Whispering Poems

Chapter 1681 Witch's Blood
Hearing Xia De's words, Ms. Kaufman's smile froze. She didn't expect the man next to the wealthy businesswoman in front of her to speak so bluntly, and she didn't expect him to be from Kasenrick's side.

She exchanged a few words with Audrey before getting up to leave. In the conversation, she even revealed that Delarion intends to give the owner of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals a knighthood, as long as Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals can support some of Delarion's proposals.

Audrey didn't make a statement, but cooperated with Xia De to change the subject, sent her to the cabin door, and then sent her maid to send her ashore.

After the cruise ship sailed out of the pier in the rain, the brown-haired lady smiled and said to Xia De who was following her:
"About Kasenrick's acquaintance, did you say that on purpose just now?"

"Yes, it can be seen that you don't really want to get involved in the troubles of the two countries. So, let her know that the Kasenlik people have also begun to contact you, and they will treat you with a more cautious attitude. Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals The body is big enough, as long as you maintain a good balance and don't express your opinion casually, there will be no trouble for the time being."

Xia De said, the witch looked at him curiously:
"I'm getting more and more curious about what your real job is."

Shad thought for a moment:
"Next week, if I have a chance, I will tell you my real name and identity."

After all, Miss Galina is coming next week, so there is no need to hide it like this.

The witch was a little surprised, but a smile immediately appeared on her face:
"Okay, then I'll be looking forward to it. When an important guest arrives next week, I want to tell you something about me, too."

"Meow~"

While the two were talking, Mia's little furry head suddenly popped out from between the buttons on Xia De's chest, and after seeing the strange woman in front of her clearly under the gas light on the side wall of the cabin, she immediately sent a threatening slap to her. Call:
"Meow!"

"Eat right away, don't worry. And she is the one who gives us dinner, not the enemy."

Xia De stroked the little head to comfort him, while Audrey looked at the cat carefully:
"Is this your cat? It looks really nice and not as big as I thought. Does this cat eat a lot?"

"Yes, I've never seen Mia eat enough."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't eat much, but the frequency is a bit high.

"Then why did you choose a name like Mia?"

The two turned and walked to the depths of the cabin, Xia De said what he did not know how many times:

"Actually, this is not my cat. It is fostered by a lady whose name I cannot name. However, she gives me 10 pounds a month as the cost of keeping the cat, and she will send letters regularly to ask about the cat. In such a situation, I even asked me to take a photo with Mia and send it to her."

Xia De felt that the witch around him looked at him more and more strangely.

It was still raining outside so even if it was eating on the yacht, it was not possible to enjoy the view while eating on the deck.Audrey felt a little regretful about this, but Xia De felt that the warm and comfortable restaurant on the yacht was also very good.

It can be seen that the witch's maids have put a lot of thought into preparing this dinner.Golden candlesticks and spiced candles were placed on the square table, and steaming food was prepared in gold and silver vessels.It wasn't as extravagant as a formal banquet, but both Shad and Miya felt very satisfied, and Shad especially liked the fried silver cod fillet with red pepper sauce.

As a guest invited to the dinner, Xia De also brought a bottle of "blood brewed" red wine made from grapes as a gift in accordance with social etiquette.

"It's really good. This is the best red wine I've ever had. What winery is this from?"

Sure enough, the witch also expressed her appreciation for the liquid ruby-like liquid, and she looked at the wine glass against the light of the candle:

"Look at the color, I guess, there must be ring warlocks involved in the brewing process. This kind of superb skill, I am afraid that those who call themselves masters of potions will find it difficult to reproduce."

"This is something I made with a spell or a divine spell. It is related to a god related to 'wine'. But that great man has a bad temper. In this rainy day with dark nights and high winds, I will No specific explanation."

Xia De said very cautiously, and stopped Mia from scratching the clam shells on the table curiously.

The witch didn't guess that he was talking about evil gods:
"It seems that before you came to the Green Lake area, you had a lot of adventures. Who will be the old god related to wine?"

While speaking, he naturally put his right hand on the table, raised his forearm to support his slightly tilted head, and looked at the man and cat under the candlelight with his brown eyes.

The rain outside the boat was still so urgent, but she felt relieved at this moment.Megan's voice in her heart laughed at herself as if she was getting old and couldn't wait to find someone to rely on, but the witch herself laughed at another soul, they were one.

The warm yellow light made people a little sleepy, watching the interaction between the man and the cat across the square table, the witch actually felt a little drowsy.The light became blurred, and when the eyes closed a little bit, the light of the candle wick produced a strange light and shadow.

In the strange light and shadow of the light source, the people and cats on the opposite side of the table became more and more blurred.In the end, the figures of Xia De and the orange cat were completely melted in the glare, and in her illusion, she saw the wonderful pattern formed by the moon and the sun.

The pattern made the knowledge-seeking witch feel a long-lost obsession, as if it represented the ultimate answer to the world.But fortunately, years of mental laxity and soul damage made her skillfully realize that something was wrong with her.Trying to open her eyes and look at the "sun" again, it was clearly a young orange and white cat "staring" at her.

