Xia De actually looked forward to the God's gift box giving him some unexpected gifts in a certain week. For example, in a brand new week, he wanted to get a valuable blood directly from the gift box without any effort.
But the innocent Creator did not respond to Shad's desire and gave him a piece of cream cake as a gift this week.
Unfortunately, Shad was used to not looking, but reaching for the gifts directly to create a sense of anticipation for himself.
Therefore, when he stretched out his hand to grab the inside of the box and felt the soft touch, he immediately thought that he had grabbed some unspeakable substance... Fortunately, it was just a hand full of cream, which he ate as a midnight snack.
This made the cat very angry because Shade didn't give it any share.
This week, the only requirement was to donate at least half a pound to a child welfare facility, which was just a trip for Shad.
I sent a letter to Miss Carina on Monday morning, and in the afternoon, the carriage stopped downstairs of No. 6 Place Sainte-Teresa, and went to the Jodel Palace to meet the Duchess of Larousse III. I happened to have time to meet with Shad.
In the living room of his home, Shade told the witch all about his experience last night and wanted her to help check his eyes.
Logically speaking, all the damage suffered in the past would disappear after returning to the present time, but after he left the Time Corridor, the phenomenon of star-like lights appearing in his eyes caused by drinking the blood brew of the "Star Sea Whale" did not disappear at all.
This is probably because this phenomenon cannot be considered as harm.
"I know that."
After asking Shade to raise his head, holding his head, and looking down at his eyes closely, the witch suppressed her smile and gave the answer:
"The powerful witches of the Fifth Epoch had a habit of drinking potions made from the blood of 'Star Sea Whales' to cause this phenomenon in their eyes."
"Why? Does this increase strength?"
Although Xia De felt the power of the starry sky, he did not gain any power directly.
"No, because it's really pretty."
The witch sat down on the sofa again and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Just because those women wanted to be beautiful, the hunting of the astral whales in the Fifth Age caused those creatures between entities and astral bodies to greatly extend the time interval between their passage through the material world. You just said that the witch in the Fifth Age mentioned that the whales appeared every 300 years? No, no, it's not 300 years now. From the data that can be found at the end of the Fifth Age, the interval at that time was already 1,200 years. In the entire Sixth Age, there is only one record of astral whales appearing in the material world, which was more than 600 years in the universal calendar. And that time, it was a rare group appearance. This is all because of those women in the Fifth Age."
She snorted in dissatisfaction.
Shade felt that Miss Carina was not a whale protector, and her dissatisfaction was purely because she could not get the potion made from whale blood.
"So it was the witch I met who spread the effects of the Star Sea Whale's blood?"
"I don't know about that."
Miss Carina shook her head. She was dressed very formally today because she was going to the Yodel Palace to meet her nephew, the current king.
"So, does the parliament's information mention how to eliminate this?"
Shad pointed at his eyes, looking very annoyed. After taking the teacup handed to him by Tifa, he thanked her in a low voice.
"Although it can only be observed at close range, I dare not go out with this look on my face. The day after tomorrow, which is Wednesday, I have to participate in the rematch of the players in the big city."
"It cannot be eliminated actively. You can only wait for the potion, oh, it's the blood brew for you. You can only wait for the effect of the blood brew to subside on its own. But I don't know how the god dealt with the blood, nor do I know the dosage you drank, so I can't give you an answer."
The witch continued to speak with a smile, as if she found Shade's unhappy look amusing.
“But your eyes are really beautiful now.”
Tifa praised from the side, but this praise was completely unable to comfort Shad.
"Don't worry, based on your description, I think this condition will disappear in a week at most. If you want to go out and play cards, I'll have Tifa bring you some eye shadow that can change your eye color tomorrow and apply it on you."
This magical "eyeshadow" sounds like something the Witch Council could provide.
“That’s great.”
"Don't be too quick to be happy."
Miss Carina glanced at Tifa, and she took the other maids to the kitchen temporarily. Next, they were going to talk about the evil god. The weight of knowledge meant that ordinary people and low-level ring sorcerers had better not listen to it. If it weren't for talking to Carina, Shade couldn't even tell others about the cocktail party completely.
"If I had known this situation earlier, I shouldn't have given you the key. You actually attended the evil god's cocktail party. This is really..."
"It's okay. I've encountered more dangerous situations. The trouble now is just collecting two types of blood."
Xia De didn't feel any pressure:
"I will find this situation sooner or later if I go looking for the key myself. However, I hope you can help me collect some more detailed information about the god. Since the great man still exists today, I think there should be some information about the god's party that I can refer to."
"That's easy."
Miss Carina agreed:
"But how are you going to choose between those two types of blood?"
"After the Big City Players Competition is over, if I can win the championship, I will have another sum of money in my account. I originally planned to buy expensive defensive magic from the academy, but now I can use this money to buy blood."
Valuable blood is not necessarily very expensive, because not all blood is used as a raw material for potions. The most important thing for purchasing the two types of blood is not how many gold pounds he has, but how lucky he is. Of course, this does not mean that he does not prepare money. Shade, who originally did not take the championship of the big city players very seriously, is now determined to win the title of champion.
There is also two thousand pounds for the "Grey Eagle" mission.
"I need to think about this again. If I can avoid getting involved in this troublesome matter, I will try not to get involved."
"I'll keep an eye out for you, but I think you need to think carefully about the blood that will satisfy the blood-sucking god. Blood..."
The witch looked at Shade and fell into deep thought.
The maids returned to the living room. Shade asked Tifa for the small makeup mirror she always carried with her and looked at her own eyes in the mirror:
"It is indeed beautiful."
It's like there is a sea of stars in the eyes.
Is this narcissism
Her voice rang in my ears.
"Aren't you the one who knows best whether I am narcissistic or not?"
Shade said, looking into his eyes.
