Chapter 40: Awakening 1
Water is rising in the bathroom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Countess Elija had been driving all day, and as soon as she entered, she took off her white pajamas, her plump and towering breasts looming in the mist, she reached out to test the temperature of the water, and then lifted her slender white legs and stepped into it. A beautiful body full of the temptation of a mature woman soaked in the bath, and the warm and comfortable feeling made Countess Illya moan. She lifted her slender fingers to fetch some rose petals from the side and gently sprinkled them on the water, filling the entire bathroom with a cloud of water vapor.
At this time, a maid carrying a wooden barrel came out, her expression was a little frightened, and she lost her voice: "Madam! I haven't put cold water yet......
"Huh?" Countess Illya, who was enjoying the bath with her eyes closed, opened her eyes suspiciously, she frowned and paddled her fingers in the water, and then murmured comfortably, "It's okay." This temperature is just right. ”
"But......" The maid's frightened expression was a little, but she couldn't help but whisper, "But it's freshly boiled hot water in it......"
If she remembered correctly, she poured a few buckets of boiling hot water into it before she went to bring in cold water. Now the temperature of the bath water should be very high, even if it is not boiling water, it should be hot, the whole bathroom is full of water vapor, and the maid can't see it clearly, not sure if someone helped her bring cold water.
She cautiously walked to the edge of the bath, picked up the towel and said, "Madame." I'll wipe your back for you. ”
Countess Illya felt warm and didn't want to move, but replied softly, "Yes." ”
The maid took the towel and scratched it in the bath, but as soon as her fingers touched the hot water, she was electrocuted, and exclaimed, "It's so hot......"
The water temperature is estimated to be seventy or eighty degrees.
At this time, Countess Elija also seemed to feel that something was wrong. She was tired from a day today, and just tried the water temperature and soaked it directly. The maid's appearance didn't look like a fake, but she didn't feel it at all, on the contrary, she felt warm all over her body when she soaked in it, and she longed to sleep now.
Is the water really hot?
As if thinking of something, Countess Elija frowned.
She stood up and looked at her body, her full chest shook in the looming mist, a pair of slender and strong thighs were gently raised, and the skin on her body was still white and delicate, without any red marks from being burned.
"Alright. You go out first. Lady Illya lay back down, but looked a little puzzled.
After a hot bath, the tiredness of the day subsided, and Countess Illya picked out a loose pink dressing gown to put on. She took the silver glass and poured herself a glass of wine, and after a gentle sip, she raised her hand to tie up her long, silky hair that had spread out, and after putting the glass down, Countess Elia walked towards her daughter's room.
By this time, it was getting late, and the little girl had already fallen asleep.
The Countess of Illya had found her a teacher, and had recently been learning the common script in an effort to learn all the meanings of the words as quickly as possible.
"Good night. Little darling. ”
Countess Elia leaned over and kissed Fran on the forehead, then carefully closed the door and left.
She picked up her glass and went back to her bedroom, tired from a long day, but after a hot bath, she felt in good spirits. Countess Illya lay on her side on the soft sofa, her loose dressing gown falling to reveal a deep ravine, she picked up a book next to her and leaned against the candlestick to read it, but after turning a few pages, she felt bored and threw it back again. The night outside the window was silent, and Lady Elijah got up and went to the window, where the sky was bright and dark, and a purple ring was mysterious and gorgeous. All the creatures born in this land have been in awe of the moon since the moment they became sensible, and she remembers the terrible stories her mother told her when she was a young child about the arrival of the 'blood moon'.
After a while.
Countess Illya reflexively returned to the bedside, she was about to blow out the candle and go to sleep, but suddenly as if she thought of something, she frowned and took the candlestick, and then gently placed her palm on the candlestick.
The jumping candle flame was just below her palm.
But she didn't feel any burning breath, on the contrary, she just felt a little warm in her palms.
Countess Elijah brought her white palm closer to the candle flame, and it stands to reason that anyone who touches the flame directly will feel the pain of burning. But she still didn't feel a little burning pain now, but she felt that her palms were getting hotter and hotter, and there was a faint feeling of burning a little, but it was not obvious or serious.
"Unbelievable?"
Countess Illya muttered to herself and withdrew her palm, her palm was black, but it was only the smoke of a candle, and she picked up a piece of cloth and wiped it, and immediately saw her fair and delicate skin again.
Nothing hurts.
From the beginning to the present, Countess Illya had been roasting her palms on the candle flame for several minutes, but there was no sign of burning, and even at the end it only felt a little hot.
She looked at her palm in amazement and muttered, "Incredible! I'm not afraid of flames......
Incomprehensible everything.
Everything that happened to her today was incomprehensible to Countess Elija, and even she didn't know when she had this magical ability.
But one person knows for sure.
Stephen's figure popped up in Countess Elia's mind, and if Stephen wasn't still in the mine, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to resist going over to him to ask him for clarification. For now, Countess Elijah could only keep everything to herself, and wait until Stephen came back to ask what was going on.
Why did she suddenly have such magical abilities?
She remembered that she had been scalded by boiling water not long ago, and now she was not even afraid of the flames. This change must have happened in the recent period, and she herself didn't notice it in the slightest, if it wasn't for a special hot bath today, I'm afraid it would have been a long time before she noticed this.
..................
within the mining area.
No sooner had Stephen emerged from the mine than he was confronted by the guards sent by Lady Elijah, who had brought a large basket of fresh vegetables, two baskets of seasonal fruits, a bucket of fresh fish and shrimp raised in water, a hunted deer, and several bottles of vintage wine. A lot of bits and pieces were also delivered, mainly quilts, pillows, blankets, towels, silver cutlery, etc., which were loaded together with more than two truckloads, and were sent here early in the morning by more than a dozen guards.
Stephen motioned for them to move the things halfway up the mountain, and then whispered, "She has a heart." ”
Anyway.
Even if the two sides use each other, Countess Elija has this intention, and Stephen naturally accepts her favor.
Originally, he had planned to go back to Windy City today to buy some daily necessities, but now it seemed that he didn't need it, and he could continue to work here for a while before going back. Stephen has found a large piece of clay, the railroad tracks in the mining area are about sixty percent complete, the model of the clay golem is in progress, and the rune veins inside have been drawn. Just connect all the rune wires to the clay golem's limbs, and then Stephen can complete it by simply placing it in the soul core and casting 'Activate Construct Life'. This is the first golem he has made since he came to this world, and it takes a little more thought to do it anyway.
In everyday use, the Clay Golem's variability and extensibility make them easier to use than the Steel Golem, which has a clear advantage in combat.
At work, the Iron Golem is sluggish.
