In Mrs. Steve’s eyes, the question of who to choose between Viscount Talos and Viscount Philip hardly needs to be considered. The latter only used frivolous language at the reception last night. He has insulted them, he is a playboy, and his morals are corrupt, and although the former’s character is average, at least he is the mayor of a city and a descendant of a duke.

“I…I understand.”

Clenching the frills of her dress, Scarlett bit her lips and returned to the room with a pale face .

Sobbing could be heard faintly from inside the house.

**

At this moment, the man who had been imagined by the mother and daughter as having ill intentions was not on their side at all.

In the villa of the Talos family, Donald was wiping the long sword he brought back from the auction with silk in the study. Lilo and Julia were sitting on the chairs next to him.

When the wiping was completed, Donald stood up and stood on the open space in the room, suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, and made a thrusting motion while holding the long sword.

The posture is very handsome, coupled with the special physique of his own, the momentum is not small, and some humming sounds can be heard when the blade breaks through the air.

“Sevit’s big brother, do you have anything to do with us?”

Julia looked at Donald’s movements and asked with some doubts.

“Do you think I have the potential to be a Swordsman?”

As a man, Donald occasionally yearns for flesh-and-blood melee combat.

“…”

Julia was silent, and Donald, who looked at him strangely, quickly lost his face.

“Cecilia, please remember this moment of the day, because of your silence, a great potential genius Swordsman was strangled in the cradle.”

” hehe, I’ll remember, but because I saved a genius wizard…in a good mood?”

Having been together for a long time, Julia also knew that Donald would be in a particularly good mood. Always joke with people.

“Not bad. Yesterday’s cocktail party will successfully accomplish a recent goal. Today they will come to Renas to sign a contract with me. As for the two of you, it is for it.”

“Not bad. >

Put the long sword on the table, Donald continued,

“This is one of the three things I bought at the auction, the Auctioneer invited by Tulip Count is just an ordinary person , it is estimated that the demonstration is performed according to the content written in the manual, and I always feel that its ability is not limited to the completion of the sword-wielding body strengthening by swallowing blood, but I am not an identification Master or a weapon forging craftsman, it is difficult to learn from the forging process. Or the texture on the sword to judge its special ability, so I want to ask you to help me.”

Donald has seen the ability to strengthen bloodthirsty in the previous auction, and he is going to try it now. Naturally, other abilities.

“This long sword is constantly exuding negative energy, and it seems to have some wraith attachments… You are proficient in these two aspects, can you see something? ”

He took part of the light elements from the sunlight near the window of the study, condensed them into his two fingers, and then wiped the blade.

呲la~

It was like the sound of a red-hot iron dipping into cold water. Donald looked at the plume of white smoke and turned his eyes to the two girls, shrugged. Verify what you just said.

Lilo took the sword in her hand, and extremely strong negative energy poured out from her hand. Then Donald found that the gem in the animal bone where the hilt was connected to the blade began to emit blue fluorescence , just like when the wooden box first opened at auction, even brighter.

As the gems glowed, a cold air flow immediately wrapped around the long sword, and it didn’t take long for a thin layer of ice to spread over the desk next to it.

“The Ice Attribute airflow can be activated by absorbing negative energy… The key is this gem?”

Obviously, this gem inside the hollow animal bone looks a bit like It’s the power station for this long sword, Donald clearly remembers that it also changed during the blood-sucking demo.

“What did you say?”

At this time, Julia asked suddenly, Donald turned her head in confusion, she waved her hand again and said,

“I He was talking to Xiao Hei, he said that there seems to be a lot of wraith in this sword.”

“Julia, I remember that your innate talent should be specially used to deal with Spirit Physique, maybe It can be tested.”

Another discovery, Donald’s voice was two degrees higher, and he now felt that buying this sword at a high price was a very correct decision.

“Well, I’ll try.”

Julia nodded, condensed a mass of energy and placed it near the long sword, before she could retract her hand, an invisible force It has already pulled this group of energy into the blade.

This time there are no more natural phenomena, after the energy mass is swallowed, the long sword is calm again.

“wraith does exist, and what is its function… tsk, there’s no need to make it so clear, just the previous two abilities are enough to prove the value of this long sword , blood, negative energy, the acquisition of these two things is bound to lead to killing… I’m really lucky.”

Slip the long sword back into the scabbard, Donald was very impressed with the sword. Satisfied more and more, he whispered these words that made the two girls next to him cloudy.

“Sewett’s big brother, do you really want to become a Swordsman full-time?”

Hearing Donald talking to himself, Julia thought he was really going to switch to Swordsman, and was a little worried. Pulling off the former’s clothes, he continued,

“Xiao Hei said that this magical weapon will affect people’s minds if used for a long time. Killing and wraith’s whispers will gradually drive people with weak willpower into madness. I I know Servetus, big brother, you are strong-willed, but you simply don’t need this kind of weapon.”

“This is what you want, the crazier the better…don’t worry, I even want it A full-time Swordsman is also impossible to use this weapon, you guys go play first, I still have something to do, go first.”

Hearing that this weapon can be crazy, Donald not only didn’t feel sorry, but felt sorry for it. It paid more attention to it, rubbed Julia’s head, got up and left the study with a long sword, he couldn’t wait to start his own plan.

Huxley was busy with the affairs of the villa in the hall. In the eyes of most people, he was always the conscientious old steward. When he saw Donald standing in the corridor on the second floor As he motioned to him, he stopped the work at hand.

The conversation between the two took place in the garden.

Donald threw the wooden box with the long sword to Huxley as soon as he got up, while he sat on the swing under the big oak tree and swayed back and forth.

“You are…”

Huxley subconsciously took over the wooden box, but for a while he didn’t understand what Donald meant.

“I ask you, is there a mysterious area near Renas that is particularly rich in folklore, true or false.”

“Outside the city?”

“Yes, it must be outside of Renas City, but not too far.”

“There doesn’t seem to be a similar existence in my mind, so I’ll immediately find someone to check.”

Although he didn’t quite understand what Donald meant, as a servant, Huxley’s reaction was quite quick.

“No, you haven’t heard of it before. Even if you ask it, I’m afraid it won’t meet my requirements. You still have to find a way…I want to give you a very important mission.”

With his feet against the grass to stop the swing, Donald looked at the flowerbed not far away and said without looking back.

“Please say.”

Huxley’s posture changed from bowing to half-kneeling.

“I want you to take this long sword to Reina’s smithy in the last two days and give it some exterior decoration so that no one can recognize it as me at the auction The long sword you got, this matter is a secret, you have to watch it yourself, and at the same time spend money to send people to various parts of East Germany to spread the news.”

Donald glanced at the box, as if thinking of it. What, suddenly said with a smile,

“The content of the message is very simple, someone found a magical weapon left by the ancient Master Alchemists near the city of Renas, whose name is… Frostmourne!”
