Chapter 1299

~10 min read 1,904 words

Elf's Purified Water is a brand-new alchemy material created by the elves of the Sixth Era. This liquid can act as an extremely excellent "stabilizer" during the alchemy process. And in the process of configuring magic potions, it can also neutralize some herbal materials with too strong medicinal properties. It is said that the invention of this material is one of the results of researching the Philosopher's Stone, and the Philosopher's Stone is currently known as the most excellent magic potion enhancer.

Because the annual finished product quantity of "Elf's Purified Water" is not large, it is monopolized and sold by St. Byrons, which possesses the largest elf population in the material world. Basically, it only circulates among the three major academies, and even the church can only get goods through special channels.

"I can get Elf's Purified Water. The amount used in the formula is not much, and there's no need to trouble Miss Dannister. I happen to have recently met a classmate from St. Byrons, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask her for help."

Xia De said.

"A female classmate?"

Dorothy asked casually. Xia De nodded and told the story of the unicorn in the forest. By the time the story was finished, Dorothy's focus had long since shifted from the elf girl at St. Byrons to Luvia.

Beautiful green eyes looked at Xia De:

"You mean, you saw a young unicorn, and you even got her a hairband made of pure unicorn hair?!"

Xia De nodded hesitantly:

"She also said she would come to show off to you after she gets back... you must not say that I told you in advance."

The writer girl pursed her lips and did not comment on this. Seeing that Xia De didn't speak again, but was trying hard to restrain Mia from jumping onto her bed, she said again:

"I thought you would immediately express that you want to get another hairband for me and Luvia."

"If I really thought you and Luvia were the kind of people who would be jealous because of this, then my IQ would be about the same as little Mia's."

"Meow?"

The cat, whose paws were being held by Xia De, looked back at him.

Xia De said very seriously:

"You and Luvia are not the kind of girls who would be jealous of others casually. Besides, I will definitely have opportunities in the future to give you gifts separately without giving them to her. We are all one family; I am very clear about this kind of thing."

"One family..."

Because she hadn't gone out yet, there was no lipstick on her lips, but the corners of her mouth, where the lip lines were still obvious, curled up:

"I indeed am not jealous that you gave Luvia a gift; that is what she deserves. But to say I'm not jealous that she got a unicorn hair hairband, that's impossible... really lucky."

"Actually, I have special channels to get some more unicorn hair. The amount needed to tie a hairband might be hard to get, but if it's just a small amount, it shouldn't be a problem."

"This is what you said; when you give it to me and Luvia then, don't say it was me who asked for it proactively."

A brilliant smile appeared on the writer girl's face. Just as Luvia said, no girl could refuse the charm of a unicorn.

Since Xia De already knew about "Elf's Purified Water," the only precious alchemy material missing was "Twilight Dust."

"This kind of paint actually belongs to mineral paint; the minerals in the material list are the main sources of color. As for Twilight Dust, it is the key binder, allowing the colors to 'bind' in the night. This material usually needs to be prepared by special means using dust from one foot below the surface soil in areas where rare polar night phenomena occur."

"The City of Eternal Night" is the place where polar night phenomena occur.

"If the materials are complete, how long does it take to make the paint?"

Xia De thought that if there was enough time, he could take these materials to Fiona for alchemy, but he had to learn alchemy skills this week; his alchemy skills were currently only at the level of a third or fourth-year student.

"Quite long; the grinding and heating process of the minerals is very complicated."

Dorothy said.

"Then besides the environment you mentioned, are there any other channels to obtain this dust?"

The writer girl thought carefully:

"Let Luvia answer."

After saying this, without giving Xia De time to react, she leaned against the desk beside her and closed her eyes directly. After waiting a moment, she opened her eyes, and it was already Luvia:

"Good morning, Xia De."

The two's exchange could share the memories of the few seconds before the exchange, and even share the feelings of the few seconds before the exchange on the special "Day of the Red Butterfly." So, Luvia also knew why Xia De came to see Dorothy so early:

"Twilight Dust is not an alchemy material that is often used, but you should be able to find it."

As she spoke, she sat directly on Dorothy's bed. The blonde girl narrowed her eyes slightly, brought her nose close to Xia De, and sniffed gently, with a look of satisfaction:

"Besides the special scenes of eternal night, the dust from temples that once sacrificed to the Old God 'Curtain of Eternal Night' can also work."

