Chapter 2423 Scars
The blonde maid pursed her lips in worry. She didn't care what Xia De was thinking. She just knew that today's trip brought more troubles and sorrow to the man in front of her.
Although Matilda was not Miss Belindel, it was still easy to divine the fragments of the long sword that had just fallen. The broken half of the sword fell into the Taton River. Although Shad's hands were injured, he did not let Matilda go into the water, but went into the water himself to fish out the sword.
Fearing that the church team would arrive soon, they did not stay here for long and soon returned to Belindel Manor.
After coming back, the first person she met was Ajelina, who was holding a pile of books and didn't know where to go. The little princess immediately noticed the abnormality of Shad's hands, and then hurried into the house to call for help.
Soon, Luvia, Megan and Miss Elizabeth, who were still at the manor and on the boat, arrived.
They blamed Xia De for being careless and dragged him to get treatment.
After Shad was pulled 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 able to help and instead being a hindrance? Don't worry, Shade never cares about that, otherwise our little princess wouldn't be here right now."
"I"
Golden hair covered Matilda's profile. She had not changed her clothes since she came back. She was standing in the foyer of the Earl's manor in a coarse skirt, which made her look out of place here.
"You feel a little confused, feeling that you may have misunderstood him before, and you also understand what he usually does, right?"
The very "considerate" Tifa smiled again and said, when she smiled, her dark brown eyes were always slightly narrowed, which looked very beautiful.
"Yes."
Matilda admitted, and Tifa took her hand:
"Let's go change out of this outfit first. I feel that the black and white maid dress is more suitable for us. Tell me what happened this afternoon. Of course, if you need my advice, I'm also happy to help you."
Matilda mustered up her 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 come to the basement, also told Luvia what happened in the afternoon. He sat on a chair next to the alchemy table in the basement. Megan was a little worried and dripped the No. 2 holy water drop by drop on the festering wounds on Shade's hands. She even blew on his wounds from time to time like treating a child.
Luvia waited until Shade finished speaking before speaking:
"Are you sure that is Blood Sorrow?"
"My hand directly touched the sword. Unless there is another sage-level relic holy sword related to blood in Yuewan, it must be Bloodsorrow. I heard my vampire friend describe the appearance of the sword. It is a rusty long sword with cracks and gaps on the surface. It can't be wrong."
He waved his hand as he spoke:
"Here's the proof."
"Shad, don't move!"
Megan said dissatisfiedly, and then two other hands stretched out from behind her and grabbed Shad's arms to prevent him from moving.
"Even by the standards of the Fifth Epoch, Miss Edwards, you are...amazing."
The blue-eyed boat girl at the side said, and then asked Xiang Xiade:
"So the person you met was the seventh chosen one?"
"Probably, and the other party is a leader of [Eternal Light]."
Xia De frowned again:
"I really didn't expect this. Although I knew that investigating the [Eternal Light] would definitely yield results, I didn't expect it to be like this. But it makes sense. Although his experiences as a young man have frustrated him, he is still committed to pursuing justice and no longer relies on others but on himself."
The only thing he hadn't had time to ask about was the matter of the Hope Diamond, but if this relic was really in the other party's hands, then everything would make more sense.
After all, when Shad first arrived in Moon Bay, among the three suspected "fortune tellers" he questioned on Herring Street, one of them was Mr. Ptolemy Albert.
The first friend he met in Yuewan turned out to be the end of this story. The time when Mr. Albert came to Yuewan matched the time of death of the blood-sucking creature that Miss Rice had mentioned many years ago. Mr. Albert's identity also matched the wound of the deceased, which was "scalpel-level precision to avoid the fatal position".
In addition, the second time Shad "had an insight into the guidance" and "guided a hero" was when he had a heart-to-heart talk with the coroner outside the farm. Everything was too obvious.
"Okay, the wound has been treated."
Megan suddenly said, and everyone looked at Shade's hand. The festering flesh and blood was dispelled by the holy water, which made Shade's body's super-high-intensity self-healing ability take effect.
In just a few seconds, the wound healed, leaving only two scarlet scars on the palms of both hands.
