Chapter 2487

The role of 【Arrow of Night】 can be divided into two parts. The first part is the attack role. The arrow can directly break and swallow light. Whether it is gas lamps or light produced by Ringed Shushi, it can be extinguished.

This is also the reason why Miss Feilian could shoot the "Evil Dragon of Light" to death with one arrow. This Qishu has an absolute restraint effect on things composed of pure light.

And if the attack target is not a light-emitting object, then during the day, "Arrow of Night" can produce physical attack effects on the target and dark corrosion effects similar to 【Shadow Ball】; at night, besides the above effects, 【Arrow of Night】 can also make the hit target fall into various curse states such as confusion, blindness, and madness.

And the second part of the Qishu's characteristics is to fire at an unoccupied area. The position hit by the arrow will produce a venue similar to "Night." The venue suppresses light, and the duration and the degree of proximity to the night are determined by the current environment, the spirit consumed by the caster, and the caster's proficiency in mastering the Qishu.

In short, this complex Witch Secret Technique is very suitable for Xia De.

After mastering the Qishu, Xia De also took Yiluna to Green Island to try it out. It was during the day. Xia De first shot an arrow toward his feet. The surrounding light immediately dimmed. Although it didn't completely reach the "Night" state, it was enough to be called letting Xia De enter his home field.

The evidence lies in the fact that once entering the dark venue created by "Arrow of Night," Yiluna said that her Qishu like "Light Spell" and "Sunlight Spear" would be affected by the weakening effect, and this had no effect on Xia De's Qishu.

In such leisure and busyness, time quickly officially arrived at the Month of Harvest of the Common Calendar 1854, and Xia De also received a letter from Miss Gao De at the beginning of the month as usual.

That was on Wednesday, the 3rd of the Month of Harvest.

In this letter, Miss Gao De didn't mention too many trivial matters. She just said that she was packing her luggage to set off when writing this letter, and the letter would definitely arrive in Tobesk within the week it reached Xia De's hands.

So Xia De suddenly became nervous.

Also becoming nervous were the major newspapers in Tobesk. This was not because of the upcoming visit of Mia Gao De to Xia De Hamilton, but because the due date of Wang Hou Diana was also this week. From pregnancy at the beginning of the year to September now, a new royal member was finally about to be born.

Since entering the Month of Harvest, the major newspapers in Tobesk had all sent their own reporters to wait for news at the gate of Yodel Palace day and night. Xia De felt very strange about this:

"The birth of the Kingdom's new prince and princess is of course very important, but Dorothy, Rhesia's brothers and sisters are already so many, is it necessary for reporters to wait for news as if they want to grab the front-page headline?"

The blonde writer lady who was preparing to spend the night here smiled and said:

"Xia De, this is where you don't understand~ The royal doctor's examination believes that this is highly likely to be twins. Although they don't know if it's a princess or a prince, these are all good signs. Rhesia's generation doesn't have twins yet.

The King believes that now is a turbulent period, and it can just be used to celebrate and boost morale. Whether it's a boy and girl twins, double princesses, or double princes, the royal family will subsequently launch a series of actions, such as directly granting titles to this pair of twins, such as tax reduction this year and disaster relief by the City Hall, etc."

Because Rhesia's brothers and sisters are numerous, princes and princesses do not get titles after they become adults, but will get titles when they get married. According to the royal family, this is to ensure that the granting of titles is based on personal quality, achievements, and contributions, rather than simply based on birth status.

Of course, if royal members have particularly prominent status or importance at birth, or if they show extraordinary talent and contributions when they are young, it might be considered to grant them titles when they are minors, but it is a pity that in Rhesia's generation, except for her eldest brother, no one has this honor.

"Granting titles directly to newborn children? It seems that the contradictions at home and abroad are really about to be unable to be suppressed. Rhesia's two younger brothers can also be considered to be born at the turning point of Derarion."

Xia De sighed, handed the course report he needed to polish to Dorothy across the desk, and the latter continued:

"The financial report for the first two quarters of this year that Rhesia saw is not good-looking, and the climate is so extreme this year. The crop failure this autumn is almost certain. You don't go to buy vegetables, so you don't know the current food prices. I think the problem will be more serious in winter."

"Then has the title for the unborn double princes been decided?"

Xia De asked again. Rhesia and Galina both heard from him that Diana was pregnant with double princes, and Dorothy also knew:

"Is this report of yours too concise, Xia De? Only by writing more can you get a higher score... The princes about to be born have so many older brothers and sisters above them. In terms of succession rights, it won't be their turn anyway.

