Chapter 11
Relin bit her lips and continued acting. She said in a soft and low voice, "What...what are you planning to do with me?" while looking at him with a pitiful expression.
Duwei laughed and scanned her teasingly. She could feel that there was no sign of desire.
Duwei threw her a blanket to cover her body.
"I don’t want a half naked girl staring at me when I am concentrating. Your acting was horrible. I still have things to do. If you want to seduce me, think of something else while I work."
This tone, those eyes, gosh, what kind of boy is this. Relin thought. He’s seemed more experienced than I am.
Duwei found a comfortable position in the chair and took out a magnifying gla.s.s. He scanned the patterns on the armor carefully and even copied them down on paper.
All the while Relin didn’t said a word. She just stare at this weird guy. How can a boy act like he had so much experience with women?
"I am interested in your three equipments." Duwei said without raising his head. "The leather armor has a magical pattern on it, increasing strength and agility. Looking at the corner of this armor, it seems like this armor had lived through quite some time. In my eyes, it has more value as an antique than an armor. Furthermore, there’s an emblem engraved. If my memories are correct, it belonged to a branch of the Stujiad. Stujiad is an ancient family that prevailed three hundred years ago, but they started declining a hundred years ago. That’s when they were separated into seven or eight middle sized families."
"And your scimitar. Girls aren’t suited to using scimitars, because they required exceptional strength on the wrist. Only the foreigners living on the north west use this kind of weapon. And you..." Duwei casually took at look at her. "You have brown hair and blue eyes. This denoted you have the blood of the middle south part of the kingdom. I don’t know what your combat techniques are, but from what I saw earlier, you seem more adept at using swords. Even though you don’t have the strength, the enchant from that armor helped you so you could barely use the scimitar. There’s also a magical crystal embedded on the scimitar that can store mana. And a magic circle carved onto the scimitar that lets you use wind magic. Users with enough technique could cast a Wind Blade spell using this scimitar. This... I don’t think you could do it with your current level."
Relin was astonished. Everything he said was correct.
"But that bow is what I am most curious about." Duwei picked up the bow. " The pattern on this bow symbolizes the power of the moon. According to what I read, there’s an ancient family that used the moon’s power as a totem, the Muen family. They prevailed seven hundred years ago, when half of this continent belonged to them. They believed in the Moon G.o.ddess. But unfortunately, during the continental war a few hundred years back, the Muen family’s kingdom was destroyed. Then the continent was united under the Luolan. It was said the Muen family was extinct."
"I am curious, how can a low level adventurer like you, with low level combat techniques, have three valuable enchanted equipments. Oh and one from the north, one from north west, and the last from an extinct family. So who are you?"
If Mr. Rosia were to hear what was just said, he would feel so proud for this student, and unfair that Duwei was rumored r.e.t.a.r.ded. Even though the explanation seemed simple, they included knowledge of emblems, totems, and the history of the continent. Duwei also said everything without looking up any data. As though he had memorized everything in his head.
"How...how did you know all this?"
"Books." Duwei put down the bow. "Books contained all of human’s knowledge. And knowledge is the lighthouse for human to move forward. I started reading these books at age 6."
"Six? Then you must be a genius. Have you read a lot of books?" Relin sigh.
"I did read quite a bit. But I
