Xia De replied, while Rezia was still curious:
"He married three wives?"
"Have you asked this question before?"
Xia De put down the knife in his right hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and the maid on the side changed the next dish for them.
Mia waits for Shad to be fed, and Adelina feigns interest in the new meal. In the quiet private room of the club, no one else disturbs them, it is very suitable for a date.
"I mean, a man can marry three wives. Even in the Fifth Epoch where gender relations are so special, some people did it."
Her Royal Highness looked at Xia De, and Xia De understood what she wanted to express.
"I....."
"You don't have to promise me anything."
Rezia interrupted Xia De just as he spoke, and looked at Xia De with blue eyes:
"I believe in you, I have always believed in you. However, if you really want to do something, how about going back to Yodle Palace with me tonight?"
Agelina glanced at her sister cautiously, and Rezia smiled at Xia De:
"You can hide in our carriage for a while, just turn into a butterfly and hide under my skirt. Don't you like my bed very much, Mia?"
It seems that Mia will spend the night in the cloakroom again tonight.
(Mia is running...)
Although Tuesday is the day when Mr. Lasers, the guardian, said that there will be a new change in the earth, Shade and the witch plan to go to see the situation at night. Therefore, when he came to Randall Valley during the day, what he was thinking in his heart was still whether to see the lady librarian of the college.
Luvia had already gone to the Prophet Association at this time, and Miss Benanis was not at the Wilde Opera House, so Shade expressed his confusion to Miss Lathers, and the young blonde girl also gave a similar answer to Luvia. Ya said that:
"This kind of thing is up to you to decide, besides, I believe you have already made a decision."
Although the actual age of Miss Lathers is very similar to that of Shade's body, it is probably because she took over the position of leader of the church early, she has always seemed quite mature.
After getting advice from her, Shad also decided to visit Miss Dennister who was in the Randall Valley. Letting this lady, who probably already guessed something, know that he ran around casually was a trivial matter, but Fiona's safety and mission were the major ones. Once he figured this out, Xia De no longer hesitated. He set off from the Wilde Opera House in a carriage and went directly to the manor where the professors of St. Byrence lived temporarily at the end of Black Cedar Street in the west of the city.
It is generally impolite to visit without an appointment. The old guard of the manor talked to Shad through the fence door, and did not mean to let Shad go in directly.
"I'm here to see Professor Daniste. I'm an old acquaintance of hers at the academy."
Because he didn't want more people to know that he was in the Randall Valley, Shad spoke very cautiously.
And the old guard looked expressionless:
"You are late, the professor and his party set off for the Church of the Sun an hour ago to visit the patients there."
Although they came here for the Chosen Ones, the professors certainly wouldn't ignore the local "Petrochemical Plague".
"Is that so? Okay, I understand... But is it really okay to just tell me the whereabouts of the professor?"
Xia De asked curiously, while the old guard complained to him:
"You're not the first guy to visit Professor Daniste. Do you know how many people come to see her these days? The son of a classmate, the sister of a student she taught, friends she met while traveling Friends... Oh, too many people heard that the professor came to this place, and they couldn't wait to come to make friends, do you think you are the first?"
It seemed that he was really tired of dealing with all kinds of strange guys, and Shad also realized how unattainable the librarian of St. Byrence was in the eyes of ordinary ring magicians.
so he
Then I took a carriage to the local Sun Church. The Randall Valley has had the custom of worshiping the earth since ancient times. Therefore, the belief in the "Old Man with the Lamp", the **** of the sun and the earth, is dominant in the local area, and the church is also the largest, just like Midshine The natural church in Alborg is the largest.
The Church of the Sun is located in the east of the city center, only two small blocks away from the street where the Fertile Land Hotel, the Prophet Association and the City Hall are located.
Because the church area can restrain the deterioration of the petrified plague, in recent days, the church has purchased, requisitioned, and remodeled the buildings around the church. With the original Sun Church as the center, simple hospitals and treatment areas have been built and expanded around.
This long street, known as "St. Warren Street", had one-third of the buildings converted into temporary hospitals at this time. Therefore, there are people coming and going on the street at this time, the family members who come to visit the patients, the reporters who come to report the news, the idlers who have nothing to do to join in the fun, the small traders who come to do business because of the crowds, and other people of all kinds, etc. The whole street is filled.
