Chapter 148 Sword in the Lake
◎The last second I saw was Taffy's right hand grabbing me with all his might.◎
A gentle breeze blew through the fur, and Menea closed her eyes comfortably, her anger subsiding.
Forget it, I won’t bother with the bad aunt who has lost her memory. I can’t scratch my aunt with my claws, so it’s the same if I let my mom scratch her ten times in the future.
Looking down, there were dense forests, wilderness, and swirling purple mist everywhere.
Nini didn't know what the purple mist looked like to others, but to her, it was just a bunch of tangled balls of string. These balls of string were entangled between the plots of land, barely gluing two unrelated places together, disguising them as real terrain.
The cat dragon withdrew his gaze, weighed his dragon claw, and then noticed that there was a sheep on it.
Is it Uncle Hulun's or Aunt Attila's sheep? I was so angry just now that I grabbed something and left.
Humph, anyway, they should all apologize to her!
"Mee..." The sheep made a sound of objection, but the objection was ineffective.
Sniff, it smells a bit stinky. That's right, the lamb has a strong mutton smell before it's fully roasted. I need to find a place to wash it properly.
Menea felt a little regretful: if she had known earlier, she should have delayed a little and picked out a roasted lamb before flying away. She had awkwardly caught a live lamb, and now she had to fly back and ask Aunt Attila to roast it for her.
I can't afford to lose the dragon.
She slowly lowered her altitude. "How about we wait until dark and go find Uncle Hulun? We're all Huns. There's no reason why Aunt Attila can roast but Hulun can't."
He also has delicious roasted whole lamb. If I go over and ask for some seasoning, he should take the initiative to call someone to help roast the lamb, right?
"Mee..." The sheep made a dying cry. Menea glanced at the sparkling lake not far away, and pinched the fat sheep with disgust: It's so smelly and dirty. Why can wolves eat animals raw?
No, it has to be washed first. It’s so dirty that I feel embarrassed to ask someone to help me kill it.
She folded her wings and landed beside the lake, nodding with satisfaction:
The colors here are as sweet as a fairy tale. Pure white clouds float in the blue sky, clusters of shrubs dot the lakeside, and the hillside forms a slight arc, allowing miniature waterfalls to flow in, revealing shimmering ripples.
Even the pebbles are colorful, with a warm pink and orange hue.
Hey, this place is really suitable for skipping stones~
Nini raised her dragon claws and threw the sheep out, imitating the movements her mother had taught her.
"Mee!" With a splash, the fat sheep hit the water, sending up huge splashes of water. It struggled desperately with all four hooves raised, and soon sank into the lake and disappeared.
"Where are the sheep?!" Nini was dumbfounded. She knocked over a few small trees and fell to the edge of the lake, staring at the center of the lake.
Gulp, gurgle.
A series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake, gurgling like a boiling water.
Splash—transparent gauze stirred up the water, and a slender woman leaped out of the lake. Her upper body was human, and her lower body was wrapped in a long skirt, revealing fish scales faintly.
"Wow~" Menia slowly opened her mouth. She understood, she remembered!
My mom once told me this story: the nymph in the lake would hold out two axes and ask, "Did you lose the gold axe or the silver axe?" If you answered that you lost the copper axe, you would get three axes!
But she didn't throw the axe, so the axe can't be answered here.
The clever cat dragon swallowed his saliva and said loudly, "I lost an ordinary sheep! Yes, a sheep that smells a bit~" After hesitating for a moment, Gudu added, "It's very fat."
“…”
The Fairy of the Lake visibly hesitated for a few seconds, her smile almost cracking. She hesitantly reached out her hand and groped in the water.
Swish~ A long sword broke through the lake water and was gently picked up by the fairy in the lake.
She raised her hand toward Menea, the blade in her hand gleaming, reflecting the sun's rays like water, turning the gold into a cold silver.
[Sharp] is the first impression given by this long sword, and [Indestructible] is the characteristic given to it by magic. People with high inspiration can understand this instantly.
Who wouldn't love a divine weapon? The Fairy of the Lake confidently displayed the sword and said in the most seductive tone, "Noble King of Destiny, this divine weapon belongs to you, a gift from heaven..."
"Oh, and where are my three little lambs?"
Nini stared eagerly at the lake, hoping for a fat, golden, silver, and white sheep to leap out of it, ideally with three jars of cumin. Spices are so precious.
"...The most important thing isn't the blade, but the hilt." The Fairy of the Lake pretended not to hear the three lambs. She maintained an elegant smile and traced the silver with her fingertips. "The hilt is lost."
"You mean, you want me to retrieve the hilt?"
"right…"
"And you'll give me back the three sheep?"
The fairy in the lake swallowed a mouthful of blood and nodded gently: "Yes." Otherwise, what? Otherwise, this guy would be so angry that he would roll around in the lake, right?
Nini hesitated, feeling a bit shortchanged. Mom hadn't found it yet, so who would have time to look for the hilt? Even if she found it, she'd only get two more sheep. She might as well go back and roll around with Aunt Attila, who could just wave her hand and have a flock of sheep.
Thinking of this, Maolong shook his head modestly: "No need, just return the sheep I lost to me."
Damn little devil! That's why I hate human cubs, including dragons!
The Fairy of the Lake gritted her teeth and handed the sword to him: "Your destiny is to become the king of mankind. This sword can only belong to you."
"The hilt—"
"The hilt needs to be reforged!"
