Chapter 206 It smells so good, can I drink your blood?
It's still the same familiar cloth bag, although offering gold coins as an apology sounds a bit tacky.
But she's just a common person, so giving her gold coins isn't out of the question. (￣￣￣??)??°
Lin Shuwan, who remained unfazed by Tronos's advances, took the bag with the same speed as before, but the weight seemed off: "Not gold coins?"
She carefully placed the flower wreath on her head and then opened the bag.
I was immediately struck by what was inside:
A whole bag full, probably more than thirty, each sapphire the size of an egg!
The color, the sheen.
Could it be the legendary Starlight Blue?
She remembered that five years ago, Viscountess Evan White had received one.
After the necklace was made, a grand banquet was held, inviting nobles from the territory to admire it, making it the center of attention.
During that time, the maids in the mansion talked most about the value of that starlight blue gemstone.
She overheard that supposedly one of these pills could buy a city…
Lin Shuwan could hardly believe her own judgment: "What kind of breed is this?"
Tronos frowned, searching through his long memory: "It should be called Starlight Blue. Don't you like blue? This color would look good if you smashed it and put it on the hem of your skirt."
smash?!
She must have heard right, all of these were used to decorate her dress!
This huge bag of starlight blue, smashed it up, to decorate her dress!
“What a waste…”
The thought of her smashing a city's worth of gems and sewing them onto her dress made Lin Shuwan's expression twist involuntarily.
Tronos was somewhat surprised by her reaction: "What, you don't like it? If you don't like it..."
"I like it, I like it so much!"
Lin Shuwan hurriedly replied, clutching the cloth bag, her tone completely changing from her previous flattering manner:
“Generous wizard, please allow me to apologize for my rude behavior just now. It was not something a proper lady should do to shut you out.”
Tronos was taken aback by the speed at which she changed her expression.
I was originally thinking that if she didn't like it, he could look for other colors and varieties, and she could choose any pearls or jade she wanted.
But since she likes these things, I won't say anything more for now.
The others can perhaps be saved for next time.
Tronos, who was secretly plotting something, smiled and returned Lin Shuwan's polite bow: "It was my rudeness. I hope my apology can make amends for my rash behavior just now."
Lin Shuwan was still a little angry when this was mentioned, but for the sake of the gem in her hand, she muttered, "Just consider it as being bitten by a fly."
Alas, this ordinary woman ultimately succumbed to the allure of immense wealth.
Unaware that she had lost out on others because of her quick tongue, Lin Shuwan silently berated herself before quickly letting go of her emotions. She greedily took one out of her bag and kissed it hard: "Don't do it again!"
After kissing them, she took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the newly acquired treasures, casually asking, "Where did you get so many?"
"You could say it was stolen."
Tronos looked at the gemstone held in Lin Shuwan's hands and felt a strange sense of envy.
"Grab it!"
Lin Shuwan quickly put the gemstone back into the bag, hugged it tightly like a cat guarding its food, and looked at Tronos, saying:
"They won't come knocking on my door, will they? Let me make this clear: if they do come looking for trouble, it'll be to cause you. But since these are given to me, they're mine now."
Tronos was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, they're all yours. They won't have a chance to cause you any trouble."
"That's fine."
Lin Shuwan felt a little relieved: "I didn't realize you would steal these things. Could it be that you stole those gold coins too?"
Tronos leaned against the door and smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Vampires' endless lifespan has allowed them to accumulate considerable wealth.
After he killed them, they all became his property.
I was just thinking that as long as I had enough, I would get more when I ran out.
But I have a little money-grubber by my side, so it seems I'll have to sort things out properly in the future.
He remembered killing what seemed to be a Black Zealot that was particularly fond of collecting jewels and had lived in Draconia in its previous life.
Maybe I can go check tonight to see if those things are still there.
"They're really unlucky to have met you," Lin Shuwan said, feigning a sigh, but when she looked up, she saw Tronos looking at her with a half-smile.
She chuckled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, how did you know I lost control yesterday?"
"And how did you know those dresses were mine?"
"And where did you find out where Lunette lives?"
Lin Shuwan became increasingly suspicious as she spoke: "You haven't been secretly following me all this time, have you?!"
Tronos's expression froze. Although he hadn't been following her, her words made his previous behavior of secretly keeping an eye on her seem rather strange.
He avoided discussing other topics, only saying, "If I were to follow you, you would definitely notice."
"Yes, I'm sure I can smell your fragrance."
Lin Shuwan nodded in agreement, "Given my condition at that time, it was only after I was far away from you that I started to get a little better. How did you know?"
Before Tronos could think of an explanation, she rested her chin on her hand and muttered to herself, "I remember you said you could sense movement in the Misty Forest, does that mean you can sense movement in the town too?"
“Cough, that’s right, that’s it.” With the excuse handed to him, Tronos had no reason to refuse and readily admitted it.
"Your scope is really wide," Lin Shuwan remarked. "I wish I could know what's happening so far away from home."
"It's not impossible." Tronos produced a mirror and handed it to Lin Shuwan. "What do you want to see?"
Lin Shuwan took the mirror and looked at it from left to right, full of curiosity: "Is there anything special about this mirror? Could it be one of those talking magic mirrors?"
"Ahem." She cleared her throat, adjusted the flower wreath on her head, and asked in a mocking tone, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Oh, no, the vampire."
Tronos was charmed by Lin Shuwan's coquettish and arrogant demeanor. He raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth and explained, "This is just an ordinary mirror."
"However, I think if it could speak, it would surely say that Miss Aurora, who lives in the western part of the Misty Forest in the town of Evandel, is the most beautiful and special vampire in the Calasdia Dynasty."
Once those cool, clear eyes begin to gaze at someone, they can only hold that one person in their eyes.
"Smooth-talking." Lin Shuwan's face flushed, and she threw the mirror back to Tronos. "Why did you give me a regular mirror if it's just a regular mirror!"
Tronos tapped the mirror: "Wherever you want to see, I can show you what you want to see."
As he spoke, the image of the streets of Evandel Town automatically appeared in the mirror.
"How amazing, can it do anything?" Lin Shuwan became interested again, ignoring her previous shyness, and leaned closer to ask.
"Currently, my ability only allows you to see the scene within a thirty-mile radius," Tronos said calmly.
"This is already quite far."
Lin Shuwan moved closer to Tronos, grabbed his arm, and said, "Then I want to see what Emily is doing."
"Still not giving up?" Tronos disagreed verbally, but the image of the tailor shop appeared in the mirror just as Lin Shuwan wished.
