Chapter 3904: Chaos Blessing

Xia De didn't know that Adele had appeared. Although he did feel for a moment that he was being watched, there were many maids in the corridor, so even if he was looked at, it was nothing, so Xia De didn't think much about it.

Not long after, Feilian, who had changed her clothes, and Miss McDonald appeared in the dining room on the first floor together. The tall young girl looked like she had just changed her clothes, while Feilian had carefully chosen a purple long dress suitable for lunch.

She didn't mention to Xia De that she had seen Adele just now—mainly because she was afraid of scaring Xia De so that he wouldn't dare to come again. Feilian just asked during lunch:

"Mr. Watson, please allow me to ask a relatively private question: the Great Witch who has a close relationship with you shouldn't be our Speaker, right?"

Xia De felt that in the game of 12 choose 9, she guessed the wrong answer at once:

"Of course not, I don't want to appear directly in front of that Great Witch of Time for the time being."

Feilian nodded lightly. The three of them were still sitting around the square table against the wall, and the maids were serving appetizers. Although there was a collective meeting of the Council tonight, she thought that as long as it wasn't Adele herself, it didn't matter if she didn't know which colleague had a good relationship with Xia De.

The chaotic Great Witch didn't think this kind of "catching undercover" game was interesting, she just purely felt that the more she knew, the more likely she was to be exposed in front of other colleagues in the Council.

And she knew she was a "latecomer." Now if she knew the identity of the "predecessor," she would subconsciously develop a sense of comparison, and even in the smallest possibility, she would think she was inferior to the other party.

Therefore, before the relationship with this interesting, handsome, powerful, steady, and capable man developed further, she didn't want to know who that "lucky one" was:

"As long as it's not Miss Jia Lin Na, it's impossible for her to get all the good things, right?"

During lunch, the three didn't talk about too many important things. After lunch, Miss Eve McDonald temporarily said goodbye and left. She still had to go to the school laboratory in the afternoon.

And Feilian had an appointment with the old plant professor at two o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that there was still some time, she first confirmed that Xia De didn't have the habit of taking a nap, and then proposed to communicate with Xia De about their respective skills as Ringed Shushi, which was actually to familiarize themselves with each other's powers.

Xia De didn't mind this, but he asked:

"Feilian, is it okay for you to accompany me all day? You should be very busy usually, right?"

The witch shook her head immediately:

"In fact, since the end of the year festival, I have been claiming to be recuperating in this mansion. Except for occasionally attending some banquets or going to the Candlekeep Library, other things have been handed over to the girls under me to handle."

"Although it's not that I really have nothing to do all day, it's no problem to take a day to accompany you... I mean, to help you."

After speaking, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, then lowered her head and looked at Xia De with her eyes raised:

"Why, you don't want to see me?"

"She" smiled gently in Xia De's ear. Xia De shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"You don't need to take a nap either, right?"

"With your blood brew, my spirit is very good. Real high-level witches can go without sleep for several weeks, let alone just a nap."

Xia De nodded:

"That's good. Actually, there are some other things I want to say, but this matter involves a very dangerous relic. Let's go to the study. This matter is much more troublesome than the three books."

The matter Xia De wanted to talk about was, of course, "Chaos Blessing." Chloe suggested that he counter the influence of "Desire" by obtaining such a blessing.

Xia De didn't say it yesterday because yesterday was the first time he met Feilian. Wanting to speak now was just because after another morning of getting along, Xia De had already noticed that this Miss Feilian Astley was truly very friendly to him.

【Not just "friendly."】

So the two returned to the study. In the warm afternoon sunlight of early spring, Xia De first briefly explained "Desire," and then mentioned "Chaos Blessing":

"I heard from a witch I am familiar with that only you have the authority to open the special area to obtain the blessing."

Xia De thought Feilian would ask if he could enter the Council like other witches, but unexpectedly, the witch asked:

"Are you saying that the unknowable-level relic is more beautiful than me?"

The smile, gentler than the afternoon sunlight, appeared in Xia De's ear again. Xia De also wanted to laugh, but still seriously compared:

"I don't admit that the other party's appearance is 'beautiful.' Beauty makes people feel happy from the heart, but I feel worried, afraid, and disgusted when I see it. I can only say that although the other party is not as beautiful as you, the other party is more attractive than you."

The black-haired witch subconsciously pouted:

"If there is a chance, I must see that..."

"No, don't contact it even if there is a chance."

