Chapter 3883

After explaining the things that need attention, the witch marked the location of the black market for Xia De and explained the precautions of the black market to Xia De in detail.

After she explained these things, seeing that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia De prepared to say goodbye. The witch, who didn't cough anymore but still looked delicate, didn't keep Xia De, but got up to send him to the door:

"I will arrange a carriage to send you to the Candle Keep Library. Although this mansion is not far from the library, the slope in front of the library is not easy to walk."

"I took a carriage when I went to the library in the morning. This time I want to walk there, and by the way, look at the scenery around."

Xia De said. The witch didn't insist and left the Fragrant Mansion with Xia De. After the two came to the door of the Fragrant Mansion, Miss Vigo Astley reached out to Xia De again, and Xia De also reached out and shook it:

"What does this mean? Is shaking hands a popular way of saying goodbye locally?"

The witch smiled:

"No, I just want to confirm again that you are indeed immune to the witch's curse."

She said and let go of Xia De's hand, not giving Xia De any chance to take the initiative to let go of her.

"However, please don't think I am a casual girl. Goodbye, Mr. John Watson, whose real name I don't know. I will use your blood well and let it become a part of me... See you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, still here."

She took the initiative to wave goodbye, but used her left hand to hold a handkerchief and covered her mouth to cough. Xia De opened his mouth slightly and blinked, really not knowing what to say. The process of getting to know this witch today really exceeded his imagination:

"That's good, I will visit on time tomorrow. See you tomorrow... If there is a chance later, I will tell the witch I know that I met you today."

"Yes, you have already said it."

The smile on her face did not diminish, and she just watched Xia De leave the Fragrant Mansion along the downhill road.

And after Xia De's figure completely disappeared, Miss Eve MacDonald, who was tall, walked out from the shadow of the mansion's door:

"Teacher, I have already investigated, no one knows where this person came from. The coachman who first contacted him met him at the alley entrance where Mr. Old Laibury's house is located."

The witch was surprised:

"I said why you didn't appear all afternoon, what are you investigating him for?"

"Teacher, do you trust him like this? This person is full of weirdness everywhere."

The girl who was a student really didn't want to accuse her teacher of being blinded by the other party's beauty.

"Of course I know the other party is weird. Are we not weird?"

Vigo Astley hummed an unknown tune and returned to the mansion with her student:

"Do you think I was fascinated by the other party?"

"Don't dare."

"Your wording is still so rigorous. But you didn't guess wrong, I was indeed fascinated by him."

Thinking of Xia De's appearance just now, a smile appeared on her face again:

"But I didn't really think about nothing. Since the dewdrops came from him, I see that he must have a very deep relationship with the colleague in the Council who provided the dewdrops."

Out of some ideas, Adele didn't say that Megan gave the dewdrops, and Megan herself didn't mention it.

"Teacher, maybe he is just a material supplier for a Great Witch, and the relationship is not very close."

The girl with rose-gold long hair said worriedly again. The two passed through the hall and came to the restaurant, then walked towards the door in the southeast corner.

"Eve, that's why you are a student and I am a teacher. I am the Great Witch of Chaos, and my perception of the four elements is as strong as Miss Jia Lin Na's. When I was sucking blood in the outer city, I could deeply feel his internal situation.

Why do you think he can contact me at will, but is not affected by my special constitution?"

The young girl answered very cautiously:

"Soul and body are exceptionally strong?"

"This is only part of the reason. Do you know, I actually felt the unity of opposites of order and chaos from him. He is both absolute order and the purest chaos. I can't describe it in a few simple words. In short, he himself is the most contradictory point in this normal world.

Therefore, he can be immune to the witch's curse. Therefore, I noticed that he seems to have learned witch secret arts. If I were not the Great Witch of Chaos, I wouldn't be able to feel these at all."

"What?"

The young girl couldn't believe it more and more:

"Teacher, is the other party a witch?"

"No, just a ring warlock, so he is so special and so tempting in my eyes... Eve, help me pick a few clothes in a while. I was dressed very normally when he saw me today, which is too shameful. Also, remind me to prepare some special perfume to give to that gentleman as an apology tomorrow.

As for the captives of the Alchemy Association, deal with them later, just lock them in the basement for a few days."

"Okay, teacher, I have written it all down. But since he has learned witch secret arts, doesn't it mean that he has already had a very deep relationship with a certain witch? Judging from the purpose you want to achieve, this is worse than just a simple cooperative relationship with a witch."

