Chapter 3274 The Snake of Steel(1/2)
Chapter 3271 The Snake of Steel
"Three portions are enough, I haven't even heard of similar precious materials in other places."
The shops of Fatu people were officially opened to Xia De. Xia De was very curious about what the tribe at the foot of the snow-capped mountain could have.
"In addition, this is a magic trick chosen for you. Although you claim to be hired by Claire, we will not refuse to pay the reward you deserve. This is the reward for the treatment of Harald."
Elder Ursha of the eleventh ring slides out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve and hand it to Xia De. Xia De thanks softly and then expands it directly to check it out. Here is a standard high-ring magic, but it is not related to "ice and snow", but it is related to "sword"-
[Magic Art: Steel Snake. A sword-like weapon is temporarily converted into a long whip in the long snake state, extending the length of the weapon, and making it have the energy attack attributes of the original characteristics of the weapon when it loses its sharpness. It can take effect on ordinary weapons, spiritual weapons, alchemy weapons and relics weapons, but different spirits are required to achieve form transformation.]
This magic requires spirit runes such as [weapons], [snakes], [soft] to be used. Although Xia De does not have it, he can learn it by treating it as a spell, but this will reduce its power.
But I have to admit that this is indeed a magical technique/spellence that is quite suitable for Xia De. The "Moonlight Sword" can be thrown out like a long whip, and even the [Night Watcher] can throw out a white long whip. Perhaps Elder Harald used sword weapons when he saw Xia De fighting against the magic sword, so he suggested giving him this kind of power. This magical technique is very valuable:
"I'm very satisfied, thank you very much."
Xia De said with a smile and thanked him. After putting away the scroll, he asked curiously:
"Speaking of this, you mentioned just now that there were folk scholars from other places who investigated the secrets of snow-capped mountains. When did that happen? How did he do later? I want to learn more about snow-capped mountains, islands and the Flying Star Bay through folk scholars."
So Elder Harald's expression immediately became ugly, and he hummed, turned around to look at the bonfire with his pipe in his mouth, not allowing Xia De to see his expression at all.
The other old men seemed to want to laugh, and in the end, the youngest elder Ule coughed gently:
"The folk scholar from Virondale fell on a cliff and broke his leg while he was rescued by a local girl. They fell in love and got married, and yes, the folk scholar finally settled in the town.
He still lives on the island of Fatummonster. Although I don't know what he is doing now, I know what his daughter was doing with the local girl."
"Well, this is a strange statement."
"No wonder, that girl is standing next to you."
The old man laughed and pointed to Xia De. Xia De then looked at Miss Reinhardt sitting on the round stool afterwards. She smiled happily and was satisfied with hearing about her parents' romantic love story again:
"Although the academic survey my father came here for no results, he said that meeting his mother was the most important thing that fate arranged for him to come here - Mr. Watson, do you want to meet my father?"
(Xiao Mia is running)
"So how did you answer at that time?"
Half an hour later, at 8:30 in the evening, Galina, who was sitting on the sofa wearing a nightgown and holding red wine, asked curiously to Shade. Tobeske was drifting outside the window, and the weather in the city became much more normal after the end of the year.
The home was warm and peaceful at night. Miya lay on the windowsill and half-squinted her eyes. The maids and ladies were busy in the kitchen. Tifa cooked the yellow snake that had just taken a bite of Xia De's finger to facilitate Xia De's ability to eat it tomorrow morning - this is the material needed to learn a brand new spell. Although it was asked to eat the snake that bit her finger, Xia De was very glad that Fatu people noted that they could not eat it raw.
He had personally sent the soul of the unlucky little snake to death, but in short, after a busy day, everyone would like such a home.
"Can I ask a question before Shade answers the question?"
Megan, who was sitting on the short sofa on one side, said that Audrey did not show up. The wise witch who came here to spend the night today also wore a nightgown that highlighted her figure, and the pearl necklace on her neck was not as fair as her skin. It was a low-xiong dress, which was very suitable for her temperament.
Megan also held a red wine glass in her hand and frowned slightly at the Duke:
"Galina, why are you always here? When I was chatting with Sylvia in the parliament before I came, she said that you were here in Shade every night this week."
The beautifully smiling red-haired duke tilted his head slightly:
"It's not every day. Once this week, I just left after dinner. But aren't you busy with the Speaker's last shelter of that unknown relic? Why did you take time to come here?"
"Of course it's to visit Xia De and prevent him from being tortured by you."
"Oh? Because you are afraid that I will do this, you will come too, right?"
"What are you two talking about?"
Xia De, who walked out of the bathroom, asked. When he sat next to Galina, the witch smiled and squinted his eyes, hugged his neck enthusiastically and kissed him on the side:
"Of course I'm kidding, my dearest Rejade's Hamilton Knight, we all know how strong you are, so how did you answer Claire? Before that, none of us knew her family situation. Her parents and grandfather were in that town?
I said why she never talked about her origins, and it is necessary to protect her privacy in front of a lunatic like Audrey."
Megan pretended not to hear Galina's jokes, and she was also curious about this issue. Xia De recalled the situation at that time:
"I said I would visit her father on Sunday morning, Professor Reinhardt. Although he had settled on the island, he had not stopped academic activities over the years."
"Sunday? But today is Thursday. Why are you going the day after tomorrow? Do you want Claire to prepare in advance?"
Megan asked, Shade shook his head:
"I just went to visit and didn't need to prepare in advance. After dinner at home this evening, Galina, you know I've sent a letter to the college library. Tomorrow I'm going to St. Byrrens to discuss the topic of relic fusion with Denist, and then see if she has investigated the matter of [Corpse Tree].
