Chapter 267 Isolde's Tears
When Aiwas got the autograph and was about to leave, he ran into Yulia in the corridor.
"elder brother!"
She opened her eyes slightly, rushed over like a little cannonball, bumped into Aiwass's arms, and hugged Aiwass tightly.
The girl rubbed against Aiwas's arms like a kitten, and her warm breath made Aiwas feel a little itchy.
"Don't be like this, Yulia."
Aiwass said helplessly, "You should be thankful that I took a shower and didn't come here reeking of blood mixed with the scent of essential oils... otherwise I would have suffocated you to death."
——Originally, I was worried that the old griffin would be fume.
"It just smells like bath powder."
Yulia muttered softly.
She raised her head and said expectantly, "Brother, I can make bath powder too... Can you use the one I made later?"
"OK."
Aiwass teased, "I'll switch to yours when I get back. If it works, I'll ask Her Majesty the Queen if she can switch to your bath powder for the entire palace."
Bath powder, similar to the shower gel of this era, was an alchemical product.
When added to the water, it transforms the bathtub water into a bubbly, finely foamed water. It doesn't lather like shower gel, but it can be used for both bathing and soaking. It helps cleanse the body while conserving water.
Probably the only downside is that it doesn't smell very nice...it has a distinct sulfur smell that takes a while to dissipate.
"Then don't wait until you get back! I have a batch right now - remember to take it with you, brother!"
As Yulia said this, she dragged Aiwass back to her room.
Perhaps because she sometimes did alchemical experiments, her room wasn't as close to Isabel as Aiwass's. Aiwass's room was only a corridor away from Isabel, less than three minutes' walk from her.
But Isabel and Yulia's rooms are basically mirror-symmetrical... It can be said that even if her room explodes, Isabel will not be hurt.
Yulia had been busy with alchemy lessons. Aiwass didn't want to disturb her, and he didn't know when she was in her room, so he didn't come to see her.
When he saw Yulia's room, he felt that it was quite consistent with his impression - although No. 14 Ronin Street was attacked, causing many of the alchemical equipment in Yulia's room to be damaged and unusable.
But now her batch of alchemical equipment is even more complete!
Not only that, but they also look a lot more expensive.
Although Aiwass knew nothing about alchemical equipment.
But this is like the difference between a top-notch graphics card with a luxurious water cooler with a light bar and a graphics card from two generations ago with air cooler - the kind of price difference that can be seen with the naked eye.
"These were given to me by my teacher."
Yulia said proudly: "For example, this crucible, this is..."
She subconsciously wanted to explain and show off to Aiwass.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she quickly realized that Aiwass was very busy today, so she restrained her excitement and interrupted her topic directly.
She packed up a large stack of powder, divided into tea-bag-sized portions, and handed it to Aiwass.
I also picked out a set of medicine for Aiwass. This was a row of test tubes with a rack that could be fixed in the suitcase.
"These are the best potions I've made in a while. I'm keeping them all."
Yulia's eyes sparkled as she pointed and introduced, "These three bottles are vitality potions, which can speed up the recovery of vitality. They are specially prepared for you. This bottle is snake venom ointment, which is very effective and highly toxic. It can be applied to weapons and is a neurotoxin. This bottle is hemostatic powder. I specially added herbs to prevent scarring. If you want to save mana, you can give them this. The effect is similar."
"This is the Feather Fall Potion. Drinking it will reduce your weight to one-sixth. Besides preventing falls, it will also allow you to jump higher and run faster!
"This is a petrification potion. Drinking it will turn you to stone. If you're poisoned, you can use it to save yourself. You can also give it to others to drink, or just throw it at them. Anyone splashed with it will also be petrified.
"This bottle is for removing petrification ointment... I didn't make this. My teacher said petrification potions are very dangerous and must be used with a petrification-removing potion, so I put it in here too."
Yulia jumped up and down excitedly, looking at Aiwass with anticipation: "How is it?"
"That's amazing, Yuri."
Aiwass smiled and patted her head, encouraging her, "You have now advanced to the second level. I'm sure you will be able to make even better alchemical concoctions in the future."
Although these medicines from Yulia were of no use to Aiwass... he still decided to take them with him.
This is also Yulia's heart.
Yulia opened the suitcase and placed the potion inside. "Look, brother! I also prepared some clothes for you..."