"This is not a permanent scar. But after all, it is caused by a sage-level relic, so it will take about one or two months for it to disappear. I will contact Granny Cassandra, who should be able to concoct a potion to speed up the disappearance of the scar."
The two hands behind Megan disappeared, and she spoke to Luvia.
But Shade shook his head:
"Don't bother. I will just cut off the flesh on your palm and soak your hand in the water treated with my magic. It will be healed before dinner and won't be late for your meeting with Ms. Forlan in the evening."
Luvia patted Shade gently:
"What are you talking about? I'd rather you have scars than do this."
Before dinner, Shad wanted to go out, but was stopped by Luvia. The reason she gave was that Shad and Megan had to go see Nadia Foran in the evening, and no one knew what would happen then, so it would be better to take a rest.
"I went to see Margaret. I asked her to help investigate a person's past. I have to get the results before I can go see the 'devout ascetic' again."
Xia De argued, and the purple-eyed girl snorted softly:
"I'm just worried that you won't be able to rest well after meeting the princess."
So in the remaining hour before dinner, Shad went to the "Glorious Messenger" and together with Miss Aurora and Miss Elizabeth, met the mermaids who came to help in the dusk fog.
It was indeed not easy for the mermaids to avoid the church's detection and enter Yuewan Port. When Shade asked the girls with fish tails about Miss Shandel of the Fifth Age, they really hadn't heard anything:
"Sir, our history is more confusing than the history of mankind."
The girl who was probably the leader of this group of mermaids said. She had dark red hair, which was different from the red hair of the Cavendish family and Miss Danister.
The girl was called "Sybil" by Miss Aurora. Her ring wizard level reached 12th ring, making her the strongest mermaid of this era.
Miss Belindel returned with the maids just before dinner, and before Shad went to the dining room, she found Shad in the dressing room of Luvia's room.
"Wait a minute, I'm changing clothes!"
When the countess opened the door of the dressing room, Shad was unbuttoning his white shirt, while Mia squatted in his coat thrown on the soft stool, using it as a nest, and waited patiently for Shad to take her to dinner.
"This is my house, I don't care what you do."
This time Bella Belindel couldn't care less. As the blonde countess spoke, she reached out and grabbed Shade's right hand, looking at the scar on his palm:
"Really? Why are you so careless?"
The tone was definitely not one of complaint, but rather one of heartache.
And Shad noticed that Matilda was following behind her, but she lowered her head, which was a little different from usual, so he explained:
"We went out this afternoon, originally just wanting to test the [Eternal Light], but we didn't expect to run into the other party's leader. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the other party discovered us because of the 'Pious Cultivator's' strange light talent.
This kind of unexpected thing is really unavoidable, but you see, I am fine, right? So, this is not my fault or Miss Ellington's."
When Shade mentioned his name, the blonde maid looked up at him. The Countess, who was well versed in the ways of the world, knew what Shade wanted to say:
"You, you, stop thinking about speaking for others all the time, really."
She stroked the bloody scar on Xia De's palm:
"I'll go look in the warehouse. There must be a way to remove this scar."
As he turned and left, Xia De reminded him:
"Did Luvia tell you about the [Mirror of Mafara]?"
"I told you, it's also in the warehouse."
She left in a swift and decisive manner, and Matilda followed her and turned around. But before leaving, the maid grabbed the door and looked at Shade with some melancholy. Shade didn't quite understand the meaning of her eyes.
They were really concerned about the scar on Xia De's palm. Although Xia De himself felt that the scar would disappear in half a week at most, rather than a month or two, they still thought of various ways.
So when everyone gathered in the manor restaurant that night, as soon as Shad walked in, he saw Grace and Helen holding hands, curiously watching the little unicorn Lianna.
The pure white glowing little beast was trembling in front of the window, looking like it wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide and was seriously frightened. It tried hard to stand on all fours, but no matter how Shade looked at it, it looked like it was about to fall down at any moment.
Emilia and Ajelina were also there, but they didn't seem to dare to speak. Because of the chosen one's ritual, unless they were in direct contact, the red butterfly girls had no whispering elements at all. Ajelina had seen them at Green Lake, and the elf girl probably knew the identities of the twin sisters, so they didn't dare to "rescue" little Lianna.
