Eighth Crown

Egley is undoubtedly a very good beautiful girl.

Whether it is his face or body, he is first-class eye-catching. Although he usually uses knives and guns, he does not have any girlish temperament, but he has an awe-inspiring chivalrous spirit and a rather heroic taste.

If you are walking on the road, she is definitely a beauty who will turn heads no less than Estes and Dotya.

However, other than that, she has no other advantages.

Although the level is as high as 60, it is enough to be considered a master in this world, but in front of the three of them, it is not enough to see, even Dotya can kill her with one fist.

In addition, Liu Xia is not the kind of person who likes women, and he has already controlled the king in terms of power, so Aigrey has almost no value in Liu Xia's eyes.

"Well...it's not necessary to accept apprentices, after all, I'm still on the way forward."

Liu Xia pondered so much. In fact, this is a lie at all. He has already reached the realm of the Sword Saint. For the time being, it can be said that there is no way to enter, and it is not a problem to accept a few apprentices.

"But if you just teach swordsmanship, then you don't need to accept apprentices. For example, during morning exercises, you can find me as much as you like."

Before Aigre was completely disappointed, Liu Xia changed the subject, which made Aigre overjoyed.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Liangyi!"

Aigrey immediately stood upright, and said with a look of surprise on her face: "I will definitely not delay your time too much, nor will I live up to your expectations, and I will definitely become a powerful swordsman for you to see!"

No, I didn't have any expectations of you at first, and it doesn't matter to me whether you become a powerful swordsman or not.

"By the way, Agre, you just said that you have certain management skills, right?"

Liu Xia said unintentionally: "In that case, as a housekeeper, help me take care of this manor. This is your tuition fee."

Whether it is Liu Xia or Dotiya, if you want to improve in alchemy and item making, you will definitely need a lot of alchemy materials, so you must go out to purchase frequently.

There is no need to do this kind of errands by yourself. Since Aigrei said that she has the ability to manage, then leave the chores to her.

Anyway, it's just a little bit of advice to her during morning exercises. When he was in Chaldea, he often taught Fujimaru Tachika's breathing method during morning exercises, and it didn't take him long.

"Yes! Please leave it to me!"

Aigre gave Liu Xia a standard knightly salute, patted her chest and agreed, "I will definitely take care of this manor in an orderly manner!"

Lucia nodded noncommittally.

Although this girl lacks flexibility, she is indeed very good, and she is full of trust in him and has no second thoughts. It is just right to be a housekeeper.

After that, Liu Xia handed over half of her money to Aigrey, who managed the maids in the manor, and she was responsible for all the daily expenses and purchases.

Afterwards, Liu Xia gave her a list of materials that she and Dotya needed. Aigrei immediately dealt with them, distributed the tasks to the maids, and promised to complete all purchases in the afternoon.

…………

After breakfast.

While the materials had not been purchased yet, Liu Xia left the manor and walked alone towards the outer city of the capital.

In the south of the outer city of the royal capital, on the edge of the town, there is a huge clock tower that is very eye-catching.

This clock tower is very tall, so it is naturally very conspicuous. Even if you can't identify the direction, you can easily touch the clock tower next to it.

After walking for about ten minutes, Liu Xia came to the clock tower with seemingly slow and fast steps.

The bell tower itself, built on top of the dome of a church-style building.

The door here is completely open, it seems that you can come in and out at will, and there are a few people walking around here at will.

Around this church-style building, there is a team of nearly ten royal guards guarding. These guards are scattered on the square in front of the building, and their eyes are swept over the pedestrians, as if they are watching.

When they saw Liu Xia's arrival, these guards were stunned for a while, and then quickly turned their eyes away, pretending not to see him, no one dared to look him directly, and no one dared to come up to stop him.

Although there was no need to block it, this place was originally a public place, and anyone except criminals could enter.

Liu Xia walked into the church building unimpeded all the way.

There is also a middle-aged woman in a black nun's uniform standing beside the door. She seems to be a receptionist here, but because there is no charge and you can't go in and out, she actually has nothing to do.

The moment she saw Liu Xia, she also had a rather surprised look on her face, but she was not a royal guard, and she did not know Liu Xia's identity, but she was simply amazed by Liu Xia's near-perfect appearance.

After entering the church, Liuxia walked up the spiral staircase, and soon came to the top of the clock tower.

There is a huge hourglass here.

The main body of the hourglass is about seven meters, and it is two stories high. There are many decorations on the exterior, with gold and silver trims. The overall appearance is easy to leave a sacred impression.

The sand inside was red for some reason, and was constantly flowing down through the hole.

However, there is still a lot of sand left in the upper part. Looking at the speed of the loss, I am afraid that it will take at least 20 days before the sand inside will completely flow down.

"This is the hourglass carved by the dragon."

Liu Xia raised her head and looked up at the huge hourglass, silently observing the hourglass's condition, "I don't see anything special, but this hourglass can predict the arrival time of the wave, and there is no doubt that it has something to do with the wave..."

He could vaguely see that the sand in the hourglass seemed a little weird, but just looking directly at the red sand, there was an instinctive feeling of being seduced from the depths of his heart.

But other than that, he couldn't see anything.

"There is no specific time, that is to say, only when the sand inside is almost falling can we barely guess the specific time of the arrival of the wave..."

According to Liu Xia's understanding, the hourglass of the dragon carved will start to operate a month before the arrival of the wave, and the sand inside will begin to flow downward, as a warning to the world.

Then after a month, the sand inside will be completely lost to the lower part.

And at the moment when all the sand is lost, the tide will come, and endless monsters will emerge from the cracks in the sky and begin to invade this world and kill the inhabitants of this world.
