Chapter 3592 A Warm Voice
Galina and Luvia were already aware of Shad's plans, so they didn't say anything about it.
Instead, Dorothy pursed her lips and hesitated before saying:
"Perhaps this miracle can be used for other things. It's not that Lacia and I can't meet at all. We are already quite satisfied with the current situation."
She wasn't just being polite to Xia De, or trying to appear reserved in front of the other two people at the table; she genuinely thought this way:
"We know how precious this opportunity is, so instead of using it on us, use it on yourself. Even if this miracle isn't needed for the final battle at the end of the Alpha Munster story, you can use this opportunity to learn about your lost past."
Or perhaps acquiring a powerful artifact wouldn't be bad, like one that permanently increases luck when worn. Isn't Luvia making ink? We can wait for that—this is a thought shared by Lacey and me.”
Galina was quite pleased that her grandniece was sometimes quite sensible. Seeing that Shad still wanted to argue with Dorothy about it, Luvia said to him:
"Shad, hand me the salt shaker. But speaking of special ink, Shad's words have given me some inspiration. Ink research has almost stalled; I'll try it after obtaining the [Stadium of Fate]."
She noticed that Xia De suddenly looked at her, and quickly changed her tune:
"I didn't use that relic; I just got inspiration from it. I added snake blood to a new formula, which allowed the ink to leave a mark on the snake slough for a certain period of time, but it still wasn't the effect I wanted."
Now it seems perhaps I used the wrong snake blood. The real snake blood I need to add is the kind worth 20 points. Although I don't know the specific effects, Shad, next time you have the chance to access the temple, try to get some snake blood.”
Compared to consuming all points, 20 points is a negligible amount.
Shad nodded. As for what he would ultimately do with that miracle, that was up to him.
Now that clues have emerged for the remaining four acts of the seven-act story, and the four acts are moving forward together, the story on the island might come to an end next week—that's an optimistic estimate.
The appearance of "Mr. Snake" not only prompted the church to officially dispatch a large force to the island, but also the academy's research team was invited to prepare for departure.
The news that the elves had decided to hold the crowning ceremony for the Elf King in the snowy mountains had spread throughout the material world, and many ancient races that had not appeared for many years would gather on the island.
Even the Witch Council, after receiving reports from the three great witches on the island regarding "Mr. Snake" and the temple, decided to officially launch an operation. That evening, when Galina returned from her meeting, Shad was still learning the silver flute under Dorothy's tutelage. She told Shad:
"His Excellency the Speaker has instructed Vanessa, Bella, and Flora to arrive at Fatummont Island next week. Grandma Cassandra and Sylvia will arrive a little later, but Sylvia can come to the island to help at any time, so a slight delay is not a problem."
"how about you?"
Dorothy asked, and Galina shook her head regretfully:
“Sylvia was a little later, partly because the war was approaching. As Margaret’s private tutor and physician, and with such a large business in Willendale, she had a lot to deal with. It is said that the Carsonrick military has already taken notice of the military applications of her new products.”
"I feel the same way. With spring drawing ever closer, not only the residents along the border, but even the people of Tobesk are feeling the restlessness. As a duke, it's difficult for me to leave Tobesk for long, and His Excellency the Speaker understands, telling me to finish what I'm doing before I depart."
Shad recalled a conversation he had with his neighbor, Mr. Smith, about the gas bill a few mornings ago:
"It's alright, you can handle the political affairs in Tobesko. I'll call you if needed."
Galina nodded gently and hugged Shad:
“I will definitely make time for it. The Speaker said that if there is a real need for manpower, she can also help.”
"This"
Luvia, who already knew the truth about "Miss Saber," found it amusing:
"She can go if she wants to. As the leader of the Witch Council, she has indeed missed many major events."
"But what if she sees Shad?"
The purple-eyed fortune teller stretched out his right hand and clenched it tightly in front of him:
"Of course, we should have Shad grab her and see if she can be an exception since none of you are willing to let go."
That night, Dorothy transferred the seven murals from the temple that Shad had recorded using the [Library of the Moon] onto paper using "reading and writing," allowing Luvia to perform divination and study them.
She will depart for Fatumunst Island next Monday, hoping to use the remaining time before leaving to provide Shad with some clues. Once on the island, although the association will not restrict the fortune tellers' freedom, it won't be easy for them to simply run off to find Shad.