Of course, there should be information about Fatummonster Island in the academy. Finally, I want to visit Emilia again. I heard that the negotiations between the elves clans had ended before the end of the year and I would like to crown Emilia after the New Year. I also want to participate in this matter.
The day after tomorrow it is Saturday, and the group will have a meeting in the afternoon, so I won’t go to Xueshan anymore and have a good rest at home, so I will visit the professor again on Sunday.”
He sighed. Although he would not go to the snow mountain tomorrow, there was still a lot to do.
"So you won't be able to relax until evening tomorrow?"
Megan said with great concern, moving from the short sofa to the other side of Xia De with a wine glass. The perfume on her body was very refreshing.
Xia De shook his head:
"Luvia said during dinner that the space spirit runes she was preparing to obtain need to be helped by getting them. I will be busy with this matter tomorrow evening."
Luvia was also at home at this time, but she was preparing for divination in Room 1 upstairs. She planned to consume one or two of the six special coins tomorrow morning to explore the secret of the snake shed. However, due to physical reasons, she would not appear in the bedroom downstairs tonight, so if Xia De wanted to see Luvia, she would need other methods.
Megan, like Galina just now, held a wine glass and wrapped her arms around Xia De's neck, and kissed him on the side:
"You're busy again after less than a week of the end of the year. I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to listen to first?"
Beautiful golden eyes looked at Xia De with a smile.
“Good news.”
"His Speaker heard that Claire had encountered so many unlucky things recently, so he planned to send someone to the island to visit her in the near future and confirm what happened to that island. Now, without any clues, the Speaker is suspected that it is the place where the ninth chosen person appeared."
"Who will be sent?"
Jialina also said with a smile:
"In addition to Claire himself, there are twelve great witches in the parliament. Don't worry if you know eight of them. We must be the ones who visit you, but we will probably choose from Bella, Sylvia, Vanessa, and Flora."
They are all in Carsonrick, and they are convenient for traveling far away on weekdays.
"So what's the bad news?"
Xia De asked again, Meghan was about to squeeze into Xia De's arms at this time:
"The bad news is that when the witch who went to visit Claire reported the situation, our mission to contain the relics was almost over. At that time, the Speaker may go to the island to visit Claire in person, so you have to avoid it in advance."
Xia De was relieved:
"What bad news is this? When I went to find a nun a few days ago, I happened to meet Miss Isabella to visit the sacrificial ground on the mountain. As long as she didn't happen to run into it, it would be fine for her to visit Miss Reinhart."
He held Megan, who had kicked off his slippers and was curled up in his arms at this moment:
"I was just thinking, what was under that snow mountain? Isn't it the snake shed of the ancient god?"
Galina laughed, while Megan blushed and wriggled in Xia De's arms a few times. So the duchess immediately looked at her suspiciously. Galina knew Megan and Audrey's skills. In theory, as long as the two sisters had direct skin contact with Xia De, they could be regarded as being hooligan:
"What are you doing?"
The duchess asked, saying that she was about to reach out to test, but Megan immediately smiled and left Xia De's arms to prove her "innocence":
"I knew you would think so. Jialina, you have eaten so much by yourself, why do you have any objections to the sisters just smelling the smell? Xiade, don't you always be biased towards Jialina. Do she spend more nights here than Luvia?"
Judging from the situation in the past six months, this is indeed the case. After all, the witches do not feel unwell every month.
"I agree with what you say, but I absolutely do not agree with what you say I am biased."
Xia De smiled and hugged her again:
"Galina is just closer to me, so it's convenient to come to me. Megan, you and Audrey can actually come here every day, and this is your home."
Megan gently sniffed her lover's neck, then she raised her head and blinked at Xia De, opened her mouth slightly to let Xia De see the two beautiful tongues in her mouth, and then kissed Xia De enthusiastically.
“This is the real cheating.”
The duchess on the side complained in a low voice, turned around and told the maids in the kitchen who were still dealing with the snake, not to let them get close to the living room, and then reached out to Xia De's clothes.
Although the sound insulation of No. 6, St. Terrain Square was pretty good when it was originally renovated, Luvia on the third floor could still clearly hear the movement downstairs when she was only separated by one floor.
"Really, I know I can't"
The girl with purple eyes, who was preparing for divination tomorrow morning, complained in a low voice, and occasionally envy the witches, after all, they all knew that Xia De tasted really delicious.
So in order to concentrate, she quickly cast spells to block the sound from her feet. But even so, she still unconsciously imagined what was happening downstairs when she worked, so she felt a little bad:
"Really, I'll live home in the future. Did Galina and Megan do it on purpose?"
She didn't blame Xia De. She knew very well how proactive the witches were. Sometimes she even felt guilty about letting Xia De go to work during the day and asking him to "work" at night to contact the witches:
"They don't know how to understand Xia De's hard work."
Because it was difficult to concentrate, she didn't prepare to go to rest until around 10 o'clock that night. Before going to bed, she saw that the lights of Room 1 on the second floor were turned off, but there were still maids guarding the kitchen and fireplace, and the kitchen seemed to be stewing something.
Tifa had not yet rested at this time. Seeing Luvia coming down from the upper floor, the maids greeted her together. Luvia smiled and stopped them, and then whispered to the black-haired maid:
"Where are their people?"
The beautiful maid smiled with her lips pursed and pointed to the direction of the bedroom. Luvia also glanced at the closed door and tried not to imagine what was happening inside, but in fact she was very envious.
She slept directly on the third floor tonight. After drinking tea, she read the book for a while, then turned off the lights and closed her eyes. But it seemed that the next second after the lights were turned off, she felt someone appear by the bed. She frowned and opened her eyes and found that it was Xia De.