"...Lily will take care of this, Yuri."
Aiwass was a little helpless.
He could tell at a glance that Yulia wanted to fill Aiwass with potions. However, she felt the suitcase was too empty, so she simply filled it with clothes and other miscellaneous items.
Aiwass even saw Yulia's favorite puppet, "Mr. Dad." This strange cult doll that looked like a rabbit and a bear was also stuffed in by Yulia.
"If I go, it might cause more trouble, so let Mr. Dade go instead of me."
Yulia smiled brightly.
She paused, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh yeah... and this. I almost forgot."
As Yulia spoke, she took out an exquisite jewelry box from her suitcase.
Aiwass opened it and found a silver necklace with a teardrop-shaped emerald pendant.
This is exactly the necklace that Isabel usually wears to school!
"This is what Sister Isabel asked me to put in you."
Yulia explained, "She said she was lending it to you personally... because if she gave it to you as a gift, she was worried you wouldn't want it."
Aiwass gently touched the teardrop-shaped emerald and seemed to feel some warmth from it.
It wasn't an illusion. It was indeed emitting a slight warmth, slightly higher than Aiwass's body temperature.
When Aiwass touched the necklace, a light curtain unfolded before Aiwass's eyes:
Isolde's Tears
【Extraordinary Equipment (Dark Purple)】
【Accessories-Necklace】
[Extraordinary Feature: When receiving a fatal injury, there is a 50% chance to reduce the injury by half (only once)]
[Extraordinary Characteristics: When seriously injured, there is a 50% chance that the injury will stop getting worse for one hour each hour.]
[Spell: Holy Healing (only for females, once a day)]
[Required: Light 3]
【Instant, contact, effective immediately】
"—These are Isolde's tears. Whose tears are they?"
This thing was so valuable that it made Aiwas stunned for a moment.
"...Is it something so valuable?"
There was no doubt that this was something Queen Sophia had given to Isabel to protect her from death—it was not something that could be loaned out casually, even if Aiwass was the incoming Minister without Portfolio.
Although it is only dark purple, it is probably more valuable to the royal family than gold equipment.
Moreover, its most important effect would become ineffective after being triggered once. Even if it was only loaned to Aiwass, if Aiwass actually triggered this effect, its value would be greatly reduced.
But Aiwass also knew that if he really returned this thing... Isabel would probably be sad.
So he simply hung the necklace around his neck.
Although this is a women's necklace, it is surprisingly not ugly.
Aiwass put the jewelry box into the suitcase and said to Yulia, "Thank Isabel for me."
"Okay~"
Yulia put her hands behind her back and spoke in a long, meaningful tone.
And the other side.
Haina had already woken up from a nap in the car.
The train was so slow that Haena felt she could easily outrun it. Perhaps its only advantage was that it saved her energy.
Because the carriage was shaking, she didn't sleep well.
Haena, who woke up by the window, yawned, took out the kettle and took a sip.
"—Is it wine?"
Just then, someone spoke to her from the opposite side.
"It's water, sir."
Haena glanced at him and replied politely.
He was a man with a very distinctive appearance - not handsome nor ugly, but very impressive.
He was a man as skinny as a rotten tree.
He was nearly two meters tall, his back slightly hunched, and his black hair, which fell below his shoulders, was like wet seaweed, tangled in small curls.
——Wild elf?
Haina was guessing the other person's identity in her heart, but she was polite and didn't show it.
"I was thinking... a young inspector like you wouldn't drink alcohol so early in the morning."
The man smiled and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Are you going to Muwan County too?"
He has a nice voice, Haena thought.
Calm and elegant, revealing a good upbringing. That tone reminded Haina of Inspector General Edward.
"Yes, I'm from Muwan County."
Haena answered readily.
But for some reason, she always felt a little wary.
It was completely different from the first time she met Aiwass - then her common sense told her that Aiwass was problematic, but her subconscious kept telling her that Aiwass was harmless; but now she could not see any problems with the man at all, but her instinct kept reminding her that this person was suspicious and dangerous.
"What is your occupation?"
Haena asked reflexively.
As soon as she said this, she realized she was being a bit rude: "Sorry...it's a professional habit."
"It's okay. There's nothing I can't tell you."
The noble man who looked like a wild elf smiled gently: "My name is Yeats, and I'm a poet."