"Let's leave the [Stadium of Destiny] at home for now. I'll send it to the ship from home if needed."
Shad said that although Luvia was reluctant to part with her newly acquired "treasure," she had no choice but to agree.
That evening, as the girls went to wash up, Shad, who was waiting for them on the sofa, saw Tifa and asked her:
"Suppose, I mean suppose, a maid takes my hand and makes me touch her face, what would that mean?"
The beautiful, black-haired head maid frowned slightly, and instead of answering the question, asked:
"Who is so ignorant of the rules?"
"No, no, she's not one of Tobesk's maids."
She then asked:
"So she's one of Matilda's girls? I'll talk to her about it next time."
Shade shook his head again:
"It wasn't a maid from Moon Bay. It was, well, it was Miss Winnie."
Tifa then understood, and the slight sternness in her eyes faded:
"I see. So, does ice feel cold to the touch?"
"She asked that question too."
Dorothy was next door, Luvia went to the third floor, and Tifa glanced in the direction of the restrooms before reaching out and hugging Shad. Then she gently pushed Shad away and took his hand, but not on his cheek, but somewhere slightly lower.
The gentle touch was indeed very nice, she said in a low voice:
"Can you feel the frequency of my heartbeat? You see, her problem and my problem are roughly the same."
Now Shad understood completely, but after hesitating for a moment, he said:
"I can't feel it, you know, it's too far away."
【lie.】
Tifa smiled gently; she was equally satisfied with this answer.
"That's it"
She reached up and untied the black ribbon bow at her collar, then undid a few more buttons. She checked the time, then pointed towards the bedroom.
"Since you can't feel it, then listen carefully—can you hear the frequency at which my heart beats for you?"
The sound of that heartbeat was so comforting.
Of course, to avoid being smelled of his perfume afterward, Shad barged into the bathroom before Galina could leave. The Duchess complained a few times, then happily let him come underwater as well:
"Even though I said I wanted to be the first one here, you didn't have to be in such a hurry. Am I that charming?"
(Mia is running.)
Perhaps because she was in a good mood, after getting up early Saturday morning, even though the breakfast prepared by the maids had already been served, Galina insisted on frying an egg for Shad.
"How about we change to something simpler? Like, we can heat up some goat milk for the cat."
"Dorothy" asked with a smile, and it was definitely Lacey who spoke like that.
"Lacia, don't underestimate me."
The red-haired witch opened her arms, allowing the maid to tie an apron around her neck, before following Tifa, who looked slightly nervous, into the kitchen. Shad had gone upstairs to check on the "Moonburn" ritual while she spoke, so he hadn't heard her. When Shad returned to the third floor, the fried eggs were already prepared.
Galina didn't let Dorothy and Luvia tell Shad about it. Instead, she put the egg directly on Shad's plate to see his reaction.
Shad didn't notice at first, but when he ate the egg, Galina looked over immediately.
Xia De hesitated for a moment:
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered something. It's alright, you can continue eating."
Shad didn't pay any attention and ate the egg. After the last bite was gone, Galina asked again:
"How does it taste?"
Luvia and Dorothy both suppressed their laughter. Although Shad didn't know the cause and effect, at this moment, only Mia at the table probably couldn't guess the truth of the matter.
He thought for a moment:
"The taste is normal. Although it's a bit different from the maids' cooking, it reminds me of things before I met you. Back then, I was learning to cook on my own. This taste gives me a nostalgic feeling of home."
Galina was initially very happy, especially when she heard about "the feeling of home," but she quickly realized what was going on:
"Are you saying that my cooking isn't as good as Tifa's?"
Lacey thought the question was quite boring; the maids were all professionals, and there was no need to compare cooking skills with them.
Shad points out:
"In terms of skill, it's certainly not as good, but isn't there, well, to put it in a more cliché way, a lot of love in this egg?"
Luvia and Lacia genuinely laughed, and Galina was also very satisfied. She didn't really care whether her cooking was better than the maids'; as long as Shad could feel her sincerity, that was enough.
Today is Saturday. Considering that he has a meeting in the afternoon and there is nothing else to do on the island for the time being, Shad decided to wait until evening to go to Kyle Todd town for a look.
He had originally planned to go to Luvia's apartment in the morning to help her pack her luggage before she left, but Luvia declined Shad's offer.
"It's a rare day off, you should stay home. Dorothy can go help me. See you at the doctor's this afternoon, Shad."
