Because the deserted manor outside the city is relatively far away, even if he travels home through space, it will already be noon when Xia De arrives home.
He calculated that the "holy grail", "crown", "philosopher's stone" and "heart" have been perfectly prepared, leaving only the "inexhaustible fountain of fine wine" as a reluctant correspondence. After all, although the relic [Bottle of Dionysus] can flow out inexhaustible wine, it is not a fountain.
So while going out for lunch, Xia De went to Old John's **** shop again with Mia in his arms.
Old John expressed surprise at Shade's second appearance today, but when he heard that Shade was looking for a nozzle that "can spray out the liquid in the wine bottle like a fountain", he looked at him with strange eyes After a look at Shad:
"Should there be a girl with a particularly good relationship with you?" "Of course, why ask this?"
"Haven't you seen the pressurized nozzles on girls' perfume bottles? Or liquefied nozzles. Purely mechanical structure, by changing the pressure, the liquid is pressurized and ejected. The steam pressurized spray gun of the city's municipal fire department The structure of the gun head is also similar.”
Old John shook his head:
"Detective, detective, although we are ring magicians, we must not forget the era we live in, and don't blindly seek to solve everything with extraordinary power."
"That's not what I want, it's a continuous spray of liquid, and it's used on relics.
Xia De introduced his own wine bottle. Unexpectedly, Old John had heard of that relic:
"That thing is actually in your hand?"
He widened his eyes, as if he suddenly knew that Xia De was the "God Caller":
"Even if you bid 10,000 pounds, someone is willing to buy this famous relic. "Papa John, don't be joking, this is just a poet-level relic." Xia De said with a smile, but the old man behind the counter was very serious :
"It's really ignorant. This truly endless wine bottle allows users to pour out any wine they have tasted. For those alcoholic alcoholics, you can't imagine how much temptation this is. And it is Because it is a poet class, its danger is quite low, so it is more valuable. If the danger is high, no one will care.”
"No, I'm not selling it, I'm going to give it to a lady.
Seeing that the old man really wanted to discuss this business, Xia De hastily shook his head and refused.
"Tsk, no wonder."
The old man is very sorry:
"You want to turn it into a fountain? Because the whisper element will affect the effect of alchemy items, so I can only give you a nozzle that can work for two hours. I want to warn you, modifying the relic casually will increase the loss of control of the relic possible."
This is also one of the common senses of ring warlocks, and it will be mentioned in the first-year courses of the three colleges. After all, the best way to "use" a relic is "contain".
"I know, I just use ten seconds to show the effect."
Papa John also knew that Shade had always been cautious, so he gave him the brass nozzle. This thing was originally used to pump groundwater through pipes to replenish water sources during field adventures, so Old John was able to take it out in one go.
Thus, Miss Galina's commission was completed in such a simple manner, and the time was not even two o'clock in the afternoon.
Since Tifa had said that it was best to go early, Xia De didn't waste any time. From the gate of the **** shop, he carried the cat, who had had a full lunch and a nap, into the carriage, and set off directly to the outside of the city.
Probably because he arrived too early, when Xia De paid the fare at the gate of Miss Galina's manor, and then waved to the young yellow-haired maid who was cleaning the courtyard behind the closed fence gate, the following The visitor actually seemed to have seen something incredible, dropped the broom, held up the hem of the skirt, and ran quickly towards the manor house.
"Do I look scary?"
Xia De thought suspiciously, then looked down at the cat in his arms: "Or, Mia is scary?"
I thought that someone would come to open the fence gate soon, but Xia De stood in the cold wind in the early spring afternoon for ten minutes before he finally saw that he was wearing a shelter from the wind.
Tifa in the cloak led a group of maids hurriedly along the trail along the central axis of Mayuan.
The maid, who has always been very kind to Xia De, had a rare angry expression on her face when she came to the door. Looking up at Xia De with black eyes, he said as if questioning:
"Xia De, how can you give up so early? Try a little more, can't you come back in the evening? For Miss, can't you try your limit?"
"What give up?"
Xia De asked hesitantly, seeing his innocent face, Tifa blinked and took a step back. The head maid, who has always been capable and elegant, showed a rare expression of hesitation:
"So, I commissioned you to complete it?" "Yes."
Xia De nodded and patted his chest: "So I came over after lunch."
"You still have time for lunch"
An even more inconceivable expression appeared on Tifa's face, and then she lowered her head to admit her mistake, because the speed of lowering her head was so fast that the hair behind her swayed:
"Sorry, I just..."
Shad said, so the maid behind Tifa opened the gate, and the black-haired maid took off her cloak and gave it to Shad, and the group walked towards the mansion:
"I made you wait so long because the manor is still preparing. We didn't expect you to come so soon."
