The boat was quickly driven by Shade at the stern, avoiding the ice floes on the water and heading in the direction it came from.
Miss Bister curled up shivering, opened her mouth and breathed into her hands. She also missed the bonfire, and just when she felt that the temperature of her body was returning to normal, she noticed Wilder sitting opposite.
The young lady seemed to be in a trance, so she asked curiously:
"Miss Wilder, are you okay?"
The dragon witch seemed to have realized what had happened, and subconsciously wanted to see Shade again, but her face turned red and she stopped turning her head:
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Mr. Hamilton's transformation skills to be so superb. The dragon he just transformed into was really amazing."
She wanted to say "handsome" but was embarrassed, so she temporarily changed her words to:
“It’s really realistic.”
Because there were a lot of ice floes on the water nearby, Shade chose the channel very carefully and did not participate in the girls' discussion for the time being.
Iluna, who didn't look cold at all, immediately said:
"Of course, the dragon that Shade transformed into is the most handsome dragon I have ever seen."
She said what the dragon witch was embarrassed to say, and the gray wolf girl immediately nodded:
"Yes, yes, I have seen many dragons, but the dragon transformed into 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 Wild corrected her immediately, but she was still thinking about the appearance of the "Moonlight Dragon" she had just seen at a glance. So she carefully changed the topic to the encounter in the tower just now, and did not want to talk about dragons with them anymore.
, but in fact, out of the corner of his eye, he had been quietly looking at Shade who was punting the boat at the stern.
She is different from Fiona. She is a pure-blood dragon, so although her aesthetics is mainly human, she has not given up the aesthetics of dragons. And Shade, whether in human form or dragon form, is that
A type that will never be disliked by any dragon girl.
In other words, for pure-blooded dragon girls, he is completely "one person can fulfill two wishes".
"Teacher, I have met an amazing 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 immediately stood by the fire.
She stood up to greet them, looking quite worried:
"I saw a bright light in the distance just now. That is the direction you are going. What did you encounter?"
"A very difficult enemy, who was finally defeated by Miss Wilder and Shade."
Iluna said, and everyone who had gone out quickly returned to the bonfire. After feeling the warmth of the bonfire, 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 few people who went out sat down after drying the water on their bodies, and Shade also released little Mia. Everyone seemed uninjured, but the spirit here was difficult to recover, so the spirit consumed in the battle just now,
This made both the gray wolf and the green dragon, who were already in poor condition, feel a little uncomfortable.
After a short rest, Iluna and the Gray Wolf girl described together how the enemy suddenly appeared and then froze the water. Although the four people outside did not know what it was, Miss Metz just
You will know after listening to the simple description:
"Why does this kind of thing appear here? That is the [Heartless Demon]. Legend has it that in the Arctic ice cap of the North Continent, there are countless sources of terrible plagues and parasites that existed in ancient times, called 'Heartless Demons'.
'The evil thing is one of them. This kind of bug is similar to the water element life. It will parasitize in the living body, freezing the host's soul and body until it is transformed into what you just saw."
Although Miss Metz cannot explain the specific origin and parasitic principle of that insect, in short, it is really dangerous:
"It seems that if we need to go out again, we must be more careful."
"Parasites, I hate them the most."
The green dragon girl said softly, and when everyone looked at her, she explained:
"I work as a maid, and if someone finds out there are bugs in the area I clean, I will be laughed at for a whole year."
As she spoke, she quietly wanted to look at Shade again, and then suddenly noticed the sharp eyes of the cat in Shade's arms.
Although "sharp" is not the right word to describe the cute kitten's eyes, Green Dragon always felt that the cat was looking at her, which made her feel guilty.
But no matter what, at least the purpose of this outing was achieved perfectly. Iluna's "Glorious Sun" and Miss Wilder's "Delicate Black Tea and Dessert Making" have both been marked with holy symbols by the gods, and they have done both.
Prepare for teaching.
It’s just that Shade doesn’t have much time left this time, and he will have plenty of time to learn from Iluna. The other girls can also learn from Iluna while Shade is away, so Shade asked the Green Dragon Witch if
You can try teaching now.
"sure."
