Chapter 1492: Dinner Date
"There is knowledge in it that is too dangerous, and even some knowledge itself is a trap. I have marked in the notebook the knowledge you can learn, the knowledge you can use for reference, the knowledge you can only use to broaden your horizons, and the knowledge you'd better not look at. As long as you learn according to my suggestions, there should be no problem. Of course, if there is a problem, go to me in time, or use your 【Night Watchman】 to test yourself."
The Doctor said very seriously.
"Thank you very much, Doctor."
Xia De put the big demon book and the notebook on the head of the bed:
"I privately ask you, about the academy investigation, are you ready?"
Among the few, Xia De is actually most worried about Doctor Shi Nai De. After all, Priest Ao Gu Si's angel power cannot be seen at all if it is not used, Luweiya's problem cannot be detected even by the Guardian, Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya's wonderful soul connection is very hidden, only the Doctor is continuously using the power of demons, and even because of Xia De's relationship, the connection with demons is getting deeper and deeper.
"Don't worry, demons are best at disguise and fraud. Although I am not a demon, don't underestimate me. Without considering the luck problem, I have always been very reliable."
The Doctor said confidently, stood up and picked up his hat to prepare to say goodbye:
"I remember you mentioned that the librarian Miss Dannister put forward a very difficult strange art learning test for you. Don't forget this matter, the Month of Rising Wind doesn't have many days left."
"Strange Art - Moon Dream."
Xia De sighed with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes again, the Doctor's footsteps had already appeared downstairs.
After the Doctor left, the house fell into silence. Xia De flipped through the demon book for a while. Around 5:30, Miss Jia Lin Na brought the maids back from Yodel Palace and began to prepare dinner for Xia De.
Although today is Saturday, Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya have things to do and can't come. The witch who is responsible for taking care of the "seriously ill" Xia De tonight is the witch.
Before the meeting this afternoon, Xia De felt his head was still dizzy, but when the sunset arrived and everyone was sent away, the abnormal feeling of his body disappeared completely. Having not gone out for many days, he proposed to Miss Jia Lin Na that he wanted to go out for a walk and have dinner at a restaurant outside.
"This won't do, Luweiya Anate exhorted that you can go out on Monday. If I let you out now, what will they think of me?"
The Duchess said righteously to the young knight in pajamas, and then saw Xia De show a regretful expression, and then bent down to pick up the cat at his feet, and walked toward the bedroom again with some loneliness.
Although she knew that this was Xia De's intention, she still softened her heart:
"It's not that I don't let you go out, we are concerned about your health."
Xia De heard the hesitation in her tone, so he performed a backflip and an aerial split while holding Miya, which finally made the witch barely agree to his request.
In fact, Miss Jia Lin Na hoped that Xia De would follow her to the manor for dinner. Even if the restaurants on Silver Cross Avenue were good, they were not as good as the Duchess's private chef. But it was already evening, and the witch didn't want Xia De to take a "long-distance" trip, so they finally went to Silver Cross Avenue.
Of course, even without booking in advance, as the most powerful Duchess in the kingdom, she didn't have to worry about not being able to book the seat she wanted.
After tidying up, after nearly two weeks, the seriously ill Xia De finally stepped out of the house again.
It was already dusk, and the last ray of early spring sunset had not yet disappeared on the edge of the roof west of St. Deran Square.
The not-so-dense crowd walked through the square at the time of getting off work. The mouth of the girl statue holding a water bottle in the center of the square still did not flow with water. The young priest sent by the church to distribute leaflets pulled the newspaper-selling boy and bent over to say something. The laborers pushing wheelbarrows shrank their bodies carefully and walked along the edge of the square toward the southeast of Xia De's house, that building with scaffolding outside.
"Are the neighbors there trying to renovate the house during the spring?"
This was another ordinary evening. The foggy city seemed to have changed nothing since the beginning of winter. But Xia De, standing on the steps at the door, had already felt the warmth in the wind.
Although he could judge the warming of the weather through the plants Luweiya raised on the windowsill while he was recuperating. But this kind of melancholy of missing an entire season between opening and closing the door still made him sigh.
The cat held in Xia De's arms had cat hair reflecting the light of the sunset. The big amber eyes with spirit stared at the pigeons in the square. Although Miya had no aggression toward pigeons, she always liked to stare at the pigeons walking around.
"Why are you sighing?"
Miss Jia Lin Na, who followed Xia De, asked, not caring about the gazes cast by passers-by. In a block like St. Deran Square, there were quite a few citizens who could recognize the Duchess.
