Chapter 3157 House Expansion
Shad didn't know about the conversation that Willendel had, and he wasn't very sorry that Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't give the "gift". After all, yesterday was the funeral of Margaret's sister, and it was really not appropriate to do that kind of thing.
As for returning home after losing the crystal shoes, after Shad saw the cat running downstairs to greet him, the second person he saw was not Luvia, but Karina, who was sitting on the sofa on the second floor with an unhappy look on her face.
The maids were busy at home. Tifa was just bending over to put the tea tray on the tea table. When she heard Shad's footsteps coming up the stairs, she turned around and smiled at him who appeared at the door.
After Shade sat on the sofa, the red-haired witch immediately came over and sniffed, staring into his eyes with her golden eyes:
"Young witches taste good, right?"
"Sylvia told you? Wait, I just separated from her thirty seconds ago, how could she be faster than me?"
Xia De was very surprised. Jialina snorted and pointed her finger at his chest:
"Of course Luvia told me this morning at breakfast. Even though I already knew that Sylvia had guessed it, I was still unhappy to see my cookie being bitten by someone else again."
She obviously wanted Xia De to coax her gently, but Xia De protested first:
"Can you please stop calling me Biscuit?"
"Then what should I use? A big incense stick?"
There was a bang in the kitchen, and it seemed that the dinner plate of Shade's family was broken. The frightened cat jumped from his knees to Shade's arms, and Jialina looked towards the kitchen unhappily, and then signaled Tifa to scold him.
"You should just call me Biscuit."
Before a worse name could be used, Shad chose to compromise, but Carina didn't really want to call him that:
"My knight, you are not a cookie, you are my love."
She took the place in Shade's arms from Mia:
"You now know eight witches. Including Sylvia, you have already captured four of them. I want to see the remaining four."
"Three, don't count Granny Cassandra."
"Yes, yes. There are still Bella, Xiwei and our owl left. I want to see who will be the next one."
After saying that, he stood up and reached out to pull Xia De up as well:
"Come on, follow me to the bedroom. The smell of Sylvia's perfume on you is too strong. In order to prevent you from being poisoned, I will help you suppress it."
"It's daytime now."
"Shad, are you someone who cares about day or night?"
Karina came to visit because the recent human trafficking case had come to an end and she could finally have some free time.
Moreover, she had not been very close to Shade since she was urgently recalled from Saradir County, so she brought the maids to visit No. 6 St. Teresa's Square this Friday morning.
"I didn't come to you just for this matter. I also came to you for the matter of your family's expansion space."
During lunch, the red-haired witch was still defending herself. If she was not only wearing a nightgown and her hair was wet, her words would be more convincing.
Apart from some strange items handed down from ancient times, the only way for the material world to expand space stably now is relics. However, anyone with some sense would not choose to let relics affect their own houses. In addition, this is the city center, so methods with too drastic element fluctuations cannot be used, so there are not many means left.
"I said when we were in the woods that we should find a way to create a permanent passage connecting this house to my estate. This is the simplest and safest method, but since Vanessa and the others said that I was abusing my power for personal gain, I had to think of another way."
She sat across the table, cutting a steak and said to Shade, "We had to eat some meat to replenish our energy after exercising so hard this morning."
"Later, Xiwei said that she had heard mermaids talk about a conch house technology. If you keep conches in fish tanks and put them in your home, you can create a huge space inside the conch. In this way, even if the house itself is not big enough, some people can move into the conch to live.
So Flora suggested that Xiwei should live in the fish tank first, but she wanted to live in the bedroom of the house, so this method was also rejected. "
"After I defeated the dead apostle Bronte in the woods, I also got a coffin with a certain amount of space inside. Obviously, no one would be willing to live in it."
Xia De nodded. He knew that his house was a little strange, and he was not sure whether ordinary means could affect the interior space of the house. The expansion of the third floor to Room 3 was thanks to the power of the space chosen ones:
"So what was the plan you came up with in the end? Did you end up going back to the relics?"
"Yes, but to be more precise, it is a derivative of the relic, and the impact will be minimized as much as possible. There are currently three options to choose from, and you will make the final decision."
She motioned for Tifa to bring the file bag. As the maid placed the file in front of Shade's plate and rubbed Shade's leg with her leg, Carina briefly explained:
“First, the Sage-level relic [Flesh and Blood Decoration Team] is a relic that exists in a group, similar to the Sage-level relic [Darkmoon Circus] you encountered in Green Lake.