The dragon girl who was warming herself by the fire then stood up:
"You brought enough tea leaves, 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 lightly:
"You have all seen me making black tea, but I am also good at making snacks. It's just that the conditions here are limited, and it is not convenient to start making snacks from flour. But in fact, for a qualified dragon maid, the secrets contained in black tea and snacks
, is not inferior to potions and decoctions.”
She pinched out a small handful of the black tea leaves that Shade had brought in a small bag:
"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 casting materials, you can make some special tea leaves that are similar to magic potions in a short time.
I saw it when I went into the water."
This refers to the tea leaves she has provided to several people that can be used for underwater sensing and communication:
"What I want to teach you this time is similar abilities."
She put the handful of tea leaves back, and then piled all the tea bags that Shade had brought together:
"Giving special effects to tea also involves some theories of transformation. We are just trying to teach this time, so we won't go into too much. As we all know, delicious black tea and delicious snacks will make people feel happy, and the soul
Relaxation will affect the soul, which in turn affects the recovery of the ether.
Since the logic of the theory is smooth, you can try to restore the ether through the secret method of 'chewing tea leaves'. The book calls this secret method the 'tea extraction method'. Although this method of restoring ether does not restore much
, but it might be useful in key battles.”
Since it is a rare spell that can actively restore the spirit, even if the recovery is small, it is still worth learning for Shade.
So everyone watched Miss Wilder skillfully use the "pinching" method to take out different types of tea leaves from the tea bags and put them into the teapot. While taking the tea leaves, she also read the requirements on the books flying around her.
The amount of tea leaves makes it look like a maid cooking while reading the recipe.
After taking the tea leaves, she did not fill the teapot with water, but carved extremely complex ritual patterns on the surface of the teapot. Finally, she let the teapot fly and breathed out a mouthful of flames to wrap the teapot in it. After the flames activated the ritual carvings
After the traces were removed, he recited the mantra with some words.
After the process was over, she took out the mixed warm tea leaves and put a handful in each person's hand. Little Mia thought it was something to eat and sniffed it curiously.
Then he moved his little head away in disgust.
Miss Wilder smiled at it, feeling that her guilty conscience just now was really inexplicable:
"Now put them in your mouth and chew them slowly, being careful not to swallow them."
Although the black tea tastes good, the taste of chewing the tea leaves is certainly not good, but everyone still did it. The cat even tugged on Shade's hand twice, as if to stop him from doing so.
However, Shade noticed that Iluna looked very cute when chewing tea leaves, and her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.
As for Shade himself, he felt an obvious bitterness from the beginning. The dry, slightly herbal smell made him think that he was chewing plant fiber.
The tea leaves tasted hard and had a strong astringency when chewed. After chewing for a while, he vaguely noticed a slight sweetness, but the bitter taste was too strong, so he didn't know if this was an illusion.
"Okay, now that you have gotten used to the taste of tea, let's meditate together. Yes, it's the same as when Miss Bister taught last time."
The green dragon girl herself chewed tea leaves and sat down, sitting on Shade's right hand:
"But our meditation does not require imagining a specific scene. Now you have to chew tea leaves and experience the feeling of happiness. Everyone's happiness is different, so I won't paint a picture for you. You have to have your own unique ideas."
Beautiful green eyes swept across the crowd by the fire:
"Try to find that moment of happiness from the sweetness of the tea leaves. If you succeed, then the 'tea extraction method' will also be successful."
Because she didn't have enough casting materials before, she actually hasn't mastered this special secret method yet - last time the werewolf girl just taught everyone meditation, but she didn't expect Shade to learn the transformation technique. Therefore, she was not only teaching everyone, but she was also teaching herself
study.
So everyone stopped talking, but chewed tea together, but the frequency was slightly different. The girls chewed very elegantly and did not make strange sounds, so the crackling sound of the campfire where everyone sat around became even louder.
It's obvious.
PS: Some readers in the previous chapters pointed out that Fiona left her scent on Shade when she was in "Eternal Night City", why did Miss Wilder not smell it this time?
Because the smell is not permanent, the last time she followed Miss Feliana to Shade's house, she did not dare to leave the smell again.
Moreover, after experiencing the Battle of Moon Bay, Shade came into contact with the "Unknown First Son" and the "Fourth Son", and Fiona's aura was also covered.
