Chapter 3904 The Sickly Witch
Upon seeing Claire arrive, although the possibility was slim, Luvia still carefully examined her. Finding that Claire blushed but showed no other change, Luvia was disappointed that the remaining witches lacked courage.
"I wonder which of Bella, Flora, and Claire will be next. It can't be the next witch that Shad meets, can it?"
Lacey's demonstration of the "poison apple" magic once again drew gasps of amazement from Ellie. The little unicorn, though exceptionally intelligent, simply couldn't learn it, so Ellie was quite envious. Claire, feeling even more embarrassed by Luvia's scrutiny, stood up and offered to chill the red wine.
So, amidst the crackling of the campfire, Luvia asked Shad with a smile:
“I only got back this morning, and I only heard you mention that the Moon Egg was brought back from Mount Karas. So, has Danist found any clues to make the seed germinate recently?”
Shade shook his head:
"Not yet. Daniste even considered using the power of fate, but the remaining few Rings of Fate can't offer much help right now. Besides, even if there were a suitable Ring of Fate, I wouldn't dare let Ms. Helena Carter touch fate so easily."
Xia De stared intently at the purple-eyed girl he hadn't seen for half a month:
"And what about you? We didn't have a detailed chat with the doctor this afternoon. How's your training at the association?"
The fortune teller then complained:
"What else could I do? Every day was just classes and meetings, and occasionally I'd dabble in the association's underground and come into contact with some so-called taboos. I admit this training was very useful, but if I had gone straight home back then, I'd probably have already advanced to the tenth ring by now."
I saw it that afternoon: Dorothy advanced to the tenth ring, the doctor advanced to the eleventh ring, and even the priest was preparing to advance from the sixth to the seventh ring.
"Your promotion is just one ceremony away, there's no need to rush."
Shad took her soft right hand in his. Not only did Shad miss Luvia, but Luvia missed Shad just as much. After he took her hand, her purple eyes immediately welled up with tears. However, with so many people around, Luvia only moved a little closer to Shad.
"So, during the time I was away, you shouldn't have come across any leads regarding the next candidate, right?"
"Of course not. You see, I haven't been idle either. First, I went to Mount Calas, and then I've been busy with the investigation into Queen Diana."
Luvia was somewhat dissatisfied:
"So you haven't gone to see Margaret yet? I thought you would deal with this matter first. Shad, you need to distinguish between what's important and what's urgent; that's the more important thing."
“Margaret recently.”
When Shad looked at Luvia's abdomen, the fortune teller understood:
"She's healthy, she can't stay like that forever, can she? Let's not waste the opportunity while we still have time."
"What are you two whispering about? Come on, let's raise a glass and celebrate Luvia's return."
Lacia smiled and said this to them, then handed the wine glass to Luvia.
Everyone stood up except for one cat. Winnie picked up the cup Dorothy handed her, while Ellie and Leona each held a glass of red grape juice.
"Celebrating Luvia's return from training, and also celebrating Shad and Claire solving a major case together—cheers!"
Today is the day Luvia returns, so even though it's Saturday, Lacey and Dorothy decided to invite Luvia to stay overnight at No. 6 St. Teresa's Square on this precious Red Butterfly Day.
The girl, who hadn't had any intimate contact with Xia De since that evening party at the "celebration banquet," was deeply moved and, half-heartedly, was pulled into the bedroom that night.
Luvia was quite proactive; as the outsiders would say, their reunion after a short separation was no different from a newlywed couple's. While Lacey and Dorothy joked with Luvia, they also actively joined in the game.
It's been almost two years since Xia De obtained the Pink Book, but neither he nor the girls who read it dare to claim they've fully mastered its contents. Like the Book of Malbas the Demon and the Secret of Immortality, it's a systematic book, containing secret techniques from low to high levels.
Now that the girls are high school seniors, they naturally haven't forgotten to find unique enjoyment in it. For example, tonight, Lacia and Dorothy achieved another astonishing breakthrough in their refined "spatial control."
"Controlling the size of space" is a relatively basic spatial operation. It looks similar to the so-called "expansion" and "shrinkage" techniques, but in reality, it does not affect the properties of the object itself, but only changes the nature of the space to which the object belongs.
This is essential knowledge for high-level sorcerers who are proficient in spatial power, but what the girls learned from the "Pink Book" was the precise manipulation of space within the human body. This is extremely difficult, requiring far greater precision in spatial manipulation than the spatial circulation and connections within the human body that they were already familiar with.