Xia De seriously interrupted Feilian's words. The witch was clearly unconvinced:

"I have heard others talk about this kind of relic in the Council. Although the Council has not yet had direct contact with this relic, the organization called 【Clown Troupe】 that participated deeply in the Fatumunster Island incident has been fighting against this kind of relic."

"Humph~ I don't admit that I will lose to that kind of thing. If I have a chance to see it, under safe circumstances, I still look forward to comparing with it."

And then she talked about Xia De's request:

"You can enter the Council, right?"

Xia De nodded:

"I have tried before. As long as there is a Great Witch leading, I can indeed enter and exit at will. But I have nothing to do when I enter, so I just tried it."

"It seems that the witch you are familiar with has really done a lot of bold things... I mean, it seems you already understand the rules of the Council, so I won't repeat the special area rules."

"The 'Chaos Blessing' you want does exist. Before the Fatumunster Island battle, the Council had allowed some witches participating in the battle to accept the blessing to counter the power of fate. But although I can open that area, wanting to obtain Chaos protection through the blessing still requires a vote by the witches. The more votes, the stronger the blessing."

Feilian said. Xia De of course knew these things:

"Must the Speaker participate?"

"If it's just a blessing, no need. I can do it. After all, this is not directly obtaining power, just wanting to get protection. Of course, with the Speaker's participation, the blessing will be stronger."

She said to Xia De very embarrassedly:

"If it's only me and the witch you are familiar with, I'm afraid the strength of the blessing is not enough to counter the unknowable-level relic."

There is no need to worry about this point. In fact, plus Feilian herself, there are already ten people.

"Besides that, are there any other restrictions?"

Xia De confirmed again. Feilian nodded embarrassedly:

"Using that area requires me to provide power. Before the Fatumunster Island battle, my physical condition was already very bad, so I used some special means when opening the blessing at that time. Now the blessing cannot be used again, at least wait another month."

Xia De nodded to show understanding. He is not in a hurry to seek the blessing now, as long as he can obtain the blessing when "Desire" appears again.

He was instead happy that Feilian agreed to his request at once. After all, before yesterday, Xia De thought that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he would at least have to go through the cumbersome steps of "knowing the witch - familiarizing with the witch - improving favorability - helping to deal with some troublesome things."

"That's really grateful. I found that after knowing you, everything seems to have become very smooth."

Xia De said with a smile. Feilian blushed:

"I have this feeling too... Speaking of which, how is the matter of finding someone you want to find locally?"

"I'm still waiting for news from afar. I estimate that this matter won't end for a while, but there's no rush."

"Yes, no need to rush. You can stay in Arcadia City for a while longer. The spring here..."

She winked at Xia De:

"Is very beautiful."

The "Fragrant Mansion" located in the upper city is very close to the Candlekeep Library on the top of the mountain, so it was 1:30 when Xia De and Feilian set off by carriage.

Although there is a tea room on the first floor of the Candlekeep Library, providing tea, coffee, and snacks, and allowing quiet conversation while dining, Feilian and the scholar did not meet there.

Real nobles and scholars with status can use the special "talk room" in the Candlekeep Library. This kind of room is equipped with fireplaces, carpets, and comfortable armchairs. Visiting scholars can even rent this kind of soundproof room to hold salons or academic seminars.

This meeting talk room was on the second floor, and Feilian brought two maids with her. When walking through the quiet library with Xia De, she whispered the background of Professor Thorn to Xia De again.

In the witch's description, this Professor Thorn is the kind of traditional old pedant that Xia De can imagine. He works at a local university and has written many books in his life. In the field of botany, especially in the field of flower cultivation, he can be considered the most outstanding representative.

The other party is related to an unknown Ringed Shushi organization that makes up the "Candlekeep Society," which is why Feilian contacted the other party when trying to help Xia De obtain the plant illustrated book.

"Professor Thorn has been wanting to collect flower seeds from all over the world to run a museum for the past few years, so his financial situation shouldn't be particularly abundant, which is a good thing for us."

"Oh, also, besides Professor Thorn, there should be a friend of his accompanying him in a while. You talk when the time comes. I don't particularly like talking to men. If you need me, I will speak again. Speaking of which, I have arranged an identity for you."

On the corridor between the reading rooms, Feilian whispered to Xia De:

"I used my own identity. After all, it's just trading books, and there's no need to expose that aspect of things. As for you, you are my..." ===== CHAPTER 3905 =====
