Chapter 3882
Xia De was still very active in treating this witch of chaos. This was definitely not just because the other party looked good. He was curious about the current effect of his flesh and blood, had a great favor for the other party, and looked forward to the other party being able to open the "Blessing of Chaos" to help himself resist that mermaid.
And the source of favor was that she was the only witch who didn't suspect him at all from the beginning.
The maid soon brought an empty crystal wine bottle, which looked like a work of art. Then Xia De cut his palm in the painful expression of the witch opposite:
"Miracle - Blood Wine Brewing."
Drops of blood flew out from his palm. Xia De made the wound deeper this time. His original intention was to store more blood wine. After all, he didn't want to cut his palm frequently. But after forty drops of blood flew out, the witch hurriedly said:
"Enough, enough, this is enough, I don't need so much, please stop."
Although it was only forty drops of blood, the amount of blood wine brewed was quite large. The crystal wine bottle, which was not small in volume, was already half full. After Xia De stuffed the cork and shook the wine bottle violently, confirming that the miracle effect ended and the blood wine was successfully brewed, he opened the bottle again.
Immediately, an intoxicating wine aroma surged out of the wine bottle and quickly dispersed in the study. This was also the first time Xia De used so much of his own blood to brew blood wine, and he didn't expect the wine aroma to be so obvious. However, he never liked drinking, so he just felt the smell was okay.
But Vigo, who took a deep breath, immediately had a flush on her face. As for the maids in the room, a faint red also appeared on their faces.
"This kind of smell..."
The witch said softly:
"Although you will feel this is exaggerated, I really think that even if I just sniff it, I can live for another half a month."
Xia De was amused by her:
"I don't have the ability to make people live forever, even if I shave my head. After brewing blood into blood wine, you don't have to worry about the smell of blood when you drink it."
He said and put the wine bottle on the desktop. So the witch asked the maid who was smelling the intoxicating aroma to take a set of crystal essence small bottles and transfer the liquid that looked like liquid red gems to the essence small bottles. The first four bottles were completely filled, and the fifth bottle was only half full.
"Very beautiful liquid~"
The delicate witch held the last crystal bottle in her hand and said softly. This was definitely not a deliberate compliment, and there was still intoxication in her eyes. And Xia De always felt that this scene had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"I wouldn't be like this when I first looked at that pink essence small bottle, right?"
He thought to himself, and asked again:
"Do you want to try the effect?"
So Vigo carefully opened the bottle stopper again, and then dripped three drops of blood wine into the teacup in front of her.
She put the bottle stopper back very solemnly, put all the crystal essence small bottles on the coffee table where they were not easy to be touched, and then picked up the cup of tea and took a light sip, then couldn't help but squint her eyes:
"This taste... this is the best black tea I have ever drunk."
She didn't know what she thought of, and looked at Xia De with a slightly red face:
"Not only is the temperament outstanding, the appearance is very good, the strength is also very powerful, and even the blood has a strange fragrance. Even the most beautiful fantasies of future lovers by girls in their girlhood probably wouldn't be able to imagine such a perfect person."
"Please don't praise me like this, drink this cup of tea completely, and try to see how the effect is."
She drank the cup of tea like a lady, and then chatted with Xia De about local folk customs. After another topic ended, Xia De, who was sitting on the short sofa, pointed out:
"In the full twenty minutes just now, you haven't coughed once. So how do you feel now?"
The witch placed her right hand on her fair neck. Seeing Xia De's eyes look over, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and then she said:
"I feel that my body is much lighter. Although it is not as completely recovered as when I took so much of your blood in the outer city, the feeling now is still very good. At least physical labor can be carried out, and simply casting some miracles should not cause too much pressure on the body."
She lightly swiped her fair neck with the fingertips of her right index finger:
"Taking your blood directly has obvious effects, but the duration is not long. Taking a small amount of this special blood wine can support me in normal life. Mr. Watson, your arrival has brought me too many surprises."
Xia De was relieved:
"You should still have some 【Star Dewdrops】 left there, plus blood wine, I think even supporting a high-intensity battle is possible. Keep the crystal essence small bottles with you from now on. If you need more dewdrops and blood wine, you can also tell me directly. I should be active in Arcadia City for the next week or two."
