Chapter 1720

Since she asked what exactly Xia De did with Megan and Audrey, Xia De immediately stopped opposing the duchess's arrangements for the banquet; he didn't want to talk about the experience of two tongues kissing.

Xia De then thought about it and mentioned that he had recently met believers of the Old God "Love God." Of course, he didn't talk about "Desire," but talked about the new sorcery he had acquired.

"The Love God? The council's records state that the witches of the Fifth Era liked to go to the priests of the Love God to seek blessings for love. However, those great witches who were old and still single never thought that their inability to find a beautiful girl was caused by their eccentric personalities."

Miss Jia Jia Lin Na said, sharing an anecdote, and then signaled Xia De to try out the 【Thorn of the Love God】.

Thus, as a crystalline pink light emerged in Xia De's hand, a beautiful pink crystalline thorn appeared in his hand. The sunlight piercing through the gray fog outside the window shone on the crystal, making the ambiguous pink light even more dazzling.

Xia De blinked his eyes suspiciously. He clearly remembered that the "Thorn of the Love God" summoned by this sorcery should be a bright red similar to the holy emblem of the Love God, not this pink color. However, the essence of the sorcery had not shifted, and the color issue was not important.

The witch had already impatiently taken the weapon from Xia De's hand and carefully stabbed it into her own chest—actually, other parts would have worked too.

"The feeling isn't like stabbing into flesh and blood with a solid object, but rather like falling into water."

She commented like this, let go of her hand, and saw the crystal that had stabbed into her body turn into light and disappear.

Subsequently, a pink luster appeared on her palm. With a fierce flick of her hand, amidst a rustling sound, a crystal longsword appeared in her hand. The pink longsword blade was covered with dense crystal clusters, but this way there was no blade part.

Angelina, whose face turned bright red, just watched the two figures disappear at the doorway, and the white-haired head maid just smiled at her before following them. Thus, Her Highness Angelina Cavendish, filled with expectations and panic, waited in the study all afternoon, absent-mindedly looking at documents with sweaty palms, rehearsing the many situations that might happen in her heart.

Jia Lin nodded:

"I just performed a standard spellcasting, so the consumption was one-fifth of the spirit limit."

He carried Miss Fan Xiangna in a bridal style towards the study door. The witch shook her head gently and said with a smile:

"This afternoon, even if my nephew Larrus VIII came from Tobeisk himself, I wouldn't see him. I'm going to interrogate some important intelligence about Green Lake; don't let anyone disturb us."

Because he thought of "Desire," the delayed "sequelae" after multiple contacts with "Desire" yesterday were manifesting. Thinking of the "desires growing" evaluation when Luweiya interpreted his dream this morning, Jia Lin thought for a moment, lowered his head and kissed the side of the red-haired lady's face in his arms, making the smile on her face even more charming.

Tifa said, and then the witch said softly about the action of Mei speaking in Jia Lin's ear:

"Emma has already arrived at the City of Glass this morning. Fanni or next week will bring Schluch Lake and the 【Golden Dawn】 to the south bank of Green Lake. Grandma Cassandra and Xiwei will probably be a little later, but it will only be a week or so."

She leaned into Jia Lin's ear again and whispered a few words, making even the bold outsider blush a little. The witch was very satisfied with this result. After instructing Angelina, whose face was red, about the documents she would need tomorrow, she whispered again:

"Of course it's a soul-type sorcery. You are still in the middle ring now, so you don't have much contact with this, but high-ring sorcerers will mostly have one or two soul spells; that is one of the symbols of high-level status."

"But..."

"How much did this spellcasting consume you?"

"You will be able to do it sooner or later. Besides, compared to spellcasting, what I care about more is that you and I are indeed in love with each other."

"Do you also think this is a soul-type sorcery?"

In fact, the standard spellcasting consumption of 【Thorn of the Love God】 is to temporarily reduce the spirit limit by one-eighth, but Jia Lin was affected by the "Divine Radiance," so the effect of one-fifth and one-eighth was the same.

"Hmm..."

"If you really need me to show up, at worst, I'll let little Angelina come to the bedroom to take my place for a while."

This opportunity is very rare. The Speaker instructed us to try to actively explore the secrets of the Edwards family while ensuring safety. I have the command for this time. I will finish the things in my hands first, and then find a way to get more detailed information about the central island of Green Lake. After the five witches gather, we will carry out the probing work, but it will still be based on Fan Xiang's wishes, after all, she is the protagonist."

She drew a circle with her finger, and then on the left side of her body, several streams of pink light gathered together to form a huge crystal light cluster. And as the witch charged her spell, the spirit accumulated in the pink light cluster became more and more terrifying. Even if it hadn't been released, Jia Lin knew that collapsing a building with one strike wouldn't be a problem, but fortunately, this move also turned into light spots before it was truly released.

