Chapter 70 Melville

Orlando, who left the union, went straight to the private mansion of the city lord. Only here could he completely get rid of the spies sent by various intelligence agencies.

In the spacious atrium, the centurion Fern was still doing morning exercises, and the city lord Servis continued to sleep on a warm and soft bed. The two had no memory of what happened before.

Back in the guest room with a separate courtyard, facing east, Orlando knelt on one knee for the daily morning prayers.

After he finished, he washed his face with clean water, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then sat down at the table to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast served by the servants.

As a follower of Ai Fujia, he is neither the most trusted nor the most capable, but he can survive until now because of his knowledge of current affairs.Although he was full of curiosity about the secret conversation between Link and Servis, this curiosity was only in his heart, and he didn't ask rashly, let alone mentioned it to the goddess.

The complicated life experience and bumpy growth experience have endowed Orlando with extraordinary patience, and he will not be dissatisfied with trivial matters such as being excluded. He is very clear about his position.Since the Son of Nature has clearly expressed his reluctance to say more, it is something he should not know, which means the content is 'dangerous'.

Considering that Link also needed time alone, Orlando was not in a hurry to return to the union after breakfast. He pulled out the double daggers hidden in his boots and oiled them for maintenance, and then replaced the strings of the mandolin that had not been used for many days. Wipe carefully.

On the other hand, after finishing the conversation with Gonzales, Link began to make the strange object promised to Girard.

In the situation where you are not sure how long you will stay in Violet, the sooner you complete it, the less the impact of variables will be.

Considering that Bray's holy emblem is a one-eyed eye wrapped in a triangle, Link did not choose traditional legal weapons such as staves and magic wands, but shaped the shape of the first strange object made for others into a big eyeball.

Because it was a strange thing, Link specially used soul energy and magic essence.In addition to increasing the holder's element perception range and spell power.It also comes with 'the law of causality that randomly teleports the carrier to a safe area once he suffers a fatal injury'.The deep purple color and strange shape add a sense of mystery, as if it has vitality, the eyeballs will rotate by themselves, observe and pay attention to everything around, and give feedback to the owner.

The production of strange objects is very energy-intensive, waiting for Link to complete.It was noon, just as he was about to combine the two meals into one meal.Orlando, who had been away for a whole morning, came back. When he saw the big eyes rolling in Link's hand, his first reaction was the magic item on the city gate.But he soon realized that this was not the Eye of True Knowledge made by Bray before he became a god, but a magic item made by Link.

After getting closer, I can clearly feel that this item is not extraordinary. It has power stronger than the magic bow wind falcon, and the invisible energy is like ripples in the water.A ** spread outward.

Plop!Plop!Just in sync with the heartbeat.

There was a momentary loss of consciousness, and the half-elf who sensed the danger instinctively took a few steps back, only then did he understand why the head of the guild's branch stood far away.In addition to the terrifying eyeball shape, the aura emanating from the artifact itself is also frightening.It's no ordinary magic item, it's a wonder!Didn't Link only promise to make magic items?

"It's just in time, I have something to ask you." While greeting the half-elf, Link asked Yoda for a box to place strange objects, preferably the kind that can isolate magical energy.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. I'll look for it..." Yoda muttered and left, making sure he was far away.Only then did Orlando approach, and asked Link in a low voice why he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to make wonders for the union?

"It's not for the union, it's something I promised someone to do before, and now that I have time, I'll do it together."

"Oh~~" dragged on for a long time.Hearing Yoda's footsteps going back and forth, Orlando turned the topic to what Link wanted to ask himself.

"About Melville, I don't know anything about him. Since you are friends, you should have a certain understanding of his appearance, habits and personality?" Taking the wooden box from Yoda, Link put the strange object In, the size is just right.He also put the communication stone in, picked up a blank enchanted paper, and noted on it that in order to prevent being followed, he would not contact Gonzales again in the short term.

"Find a caravan to bring this to the Duke of Belfast."

"Eh? How could such an important thing be sent hastily like this?" Yoda was very puzzled. Even without that weird magic item, wouldn't the Son of Nature be worried that the letter sent to the Grand Duke would fall into the hands of others?

"It's not something that can't be kept a secret. As for that thing... Heh~ I attached a powerful curse to it. Remember to tell the messenger not to open it. Anyone who touches it without authorization will be killed by the curse."

Link's words made Yoda's hands pause in mid-air.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't move that thing, you'll be fine."

