Chapter 1179: Chapter 460: Five Families Pressuring_1

When it was daylight, Owen Bertram appeared with Santa and Magpie, swaggeringly standing outside the door of Mingzhen Temple. A Tier-6 Monster Beast, a Tire-7 predecessor, and not far from Eden Cave, there was actually a Tire-8 Sword Artifact! So Owen Bertram was indeed determined to make a scene this time!

His Majesty’s agreed feast is the day after tomorrow, and Owen wants to settle this matter before then. When the five founding dukes withdraw on their own, it can’t be said that I, Owen Bertram, didn’t show respect to the Empress, right?

"Master Howar divined yesterday and said there was a danger to himself, so he immediately entered the capital, seeking protection from noble aura..." The little Taoist boy who opened the door of the Taoist temple, looked at the evil-looking Magpie, almost crying, but still honestly reported the situation.

Owen Bertram raised his eyebrows: "Ran away? Did Howar tell you to say this?"

Hiding from Magpie’s gaze, the little Taoist boy sniffed and answered honestly: "Yes, I spent a long time memorizing this. The Daoist Master said that as long as I recite it word for word, he’ll bring me a box of the spring honey pastries from the capital when he returns."

Owen Bertram couldn’t help shaking his head, but he could see at a glance that this Taoist temple had no cultivation tradition. Since Howar was not there, Owen would not do something tasteless like venting his anger on the temple.

"Noble aura for protection?" Owen Bertram murmured to himself, "He went to find those five founding dukes." With that, he turned and left with Santa and Magpie. Santa would be fine, but Magpie wouldn’t be allowed into the capital.

Owen Bertram contemplated how to force Howar out of the duke’s mansion after returning to the capital, when he suddenly remembered another matter: He should pay a visit to Swordswoman.

He informed Santa and Magpie that he would return shortly and then he entered Eden Cave. Owen thanked Swordswoman for her help last time, and introduced her to the ancient sword artifacts in Eden Cave that had followed the exploits of the Flying Bear Army.

Swordswoman was very satisfied, and on her delicate face, disguised as a black-clothed woman, remained as calm as water. However, she lightly tilted her chin a few times. Owen Bertram prepared to leave, but Swordswoman spoke: "Last time, when I sent my sword energy through the air, I noticed that you obtained a magic treasure?"

Upon recalling, Owen took out the Skin Shedding Treasure: "Miss is referring to this?"

In Swordswoman’s always calm eyes, ripples finally stirred. She unconsciously stepped forward and asked, "May I... take a closer look?"

Owen immediately held it out with both hands. This treasure was given to him by his second brother, and no one else could take it away. Swordswoman took it and gently stroked the surface with her fingers, causing a clanging sound like swords being drawn.

Owen thought to himself even if you liked it, this thing was given to me by my second brother. Everything else can be discussed, but this thing really can’t be given to you.

Swordswoman returned the Skin Shedding Treasure with courtesy and asked softly, "It seems that the outside world has changed somewhat?"

"Miss, did you feel it too?" Owen’s heart moved. Had this girl become enlightened through stillness? Owen Bertram then talked to her about the Origin Resurgence. Swordswoman was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Bertram once asked me if I wanted to go out and see the world. I told him that Eden Cave still needs me to preside over it. Master Howar is gracious to everyone, and I cannot abandon it and leave."

Owen Bertram nodded his head. The ancient sword artifacts in Eden Cave seemed to be gradually birthed because of that "divine artifact."

Swordswoman continued, "There is actually another reason. If I go out, my aura cannot be converging, and it will definitely bring about various changes."

Owen couldn’t help but say, "Now... Does Miss have a way to conceal her aura?"

Swordswoman looked at the Skin Shedding Artifact in Owen Bertram’s hand and said softly, "It depends on the treasure in your possession. Don’t laugh at me, but this young girl’s original form doesn’t have a sword sheath." While saying this, her face revealed a rare shyness. Owen couldn’t help but find this amusing. What was going on, had Swordswoman thought that having no sword sheath was like a worldly woman not wearing clothes?

Owen asked, "So, because you don’t have a sword sheath, you can’t converge your powerful sword energy?"

"That’s right."

Owen Bertram generously said, "Miss has helped me a lot. If you don’t mind, I’ll lend this treasure to you for now." Swordswoman didn’t thank him immediately, but instead said, "Please think it over carefully, Mr. Bertram. If I reside in this treasure, it won’t be able to serve any other purpose. I can see that this treasure is indeed extraordinary. Are you really willing to lend it to me?"

Owen Bertram waved his hand magnanimously, "No need to think about it, I’ll lend it to you." He handed over the Skin Shedding Artifact, "I owe Miss too much. Please don’t be polite to me."

"Thank you very much," Swordswoman took the Skin Shedding Treasure, and somehow elongated it to the length of a sword sheath in her hand. The black-clothed woman suddenly transformed into a whirlwind and entered the sheath, Owen felt a blur before his eyes, and the cold and stunning woman had vanished, leaving an unadorned and simple long sword before him.

The Skin Shedding Artifact had actually become a sword sheath.

The voice of Swordswoman came from the sword, "Thank you, Mr. Bertram. I can finally go out and see the world."
