148 The World has Changed (1/2)
”Me king, look at tha arm”
each arm end was attached to matching black gloves and when he touched the end, Stodemar quickly grabbed the arm end and slightly turned it away as a sharp knife came sliding out of the arm
”I call this tha shadow blade”
It was the perfect hidden blade that one could ask for and Stodemar made the mechanism to work very smoothly without cutting Don's flesh or slashing his palm when it comes out
”So cool”
Catalie appeared before Don and looked at the armor with sparkling eyes
”Me king, it's just tha initial state o' tha armor, I wou' have done more work on it if there isn't a gathering ye have ta go”
”We want ye ta look best me king, nae that ye don't now”
”My brother always look good”
Don was really impressed with the armor as it looked stylish, fashionable and at the same time, it could provide more protection and the shadow blade could be used to kill the foes without making too much noise.
”I like it very much”
As he said, Don disappeared from the throne hall and went to his chamber to change into his new armor. Just as he expected, the armor perfectly fitted him and it neither restricted any movements nor felt heavy but quite the contrary it felt light and flexible.
Since he had to show his face in the gathering, Don didn't put the hoods on but put the cape that was excellently designed to cover the bow and sword without affecting the speed and motion of drawing and sheathing them.
The silver linings on the armor perfectly complimented his muscles beneath the armor as well as his raven black shoulder-length hair plus added a fashion element to the armor.
After stretching his arms and legs to get used to the new armor, Don left his room to meet the dwarves again and leave Everlight for Enarin.
”His majesty did this?”
Joel was checking the arrow cluster in the wall with Arrora and Arwen
”I thought he's a swordsman”
”aye nae kidding, we thought that too”
”He did buy that bow for a lot”
Arrora said and pulled out the arrow from the wall
”If the wall was a skull, it would have shattered into pieces”
She had to use some muscle to pull out the arrow and she was a grandmaster
”The bow is certainly helped him but its not the whole reason, Arrora”
Arrora turned her head to see Knight is walking towards them
”He did learn archery by himself while we were in the divine continent, I still can't believe how much stones we spent in buying arrows for his practice”
”Himself? why didn't you two go to a school or a sect if he wants to learn archery”
”I brought him to the best archer in the divine continent, but that old fool rejected Don”
They could see that Knight is still holding a grudge against the old man looking the slight killing intent in his eyes
”Why?”
”Your majesty”
”Me king”
”Is that a new armor?”
Until now Don's old man gave a warrior vibe but this new armor gave a warrior plus a king vibe.
”I like the new cape”
Knight said as the others nodded
”Alright we should go now”
Don took the arrows from Stodemars hand and put them in his space ring, however when Don looked at Arrora and Arwen, he realized that he has one more thing and looking at Don's face and where his gaze at, Knight understood what he's thinking
”You three should wear something else”
Arwen, Joel, and Arrora looked down on their clothes to realized that they are still wearing their usual robes
”yes, wear something fancy, would you? Do nae embarrass our king, you have a hall full of fancy clothes in the castle”
The dwarves chuckled pointing at Arwen and Arrora's clothes as they wouldn't miss a chance to make fun of elves
Arrora hated when the dwarves made fun of the elves and her kind but she couldn't say anything in return now because her clothes were indeed not fancy enough for a gathering of kings. Arwen on the other hand, calmly looked at Don and Don nodded at him to go to the clothes filled hall
”I'll be right back”
Arrora followed Arwen to the hall while the dwarves were still in the joy of successfully making fun of them
”You too Joel”
Knight said as Joel ran back to catch up with Arwen and Arrora since he had no idea of where the clothes hall is
”How many guards do you need?”