Plus, you can't let the public think that the princes got titles just because of their status, so this time it's just granting 'Viscount'. You know, royal members rarely get the title of Viscount; they are generally Earls and above.

Rhesia heard from Galina that one is Viscount or Viscountess of Wisest, and one is Viscount or Viscountess of Memphis. Both of these places are in the south of Tobesk, very close to your 'Lei Jiede Town'."

"Then what about the names of the two children?"

"Um... let me ask, oh, Rhesia said no one has mentioned this matter yet."

Xia De originally thought that the birth of the princes had nothing to do with him. He only needed to tidy up the house and wait for Miss Gao De's arrival, but he didn't expect that early Thursday morning, Galina actually came to the door in person, took Xia De's hand, and asked Xia De to go to Yodel Palace with her to visit the Wang Hou:

"Wait a minute, I have to go too?"

Xia De, who was still eating breakfast, was a bit surprised, and the Duchess frowned and said:

"Of course you have to go. All members of the Cavendish family have to go. Now who doesn't know the relationship between you and me? Some time ago, I even moved into your house. If you don't go this time, people will gossip."

"Did you say it backward? No, I don't object to going with you, but you know Miss Gao De might come to the door at any time."

"It doesn't matter, I asked Rhesia to invite Dorothy to your place, she will be here in a while, and Dorothy will be at home during the day these days. If it happens that Miss Gao De visits when you are not at home, our writer will entertain her... Don't take Little Mia to Yodel Palace, pregnant women cannot touch cats."

"Meow~"

The cat eating with its head down meowed, and Galina ordered Tifa behind her to quickly take the maids to change Xia De's clothes:

"The due date is tomorrow, Friday. During the day these two days, you have to stay with me in Yodel Palace to ensure that we can all be present during the birth.

Don't think this is for my face. Now that you appear in front of my nephew a few more times, when you propose to Rhesia in the future, at least he can remember that you have long participated in our family activities."

The maids had already walked over with clothes at this time, and Tifa was holding a tie. When they changed Xia De's clothes, they didn't disturb Xia De and Galina's conversation at all, so they were indeed very professional:

"I know I will explain this to your nephew Larrus III sooner or later. I will be responsible for all of you, but... well, I understand, I will go with you. I hope the children are born smoothly, and everything will get better."

"You can say this kind of thing after the children are born. Oh, Tifa, change the tie, I don't like this color. Xia De, I will live in Yodel Palace at night these few days, but you can come back, but don't sleep too soundly, listen for news at any time."

If it weren't for the fact that she and Xia De hadn't officially married yet, she should have kept Xia De in Yodel Palace too.

Thus, the Outsider was involved in the birth of the new royal members like this. Although he was forced to participate in things that had nothing to do with him, since he was accompanying Galina, Xia De wouldn't complain.

Even when he was bored, he would think that he might also be able to hold the two princes. In this way, when they grow up, he can also say "Oh, I am your Uncle Hamilton. When you were young, I even held you."

【Are you sure it's "Uncle," instead of "Brother" or "Great-Uncle" or something like that?】

"This is really a problem."

But in fact, besides being taken by Galina to see Wang Hou Diana once on Thursday, Xia De never saw the Wang Hou who was about to give birth again.

During the day, he and Galina were in the Duchess's office in Yodel Palace, drinking tea and reading newspapers, or helping the Duchess handle some unimportant documents. During this period, Rhesia and Angelina also came once or twice, but none of them had time to chat with Xia De.

Galina was not always in the office. Although the princes were about to be born, the operation of the country could not stop. When the Duchess went out to handle affairs, only Xia De was left alone to flip through books boredly. Although he had always liked reading, this was indeed very unbearable.

He even tried to play Luo De cards by himself, which once made Xia De feel that he had become the most leisurely person in this palace.

There was no movement all day on Thursday, and Xia De went home to rest that night. When it reached the due date on Friday, there was unexpectedly no news of birth all day. But when time crossed midnight to Saturday, Xia De, who was sleeping very soundly, was chasing the gradually distant Emilia in his dream, but suddenly heard someone calling him:

"Xia De! Xia De! Wake up! Open your eyes, don't sleep!"

It was the writer lady who shared the bed with him calling Xia De. The blonde girl in pajamas had already turned on the gas lamp on the bedside table:

"Change your clothes quickly, the carriage has come to pick you up. Rhesia told me it's about to be born! Get up quickly!"
