Chapter 1116: Potions in the Room

"Xia De, how does your body feel now?"

Tifa asked suddenly.

"After lunch, it feels okay, but I still need to rest for a while. Forcing the use of Ascended Words was, after all, too much of a stretch."

"Since you have already had lunch, please drink today's potion; this is the last bottle. Please come with me to get it; I hope you like the taste of the potion."

The maid said, so after the carriage turned and disappeared outside the manor gate, the two returned to the interior of the building.

On snowy days, the maids in the manor were also very leisurely, but Tifa did not let any maid follow the two, but alone brought Xia De to the third floor, to the master bedroom of this building, which was the double-door golden gate of Miss Jia Lin Na's bedroom.

"That bottle of potion is very precious, so the Young Lady put it in the bedroom. Please come in with me; the Young Lady won't mind you entering her bedroom."

Before Xia De could ask, Tifa explained, then pushed the door open to signal Xia De to come in.

This was not the first time Xia De had entered Miss Jia Lin Na's bedroom. During the "Darkness Descends" incident, the "Darkness Domain" covered this manor, and Tifa led the maids of the manor to take refuge in the master bedroom. Xia De, who came to the manor at that time, had entered here.

And this time entering, the Duchess's bedroom was still filled with a very rich scent of incense. The large room was quite tasteful; the Duchess of Saladir had high requirements for her standard of living.

Red wool carpets covered the floor, and the surprisingly large bed was placed on a floor one step higher than the room floor. There were even small doors around leading to an independent study, washroom, and cloakroom, but according to Miss Jia Lin Na, the area of this bedroom was much smaller than her bedroom in Saladir County.

Miss Jia Lin Na, who should have been "sick and resting in bed," was of course not here, but the maids still cleaned on time every day and sent breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea. The pink curtains around the bed were hung high, revealing the bed without a single wrinkle. The quilt was folded neatly and placed at the head of the bed, and the bright red bed sheet was bathed in the noon sun.

After Xia De walked in, he looked at the room with great interest, while Tifa fell a step behind, and then gently closed the door.

"Where is the potion? If it's too precious, actually, you don't have to give it to me; I feel much better now."

Xia De turned and asked.

"It's here."

Tifa bent down and picked up Little Mia on the carpet, and opened the door of the cloakroom in the latter's curious eyes. Xia De originally thought there was a safe or a potion workshop hidden by the witch in the cloakroom, but the maid just put the cat in and closed the door.

"The potion is in..."

Xia De already felt that something was wrong.

Tifa shook her head:

"Please don't be in a hurry."

She walked to the window and then carefully drew the curtains. Then she went to the wall and dimmed the brightness of the gas lamp.

Finally, she walked to the end of the bed, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and sat on the edge of the bed, which was laid very flat, with her feet in small black leather shoes pointing on the ground.

She bit her lip and looked at Xia De:

"The potion is right here."

Xia De was stunned for a full three seconds before he understood:

"But... this is Miss Jia Lin Na's bedroom."

The sound of "her" laughter came to his ears, obviously mocking Xia De for actually asking this.

On the fair face, red lips curved into a smile, and the maid nodded slightly:

"Yes, but now, the Young Lady is not here. Isn't this... very exciting?"

She raised her hand and unbuttoned the first button in the white lace decoration on her chest:

"So, Knight, do you want to drink this... potion?"

Raising her head slightly, her face was slightly red, and her tone was trembling. Xia De stood still, so Tifa stood up dissatisfied and pulled him.

The light of the gas lamp was dim and yellow, and the shadows of the two fell on the wall. That light illuminated the brass-colored mechanical bird used for decoration on the bookshelf, illuminated the vertical lotus-shaped table lamp by the bed, illuminated the expensive silk edges on the curtains, and illuminated the antique oil painting on the wall.

Tifa gently hugged Xia De's head and held him in her arms. After rolling over, she pressed him onto the bed. She bit her lip and blushed, controlling her breathing, and her peripheral vision caught the half-length oil painting of Miss Jia Lin Na on the bedroom wall:

"Xia De, thank you for everything you have done for us, but you must also pay attention to safety in the future... Half an hour after meals is the time to drink, drink the potion."

The fair face was already stained with rose color:

"Please pay attention to the time, otherwise the other maids will be suspicious."

In the oil painting, the Duchess sat elegantly on a chair with her hands together, looking outside the painting with a faint smile. And at this moment, the maid, who was snorting in her nose, looked at the eyes of the Duchess in the oil painting, and the two looked at each other.

The owner of the manor, the owner of the room, the owner of this soft bed, Duchess Jia Lin Na Cavendish, was in Huntington City.

(Little Mia is running...)

The advantage of Miss Jia Lin Na's manor was not just that it was large. All the household facilities that Xia De could imagine that might appear in this era could mostly be found in the manor.

