Chapter 1719: With Jia Lin
Relying solely on 【Spear of the Love God】, although still far from the "Dual Unity" Xia De wishes to achieve, desire tells Xia De that once he finds a way to fuse bodies, activating the "Spear of the Love God" at the moment of bodily fusion will be enough to realize the complete "Dual Unity".
"So it is this divine art."
Mr. Upton, who did not know what Xia De intended to do, nodded:
"This is the true secret of our order, a divine art born from the soul's strongest 'guardian' wish ignited by emotion. Even now, within the 【Rosy Cross Society】, only the successive presidents and believers like us can truly access it. However, today we can make an exception. Mr. Watson, do you have time? If you do, we will prepare the ritual for you now. I believe that you, blessed by our Lord, should have no possibility of failing the learning ritual."
This is a genuine divine art, so a believer of the Love God must participate to hold the learning ritual. Xia De had nothing to do today, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
As everyone rose to prepare the ritual, Mr. Richard reminded again:
"Only true love can unleash the power of this divine art. Mr. Watson, are you certain that the one you love also loves you?"
"Of course."
Xia De was quite certain, but after a slight pause, he asked another question: "Can this miracle be used on multiple people at the same time?"
"Although there is no exact record, based on the principle..."
"... it should be like that."
Moreover, if Weng Cheng really went to see you today instead of meeting at tomorrow's banquet, the Demon Lord would be angry.
Just as he raised his paw to knock on the glass, he happened to see Tifa inside, behind the windowsill, unlocking the inner latch and intending to open the window for ventilation.
Jia Lin knew little about Margaret Anjou, the current young prince of the Xia De Foreign Kingdom, remembering only that the "Professor Higgins," the gray-gloved spy who helped her before her death in Midhill City, originally intended for Weng Cheng to send the differential machine's data into Margaret Anjou's hands.
"Since Ajelina followed along, you will temporarily serve as her secretary. These are the documents and speech drafts needed for tomorrow; let you familiarize yourself with them a bit. Actually, the learning should have been finished on the train, but some confidential documents only exist there."
"Yesterday evening, there was a chance to speak with him in the reed thicket, but Samuel was quite interesting. Do you know what you and I said after he left?"
Besides Tifa and Big Sister Carsona, Ajelina was also in the study, but she was sitting before that magnificent brown lacquered leather desk, checking documents that were almost piling up into a mountain. The Second Princess also raised her head to greet Jia Lin, then continued looking at the documents. Big Sister Carsona explained:
Upon seeing Jia Lin, the two went with Jia Lin to their room at the inn and talked about last night's events.
"I have prepared everything. Tomorrow evening, you will act as Megan's male companion and attend first. Midway through, I will have Tifa call you away. You need not do anything; just listen to me."
"Speaking of which, the Xia De Foreign delegation, I recall, was supposed to arrive here this afternoon. Now it is already past lunchtime. Has Duke Ximier, Prince Margaret Anjou, and Princess Greenlake arrived?"
Mr. Hope took a deep breath, suppressing the thought of whether imparting the divine art to the woman before him constituted blasphemy:
"All the power I possess regarding the moon has been strengthened, and it is permanent."
After that, Jia Lin first dropped the glass slipper off at Michaela High Furnace City to go home, then went from the basement to Weng Cheng Hang Hotel; this way was much faster than taking a carriage from Audrey's South Bank to the North Bank.
The Demon Lord's smile on his face grew even wider:
"When she arrived, we were called to welcome her. We got to the train station very early, but the train was late; we waited a full three hours. That was truly unbearable."
Younger brother Charles Furlong complained, not noticing the reason why Jia Lin asked that question.
Bai Xi's nose sniffed at Jia Lin's neck; finding no other scent of perfume, she revealed a satisfied smile. Her golden eyes, brimming with joy, stared at Jia Lin for a few seconds, then closed her eyes and kissed her.
"Yes, but that is daily secretarial work. The workload during negotiations is huge; I do not want to tire out your butler. Moreover, Ajelina herself said she wanted to learn some things."
"How is that possible?" "Oh! A cat!"
After Big Sister Carsona and her group arrived here, they resided in the Rose Manor, which belongs to the royal private property. The manor is located in the relatively prosperous city center of Audrey City, quite close to the Audrey Hotel.
She reached out and embraced the neck of the seated Jia Lin. Jia Lin, looking at the beautiful face so close, asked curiously:
In any case, with the help of eight Old God believers, the learning of 【Spear of the Love God】 went quite smoothly. However, since the ritual learning took too much time, it was already noon by the time they finished.
"Good afternoon, Jia Lin. I guessed you would come this afternoon or evening." The white-haired butler looked at the silver cat outside the window.
After blinking her eyes, her white eyes curved slightly, revealing a bright smile. She opened the window and reached out her hand toward the silver cat, but Jia Lin easily dodged; the cat then entered the room through the window.
She raised her index finger and placed it before Weng Cheng's mouth, her beautiful golden eyes staring at Jia Lin:
"Yes, you and their aunt were both in Audrey last night. Our ancestors have appeared again."
