Chapter 1493: Three Cavendish

"The knight was not deliberately trying to be cold to the honorable Duchess, it was because the knight was seriously ill."

Xia De explained his behavior very seriously. The table knife in his hand was covered with silver radiance, and he gently drew, and the small beef steak with sauce on the plate was divided into two. Xia De gave the smaller one to Miya, and the remaining nine-tenths remained in front of him:

"In fact, the loyal knight also misses the Duchess he serves very much. I just don't know when I will have the honor to check the Duchess's most precious treasure again."

Miss Jia Lin Na thought for a while before she understood what "treasure" meant. The blush on her face became more obvious, her red lips pursed, and that kind of shy but charming smile made her look even more beautiful.

"How about tonight?"

Xia De then took the initiative to propose an invitation, and the words of agreement almost blurted out by the red-haired witch. She warned herself in her heart to be reserved, but the "coldness" of more than a week made her unable to refuse cleanly:

"Your illness, it hasn't recovered yet."

She pointed out this point softly, but the tone of her speech was like looking for some excuse, looking at Xia De's eyes as if directly saying her thoughts.

Tifa winked at Xia De behind Miss Jia Lin Na, signaling Xia De not to give up.

"Duchess, are you doubting my health and body?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Jia Lin Na looked at him with pursed lips. The maids serving around didn't know what happened under the table in the short pause:

"My grandniece praised you, and that diviner lady also talked to me privately, saying that the knight's basic skills are very solid. Since you think your illness is better, then tonight..."

Golden eyes seemed to be able to convey the feelings of the soul, and Xia De really understood the affection in the eyes.

"Knight, is your g really as comfortable as they said?"

(Little Mia is running...)

Sunday morning, Xia De sat alone at the dining table at home looking at the "Tobesk Morning News", while the maids were busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast. The ingredients were sent directly from the Jia Lin Na Manor this morning, and Tifa cooked personally, wanting to show off to Xia De before the maids left No. 6 St. Deran Square together.

When they woke up this morning, they knew that Xia De would probably not let them stay here anymore. Because judging from the movement from the master bedroom on the second floor last night, Xia De's body had indeed fully recovered.

【Traveler, you have completely swallowed the 'Distorted Filth of the Earth Source'.】

【Your body is comprehensively enhanced (including the anti-strike ability of internal organs and the functional level of organs), and the recovery speed and total amount of spirit are enhanced. You can now choose to be immune to any form of 'petrification'. The effects of strange arts and spells related to curses, shadows, plagues, and earth that you cast are significantly enhanced.】

"She" whispered in his ear, symbolizing that Xia De's "serious illness" process was completely over.

He listened to these contents, looking at the news about the next Industrial Expo on the newspaper in his hand:

"I thought there would be at least a brand-new spirit rune, or a new strange art. Even after swallowing such a high-level thing, it didn't allow me to obtain the 'Earth' spirit rune?"

Although he knew that such thoughts were very greedy, Xia De was still disappointed.

"She" laughed softly in Xia De's ear:

【You still can't understand what kind of ability this power you swallowed gave you. Spirit runes are actually not the most important. Before the Sixth Era, the concept of spirit runes did not even exist. Power belongs to you.】

"No, in fact, I understand what kind of ability this power gave me."

Xia De looked sideways at the bedroom. After waking up this morning, he felt that his body had fully recovered. But the specific time of full recovery seemed to be in the middle of last night:

"Is it a coincidence that I was intimate with the witch before I got sick, and I was intimate with the witch after I got better."

He thought in his heart.

【At least for now, the witch's power cannot interfere with you in any way.】

The sound of a bell suddenly rang from downstairs. Before Xia De got up, the maid had already gone downstairs. Xia De closed his eyes, and the passive effect of the strange art 【Heart of Stone】 appeared. In his "dark vision", the sources of "heartbeat" echoing on the street were blurred, but the heartbeat of movement on the stairs and the heartbeat at the door were incomparably clear.

"There are four people at the door."

Xia De said, closed the newspaper, and heard the sound of footsteps entering the building. Since the maid didn't ask Xia De whether to let strangers in and let them in, the visitors must be acquaintances.

Sure enough, as soon as Princess Lei Qianya appeared, she gave Xia De a warm hug:

"Seeing that you are in such good spirit, I am relieved. Xia De, I wish you good health."

"Princess Lei Qianya, why did you come so early?"

"Of course it's to see you. Although I heard from Dorothy yesterday that you were almost better, I didn't expect the state to be really so good."

"This illness comes fast and goes fast."

