Chapter 2811: Tea Extraction Method

The small boat was quickly started by Xia De at the stern, avoiding the floating ice on the water surface and sailing sensitively toward the direction he came from.

Miss Bister curled up her body shivering, opened her mouth and exhaled at her hands. She also missed the campfire very much, and just as she felt her body temperature returning to normal, she noticed that Miss Vilde sitting opposite seemed to be a bit absent-minded, so she asked curiously:

"Miss Vilde, are you okay?"

The dragon witch seemed to have just realized what had happened, subconsciously wanted to look at Xia De again, but her face flushed and she forcibly stopped her head-turning movement:

"Nothing, just didn't expect Mr. Hamilton's transformation art to be so exquisite. The giant dragon he transformed into just now was really..."

She wanted to say "handsome" but was too embarrassed, so she changed it to:

"Really realistic."

Because there was a large amount of floating ice on the water surface nearby, Xia De chose the channel very cautiously and didn't participate in the discussion among the young ladies for the time being.

Iruna, who didn't look cold at all, immediately expressed:

"That's for sure, the giant dragon Xia De transformed into is the most handsome dragon I have ever seen."

She said what the dragon witch was too embarrassed to say, and the Grey Wolf young lady also nodded immediately:

"Yes, yes, I have also seen many dragons, but the dragon Mr. Hamilton transformed into is the most handsome. Miss Vilde, you must have seen more dragons than us. Are silver dragons all so beautiful?"

"That's not a silver dragon."

Miss Vilde corrected immediately, but she was still thinking about the appearance of the "Moonlight Dragon" she had caught a glimpse of just now. So she carefully shifted the topic to the encounter in the tower just now, not wanting to talk about the dragon topic with them anymore, but in fact, her peripheral vision had been secretly sizing up Xia De who was rowing the boat at the stern.

She was different from Fiona. She was a pure-blood dragon, so although she was also based on humans in aesthetics, she didn't give up dragon aesthetics. And Xia De, whether in human form or dragon form, was the type that would never be disliked by any dragon young lady.

Or rather, for pure-blood dragon young ladies, he completely belonged to "one person can satisfy two wishes."

"Teacher, I have met someone extraordinary..."

Because she was worried about being stared at by other things, the small boat returned very quickly. Fortunately, the group didn't encounter the next attack afterward. By the time everyone jumped to the breach on the fourth floor of the castle from the small boat, Miss Metz by the fire stood up immediately to welcome them. She looked quite worried:

"Just now I saw light in the distance. That was the direction you went. What did you encounter?"

"A very tricky enemy, finally beaten away by Miss Vilde and Xia De."

Iruna said, and the group who went out walked quickly back to the campfire together. Only after feeling the warmth of the campfire did Miss Vilde finally breathe a sigh of relief:

"It's really great to have a safe camp in such a dangerous place. I don't want to encounter that thing again."

The group who went out sat down after drying the water on their bodies. Xia De also released Little Mia again. Everyone looked uninjured, but the spirit here was difficult to recover, so the spirit consumed in the battle just now made the Grey Wolf and Green Dragon who were already in poor condition feel a bit uncomfortable.

After resting for a while, Iruna and the Grey Wolf young lady described how the enemy appeared suddenly, and then how it froze the water surface. And although the four who went out didn't know what it was, Miss Metz only heard a simple description and knew:

"How did this kind of thing appear here? That is 【Heartless Demon】. Legend has it that in the extreme north ice sheet of the Northern Continent, there are countless terrible plague sources and parasites that existed in ancient times. The evil thing called 'Heartless Worm' is one of them. This kind of worm is similar to a water element life. It will parasitize in a living organism, freeze the host's soul and body, until it transforms it into what you saw just now."

Although Miss Metz couldn't explain the specific origin and parasitism principle of that kind of worm, in short, it was really very dangerous:

"It seems that if we need to go out next, we must be more careful."

"Parasite, I hate worms the most."

The Green Dragon young lady whispered, and seeing everyone looking at her, she explained again:

"I work as a maid. If others find out that there are worms in the place I cleaned, I will be laughed at for a whole year."

While she was talking, she secretly wanted to look at Xia De again, and then noticed the sharp eyes of the cat in Xia De's arms.

Although it was not appropriate to use "sharp" to describe the eyes of a cute young cat, the Green Dragon always felt that the cat was examining herself, which made her feel very guilty.

