Chapter 1487: Seriously Ill

Xia De was sick.

This illness was not without warning. After sending Doctor Shi Nai De to the Randall Valley train station on Wednesday and returning home, Xia De felt that his body was a bit wrong. The initial symptoms were a slight sense of weakness and a slight dizziness in his head, but he only thought that he had been overworked recently and suddenly relaxed, and his body was not yet accustomed to it.

Therefore, he was busy writing the report on "Miss Fiona Delage and the Academy's Establishment" to Miss Dannister. That night, he also spent a quite good night with Luweiya, who had not stayed overnight at No. 6 St. Deran Square for a long time.

Just as Miss Jia Lin Na said, the purple-eyed girl knew about the things between them in advance. Therefore, when the two snuggled together at midnight, Xia De expressed his apologies and plans for the future, Luweiya was not angry, but pointed her finger at his lips:

"We agreed at the beginning, wandering knight, if it is for our cause, I will not dissent from your approach."

At this time, Xia De already felt that the dizziness in his head was intensifying, but the gentle girl in his arms made him unable to think more.

"You are very reserved about love and did not wantonly use my trust in you. Your eye for choosing targets is quite good. Even I have to admit that Jia Lin Na Cavendish is really beautiful. I talked to her, and she will fully help us. The power of the Witch Council will eventually fall into our hands."

She kissed Xia De's side face gently, and a reserved and charming expression appeared on her face at the same time:

"On such a night, don't talk about boring things. Please tell me, knight, what is the taste of a witch... like?"

Even though Xia De did not say his own wrongness, after being woken up on time by Miya's meow-meow on Thursday morning, Luweiya still found that his voice was a bit hoarse, and he even coughed a few times when getting up.

It is extremely rare for a Ringed Shushi to be sick, not to mention a Ringed Shushi with such strong physical fitness as Xia De.

Although Xia De still thought that this might be related to him being too tired these past few days, Luweiya immediately blushed and loudly claimed that this absolutely had nothing to do with her.

She was quite worried about this and sent a letter to the Jia Lin Na Manor, hoping that a maid could take care of Xia De personally these few days.

Xia De stayed at home all day Thursday because of his physical discomfort. On that night, Xia De, who had body aches all over, even gave up the original plan to write a report after dinner and went back to his room to rest. Half an hour later, when the three young maids attracted by Miya's call touched his forehead, they found that his body temperature had risen to a very dangerous temperature.

The anxious Luweiya, Miss Jia Lin Na, and Dorothy soon gathered at No. 6 St. Deran Square that night. After confirming that Xia De had an inexplicable high fever, they used the means of a Ringed Shushi to confirm that this was absolutely not a normal illness.

Mystical means, including the 【Plague Doctor Ring】, could not affect his state. Only by the most primitive physical cooling method could his body temperature be barely lowered, but the persistent high fever showed no signs of subsiding.

Xia De, who was tortured by illness, did not completely lose consciousness. He knew the arrival of the ladies, knew Miya was lying on the side of his head worriedly, but he could only groan and feel uncomfortable all over, struggling constantly in a semi-dream and semi-awake state.

For a long time to come, he was in this subtle state of semi-dream and semi-awake. The high fever caused severe headaches and trouble distinguishing between dreams and reality. The rhythm of the skin drum beating heard in the Wang Erde Opera House during the coma kept playing, making the headache and nausea more intense.

For a while, he even dreamed that he was stabbed to death by Luweiya with a sharp knife, so that when he was woken up by Luweiya to take medicine in reality, he was once terrified and unable to move.

Closing his eyes was darkness, and opening his eyes was the monotonous scenery of the bedroom. He knew he had been at home, knew Miya rarely left him, knew the maid ladies had been taking care of him, knew many people had come to visit him, and knew he had been fed a lot of strange medicinal water, but he himself could not think coherently.

Severe headaches, nausea, and the body's instinctive drowsiness made him lose his sensitivity to time for nearly two weeks from Thursday, the 13th of the Month of Rising Wind, to Saturday, the 22nd of the Month of Rising Wind.

He lay in bed every day, and someone would send three meals on time. Occasionally waking up, he could see Miya looking at the flowers newly raised by Luweiya on the windowsill, and the flowers in those pots also bloomed with increasingly conspicuous petals as he opened his eyes again and again.

After all, spring really came.

The clothes on the girls seemed to have transitioned from winter to spring within this week or so. The maid ladies who took care of him at home every day also told about the increasingly spring scenery of Tobesk outside the window.