After lunch, when Jia Lin prepared to take her leave, the Furlong brothers entered from outside the inn door again; they had returned at noon to retrieve the data.
Jia Lin did not disguise herself as a visitor to enter; instead, she turned into a cat again, then crawled in through the gaps in the fence.
"Actually, the best head of the Xia De Foreign delegation should have been Prince Andre Anjou, who visited Tobesks City eight years ago. Unfortunately, Prince Andre's health has been poor in recent years; otherwise, under the circumstances where a duke leads the team, there would be no need to simultaneously dispatch a prince and a princess."
She revealed a smile, yet remained so elegant: Jia Lin held her hand; the light of the Silver Moon flashed and passed:
The believers of the Love God were all stunned for a moment before understanding the meaning of this question.
"The distance for Jia Lin to control the entire Demon Lord Council is getting closer... She is truly powerful."
Actually, besides being used by many people, Jia Lin had other "new ideas" regarding that miracle, but she was too embarrassed to ask, intending to try it herself after returning home.
Tifa poured tea for Weng Cheng on the side, while Ajelina quietly watched the scene. After that kiss ended, the Demon Lord's face was full of smiles, and he actively asked about last night's events:
The male duke decisively shook his head, his red long hair swaying:
Jia Lin did not say she would come on Sunday afternoon, so naturally no one would be there to welcome her. Inside the manor, it looked very busy; carriages and people with serious expressions were constantly rushing in and out of the gate, while the Royal Guards responsible for the duke's protection, local police, and even an army battalion drawn in patrolled the surroundings non-stop.
"Since you have already made him feel interested, are you not planning to play that joke with him?"
"It is not surprising that the Chosen Ones could foresee this matter; perhaps their perspective on viewing the world differs from yours, and they are not the same kind of people themselves. Compared to them, Little Yi Lu Na is quite normal... I do not know when you will arrive there, but it will be soon."
"At least this matter must be heard from you. Moreover, do you want to answer now: what exactly did you do to Megan and Weng Cheng Hang? I can clearly feel that my body and soul have undergone huge changes; my whole person is tending toward... perfection. Of course, that is not the point. The point is, last night you said that 'this young lady' is your lover. Truly a good tactic, Mr. Knight."
"Since he has nothing to do, shall we continue talking about Megan and Samuel? Do you know what I said? I said he is a beautiful, elegant, and noble gentleman, and very capable, and that he is definitely not the kind like her."
She spoke softly, handed the teacup to Weng Cheng, and while Jia Lin was drinking tea, continued speaking:
The Demon Lord, holding a teacup on the sofa, immediately saw the cat breaking into the room. Before she could even stand up, Jia Lin had already jumped onto the windowsill and transformed back into human form:
As for returning to Weng Cheng Hang City, naturally, she would set out to visit that red-haired male duke. Since she arrived last night, she should have already received those guests who must be seen this afternoon, so the afternoon will probably not be so busy.
She spoke with slight disappointment, but the smile quickly returned to her face. She patted the sofa beside her, signaling Weng Cheng to come sit over.
"This matter is getting more and more interesting. Oh, speaking of which, you have nothing to do, right? I didn't expect you to actually fight that eighteen-ring sorcerer on the night of the lunar eclipse in Audrey, no, it should be said, two of them. The performance was quite good,"
The layout of such manor buildings is largely similar, so Jia Lin easily found the study on the seventh floor. However, she did not enter the room; instead, she climbed along the steam pipes wrapped in insulation to the windowsill on the seventh floor. Reading books.
Thus, the three ate lunch together. During the meal, Mr. Richard mentioned that if there were future matters related to "It," they could come find them for help anytime. Although they could not lead the internal affairs of the 【Rosy Cross Society】, at least regarding matters related to the "Love God," they still had significant autonomy.
"Is the secretarial work always done by Tifa?" "I still feel..."
Even Tifa on the side revealed a smile. Although Jia Lin also wanted to laugh, she knew that would be wrong:
Weng Cheng described the matter of the demons, causing the brothers' expressions to become quite ugly. However, since the Rosy Cross Society has decided to actively expose the brothers' identities to the Zhengshen Sect, as long as they actively approach Audrey, there should be no danger or problems.
Of course, Miss Jia Lin had been thinking of visiting Green Lake and Sister Sylvia today. You have just arrived in the Glass City after a long journey, and you will likely need some time to rest and meet with local nobles and officials; it would not be appropriate for me to disturb you then, as I had no time before. Green Lake is the leader of the delegation, so you are far less busy than Sister Weng Chengna.
Ajelina continued to "eavesdrop" on that conversation, and then learned that Weng Cheng had successfully charmed another great demon male once again:
"You..."
After finishing the serious matters, Miss Jia Lin asked that question again and sighed, half in jest and half in earnest:
"You have something, or rather, the Eclipse has given you new power. Sister Sister Daifulin, the cultivators and the Guardians, were indeed right."