Fearing the cat-dragon would turn and fly away at the slightest disagreement, the Lady of the Lake spoke at top speed, "You need golden blood. Attila will destroy the civilized world and is the enemy of humanity. Forge the hilt with her blood. The sword will be indestructible. The hilt will also maintain your vitality, protect you from harm, and keep you young forever."
This time, Cat Dragon tilted her head and thought for a long time, then she suddenly realized: "What you are talking about is my claws, blood, and scales, right? So this sword is me?"
Oh~ She is worthy of being the legendary fairy of the lake. It turns out that she is telling a fable.
Snap!
The Lady of the Lake threw the sword at the cat-dragon, and at the same time predicted loudly: "If you don't use it to kill Attila, Attila will-"
"Listen carefully, Nini. If a suspicious aunt makes a prophecy, shut her up before she finishes."
Menea grabbed the sword and rushed forward at the fastest speed, launching a flaming headbutt!
Bang, bang, bang! Crash!
She spun at high speed like hitting a baseball, and smashed the fairy out like a fat sheep - seven circles were created in a row, and she sank headfirst to the bottom of the water.
The cat dragon nodded in satisfaction, picked up the longsword and flew into the air. "Meow meow, although I lost a fat sheep, I gained a sword. I can use it to exchange for a roasted whole lamb. Perfect."
…
Pots of hot water were poured over their heads, scalding the Huns so much that they cried out in pain.
Hulun was almost at the back, covering his head and backing away: "Damn it, how come even Thebes is so hard——"
He couldn't afford to offend Sparta, Athens and Persia were occupied by Attila, and Rome had the great devil Elena. How was he going to survive?
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Hulun touched his burned skin and squeezed the horse's belly. As soon as he ran, the Huns turned around and followed him.
Run, run! Those Huns like them who had not yet submitted to Attila were already accustomed to running away. At first, they were still considering whether to submit to the Golden King, but in the end, even Bleda was tricked and killed, so they simply gave up.
A while ago, I was scared after being beaten and was thinking of surrendering, but a giant dragon fell from the sky. It was really an unlucky year.
With a crackling sound, the sound of horse hooves completely dissipated, and the people on the city wall immediately cheered.
Melia put away her bow and arrows and wiped the sweat off her face. "Huh~ I haven't even used the ballista yet. These Huns are no match for me."
"Miss, let's go down first."
Taffy grabbed Melia without saying a word and left the celebrating crowd with her.
"Okay, okay~ The situation is special, there are not enough people on the city wall~" Melia quietly closed her eyes and checked the clock hidden in the dark.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon. One or two months have passed since the last time I felt the clock. What is the connection between the clock scale and the real time?
The sticky threads in my mind became more and more concentrated, converging from spider-web-like hollow silk threads into a large ball of gel, wrapped into a rectangular shape.
The inside of the rectangle is probably the book "Rose Princess", where the fairy spinning thread is fighting against the true fate with all her strength.
The scene changed again, and the two people smoothly cut into a dinner party.
The Thebans set up tables, chairs and flower stands in the garden. The city lord sat on the inside of the balcony. Irite deliberately chose a long table by the door and waved to them.
Melia sat down and Taffy stood behind her, keeping an eye on her surroundings while picking up a knife to help cut the meat pie.
"Thanks to you, we can finally keep going." Elite moved her stool closer. She flicked her light pink nails and breathed a sigh of relief.
Melia nodded with lingering fear: "Yes, they are fighting everywhere, and no one will give way unless they help."
I thought I could travel on the trade route with a lot of goods and guards, but I didn't expect that there was war everywhere and I would be detained by the city lord every time I arrived in a city, and would not be released until it was completely safe.
The two of them were talking quietly with their heads touching, but the city lord left his seat and slowly walked over to them: "Thank you for your help, Miss Melia."
"It's okay, it's what I deserve~" Melia clinked glasses with a fake smile and drank in small sips.
[Hurry up and finish, I'm still waiting for the hands to jump...]
"So—please help me again."
"No problem..."
Weird, I feel dizzy. Has the time started jumping?
Bang.
What I saw at the last second was Taffy's powerful right hand grabbing me.
…
Crack, crack, crack, clang!
"Ouch!" Melia covered her head and opened her eyes. How could she have bumped into something again? It's so hard to wake up every time. Fairy, reflect on this!
"Miss, you're awake." Taffy pulled back her shoulders and carefully brought the blanket over. It turned out that the three of them were sitting in the same "prison van," and Ilit was still sleeping beside them, tears in her eyes.
Melia touched the sleep marks on her face and staggered to the railing. "What's going on? Didn't we just help Thebes defeat the Huns? They lost again?"
"No..." Taffy hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "The city lord surrendered. He said he foresaw Thebes' defeat and it was better to surrender."
Well, it's true. No matter how strong the Theban Saints are, they can't compare to Alexandra or Elena, not to mention the goblins are taking sides. If the city lord can truly "see" some of the plot, surrendering can actually reduce losses.
After all, in those days, a city would be massacred after it was captured, and war crimes were part of the soldiers' income. Alexandra could do it.
The city lord probably had his eyes on Ilite's goods and was planning to send both the goods and the people over to avoid having to pay extra money.
She looked calmly towards the end of the wasteland. "Will the city lord send us to Elena? Perfect~ I don't have to walk by myself."
Hearing the noise inside the cage, a guard came over on horseback and knocked on the cage door: "Shh, shh, don't talk nonsense when you get here. The Golden King has a bad temper."
Wait, who?
The author has something to say:
Thanks to nanaya_scarlet's Lei Lei~
