Chapter 1489: Special Physical Mechanism

Dorothy said, pointing to the direction of the living room:

"I helped you frame the honorary degree certificate and hung it in the most conspicuous place together with your knight sword. In this way, your client will see it as soon as they enter the door."

The witch sitting opposite Xia De also teased and said:

"If you are interested, you can flip through yesterday's newspaper. It published a group photo of you and others when Dorothy helped you receive the certificate. Now the whole city is spreading rumors about the relationship between you and her, and there is no lack of gossip."

"In fact, there have always been rumors of scandals between writers and knights in the city, but they are not as concerned as other scandals."

Luweiya, who was sitting beside Xia De, also said. Xia De gave a few dry laughs, and then frowned and recalled:

"I remember it was Tuesday or Wednesday this week, did the members of the Degree Committee come to visit my house? Among them, Mr. Xifu Randor, the secretary from the University Association, even knew me."

That was a member of the Light-Guiding Cult.

"That was Monday's thing. At that time, Tifa received them."

Miss Jia Lin Na said, and then shook her head slightly:

"It seems that you are really seriously ill, otherwise with your perception of time, you shouldn't even get this wrong."

"But at least it's fine now."

Xia De emphasized again, and then touched Little Mia who was lowering her head to eat.

"It's fine now. The background investigation team for correspondence students of St. Byron's has arrived in this city. Priest Ao Gu Si and the Doctor will come to your place this afternoon to mention this matter. If the investigation team meets you when you are still sick, you will definitely be suspected."

Luweiya said again. She put down the glass of milk and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"However, with the relationship of Miss Dannister, you will definitely be fine even if you are investigated. Who would suspect the candidate for the next librarian? Especially, this candidate is the only candidate."

"Xia De and the witches can mostly maintain a good relationship. I remember that Miss Pawo, the vice president of the Truth Society, also seems to appreciate him very much."

Miss Jia Lin Na said again. Xia De, who was dealing with the meat on the plate with a fork and table knife, shook his head hurriedly:

"This is a bit too exaggerated. I don't know her at all. What she appreciates is probably the God-Caller."

Dorothy heard "God-Caller" and was indifferent—in order to explain Xia De's serious illness, during the time Xia De was groaning in pain, he told Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya what he had done. Of course, the two girls had guessed it long ago, otherwise it would be impossible to be so coincidental that wherever Xia De went, something would happen.

And talking about the topic of witches, the traveler who walked out of the serious illness also suddenly realized that the scene now seemed a bit wrong.

Of course, it was not that he thought the warm morning dining table at this moment was fake, but he was surprised to think that Miss Jia Lin Na was talking and laughing with Luweiya and Dorothy at this moment.

Xia De still remembered that he had admitted his mistake to Luweiya before he got sick, and then confessed what he had done, but he didn't think their relationship would suddenly become so good.

The purple-eyed girl seemed to see Xia De's thoughts from his pause:

"Is there anything wrong with our good relationship? Or do you want to watch us bleed into a river, and finally one person takes advantage of your serious illness to cut off your head and leave this sad place by boat?"

She said as if she didn't care at all. Miss Jia Lin Na looked at the two with a smile, and Dorothy raised an eyebrow:

"If you weren't sick, our relationship probably wouldn't be so good. But you were sick to that extent, how could we still be angry with each other? Oh, Xia De, do you really not understand the girls' intentions? However, someone is indeed angry, that is your princess."

"Princess Lei Qianya? What's wrong with Princess Lei Qianya?"

Xia De asked cautiously, suspecting that this was related to the long-standing incompatibility between Princess Lei Qianya and Miss Jia Lin Na. The writer lady tried hard to hold back her laughter:

"Xia De, what were you doing before you got sick? I mean before the symptoms appeared, not when you were completely sick."

Xia De recalled that the symptoms of his illness appeared on Wednesday last week, after saying goodbye to Doctor Shi Nai De in the Randall Valley:

"That was Wednesday morning. I visited an old priest at the Dawn Church in the Randall Valley, and then sent our doctor friend to the local train station."

"This won't cause your illness, even if the train station has the flu, it's impossible to infect you."

Luweiya also showed a look of holding back laughter.

"Then what else did you do before that Wednesday morning?"

Dorothy asked again. Xia De recalled again, and then blinked at the beautiful witch opposite the table. The Tuesday before Wednesday was "the Duchess's commission", and then a hot night worth remembering.

Even the maid ladies standing aside were holding back their laughter, after all, they had heard the "quarrel" between the Duchess and the princess here. Only Miss Jia Lin Na had an unhappy expression. The mature red-haired witch brushed her hair:

"Let me say it. Before we explained the cause of your illness, little Princess Lei Qianya thought your illness was related to me. It was because I and you, well, intimacy, that led to your serious illness."

"Ah?"

"Princess Lei Qianya knows about the witch's curse, so she thinks that since Miss Jia Lin Na and your, well, intimacy, did not affect the witch herself, it is possible that your body was affected by her in turn."

Luweiya said while cutting the bacon on her plate. She really thought this was ridiculous. Of course, the facts were indeed ridiculous. And before she performed divination to be 100% sure of the cause of Xia De's illness, even Miss Jia Lin Na herself suspected that Xia De's illness was not only related to earth pollution but also related to her.

Because Luweiya could not explain that her special divination must be correct, until now, the Duchess actually still had some shallow doubts in her heart. After all, this cause could not be ruled out.