Watching Yoda go out with the wooden box tremblingly, Orlando thought to himself, only the bold and desperate will touch something that looks evil at first glance.But is this really good?Anyway, it is also a strange thing, let the caravan carry it...

Turning his gaze back, seeing Link staring at him steadily, Orlando remembered being asked about Melville before, and quickly replied: "The year he was born happened to coincide with the invasion of the undead, and his parents were farmers near Grantham. , died of the high tide and famine in the Sea of ​​Storms one after another.” While talking about Orlando, he compared his shoulders, “It’s about this tall, and he looks like a malnourished refugee due to long-term exposure to wind and sleeping, and he often stays outdoors. His skin color is slightly darker than the average person’s, and he has heavy dark circles under his eyes. It’s a pity that he is always slovenly, otherwise he will be a handsome guy if he takes good care of himself.”

"It has been more than 40 years since the undead invaded, and he is obviously an uncle." Link complained about Orlando's adjective "handsome guy".

"No way, 40 years old is a young man to me." The half-elf shrugged, "Melville is a typical northern race, with blond hair and blue eyes."

Except for skin color, nothing is the same... Link first raised his height according to what Orlando said, and then adjusted his hair color and eye color to blonde and blue eyes. He was thinking about where to get a mirror to adjust the details of his face. He took out a hand mirror from his pocket and handed it over.

Link couldn't believe it, "You actually carry a mirror with you!?"

"No way, it's the nature of elves to love beauty, even if I have half human blood, I can't restrain it." Orlando replied calmly, and he didn't feel any awkward about carrying a mirror with him as a man.

The back of the pure wooden hand mirror and the handle are simply carved with plant vines as a decoration, which looks a bit old, but it is lubricated and well preserved.Link already had the answer in his heart.This is a style for women. If it is not a gift from a woman, it should be left by his relatives.

Although the clarity of the mirror cannot be compared with modern technology, it is no problem to see the details of the face clearly.

With the transformed body and the ability of the Son of Nature, he can change as he wants. Under Orlando's guidance, Link adjusted his facial features little by little until it was exactly the same as the ranger Melville he was going to play.

Yoda finished handing over the wooden box to the merchant who cooperated with the union and returned. There was no Son of Nature in the hall, but a stranger in his place.

Subconsciously, he asked Orlando: "Who is this?"

"The effect is good." Link nodded in satisfaction, and Yoda was taken aback by his unchanged voice. His attention was attracted by the facial features, and he didn't notice that the clothes were the same as those worn by the Son of Nature.

Orlando pointed to his throat, "Melville's voice is much lower than yours, and it's very hoarse."

After repeated debugging several times, it was finally approved by Orlando.

The half-elf sighed, if it wasn't for Melville's embalming, he would probably have mistaken Link for him.

"Your Excellency, this is..."

Link raised his hand and successfully interrupted Yoda's speech: "From now on, I will play the role of Melville. Don't forget the president's instructions, don't tell anyone."

"Are you planning to leave today?" Yoda naturally thought that the Son of Nature was leaving.

"No, it's just a foreshadowing for the appearance of this character." After dropping this sentence, Link completely disappeared from the room.

Orlando quickly understood Link's intentions. There were too many people monitoring outside the union. If Link went out with Melville's shell like this, he would be exposed immediately.Thinking of this, Orlando immediately set off to the market area outside the city, and ran into 'Melville' played by Link.

The two left one after another, and Yoda was the only one left in the huge union. He activated the audio-visual device and reported the production process of the magic props to the chairman Bridge in Xindu.

Seeing the five items lined up on the long table, including the magic bow, cloak, boots, ring, and necklace, Bridge was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"All of these were made last night?"

"Yes." Yoda said the other three, which were given away by Link, namely the Lord Violet, the patriarch of the Sander dwarves, and the Grand Duke of Belfast.

Even as a craftsman, this speed is too fast?Bridge asked Belloc, who was standing on the side, why Link could make so many magic items in such a short period of time?

"He is a craftsman."

The overly simple answer of the master prop master did not satisfy Bridge.

"What I want to know is why is he so much faster than you?"

"He used divine power, of course fast."

Is that so?No matter, let’s take a look at the finished product first...Bridge asked Yoda to explain the magic props made by Link one by one. Immediately after the demonstration, Bridge finalized splitting the five lots into three auctions. (To be continued..)
