The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 292: Exit

Views:

After Annelotte went out, she saw a group of familiar faces outside the door. Each of them looked at her with nervous and expectant expressions.

Regnar, Inelise, Malolite, Lisanna, and Allene, they all couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Annelotte's intact appearance.

"I haven't eaten for more than half a month. Even with the supply of magic power, it will be hard, right? Wait a moment, I will get you some food. What do you want?" The first person to react was Lisanna, because Considering that Annelotte might break out at any time in the past few days, Lisanna asked her attendants to prepare sufficient ingredients every day in case of emergencies.

Annelotte looked at Lisanna. Because they didn't meet often, Annelotte and Lisanna were not familiar with each other, and now she was so enthusiastic and proactive. The Frost Girl, who had always suppressed everything with her aura, was a little overwhelmed: "Thank you... but I..."

"Okay, you're welcome. Lisanna also has good intentions." In terms of his understanding of Annelotte, Regner was naturally the number one person. So he stopped Annelotte and then said on his own initiative: "Lisanna, help Anne get a black pepper steak. This is her favorite. Of course, fruit salad, bread and cheese are also required. A little. She has a big appetite. If possible, please cook three times as much as a normal adult man."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so flexible with my appetite..." Malloryte couldn't help but said with some shame. Annelotte has been coming to Merindel with her for a long time, but the old guy only found out today that this girl always comes with her. I wasn’t even full when I ate…

"..." Annelotte rolled her eyes at Regnar, but did not refute. She usually would not eat deliberately in order to maintain her image. Anyway, the mage uses magic to maintain life. As long as there is a little food and water, she can maintain her life. Just the functioning of physiological functions. But she didn't expect that the image she had worked so hard to maintain for so long would be shattered by a single word from Regnar...

Lisanna was not surprised by Regner's statement. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, please wait, fifteen minutes at most."

"Miss Lisanna, wait for me, I'll help too!" Serving Annelotte is a matter of personal maid, so Alaian is naturally not to be outdone.

"You are so self-assertive again!" Annelotte glared at Regnar and whispered bitterly.

"Um... Anne..." Malloryt also came over. He was actually the most anxious among these people, but since Annelotte came out of seclusion, this girl has never looked at him seriously. As a result, the Gale Sword Master didn't dare to come up and talk to him.

The atmosphere became awkward in an instant, and Regnar and Inelise suddenly understood why Lisanna and Alian left suddenly. Instead of staying in awkward silence next to the father and daughter, it would be better to run to the kitchen and get busy.

"Old man, you are still too impatient. With Anne's stubborn temper, she won't be able to calm down easily even after ten days and a half." Regnar sighed silently in his heart, and it seemed that he would persuade their father next The task of the two women once again fell on their shoulders.

But something unexpected happened. Annelotte's attitude towards Malolite was not as cold as she imagined. She glanced at Malolite, and then asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"

"!!!!!!" Although there was only this short sentence, the other three people were all surprised by it.

Annelotte didn't ignore her father, she spoke! Although the tone was still a bit impatient. But no matter what, Annelotte's attitude towards the Gale Sword Master has obviously improved. This made all three of them happy.

In fact, Annelotte's attitude gradually changed with this retreat. Although she is a genius magical girl, in terms of vision and strength, she cannot be compared with the superpowers who have entered the holy realm.

So all this time, Annelotte only knew that the Neptune Giant Whale was powerful and its crystal core was extremely precious, but how powerful and precious it was exactly. Annelotte did not have a clear understanding.

This situation continued until she absorbed the crystal core of the Neptune Giant Whale. When she unlocked the seal of the magic box, she was almost shocked by the rich water element energy emitted by the crystal core inside. She never thought that just a magical beast crystal core could contain such rich energy.

To be more specific, when he and Deville were hunting the crystal-backed snow lizard, Deville also cut out the crystal core of the monster in front of him. By comparison, Annelotte estimated that the energy contained in the Warcraft crystal core of the Neptune Giant Whale was nearly a hundred times that of the Crystal Back Snow Lizard crystal core!

When she realized this, Annelotte realized what terrible monsters the Swift Wind Sword Master had fought. And what he did was just to make up for the part of the frost essence that he was missing

"Does he really care about me?" Such a question has been recurring in Annelotte's mind for the past few days. Although her awkward temper made her try to deny this idea, Annelotte's attitude towards her father still subtly changed unknowingly.

So, after Malolite came over, Annelotte hesitated, but finally spoke.

"I..." Malolite didn't expect that Annelotte would really pay attention to him, so he was speechless now.

"I'm hungry, so I'm going to eat first." Annelotte glanced at Malolite who was hesitant to speak again, then turned and left.

"Yes, yes, it's already night after all, let's have dinner together!" Regnar quickly gave Mallory a wink.