And with Mia's "meow~", the witch was taken aback, feeling as if she was being yelled at by something indescribable.She woke up suddenly from the drowsiness that seemed to be half asleep, and then realized that she had almost fallen asleep just now.

"Feel sorry."

She apologized for her gaffe, and at the same time, she felt hot all over, like a stream of fire circulating back and forth in her body.Holding the table knife in one hand and pressing the cat with the other, Xia De looked at her curiously with Mia, who had her head lowered, not knowing what was wrong with her.

"I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup."

After saying that, he got up and left, Xia De looked at her back suspiciously:

"What happened to her?"

[Although her mental state is better than when you first met her, but now it can only be regarded as less than one-fifth of her recovery. 】

"Is she exhausted too? She cast spells quite a lot throughout the day today."

Xia De thought to himself, patted and pawed his cat, and decided to end the final investigation as soon as possible after eating.

She said she was going to touch up her makeup, but Audrey came back soon, but her makeup didn't seem to have changed, it didn't look like she was doing it.Of course, Xia De was not stupid enough to ask.

After the witch sat down again, she handed over a small drop-shaped purple crystal bottle to her maid, and placed it in front of Xia De.

The bottle is made of crystal as a whole, but it has a silver metal base and a metal lid for threading a string. It looks very expensive. Xia De has only seen similar utensils in the cosmetic boxes of Rezia and Galina. .The liquid in the bottle is not easy to distinguish because of the color of the bottle itself.

Audrey said:
"This is my blood, don't you want it?"

Xia De looked at her in surprise:
"I want to identify whether there is any problem with your family's blood. However, you don't even know my real name. Are you really so relieved to give me your blood voluntarily?"

Xia De asked, the witch looked at him through the candlelight:
"You mean, you may be a liar who deceives women?"

"No, I'm sure not."

"I seldom trust others, but once I trust others, I won't doubt it. It's just two drops of blood, which is not a loss to me. It is used to finally confirm whether you are really worthy of my full trust. It couldn't be better."

Xia De understood what she meant, so he put away the bottle of blood, thinking of going to Midhill Castle for identification as soon as possible:

"I'm very happy to be able to accept such a trust test. How about I also leave some precious things as collateral?"

"Does that make any sense?"

Audrey asked, Xia De thought for a while:
"It doesn't make any sense, but I also want to show my sincerity."

He didn't say to keep his own blood, but reached into his pocket and took out the adamantine ore he got during the group mission last Thursday night:

"This one, although it's not very valuable, but if you want to find it in a hurry, it's not easy to find it."

The maid held the ore in front of the witch, who glanced in surprise:
"Orichalcum first, and then fine gold. Could it be that your main business is the ore business? You don't happen to have mithril, do you?"

Xia De was choked, and quickly explained:

"No, no, I'm not in the ore business."

After thinking about it, I added:

"But I do have shares in the gold mine. As for Mithril, I did have it some time ago, and it was quite large, but I gave some of it to a lady to repair her damaged jewelry, and some of it was used by me to strengthen myself Don’t look at me like that, yes, that lady is indeed not the ones I mentioned earlier, but I’m talking about a nun, a nun with an ascetic and indifferent personality.”

Xia De emphasized, the witch looked at him with a smile:
"It seems that you are really attractive to girls. Well, this piece of pure gold will stay with me temporarily, and I will return it to you after you give me the results of my blood analysis."

Xia De nodded, untied the napkin on his chest, and looked out of the window through the porthole:

"It's still raining, that's fine, it won't be easily discovered. It's getting late, shall we go?"

"Yes, it's getting late."

The witch felt a little regretful in her heart, but she also knew that the next thing could not be delayed:

"lets go."

The boat had been heading south during the meal, so when it was about to set off, it was clear that the boat had already sailed close to the entrance of Green Lake.

For such a dangerous activity in a while, of course Miya couldn't take it with her.It just so happened that Audrey decided that she and Shad would go together, and the others would not participate, so Shad wanted to entrust Little Mia to the maids on board to take care of.

After all, Mia was willing to let Tifa take care of her, so other maids in similar costumes would be fine too.But Xia De's idea was still too naive. When he tried to get Jill, the witch's maid, to hug the cat, the cat struggled desperately.

Xia De didn't know why the beautiful maid in front of him couldn't do it, or why all the maids on the whole ship couldn't do it.He could only attribute it to the fact that Miya was not familiar with these maids, so she had to turn the cat into a toy and put it back in her pocket.

"Your thaumaturgy can also transform living creatures?"

The witch who saw this scene was surprised.

"I can only transform creatures that have full trust in me. So far, apart from this domestic pet cat, I have not found a second living creature that can be transformed. I don't know whether this cat is easy to trust others , or too vigilant."

Xia De patted his pocket to confirm that he was ready, and made an invitation gesture to the witch at the hatch.
