The Whispering Verses Chapter 1445: Everyone’s preparation
Chapter 1445 Everyone’s Preparations
"You really don't need me to accompany you to Oxenfurt Manor tonight?"
Luvia sat next to Shade and asked again. Shade shook his head:
"You are here with Siris, and Tifa, Miss Swift, and Miss Hayley Aurora will also stay. If you really need help, the witches will call you."
He was holding little Mia in his arms. He had just had lunch at noon, and the cat immediately became sleepy:
"When I come back from Oxenfurt Manor, I may still need to do some work. This is quite hard work."
Luvia smiled:
"Sirius, you called me by name. Yes, in your opinion, taking care of your cat is much more important than dealing with demons."
Hearing the sound coming from the stage, Shade got up and walked along the side stairs with Luvia. Seven or eight long brown lacquered wood tables are gathered together, and the tables for configuring potions and maintaining alchemical items are separated.
As for Ms. Hailey Aurora, who wears gold-rimmed glasses, she did not wear the relatively serious ladies' formal dress today, but wore a purple mandala dress. She was holding the staff and looking at the items on the table with some trouble.
On the table are three candles, one in silver, one in gold, and one in black. Miss Hayley Aurora is talking to the high-circle sorceress beside her, who accompanied the great witches during the Battle of Pantanal. Miss Avril, who went deep into the center of the swamp, discussed which candle should be used to "light" the staff:
"Different lights will give the staff different strengthening properties. The golden candle strengthens the teacher's control over 'light'; the silver candle gives additional effect on dispelling evil and curses; and the black candle can Expands the area of effect of the spell, but unfortunately, it can only accept one light at a time."
Seeing Shade and Luvia walking over, Miss Hailey Aurora explained with some trouble. Miss Avril first greeted Shade respectfully, and then suggested:
"I often hear young ladies praising that Mr. Hamilton's light is quite bright. I was also lucky enough to see your moonlight during the Battle of Pantanal. How about you try using your light?"
Luvia on the side also encouraged Shade to give it a try, so Hailey Aurora tilted the long wooden stick that was as tall as a person. Shade held the diamond on the top with his left hand and stretched out the fingertips of his right hand:
"Silver Moon."
The weak moonlight at the fingertips touched the top of the long staff, and the silver moonlight seemed to fill the inside of the diamond for a moment. As the diamond emitted light like real moonlight, three rune chains intertwined into chain traces appeared on the surface of the originally smooth oak staff, praising the moonlight written in the language of elves.
"Very successful."
Luvia smiled and said:
"It's a pity that Iluna can only come to see us in the evening, otherwise we can let her give it a try."
"The moonlight is so beautiful."
Miss Hailey Aurora was still staring at Shade's fingertips. She sighed softly and was heard by Shade. When Shade looked at her, she turned her head slightly with a blush. This made Luvia The smile on his face became even brighter.
Farewell to Hailey and Miss Avril, Shade and Luvia chatted while entering the backstage of the stage, then turned into the corridor, and decided to see what others were doing.
"You just said that after returning from Oxenfurt Manor, you would entrust Mia to me."
The girl with purple eyes looked at the sweet cat sleeping in Sha De’s arms:
"Then after you come back from Oxenfurt Manor, you still want to see what happened to the Chosen One?"
"Of course, even if the devil is solved, tonight's incident is only the beginning. It depends on the situation. If it is not very dangerous, you can go with me, and Mia will be taken care of by other girls in the opera house. ”
"Are you finally willing to take me, a girl with no fighting ability, to a dangerous battlefield?"
Her words were definitely sarcastic. Shade knew that Luvia's fighting ability was definitely not weak.
From the backstage corridor, I turned into the public dressing room No. 5, and then entered the No. 2 performance hall from the backstage. There are no fewer busy ladies here than next door. Miss Carina's followers occupied this place, and Tifa was leading them to prepare potions and check casting materials.
