"Green Lake City was named after a lake called 'Green Lake'. The lake is between Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City, very close to the former. Green Lake City was established because of the existence of the lake. As for the origin of the name 'Green Lake', it is because the lake water will intermittently turn completely green. It is said that this is related to the growth of algae caused by groundwater pollution."
Miss Carina said.
Shad was not very interested in the "Green Lake City" in Draerion, but he did not forget that Hela Osenfurt's father, Old Watson, said that the group of tomb robbers who sold him the angel finger bones seemed to come from the border city of Carsenrick, the Glass City, Mikaela Blast Furnace City.
Shade made note of this in his heart, and Luvia asked him again:
"After you recover from your illness, what are your plans?"
"Go to a small town on the east coast and visit Miss Mia Gold."
Perhaps because it heard the word "Mia", the cat, which was eating lunch with its head down, raised its head and looked at Shade alertly.
Xia De patted its little head:
"I was delayed for some time because of my illness, otherwise I might have returned by now."
He had no intention of staying there for long, and the journey from Fort Midhill by steam locomotive was not very far.
"You'd better postpone your departure. The Tobesk Spring City Riding Competition will begin later next week."
Dorothy said very seriously:
"I remember you promised Leicia that you would attend. If your physical condition allows, you'd better not miss it."
"certainly."
Shade immediately said:
"Lecia also told me to declare my loyalty in her name when registering for the competition and following the competition rules. Oh!"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked under the table. There were only four people at the table, so he could easily tell it was Dorothy.
It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess is still unwilling to let Xia De talk about this matter.
"Little Lecia, you haven't been thinking about this since last year, have you?"
The witch said, not really caring in her language.
The "Spring City Riding Tournament" is the most grand event in spring that continues the tradition of the cold weapon knight era, so all the rules must follow the ancient style. When participating in the competition, contestants must choose the appropriate way to declare their loyalty.
You can use your family name, a loved one's name, a metaphor that symbolizes nobleness and loyalty, or even the name of your beloved.
Everyone now knew what Lecia was planning.
Xia De also knew that he seemed to have said too much, so he wanted to change the subject:
"Please allow me once again to thank you for your care during these days."
He said quite sincerely:
"Especially Luvia, when I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache a few days ago, I could see you every time, oh!"
Xia De was hit under the table again, this time by the female fortune teller.
But this time he didn't understand what he said wrong, so "she" gently reminded him:
Luvia Anat used the demon gold to perform a special divination to determine how to save you. But at the same time, she also used divination to determine the time of your awakening each time, and then entered your room on time. She did not tell anyone else about this.
"Why do I remember that Luvia's special divination has no effect on me?"
She smiled gently:
Even without the memory of the past life, the Sixth Era, she was still a very outstanding girl.
After kicking Shade, Luvia blushed and refused to speak. Dorothy was quite interested in her expression. The witch said:
"Isn't it my duty to take care of you? When you recover from your illness, why don't I keep the maid? There's no one at home to cook, run bath water, or prepare tea. Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"
"No, no, I don't need anyone extra to take care of me."
Shad hastily refused, then turned to look at Tifa behind him:
"It's not that these girls don't take good care of me, it's just that I'm not used to it."
The black-haired maid smiled, while Miss Carina knew he would say this:
"If you need anything, tell me. After all, we don't have to be polite now. I know you don't like me giving you things for free, but if you really need something, don't treat me as an outsider."
The beautiful golden eyes looked at Shade, and Shade nodded:
"Of course, since that night, oh!"
Xia De was hit again under the table, but this time he was really angry, or confused:
"I'm a patient!"
He emphasized, and while Luvia and Dorothy covered their mouths and laughed softly, he bent down and grabbed it. When he straightened up, he actually had a red high-heeled shoe in his hand.
The witch's mouth twitched:
"Give it back to me."
"I'll give it back to you after dinner. I don't want to be hit again!"
As he said that, Shade put the shoe on the table beside him. It was on the other side away from Luvia who was sitting next to him, next to Mia. The cat looked quite disgusted, and used its head to support the bowl in front of it and moved towards the center of the table.
