Chapter 2857 Tea Extraction Method
The boat was quickly started by Xia De at the stern, avoiding the floating ice on the water and heading in the direction from which it came.
Miss Bister shivered and curled up, blowing air into her hands. She missed the bonfire, and just as she felt her body temperature returning to normal, she noticed that Miss Wilder, who was sitting opposite her, seemed a little dazed, so she asked curiously:
"Ms. Wilder, are you okay?"
The dragon witch seemed to realize what had happened and subconsciously wanted to look at Xia De again, but her face turned red and she stopped herself from turning her head:
"Nothing, I just didn't expect Mr. Hamilton's Transfiguration to be so superb. The dragon he just transformed into is really..."
She wanted to say "handsome" but was embarrassed, so she changed it temporarily to:
“It’s really realistic.”
Because there was still a large amount of floating ice on the water nearby, Xia De chose the route very carefully and did not participate in the girls' discussion for the time being.
Iluna, who didn't seem cold at all, immediately said:
"Of course. The dragon that Shade transforms into is the most handsome dragon I have ever seen."
She said what the dragon witch was too embarrassed to say, and the gray wolf girl nodded immediately:
"Yes, yes. I have seen many dragons, but the one transformed by Mr. Hamilton is the most handsome. Miss Wilder, you must have seen more dragons than us. Are all silver dragons so beautiful?"
"That's not a silver dragon."
Miss Wilder corrected immediately, but she was still thinking about the "Moonlight Dragon" she had just seen. So she carefully changed the topic to what happened in the tower just now, not wanting to talk about dragons with them anymore, but in fact she was secretly looking at Shade who was rowing the boat at the stern.
Unlike Fiona, she is a pure-blooded dragon, so although her aesthetics are mainly human, she has not given up the dragon aesthetics. And whether in human or dragon form, Shade is the type that no dragon girl would ever dislike.
In other words, for the pure-blooded dragon girls, he is completely "one person who can fulfill two wishes".
"Teacher, I met an incredible person."
Because they were worried about being targeted by other things, the boat returned very quickly. Fortunately, the group did not encounter the next attack. When everyone jumped from the boat to the gap on the fourth floor of the castle, Miss Metz by the fire immediately stood up to greet them. She looked quite worried:
"Just now I saw a bright light in the distance. That's the direction you were going. What did you encounter?"
"A very difficult enemy, who was finally driven away by Miss Wilder and Shade."
As Iluna spoke, everyone who had gone out hurried back to the campfire. After feeling the warmth of the campfire, Miss Wilder finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's great to have a safe camp in such a dangerous place. I don't want to encounter that thing again."
The people who went out dried their water before sitting down, and Shade released Mia again. No one seemed injured, but the spirit here was difficult to recover, so the spirit consumed in the previous battle made the gray wolf and green dragon, who were already in poor condition, feel a little uncomfortable.
After a short break, Iluna and Gray Wolf described together how the enemy suddenly appeared and froze the water. Although the four people who went out didn't know what it was, Miss Metz knew it after just a simple description:
"How did this thing appear here? It's the Heartless Demon. Legend has it that in the great northern ice cap of the northern continent, there are countless terrible plague sources and parasites that existed in ancient times. The evil creature called the Heartless Worm is one of them. This worm is similar to water elemental life. It will parasitize living organisms, freezing the host's soul and body until it is transformed into what you just saw."
Although Miss Metz couldn't explain the specific origin and parasitic principle of the insect, it was really dangerous:
"It seems that if we need to go out next time, we must be more careful."
"Parasites! I hate bugs the most."
The green dragon girl said in a low voice, and when everyone looked at her, she explained:
"I work as a maid, and if other people find bugs in the places I clean, I will be laughed at for the whole year."
As she spoke, she secretly wanted to look at Xia De again, and then she immediately noticed the sharp eyes of the cat in Xia De's arms.
Although "sharp" is not appropriate to describe the cute kitten's eyes, the green dragon always felt that the cat was examining her, which made her feel guilty.
But no matter what, at least the purpose of this outing was perfectly achieved. Iluna's "Glorious Sun" and Miss Wilde's "Delicious Black Tea and Dessert Making" have both been marked with holy emblems by the gods, and they are all ready to teach.
It's just that Shad didn't have much time left this time, and he would have plenty of time to learn from Iluna later. The other girls could also learn from Iluna while Shad was away, so Shad asked the Green Dragon Witch if he could try to teach now.