"I'm worried that I've missed spring."
"What silly things are you saying, my knight, spring has just begun."
Xia De originally thought that Tifa, who was sent out by Miss Jia Lin Na in advance, just booked a private room or a table in the corner for them. He didn't expect that after arriving at the "Finsney and Clodia Restaurant" in the south of Silver Cross Avenue, Xia De found that she had booked the entire second floor.
The second floor of the restaurant had a large terrace. On the terrace, you can not only overlook Silver Cross Avenue outlined by street lamps, but even see the windows of the buildings in front of Yodel Palace, as well as the windows of the Parliament Hall of the Kingdom Parliament adjacent to Yodel Palace.
Seeing that Xia De's body was really fine, this "date" dinner was held on the terrace. On the terrace, which could originally accommodate four tables, only one square table was placed tonight. The white tablecloth was spread on the desktop, and the golden candlesticks, expensive porcelain plates, and silver knives and forks on the tablecloth were brought by Tifa and the maid ladies from the manor—Miss Jia Lin Na rarely used tableware from outside.
The Duchess's long hair was woven into dozens of small braids and then woven together and hung behind her head. When Xia De lowered his head to eat, she tilted her head slightly and looked at the street that was still brightly lit even at night.
"What are you looking at?"
Xia De asked with a smile, so the witch turned her head and looked at the handsome face opposite in the candlelight. Although there were clouds in the night sky tonight, the moonlight could still shine on the ground. Even though the lights of human steam age civilization made the moonlight thinner, there were still faint silver light marks on Xia De's body:
"I'm thinking, this moment is really peaceful. And two weeks ago, we were still experiencing so many things in the Randall Valley. If, I mean if, you didn't make such a decision at that time, and the God-Calling Ceremony of the Zhengshen Sect was a step late, then what might we be doing now."
Xia De shook his head, put down his knife and fork, said thank you softly, and took the napkin from the brown-haired maid behind him to wipe his mouth:
"That's just 'if'. Didn't we do so much just to avoid those things from happening?"
"I'm very worried. After this incident, the Speaker revealed some very bad news to us."
The witch said hesitantly. Tifa behind Miss Jia Lin Na bent down slightly and poured red wine with the color of gems into the empty glass. This was the "blood wine" brewed by Xia De with grapes, and Miss Jia Lin Na liked this:
"The Speaker said some uncertain words, I always feel that she wants to tell us, um... doomsday, great disaster, and the like."
Xia De showed a smile. This matter was only the speculation of sensitive Ringed Shushi groups like 【Light-Guiding Cult】 and 【Lingxiu Sect】 at the beginning, and now it is finally realized by more and more Ringed Shushi.
"I know about the doomsday, but that is just speculation, and the time is uncertain."
The red-haired Duchess nodded slightly, and her hand with red nail polish picked up the cup, shaking slightly but not drinking:
"If the doomsday really comes, then the number of times I have dinner with you like this can already be counted down, right?"
Xia De put down the napkin, let the maid pushing the dining car change another dish for himself, and he stroked Little Mia on the high stool:
"This is the idea of a pessimist."
"Then what is the idea of an optimist?"
Golden eyes looked at Xia De, and Xia De thought for a while:
"I don't know what an optimist thinks, my own idea is that there will always be a way."
Jia Lin Na Cavendish smiled lightly and let the maid change the next dish for herself. She looked up at the night sky, looking at the sparse stars behind the clouds and fog. The candlelight and the light of the gas lamps on the street made the face with distinct shadows look more mysterious and attractive, and the witch did not hesitate to show her charm to the man in front of her:
"Such a night is really like a dream. When I was a child, I also imagined how I would spend those boring nights when I grew up. This is already better than my imagination."
Xia De nodded slowly:
"According to the aristocratic social rules and metaphors I heard from Princess Lei Qianya, shouldn't I invite you to spend the night at my house now?"
"According to social rules, you shouldn't mention other girls now, even if she is my grandniece."
Miss Jia Lin Na laughed, sipped the cup in her hand, and a blush appeared on her face.
Xia De felt something rubbing against his leg under the table, which reminded him of the few kicks he received at lunch today.
"Since that wonderful night, the knight brought five treasures for the Duchess he served, he never contacted the beautiful Duchess again."
The beautiful lady who was frustrated because of her lover's coldness sighed under the moon.
This time, Xia De had no possibility of grabbing someone else's shoe. The great witch who had learned the lesson of that day at noon took off her shoes first and stretched out her feet. ===== CHAPTER 1493 =====