She had heard Dorothy talk about Xia De's recent affairs, so she knew where Xia De had been:

"Although the book didn't say it, since the temple of that Night God can work, the Night Spirit Temple you visited should also work. At the Night Spirit Temple, take dust from one foot underground, dissolve it with clear river water, and then form a wet sol by stirring. Let it stand at room temperature for three hours, and according to the method of configuring 'Prayer Ointment,' configure it into an ointment shape, and then store it at a low temperature. The whole process needs to be completed in a light-proof environment."

She said softly, her nose even touching Xia De's cheek.

Those green eyes were right in front of him, her expression bold but a bit shy.

Xia De tried to kiss her, but the girl's finger stood up again, placed in front of Xia De's mouth, and a shy smile appeared on her illuminated side face. This appearance made Xia De's heart beat faster again, but Luvia closed her eyes immediately, and when the green eyes opened, Dorothy was back.

"You guys shouldn't exchange so frequently."

Xia De said immediately. Dorothy, with a rosy face, said with a smile:

"With the Red Butterfly ornament, exchanging like this occasionally is nothing. Luvia is having breakfast with Queen Diana, and I'm not very clear about what was discussed at the beginning, so I must change back as soon as possible, otherwise I will be suspected."

She tapped Xia De's lips with her finger:

"Let's not... early in the morning. I'll go to your house tonight."

She kissed Xia De on the side of his face:

"Luvia will be back soon too. We must cherish this last period of time when she won't appear at your house."

After sending Dorothy, who planned to visit Miss Galina, onto the carriage, Xia De returned home and went to Randall Valley again. Little Mia was taken care of by Dorothy; after all, she still had to go to St. Deran Square tonight.

On Sunday night, in the "Past · Sixth Era" that Xia De watched at the Night Spirit Temple, the conversation between Miss Lassus and the long-haired Luvia contained a lot of content. Among them, the topic about the Chosen One, although it involved key content like "Luvia kills Miss Lassus," which made Xia De more confirmed about the identity of the Earth Chosen One, but because he couldn't let the current Luvia know about the past, Xia De couldn't communicate this point with Luvia.

That piece of land had many meanings: gold mines, "Butterfly Tomb," entrance to the "Space Labyrinth," unknown doors, and of course, another important thing, which was the land where the Night Spirit Temple was located, carrying the memories of a special time key. If Xia De wanted to get that withered black time key, he had to extract that memory, and only Miss Lassus could do that.

After all, in a sense, the formation of that memory also had something to do with her death and corpse.

After carrying Priest Augustus's suitcase to Randall Valley, Xia De first went to the Wilde Opera House. Even though the effect of the 【Rain-Praying Golem】 from last week had long since ended, this river valley city in the south was still having a heavy snowfall today.

When he jumped off the carriage in the snow, the servants hired by the opera house were sweeping the snow on the steps and laying down non-slip carpets. Everyone knew Xia De. When Xia De walked into the opera house, a maid soon handed him a towel and led him to the study on the third floor, where he saw Miss Bernice and Miss Lassus talking while holding cups in front of the fireplace.

"

Good morning, oh, how is your injury?"

The witch hadn't forgotten the palm Xia De was hit with last night.

"It's fine now, only the mark is still there."

Xia De said, sighed about the terrible weather today, and then sat down on the sofa in front of the fireplace:

"Miss Lassus, do you have time recently to go out of the city with me? Go to the Night Spirit Temple that Miss Bernice and I went to yesterday. I want you to help me extract the memories of that piece of land."

Many of the sublimation words of unknown origin of the 【Forgotten Sect】 were obtained by this means.

Miss Lassus glanced at Miss Bernice:

"No problem. But not every piece of land can extract the memories of the earth; I have to go to the scene to investigate. And the ritual needs preparation time, it can't be done immediately."

"No problem, today is definitely not possible, then can we set off tomorrow? That is Tuesday, or, other times this week?"

Xia De asked. Miss Lassus shook her head:

"I'm really sorry, Xia De, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow won't work. Vanessa and I found news that my father once built an underground secret room in the public cemetery, and there are other things... is Thursday okay? Vanessa told me about your encounter; it sounds really interesting. Although I was born and raised in Randall Valley, I have never been there."

"Do you need me to go with you?"

The witch on the side asked lightly, as if mentioning it casually:

"If you don't need me, I can just happen to be in the opera house, watching the girls rehearse the new repertoire."

Miss Lassus immediately looked at Xia De and blinked. Xia De certainly understood:

"Of course I need you. After all, the two of us, Miss Lassus and I, added together, are only one level higher than you. Then set off on Thursday, and visit the Night Spirit Temple again."

Xia De said, and the blonde witch nodded with satisfaction.
