"Trust me, never drink too fast."
Seeing that Miss Galina took the water glass, Xia De, who had learned a lesson, kindly reminded her. The Duchess glanced at him suspiciously, then took two sips from the cup, and as she swallowed, the throat on her fair neck squirmed slightly.
She followed Xia De's suggestion and only took three sips before closing her eyes. After half a minute, the cup was placed on the coffee table:
"There are some effects."
Other than that, there is no evaluation. Although it seems to be effective, the effect is not obvious.
Xia De also stopped mentioning the matter of helping with the treatment. After taking out the jewelry box containing the necklace, he talked about what happened in the ruins last night.
The key information was omitted during the fight, and only the final result was mentioned, but he still talked about the [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace] suddenly glowing when he was picked up by the vampire's neck.
"There are two things wrong. First, I did have direct contact with him at the time, but I didn't have a serious allergy. Second, why is the necklace glowing? Does this necklace still have this effect?"
The black-haired maid took out the necklace from the jewelry box and put it on for Miss Galina. The Duchess was not surprised by this:
"This necklace gives the wearer the negative characteristics of an enlarged version of the witch's curse, which is useless to the witch itself. Otherwise, the necklace that protects the witch itself will only aggravate our curse, isn't it ridiculous?"
"It's useless to the witch herself, then I..."
Xia De thought only of himself in surprise, and said in his heart:
"You still say you're not..."
[Listen. 】
"You are definitely not a witch. The witch's response to the same kind is more sensitive than to men. My guess for you now is that your gender is conceptually vague. It can be male, female, or Witch, so the Witch Curse, the **** potion, and this necklace, all react wonderfully to you."
said the Duchess.
"No, no, I must be a man."
I added "God said" in my heart, then shook my head, not wanting to discuss this topic:
"Then what is that golden light?"
"Of course it's the thaumaturgy I left on the necklace to protect you. Otherwise, why did I ask you not to lend the necklace to others? Is it just because I don't want others to touch my jewelry? Of course it's not only that. I While protecting you, the thaumaturgy will have an effect on anyone else, after all, I can't let it accurately determine who touched the necklace."
Miss Galina said, seeing that Xia De wanted to thank him, so that he didn't have to speak:
"I have provided you with so much help because your action this time is valuable. So, have you brought what I want?"
"Of course they did."
In front of the two ladies, Xia De used a handkerchief to restore the corpses of the silver-eyed man and the blood-sucking species hanging around his waist, and pointed out their identities:
"The one without a head is the one with silver pupils, whose head has been vaporized. The one who can't see the original appearance is a vampire, and the one who has been blooded by mercury becomes Mr. Medis, who comes from [Blood Spirit School]. Although the body is not complete, but...…”
Miss Galina sat up straight, her face flushed from excitement:
"Vampire? Medix? Oh, I think I know who it is. Works, works."
She didn't care that Xia De threw the body on the floor of the study, but took the gloves from the maid, bent down and stretched out her hand to check the body:
"You said he was originally active near Tobesk? In this way, the two [Blood Spirit School] members who came to this city from the New World, although they have already disembarked at Lengshui Port, probably will not continue to proceed as planned Yes. But with this corpse, I can also communicate with the council, very good, detective, very good. This vampire is an important member of the [Blood Spirit School], which is too valuable."
For the first time today, she smiled. Then she took the letter from the vampire from Xia De, and she couldn't decipher the ciphertext for the time being, but the Witch Council has a way to understand the contents of the letter:
"I've gained more than I thought. It seems that I'm right to lend you this necklace. In this way, maybe I can get information about the 'delivery room' directly from this vampire. That's great. Detective, you're really good. , Of course, my vision is really good."
Afterwards, she heard about the relics Xia De obtained from the enemy, the blood-stained scissors and the small bottle of mercury. She didn't know what it was, but she knew the fangs in the vampire's mouth:
"The clerical-level relic [Vampire Tooth], that tooth is one of the tokens of the blood-sucking race. It can be implanted into the body and used. For the blood-sucking race, it can strengthen its own racial talent. For other creatures, it can allow users to obtain part of the blood-sucking species The ability. This fang is said to be related to an old god. If the fang is implanted in the body, not only will you suffer from fear of sunlight and hemophagocytosis, but may even be affected by the power left by the old **** in the world. Detective, Sell this fang to me. The corpse of the silver-eyed man was originally promised to me, but you gave me the corpse of the blood-sucking species. Add up the fang, the letter and the corpse, and I will give you... "
She took a look at Xia De's clothes. Xia De didn't have many coats. Apart from the symptoms, he seemed to wear this outfit every time he saw Miss Galina:
"1,200 pounds? This figure should be enough."
"Oh yes, enough. You are generous."
"It's you who deserve the value."
[Vampire Fang] Neither Xia De nor the two ladies can use this relic that needs to be implanted into the body, so it is most suitable to sell it to Miss Galina. He knew that the price of 1,200 pounds was actually too high, because the corpses, relics, and letters were of great significance to the [Witch Council], so the Duchess was so generous...or maybe she has always been generous.