The young girl asked again, and the sick witch said with a smile:

"Of course I know, but can't I compare to others? I am the Great Witch of Chaos, the witch among witches, and the most beautiful witch. I am confident that no matter who I face in the Council, the one who wins in the end is me."

"Even the Speaker?"

Vigo raised an eyebrow:

"Yes, even Adele. She is older than me and too rigid in doing things. Where does she have my means?"

Miss Eve MacDonald pursed her lips and turned to look at her teacher who looked much better than usual:

"Teacher, do you really intend to... with that man..."

"Anyway, I don't have much time to live. Finding a suitable object before I die and experiencing the taste of love, what's wrong with that?"

The witch said with a smile, and then asked her student in a low voice:

"Eve, you will help me, right?"

The young girl didn't want to hear her teacher talk about life expectancy and the like. She nodded heavily:

"Yes, teacher, no matter what you want to do, I will help you."

So Vigo Astley talked to her student while walking along the circular corridor to the depths of the Fragrant Mansion. In fact, she was wrong about at least two things just now—

First, Adele Isabella actually has quite a lot of means, and 'Miss Sabel' is the best evidence; secondly, her opponents are definitely not just one person. Miss Astley clearly underestimated the challenge she was about to face.

Of course, Xia De, who had already left the Fragrant Mansion, didn't know the conversation behind him. He was still thinking about going home for dinner tonight and talking to Miss Jia Lin Na about today's events, so his speed was quite fast when walking to the Candle Keep Library on the top of the mountain.

Carriages need to pass through the mountain road to go to the library, but if it is walking, you only need to climb the stairs, and the distance you need to pass is much less than that of a carriage.

After showing the membership certificate, Xia De entered the library again. There were still many readers in the library in the afternoon. Following Miss Vigo Astley's guidance, Xia De went to the "Astronomy" area in the deepest part of the first floor of the library, and successfully found the area where the ritual to expel ordinary people had been arranged in advance.

There were still many bookshelves in this area. While walking through the bookshelves, Xia De took out a mask and put it on his face. When he came to the end of the bookshelf, the bearded man in charge of guarding the door looked at him:

"Haven't seen you, are you from out of town?"

"Yes, introduced by a friend. I know the rules, the entrance fee is two Oer, and the password is 'Books create value'."

"Your Willendale accent is very standard."

Xia De handed over the silver coins, and after obtaining the pass badge, he walked through the door towards the underground area below the stairs.

The black market in Arcadia City is not much different from other places. A small space has been opened up under the library. This black market provides broker services such as item sales and acquisitions, task commissions and acceptance, etc.

The architectural style of the black market space is basically the same as the ground, so this space should just be a renovation using the original area of the library, not an extra excavation later.

However, the area of the underground black market is insignificant compared to the area of the first floor of the library. However, due to the ancient anti-detection ritual arranged here, Xia De also doesn't know how big the underground part of the library located inside the mountain is.

Miss Jia Lin Na and other witches had already issued the task of "acquiring special coin-type relics in the black market of the city where you are" to witches who didn't know Xia De, so Xia De didn't expect to really harvest new coins when he came here.

But perhaps it was the effect of Ellie's "Apple Blessing" last night that continued to today. When inquiring with the black market merchant, the other party actually had a coin in his hand:

"You came very coincidentally, this coin was sold to me this morning."

Document-level relic 【Flesh and Blood Compensation】, its appearance is blood red, and the color is almost the same as fresh blood.

The characteristics are quite simple. Once someone gives a coin through direct contact, and the other party also receives this coin through direct contact, then without causing lethality, one-tenth of the flesh and blood of the coin recipient will become the flesh and blood of the coin giver.

Simply put, this coin can allow one side to lose weight and the other side to gain weight through "payment".

This sounds quite useful, but in fact, this relic is quite dangerous, because the disappearance of weight is averaged to the whole body, which also includes the brain. Shrinking the brain by one-tenth and having the brain gain one-tenth of the weight out of thin air are not good things for most lives.

Therefore, the so-called "positive characteristics" of this relic are dangerous in themselves. Its negative characteristics are even more dangerous. Every time it absorbs someone else's weight, while having a very small probability of obtaining the other party's physical talent, there is a medium probability of making the ring warlock lose control directly.

Therefore, when trading this dangerous relic, the black market merchant and Xia De were both wearing gloves. Although this relic is dangerous, its use value and research value are not high. Xia De bought it at a relatively appropriate price.

Then he purchased some local unique materials, intending to take them back and put them in Room 3 on the third floor. These materials might be useful in the future. After the purchase, Xia De handed an extra fee of 3 Krona to the black market merchant:

"Ask, is there anything fresh in the city recently?"
