Chapter 4234 Obedient Students
Shad invited Ellie and Emilia to have dinner at his house before leaving, and the pointy-eared elf and the unicorn girl both accepted. After breakfast, Shad said goodbye to everyone, asked Luvia to look after Mia for the day, and then headed to Arcadia City.
"It's still raining."
The rain started the day before yesterday afternoon when Xia De and Wei Ge were taking a walk in the park. Yesterday it rained heavily all day. Although the rain is not as heavy today, it is clear that the rain has no intention of stopping.
Shad and Viggo had arranged to visit the Astley family's collection at Grayrock Pass Fortress today. Upon arriving at Fragrant Residence, Viggo told Shad some more news:
"It's Friday again today. Can we go to the 'Glamour Ladies Club' again tonight, just like last week?"
Xia De was very curious:
"Sure, but what are we going to do? Surely the club hasn't just contacted another leatherworker?"
Wei Ge shook her head:
“Of course not. Didn’t the club’s hostess, Madame Butterfly, leave me her contact information last time? I received an invitation from the club this week, which says there will be a small auction with some interesting things to be sold.”
This is quite normal. Although not all nobles are clearly aware of the supernatural world, most people in this era who have nothing better to do seek excitement by engaging with the occult.
Therefore, some nobles would obtain low-quality potions or nearly damaged alchemical items through various channels. While this wouldn't cause any major problems, if unidentified relics were mixed in, it would often be the beginning of a serious relic out-of-control incident.
Iluna has handled many similar cases in Tobesk.
"Something interesting? Do you have Rhodes cards?"
Xia De laughed, and Wei Ge shook her head:
“I don’t know about that, but in some of the auction photos sent by Madame Butterfly, I saw an item with a mother symbol. Yes, it’s that triangle with an eye inside.”
"What a coincidence? Is your mother deliberately leaving out clues to urge you to find your sister because you haven't been very active lately?"
Xia De guessed that Wei Ge thought the same thing:
"Whatever it is, I want it. It would be even better if I could find out who provided the item for the auction."
“No problem, I’ll go with you tonight. But I have dinner plans with Emilia and Ellie at my house tonight, so you’ll have to wait for me a bit.”
"Then let's invite them all over. Having the Elf Queen as a guest will certainly make this house shine!"
She said this with a smile, happy that her home would be lively again.
Eve and Adelina didn't go out in the rainy weather. While Shad was waiting for Viggo to change her clothes and go out, he saw them in the study.
The little princess greeted Shad sweetly. Although she was living away from home, the people here took good care of her, and she looked quite well lately. Of course, the key was that her sister came every few days. Adelina was touched, yet also felt as if she hadn't gone very far at all.
As for Eve, she wore a dark green pencil skirt with black knee-high leather boots. The boots hugged her calves, making her legs look straight and long. This outfit made her appear even taller than usual, especially when standing next to Adelina.
Seeing that Xia De was looking at her, and for reasons she herself couldn't quite explain, the girl asked:
"Should I prepare bathwater for you and your teacher in advance?"
Adelina blinked, knowing without even trying what her friend was thinking. Before Shad could respond, Eve blushed and said:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
After saying that, she lowered her head and tried to rush out, but was stopped by Adelina. Although the little princess was usually submissive in front of her older sister, she was quite assertive in Lacey's absence, and she solemnly warned her:
"Turning away when things get awkward is the part I hate most when reading storybooks. My favorite part is when the conflict is clarified face-to-face, and then..."
She seemed to be thinking of something, blinked, and hesitated to continue.
"In short, you can't leave now."
Adelina looked at Shad, who had already walked over. He hugged Eve, who lowered her head and offered only a slight resistance, but clearly didn't really want to push Shad away.
"Are you a little unhappy?"
The tall girl shook her head:
"No, teacher is a witch, and I'm not even a witch's apprentice. I'm just... teacher and you are a good match, I'm just..."
"I understand, I understand everything."
The young women felt inferior in front of their teachers, yet were also plagued by anxieties and uncertainties due to the lustful advances of outsiders. Xia De knew this was also a result of his own mistakes.
“Wei Ge is great, and you are great too. If I have the chance, I would even like to invite you both to go to a hot spring together.”
