The Whispering Verses Chapter 1285: Magic potion
Based on Shade's description alone, Miss Benanis was not enough to imagine what the statue looked like.
It happened that the toy Shade turned into a statue was still with him, so he restored it and let it stand in the director's office on the third floor of the Wilde Opera House.
Vanessa Benenice didn't take it seriously at first, but when she really saw the statue, she stood up immediately.
She surrounded the statue, carefully observed its details, and finally gave the most honest evaluation
"Now I understand why no one has been able to obtain the stonemason's inheritance for hundreds of years, but you solved the problem overnight. This is really... an absolute work of art. Although I don't understand why you don't let the statue With both arms, but matched with your old-fashioned style, it has a harmonious beauty that I can't describe in words."
This blonde witch not only knows opera and singing, but also knows a lot about literature and sculpture.
Shad is not proud of this. He just copied the statue in his memory. This is not his work, at least not entirely his work:
"I think this can be used as a birthday gift for the princess. It should be enough."
"When I was seventeen, no one gave me this kind of gift."
The blonde witch said half-complainingly, reaching out to touch the face of the statue, but she gave up after remembering that she was not wearing gloves.
She turned to look at Shade:
"You often tell me that you have not received any artistic training and have only a superficial understanding of art. It seems that you still haven't told me the truth."
This was a joke, not really blaming Shade, but Shade still explained:
"I didn't lie. I even thought that I would never lie unless I had to. Honesty and trustworthiness are probably the few qualities I think I have that will never change."
"This is the first time I heard someone commenting on myself like this."
"A small example can prove this. You have seen my cat, right? It is not actually my cat, it is just a cat that the client entrusted me to take care of. No matter how much I like Mia, no matter how much I hope that Mia can always live in my home, and I must obtain the consent of her owner, Miss Mia Gold, before doing so. This is keeping my promise."
"Her" laughter came to my ears, and Miss Benanis asked with great interest:
"Since you think you are a relatively honest person, then answer me, do you think I am beautiful, or Carina?"
"Beauty is a relative concept, just like it is impossible to evaluate whether an apple is beautiful or a banana is beautiful. I cannot give an answer. But in my opinion, you are all the second best in this world. Pretty lady."
On the corners of the blonde witch’s raised mouth, the subtle lip lines become more obvious:
"You are really good at talking. So answer me a question honestly. What did you do after you met Carina yesterday?"
Xia De looked up at her in surprise:
"Is this considered personal privacy?"
There is a shy smile in those red-gold eyes:
"How about satisfying my curiosity?"
…
"No, no, this is not only my own personal privacy, but also Miss Carina's. I am not the kind of person who will show off my affairs with the ladies everywhere... Besides, there is nothing worth showing off. ”
The eyes are getting closer and closer, and the distance between Miss Benanis and Shade has reached a dangerous level:
"Is that so?"
Shade could even smell the perfume as she spoke. It was still the "Witch's Smell" perfume, but the smell on Ms. Bernanise was closer to the smell of orange.
She came closer to her face and kissed Shade gently on the lips, and then her face turned red.
Xia De was a little surprised, and felt that this feeling was very familiar. This was not the first time that he had been forcefully kissed by a witch.
"This is to thank you for this."
She shook the figurine in her hand, then sat back down
I went back to the single sofa, but my eyes were averted, but I didn't look into Shade's eyes.
Xia De leaned back slightly, letting his weight rest on the back of the sofa, and shifted his gaze from the witch's face to the sunlight outside the window.
[This is probably the most innocent witch you have ever come into contact with. 】
"She" said softly, but Shade did not give any reply, and his thoughts had already drifted back to the day when he first came to this world more than half a year ago:
"How on earth did I become such a person?"
On Saturday afternoon, Dr. Schneider's clinic held its usual group meeting for the week. However, this time only Shade and the doctor attended the meeting. Priest Augustus was sent to preach in the countryside of Tobesk and would not be back until tomorrow morning, while Dorothy was called away by his father, Professor Louisa. The respected professor of literature planned to hold a kingdom-level literary forum salon in Tobesk in the name of the college in the spring, and he needed Dorothy's help.
However, even if there are only two people, the study meeting will be held as usual. Shade, who was holding a cat, and the middle-aged doctor who had been very idle recently told each other about the troubles of their lives, complaining about the recent increase in vegetable prices and the news that an "air clean tax" would be levied on all citizens. The money is to combat the air pollution problem that has become increasingly serious in Tobesk this winter.
