Chapter 3908: The Way of Creation
Miss Rollin twitched because of the sudden pain, and then only a small piece of scorched trace remained on her back. This was a simple external injury, and Xia De's silver light brushed over it, so even the burn marks disappeared.
"This should be no problem."
He withdrew his hand and took the towel handed over by a maid on the side:
"Let Miss Rollin sit up, Feilian, you check her, I'll go outside and wait."
Saying that, he walked toward the door again. Although the witch felt very sorry to let Xia De wait outside by himself, she was also concerned about the girl under her. So soon Xia De heard the sound of crying with joy—it was Miss Rollin, followed by various checks and confirmations.
He stood alone in the underground palace corridor, looking at the slightly simple and unadorned architecture here.
"She" said gently:
【How does it feel to cast this incantation?】
"Very strange, just like growing an extra hand. If I didn't eliminate the 'blood seed' after it grew to the limit just now, I actually have the ability to let a part of it permanently hide in that girl's body."
"This incantation is much more dangerous than I thought. This is different from 【Moon Seal】. 【Moon Seal】 only leaves a mark that can be sensed, while blood seed is... This power should not be used if it can be avoided."
In fact, there are ways to eliminate learned incantations in this world. Ancient divine items and some unique relics can all do this, but Xia De had never thought about eliminating this kind of incantation.
After all, once eliminated, it is basically impossible to obtain it again, and this weird power can also exert unexpected effects at the right time, just like this time.
And Xia De, whose thinking was diverging, had another magical idea at this moment:
"What if I cast 'Blood Seed Parasitism' on myself? Because it is homologous, so it is completely invalid? Or, can I get one, or even several, 'life force reserve sacs' hidden in my body? Or, can I form a piece of flesh and blood that can be deformed at will on my own body, allowing me to grow extra limbs at will?"
"She" smiled and repeated in Xia De's ear:
【You can try it.】
This incantation is extremely simple to cast. Since there is nothing to do at this time, Xia De really tried it. The "blood seed" was extracted again, and then Xia De cast it on himself.
Unlike showing abnormal red on Miss Rollin's body, because its essence is also Xia De's body, there is basically no difference from the skin externally.
And after feeling it carefully, Xia De felt as if he had an extra organ that he could control at will. This blood seed can store life force, and can also be controlled by Xia De for deformation.
Even if Xia De wanted to have two hearts and three lungs in his body, it would probably take a few minutes to complete. And when he controlled the blood seed to approach the body surface, it seemed that something was about to stretch out under the wriggling skin, even if it was to grow a third hand immediately, for Xia De with abundant life force, it only took some time.
"So powerful?"
So, the research and application directions of 【Blood Seed Parasitism】 unfolded in Xia De's head, and he thought of more possibilities. But soon he shook his head and drove all those messy thoughts away.
【Why, don't you want to study this incantation in depth?】
"Yes."
Xia De responded in his heart:
"I have a feeling that if I really dig into the potential of this incantation, I will probably completely break free from the shackles of human form and become another form of existence. I will become stronger and harder to be defeated because of this, but I don't want to be like this. I have always firmly believed in my heart that I am a human, not anything else. Even if I become a god, I know that I am a god based on humans."
He leaned against the wall of the underground palace corridor, his eyes looking at the void in front of him:
"I have my own ideas. This incantation can completely make me stronger in the state of a mortal, but I don't want to pay the price. Besides, 'Silver Moon' is my path. I can refuse fate in the 【Tower of All Things】, so naturally, I can also refuse this flesh-and-blood path from the 'House of Pseudo-Humans'."
"I don't look like Laplace Howard who needs to repeatedly try various choices. Didn't I already make a choice when I was willing to listen to your suggestion and chose 'Sulen' as my middle name?"
However, although Xia De doesn't intend to dig into the potential of 【Blood Seed Parasitism】, shallow application is still possible. This is of course not an application like growing extra limbs. Xia De can cast "blood seed" on himself to absorb life force first, and then share this "blood seed" out, directly sharing his life force with others.
After all, among the treatment methods he currently masters, only "Sunlight Healing" has the ability to directly replenish life force, while other treatment methods are more inclined to expel curses and foreign objects, purification, and accelerating wound healing.
【Can grow extra limbs.】
"She" repeated with a smile in Xia De's ear. Xia De pretended not to hear it, just like he didn't want to apply "Transformation Technique - Snake" to other aspects. Xia De refused any choice that might make him deviate from the human path.
