Chapter 4053: Miss Sabel's Gift

After a pleasant night, time came to Wednesday.

After eating breakfast early, Galina returned to the Yodel Palace with great interest. Angelina would probably go to Vigo's side in the afternoon. Galina planned to deal with a whole day's work in the morning, and then enjoy the fun of uncovering the truth in the afternoon. The Duchess had waited for this day for a full half month.

Xivi had nothing to do today, and only left home later, planning to go to Moon Bay to visit Vanessa and Bella first. If Bella had time today, perhaps she would also go to Arcadia City together.

After they all left, Luvia said to Xia De alone:

"Regarding Lemay's matter, when you talk to Vigo Astley, you also have to be tactful. These witches say they don't care, but when someone really mentions it, they still care very much. The kill order against the 【Son Alliance】 has already explained this point very well."

Xia De made an okay gesture to Luvia:

"I only feel relaxed all over now. After explaining the truth to Vigo today, and then being active in Arcadia City, I won't have to cover up. If there are things on that side tonight, I might come back later. Luvia, you receive Iluna at home."

"No problem, then pay attention to safety, and hope you can still bring back some unexpected news today."

Today's "unexpected" happened relatively early. Xia De had just appeared in the basement of the Blue Ink Library when he felt someone in the library.

Nowadays, the library has been basically cleaned up, but it has not been opened to the public yet, so Xia De thought it was Vigo's maid again. But he still chose to leave the library first, and then walked in from the front door.

But after entering the library, what he saw was the blonde Miss Sabel looking at a book by the bookshelf at the door.

"Good morning~"

Adele smiled and shook the *Hamilton Detective Story Collection* in Karsenrik language at Xia De, and then explained to Xia De:

"Last time you told me that if I wanted to find you locally, I should either go to the 【Fragrant Residence】 or come here, so I came here early in the morning to wait for you."

Xia De was very pleasantly surprised:

"Miss Sabel, good morning. You came to Arcadia City again? Since we encountered the 【Son Alliance】 together last time, there has been no peace locally."

Adele was just because Angelina was coming here today, and Xia De estimated he would explain the truth to Vigo, so she came to see the situation.

She originally didn't intend to show up, but after really coming, she felt that hiding and not appearing, just watching Xia De communicate with other witches, was a bit of a loss, so she waited here early in the morning.

"I also heard some local things."

She put the new book in her hand back into the cardboard box at her feet. These books were sent by the maids, and they would be properly placed on the bookshelf later:

"However, I am still passing through locally today, and the train has an hour before it leaves, so I came over to say hello to you."

She stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Xia De with a smile:

"Recently you have also been facing various dangerous things, very hard, right?"

Xia De let out a long sigh and closed the library door smoothly:

"It is a bit hard, but I am also used to it. Unlike the snow mountain, this time the activity venue is mainly in the city, and many means cannot be easily used. Recently I discovered that the main body of the 【Skin-Object Society】 is suspected to have appeared locally, and I fear I will have to investigate this for a period of time recently."

The female warlock nodded very understandingly:

"This is indeed very hard, but I have no way to stay and help for the time being. I hope the witches of the 【Witch Council】 can help you reduce some pressure."

She walked toward Xia De and handed the thing in her hand to him:

"Giving you a small gift, hope it will be helpful to you."

That was a small enamel bottle the thickness of a thumb, plugged with a cork, and then sealed with rare rune paper at the gap between the cork and the bottle mouth. The ancient elf runes on the white enamel small bottle had faded severely, so the full and huge vitality inside the bottle could no longer be covered by the container itself.

"Modern elves have a healing secret medicine named 'Water of Life,' but limited by the material limitations of the current era and the degradation of the Elf Sacred Tree, the effect of the Water of Life is not as good as before."

"The Water of Life inside this was made by the elves in the early Fourth Era, and the life energy contained within it might be useful to you."

"This is too precious, right? Even the current Elf Kingdom might not be able to take out this kind of potion."

Xia De said so. The life energy in the bottle in his hand was unusually stable and unusually huge. The Life Spark extracted from it was completely enough to support him in a high-intensity battle.

This material was too precious, and he didn't want to accept it, but Miss Sabel stepped back two steps, keeping her hands behind her back and not letting Xia De return the bottle to her. This was of course a secret collection of the Witch Council. She guessed from the things Vigo described recently that Xia De needed normal life energy, so she specially found this out.