But on this special day of the Red Butterfly, the girls still managed to achieve this.
Shad didn't want to elaborate on their motives, but in short, when the clock struck midnight on Sunday and Galina burst into number 6 St. Teresa's Place, she was quite startled:
"You guys... well, this talent is indeed unique, but it's more like imagination than talent."
Good evening, Galina.
Luvia, who was kneeling with Shad in her arms, greeted her. Lacey, whose skin was almost entirely crimson, wiped Dorothy and Luvia's cheeks with her hand, and then hugged Shad's head and kissed him passionately for a while before heading to the bathroom.
Dorothy leaned against Shad, who had sat up, and asked with a seductive expression:
"Lascia asked me to ask—Galina, what brings you here?"
Although the Duchess was surprised by what she had just witnessed, thankfully she remembered her business:
“I’ve come to see Shad.”
"Want to come together?"
Luvia laughed, hugging Shad from behind, her purple eyes gleaming. Galina shook her head again:
"There really is something important I need Shad's help with. There's actually a witch in the council who's been seriously ill, and her condition worsened tonight. His Excellency the Speaker has already gone to deal with it. Megan was called in to help, and she unexpectedly discovered that Shad's 'Star Dewdrops' were very effective in healing her."
"The situation is urgent, Shad. Do you have any 'Star Dewdrops' here that have a stronger healing effect?"
The magical spell [Star Dewdrops] changes the ratio of its restorative and life-restoring effects depending on the phase of the moon. Before the Battle of Destiny, the girls took most of the Star Dewdrops that restored restorative energy, and Shad did indeed create many Star Dewdrops that restored life:
"A sick witch? I think I've heard you mention her before. I'll go to the basement to get it. How much do you need?"
“Give me two-thirds, and I’ll give them to Megan in Parliament. Megan can take out a few first, and then we can consider taking them out in batches, since we can’t explain the origin of this magical item.”
"OK, wait."
Shad took the robe that Galina bent down to pick up, put it on, and then quickly walked towards the basement in his slippers, with the sleeping cat in the living room immediately following.
It was clear that Galina had come in a hurry, not even bringing Tifa along. After Shad left, Galina then spoke to Luvia and Dorothy:
"You guys actually..."
"Grandma, I can hear your voice. Are you trying to praise our power?"
Lacey's voice came from the direction of the bathroom, while Luvia laughed:
"Don't get me wrong, I don't play that kind of game."
Galina tried hard to stop thinking about the scene from just now, but she just couldn't shake it off from her mind:
"Lascia, Dorothy, you've both used your talents in this area, so I really don't want to talk about this anymore. But since you've asked, let me tell you about the witch's disease."
Actually, no one asked her anything; she just wanted to give herself time to think about other things.
"That witch is the eleventh seat of the Chaos Great Witch. Although she is at the eleventh rank, before Shad appeared, she was only slightly stronger than Sylvia, who was only at the tenth rank, and the elderly Granny Cassandra."
Her illness was congenital, but not hereditary. Her mother had also been a ring sorceress, but was affected by an artifact during her pregnancy, causing her to suffer from the illness since birth. Even after becoming a witch, she couldn't be cured by the witch's 'perfection'; the illness remained, and this time, for some reason, it suddenly worsened.
Dorothy was held in Luvia's arms. They didn't mean anything by it; they just wanted to feel more of Shad's warmth from each other.
"I don't understand. Since she was born with such a serious illness, shouldn't she have been made into the Great Witch for the sake of the council's legacy?"
Dorothy asked, "This is not discrimination against sick people. Reputable organizations understand that when appointing key personnel, unless there is no other choice, they should try to select people who are healthy, or at least not so unhealthy."
Galina understood her confusion and replied:
"That Chaos Great Witch is a little younger than me, and I know about what happened when she took office. Although her health isn't very good, she's extremely talented. If her health were a little better, she could actually be considered a second Sylvia. Sylvia is a second her, after all, Sylvia has the least seniority."
Furthermore, the requirements for inheriting the position of the Great Witch of Chaos are quite high, unlike us who can find suitable apprentices with just a little effort. Therefore, considering all these factors, she ultimately ascended to the position of Great Witch.
At this moment, Lacey returned from the bathroom:
"I heard you say before that the Great Witch of Chaos is the most beautiful in the council?"
"She thinks she's the most beautiful."
Jialina snorted:
"Think about it, how could someone who is always pale and coughs frequently while covering their mouth with a handkerchief be prettier than me?"