Xia De happened to be curious about the petrified plague, so he looked around on the street and bought a bouquet of flowers from a little girl selling flowers, pretending that he came to visit the patient, and then randomly found one The open door went in.
Judging from the signboard, it seems that this place was originally a tobacco shop. At this time, all the sundries on the first floor were emptied, and a single room was separated by wooden boards and curtains for the patients to rest. Check the condition of the patients one by one.
Wails and groans are not very obvious, and the common feature of the people infected by the "Petrochemical Plague" is malaise. After all, this "plague" is actually a special curse in essence. For patients with weak mental strength, the curse does not only harm the body.
Now there are new cases every day, and those who are not seriously ill usually ask to recuperate at home or in the hospital, and relatives can go to the church to receive a glass of "potion" with a certificate. Patients with serious conditions will be sent directly to live here. However, according to the current increase in the number of patients infected by the petrified plague, no matter how many patients the Church of the Sun accepts, it will be a drop in the bucket.
Only by solving the problem at the source can the Randall Valley be restored to its original appearance.
Soft sobs and whispered prayers filled my ears, and the low mood infected everyone who came to visit with these voices. Although Xia De expected how bad the situation would be, when he really came here, he still wanted to sigh.
He walked up the stairs, passed by the medical students carrying a pot of hot water, and came to the second floor.
This place is also divided into different single rooms by wooden boards and curtains, and all the windows are opened to let in the not-so-bright sunlight amidst the stench and thick fog outside the windows. In the dim sunlight, the scene of the "ward" is even more tragic.
Xia De was at a loss for a while holding the flowers. He saw a little girl holding a storybook sitting on the bed at the back of the stairs against the wall, so he walked over with the flowers.
The little girl is slender, I don't know if she is malnourished, but judging by her appearance, she is about fourteen or fifteen years old. But the clothes she wears are fairly neat, and the church tends to arrange people with similar beliefs and habits together. Currently, this floor is occupied by female patients from wealthy middle-class families.
"hello."
Xia De greeted with a smile, then sat on the empty chair beside the bed, and put the flowers he bought on the street just now on the simple bedside table.
Children in their teens in this era already have a strong sense of defense, the little girl nodded vigilantly at Xia De, and then looked around. As long as Xia De dared to make any threatening moves, probably the entire floor would look over.
"Where did you get sick?"
"I can't feel my right leg."
The little girl said timidly, leaning her back against the wall, holding her storybook with both hands.
Xia De nodded:
"So, when did this happen?"
"At noon the day before yesterday, I suddenly fell while cleaning the living room, and then I couldn't feel my right leg."
Shad nodded again:
"Did you drink the potion given by the church?"
The potion distributed by the church is the diluent of the "universal earth elixir" provided by the witch, plus the diluted No. 5 holy water. This can suppress the deterioration of "Petrochemical Plague" to a certain extent, but it cannot be cured.
"Drink it, after drinking it, you can feel the heat in your right leg~www.mtlnovel.com~ The little girl continued, probably seeing that Xia De was just sitting there without any other movements, and she seemed to be really concerned about the condition, so she also Very politely asked:
"Sir, what are you doing here? Are you a doctor?" "Doctor?"
Xia De blinked:
"Yes, I am a doctor, but I am not a doctor who heals people, but a doctor who heals the earth."
The little girl didn't understand Xia De's words very well, and Xia De also asked:
"Why didn't you see your family with you? Although there are churches and police here to maintain order, it's too dangerous for you to read here alone."
The girl is holding "Fairy Tale Encyclopedia", this kind of storybook contains fairy tales that have been passed down for a long time, and it is one of the first reading materials that children come into contact with after they are literate. The girl shook her head:
"Miss Linna is here to accompany me, but she has gone shopping for food and will be back soon...she is mother, mother's maid."
It's 10:30 in the morning, and according to the habits of the locals, it's far from lunch time. Even if it is prepared in advance, it is too early.
"That's funny, why did you have to clean the living room the day before yesterday if your mother has a maid?"
Xia De asked again casually, the girl pursed her lips, opened her book and handed it to Xia De. Xia De glanced at it unexpectedly, and the story with illustrations on that page happened to be "The Princess on the Pumpkin Carriage".
