Chapter 492 - Elves of the Wind
“Sir Rhode! Sir Rhode!”
“Argh…” After a while, Rhode regained consciousness and Lapis’s screams had given him a huge headache. He felt powerless and his brain had as though been drilled into.
Rhode opened his eyes slowly and he saw Lapis’s ashen face instantly. The young lady’s forehead was full of sweat as she heaved a sigh of relief. “Sir, you collapsed so suddenly and I didn’t know what to do. I would have gone to get Miss Marlene and the others to help if you didn’t wake up.”
“How… How long have I been unconscious?”
“Only for a few minutes, Sir Rhode. Fortunately, you didn’t collide into anything when you collapsed.”
“…” Rhode recalled the clutter of mess on the workshop ground and he believed that he must’ve been extremely lucky to not hit his head into anything… But why did I faint so suddenly? That’s right. I came to the workshop to check on the twin daggers and… there was a burst of scarlet radiance when I touched their blades…
Rhode gazed at his right hand and there was nothing. But he was sure that what he saw wasn’t imaginary. The scarlet radiance that he had witnessed was very similar to the one that he dreamed of when he met the little girl who looked exactly like him and Christie.
Are they related?
Rhode lifted his groggy head and sat up slowly. Shortly after, he felt a soft sensation at the back of his head as well as Lapis’s soft shriek. Rhode ignored her and continued to stand up while holding his palm against his forehead. After a few moments, Rhode opened his eyes again and gazed at Lapis. “Phew… I feel much better now, Lapis. What’s wrong…?”
Celestina seemed to hail from the Ancient War Period and the equipment of these two girls also seemed to appear during the Creation War. Did this mean that there was some sort of connection between the Holy Sword Cards?
“Hmm…” Along with a soft moan, the two girls opened their eyes at the same time. Their eyes wandered around the workshop and finally, both of them focused their attention on Rhode.