"I don't care about other things in the ruins. Whether it's the [Original Balance] you mentioned, or the relics of the old church that you are going to hand over to the church, these are all handled by you. I am very satisfied with you, detective, very satisfied......"
She suddenly coughed violently, and the maid patted her back worriedly. For a long time, the Duchess raised her head, brushed her red hair covering her eyes and continued to speak:
She pointed to the red velvet ring box on the coffee table, which opened automatically with a snap. The familiar pebble ring is lying in the ring box, which is the beginning of Xia De's contact with the extraordinary.
"Detective, look carefully."
In front of Xia De, the Duchess picked up the ring, and then slowly approached her right index finger. The three of them didn't speak, but they all saw that as the ring approached the witch's finger, cracks appeared on the surface of the cobblestone. When the ring was almost inserted into the finger, the pebbles on the ring were almost split in two.
Sighing, she took the ring away, and the crack on the cobblestone slowly healed.
"Look, I can't use this relic, it would rather self-destruct than wear it on my hand. Detective, I promised you that if you bring me the [Transformation Ring], I can tell you all about the Council But the arrival of this ring is because I planned the plan and you carried out the plan, so, for the time being, I can only tell you a secret about the council."
"Please say."
Xia De looked at the ring curiously, and then at her curiously.
"The thirteen great witches of the council do have both the witch system of the fifth era and the extraordinary system of ring magicians of the sixth era. We are witches living in the sixth era, although we are different from the witches of the fifth era. But it is still a witch. The existence of the council does not mean that the witches live in groups. The council has two common goals."
Pausing for a while to signal Xia De to pay attention, although she only told Xia De a secret, this time the Duchess is determined to give Xia De the greatest trust, because he has shown value:
"First, find the chosen one predicted in "Whispering Verses", which I will discuss with you in detail later. The other goal is to find a way to use the power of this era to decipher the power of our body without declining our own power. Curse. Like the 'delivery of creation', like this ring..."
The Duchess took a look at [Metamorphosis Ring]:
"This is just a small attempt, and it really won't be that easy."
She suddenly laughed again, her complexion looked more and more healthy, her dark golden eyes met Xia De, and her tone suddenly became extremely soothing:
"Detective, do you want to try this ring? You suspected that you were a witch just now, don't you have a chance to prove it now?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows, and brought the ring close to his finger, but there was no reaction:
"Look, I am indeed a man."
While heaving a sigh of relief, Xia De directly put the ring back into the ring box on the coffee table, and Miss Galina raised her eyebrows:
"I mean, put on the ring, chant the incantation 'the transformation of positive and negative is the beginning of a new life', and see what happens. I'm curious, a man like you who won't trigger the witch's curse, Is it the same as us, and can't use similar relics."
"No, sorry, I won't use it."
Xia De shook his head and refused, this is a matter of principle, he will not become a woman.
"Try it, and I'll pay you. Like... a kiss?"
She tilted her head jokingly.
"No, not for any reward."
Xia De continued to shake his head, not only because of the negative characteristics of the ring, but also because the two consecutive owners of the ring had died unexpectedly, and because he had a psychological barrier, he would never become a woman.
I thought that Miss Galina would give more tempting conditions, or force herself to wear the ring, but she didn't expect the other party to stop there.
The Duchess said regretfully:
"That's it... that's fine. But this ring is useless to me. Although Tifa is not a real witch, I don't want her to become a man. The [Transformation Ring] belongs to you. Detective, as your reward for showing me you care."
This move of retreating into advance is very powerful. Although Xia De can't use [Metamorphosis Ring], he won't refuse to save it temporarily. And this ring is strictly a stolen item. Not to mention selling it locally, even if you go to Lengshuigang City to sell it, it is very likely that it will be caught by the Orthodox Church who is now determined to catch all the heretics. And the college that sells it to the church to exchange information must explain the origin of the ring, and then the witch will be involved.
Miss Galina probably kept the ring in Shad's hand for a long time, and he might use his idea.
The witch didn't want to hide her thoughts, but rather curiously waited for Xia De's decision. Xia De pursed his lips and considered, his fingers on his knees trembled, his face was tangled, but finally he bent down and took the ring box on the coffee table into his hand.
After all, this ring is really valuable.
"Thank you for your generosity, I accepted the ring...but I don't know how to use it, after half a year the limelight subsides, I will sell it~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia De emphasized again, see him With this look, even the black-haired maid standing behind Miss Galina smiled.
"Detective, I didn't say you would use it."
The Duchess joked, and the smile of the maid behind her became more obvious:
"But remember, if you accidentally use it by accident, remember to tell me if it works for you. Regardless of the result, I will give you a...experiment fee, I like this kind of saying."
"No, I won't use it."
Xia De emphasized again, and then put the ring box safely into his pocket.
"I trust you."
The Duchess is in a good mood now.
[I believe in you too. 】
There was also a smile in the murmur in the ear.
