SWNOVELXO Chapter 899: Parade V
A gentle word, comparable to a thousand troops.
At this moment, Marinda's face turned red.
"What did you say?"
The 'Lady of the Long Night' tried to retract her calf while confirming with words again.
"I said I want, on a leisurely afternoon, to wake up on the recliner in the garden with you by my side.
I said I want to wake up in the middle of the night with you by my side.
I said I want to taste something delicious with you sitting next to me.
We can discuss current trends, we can talk about food recipes, and we can envision a beautiful future together—my dear."
Arthur spoke at a steady pace, enunciating clearly.
In Marinda's blue eyes, there was joy.
The calf, which had been struggling to pull out, completely gave up the struggle, and after lifting the other calf, she placed it directly on Arthur's knee.
"Hmm."
Marinda nodded.
The two looked at each other.
There was no epic tumult.
Nor was there any promise of eternal love.
Just at this moment, both felt that the person in front of them was the right one.
For Marinda, the involvement of her cousin made her understand what she wanted in her heart.
As for Arthur?
The young spirit medium would never admit that he had schemed all along.
From the first meeting, Marinda's appearance, dressing, and behavior amazed him.
Then, her graciousness during cooperation further made Arthur express admiration, admitting that his own petty self couldn't match her.
And then?
It must be habit.
Just now, when he thought about Marinda coming, that slight sense of joy, that feeling of satisfaction when preparing snacks—it was all unfamiliar.
But it was enough to make him understand.
Of course, Arthur still wouldn't admit these things.
The young spirit medium would only admit he was looking forward to the next cooperation.
As a spirit medium, Arthur was stubbornly tight-lipped, wasn't he?
In the quiet room, the atmosphere began to heat up.
Or more accurately, it became scorching.
Marinda's blue gaze was like a volcanic eruption beneath a glacier.
Not just scorching, but also mighty.
After confirming her feelings and getting an accurate response from Arthur, Marinda had already become unrestrained—if the place wasn't inappropriate, she would have pounced on him already.
She always wanted to take the initiative.
This time?
Was no exception.
Though previously she had been a lady.
But it wasn't her fault.
Who made her allergic to any man other than Arthur?
Marinda brought their distance closer, inhaling more clearly Arthur's scent, her blue eyes already fixed on Arthur's lips.
Then—
Ahem, ahem.
Arthur gave a gentle cough, reminding Marinda.
The young spirit medium pointed to the room they were in.
Though it was clean, it wasn't exactly simple.
But the young spirit medium felt something was missing.
Missing...
Sunshine!
Creating an unforgettable scene for each other openly in the light.
The young spirit medium thought so.
He thought it should be more formal.
So, the young spirit medium temporarily chose to hold back.
He definitely wasn't worried that if he extended his tongue, Marinda hadn't truly adapted yet, leading to an outcome of imported food.
Reluctantly Marinda moved her gaze away and handed Arthur a palm-sized purse, which was crafted from leather, exuding the 'Silver Age' style.
[Name: Lady Abel's Coin Purse]
[Type: Other Items]
[Quality: Secret Technique]
[Attributes: Space]
[Remarks: After completing her best work at the current stage, Lady Abel, feeling her inspiration exhausted, was ready to set sail.
She believed waves and storms could inspire her creativity.
However, to express gratitude for the South Los Family's support, this master crafted five coin purses before setting off.
This isn't a refined work, but it represents my gratitude—Abel.]
...
[Space: This is a space of 2mx2mx2m]
(Note 1: No further space items can be stored inside)
(Note 2: No living creatures can be stored inside)
(Note 3: Lady Abel's Coin Purse maintains a constant weight of 30g, currently holding Fierce Tiger's Claw X1, Terrifying Wolf's Ear X1, Don Quixote's Faith X1)
...
[Name: Fierce Tiger's Claw]
[Type: Other Items]
[Attribute: Sharpness]
[Remarks: This is the right front claw of an adult fierce tiger, once bought as a decorative piece by the Old Earl of the South Los at an auction, but it possesses extraordinary sharpness, capable of slicing through fine gold armor with ease, though crafting it into a weapon requires highly skilled techniques.]
...
[Name: Terrifying Wolf's Ear]
[Type: Other Items]
[Attribute: Keen Hearing]
[Remarks: This is the left ear of an adult terrifying wolf, once bought as a decorative piece by the Old Earl of the South Los at an auction, but owned by a 'Spiritualist,' even carrying it personally can increase one's hearing by 1-5 times.]
...
Obtaining the final two 'Seventeen Order' base materials allowed Arthur to breathe a sigh of relief.
Before acquiring these two materials, Arthur was always uneasy.
He constantly worried about potential mistakes at critical moments.
Fortunately, there were none!
Then, Arthur's gaze turned to Master Hercules' work—
[Name: Don Quixote's Faith]
[Type: Pendant]
[Quality: Legend (Ⅴ)]
[Attributes: 1. Charge; 2. Paranoia; 3. Forbidden Absurdity (Ⅴ)]
[Requirements: ???]
[Remarks: One of Hercules' twenty-seven props, this was discovered by the Old Earl of South Los as a unique item in a windmill in his countryside estate, leading the Old Earl to believe he was favored by destiny, making him eager to try it out, and then, the Old Earl charged at the windmill...
Afterward, the severely injured Old Earl lay in the family's manor for half a year.
This item was thus shelved.
Yet, it truly is a masterpiece by Master Hercules.
The box containing this pendant had the clearly marked symbol of 13 on it.
However, Lady Abel believed this item held secrets.
Rank 13 is not its true ranking.]
...
[Charge: After locking onto a target in sight, charge towards the opponent with an unstoppable stance. The charge process will not be hindered by methods of V Order or below, and the charging speed reaches V Order, while upon reaching the opponent, they will suffer an impact damage of V Order, and the wearer will endure reactive force of Great Arcana Level.]
[Paranoia: Inner thoughts will not be swayed by any external force.]
[Forbidden Absurdity: ???]
(Note 1: Charge and Paranoia can be used by wearing, Forbidden Absurdity requires ???)
(Note 2: Once Charge is initiated, it cannot be changed. Upon completion, requires a large amount of gold for recharge, or experiencing three full moons to fully recover.)
(Note 3: Hercules left a hint—Rainbow Island!)
...
Upon seeing that hint, Arthur narrowed his eyes.