However, Shade didn't have to worry about any hygiene issues. Witches had very magical physical characteristics. In short, fairy tales were actually partly true. He had carefully confirmed it the night before he fell ill.
"You are..."
The witch pursed her lips and looked at Tifa behind Shad, hoping that she could take the shoes back, but the maid lowered her head and pretended not to see it. So Miss Carina had to give up temporarily, but when she thought of Shad eating next to her shoes, she had a strange idea in her mind.
Because Shad had a meeting in the afternoon, Miss Carina took the maids away after lunch. However, they would come to visit Shad in the evening until Shad recovered completely.
The meeting time of 1:30 p.m. was approaching, but Dorothy did not stay in St. Teresa's Square. Instead, she went home to get the Ancient Runes course paper that she had forgotten to bring. She planned to submit the course paper to the college today.
So, before half past one, only Shad and Luvia were left at home, and the cat, who usually took a nap after lunch, lay obediently on the windowsill of the living room to bask in the sun. This was its favorite nap spot.
Shade was not idle either. After obtaining Luvia's "consent", he went to the basement to get the gift box from God, intending to take out this week's gift while he was still conscious. It was already Saturday, and if he missed the time, he would lose a free gift, which was more painful than losing money.
Luvia didn't let Shade stay in the living room, but asked him to go to the bedroom with the box, then sit on the bed and cover himself with the quilt before going to get the gift.
She sat on a chair beside the bed. After returning from the Randall River Valley, she quickly returned to her normal life. Although she had to visit Shade every day, the Prophet Association was quite close to Shade, so it wouldn't be a big hassle.
"Although you said there would be side effects, you looked really scary the other day."
Luvia said as she wiped the washed apple with a towel, then gently scratched it with her finger, splitting the apple into two pieces. Then she scratched it again with her finger until the whole apple became eight pieces. She put the apple on the plate at the bedside, then stuck a toothpick into the apple, signaling Shade to eat it later.
"Compared to what I did, this side effect is completely acceptable... Luvia, can you give me some luck?"
Xia De, who had already opened the lid of the box on the bed, said, and the purple-eyed girl smiled and took his hand and kissed the back of his hand. Xia De then put his hand into the box:
“This is… huh?”
He took out a black ball of wool, was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the bedroom door:
"I can't knit a sweater either... Is this for me to use to amuse Mia?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Can't you feel the traces of the elements? This is the wool of Eris, or the wool of doom."
Luvia took the ball of yarn and examined it:
"Eris unicorns are dangerous alien creatures that live mostly in the southeastern part of the Old World. Our association has also raised a group of them. There are only black varieties of these sheep. Anyone whose palm is touched by their horns will fall into temporary bad luck. They are regarded as walking bad luck by people. Not only their horns, but in fact any part of their bodies can spread bad luck. After the death of this kind of sheep, the usable materials in the corpse will be strictly preserved, and the unusable materials need to be handled very professionally, sometimes even with the help of relics."
"And what is this wool good for?"
Xia De asked.
"Of course it's used to make curse-related alchemical items. To be honest, I've never seen so much wool before. This kind of wool is very expensive."
"Then take it away. Leave it with me. It would be bad if Mia took it and played with it."
Xia De waved his hands. He didn't want this weird material.
"Luckily, this week's task is to wear a sweater when going out, which is easy to accomplish."
"I've always wondered what the god who made the box thinks of you. These tasks are really childish."
The purple-eyed girl shook her head and carefully put away the ball of wool that was stained with bad luck:
"Let's get down to business. You fell ill so suddenly that Yin Luna hasn't been able to explain her changes to us since she returned to the local area. Also, you haven't found a place to put the door that the guardian gave you."
"On Monday, ask Yin Luna to come over and we'll deal with these things."
Shade said, and Luvia nodded:
"I wrote to Yin Luna. She has been quite free recently. Although she can't visit you often, she writes to you every day to ask about your situation."
As she spoke, Luvia helped Shade move the gift box off the bed and put it beside the bed, then picked up a toothpick and put the apple to Shade's mouth. Shade didn't want to be helped to eat, so the purple-eyed girl could only helplessly put the apple into her mouth and kissed Shade.