Xia De said with a smile, and greeted Ajielina behind Princess Lei Qianya:

"Good morning, Princess Ajielina."

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."

The little princess lifted her skirt and greeted very lady-like.

After Princess Lei Qianya let go of Xia De, she looked at the direction of the kitchen and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"Where is Jia Lin Na? Wasn't she taking care of you here yesterday? Why are there only her maids? It's so early, where did she go?"

"Still resting."

Xia De pointed to the direction of the bedroom. Princess Lei Qianya understood immediately, patted Xia De's arm lightly, and said in a blaming tone:

"Really, doesn't she know that your illness has just recovered? What is this, using herself to check if you have fully recovered?"

The seventeen-year-old princess behind Princess Lei Qianya was stunned for a moment before she understood. She tried to hide her surprised expression. Before this, no one had said that Xia De had become a relative of the Cavendish family again:

"Mr. Hamilton is..."

"Our grandaunt did something very bold."

Princess Lei Qianya said casually, and the seventeen-year-old princess nodded gently, her eyes quietly looking at Xia De.

Her heart was of course quite uncomfortable, but compared to her sister, she was more afraid and in awe of Miss Jia Lin Na, whom she did not see often. At this time, although her heart was mixed, even if she used the pie chart analyzed by the family math teacher of the royal family, she could not explain all the feelings. But she knew that what she was most worried about was the knight's feelings:

"Mr. Hamilton and grandaunt have such a big age gap... He would probably feel very awkward or even disgusted. Grandaunt is really, is the Duchess very great... He is so young and so strong, but forced to..."

The heartache that almost tore the soul, the distortion, and the unspeakable joy were clearer and more obvious than in the past.

Xia De looked at Ajielina, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath, with surprise, feeling that the little princess had the feeling of a Ringed Shushi in his perception for a moment. But it was only for a moment, which showed that she was only one step away from truly awakening her talent.

Today was originally Princess Lei Qianya or Dorothy's turn to take care of the sick Xia De, but now that Xia De's illness was better, there was no need to send anyone to take care of his life.

Thus, Xia De ate breakfast with the three Cavendish ladies and they left together. The witch didn't feel embarrassed to see the younger generation of her family at the dining table, and Princess Lei Qianya didn't feel unhappy about this.

While Xia De informed them to also pay attention to Ajielina's talent awakening, Princess Lei Qianya also repeatedly told Xia De about the Spring Ring City Equestrian Competition, reminding him to sign up, and he must win. It seems that she is planning some activities at the banquet after the competition.

Staying in bed for nearly two weeks did indeed delay Xia De a lot of things.

But fortunately, the house didn't need him to clean up. Except for the "spring cat washing" that was not planned yet, there was no other housework that Xia De needed to worry about. Therefore, after confirming that Miya didn't want to go out, Xia De went to Midehillburg alone through the basement, and then went to the sacrificial field located at the top of the mountains from the local Snake Heart Hospital.

Xia De's visit was not scheduled in advance, but Sister Daifulin seemed to know that he would come today, and was actually standing at the end of the stone steps covered by gray stone ruins at the entrance of the sacrificial field, waiting for Xia De.

"Good morning, Sister!"

He waved and greeted with a smile. The blind nun folded her hands in front of her and nodded slightly in response. The snow on the top of the mountain had not melted yet, and the nun standing in the snow looked even more peaceful than usual.

The sun shone on her crown-style silver eye mask, revealing those ancient and mysterious patterns, and also making the skin on her fair cheeks look even paler than usual. Xia De was very happy to find that the cracks on Sister Daifulin's eye mask had disappeared, and the gap on the side had been filled.

"A part of the mithril remains."

As if "seeing" Xia De staring at her eye mask, the gray-haired nun said softly. Afterwards, she moved away from the entrance of the sacrificial field and welcomed Xia De in.

After repairing Sister Daifulin's eye mask, the remaining mithril was recast into a mithril cube by the craftsmen of the 【Lingxiu Sect】, but the volume was only the size of a dice. Of course, this remaining mithril was already a lot, because this was solid metal, and the original metal cube was hollow in the middle.

To facilitate Xia De's carrying, the six sides of the small mithril cube were really dotted with dice points. And this cube also retained the ability to "reveal the story of the Randall Valley", but the sensitivity was worse than before.

But fortunately, the story of the Randall Valley had also ended.

But Xia De didn't come to visit the nun today just to see how much mithril he had left. He came this time to ask the nun for help regarding the learning method of "Moon Dream". ===== CHAPTER 1494 =====
