Chapter 2374: Letter from Gao De
Just as Xia De was about to speak about his plans for the next "Red Butterfly Day", Leicia interrupted him with a smile:
"Are you anxious? But don't be anxious this time.
Dorothy, Grace, and Helen and I have agreed that since the Moon Bay incident is coming to an end, we may need the power of the "chosen one of space". We can only perfectly integrate with Grace and Helen on the Red Butterfly Day, so the "celebration day" next Wednesday is temporarily cancelled. If you have any bad intentions, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while before you can realize them.
Oh, and don’t ask us how to contact Grace and Helen, it’s our secret.”
"What bad intentions could I have?"
Xia De asked.
"for example."
The blonde bit her lip lightly:
"Don't you prefer girls' legs to fish tails? In that case, I still have very important knowledge about this fairy tale that I haven't taught you yet. Shade, sit next to me and I will tell you what kind of magic the beautiful legs that the mermaid princess pursues have."
Before Xia De could move, they heard an impatient knock on the door:
"Lecia, I don't mind you talking so loudly. But aren't you teaching a class? Please don't flirt during class, okay? Also, did you do that on purpose for me to hear it?"
Lecia covered her mouth and chuckled. Based on Xia De's understanding of her, she probably did it on purpose.
"If you don't want to listen, why don't you just slip a Silencing Charm through the crack in the door? Although Dorothy has been feeling a little unwell lately, I have plenty of ways to make her happy. I'm about to start, so don't eavesdrop. Come on, Shad, tell me how much you love us. Yes, in any way you want."
"Lecia!"
So it was not until the early hours of the morning that Shad took the two ladies from the Cavendish family back to their room to rest.
After Saturday, it was Sunday again. After three days of rain, Tobysk finally had a sunny day, but the streets were still wet even in the morning.
“I felt like even the newspaper was wet.”
Xia De said at the breakfast table, with Mia next to him and a letter from Miss Gold from afar. Leisia was in a good mood reading another copy of the Tobesk Literary Newspaper. The Duchess was ruddy and was about to eat porridge with a spoon, but when she saw the sticky stuff, she immediately thought of what happened last night:
"Shad is really ungentlemanly sometimes."
Of course, when I complain in my heart, I have a smile on my face.
The travel plan originally planned for summer had to be put on hold due to the spread of a severe plague on the east coast of the Old World. The heir of the ancient family who was deeply troubled by the plague in his hometown town also made Xia De worried.
Although he had spent a lot of time in Moon Bay in the past month, he was also paying attention to the plague. Specifically, with the cooperation between the Kingdom and the Church of the Five Gods, the strange plague that was spreading rapidly at the beginning of the month and even made everyone in Tobesk, where there were no cases, feel insecure, has been brought under control.
To say that the epidemic is under control is actually just to prevent it from spreading to more areas. Currently, in the blockade areas of the Old Continent, the screening of infected people, the disposal of corpses, the treatment of patients, and the tracking of cases are still underway.
The newspapers have published good news about the control of the plague for two consecutive weeks, and after confirmation by Miss Leicia and Miss Carina, it is rare that everything in the newspapers is true.
In her letter this month, Miss Gold also mentioned that the spread of the plague in the small town where her declining family lived had gradually improved.
Since Miss Gode returned to the family, she recruited adventurers and a large number of craftsmen to renovate the family's old land. Since last year, she has done a series of things in old houses, manors, farms, harbors, wilderness, etc. Therefore, the town, which had been prepared for danger, did not suffer too serious losses in this round of plague attacks.
Although a curfew is still in place in the town, order has returned to normal and townspeople no longer gather in churches to help each other.
From the words of this letter, Xia De could clearly feel Miss Gode's joy. She claimed that since the plague was about to pass, she planned to continue to renovate and explore the land left by her rich ancestors. Although she had described the weirdness and abnormality in those "ancestral lands" in the previous letters, it was obvious that the ancestral treasures left there were worth such a lot of trouble.
"Look, how happy Shade is smiling now? What kind of person is Mia's master?"
Miss Carina said to Resia who still hadn't left. Her Highness looked at Shade who was reading the letter carefully.
"I don't care who she is. As long as she's not the girl with cat ears, I don't have to worry about her."