In a daze, he knew that Luweiya would live here most nights, and when he woke up with a headache late at night, she would hold him in bed and tell him various stories;

Miss Jia Lin Na would arrange maids at home every morning and leave Tifa at No. 6 St. Deran Square to take care of his daily life, and when the Duchess left, Xia De could always get a wet kiss on his forehead;

Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya, who brought Ajielina, came to visit him every other day. The sad girls often sat by the bed holding his hand, telling various love words.

It seemed that with Xia De's serious illness, his home became more lively than usual.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, Sister Daifulin, Helen and Grace, Priest Ao Gu Si, and Doctor Shi Nai De, who returned to Tobesk a little later, all came here to visit him. Ordinary friends Baron Lavender, Baron Lu Anda, Director Anluosi, neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Smith, etc., also expressed their worries.

I don't know when, the various gifts piled up at the foot of the bed and in the kitchen, including but not limited to carnations, chocolates, greeting cards, fruits, and handicrafts, were piled into a small mountain. Every day when Xia De woke up, he could hear who had come to visit him in his headache. Even Queen Diana sent a doctor to check his condition and sent a brand-new set of tea sets as a gift.

The four great witches from afar, including Grandma Cassandra, also appeared in Xia De's home together in a worried manner through projection on a night Xia De could not remember. The projection ritual they used was clearly very high-level. After checking his condition in the bedroom, they discussed Xia De's strange illness together.

Although the high fever continued to persist, the good news was that apart from high fever, pain, vomiting, and severe nasal congestion, Xia De had no other conditions, and this symptom would not be transmitted to anyone. This was not a simple illness, not a curse, and there were no traces of relic influence. This seemed to be a natural reaction of Xia De's body, so on the second day of Xia De's high fever, the witches fully confirmed that this was directly related to the "Source of Earth Distortion" that was swallowed.

The worried Luweiya, on the one hand, let Yin Yi Yi Lu Na go to the Randall Valley through Xia De's basement to discuss the situation with the "Guardian of the Earth", and on the other hand, did not hesitate to use one of the three "Demon Gold Coins" for divination.

Combining the divination results with the suggestions given by the Chosen One of the Earth from afar, the ladies who were worried about Xia De's physical condition knew that Xia De only needed to rest in bed, and he would naturally recover over time.

Thus, the dazed traveler received the best care he could never have imagined. During this period, Miss Jia Lin Na even thought about transferring Xia De to her manor, but was rejected by Luweiya and Dorothy together:

"Xia De can only recover at his own home. This is the result of divination. And, if he is not at home, he will feel uncomfortable!"

No one could refute this reason.

He was indeed recovering day by day. In the first few days of this illness, the total time Xia De was awake did not exceed six hours, and the food he ate every day was also very little. But starting from the fourth day, although the high fever still persisted, his drowsiness was significantly alleviated, and he could even listen to the maid ladies read newspapers in bed and have short conversations with visiting guests.

When time came to the seventh day of his illness, although his throat was hoarse and he could not speak, Xia De could try to drag his weak body out of bed to wash his face and brush his teeth by himself. But as soon as he left the bedroom, he was gently carried back by the maids, and afterwards, he was lectured by Luweiya, Dorothy, Miss Jia Lin Na, and Princess Lei Qianya in turn:

"The maids help you wash your face and brush your teeth, isn't it different from you doing it yourself? Oh, Xia De, you are like this, can't you enjoy life?"

Xia De himself knew what was wrong with him. After all, after swallowing those distorted earth powers, "She" also said that the side effects would appear later. And the persistent high fever was indeed not a very dangerous thing, just as "She" said.

Although Xia De's body could recover naturally, the girls still prepared various strange "tonics" for Xia De, trying to speed up his recovery. But those strange magic potions and tonics whose names Xia De had never heard of were mostly strange in taste and had no effect.

Of course, not all methods had no effect. The magic potions sent by Sister Daifulin and the Red Butterfly Twins were effective.

The nun's magic potion was a potion that could repair the soul, made in the sacrificial field using the secret method of the 【Lingxiu Sect】 after she took some "Moonlight Water" from the attic. And what Helen and Grace sent was a strange red potion.

The potion was contained in a test tube the size of a thumb, and the liquid in the test tube was crystal clear and transparent. Although there was a feeling of "blood brew" in the taste, more of it was the sweet and sour feeling like green apples.

Xia De originally thought he would have to recover by the end of the Month of Rising Wind, but with the help of the nun and the Red Butterfly girls, he felt that he was not far from recovery. ===== CHAPTER 1488 =====