The witch nodded slightly:
"Besides finding those three books, do you have anything else to do?"
Xia De didn't intend to talk about the blessing of chaos today:
"Yes, my main purpose of coming here is to find someone."
"Male or female?"
The witch asked with concern:
"I don't know either. In fact, I came here based on the guidance of a fortune teller, but the other party is likely just an ordinary person. This matter doesn't need your help for the time being. I am still waiting for clues from afar. Of course, if I need help, I will definitely speak up."
Xia De said. After all, the Astley family is a very prestigious family in this city. Although it is not a "local snake" in the true sense like Bella, it can definitely provide great help.
Vigo Astley smiled and nodded again:
"Then, are you willing to take some commissions from me? Although the number of girls under my command is not small, some things still need to be done by men... especially very powerful men."
She was actually just thinking about deepening the connection between the two. This kind of commission with remuneration is a very good means. Xia De didn't think so much. Taking commissions is a very common thing for him:
"Of course, is it a commission related to the 【Jade Alchemy Association】?"
"It can also be considered so. About a month ago, I received news that a group of powerful ring warlocks came to the local area and had contact with the 【Jade Alchemy Association】. The latter was able to track me recently because they got some knowledge from that group of outsiders."
She supported her face with her right hand, looking sorrowful:
"I let the girls investigate the origin and purpose of that group of outsiders, but the other party is very cautious and the level is quite high. My own body is not good, and the highest level of followers is only nine rings. They suffered some losses in an investigation half a month ago.
I originally thought about whether to borrow some manpower from colleagues in the Council to help. Since you appeared, please come to help. I will not be stingy with the reward."
"Investigating outsiders, right? Any clues?"
Xia De asked, and the witch nodded:
"After my follower was injured, she hasn't recovered yet. If you are interested, I can take you to visit her tomorrow. Maybe you can get some clues from her. Also, after that group of outsiders came to this city, they have been secretly active in the outer city. If you encounter relevant clues during your stay here, please help investigate."
These are all very simple things, Xia De nodded and agreed:
"That's good, I will come again at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Now there is still some time before dusk, I want to go to the local black market to see, can you introduce me?"
"Of course."
This time, the witch didn't say she would take Xia De with her. She understood that if she chased too closely, she might be hated. Although she had no love experience before, in order to prepare to welcome the most suitable person in her heart, she had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from books:
"The largest black market in the local area is actually the Candle Keep Library. The entrance is inside the library. The black market here is managed by the Candle Keep Society I just mentioned, so it is still reliable. Besides them, there are some small ring warlock trading places locally. If you are interested, you can also go and see, but pay attention to their safety. I cannot guarantee this."
Xia De then smiled:
"Since the local area is a city of scholars, are there many special types of books here?"
The witch nodded:
"Yes, after all, those organizations that make up the Candle Keep Society are inclined to knowledge and creation. Plus the Holy See of the Church of Creation is not far away, the local academic atmosphere is very strong. You can experience this slowly later."
After speaking, she called the maid at the door of the study again:
"Go, take a copy of "Arcadia Exploration Guide" for this gentleman."
"Yes, master."
The maid then walked to the bookshelf in the study, and soon took a small notebook-style booklet and handed it to Xia De.
After Xia De opened it, he found that the first three pages could be directly unfolded into a complete city map, and the content behind was a detailed description of the libraries and attractions worth mentioning locally.
"This is a local 'travel guide' published by the Candle Keep Library. It is very novel to print it in a notebook style, right? This was the suggestion Eve made at the time."
She showed a faint smile:
"Give it to me, I will mark the location of the black market for you. Later, you can also follow this exploration guide to enjoy the scenery of this city of scholars."
Then she paused again; "However, it is the war years now, and it is not far from the front line, so the city is not as peaceful as it used to be in these few months. Try not to get close to the edge of the outer city. It is adjacent to Gray Rock Pass, and Gray Rock Pass is now stationed with a large number of soldiers preparing to go to the front line.
Although I know that with your strength, you won't care about ordinary people and the army, but since you still have things to do locally, don't cause trouble for yourself at this time."
