Chapter 3903: Adele and Feilian

After giving the gift, Feilian didn't mean to let Xia De leave before lunch. She then talked to Xia De about the two captives from yesterday.

Both female Ringed Shushi were alchemists from the Alchemist Association. Although their levels were only 8th and 7th ring, not even high-ring, this didn't mean the 【Emerald Alchemist Association】 didn't value the possible clues to the 【Emerald Tablet】:

"Although the Alchemist Association is considered a large organization locally, they dare not rashly let high-ring Ringed Shushi attack me in the outer city. We have had a few exchanges before, and they know I am very powerful. Once a fight starts and attracts the attention of the 【Church of Creation】, it won't be good for anyone."

"And when this organization evaluates members internally, it's not just about the level, but also the level of alchemy. The two you caught, although they can't be called alchemy masters, are enough to be the best suppliers of alchemical items in the black market in ordinary cities."

Xia De nodded:

"It's a pity I didn't give them a chance to exert their own advantages."

At that time, he first seriously injured the 8th-ring Ringed Shushi with a "Moonlight Slash," and then 【Chain of Sin】 restricted the other, easily ending the battle.

The witch nodded:

"Yes. I plan to keep these two locked in the basement for a few more days. Although I don't want to kill them, since they came with malice, I am not the kind of person who would easily say 'forgive'."

She coughed a few more times, taking the opportunity to observe Xia De's expression, confirming that he was not the kind of silly "hero of justice."

Then she told Xia De more information about the 【Emerald Alchemist Association】. Xia De already had a premonition that he would likely stay in this city for a long time, so he listened very seriously, completely losing the idea of taking the morning to visit the old gentleman from the 【Light-Guiding Yinxiu Society】.

And the witch claimed to understand "flesh creation," so Xia De also mentioned the "Moon Egg." He didn't say it in great detail, so Feilian only understood the general idea. After thinking carefully for a long time, she didn't offer any good suggestions:

"If we can find the 【Emerald Tablet】, perhaps we can think of a way through that relic."

Lunch had been prepared in advance. At 11:30 in the morning, the witch got up to change clothes, also giving Xia De time to walk around this "Fragrant Mansion" at will. In fact, it was to give him time to go to the washroom, after all, Xia De had been drinking tea all morning.

Not to mention Xia De marveling at how luxurious the washroom of this mansion was, the cheerful Feilian let her student also change into a dress to have lunch together, and then she went to the changing room on the first floor with the maids.

"Go to the Candlekeep Library with him first this afternoon. If there is still time after visiting the injured Laura, perhaps I can make an appointment to take him to the 'Mechanical Tower' in the upper city... But will this delay his business?"

She thought to herself. After the maid opened the door of that changing room, the witch's expression froze.

This changing room didn't just have wardrobes. After entering the door, it was a pentagonal concave indoor hot spring surrounded by five pillars. The door on the side of the hot spring led to the real changing room. And at this moment, in the room that should have been empty, a figure with beautiful blonde hair and a tear mole at the corner of her eye was sitting on a bench by the hot spring.

Seeing Feilian's strange expression, Adele Isabella raised an eyebrow:

"Good noon, Feilian, what's wrong with you? Didn't you tell me and Audrey last time that we don't need to knock when visiting you, and can just come in directly?"

"Sp-Sp-Sp-Sp-Sp-Speaker?!"

The Great Witch of Time nodded:

"It's me, what's wrong with you? Just now I heard your footsteps were very light when you were walking in the corridor. Have you encountered any good things recently? Oh, your complexion is really good today, and this dress is also very beautiful."

Feilian Astley only felt the world spinning. In an instant, all kinds of terrible possibilities flooded into her heart. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the man she had finally met was discovered by the Speaker. Perhaps it would be a fierce fight between the two, or perhaps that man would be subdued by the Great Witch of Time in an instant.

At this moment, the panic in her heart was about to explode, but she still forced herself to suppress her emotions.

To cover up her expression, she turned to look back, so the maids consciously retreated. The chaotic Great Witch twitched the corners of her mouth a few times, adjusted her expression, and then entered the room and closed the door.

"Good noon, Speaker, I just didn't expect you to come today... When did you arrive?"

She asked very uneasily. Adele looked at her suspiciously, as if wondering what was wrong with her today:

"Ten minutes ago. I heard from your maid that you were seeing a guest upstairs, so I waited here first. Looking out from the window of this room, the scenery is really nice."

"Oh, I didn't let your maid disturb you. After all, I didn't come for anything very important, just wanted to see how you were. Didn't I say before that as long as there is nothing wrong, I or Audrey will come to see you once a week."

"I'm fine... Speaker, you are really polite. Actually, you don't have to always come to see me. I feel much better recently."