"What have you been busy with in Randall Valley lately?"
The doctor asked Xia De about his recent itinerary, and Xia De sighed slightly:
"Doctor, I just need your help," he rummaged through his pocket and found the medal he and Luvia had found at the Masons' Guild on Thursday:
"Do you think there is demonic power here? I recently met a very strange person in the Randall Valley."
"Although I am sensitive to the power of demons, my nose is not omnipotent. Moreover, are the negative effects of [Night Watch] and [Demon Hunting Seal] so powerful? Why did you encounter the demon again? Last year For half a year, you encountered human pus, ancient flame demons, and demons of proliferating desire. This year, this is only the beginning of the second month."
Despite saying this, the doctor still held the tea cup in one hand and took the medal and looked at it:
"At least there is nothing wrong with it on the surface, but you are lucky. I have recently learned new potions from the knowledge of those demons. Wait a moment, I will get something."
…
So Shade sat on the sofa, broke the biscuits into pieces and fed them to the cat. Mia didn't like these biscuits very much, but because of Shade's feeding, she still ate them happily.
After the cat licked all the biscuit crumbs in Shade's hand, so that Shade had to go to the bathroom to wash his hands, the doctor came back with a black iron box.
Inside the box is a soft pad with grooves dug out, and four oak-stoppered glass test tubes of exactly the same size are placed inside. The test tubes contain a mercury-colored liquid:
"[Magic Potion] is very sensitive to demonic power and is used to detect whether mortals are contaminated with demonic power. You also know that the corruption of demons is usually very hidden. As for why there is a special detection of demons in demon knowledge The magic potion formula of strength, because the devil is the natural enemy of the devil."
"I understand, people say that peers are the biggest enemies.
Hearing Shade’s words, the doctor laughed:
"Don't talk nonsense."
His finger pressed directly on one of the test tubes, and the mercury-colored liquid in the test tube boiled as if it was about to explode. If the doctor hadn't just touched it and then removed his hand, Shade believed that the test tube would not be saved.
"This [magic potion] is very sensitive. It can not only be dropped on items or skin, but also drinkable. It is said to be cherry-flavored, but unfortunately I dare not drink it, otherwise I will get a stomachache."
The doctor said regretfully, motioning to Shade to stretch out his hand, then put on gloves and opened the cork, sucked a drop of liquid with a dropper and dropped it on Shade's hand. After the liquid came into contact with Shade's skin, it actually emitted a very weak light.
"In addition to the power of the devil, this potion can also detect the possibility of the soul being corrupted by the devil. Of course, you cannot make a judgment based on the potion alone. You need to demonstrate it from many aspects. This can only be a preliminary
Judgment. The glow of the magic potion means that your mind is strong, full of energy, strong willpower, and the possibility of being corrupted by demons is low. ”
As the doctor explained, seeing Shade holding the cat's right front paw, he sucked in another drop of liquid. Mia is an orange and white cat, and the four little paws of this cat are completely snow-white. At this time, she was hugged by Shade's left hand, and her little paw was held by his right hand, and she felt very uncomfortable. He had to break free, but unfortunately the cat's strength was not as strong as Shade's.
The liquid also dripped on the cat's paw, and then glowed even brighter than before:
"Look, your cat is even less likely to be corrupted by the devil than you are. Judging from my knowledge, this cat can simply be called a "holy cat"."
The doctor joked.
"So, Mia's soul strength is higher than mine?"
Shade looked at the cat licking its paws suspiciously, and his big amber eyes also looked at Shade angrily, dissatisfied that his hair was wet.
"Of course not. Your cat has a peaceful and simple personality, and has much fewer distracting thoughts than you. In addition, you also said that it is suspected of having low extraordinary abilities, so the possibility of being corrupted by demons is extremely low. To sum up, we should calm down our mentality, not pursue too much material enjoyment, and learn to look at the world peacefully..."
The doctor said casually, and sucked out another drop of liquid, this time dropping it on the medal placed on the coffee table.
The mercury-colored liquid fell, and there was no reaction for the first two seconds. Then the mercury-colored liquid droplets turned slightly black on the metal surface, and the color was no longer so bright.
The doctor was stunned:
"What? Is he really a demon?"
"Didn't I say from the beginning that it might be a demon?"
"But how could I believe that you have such bad luck?"
Only being told by the doctor that he had "bad luck" would make Shade feel weird.
