Chapter 147: Spindrift Knight Eula! Cryo Imperial Tool: Demon's Extract!
Originally, according to Hearing Hearing Luo Li idea, he was prepared to think of a way to keep Eula from noticing Lumine and the family matters during this time.
But his plan clearly had problems.
Because early the next morning, Eula took the initiative to knock on the door of the detached manor.
When he opened the door.
A beautiful girl with ice-blue short hair came into view.
On her beautiful melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly raised, a pair of pale golden beautiful eyes revealed a sharp light at all times, and the corners of her cherry mouth were slightly upturned, giving people a feeling of aloofness and cold beauty.
The form-fitting outfit in dark blue and silver-white formed the perfect match with her fair and delicate skin, and her long legs, squeezed by pitch-black long-tube high-heeled boots and straps to reveal shallow flesh marks, made the girl look incomparably tall.
This girl, who was like a snow lotus on an iceberg, was the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, one of the three most prestigious families in Mondstadt's history.
Spindrift Knight—Eula Lawrence.
As the only hope for the old remnants of the Lawrence family to revitalize the family glory, the most talented girl in a thousand years chose without hesitation to break with her family after coming of age, and resolutely joined the Knights of Favonius.
Because she was of the bloodline of sinners, she was loathed by the people of Mondstadt, who refused to sell her goods and food.
Thanks to this, Eula could only go out hunting to make a living.
However, even in such a harsh environment, the girl still bloomed proudly like a snow lotus on a high mountain, not shaken or changed by any predicament.
Seeing the familiar figure of the girl, Hearing Luo Li yawned, leaning against the door frame with faint sleepiness.
"It's Eula, what's the matter?"
"Can't I come over if there's nothing?"
Eula, with one hand on her hip, spoke in a light tone, slightly turning her body and twisting her hips, her movements vividly displaying her slender waist and perky buttocks.
Looking at the sky that still hung with dim stars, Hearing Luo Li was speechless; you have a big chest, so you are right.
However, this time period was indeed the time for her activities, because the sentries who had been on duty all night were the most exhausted two hours before sunrise.
"Come in."
Letting the girl enter the house, Hearing Luo Li could never have imagined that he hadn't gone to find her, yet the main person had come to his door herself.
While Hearing Luo Li lay on his side on the sofa, Eula kept examining the interior decorations.
"Hmm, it hasn't changed much since I came last time."
It wasn't dawn yet, but the girl was full of energy, giving comments as she walked around: "This was made by Sister Makoto, right? It's so beautiful; I don't seem to have seen that one last time..."
"Is the monster clearing finished?" Holding a pillow half the height of his body, Hearing Luo Li asked with his eyes half-closed.
"Yeah, it's basically solved; I can rest for a while."
After commenting, instead of sitting on the many empty sofas nearby, Eula sat down next to him as if nothing had happened.
Able to climb from the bloodline of sinners to the position of Reconnaissance Company Captain, Eula's personal ability was undoubtedly top-notch, and she was very capable of dealing with monsters.
Besides monsters, she had also expelled quite a few Hilichurls and Treasure Hoarders.
"That's good."
Turning his head to look at Hearing Luo Li, Eula circled around for a bit, finally revealing the purpose of this trip.
"I just came back yesterday and heard people say that you've been teaching Noelle swordsmanship recently, and you even gave her a few gifts, and let her live in the manor."
The appearance of not caring seemed as if it were just mentioned in passing, but the gaze that glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally showed that her heart was not as calm as it seemed.
Hearing Luo Li probably understood why the girl came, but pretended not to know and said: "After all, she considers herself my student and now serves as a personal maid, so it's normal for a teacher to give two gifts."
"Why don't I have any?" Eula leaned over to his face to look at him: "I'll note down this grudge of favoritism."
"You're going to note down a grudge against me too?"
Hearing Luo Li was between laughter and tears: "You were the one who didn't want to take me as your master at the beginning, and I even gave you pointers, yet now you come to ask for gifts?"
Not only various techniques, but even the method of making the "bone whistle" was told to her.
The girl made good use of the bone whistle, imitating the sound of blowing waves to confuse enemies; the title of Spindrift Knight came from this.
Eula gave a light hum: "Regardless, as a senior in the Knights, you should have some encouragement for your juniors; at least a knight as excellent as me should have been rewarded."
This girl's coquettishness not only didn't make people dislike her, but instead gave people the feeling of acting like a spoiled child asking for a gift.
As for why she didn't want to acknowledge Hearing Luo Li as her master, one would have to ask about the secret buried in the girl's heart.
... Asking for flowers...
If it were the status of a teacher, how could she express her feelings with justification?
Just like Eula's actions, the determination and courage to break with her family, the perseverance and resilience to live by hunting alone—even knowing that Hearing Luo Li had a wife, she would still bravely express herself.
Of course, this was based on the premise that Raiden Makoto didn't seem to care.
Initially, she had also suppressed her dreams of spring.
Until one time later when she was accidentally drunk and exposed herself in front of Raiden Makoto, she was not kept at a distance afterward, nor did she receive words ordering her to stay away from Hearing Luo Li.
Later, as she tested the waters, she became bolder and bolder without realizing it.
Of course, occasionally she would have some small guilt in her heart, but that surging emotion could not be transferred by human willpower.
... 0
Hearing Luo Li pondered for a while: "I really haven't prepared a gift."
Eula's beautiful pale golden eyes turned, and she took the opportunity to propose another suggestion: "In that case, let's just say you owe me a request; besides that, I also want to learn the swordsmanship you taught Noelle!"
"The Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu is not suitable for you."
Hearing Luo Li rejected it, then suddenly remembered something he had obtained through check-ins.
"How about this, you try to act as Noelle's sparring partner these few days, and after it's over, I will give you this thing."
During the speech, he beckoned with his right hand, and suddenly a jar engraved with the Yaksha Archon floated in his palm.
Eula leaned in to watch carefully, and after a long while, she asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"Archon Manifestation: Demon's Extract! The person who drinks it will gain the ability to freely create and control ice!"
"Isn't this overlapping with a Vision?"
Eula, who did not yet understand how powerful this thing was, was a bit strange; she herself had already obtained a Cryo Vision, and had obtained the "Seal of Rime" inherited from her family.
Giving her the ability to control ice again was perhaps a bit of gilding the lily.
Hearing Luo Li twitched the corners of his mouth and reminded: "Don't think you can get all of this; it would be good if you could drink a small portion."
The ability of the Cryo Imperial Tool was definitely not something a Vision could compare to.
Just the ability to freeze time and space was simply an invincible, absolute kill.
