Extra 3 The Nun and the Hero(2/2)
"There are not many opportunities to see you like this. Let me see you, Devlin."
The middle-aged nun said again, and then Sister Devlin looked at Shade. Shade let go slightly, and then the nun took her hand out, and then Shade held the dark golden sickle by herself.
This scythe is actually part of the nun's soul. This is the first time that Shade knows that this kind of weapon can be touched by others alone.
The nun didn't know what Shade was thinking. Her long gray hair slipped past her eyepatch. She took off the eyepatch that was made of mithril and had dense patterns, and then bent down and placed it at Shade's feet.
The chosen one walked towards death, and at the edge of the tidal flats and dark waters, he looked face to face with the middle-aged nun who was also walking.
Shade didn't know what Sister Devlin saw, but she discovered that after a while, the sickle in her hand emitted a faint light. The faint light made the surrounding darkness and death recede, and they returned to the brightly lit nuns' cemetery on the top of the mountain.
In the center, the sky is really fluttering with snowflakes, and the ground that has been cleaned by Sister Devlin has been dyed white.
The dark golden sickle disappeared in Shade's hand, and the nun was standing in front of the cliff ahead. So he bent down, picked up the luxurious silver eyepatch that was more like a crown, and then came to the cliff and stood side by side with the nun.
Shade held the crown and handed it to the nun. The nun seemed a little embarrassed. She turned sideways and put on the eyepatch, letting the hair hanging from her ears cover the sides of the eyepatch. Then she turned to Shade and said:
"I gained a lot."
"It's not far from the 12th Ring Road, right?"
Shade asked with a smile, and Sister Devlin nodded slightly:
"Heroes of Chenghuo, please come and visit here more often when you have time. I can teach you many things... This is my responsibility."
"Of course, I still need your help to learn my thaumaturgy - Moon Dream."
Shade nodded immediately, and Sister Devlin asked again:
"Is there anything you want to ask me now?"
She was probably reminded by her teacher that she felt obligated to give Shade more help.
Shade thought for a while:
"How old are you?"
The indifferent nun just "looked" at him, and Shade smiled sheepishly:
"It seems that this joke is inappropriate. I really have a problem with it. I recently got a large piece of mithril, but it will take a while to melt and forge it. Sister, I know that your eyepatch is also made of mithril, so it can
Can I put on your blindfold and feel the power of mithril alchemy items?"
This time, Shade was absolutely right. Facing the sunlight above the sea of clouds in the distance, in the snow, the indifferent face of this young nun who looked to be only in her twenties showed a red glow.
The air seemed to be still for a second, and then, words that Shade had never thought of came out of the nun's mouth:
"abnormal."
She walked normally, turned around and walked towards the arch leading to the top of the mountain from the nuns' cemetery, leaving the astonished Shade standing there thinking:
"Is this request...unsound?"
Shade only heard "her" smile, but did not notice the real faint smile on Sister Devlin's face as she left with her back turned to him through the snowflakes.
