Juliana’s workshop Chapter 68: Miss and toys
In the garden of a certain manor, a woman in loose home clothes sits at a small round table with a maid holding an umbrella next to her to shield her from the sun. Barr walked towards her and bowed slightly to her.
“Barr, sit down.” The woman said, “Let an old man stand, I don’t feel very comfortable in my heart.”
”Thank you for your kindness, miss.” Barr said, and simply sat on the chair beside the woman, “but I’m afraid this is not what you really meant.”
“Yes, I just think it’s an eyesore for you to stand next to me.” The woman said, “You are too big, Barr.”
Barr smiled, “I am your protector and steward, miss. If I were not like this, I am afraid I would not be reassuring.”
The woman snorted a few times, “It’s just to reassure my father and uncle… But, in fact, they don’t care about me too much.”
“They have more urgent things to do,” Barr said.
“And I have nothing to do, just like those noble masters and eldest ladies.”
“So are you, miss.”
Hearing what Baal said, the woman chuckled, “You are so merciless, Baal.”
“Serve you, there are not so many unnecessary rules around those people.” Barr also put a smile on his face, “At least you won’t whip me for it.”
”There are not many people who dare to whip your whip, Baal…at least in King’s Castle, I haven’t heard of anyone who has the courage to treat you as a silver warrior.”
“You have a reputation.”
“Then, let me see the stuff you brought back today.” The woman said, “You don’t agree with me to go to the store, but at least let me know what’s in the store. “
When the woman said this, Barr’s face showed hesitation.
“It’s not like you, Barr.” There was a little urging in the woman’s words, “Don’t tell me you bought a bomb, so you are as awkward as a little girl now.”
“That’s not a bomb.” Barr said, “but…maybe not much better than a bomb.” Barr beckoned to the young male attendant standing in the distance. The attendant walked to Baal and the woman to salute, but did not speak aloud.
“That spinning top.” Barr said to the attendant.
The attendant took out a thing from his arms, and the thing caught the woman’s gaze. It was a silver-white top, shiny, and there were fine thorns on it. If it was held in the hand, it would make people worry about whether it would pierce the finger. When the attendant took the top in his hand, he appeared very careful.
“What is this?” the woman asked.
“A spinning top, miss.” Barr replied.
The woman sighed, “I know this is a top, but if it’s just a top, do you need to take it out?”
“It’s not necessary,” Barr said, and then to the attendant: “Throw the top…throw away.”
The attendant threw the spinning top far away and landed on an open area with bushes.
After falling on the ground, the top spun automatically.
“Oh, I didn’t have such a convenient toy when I was a kid.” The woman pursed her mouth and put her fingers at the corners of her mouth. “At that time, I had to prepare the rope and stick by myself.”
“It’s not limited to this, miss.” Barr said.
When the spinning top is spinning, the thorns spread out and follow the spinning of the spinning top to spread around and turn into silver petals. The woman widened her eyes slightly, “Well, I didn’t have such a toy when I was a kid.”
“No child can get this kind of toy from their parents.” Barr said, “You can’t even be a lady.”
“I really don’t have such a luxurious and beautiful thing.”
“It’s not just for this reason,” Barr said. On the round table was placed a plate of fruit. The woman didn’t touch the fruits that were washed to be crystal clear or shiny. Barr picked up a green fruit from the fruit plate and threw it to the spinner. In the top.
The fruit fell on the top of the top. Before it fell to the ground, it had been cut into strips, and it fell on the ground with the silver whirlwind. The fruit was chopped to pieces by the rotating thorn sticks, and the most surprising thing was that the flesh was still connected in one piece and not broken.
The woman who saw this scene finally couldn’t help but sighed and slapped her palms, “This is indeed… not something a child should play with. What a pervert a child who can play with this kind of toy is. And cruel little beasts?”
“Maybe it will be the child of the devil.” Barr said, “but it’s definitely not for ordinary people’s children.” Speaking of this, Barr beckoned to the attendant standing aside, “Hone your weapon. .”
The attendant nodded, drew the long sword from his waist, and walked towards the spinning top. The attendant walked very slowly, approaching the top cautiously, as if he was facing a beast. When his sword touched the gleaming silver whirlwind, a piece of sparks were rubbed between the sword and the thorn bars, splashing around, many of which splashed on the attendant.
When the same steel creation collided, the spinning speed of the top seemed to become faster, and the spinning thorn chain shone with silver light, colliding with more sparks. The attendant held a sword in both hands and pressed it against the whirling thorns, his forehead began to sweat, and the muscles of his arms were trembling slightly. The top seemed to have self-consciousness, and felt that the other party was getting weaker and spinning more vigorously. When the attendant was about to hold on, Barr shouted: “Get back!”
The attendant retracted the sword, stepped back several steps, and returned to Barr’s side, panting. The top was still spinning on the spot, returning to its initial stability.
“Give me the sword.” Barr stretched out his hand to the attendant, and the attendant honestly offered the sword with both hands. Barr put the sword on his thigh, and the woman moved her head over.
The sword of the attendant is not a rare weapon, but it is definitely not a common product. If this good sword made of fine iron is placed outside, I am afraid that ordinary weapon merchants will not find a few, and it is appropriate. Make a sign in the shop to offer. But it is this sword, now the blade is full of dense gaps, and the body of the sword is full of circles of patterns-that is scraped out by thorns. For a sword, there is no more terrible and devastating encounter, but it has not lost its sharpness. The gaps on the blade are densely packed together, making the sword look like a sawtooth. . If a blade like this were to slash a person’s body, it would probably pull out a thin piece of flesh and blood, and iron filings might even infiltrate the wounded person’s flesh and even blood vessels. This sword did not directly turn into a piece of rotten iron. Before it was completely destroyed, it could still destroy people with flesh and blood-at least it could be used once or twice.
“Can I touch it?” the woman said to Barr.
Barr shook his head~IndoMTL.com~ I’m afraid I can’t let you touch such a dangerous thing. “His fingertips were pressed on the blade and slid gently. The blade with dense serrations did not cut his fingers, but left a red mark on his fingers. “Fragile, like shattered. Glass, but more vicious than glass. “
“I don’t think the top is vicious, right?” The woman looked at the spinning top. At this time, the spinning speed of the top finally started to slow down, no longer shining silver light. When the top stopped, the thorn bars had shrunk back to the top. It stood upright there without falling down.
Barr asked the attendant to pick up the top and put it down on the round table. “Take this sword back to the furnace. You can change it.” Barr handed the sword to the attendant, and after receiving the sword respectfully, the attendant turned and left.
The top was placed upside down on the table, just beside the fruit bowl. The woman stretched out her hand, trying to touch the top covered with thorns, but the hand stopped in the air and finally retracted it. “I’m not a stupid kid… at least I have to know what this is.”
“Top,” Barr said.
“What?” The woman didn’t understand why Barr said so suddenly.
“The store manager, and the girl, all said this is a spinning top.” Barr continued, “There is nothing else to say.”
”It doesn’t look like a spinning top.”
“I know, but it is indeed a spinning top. At least that’s what the producer said.” Barr said.
“I really want to meet the producer.”
Barr hesitated for a while before continuing, “If they didn’t deceive me, the producer…is a girl. It’s the girl I met in the store.”
The woman touched her lips, “This makes me more curious.”