The number of members of the [Flesh and Blood Renovation Team] is not fixed each time it appears. Generally, it fluctuates between 4 and 28 people. Among them, there are definitely special individuals who call themselves "Captain Matthews", "Accountant Smith", and "Designer Johnson". By paying the flesh and blood of any animal or human body, they can renovate the house. The renovated house is generally regarded as a derivative of the relic.
Spatial alienation, house revitalization, and overall relocation are all possible, and adding special abilities to buildings is even easier.
However, the houses they renovated would have blood seeping from the walls, floors, and ceilings, and every year there was a chance of being invaded by a unique infernal creature called the Blood Demon. Giving the renovation team precious flesh and blood could slightly offset this negative trait, but it was said that this would leave an indispellable bloody smell in the house.
She saw Xia De craning his neck to read the materials:
"The Council has mastered the method of safely summoning the [Flesh and Blood Decoration Team]. If you agree, we can have them start work immediately."
"What about other options? Are there any that won't affect the environment?"
"Yes, the second option is the Keeper-level relic [Corridor Curse]. This is a phenomenon-type relic that usually appears in places that can form a 'corridor' structure. The curse causes the place to experience a spatial loop phenomenon.
The space loop is of course a big problem, but the appearance of this phenomenon also means that a certain floor of this house has been infinitely replicated. However, as long as the number of space loops is controlled and the curse is removed, making the space loop a simple abnormal phenomenon unrelated to the whispering element, this method can be considered safe. "
"Um"
Xia De looked at the records of the accidents caused by the [Corridor Curse]. The minor accident was of course the disappearance of people, and the most serious accident was some inexplicable paradox in the space cycle, which directly tore a piece out of the space of the material world and caused its permanent annihilation.
"What about the third type?"
Xia De continued to ask, and the Duchess wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief very elegantly:
"The third method was provided by Siris. It is a unique relic in the possession of the Forsaken, the [Core of the Old Ones]. This relic has no record of being contained in other forces, and the Forsaken believe that it can be considered angel-level.
The 'core' is implanted in the mind of an individual, and then the individual's memories of childhood or familiar scenes will materialize in reality along with dreams.
Do you miss the tree-lined avenues you walked on as a child, do you remember the long road you walked under the shade of trees on the embankment on a hot summer day, do you still remember the street scene of the old streets in your hometown at dusk? "
The Duchess shook her head:
"Anyway, I don't have these experiences. This is what Hillis said. In short, the [Core of the Old Days] will make such scenes materialize, and they don't occupy real space. Hillis said that they are phantoms that exist in the past, and they exist in the mind, but they can indeed live. So the relic derivatives were born, and new "Core of the Old Days" can be harvested from them.
If you really have such deep feelings for the corridors and stairs of this house, maybe you can use the [Core of the Ancients]. "
"Angel level. Then what are the negative effects?"
Xia De also wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stopped eating, but Mia was eating happily. The maids began to remove the plates and bring the desserts. Carina sighed slightly:
"Yes, after all, it is an angel level. If your thoughts are too profound, at the moment you confuse reality with the past, it only takes a moment for the 'nuclear' to take effect, and everything in the real world around you will be dragged into your 'old dream'. Hillis said that once this accident happens, it cannot be reversed.
Everything will melt into your memory in your melancholy and nostalgia for the old days, until you, as the carrier of memory, become a part of that inseparable memory, blending into the dusk, the small town, or the shade of the trees on a hot summer day.
That old dream will materialize again at this time, attached to the back of the material world in the form of an abnormal space, waiting for others to enter like a trap. "
"These Sirius and the others actually have such dangerous relics? Well, this plan is actually not particularly good."
Shade said, and Carina was not surprised by this answer:
"Most relics have various negative effects. If we use rituals to cast spells, it will be difficult to hide the fluctuations of elements and spirits from the reconnaissance rituals set up by the church in the city. Digging a basement downwards, I'm afraid no one would want to live in a place with poor lighting; building a tower upwards, Tobesk has a rule that the highest floor of a building cannot be higher than the top floor of the side tower of the Yodel Palace."
Xia De said apologetically:
"I've asked for too many things. How about I think about the relic again? Or ask Luvia for divination?"
