Chapter 1422 Chips and potions

In any case, at least for now, no one can see the guardians, so it is impossible to judge what is going on with them now.

And after seeing Sister Divelin that night, Xia De finally received the document sent by Miss Daniste at the Harvest Land Hotel.That document is about some rumors and inaccurate history about the early days of St. Byrence.

Xia De took the documents back home to check. After learning the magic of [Soul Whiplash], he arranged the handwritten or photocopied documents one by one under the gas lamp on the desk.

In fact, although those materials are very thick, they can only be regarded as three copies in total.

The two handwritten copies were discovered by Principal Pigman in recent years, part of the notes left by a certain witch principal in the last era, and part of the content handwritten from the principal's memo.What was photographed with the camera was part of a huge stele that Miss Denist did not indicate the source of.

The three documents together indicated that the current location of the college did indeed come from the territory of a certain old god in the fifth era.As for the transaction conditions given by Miss Mana Filianna, the three documents have completely different answers.

According to the notes of the unknown witch principal, the original founders used an interesting story to win the favor of the God of the Night, and thus obtained the land;

It is recorded in the old principal's memo that the real bargaining chips offered by the founders come from the ancient gods of the first era, which is a treasure that even the old gods cannot refuse;
As for the stele, it records that the founders did not take out chips, but released some amazing ancient beasts, forcing the God of Night to give up a small part of his territory.

Of course, Shad thinks that among "interesting stories", "treasures of the first age" and "ancient beasts", the latter is the least likely.It has been nearly a year since he came to this world, so he naturally knows what the gods represent, so he doesn't believe that the god of night [The Curtain of Eternal Night] will be frightened by some ancient evil beast.

Besides, Miss Fei Lianna and Miss Olan Nord don't seem to be the ones who will release ancient evil beasts.

"So, what Fiona forgot is most likely the treasure of the first era. An interesting story, more like a bargaining chip I raised."

Shad guessed.

Because the decisive battle in Randall Valley is likely to be this week, for the precious 40-minute rest time, on Monday, Shad did not use the time key of 3028 for the last time.However, he did remember to open the [God's Gift Box] to get this week's gift.

Last week I got an ivory comb, but this week it turned out to be a very beautiful white ceramic teacup, which even has pictures of cats of various colors playing on it.Although it was just an ordinary item, Xia De liked this teacup very much, so he planned to keep it for his own use.And this week's task is to learn how to brew black tea and pour tea for people older than me.

This is quite easy, beside Xia De, there are only a few friends who are younger than his body.

Because it was already the third day of the month of the wind, Xia De did not rush to Randall Valley, but spent the morning in the city to deal with private affairs at the beginning of each month.

After returning home with Mia, who had had a full lunch, at noon, he headed to the southern city.When I walked out of the Church of the Forgotten, I found that the atmosphere in the city was even more tense than the previous two days.After arriving at the Wilde Opera House, I heard from Ms. Lassers that around the early morning of this morning, another small-scale earthquake occurred in the east of the city.

Although the direct impact of the earthquake was only to crack the walls of several houses, after the earthquake ended, a fire spread from the residential area to all directions, and the fire was not completely extinguished until this morning.

"Look over there."

Miss Lathers stood by the window and pointed towards the east of the city:
"See that smoke over there?"

The city was already foggy, so it was very difficult for Xia De to see the black smoke floating into the sky in the distance:

"I thought it was the smoke from the chimney of the steam factory in the east of the city."

"It's the smoke and dust after burning. This fire killed at least 100 people"

The fair-haired young girl was the only one who, of all people, was truly from Randall's Valley, and the only one where her hometown was really here.

Miss Aurora and Miss Benanis are going out of the city to check the situation outside the city at this time, while Miss Silvia and Miss Galina are in Miss Bernanis' manor together.So after leaving the Wilde Opera House, Shade went to the manor again.

As soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I saw Tifa and the old witch's apprentice, Miss Rita Swift with beautiful flaxen hair, talking and laughing, leading a team of maids, pushing the dining cart with teacups, towards the corridor Go around the corner on the right.

Seeing Shad appear, the black-haired maid greeted him warmly, while Miss Swift was a little reserved, not at all like the way she kissed Shad at the end of last year's festival.

Miss Silvia and Miss Galina are in the basement, and the maids are about to bring them afternoon tea and snacks.