"Yes, I noticed that after seeing you this time, you haven't coughed at all."

Adele said. Feilian showed an awkward smile, but still coughed lightly a few times:

"The weather has warmed up recently, and I feel my body has improved a lot. Speaker, I'm really fine, you..."

She suddenly realized that it was noon, and she had no reason not to keep the other party for lunch. But once the other party stayed, the person still on the second floor would increase the possibility of being discovered.

Perhaps he could "escape" smoothly, but in this way, the plans for the whole day would be completely disrupted. Feilian Astley didn't want to end today's meeting like this.

But fortunately, Adele didn't seem to have any intention of staying for lunch:

"Why are you standing so far away from me? Let me check your current situation."

The blonde witch said and walked over, first placing her hand on Feilian's forehead, and then grabbing her wrist to feel it carefully. During this period, the chaotic Great Witch stiffened her body and didn't dare to move at all. After checking, Adele was very surprised:

"Your condition is indeed much better. It's truly amazing. When Audrey sent you supplies last week, you were still as weak as a sandcastle eroded by time."

Feilian could only answer:

"I don't know either. Probably the treatment plan you and Audrey provided was too effective... I also found some ancient treatment methods for 'Congenital Relic Disease' recently. If you are interested, you can take a look."

"Ancient methods? Yes, Audrey also mentioned that there were similar situations during the Fourth Era."

Adele nodded lightly:

"Since you are fine, I won't disturb you anymore. There will be a temporary plenary meeting of the Council tonight. Since your physical condition is better, come and participate, and by the way, write down the new treatment methods you found and bring them to us."

"Okay, Speaker... Are you not staying for lunch? It's already noon."

Although Feilian asked this, she was really just being polite. Therefore, at the moment when Adele showed a hesitant look, she felt her heartbeat was about to stop, but fortunately, Adele only hesitated for a moment:

"Forget it, I have a lot of things to deal with on my side too. Since Xi Wei was promoted to the 13th ring, many changes have occurred in the Council. I am not as idle as Claire who is building the 'Ring Hall.' See you tonight, Feilian, take care of your health and eat well."

"See you tonight, Speaker, and I wish you good health."

She bowed slightly, then watched the Great Witch of Time pull open a door from the air and walk in. After closing the door, the door disappeared into the air again.

"Oh~"

Feilian Astley stood alone in the room and took a deep breath, feeling her heart still beating rapidly. She didn't dare to leave immediately, fearing that the other party had forgotten something and would suddenly appear again.

But this time her worry was also superfluous, because on the second floor of the "Fragrant Mansion" above her head, the Adele who had just left appeared again.

The power taught by the "Past" Adele could even shield the detection of Xia De's badge, so she was able to hide her figure and stand in the corridor, watching Xia De from afar as he looked up at an oil painting titled "The First Child." This was a religious oil painting, on which a priest was hugging a newborn baby. Xia De noticed that the plaque on the oil painting said it was created five hundred years ago.

"So well preserved."

He exclaimed softly, and the maids stood not far away to introduce everything in this "Fragrant Mansion" to him.

Adele's expression didn't change, but after Xia De looked at the oil painting and walked in the direction where she was, she snorted coldly and truly left. Of course, she wasn't losing her temper at Xia De. After all, Xia De didn't do anything wrong in this matter. In fact, she wasn't even here ten minutes ago.

About the time Miss Eve McDonald went to the bedroom to get the perfume bottle for her teacher, the Great Witch of Time had already appeared at the entrance of the mansion, and then discovered Xia De at once.

She stood on the balcony of the study with her back to the room, holding the railing and looking at the spring scenery of Arcadia City under the blue sky and white clouds, heard all the conversations just now, and thus knew the effect of Xia De's blood, knew that the two in the study had only met yesterday, and clearly perceived the eager attitude of the sickly witch under her toward Xia De.

At first, Adele thought Feilian was just trying to get Xia De to provide her with blood to treat her illness, but listening and listening, Adele clearly felt that Feilian Astley had bad intentions.

"One or two are like this, Feilian is even worse. Didn't you just say you met yesterday? Is his charm really that great?"

She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, but even so, Adele didn't expose Feilian on the spot, just pretending she didn't know anything. Although she was very unhappy that Feilian wanted to use Xia De's blood to suppress her illness, she also looked forward to Xia De being able to create miracles again and truly treat this talented but sickly witch into a normal person.

Even if she was still sickly, as long as she wasn't dying, it would be fine.

"One or two, is it possible that there isn't even one truly loyal person among so many people in the Council? Creation, Moon, you two won't be like this too..."

The Great Witch of Time left the Scholar City with some resentment, and subconsciously excluded herself from the ranks of "loyalists." ===== CHAPTER 3904 =====
