Chapter 4 Part 1: The Blood Weapon Secret
The blacksteel machete snapped cleanly into two.
"Ah!"
Anna hurriedly covered the two sisters' eyes.
The scene was too gory.
Lu Fei merely flicked his sword opposite him, the five men were all cut in half at the waist at the same time.
Five level-4 adventurers, wiped out in an instant!
Lu Fei calmly walked over, took their purses, then used explosion magic to blast their bodies into ash. The ambush was thus resolved.
Having been attacked by immoral adventurers, Anna had no intention of continuing to stroll.
They returned straight to the inn to rest.
After all, the two sisters had been frightened.
Lu Fei noticed that Amy seemed like she wanted to say something and looked puzzled.
"Amy, is there something you want to ask me? You can just ask after all, we're companions now."
"Um… sorry."
Amy apologized instinctively, bit her lip, and then spoke.
"Brother Lu Fei, how do you have an elf blood-weapon?"
"Elf blood-weapon?"
Anna also looked confused.
"Amy, what is an elf blood-weapon?"
Fear flashed across Amy's face, and she spoke while trembling: "It's a weapon made by very cruel means."
"Didn't I say earlier? Our elven race has a special branch called elemental elves."
"And now, elemental elves are almost never seen some are in hiding, and some have been captured by cruel, evil humans to be used for forging weapons."
"And elf blood-weapons are powerful weapons made from high-grade elemental elves."
"Because of the special nature of elemental elves, these weapons possess formidable magic conduction, even boosting the power of techniques so every elf blood-weapon's birth consumes the life of a high-level elemental elf!"
Hearing this, Lu Fei understood at once.
"You're saying the holy sword in my hand is an elf blood-weapon?"
"Esther, come out."
Lu Fei summoned Esther at once.
Anna, quick as a flash, grabbed a garment and wrapped it around Esther's snow-white body.
"Mm… what is it, Master? I haven't slept enough."
The petite silver-haired girl rubbed her drowsy eyes and looked around in confusion.
"Ah! An elemental elf and a very high-grade one!"
Amy cried out.
"So, Esther, you're an elemental elf? Do you remember anything from before you became a sword spirit?"
Lu Fei asked curiously.
At this, Esther blinked and gazed at him with a doll-like innocence.
In the end, she calmly uttered:
"I don't know."
"Uh…"
"I don't remember, Master. I only know I was always sleeping before. That Reinharlut kept trying to make me acknowledge him he was so noisy. I was so sleepy that I casually gave him usage rights and continued sleeping."
"Only when I met you, Master, did I wake up a little."
"I see. Then keep resting you worked hard today."
Lu Fei rubbed her small head. Esther looked pleased, then turned into a ray of light and entered the sigil on his hand.
"Amy, Ellie, this sword in my hand was taken from a guy named Reinharlut supposedly a Sword Saint."
"We believe you, Brother Lu Fei."
Amy exhaled in relief, then continued: "Someone recognized by an elemental elf wouldn't be a bad person. But I still hope, Brother Lu Fei, that you can treat Senior Esther well."
"Senior?"
"Yes. Actually… there's a stone statue of her in our village. She seems to have been a hero who once saved the elven homeland."
"There's that too?"
Lu Fei was a bit baffled.
With Esther's innocent, dazed look she was once a hero?
He felt Esther might be hiding something from him.
But forget it.
Since she was a partner, he only needed to trust her.
"Alright, now that we've clarified things, let's rest well."
"Amy, Ellie, familiarize yourselves with your abilities too. Tomorrow we'll formally take a commission, complete it, and raise our levels to 5 as soon as possible, then form our own adventurer team!"
Anna smiled as she spoke.
"Yes! We'll work hard not to drag you down."
"Good. Xiao Fei, same for you. The adventurer card shows adventurer strength in precise numerical form, so practice your magic well, too."
"Uh, my magic isn't easy to practice."
Lu Fei awkwardly leaned to Anna's ear and whispered about his magic's nature.
"Sister Anna, my magic only harms. Whatever the spell, once I cast it, the only effect is what you saw that day an explosion, with violent mana rending everything around."
"So I call it explosion magic."
"So dangerous a power? Indeed, you can't practice it randomly. But what about that sword technique you used just now?"
"That was just using Esther to release my mana in the form of a slash. It unexpectedly increased sharpness and stripped the violence."
"But if I increased my mana output, it would probably still turn into an explosive effect."
As Lu Fei spoke, his gaze fell softly on her delicate face.
"More important than my practice is raising your level first, Sister Anna."
"Let's take a level-4 magical beast subjugation tomorrow break your level cap."
"That way Amy and Ellie can gain experience, and I can see how my magic changes after my adventurer level breaks through."
"Okay, we'll do as you say."
Seeing that he spoke logically and considered her first, Anna couldn't help rubbing his hair.
Lu Fei was right.
Her strength needed to improve.
She was the older sister.
Though being protected by Xiao Fei was nice, she more wanted to use her own power to protect Lu Fei and the sisters Amy and Ellie.
The elf sisters had nowhere to go and no home.
And she and Xiao Fei, because of Viscount Morgan, couldn't return to their original home.
Thus, Anna cherished her current family very much.
As long as family was there, anywhere could be home.
And happiness needed power to protect it.
Anna had long wanted to level up. Previously, because of Kate's manipulations, she'd deliberately not take level-4 magical beast subjugations.
Now, with Lu Fei here, she felt assured.
After killing those few level-4 adventurers earlier, they had also obtained two blacksteel weapons.
Anna decided to exchange them tomorrow.
They were blades she didn't like using them.
So she planned to change them for swords.
…
At the tavern.
Wick was waiting for something.
Thinking of Anna's hot figure, snow-white skin, and exquisite, alluring face, Wick blushed.
It was excitement.
Such a beautiful, enticing top-tier beauty being a level-5 adventurer and a captain, Wick naturally had ideas.
Since ancient times, beauties belonged to the strong.
Among adventurers, that was almost an iron rule.
Indeed
Those five level-4 adventurers had been sent by Wick.
He was just waiting for his underlings to bring Anna over and into his bed.
Of course, there were also the two little elven beauties their skin was white and tender; surely they would taste sweet.
Wick swallowed.
"Boss, bad news! Miles and the others got taken out!"
Suddenly, a team member ran over in a panic, reporting the situation.
"What?"