When Xia De saw the two great witches, they were expressing their views on a bottle of yellow-brown liquid in the potion workshop in the basement.

"Those fallen earth elementals are quite troublesome. Miss Swift brought Granny Cassandra's potion formula 'mud potion', which can turn solid stone into mud, similar to the spell 'fossil But if you are willing to spend money and add some expensive catalysts and enhancers, you can also exert an effect not inferior to that of spells."

The Duchess of the Northern Kingdom said that she was wearing a long black skirt today, with long boots on her feet, a black leather coat over a white blouse on her upper body, but the coat was not buttoned up. This is the first time Shade has seen such an outfit. It is probably because there is no "duchess" here, only "big witch".

"We tried to concoct the potion, but the color and luster of the finished product was different from what Granny Cassandra said."

Miss Sylvia said with some trouble, and then handed the potion to Miss Swift, asking her to check it:
"Grandma's potion brewing skills are quite strong, and we still have a lot to learn."

And Miss Swift, has uncorked the bottle and sniffed the smell inside:

"The taste is fine. If it's just a different color, I don't think it will have much effect on the effect."

"Why don't you try it."

So Miss Galina suggested, and Xia De was a little surprised:

"Try it? Now go out of town and find a monster?"

"No no, there are already."

Miss Silvia smiled and said:

"In order to study the local monsters, Benanis went out of the city last night and caught one and put it in the basement."

With that said, the group left the potion workshop and walked deeper into the basement.

On Saturday night, when Miss Sylvia opened the portal, there was a huge piece of solid ice.The surface of the solid ice was engraved with ancient golden seal runes, while inside the solid ice were monsters that Shad was quite familiar with.

Miss Galina waved her hand to Tifa, and then the black-haired maid lady led the other maids around her to release flames and melt the symbols on the icy surface.

When the seal was almost destroyed, the maids retreated to Xia De. Miss Galina glanced at Xia De again, and Xia De waved forward casually:
"Moonlight Slash."

The silvery moonlight split deep cracks in the solid ice, and then there was a clear cracking sound from inside the ice.As the crack continued to expand, and finally with a roar, the ice burst, and the fallen earth elemental genie was free.

Unfortunately, this freedom is only for a second:

"Spider web technique."

Miss Sylvia's lazy voice came. It was clearly one of the basic spells, the spider web spell, but after she used it in her hand, it didn't shoot out the white spider silk as thick as a cable like the normal effect.

Xia De was keenly aware of the abnormality in the space, and then three octopus spiders, which were almost completely transparent and the size of a human head, appeared from the void, and almost instantly weaved into a large transparent web connected in the space, trapping the earth elemental giant. in it.

Because of the power of space, the effect of Miss Silvia's "spider web technique" is even better.Although the head of the trapped monster can still move slightly, the rest of the body is completely still like a specimen.

"Enlightenment - [weaving] the effect of the spirit rune."

The young witch responded reservedly to Xia De's doubts, while Miss Galina reminded:
"Xia De didn't ask at all."

As he spoke, he motioned for Miss Swift to come forward.So the flaxen-haired girl took the bottle of potion closer, and then threw the potion bottle at the chest of the elemental giant.

The bottle shattered against the monster's body, and the liquid splashed out and adhered to the stone surface.As the potion glowed faintly, the rustling sound of corrosion appeared together with the white smoke.The monster's chest collapsed inward at a speed visible to the naked eye. After waiting for half a minute, because the damage exceeded the threshold, the fallen elemental genie collapsed into a pile of black under the eyes of the crowd with a sound almost lamenting. gravel.

"Is this the foundation rock? It's the first time I've seen it."

Miss Sylvia picked up the stones with great interest, while Miss Galina talked with Miss Swift about the effect of the potion.As for Tifa, she led the other maids to sweep away the broken ice and stones, so that the owner of the manor would not complain about it.

"For ordinary elemental genies, this potion is enough. This time, the speaker approved an additional operation fund for us, so we don't have to worry about the cost. We can even sell a batch to the Orthodox Church, and they will be very happy." Willing to buy."

Miss Galina seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing Miss Sylvia walking over with the selected stones, she asked her again:
"You came earlier than me, do you know how far the relationship between Xia De and Benanis has developed?"