After Jia Lin stood up, the witch said to her personal maid:

Fan Xiang noticed that when she referred to other witches, she used their names except for the old witch.

"Look at you, I didn't know before. Why are you so nervous? Do I look like a bad person?"

She sat down again, stroked Jia Lin's chest, and asked while Jia Lin blushed a little.

"Then how do you plan to get information about the central island of Green Lake?"

Fan Xiang asked curiously, and Miss Fan Xiangna nodded.

"Yes, Miss."

So Fan Xiang condensed the pink crystal thorn again and handed it to Tifa. Including Angelina behind the desk, the three watched the white-haired head maid stab the crystal thorn into a part that made other girls very envious.

Then she let the crystal longsword turn into light spots and disappear. The witch raised her hand and waved, and several streams of pink light fell from the sky like small meteorites dragging flame tails, but they disappeared before causing damage to the floor:

"Then does the council have any arrangements for Green Lake? Is your Speaker going to do something?"

She signaled Jia Lin to use the sorcery again. Among the other two in the room, Angelina was not yet a ring sorcerer, so she could only use it on Tifa.

But until evening, except for the maid who came to deliver afternoon tea, she didn't wait for anyone. As for her beautiful great-aunt, that red-haired duchess who was brave enough to challenge a knight, she spent her first romantic and passionate afternoon in the city of Green Lake with great satisfaction.

As far as I know, Miss Meganna has no intelligence sources locally.

"Yes, the Speaker doesn't know about Xia De's Edwards descendant identity, so naturally, she also guesses whether you are the Chosen One."

"Worthy of being a 17th-level witch, to think of so many uses in such a short time."

Fan Xiang praised on the side, and the red-haired witch waved her hand with a smile:

That voice was a bit hoarse, and for a moment it actually made Jia Lin think of "Desire" again.

"Crystal Hail, and this..."

"You must go home to spend the night, so it's hard for me to persuade you not to go home at night, so it can only be in the afternoon. It's not easy to travel on a boring train, isn't it good to help me change my mood? Besides, since I said it, you shouldn't have recognized me in the reeds last night, so I'll give you some punishment. I am the Duchess of Delarion, and I keep my word."

"This kind of crystal sword itself doesn't rely on the blade to cause physical damage. Fan Xiang, you probably haven't seen anything similar. This is a magic weapon, a more traditional magic sword. It's truly beautiful."

"It's called the core divine art by those believers of the Love God, and it's truly justified. This is equivalent to creating a crystal soul spellcasting system out of thin air."

Miss Fan Xiangna commented, and at this time Jia Lin also interrupted the spellcasting, letting his spirit limit return to normal.

The great witch, who was a 17th-level part-timer and 17th-ring sorcerer, said with a smile, stood up, held the sword and gestured a few times, and asked Jia Lin to summon the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 to test the hardness with each other.

"Your spirit is truly vast; just one-fifth of the limit can bring about this effect. However, this kind of crystal soul magic doesn't strengthen me much. It's not that its effect isn't strong, it's that I have better methods of my own. But for those girls who are lower in level than you, this will be very useful."

Clearly there was her own head maid in the room, but she mentioned her grand-niece, which should be teasing two people at once. No, it was teasing three people.

She teased for a while, then talked about other great witches:

As for what Miss Meganna experimented with last, it was turning the pink crystal into a shield to block in front of herself. But compared to those attempts just now, this kind of spellcasting shaping was not worth mentioning.

"The bedroom is on the third floor, and I've already had people chill the wine in advance. We can... have a drink together."

"But will it really delay your business? I don't want to damage your reputation."

"Oh, didn't you just say that you also gained new power and blessings from the moon last night? Why don't you let me see it now."

Angelina, who was eavesdropping on all this, didn't feel strange at all, but instead thought it was a matter of course; she had seen this kind of thing too many times. The white-haired maid had no expression, which meant Jia Lin had to face this topic himself:

The witch said with a smile, sat on Jia Lin's lap, wrapped her arms around Jia Lin's neck, and signaled Fan Xiang to pick her up.

The crystal melted into her body. Tifa first tried the spellcasting process of Miss Fan Xiangna just now. The crystal shaping was no problem, but the level of Crystal Hail and Crystal Light Cluster was obviously weaker.

"Of course it's you. Is there anyone who knows that place better than you recently?"

Jia Lin rated this highly, and Miss Meganna cared about other things. She laughed softly:

"Adultery."

"Tifa can use it too. You and your maid, you really are committing adultery."
