Chapter 477: Enhancement of the Medicine

~7 min read 1,304 words

The investigation proceeded very smoothly. After saying goodbye to Miss Mary, Xia De and the black-haired maid returned to the Three Cats Inn in Chant Square for lunch. Neither of them had eaten just now, and the Three Cats Inn could be considered a relatively good restaurant in this area.

While waiting for the food, Miss Servit took the few pieces of sheet music to look at, while Xia De examined the medicine against the light.

"Mr. Hamilton, do you think Miss Mary just now really didn't feel any regret or sadness about Bondi's death?"

She suddenly asked. Xia De moved his eyes away from the bottle in his hand:

"You're still thinking about this?"

He asked in confusion, but still gave his own opinion:

"The relationship between Mr. Bondi and her should be closer than we think, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many personal items. Especially this medicine bottle. The inheritance obtained by the Noshan Opera Troupe only had an empty bottle, and the landlord didn't find similar things, which shows that the medicine in Mr. Bondi's hands wasn't much either. But in this situation, he could still leave half a bottle of medicine with Mary. Please, what does this explain?"

The black-haired young lady thought for a moment:

"Great trust, to the point that he could entrust his hope of continuously obtaining light to the other party's hands."

"Yes."

Xia De nodded.

"But just now when you mentioned the musician's death, she didn't show any emotion."

Miss Servit asked again. Xia De shook his head:

"She was protecting herself. If we were Mr. Bondi's enemies, do you think we would vent our anger on her? And this kind of woman with rich social experience and engaged in technical professions at the bottom, must have experienced all kinds of things herself. It's not that her heart is hard, it's just that she has seen too much..."

"In other words, is it possible that after we left, she would hold the musician's coat and cry?"

She asked Xia De while supporting her face with her hand, her long black hair brushing past her ear.

Xia De shook his head again:

"In my view, it's more likely she is currently calculating how much money those belongings can get her. People at the bottom, where would they care about any romance and love? Everything just now was our own deduction, and it's also possible that she was really responding to Mr. Bondi's sincere feelings with false emotions. I'm not discriminating against this kind of profession, but this kind of professional is very good at acting."

The maid thought for a moment and nodded:

"That is indeed the case."

"And this is just someone else's story, and we are just witnessing it. What difference does true or false make? Compared to Miss Mary and Mr. Bondi, what I care more about is what effect this medicine actually has."

Xia De frowned while holding the medicine bottle.

Generally speaking, few Ring Mages would rashly use a magic potion whose effect they didn't know, especially this kind of medicine that had to be dripped into the eyes.

But Mr. Bondi had already proven with himself that this bright yellow medicine like oil only made the user see strange things, thereby causing frenzy, and wouldn't cause direct harm. Xia De was least afraid of mental harm; he had seen more terrible things than most Ring Mages.

And since Mr. Bondi died of suicide, not directly from his head exploding, it showed that the things he saw weren't actually very terrible. So before visiting the ophthalmologist Jacob Alfred in the afternoon, Xia De decided to try using an extremely small amount of the medicine himself.

Miss Servit was of course very opposed, but Xia De was very confident, because after his fingers touched it again, "she" in his ear still believed that this medicine itself didn't have any harmfulness.

After finishing lunch at the Three Cats Inn, Xia De asked for a small room on the third floor of the inn. The room wasn't big; the wardrobe, bed, and desk—these three pieces of furniture already left almost no place to stand in the room.

Xia De took off his coat and lay on the washed-white bed sheet, then asked Miss Servit to drip the medicine into his right eye.

"Are you really sure there's no problem?"

She was still very worried.

"Of course, I trust myself very much."

Xia De said with a smile while lying there:

"Besides, Mr. Bondi spent two months before being driven to suicide. I am a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, how could I be more fragile than him? Come quickly, after the experiment, we will go find that Dr. Alfred."

Xia De patted his face, then closed his left eye and opened his right eye wide.

Miss Servit sat on the edge of the bed with some difficulty, pulled the stopper out of the bottle, and with a finger, a full liquid drop flew out.

"Then Mr. Hamilton, are you ready?"

"Of course."

The liquid drop hovered above Xia De's eye, but the black-haired young lady delayed letting it fall:

"How about I do it?"

"Miss Servit, Miss Galina said that you should listen to me today."

"The Young Lady didn't say that, she just said let me be your assistant."

She defended softly, then let the liquid drop enter Xia De's eye.

The liquid entered the eye, but Xia De resisted not blinking. Most of the liquid moistened the eyeball, and a small amount slid down along the side of his face. This feeling was actually no different from dripping eye drops.

And after adapting to the feeling of a small amount of liquid entering his eye, he lay on the bed with his shoes on, looking at the yellowed ceiling with his hands crossed over his chest.

A few seconds later, his right eye felt cool, and subsequently, the slight spirit in the liquid took effect.

A faint blood-colored halo appeared before Xia De's eyes, and then the halo became stronger and stronger, until Xia De clearly saw all the blood color in his field of vision.

"What?"

He sat up at once.

"What's wrong?"

Miss Servit hurriedly supported Xia De:

"What happened?"

"My spell 【Blood Echo】 activated automatically."

Xia De sat up and blinked his eyes desperately, but the automatically activated 【Blood Echo】 had no intention of stopping at all. And the effect of this spell was better than any previous time.

He could not only clearly see all the blood-colored halos in this room, but could even clearly distinguish the halos of different periods through colors and layers, to the point that he could almost deduce the cause of every bloodstain. Even in the state of "Divine Radiance," Xia De couldn't make the spell exert such an effect.

It wasn't just the spell; everything before his eyes became clearer than it originally was. Xia De's physical fitness itself was strong, and his vision was also extremely excellent. But the things he saw through his right eye at this moment became even clearer; this was a feeling he had never had before.

Even looking out from the room's window, the appearance of the city in the distance through the hazy mist could be clearly captured.

Closing his right eye again and observing with his normal left eye, everything returned to its original appearance.

"This kind of medicine can enhance spells and miracles related to the eyes in a short time, and greatly enhance vision!"

Xia De reached a conclusion, then looked at the bottle held by the maid. The enhancement of vision even allowed him to clearly see the tiny pores on her wrists and palms, and thus reached a conclusion:

"Miss Servit, your skin is really good." ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