Then the Duchess also joked:
"When Luvia and I were chatting, I asked her if she was worried that the appearance of the beautiful witch would threaten her position in Shade's heart. But Luvia said at the time that she would only be a little worried when the cat-eared girl appeared."
Of course, Shad heard the "slander" against him by the Cavendish ladies, but he did not respond after reading the letter.
This time, Miss Gode's letter was obviously more content than before, so several more sheets of letter paper were used. Xia De guessed that it was probably because she had nothing to do during the spread of the plague, so she was willing to say more when writing.
The first half of the letter introduced the local plague situation, and the middle part was about the subsequent planned town renovation and family revival plan. The situation of the town that Shade learned from the correspondence over the past year was so good that he could almost draw a map of the town and its surroundings out of thin air.
As for the second half of this month's letter, Miss Gold was concerned about her cat, Little Mia. She once again asked Shade to mail her a photo of Little Mia, and thought that the cat, which was now over one year old, should have grown up a bit.
She also thanked Detective Shad Hamilton for taking care of the cat, and wrote something that surprised Shad at the end.
"what?!"
He stood up from the table at once, attracting not only the Duchess and the Princess to look at him, but even the cat that was licking goat's milk looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong? Miss Gold said she is a cat girl?"
Lecia asked with a smile, reaching out to pull Shadra to sit down again. It seemed that she and Karina were still discussing the previous topic.
"Of course not. But Miss Gold said that she will most likely come to Tobesk for some business at the end of this month or the beginning of next month, and she will visit the Hamilton Detective Agency at that time."
As Xia De spoke, he picked up the letter again, fearing that he had misread the contents.
Leicia asked curiously:
"She's coming? Is she coming to take Mia away?"
"The letter didn't say anything, it just said that I would come here. It's the beginning of this month now, so there's still half a month to a month left."
Shade muttered to himself, looking at the cat who had no idea what was going on.
Carina smiled and said:
"Look at you. You were never this nervous when facing dangerous enemies before. Relax, Shade. Whether Miss Mia Gold wants to take Little Mia away or not, I can help you keep Little Mia. If it's legal, use the gold pound to persuade her. If it's illegal, you can use it yourself.
Anyway, what are you worried about? Isn't this a good opportunity? You finally have the chance to make Mia your pet cat."
"Yes, you originally said that you wanted to go see Miss Gold yourself, and now she's coming to see you, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Leicia also asked, while Shade continued to look at the letter. No matter when Miss Gold comes, it will be after the Moon Bay incident is over, and we can't let this matter distract us now.
"Ms. Gold is actually a very easy-to-talk-to person. I can feel that from our correspondence over the past year."
Xia De spoke slowly, then raised his head and asked:
"Ms. Godd asked me to take a picture of Little Mia. The cat is over one year old now, and it won't do if she remains the same size as before. There should be some kind of potion that can make Little Mia look bigger, right?"
"An aging potion, barely a high-end potion. Just ask Megan to make it for you. Mother-in-law Cassandra can also make it."
After Karina said this, Leicia asked curiously:
"Since there are age-increasing drugs, are there age-reducing drugs? Shade's Secret of Immortality contains spells, secrets, and potions to maintain youth, but there is no method to reverse age."
"Aren't you and Dorothy the right age now? Do you still want to be seventeen or eighteen like Ajelina and Emilia?"
The red-haired witch laughed, but still answered the question:
"Deaging by illusion is definitely not the answer you want. If it is real deaging by changing the physical state, there are indeed potions that can do it, but what is the point of such potions?
The unreal experience of returning to the age of 18 for a few hours or days, and then returning to the original state to face reality, is nothing more than the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. I think it is better to face reality. "
She picked at the bacon casually with her fork:
"Girls always have to face the fact that growing older is something we have to face, so we have to cherish every moment. Of course, Leixia, if you want to pursue permanent aging, I suggest you let Xia De quickly learn the method of turning back time."
"That's it~"
Leicia glanced at Shade and did not mention the topic again.
At the breakfast table, Shad talked about the plague with the two Cavendish ladies. When breakfast was almost over, Dorothy came back again, lamenting that she was not used to not having Ajelina at the table at Yodel Palace.