Although the group had already made sufficient preparations before setting off from Tobesk City, they still needed to make some more preparations before the war.
"It's like I'm back in the fifth era."
When Shade and Luvia walked on the stage together, the female fortune teller joked:
"Before the witch emperors go to war, the palace witches and magic advisors help prepare weapons and spell-casting materials."
"The environment here is not as good as the courtyards of the Witch Emperors of the Fifth Age."
Tifa put down the small bottle in her hand and greeted them. What's very interesting is that most of the girls here still wear black and white maid dresses like Tifa, instead of wearing casual clothes like Miss Aurora's followers.
"However, the lady's palace in Saladir County can be compared with the palaces of the Witch Emperors."
Shad has always heard that Miss Carina is almost the real queen of the principality in Saladir County, so she has a quite magnificent palace. It’s just that he has never really seen it, only seen the distant photos. The palace was praised as “a building that can only be owned in the elven kingdom”.
"What are you doing?"
Luvia asked curiously. On the table in front of Tifa were potion bottles, alcohol lamps, test tube racks and some thaumaturgy-driven centrifugation, distillation, and calcining devices. Although the equipment is not as complete as the basement of Priest Augustus, it is enough to cope with most scenarios.
"Prepare the magic potion 'All Poison Spirit' for the lady. This potion can deal with most toxins and neutralize the conflicting poisons in other potions."
After more than 1,800 years of development in the Sixth Age, potion science itself has become quite mature and systematic. As long as you don’t drink too much potion, you don’t need to consider the toxicity in modern potion formulas. But when drinking multiple magic potions together, you need to consider the toxicity caused by pharmacological conflicts.
"Oh, I know this. Non-chemistry majors at St. Byrons won't be exposed to this potion until seventh grade."
Luvia said, Tifa nodded, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed:
"The configuration of 'Wan Du Ling' is very complicated, and the potion is only valid for one week. We made some preliminary preparations in Tobesk and prepared and brought over the potion precursors that had not been processed in the final step. I I originally wanted to prepare the magic potion with Martha this afternoon, but found that we were missing the most important colorless honeysuckle. ”
"Martha" refers to the young lady with long black curly hair next to Tifa. She is also dressed as a maid. Shade often sees her in the Carina Manor in Tobesk.
"Colorless honeysuckle is a plant that can only grow in the north. Can't it be found in the Randall River Valley?"
"Yes, maybe we can ask other witches, maybe they have extra, or go to the local black market. If that doesn't work, we can only use ordinary honeysuckle as a substitute, but that will reduce the potency. Effective.”
Miss Martha said, then Luvia looked at Shade:
"Miss Lassers hasn't come back yet. Anyway, it's okay. Let's help ask other witches. Or, aren't you familiar with the local area? How about taking the time to go to the black market? But in this way, You can't do anything else."
"There is another way, just wait a moment."
Xia De said, instead of choosing the first two methods, he closed his eyes and searched for the knowledge in his head.
The knowledge brought by [Witch Reverberation] is quite complex, and most of it is incomplete. Until now, Shade cannot say that he has fully mastered [Principal Feliana] [Librarian Olan] Nord] [Ice Witch Chloe] [Witch Emperor Violet] [Immortal Witch Teresa] or [Long-Haired Luvia].
However, in his impression, there seemed to be knowledge about the "Ten Thousand Poison Spirits". Now he searched in his head and soon found the answer:
"You can actually get the best medicinal effect by replacing ordinary honeysuckle. However, you need silver powder, Stryker high-efficiency catalyst and a little egg white for filtration. I will write you the recipe."
He found pen and paper on the messy desktop and started writing. Luvia looked on, and she did not doubt the authenticity:
"You learned this from our priest friends?"
"No, I learned it from the witches of the past."
Actually, this is Luvia’s knowledge.
"I have never heard that the 'Wan Du Ling' can be configured like this."
Miss Martha sighed from the side:
"Even if this is the knowledge of the Fifth Era and not our own creation, this recipe alone is enough to publish a good article."
