Chapter 2699: Miracle Art - Body of Courage
At that time, Flora played a few piano pieces for Xia De on the stage as the end of the day's exploration. Of course, she claimed that this was to accumulate inspiration for completing that elf-style piece later.
The door of the performance hall was knocked at this time. Miss Bell walked over to open the door to check, and then let another young woman inform the witch and Xia De on and off the stage about the situation:
"Prince William Anjou heard that you are here, so he wants to visit."
People always seem to think that visiting famous writers, musicians, or painters helps to improve their artistic taste, or to improve their artistic level in the eyes of others. William Anjou probably thought so.
He came to visit just to say a few words to Flora. The two had met in Willendale before, or rather, Flora had met everyone in the Anjou royal family.
Seeing that there was a young man beside this artist who was rumored to like women, the Prince also wisely didn't disturb for too long before saying goodbye. Although Margaret seemed to look down on this brother of hers, William Anjou was just not as excellent as his eldest brother and sister, and he was not bad at an average level.
After returning to the Accordion Hotel this evening, Xia De announced one more thing:
"I have some things tomorrow, I probably won't appear for a whole day, I'll come over on Friday."
He was embarrassed to say that tomorrow is the date time of "Red Butterfly Day." Fortunately, the two ladies didn't ask:
"Bronte's matter has come to an end, and we will no longer intervene in the investigation of the Love Lake. While the next thing hasn't appeared yet, take a break."
The red-haired girl said very considerately, and even wanted Xia De to come over on the weekend:
"As long as you don't forget Flora's performance."
When returning home after an uneventful day, Xia De unexpectedly found that there were an unusually large number of people at home today. Miss Jia Lin Na, Fannisha, Xilisi, and Princess Lei Qianya had all arrived, plus Luweiya who was staying here temporarily, the dining table was full of people.
"Tomorrow is Red Butterfly Day. Duoluoxi and I have discussed it. I will stay here tonight, so that when she comes over early tomorrow morning, we can start our date immediately."
Her Highness the Princess had made preparations in advance:
"I'll sleep in the guest room tonight, to prevent you from losing interest in us tomorrow."
"You see, this is the situation of the young women in my house now."
The Duchess complained to Fannisha on the side, but the witch of the earth just smiled there.
And during dinner, Xia De also told everyone about the story of the time key today. Of course, the focus was on the six hours spent with Chloe. He temporarily put the oil painting in the living room into the hidden space in the basement, so that it was convenient to explain what Chloe mentioned, suggesting that Xia De go to the area mastered by the Great Witch of "Chaos" in the Council to pray.
"This matter should wait until the matter of Vesta Forest is over before going to handle it. It is not convenient to explain your matter to her directly now."
This was the common opinion of Miss Jia Lin Na and Fannisha, and Xia De had the same idea. Since the long-haired Luweiya said that the mermaid would not attack him again, there was no need to cause extra trouble for the time being.
"However, your Fire Mark can actually sense across time and space?"
Luweiya was most concerned about the last thing Xia De mentioned, and realized the significance of it:
"Whether you want to see them, or they want to see you, you need to know the 'destination.' Now the Fire Mark is the best beacon. Next time you see Miss Feiliananna or Miss Violet and the others, remember to leave a Fire Mark as well. In this way, maybe we can see them take the initiative to find us soon."
"But in this way, the 'expansion' of 6 St. Derand Square cannot be delayed any longer. I have always thought that when Miss Feiliananna and Miss Delage moved in at the end of summer, we didn't entertain them well."
Fannisha said, although she and Xilisi were still in Moon Bay at that time:
"Not only were there not enough maids arranged, but the size of this house is also too small for them who live in the Saint Byrons castle... Xia De, you focus on handling the matter of Vesta Forest, and we will help you solve the problem of house expansion."
The red-haired Duchess also nodded:
"Since we cannot go to Vesta Forest to help for the time being, let's handle this matter. From a probability point of view, the probability of you summoning those demigod witches at the end of the chosen one's story is the greatest, so we must find a suitable relic before the matter of Vesta Forest ends."
"I am more curious about the ancient witch secret art Xia De mentioned. Miss McConna specializes in the secret art of emotions, which has something in common with the spell of memory."
Xilisi pointed out, she sat with Fannisha, and Princess Lei Qianya, who sat at the short side of the dining table, also opened her mouth and said:
"Did Xia De just say that the Miracle Art called 【Body of Courage】 can make him bigger? I mean turning into a giant."
