"Speaking of which, there is one more thing this time. Shade, you said last time that your cat can turn into a doll and follow you through the gate of time."
After a short touch, the witch continued the topic.
"Yes."
Xia De nodded:
"It's probably because it's a little too simple."
"Meow~"
The cat squirmed on its lap, trying to find a more comfortable position.
"So I have new ideas."
Miss Galina stretched out her hand to Tifa, and Tifa took out a dark brown glass wine bottle that Shade was familiar with from the pocket of her long skirt, and inside the bottle was a pure white wine bottle smaller than Mia. white cat.
The stranger narrowed his eyes:
"It looks familiar..."
"I was very lucky. Some time ago, I bought a bottle of potion that was sold on the local black market - a semi-finished product of [Cat in a Bottle]. This potion expired for thirty years, and the seller said that it It was once polluted, but it was purified by people. But it doesn't matter, there are potions masters in the council. I gave one-sixth of the finished potion to the black market peddler, and got it at a price that was almost free."
The witch's white hand slightly shook the wine bottle in her hand, and the white cat "sleeping" in the wine bottle immediately melted into liquid in the bottle. Xia De is now basically sure that this is the bottle of potion that Priest Augustus once showed him. (Note)
Unexpectedly, after going around, this thing appeared in front of his eyes again.
"Miss Galina, do you want to..."
Xia De has basically understood.
"Now this bottle of precious potion can basically be used. But because the expiration time itself is too long, the efficacy of the medicine is greatly reduced, and it can only last for less than three minutes. I want to try it out."
She uncorked the bottle and looked at Xia De, Xia De praised:
"You really have an idea."
"Yes, I want to experiment, if a person who already has deep trust in you turns into a cat, can he be affected by your spell. If so, I will find other ways to turn people into animals. "
It does sound feasible, but it involves the degree of psychic changes when the body is deformed, which is a relatively high-end content of metamorphosis, so careful experiments are required:
"Miss Galina, do you want to drink by yourself?"
"Of course not, my level is too high, and the effect of the potion on me is very poor."
She uncorked the wine bottle and handed it to Tifa behind her. Tifa shook the wine bottle again, turned the liquid that had gradually solidified into a half-cat shape, and then drank the white cat's melted liquid without hesitation.
Xia De opened his mouth slightly to express surprise, and Mia's eyes widened in horror, but unfortunately no one noticed it.
After drinking the liquid, the bottle in Tifa's hand suddenly fell, and she covered her mouth in pain.
"What's wrong?"
Galina stood up and wanted to support her, but Tifa shook her head in pain:
"Miss, I feel so hot..."
The body seemed to be unable to bear the pain, so it slowly squatted down and disappeared behind the sofa. Rao, who is a witch who has seen the world, also looked at the back of the sofa with a surprised expression.
Xia De had already stood up at this time, carried Mia around the coffee table, and came to the back of the sofa where Miss Galina was sitting.
The black-haired maid was no longer there, and skirts, white stockings, shoes, hair accessories, garters, and underwear were scattered on the floor. And a pure white cat was huddled on those clothes in a daze.
It wanted to stand up, but the four short legs seemed to be unable to support the body, so it wobbled down again.
"Meow~meow~"
He opened his mouth slightly, but what came out was the meow of a cat. The small white cat looked at the surprised Xia De in confusion:
"This cat...is really beautiful. Oh, it's really turned into a cat."
"So what do you think will happen?"
The witch, relieved, asked.
"Become half man, half cat..."
For some reason, I suddenly thought of my friend Professor Manning.
"Meow?"
Mia on Shade's shoulders didn't appreciate the beauty of this "Tifa cat" as much as Xia De did. It was blowing fur, and uttered a threatening cry at the Tifa cat on the clothes that had never been seen before.
Obviously, Mia felt that her status in this family was seriously threatened.
Mia kept baring her teeth and claws, so Shade moved it from his shoulder to his pocket. Only then did he bend down and pick up Tifa the cat from the pile of clothes, then circled back to the front of the sofa, and sat back in its original position again.
Miss Galina looks very curious, Mia
While Xia De sat down, he fled from his pocket to the sofa. Seeing Xia De holding the white kitten, it continued to frizz and growl.
Xia De reached out and touched Mia twice, and while her voice was weakening, he picked up the towel that had been prepared from the side, and covered the pure white Tifa cat who was still trying to stand up on four legs.
The cat, probably smaller than Mia, was wriggling under the towel. After a few seconds, Xia De frowned and brought the towel, the cat is still a cat:
"like water off a duck's back."
"It is also expected. If it is so simple and successful, I will be surprised."
The red-haired witch said, and then motioned for Xia De to hand her the white cat.
