Chapter 46: Trading Manga for the Frost Divine Sword!
Chapter 46: Trading Manga for the Frost Divine Sword!
As a descendant of the Ice Clan, Mabel Raybell's character is designed to be a cold and aloof ice goddess, with the legendary three-no attributes?
Of course not. In reality, whether it's the ice in her room or her current posture of holding the "Frost Divine Sword," everything was meticulously arranged by Mabel before Nanyezhou and the others entered.
The commotion outside was so loud, and Nanyezhou and his companions didn't lower their voices, so even Mabel, who was inside, naturally knew that the so-called "Hero" had come to their village and intended to borrow the Frost Divine Sword from her.
She is a descendant of the Ice Clan, and now that the "Hero" has come to her door, if she still maintains her lazy and reclusive lifestyle, wouldn't she be looked down upon by the "Hero"?
Therefore, to maintain the dignity of the Ice Clan, the scene that Nanyezhou and his companions saw was deliberately set up by Mabel.
Don't ask why she made her room so icy; the reason is that her previous room was too messy, and Mabel simply didn't have the time to clean it, so she covered everything with ice.
This way, she not only concealed her lazy and reclusive nature but also showcased her dignity, which was not bad at all.
However, in the next few days, she might have to sneak out to stay somewhere else, as even though she is a descendant of the Ice Clan, she doesn't like sleeping in such a freezing environment.
"Are you the descendant of the Ice Clan, Mabel Raybell, who guards the 'Frost Divine Sword'?
We heard that your village is in trouble and plan to slay the Blaze Dragon. We are here to borrow the divine artifact 'Frost Divine Sword' from you to defeat the Blaze Dragon. I wonder if you can lend it to us?"
It must be said that the scene Mabel carefully set up did have some effect. When Nanyezhou and his companions entered, seeing Mabel sitting with her chin resting on her knees, they indeed felt that her presence was very dignified.
Although, in Nanyezhou's perception, Mabel's magic power seemed unremarkable, even weaker than Cui, it was not impossible that she could be a hidden powerhouse.
"Have you brought the Pompom Flowers from Mount Margit?"
To maintain her character, Mabel slowly lifted her head and looked at Nanyezhou and his companions with an extremely cold and lifeless gaze.
In truth, Mabel had no interest in the so-called "Pompom Flowers" and didn't even know what they were for. However, the prerequisite for the Ice Clan to hand over the "Frost Divine Sword" was to complete this task, and she was merely following the procedure.
Don't be fooled by Mabel's appearance as a cold and beautiful girl; in reality, she is a lazy and reclusive person with a fondness for small animals.
Mabel's lazy and reclusive nature is largely due to her mother.
When Mabel was 9 years old, her mother abandoned her to elope with a young man and sold the secrets of the Ice Clan in a book.
Mabel's mother once taught her: "Live as a parasite, die without working. Rely on your ancestors, all thanks to the Frost Divine Sword."
Because of this, Mabel has been living as a parasite in the village, relying on the Frost Divine Sword. Her only job is to guard the Frost Divine Sword and wait for the Hero to come and borrow it.
Mabel is quite content and happy with this job, as she can live a life of idleness and waiting for death. She doesn't care when the Hero will come.
Anyway, even if the Hero does come, she just needs to follow the procedure and complete her "job."
"We didn't find the Pompom Flowers, but we did find some other things to replace them. We hope you can lend us the Frost Divine Sword."
Upon hearing that Yecheng and his companions hadn't brought the Pompom Flowers and instead wanted to take the Frost Divine Sword from her, Mabel Raybell initially intended to sweep them out the door. Although she was lazy and gluttonous, she still had a sense of professional ethics. Besides, she was used to freeload off others, not the other way around. Naturally, she was unwilling to agree.
"Don't rush to refuse, Miss Mabel. Although I don't know what the Pompom Flower means to you, the things we've brought to replace it are far from ordinary. They are, in fact, one-of-a-kind in this world."
As Yecheng spoke, he gestured behind him, and at the same time, Shima Yousuke, understanding his intention, cast a spell. A blank white book instantly transformed into a beautifully illustrated, colorful book.
"I've heard that Miss Mabel is a homebody who dislikes going out... a literary girl. I used to be like that too, so I know what people like us enjoy. This thing in my hand is called a 'manga book,' a rather entertaining pastime. Miss Mabel, why don't you take a look?"
Seeing the manga book thrown in front of her, Mabel initially tried to act indifferent, but the intricate and colorful cover quickly captured her attention. With the thought that just a quick peek wouldn't hurt, Mabel slowly extended her hand and opened the book...
And once she started, she couldn't stop. She felt as if a new world had been opened to her. Before this, Mabel had never imagined that there could be such an interesting book in the world!
Most of Mabel's time spent at home was mostly sleeping, truly a waste of time. It wasn't that she didn't want to do anything else, but there were too few forms of entertainment in this world, and the ones available were too tiring for her. Thus, she naturally ended up just sleeping.
However, the appearance of the manga book today changed Mabel's perspective, showing her that even lying around could be enjoyable.
Deciding to use the manga book as a trade item was something Yecheng and Shima Yousuke had discussed while outside. As fellow homebodies, they knew exactly what their kind needed. For Shima Yousuke, bringing manga to this world was no difficult task; he just needed the Memory Sprite to replicate his memories of manga onto the book.
Their initial goal was to resolve Mabel's inner conflicts, so Yecheng had Shima Yousuke choose a comedic manga.
Seeing Mabel's face contort with suppressed laughter, trying to maintain her cool, Yecheng knew they had succeeded.
In no time, Mabel had quickly flipped through the several dozen pages of the manga, but the plot ended at a cliffhanger, leaving her eager for more.
"How about it, Miss Mabel? The sincerity we've shown should be quite sufficient. Such books are absolutely unique in this world. If you lend us the Frost Divine Sword, in addition to the continuation of the manga you just read, we can provide you with ten more different manga."