So everyone stopped eating and looked at her, and Her Highness the Princess asked curiously:
"What are you looking at me for? Is there anything wrong with this question? Xilisi talked about the origin and principle of this secret art, and I mentioned the effect of this secret art. This logic is no problem, right?"
"No problem, it's just that it was asked from your mouth..."
Miss Jia Lin Na nodded, and then said to everyone with a smile:
"But since it is a witch secret art, let Xia De learn it and see the effect. The spirit runes are complete, so what about the materials? Xia De, what materials are needed for the learning of this secret art?"
For the learning of 【Body of Courage】, first of all, the material names of the Fifth Era need to be corresponded to the current names, and then everyone found that the ritual materials are not complicated.
Excluding those more basic parts, the core ritual materials that are hardest to get are "Cowardly Bone Flower," "Cowardly Memory," and "Titan Fossil."
The former is a flower that was extremely rare and nearly extinct in the early Fifth Era. According to Miss McConna's notes, at that time, this flower only grew in the rainforest areas of the Central Continent. The flower of this flower looks like a skull, and once there is any sound around, the flower will immediately hide itself in the mud, so it got such a name.
"Oh, it's this kind of flower. Although it is rare, it did not go completely extinct in the Fifth Era. It still existed in the Sixth Era.
Before 874 of the Sixth Era General Calendar, it was indeed rare, and was even once thought to be extinct. But later, professors at the Sex Higher Medical College spent fifty years of cultivation and finally used the few remaining samples to breed flower species that can adapt to most areas of the material world today.
Although this flower is still not much in 1854, it is not particularly precious. Difa, send someone to the manor to take some."
The Duchess said.
As for "Cowardly Memory," it does not require the caster to possess this memory, but requires finding similar memories, and then materializing the conceptual memory substance.
"I'll do it. The Sage-level relic 【Faded Memory】 that Xia De gave me can condense memories. I have stored many different memories, and there should be parts related to cowardice."
Xilisi said with a smile, she was very happy to be able to help Xia De.
The final "Titan Fossil" does not refer to the fossil of the corpse of an ancient Titan giant. This is actually just a rare mineral produced naturally. Because adding it to a potion can produce a local magnification effect, it is popular among some male ring warlocks.
In addition to making potions, making "equipment that can adjust size according to the wearer's body shape" also requires adding this mineral, so this is a very tight ore.
"I have this. In order to comprehend the earth, I collected many rare mineral samples. Titan Fossil was collected by me in my early years. But I remember I left it in Randall Valley. Xia De, trouble you to make a trip."
Fannisha also said.
In short, with different thoughts, the young women easily gathered the ritual materials for Xia De after dinner. Because there are no requirements for the venue and time for holding this ritual, so after Xia De came back with the materials from the Forgotten Church in Randall Valley, the ritual could be held.
"I broke into the Forgotten Church so late, and was almost mistaken for a thief by the young woman guarding the warehouse. Xilisi is also back? How are you so fast?"
In order to prevent the movement from being too big, Xia De chose to hold the ritual in Room 3 on the third floor, which is the room added to the house after the Green Lake incident.
With the help of the young women, the ritual was easily completed. Although only one copy of the ritual materials was prepared, Xia De successfully completed the learning at one time as everyone expected.
The Miracle Art "Body of Courage" associated with the low-whisper 【Cowardice】 spirit rune was successfully learned, so Xia De tried to use it in the room under their instigation:
"Miss McConna said that the upper limit of this Miracle Art is consuming one-third of the spirit, not the upper limit of one-third of the spirit. Reducing the consumption of spirit can achieve local enlargement or weakening of the degree of body expansion..."
Xia De is in a perfect state now, he knows himself very well, so he didn't think about using this Miracle Art with full force for the first time. So under the gaze of a group of young women, ladies, and maid young ladies, he didn't even summon his life ring and activated the Miracle Art directly:
"Body of Courage... help me control the spirit."
【Okay.】
But even so, when the Miracle Art was really activated, as the spirit flowed rapidly in the body and merged into the body and disappeared, Xia De looked at his field of vision getting higher and higher, and still felt that it was difficult to control the consumption of spirit. So when his head was about to touch the ceiling, he was even worried that he would destroy the house.
Worry does not belong to "courage," but it is still an emotion that conflicts with "courage." Also because of the generation of this emotion, after Xia De lowered his head slightly, the consumption of spirit was gradually controlled.
And when the Miracle Art was completely stabilized, Xia De's height had exceeded four meters, reaching the height of the ceiling of this special room. He stood there looking at the ladies around him, feeling that they were all as petite as dolls. ===== CHAPTER 2700 =====