The newly-appeared white cat Tifa and Shade's orange-white cat Mia are both in the shape of kittens. But I don't know if it's because of the potion, Tifa cat's body temperature is higher and softer. But this is someone else's "cat", so Xia De passed the cat over.
Because there are also cats in her manor, Miss Galina put the little white cat on her lap and stroked it in a very familiar way:
"It's the first time I've touched you like this."
She joked to the cat.
Seeing that the cat was taken away by others, Mia returned to her original state a little bit. It jumped onto Xia De's lap, and even patted the place where the white cat lay down just now with its paws, and then lay down again, with its small head resting on Xia De's leg, and looked at the cat being hugged across the coffee table.
And the white kitten, who was still in a daze, didn't notice the hostility he suffered at all.
"In short, you can use this key from 3014 next time. If it has nothing to do with Miss Fei Lianna, please let me know, and I will try to find another key."
"Okay, let's use it in the early hours of Sunday."
Shad said.
In fact, according to the time, a new key can be opened on Saturday afternoon. But he also wanted to take a break for himself, he was not as anxious about everything as he was when he first came to this world.
"Also."
Miss Galina nodded, seeing Xia De staring at Tifa Cat, she asked curiously:
"Is there something wrong with this cat?"
"I just want to remind you that there are still one minute and three seconds until three minutes. Because the duration of the potion varies from person to person, you'd better take Tifa to the bedroom as soon as possible."
Xia De's gaze moved out of the window. Although it was still foggy today, the early autumn morning sunlight was still strong, and he could even see the dust falling in the sunlight:
"After all, when a cat returns to an adult, it doesn't wear clothes... The extraordinary system in this world really makes sense. Summoning a skeleton horse won't show harnesses, and the transfiguration technique doesn't include clothes."
"Knight, you are really a gentleman."
The Duchess holding the cat commented that she was playing with Tifa's tail, thinking of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Nothing interesting happened today. Miss Galina stayed here all day at Shard, copying Miss Filianna's notebook in the study herself. She knew the characters of the Fifth Era, so she could transcribe them smoothly.
As for Tifa, after successfully transforming back into her human form, she changed back into her clothes in Shad's bedroom. After she came back from the bedroom with her head bowed and her face flushed and she pulled the skirt, she didn't speak to Miss Galina until she greeted the chef who was invited from the high-end restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue and brought the ingredients to cook lunch here.
Of course it was inappropriate for a maid to treat her master like this, but Xia De could also understand that the brunette seemed very angry at Miss Galina playing with "her" tail.
"Is there anything weird about a cat's tail?"
Xia De touched Mia's tail and flicked it. The cat glanced at Xia De and saw that he did not intend to move the two rings on the tail, so he lay down next to him again to enjoy the peace of the afternoon.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Miss Galina, who was very fast, finished copying the notebook. She discussed with Xia De again, and there was a blank space in the notebook, and she looked at Xia De's house while talking:
"You live in such a big house by yourself, are you too tired to clean it? Also, you don't do your own laundry, do you?"
She saw the clothes hanging on Xia De's balcony in the morning:
"How about this, I will send maids to help you clean the house and wash your clothes every week. Young gentleman like you, you have to make yourself decent. You used to only use a room on the second floor, but now it's different Now, Xia De, instead of hiring a housewife who doesn’t know where, I’d rather send a trustworthy servant to help you.”
Her proposal is quite good~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although Xia De is a little embarrassed, but even if some rooms are not used, they have to sweep and mop the floor every week, and clean the glass every three to five times, which is indeed very troublesome. Besides, when he was washing clothes a few days ago, he thought about hiring someone to do these housework, so he nodded in agreement.
try to find
He came to the house with a spare key and gave it to the black-haired maid who was in charge of this matter, and agreed that every Saturday afternoon, he could send a servant from the Duchess' manor to clean it, and he would put the clothes to be washed in advance. Go to the water basin, lock the door that does not allow entry, and leave a note explaining where to focus on cleaning.
Saturday was chosen because he was not at home on Saturday afternoon and cleaning would not bother him.
As for safety issues, Xia De is not worried at all. His secrets are all hidden behind the hidden walls in the basement. As long as the study on the second floor is locked, the most valuable thing in the house is actually the furniture. But except for what was left by Detective Sparrow, most of the furniture in No. 6, Place Sainte-Terraine was moved from Miss Galina's estate, and Xia De was not worried about theft.
"However, in this way, when I go to the doctor every Saturday, I need to take Mia with me."
He stood on the edge of the Place Saint Teresa as night fell, waving goodbye to the departing convoy.
When I turned around and was about to go home, I happened to bump into the neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Smith who were coming back from walking their dogs. The old gentleman who used to be the department secretary in the kingdom's financial department obviously knew Miss Galina's motorcade.
He nodded cautiously at Xia De, and said with a sigh:
"Young people today are really amazing."
Xia De took it as a compliment to himself.