Xia De is very suspicious that this knowledge itself will only appear in the future after 1854 in the Sixth Age. It's just that the time in the present world and the Sixth Era has not yet reached that year.
After settling the matter with Miss Carina's followers, Shade exchanged a few words with Tifa, and after accepting a kiss on the side of the face as a blessing for tonight's operation, he left here again and continued Hang out at the opera house.
"When Tifa kissed you just now, the other maids were laughing."
Luvia said, very interested in this:
"I actually want to know what Miss Carina thinks of your relationship with her personal maid/apprentice."
"Well, this question is really hard to answer."
Shad thought carefully for a while before giving the answer, and Luvia did not ask further questions:
"I always think that sometimes Miss Carina is too tolerant to her apprentices. Maybe it's because they have a good relationship, and Tifa's methods are stronger than we thought."
"Louvia, don't talk about me, how about we get back to the topic?"
Shad asked, returning to the backstage corridor with Luvia again. Everyone has something to do, and there are quite a few girls walking through the corridor carrying boxes or potions.
Xia De also curiously asked the accountant of the opera troupe pushing the dining cart if the dining cart also contained potion ingredients. Then he learned that she was going to the basement to deliver afternoon tea to the four great witches.
"Back to the topic. What do you think is the possibility of God descending tonight?"
Luvia asked, immediately talking about the most serious topic.
"Almost 100%. It's not that I have no faith in the church, but this is my sixth sense."
Shad said, Luvia nodded thoughtfully:
"Then the next question is, are you ready to eliminate Oxenfurt, then eliminate the Guardians, and then use the Flowers of the Seasons you collected to have Miss Lassus perform a ceremony?"
Xia De slowed down slightly and looked at her:
"Did you misunderstand my plan? I never thought that Siris would become the chosen one."
The purple-eyed girl smiled and asked:
"Why? Because the Guardians are more useful to us? Or because you figured out how to reverse their madness?"
"Neither."
Xia De frowned slightly:
"In my opinion, there is no difference between the act of making Siris the Chosen One and the act of leaving the entire Golden Dawn to her after Mr. Larsus left without a word more than ten years ago. Although I appreciate and admire the Guardian, and I know that Mr. Lassus may have had difficulties back then, I despise this kind of behavior."
"Shad, Shad, it's because of this that you provoke more and more girls."
Luvia sighed softly, and added before Shade tried to explain:
"However, I still like you very much, my knight."
She moved slightly closer to Shade, and the sleeping cat muttered "meow~" in its sleep. It was not disturbed at all by the voices of Shade and Luvia.
The two continued to move forward, this time arriving at the performance hall occupied by Miss Sylvia's followers. Miss Sylvia herself has no apprentices, has been a witch for the shortest time, and doesn’t have many followers, but the place is still very lively.
Most of Miss Sylvia's followers have space talents, or at least can use a space-type ability. When Shade and Luvia found this place, most of the girls were maintaining alchemy props and preparing potions on the edge of the stage, but the five girls with the highest level were on the stage, using yellow and red paint mixed with gold powder. Draw a giant pentagram ceremonial matrix.
Densely packed runes were filled in the gaps of the five-pointed star, and I don’t know if this was done intentionally. In Shade’s eyes, the five-pointed star actually looked more like a spider web pattern. Shade didn't even need to look carefully to feel that the space was subtly shifting due to the formation of the ritual matrix.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hamilton."
The person who greeted Shade was Miss Sylvia's personal maid and the female assistant to Miss Sylvia as the princess's personal physician. She was 26 years old and an 8th-level sorceress named Miss Deckert.
"Good afternoon, Luvia and I are just taking a look around. Do you need any help?"
"Miss said that you can prohibit all special space phenomena except yourself within a certain range. Then can you activate thaumaturgy so that we can complete the next step?"
PS: The morning update is over!
I wish everyone a happy Year of the Rabbit and everything goes well in the new year!