Ringed Shushi should be like this, having choices to conduct research and use when facing power, otherwise, they will lose control if they are not careful. Xia De didn't face such problems when he was in the low ring, and when he reached the high ring, facing more tempting options, he also had to conduct careful discrimination and thinking.
However, the outlander doesn't worry that he will go the wrong way. After all, in his heart, there is really only one moon.
Feilian didn't let Xia De wait too long outside. When Xia De's thinking had already run to what to eat tonight, the witch called him back in.
At this time, Miss Rollin had changed into a decent blue dress and was draped in a blanket. Excessive life force accumulated in her body, leading to the girl's complexion being extremely rosy. Her current state is equivalent to an ordinary person taking an excessive amount of tonic. She will probably have to use some unique incantations to consume such a huge life force later.
And before that girl gratefully wanted to thank Xia De solemnly, Feilian hugged Xia De with her arms open:
"Thank you, really thank you. A few days ago, I really thought I was going to lose Laura."
The faint perfume scent she had rushed to his face. Xia De was a bit embarrassed. He had always liked to help others.
As for Miss Rollin, she saw the look from her maid companion, signaling her not to speak at this moment. The injured girl didn't know the things that happened in these few days and her master's current plans, but the maid ladies around knew very well that they must not disturb their master at this moment.
Although Feilian had always been good to them, the witch would sometimes be very petty.
Feilian didn't hug Xia De for too long and let go of him at the right time:
"Your arrival really helped me a lot. First, you treated me, and then you treated the follower who is very important to me. Your..."
"Alright, alright, don't say this for now."
Xia De stopped her:
"You should take Miss Rollin back to the mansion and check again. And don't you have things to do tonight? It's already past five-thirty."
Feilian then remembered the Council meeting at seven o'clock:
"Are you leaving too? Let me see you off. Will you come over tomorrow?"
She asked somewhat uneasily, and Xia De nodded:
"Tomorrow is Friday. During the day, I have to go to the outer city to find Mr. Javier Finch for the 【Active Metal】 matter. Later, if there is time, I will find Old Mr. Leibori to tell him that I have already obtained two books."
"I see..."
"So what time does the banquet tomorrow night start? Where should we meet?"
Xia De asked, and Feilian's golden eyes seemed to light up:
"Still here. Do I need to prepare formal wear for you?"
"I have my own, I will prepare it and come over."
"Then you come here at five o'clock in the afternoon, let's prepare again, and set off at six-thirty. The banquet starts at seven and lasts until eleven."
She had already thought of many arrangements for tomorrow night. Although the charity banquet had no dance segment, this kind of activity of attending the banquet together was a very good opportunity to deepen the relationship in the theoretical knowledge she understood.
Xia De nodded:
"That's good, I will be here on time at five o'clock tomorrow."
The witch then let her maids send Miss Rollin to the washroom to wash up first, and she sent Xia De to the entrance of the Fragrant Mansion.
They spent a long time underground, and it was sunset outside at this moment. Standing on the cliff where the Fragrant Mansion was located, looking at the countless roofs illuminated by the sunset in the lower city, and the people shuttling between the roofs preparing to return home, this scenery was really good.
"Then see you tomorrow, I will wait for you."
Feilian's pale face also showed a flush in the brilliant sunset, and she waved her tender white little hand to say goodbye to Xia De.
Xia De also responded with a smile, and then he considered that since there was no one at home yesterday, it was absolutely impossible for no one to be there today, so he might clarify everything with Feilian in the near future, so Xia De didn't walk away, but took out the "Crystal Shoe Card" from his pocket after saying goodbye to the witch. When the shoe was thrown high, it reflected colorful light in the brilliant sunset.
The shoe then disappeared with Xia De.
"The fairy tale of 'Cinderella'?"
Feilian associated it with this almost at once. She was in poor health when she was young and often rested in bed, so she knew quite a lot about fairy tales.
"So, he might not live in Arcadia City at all... So that's how it is."
The witch thought she knew more about "John Watson," so she returned to the mansion in a good mood, preparing to return to the meeting tonight after a hurried meal:
"However, which witch will be the one who is close to him? Tonight, I can test it slightly, and then observe carefully. If I can say that name at once tomorrow, he will definitely be scared by me." ===== CHAPTER 3909 =====