"what to prepare?"
"Well...you'll find out soon."
After entering the room, Xia De still didn't find any unique arrangement here. The floor is still so clean, and the light in the room is still so bright.
Xia De originally thought of going to see Miss Galina directly to complete this strange but simple commission. But the maids blocked Shad together, and Tifa grabbed Shad's sleeve directly, not giving him a chance to go upstairs.
The girls chattered and led Xia De to the restaurant on the side of the first floor. Of course, this is not the restaurant where the masters of the manor dine, but the restaurant where the maids dine.
They pushed Shad into it, then closed the door and blocked the way out.
The girls in standard black and white maid skirts all looked at him, and the leader Tifa asked:
"Before you go to see the lady, detective, please prove that you have completed the commission. It's not that we don't trust you, but the noble duchess is not something you can see if you want to."
What she said was indeed reasonable, so Xia De first put the cat, which was unusually soft after falling asleep, on the dining table, and then took something out of his pocket:
"crown."
The toy crown was removed and then restored to the real one. Xia De casually handed it to the young maid with long black curly hair whom she always saw every time she came. This is Miss Martha, who also followed Miss Galina to the Randall Valley.
After getting the crown, the young maid was at a loss and hurriedly stuffed it to another girl beside her. Until it was passed to Tifa. The latter looked at it and nodded hesitantly:
"no problem."
"Then the Holy Grail, the Endless Fountain of Wine, and the Philosopher's Stone."
The Holy Grail and wine bottle were placed on the table by Shad, and the nozzle was placed on the wine bottle to demonstrate the effect. The Philosopher's Stone that he took out last was hung on his chest and embedded in the silver jewelry.
He took the small stone with scarlet light out of his arms, but did not untie the rope. The stone actually shone in the light, and the girls in the dining room held their breaths, the relic had a strange quality that would attract anyone to usurp it.
"As for the fifth treasure, which is my heart, I want to bring it to Miss Galina face to face."
Xia De said, hugging the cat sniffing the wine bottle in a daze to prevent it from getting drunk:
"Is that all right?"
So the young girls all looked at Tifa, who nodded as if she had made some kind of determination: "Yes, but we have to take these things for identification, so you still can't go to see the Duke for the time being.
Xia De heard that they wanted to delay themselves no matter what, so he didn't object:
"No problem, but when will we wait? Since I can't go upstairs, can you find me an empty room? I have a few books with me, and I can write a book report after I finish reading."
Xia De, who is in the fourth grade, did not fall behind in his studies.
"Detective, it's wrong to neglect a guest like you. This is not the etiquette of the duke's manor." Tifa shook her head, and exchanged glances with the two duke's personal maids:
"You have been standing outside for so long, in order to prevent the cold from getting caught, why don't you take a hot bath first? There is a special bath in the manor, you will like it."
Of course Xia De knew that there was a bath here, and that bath could even be called a hot spring, even swimming in it was enough.
"You'd better be able to wash until four o'clock in the afternoon."
The black-haired maid added, Xia De calculated the time, and it is only past two o'clock, which is enough for him to sleep.
But since it was the request of the client, he did not object. So he followed the maids, as if being watched by them, to the large bathroom on the side of the first floor.
As for Mia, this cat would definitely not go with that wet environment, so Tifa arranged for a special maid to watch over it to prevent it from getting lost accidentally.
The water in the bath was actually hot, and the brass steam pipes were laid in circles on the walls of the bathroom and extended into the floor. At the end of the pipe is the side wall of the bath, and more than a dozen faucets in the shape of roses are slightly above the water. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com While the pipes transport hot water, the heat emitted by the pipes also makes the water vapor in the room heavier. It all looks like it was prepared in advance, but a hot tub is a great way to unwind in this weather.
"Luxury enjoyment, it's nice to have money""
Xia De changed his clothes, declined the help of the maids, entered the bath alone, leaned against the edge of the bath after entering the water, closed his eyes as a rest, and thought about what Miss Galina wanted to do.
However, after a while, there were quite clear footsteps behind him. Because Xia De closed his eyes, the thaumaturgy [Heart of Stone] made him quite clear, almost "seeing" the beating ripples in the dark, which were the traces of the beating heart. Judging from the frequency, the heartbeat of the girl who entered the door was obviously too fast.
"Who is it? Oh, I really don't need help, please let me be quiet"
Xia De turned back and said, and then turned his head suddenly, as if seeing some evil spirit: "Tifa, what are you doing?"
She didn't answer Xia De, but the sound of the soles of her feet touching the wet ground was getting closer and closer. Until, that figure stood behind Xia De.
