Chapter Thirty-Six: Xiyan Leader(2/6)
Robin gently stroked the war horses under his crotch, tied the reins of the horses, and stared at them.
It has to be said that the mother and daughter look extremely similar.
Both of them have the same flowing blonde reddish curly hair.
Grand Duke Shalom's facial features are quite three-dimensional, with both sunken cheeks and straight nose bridge.
and thin bright red lips and reddish brown eyes.
In addition to the extra wrinkles on the face and slightly loose skin.
She and Jima were carved out from the same mold.
A golden necklace hung around Shalom's neck, and a large blue gem fell below it.
This is a world of difference from the simple Rosa Linde before.
Robin couldn't help but feel more sympathetic to the Thunder Knight.
You know, when he saw Rosalinde's impression, she only had a short linen dress, dressed like an ordinary warrior.
The civilian grand duke does not seem to be like a grand duke.
"Robin." Jiexi's whisper came from beside her. She approached Robin's ear and looked at Grand Duke Shalom in the distance with a smile. "Compared with that blue crystal necklace, I think you can pay attention to the ring on her hand."
"ring?"
Robin followed her words and turned his eyes down to Shalom's hand.
On her fair and slender index finger, she was wearing a blue transparent ring.
Because it was too far away, Robin couldn't see the specific carved patterns on it.
The style looks extremely ordinary, except that a black stone is inlaid on the front drill seat.
There is not even a luster.
Robin couldn't help but frown and expressed doubts about Jiexi's words just now.
"Don't underestimate that ring." Jiexi lowered her voice and approached his ears.
It seems to be talking about a huge secret.
Her breath blew on Robin's face and she felt a slight itch.
However, Jiexi's attitude infected him, forcing Robin to concentrate and prick up his ears.
I heard Jiexi say:
"That is a very rare legendary magic weapon in the world - the Word of Elf."
Robin's heart moved.
"Are you talking about the ring itself or the stone on the ring?"
"There are both, they are one." Jiexi showed a longing, "It was a spirit stone itself, carved into the shape of a ring.
When magic appears, the black gem will show different colors.”
Hearing Jiexi's description, Robin suddenly became a little curious.
The stone that originally looked ordinary had extraordinary power.
His right hand gently rubbed his left index finger, imagining what it would feel like to wear the ring on his hand.
According to Gael's previous statement, the holy book that Saiya left him when he died was also a magic weapon.
It’s just that the connection between magic weapons and magicians has not been established in Robin’s brain.
"The former master of the Elf Word is famously powerful, and the power of that ring is far beyond all our imaginations. Countless mages want to get it.
Someone gave Shalom four thousand gold coins, but she was reluctant to sell them.
Moreover, for it, the undead bird Lydia attacked Duke Shalom."
"Dead Bird, what is that?" Robin couldn't tell whether what she was just talking about was a creature or a nickname.
"It is the nickname of the dark mage Lydia," Jiexi said in a secret manner. "It was a notorious necromancer. She thought that Shalom could not use magic himself, and wearing the word of the elf was a waste of resources..."
"Huh?" Robin also showed an expression of regret in his eyes when he heard this, "Does Shalom not magic?"
"Although in fact, we all think that Grand Duke Shalom is too wasteful. But the reputation of the undead bird is really too bad, and snatching other people's property violates the supreme law in Itnair.
As a result, when she invaded the Grand Duke Shalom's dormitory and tried to cut the ring and fingers off her hands.
But she was cut off by Duke Shalom."
A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of Jiexi's mouth, "The Undead Bird obviously underestimated the strength of Duke Shalom. You must know that when she was young, she was a very famous swordsman."
"So that's it." Robin nodded slightly, "But why did Duke Shalom not give up the ring? Even if it was a very powerful magic weapon, useless things would be wasted."
He thought intently and smiled faintly, "If it were me, it would be better to use a ring to win over a powerful magician, which is more valuable than useless things."
"Master Robin." Jiexi smiled slightly and raised her chin. "Some things may be measured simply not just [useful] or [useless]. That ring has extraordinary significance to Grand Duke Shalom..."
Robin was slightly stunned, but immediately understood her words.
Sometimes an item does not have only use value.
Sometimes, the value attached to it is the most valuable.
"However," Jiexi smiled sly, and the lenses reflected two lights. "Grand Duke Shalom also promised that if she could really find a suitable master, she would offer the Supreme Elf Word with both hands."
"Hey?" Robin's eyes moved slightly.
For some reason, when he heard Jiexi say this, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
It seemed as if in the dark, a big hand held up his finger and led a step towards the unknown darkness.
I don't know whether this feeling is good or bad.
...
Grand Duke Shalom's voice was soft, like the drizzle and spring breeze. Robin could only vaguely hear words such as "itation", "preparation", "refreshment"...
Her body leaned forward, very close to Jima.
This is a sign of intimacy.
Jima's upper body stiffened, moved slightly backward, and shook her head from time to time.
Robin guessed that this was Jima's resistance to Shalom.
This feeling is really subtle...
It seems that the two have a big conflict and holiday, and Shalom seems to be the party who does the wrong thing.
Even though the two people are talking about the Chosen Team.
Body language conveys another kind of message.
Robin saw all of these in his eyes and hid them all in his memory.
If possible, it might come in handy later.
Mother and daughter gap.
The bloodline of the Grand Duke and Grand Duke.
"His Excellency Shalom, our trip is tight and time is limited, so I'm afraid we won't settle here." Jima's voice came clearly along the wind.
She straightened her upper body straight and her face was firm and deep.
Robin noticed that Jima's name to the other party was not mother, but the Grand Duke.
This kind of official attitude is really ridiculous.
When the two looked at each other, the smell of smoke filled the air made Robin wonder whether these two people were really mother and daughter.
"So, don't you even have time to eat?" A trace of doubt flashed in Shalom's eyes, but he immediately suppressed it and became calm.
However, Robin almost heard the heartbreaking voice of an old mother.
"Jimma..." Grand Duke Shalom took a deep breath, his chest undulating slightly, "In Xiyan's leader, it's reasonable. As the master, I can't let the chosen one be like this..."
"Grand Lord." Jima interrupted her with sharp eyes, "The king's order. We must bring the chosen one back to Haoyue City as soon as possible, so as not to change on the way."
"Jimma!" Behind Shalom, a young girl stood up and scolded him sternly.
Her voice was clear and audible, which made everyone focus their attention.
Robin noticed that although the girl was young, her appearance was very similar to these two.
Also has long blonde, reddish curly hair and reddish brown eyes.
But compared to Jima and Shalom, her eyes were softer.
The cheeks are plump.
He already had some guesses about the other party's identity.
This girl is most likely Jima's sister.