He thought to himself, "How did I become this kind of person?" and continued:
"If you're unhappy, do you need me to prove my feelings?"
Eve's bold "thank you" a few days ago had already let Shad know her feelings, and Shad understood her conflicted emotions at the moment.
The tall girl answered with red eyes:
"No, I'm not unhappy with you. It's just that we happen to share the same interests, that you happened to save me, and that you gave me a completely new heart."
Shad kissed her, expecting Eve to offer a token resistance, but to his surprise, the girl suddenly hugged Shad's neck and responded "fiercely".
Shad felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap, and Adelina felt as if her earlier "unhappiness" was simply a hunter's tactic.
"I've learned something new."
The little princess thought to herself, and nudged Eve when she was about to suffocate due to her lack of experience. Eve then pushed Shad away, blushed, and said, "I have a paper I'd like you to take a look at," before quickly rushing out of the study with her head down. This time, no one stopped her.
Shad wiped his mouth and looked at Adelina again. The little princess was more immature than the tall girl in both appearance and personality, but at this moment she pretended to be mature and said:
"A young girl's heart is always so complicated. The battlefield of love is more cruel than the real battlefield."
"Did you see this in a book?"
Adelina winked:
"So, Shad, have you read the two books I gave you?"
"I've been very busy lately and haven't read them yet, but I put them on my bookshelf. This is a gift from you, so don't worry, Lacia won't find out."
As Shad spoke, he showed off his library, which Adelina found quite enviable. If she also possessed such magical abilities, she wouldn't be afraid of Recia discovering her secret collection.
She glanced at the door Eve had closed after leaving, calculated the average time it took for noble ladies to change clothes, and then, in a very unladylike manner, she braced herself on the edge of the desk with one hand and jumped up, landing directly on the desk.
Adelina's eyes lit up as she opened her arms to Shad, inspired by everyone's courage.
"So, can I be one too? It's been a long time since I've appreciated a vase, hasn't it?"
"There's not enough time to appreciate a vase right now."
"It's okay. Even if you don't hold it in your hands and examine it carefully, a beautiful vase still needs to be touched and touched from time to time."
Whether it was Shad's imagination or not, Adelina seemed more proactive than usual. Although she was still essentially the same sweet and adorable princess, she was clearly trying to change now that she was no longer under her parents' supervision.
Of course, it's also possible that Viggo and Eve set an example for her, inspiring Agelina to want to do something as well.
Viggo, of course, had no idea what her two "good students" had done while she was changing clothes. When she said goodbye to them with Shad, she smiled and told her students to study hard at home today. If Adelina could master [Chaos Echo], she would allow Adelina to go for a walk in the city with other people for the following weekend.
"Yes, teacher."
The students answered obediently in unison.
The carriage carrying Shad and Vige departed from Fragrant Manor in the rain, heading towards Grayrock Pass Fortress. Nothing noteworthy happened along the way, and during their time alone in the carriage, Vige didn't ask for any more intimacy with Shad. After all, she was now a witch who had seen and experienced much, and her perspective was far broader than before.
While in the carriage, Viggo told Shad some of the secrets and legends of the Astley family, as well as stories she had heard from the family about the Deringer era.
There were many stories about vampires in that era, and in fact, most of the vampire stories that have emerged in modern times are based on legends from that time. Wei Ge used to think that they were just used to scare children, but now that she has gradually learned the truth, even she has to admit that she really doesn't know enough about her hometown.
"If my health had been better before, I might not have been so out of touch with the world."
She leaned on Shad's shoulder and sighed softly. Shad felt that Viggo's health had improved a lot since she received Miss Felian Anna's ointment and the pseudo-people's secret formula for mother fluid.
When he first met Wei Ge, she would be out of breath after running just a few steps in the Candle Castle Library, but yesterday and the day before, she could even swim underwater for a long time.
While the mysterious liquid that supported her during the underwater swimming was also a factor, it was enough to show that Vige's physical condition had improved significantly.
On the way to Grayrock Pass Fortress, Shad and Vigo discussed the theft at the Velendale Mint. Margaret and Sylvia would be arriving next week, which wasn't anything special; with a second witch settling in for a period, Vigo felt a bit more relaxed.
Regarding the theft case:
“If the theft was committed by the Drinor Zionists, then they are quite remarkable.”