And rather than letting those disobedient and unfaithful girls use this to gain Xia De's favor, it was better for her to send it herself.

Adele smiled:

"As long as it can help you, consider it you owe me a favor. Actually, there are quite a few secret medicines or treasures containing strong life energy in the material world. If you really need a large amount of life energy, you can search in this direction."

The blonde girl reminded, and stopped Xia De's thanks:

"No need to be so polite with me. Being able to let you owe a favor is not a simple thing."

"Alright, then I will accept it... Do you want to go and have a cup of tea together?"

She smiled and shook her head, waving at Xia De:

"Next time if there is a chance. My train is about to depart. Goodbye, Mr. Watson."

"Goodbye, I will go and see you off."

Xia De felt very embarrassed to take someone else's gift, but the blonde lady still smiled and shook her head to refuse:

"No need for that. I am boarding the train at Grey Rock Pass Station. I think you have other things to do, no need to run so far."

Xia De had to send Miss Sabel to the door, and then watched her leave by carriage.

He lowered his head and looked at the small bottle in his hand again, thinking about what kind of relationship Miss Sabel would have with the current Speaker Adele.

【Why think about this matter?】

"I suspect this is a secret medicine Miss Sabel begged from Adele; otherwise, besides the elves, where else in the material world can take out this kind of thing?"

"She" laughed softly, and Xia De thought about asking Miss Sabel to go to "Madame Bovary's Tea House" for afternoon tea next time if there was a chance. Of course, these were all things for the future, and the most important thing today was waiting for Angelina's arrival.

The weather in Arcadia City today was very gloomy, and it even rained when Xia De arrived by carriage. He browsed the local newspaper *Candle Keep Daily* on the way here, and the newspaper indeed printed the news that the opera house explosion last night caused many casualties.

Xia De wanted to discuss the clues of the "Skin-Object Society" with Vigo again, and then say the content divined by Luvia, but he did not see Vigo after entering the mansion.

Miss MacDonald was also not there. Housekeeper Miss Luo Lin informed Xia De:

"The master went to the City Hall. The local area is going to check large-scale machines citywide, and it is said that the opening time of the Old Continent Expo, which is about to open, will also be postponed."

This was clearly the influence of last night's event. Xia De could understand this. Once the originally huge machine was activated, the damage caused was much stronger than small machines:

"Then when will Vigo come back?"

Miss Luo Lin was very embarrassed:

"The formal large-scale meeting discussed by the City Hall is a small matter, and the informal small-scale closed-door meeting discussed today is the real big matter, so the meeting will not end quickly."

Xia De nodded:

"Then regarding the Holborn Opera Troupe, did news come from the church?"

This was the opera troupe performing in the opera house last night. Miss Luo Lin shook her head:

"No news. The church seems not to have discovered that they have any problems."

It was indeed difficult to directly discover the traces of a small number of "desire worshippers" in the troupe, and since the church did not discover "skin-objects," it meant that there were very few people in the troupe wearing skin-objects.

"Does this opera troupe have its own station? Is it that Queen Anne Opera House?"

Xia De asked again. The top opera troupes of this era all had exclusive opera houses as their stations, such as the Wilde Opera House located in the Randel River Valley bought by Vanessa, which was the station of the 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】.

Miss Luo Lin nodded:

"The Holborn Opera Troupe indeed uses the Queen Anne Opera House as its permanent station, but now the opera house is damaged, and the building itself is still undergoing safety assessment. Miss sent someone to monitor it last night, and now the opera troupe has moved to the 'Hohenheim Opera House' in the Lower City to practice and perform. That is where the Holborn Opera Troupe started."

This opera house's name was the same as the name of Megan and Audrey's eldest uncle. Xia De nodded:

"Then I will go to the Lower City and try to come back before noon."

Miss Luo Lin pursed her lips and lowered her voice:

"The master said that although the opera last night had an accident in the second half, when the lights were off in the first half, it felt quite good... If there is time in the afternoon, the master wants to invite you to appreciate those expensive silk fabrics in the study again. She said you look like you know how to appreciate."

Xia De nodded:

"I will come back as soon as possible."

"Then, do you need to bring that skin-object?"

Miss Luo Lin asked again. Xia De hesitated for a while, and finally decided to bring it along as well. Of course, Vigo had already sealed that skin quite securely, and before finding the 【Skin-Object Society】, she would absolutely not take it out again. ===== CHAPTER 4054 =====