For example, the hot spring bath located on the first floor of the manor, which could only be entered from the third floor. That bath might be a bit small to be used as a swimming pool, but it was only a little smaller than the swimming pool imagined by the Outsider.

After two days of coma in bed, soaking in the bath also felt very good, especially since it was a cold winter now. Out of politeness and hygiene considerations, before dinner that evening, Xia De did not bring Little Mia into the bath, and the cat of course refused to approach such a wet place.

Tifa arranged for the manor maids to serve Xia De in bathing, but Xia De refused.

The black-haired maid said with some trouble:

"I still have to receive the Kingdom's Chief Justice and his entourage on behalf of the Young Lady in a while to discuss the candidates for the new Chief Justice of the Duchy, otherwise I could serve you personally."

"Oh, Tifa, stop joking with me."

Xia De said with some trouble, and then remembered what happened in Miss Jia Lin Na's bedroom a few hours ago. Tifa probably thought of it too, with her hands crossed over her chest, looking at him with a blushing face:

"How was the potion?"

"Very... very good."

【The adjective you thought of is not this one.】

Xia De turned around and hugged the prepared clothes and went to the bath, leaving only Tifa looking at his back with a smile.

Approaching the end of the year, the Divination Society also had many things to do. Luweiya could not catch up with the manor's dinner that night. She entrusted someone to send a letter telling Xia De that she would probably be late to arrive at the manor, so Tifa sent a carriage to pick her up. Xia De used this night to take a slight inventory of his gains in the Battle of Pantanal.

The biggest gain was naturally the advancement from the Fourth Ring to the Fifth Ring, and the attempt to use Ascended Words.

The echo of space and time resonated with the witch echo in Xia De's soul, thereby truly crossing space and time and summoning five demigod witches.

Although he felt incredibly regretful that he could not talk to those ladies, Xia De could still feel the kisses they gave when they parted.

"The Tree Father said that I cannot easily use Ascended Words to prevent disturbing space and time. And using Ascended Words like Thursday dawn requires an ancient ritual base as an auxiliary..."

Xia De thought to himself, in this way, the significance of the "Witch Echo" to him was not just the knowledge of the witches and the voting rights of the council. It also represented the number of witches he could summon in the future; "Witch Echo" and "Demigod Witch" were the requirements for crossing space and time.

Besides his own level and Ascended Words, the 【Akenola - Arrow of the Chosen One】, which Xia De could not use for the time being, had become the most important relic in his hand.

Of course, except for Xia De himself, others could use this arrow with Xia De's assistance, and the power of the arrow had been enhanced. Xia De did not quite understand the specific relic grading process of the Church, but now this arrow was called an "Unknowable-level Relic," which probably couldn't be said to be too exaggerated. It was just that given the power of the two relics 【Desire】 and 【Death Gap】 that Xia De had fully witnessed, it was probably more reasonable to consider the 【Akenola - Arrow of the Chosen One】 as an Angel-level (Level 1) relic.

Since Luweiya had refused to become the Chosen One of "Knowledge and Wisdom," Xia De planned to wait until Yi Lu Na returned before discussing the destination of the Chosen One qualification together.

But in fact, he already had an idea in his heart. Instead of giving it to someone now, it would be better to wait until all twelve Chosen Ones appeared before choosing a suitable target. Although this meant that Xia De could no longer use the power of this arrow, the ability to grant power to Ringed Shushi was still very useful.

Besides the brand-new arrow, another gain worth mentioning was the brand-new parchment scroll that appeared after destroying the "Secret Art of Immortality." It was the true "Secret Art of Immortality" co-authored by Miss Wei Er Li Te, a demigod witch at the end of the Fifth Era, and Miss Te Lei Sha.

This book no longer discussed the secret of immortality like the original "Secret Art of Immortality," but was a complete collection of spells and curses centered on "immortality," very similar to the "Pink Book" given to Xia De by Desire.

However, after Tifa's confirmation, only Xia De could see the content on the parchment, while others could only see a blank space.

And compared to the "Book of Pink" which Xia De always suspected had some traps, he was completely at ease with the "Secret Art of Immortality." It is a pity that most of the miracles and curses inside are of no great use to him; only in the chapters involving "healing" are those healing miracles and curses very useful.

But he believed that the girls around him would probably like this book very much. Although the "Secret Art of Immortality" was written in the language of the Fifth Era and contained many occult terms that would only be used in that era, Xia De could translate them into the terms of this era with the help of the "Witch Echo."

"Miss Wei Er Li Te, Miss Te Lei Sha, we will definitely meet again."

Looking at that thick roll of parchment, Xia De could almost imagine the perfume smell on the Witch Emperor and the young witch wearing glasses. ===== CHAPTER 1117 =====