"Okay then, I'll let Lisanna and Alian do more." Malloryt ran away in a hurry.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not particularly dull. The originally arrogant and domineering Gale Sword Master behaved extremely obediently in front of his daughter. She actually worked harder than A-Lian in serving tea and water at the dinner table.

And when Annelotte saw that the Sword Master of the Wind, who could make even the princes of the empire tremble, turned down and became a waiter in front of everyone, she felt extremely complicated for a moment. So, when Malloryte handed her the filled teacup, Annelotte couldn't help but say: "Thank you."

This made the old guy very happy, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes bloomed like daisies when he smiled.

"Sister Anne, what level have you reached now? I feel like your magic power has increased a lot!" Enelise said. She can barely reach the entry level of magic power now. She can't master the practical spells of the second and third levels yet, but You can also cast a few zero-level tricks and first-level spells.

Therefore, Enelise can now be regarded as a low-level mage apprentice, and her magic sensing ability is still higher than that of several other people who do not understand magic at all.

"It should be at the peak of level 16." Annelotte made an estimate: "I feel like I'm still close to being able to cast a level 9 spell."

"I didn't expect that the crystal core of a giant Neptune whale could contain so much energy!" Regner said with some surprise. When entering the high-level realm, each level of improvement is as difficult as climbing to the sky. And Annelotte had just entered the fifteenth level not long ago, and now she jumped directly to the peak of the sixteenth level because she absorbed the crystal core of a Neptune Giant Whale? This almost shortened Annelotte's training time by nearly two years!

"That's right!" Malloryt said proudly, "It took a lot of effort to kill it! It stayed in its stomach for more than two days. After killing it, it was hard to find the location of the crystal core. It took me a week!”

"..." Annelotte was silent for a moment after hearing this. She knew how arrogant Malolite's character was and could make him call it a dangerous battle. The scene at that time could not be described as hanging by a thread. .

So, after Annelotte hesitated for a moment, she spoke again: "Thank you also for this crystal core."

Malolite was stunned after hearing this, and then he smiled gently: "Annie, what are you talking about? Isn't it a natural thing for a father to do something for his daughter? You don't have to thank me. If you still want it, you can wait for me to rest for a few days before hunting again. But I'm afraid it's hard to find the Neptune King Whale, but it doesn't matter, I asked His Majesty Larvin to allocate a sea ship to me, no big deal If you float in the central sea for a few more days, you can always find something good."

Annelotte took a deep look at Malloryt, then shook her head: "No need, this is too dangerous."

"It's okay!" Malloryt said quickly. He was not being condescending or joking, he was serious. Thanks to the crystal core of the Neptune Giant Whale, he was able to improve his relationship with his daughter, so now that he has found such an effective way, Malolite naturally wants to try it a few more times.

"Hey, old man, if Annie doesn't want it, I want it! How about you helping me hunt down two shadow creatures to make me feel good too?" Regnar understood what Malloryt was thinking, but he knew better that he couldn't let her Malloryt repeatedly dwells on this in a way that could backfire. So this guy spoke shamelessly.

"Go aside, Annie is my daughter, so I can't help but get the Warcraft crystal core for her. Do you have any relationship with me?" Malolite turned away and disowned his former comrade.

"I can have a relationship with you. For example, how about being your godson? If you like your daughter, it's okay for me to be your daughter! It's just a shadow creature, and it's definitely not as dangerous as the Neptune Whale." Regnar joked. .

"Go away! I think you are a shadow creature yourself. Let me just kill you?" Malloryt cursed, causing several other women to laugh.

Malloryt glared at Regnar, then suddenly turned to Annelotte who was smiling and said, "Annie, there is one thing I still want to discuss with you."

"What's going on?" Annelotte seemed to have guessed something, and her eyes became unfriendly again.

"I hope we can talk calmly." Malolite smiled bitterly when he saw his daughter's transformation, and he said, "It's still about your joining the Military Intelligence Agency."

Everyone was silent. This was destined to be an unpleasant topic, but for the sake of her daughter, Malloryt had the guts to bring it up.

The Gale Sword Master glanced at everyone present, and looked at Annelotte's stubborn expression for an extra two seconds. Then he said with a bit of helplessness: "Okay, I don't plan to do any additional persuasion now. But I would like to remind you that the Military Intelligence Agency, or the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild and Verres, are not as friendly as you think. Although I don't know the elf's intentions, I always feel that he seems to be planning something. And you and Xiao Lei are probably the two key pieces."

"..." Annelotte remained silent. She was not ungrateful or unsophisticated. But after all, the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild is where she grew up, and Verless is the one who raised her, so the Frost Girl instinctively resists any bad guesses or suspicions about them. This is a blind spot for her.

Malloryte looked at Annelotte, and then continued: "I will say this, just hope you can think about it rationally. So, if you really think about it carefully, then no matter what decision you make, I No one will object."
