Chapter 57 The Invitation of the Karen Family
"By the way, this is a lawyer I know. If you want to sue that damn crocodile farm, you can call her."
Bella took a pen and paper and wrote down the phone number of lawyer Jerry Hogarth.
That broken crocodile farm can't let go of anything. I heard that there are hundreds of crocodiles, so how many did she kill? How many crocodiles are still raging? How many people will be killed? It's all unknown, jointly sued! Report until the family goes bankrupt!
"Okay! By the way, this is for you. I found it at the beach when I was a child. It's not worth much, so let's keep it as a souvenir. If you come to Florida next time, you can come to my house to play."
Hailey handed Bella a bracelet with what appeared to be a wooden rudder pendant in the middle, dark and a little tattered.
Hailey smiled and waved goodbye to her, and hurriedly boarded the helicopter to accompany Dad to the hospital in Atlanta.
Bella looked back and forth at the rudder, which was only the size of a fingernail. When it was in Hailey's hands before, there was no abnormality, but in her hands, she seemed to feel a very subtle magic floating.
Is this a magic item?
There seemed to be a line of text on the front of the rudder, which she read carefully against the light.
The text is in Spanish, and Fox High School has a Spanish course, and Bella is doing well.
Although the handwriting was extremely vague, she still read out the speech: "Flying Dutchman?"
She weighed the fingernail-sized rudder twice. Is this the famous ghost ship Flying Dutchman? Is that all that remains now? Only one rudder left, or a smaller version?
Will Turner spoiled the good stuff too, didn't he?
The surface of the rudder seemed to be burnt by fire. Bella threw it into the water and tried it, but there was no response at all. She didn't know how to use this thing at all. Is it because I haven't found the correct way to use it, or is this thing too broken and unable to exert its former power? She doesn't know the answer either.
The problem can only be solved later. In any case, the mission of Florida has been successfully completed this time.
A total of Barbossa's swordsmanship, an ice ray spell, a pointer that will always point to Hailey, and a rudder related to the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman, were harvested before and after.
It seems to have gained a lot, but it doesn't seem to be of much use in reality...
Returning the rental car to the rental company, she flew back to Seattle, back to her own town of Forks.
......
Back in Forkstown, Bella had nothing to do but go to school.
Snow White's opera was staged as scheduled, and the town residents and teenagers all expressed their affirmation of her performance. She portrayed a weak and strong character Snow White to the fullest. Many people have used the title of princess to make fun of her.
While harvesting the praise, Bella did not relax on her own training.
On weekends, she gallops through the dense woods outside the town.
In her right hand is a rapier bought from Seattle. She assumes that she is being besieged by several enemies. The rapier parries and attacks, and then parries and then attacks, trying to master the rhythm of this martial art. Confine the enemy within your attack range.
Barbossa's swordsmanship hides a lot of sinister tricks, such as hitting and hitting, taking out a fire gun, shining a gun on the face, and shooting the enemy is an example.
At that time, he was limited by technology and materials. There was no need to practice marksmanship, and practice was useless. It was completely random marksmanship. Once the distance exceeded ten meters, even he himself did not know where the bullets would hit.
Bella's conditions are much better. She got two Glock pistols and some ammunition from Comrade 006's safe house. She must not have a gun license, and the ballistic data of the firearms has not been registered with the police station.
But it's okay to practice in the dense woods.
Use the rapier to attack more than a dozen swords in a row, then pull out the pistol from the back and shoot at the front quickly, or use the ice ray instead of the firearm.
Bella is trying to improve her fighting ability.
"It's amazing!" Alice Cullen, a female vampire who had been at the same table several times, sat on a tree trunk not far away and applauded her.
Huh? When did this guy come? Didn't you find out?
Bella felt that she had to hurry up and develop a reconnaissance spell, otherwise it would be troublesome the next time she encounters an enemy.
She put away the rapier as if she didn't care: "Is it only you? What about the members of your family?"
Alice Cullen jumped off the tree with a smile: "We're all at home preparing for the graduation ceremony."
Hearing this topic, Bella still couldn't help laughing: "You guys have attended so many graduation ceremonies, are you really not tired of it?"
"You always have to find something for yourself to do, can you let me try it?" Alice Cullen reached out to her, as if she wanted to borrow her sword.
There is no such saying on Bella's side that if the sword is not in hand, the martial arts will fall a lot. In fact, the difference between having a sword and not having a sword is not that big.
She calmly handed the rapier to the black short-haired vampire.
Alice Cullen followed her example and made several gestures.
The movements are very stiff and the steps are chaotic. It seems that at most, he has practiced a few times in places such as university fencing clubs, and he is still far away from the real combat.
Alice Cullen shook her head afterwards: "I really haven't practiced this thing, you actually play such a classical thing? I guess only Carlisle in our family knows some moves, after all, he is almost 400 years old... Are you interested in visiting our house?"
Bella hesitated for the invitation of the female vampire, but the other party was not in a hurry and seemed to be waiting for her to answer.
"I killed three vampires when I left Foxtown, do you know that?" she asked.
Alice Cullen shook her head gently: "Is it those bloodthirsty guys? It has nothing to do with our family, we never hurt anyone."
Thinking that the Karen family did not have any bad deeds in this regard, and they were considered very Buddhist vampires, Bella immediately nodded and agreed. After learning swordsmanship, he found that he was helpless without an opponent. Carlisle Cullen lived in a period when fencing was popular. He was born in a noble family, so he should have good swordsmanship.
"Okay, I believe you, how do you get home?"
Ten minutes later, Bella came to the Cullen family's villa as a guest.
The Karen family extended a warm welcome to her visit.
Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen were considered celebrities in the town. Carlisle also worked part-time as a doctor in the town and had a little friendship with Charlie.
The rest of the Bellas have been seen at school, including the thin, sad-eyed Edward Cullen, the large Emmett Cullen, and Alice Cullen, who invited her, and Jia Spa Hale and Ashley Hale, there are seven vampires in the Cullen family.