"of course can."
The dragon girl who was warming herself by the fire stood up and said:
"You brought enough tea, that's enough."
Noticing that everyone was looking at her, the witch holding the book "Delicious Black Tea and Dessert Making" stood by the fire and coughed softly:
"You have all seen me make black tea, but I am also good at making snacks. It's just that the conditions here are limited and it's not convenient to make snacks from flour. But in fact, for a qualified dragon maid, the mysteries contained in black tea and snacks are not inferior to potions and decoctions."
She squeezed out a handful of black tea leaves from the small bag that Xia De brought:
"I'm not the best dragon maid, so what I can teach you is just what I just learned from this book. Using tea leaves as a spellcasting material, you can make some special tea leaves that are similar to magic potions in a short period of time. You have seen this when you went into the water."
This refers to the tea leaves she provided to several people that could be used for underwater sensing and communication:
"This time I want to teach you a similar ability."
She put the handful of tea leaves back and piled together all the tea bags that Shade had brought:
“Giving tea leaves special effects also involves some theories of Transfiguration. We are just trying to teach them this time, so we won’t go into too much detail. As we all know, good black tea and delicious snacks can make people happy, and mental relaxation can affect the soul, which in turn affects the recovery of ether.
Since the theory is logical, we can try to restore the ether through the secret method of "chewing tea leaves". The book calls this secret method "tea extraction". Although this method of restoring ether does not restore much, it may be useful in a crucial battle. "
Since it is a rare spell that can actively restore the spirit, it is completely worth learning for Xia De even if the restoration is small.
So everyone watched as Miss Wilder skillfully used the "pinch" method to take different types of tea from the tea bag and put them into the teapot. While taking the tea leaves, she also looked at the required tea dosage on the book flying beside her, just like a maid reading a recipe while cooking.
After taking the tea leaves, she did not add water to the teapot, but carved extremely complex ritual patterns on the surface of the teapot. Finally, she made the teapot fly up, and spit out a flame to wrap the teapot. After the flame activated the ritual markings, she chanted a spell.
After the process was completed, she took out the mixed warm tea leaves and put a handful in everyone's palm. Mia thought it was food, sniffed it curiously, and then moved her head away in disgust.
Miss Wilder smiled at it, feeling that her guilty conscience was really inexplicable:
"Now put them in your mouth and chew them slowly, being careful not to swallow them."
Although black tea tastes good, chewing dry tea leaves certainly doesn't taste good, but everyone still did it. The cat even scratched Shade's hand twice, as if to stop him from doing it.
However, Shade noticed that Iluna looked very cute when chewing tea leaves, with her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.
As for Shad himself, he felt a distinct bitterness at the beginning, that strange dry and slightly herbal taste, which made him think for a moment that he was chewing plant fibers.
The tea leaves tasted hard and astringent when chewed. After chewing for a while, he could vaguely sense a slight sweet aftertaste, but the bitter taste was too strong, so he didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Okay, now that you've gotten used to the smell of the tea, please all meditate together. Yes, just like the last time Miss Bister taught me."
The green dragon girl also sat down chewing tea leaves, sitting on the right side of Xia De:
"But our meditation does not require you to imagine a specific scene. You should now chew tea leaves while experiencing the feeling of happiness. Everyone's happiness is different, so I will not paint a picture for you. You should have your own unique ideas."
Her beautiful green eyes swept across the people around the fire:
“Try to find the moment of happiness from the sweet aftertaste of tea leaves. If you succeed, then the ‘tea extraction method’ is successful.”
Because she didn't have enough materials to cast spells before, she actually hadn't mastered this special secret method yet. Last time, the werewolf girl only taught everyone to meditate, but she didn't expect that Shade could learn transfiguration. Therefore, she was not only teaching everyone, but she was also learning.
Then everyone stopped talking and started chewing tea leaves together, but at slightly different speeds. The girls chewed elegantly without making any strange noises, so the crackling of the campfire around which they were sitting became more obvious.
PS: In the previous chapters, some readers pointed out that Fiona left her scent on Shade when she was in the "City of Eternal Night", so why didn't Miss Wilder smell it this time.
Because the smell was not permanent, she didn't dare leave the smell when she followed Miss Feliana to the Shade family last time.
Moreover, after the Battle of Moon Bay, Shade had come into contact with the "Unknown Eldest Son" and the "Fourth Son", and Fiona's aura was also obscured.