But no matter what, at least the purpose of this trip was perfectly achieved. Iruna's "Radiant Sun" and Vilde's "Delicious Black Tea and Snack Making" had all been marked with holy emblems by the God, and they were all ready to teach.

It was just that Xia De didn't have much time left this time, and he had plenty of time to learn from Iruna later. Other young ladies could also learn from Iruna while Xia De was away, so Xia De asked the Green Dragon Witch if she could try teaching now.

"Of course."

The dragon young lady warming by the fire stood up:

"You brought enough tea leaves, that's enough."

Noticing that everyone was looking at her, the witch holding that book "Delicious Black Tea and Snack Making" stood by the fire and coughed lightly:

"You have all seen me make black tea, but I am also good at making snacks. It's just that due to the conditions here, it's not very convenient to start making snacks from flour. But in fact, for a qualified dragon maid, the mystery contained in black tea and snacks is not inferior to potions and decoctions."

She took a pinch of black tea leaves from the small bag Xia De brought:

"I am not the best dragon maid, so the things I can teach you are just learned from this book. Using tea leaves as casting materials, you can make some special tea leaves similar to potions in a short time. Everyone saw this when going underwater."

This referred to the tea leaves she had provided for several people that could be used for underwater sensing and communication:

"What I want to teach you this time is a similar ability."

She put that pinch of tea leaves back, and then piled all the tea leaf bags Xia De brought together:

"Giving tea leaves special effects also involves some theories of transformation art. We are just trying to teach this time, so we won't involve too much. As we all know, delicious black tea and delicious snacks will make people feel happy, and the relaxation of the soul will affect the soul, and then affect the recovery of ether."

Since the logic of the theory is smooth, then we can try to recover ether by 'chewing tea leaves' through secret arts. The book calls this secret art 'Tea Extraction Method'. Although this method of recovering ether doesn't recover much, it might be useful in key battles."

Since it was a rare spell that could actively recover spirit, even if it recovered little, it was completely worth learning for Xia De.

So everyone watched Miss Vilde skillfully use the "pinch" method to take different kinds of tea leaves from the tea leaf bag and put them into the teapot. While taking the tea leaves, she also looked at the tea leaf dosage required by the book flying beside her, looking like a maid reading a cookbook while cooking.

After taking the tea leaves, she didn't put water in the teapot, but engraved extremely complex ritual patterns on the surface of the teapot. Finally, she let the teapot fly up, and spat out a mouthful of flames to wrap the teapot. After the flames activated the ritual marks, she muttered words and chanted spells there.

After this process ended, she took out the mixed warm tea leaves and put a pinch in everyone's palm. Little Mia thought this was something to eat, and curiously sniffed it, then disdainfully moved its little head away.

Miss Vilde smiled at it, feeling that her guilt just now was really inexplicable:

"Now put them in your mouth and chew slowly, be careful not to swallow them."

Although black tea is delicious, the taste of chewing dry tea leaves is definitely not good, but everyone still did it. The cat even pulled Xia De's hand twice, as if to stop him from doing so.

However, Xia De noticed that Iruna's appearance when chewing tea leaves was very cute, her cheeks bulging like a hamster.

As for Xia De himself, at first he felt a clear bitterness. The strange taste of dry, slightly woody taste made him once think he was chewing plant fibers.

The tea leaves felt hard when chewed, and the astringency was very heavy. It was just that after chewing for a while, he vaguely perceived a faint sweetness, but the bitter taste was really too heavy, so he didn't know if this was an illusion.

"Okay, after adapting to the taste of tea leaves, now please meditate together. Yes, just like when Miss Bister taught the class last time."

The Green Dragon young lady also sat down chewing tea leaves, sitting on Xia De's right hand side:

"However, our meditation doesn't need to imagine specific scenes. You now need to chew tea leaves while experiencing the feeling of happiness. Everyone's happiness is different, so I won't describe pictures for you. You must have your own unique ideas."

Beautiful green eyes swept over everyone by the fire:

"Try to find the touch of happiness at that moment from the sweetness of the tea leaves. If you succeed, then the 'Tea Extraction Method' will also succeed."

Because the casting materials were not enough before, she actually hadn't mastered this special secret art—last time the werewolf young lady just taught everyone meditation, and didn't expect Xia De to learn transformation art. Therefore, she was not only teaching everyone, but actually learning herself.

So everyone stopped talking, but chewed tea leaves together, only the frequency was slightly different. The young ladies chewed very elegantly and wouldn't make strange sounds, so the crackling sound of the campfire they sat around became more obvious. ===== CHAPTER 2812 =====