"How could it be related to that matter? Ladies, you... look down on me too much, right?"

Xia De tried to save his reputation, but this appearance made the girls sitting at the table and the girls standing by the table laugh. The atmosphere at the morning dining table was just right. No. 6 St. Deran Square had probably not had such a morning for hundreds of years.

"But speaking of which, this is not the first time Xia De has had a high fever. Some time ago in the Randall Valley, didn't he have one too?"

Luweiya mentioned this again, so Miss Jia Lin Na nodded slowly:

"But that time it only burned for one day, and then he recovered completely. If I remember correctly, Xia De's illness that time was also because he took something wrong. The witch who is good at magic potions in the council said that the pink glowing essence he drank at that time, although it still had the ability to significantly restore spirit, because the concentration was too high, it produced a poison enough to poison a whole group of dragons."

Dorothy was the only one who hadn't been to the Randall Valley. She summarized from the perspective of a bystander:

"So, Xia De's two sudden high fevers were both because of poisoning?"

"To be precise, it was poisoning that could endanger his life."

Luweiya corrected, while dealing with the food on her plate with a table knife, looking at Xia De with great interest:

"This is quite interesting. Does Xia De's body have any special mechanism? Poisoning that endangers life will not die but convert into a high fever? Wait until the toxin subsides and no longer poses a life threat to him, and the fever will subside?"

Xia De recalled his strange arts and various blessings and resident states: Desire Flesh, the darkness of the Chosen One Dac Nisi, the fire of the Phoenix, the gift of thousands of souls, the power of the Weeping Angel, the blessing of the God of Gambling, the blessing of the Wise, the blessing of Winter, and the blessing of the Earth, none of them should have this effect:

"I don't remember having this ability, but maybe I can try it."

"Absolutely not!"

The ladies at the table said in unison, and the writer lady even frowned:

"This is not a joke. Besides, can you find something more poisonous than the two 'toxins' you contacted before?"

Others had already told Dorothy what Xia De had contacted, and the writer lady was right. Although the distorted earth source had not been completely digested and absorbed by Xia De, this had already made his "anti-poison" ability much stronger. If he wanted to poison himself to a state close to "poisoning to death", he didn't know how to do it himself.

"So, can I drink desire essence with higher concentration now?"

He said in his heart, but didn't dare to say the idea, but said:

"Alright then... Dorothy, just now Luweiya said, the group is going to have a meeting at my place this afternoon?"

"Yes, you can't go out now, so everyone comes to your place."

The blonde girl said, and Luweiya on the side added:

"We know you definitely don't want to stay at home all the time, then at least you can't go out this weekend. When the weekend night comes, if your condition is better, we won't restrict you next Monday."

"That's fine."

Xia De nodded immediately. Staying at home to read books these two days and making up for the learning progress missed this week is also good:

"Speaking of which, what have you been busy with recently?"

Xia De asked them again. Luweiya shook her head very freely:

"I just came back from the Randall Valley, and the association didn't give me any work. However, I held a ritual a few days ago, and now I am at the 6th ring, the same as you."

"I am still busy with the novel. The translation of the Kaisenrike language has been completed, and I am in contact with the Southern Country Publishing House. This really takes up time."

Dorothy said. As for what Princess Lei Qianya has been doing recently, she can't say it even if she knows it now.

"I am very busy."

The witch said very lightly:

"But it's not about the Saradir County. I am helping my nephew, our king, prepare for the negotiations with Kaisenrike. You can see the newspaper, the topic of the Pantanal trade route and the border line is something everyone has been paying attention to recently."

"Has the negotiation location been determined?"

Xia De asked curiously, and then remembered that when he went to the Military Intelligence Agency to inquire about the information of the Stonemason Society, he heard that Director Anluosi had gone on a secret business trip a few days ago because of the negotiation location:

"I heard it was arranged on the border line?"

"You have been at home sick like this, can you be so well-informed?"

Miss Jia Lin Na looked at Xia De with great surprise, and then nodded gently:

"The two countries are not giving in to each other, and both want to put the negotiation location within their own borders. But it is not a way to stalemate like this. Now a preliminary agreement has been reached, and it will probably be in the newspaper next week. The negotiation location is arranged in two cities north and south of the border line."

Luweiya understood:

"Found two cities very close to each other on the border line?"

"Yes."

The witch nodded, and Dorothy thought of the specific location:

"There are many mountains in the east and west of the Old Continent, and there are few cases where two big cities are adjacent. Excluding the area occupied by the Pantanal region, I think the final location should be in the Great Plains area in the middle of the continent, right?"

"Yes, the one in Kaisenrike is Mikaela Blast Furnace City. In this city famous for glass products, the 'Glass Blast Furnace' is a steam-age wonder famous in the Old Continent. The one in Delarion is Greenke City in Leon County. This is a very ancient city. Both cities are on the border line. Because they are cities on the Great Plains, if you don't consider the security check when crossing the border line, you can travel between them in less than half an hour by carriage."

"I know Mikaela Blast Furnace City, the reputation of the City of Glass is very loud. However, Greenke City..."

Xia De asked hesitantly. He already had a deep understanding of the history and natural environment of this world, but he didn't know much about the urban division, and it was even more impossible to know the names of every city in Delarion. ===== CHAPTER 1490 =====
