Chapter 239: We Still Don't Know What Happened That Night (Part I)
Following Rhodes into the room, Labis looked curiously at the room in front of her, thinking that this was the first time she had entered Rhodes' room in Grantia. Without the luxury of imagination, the rooms at Rhodes can even be said to be very simple. Elegantly decorated tables and chairs, wardrobes and heavy plush carpets are all the furnishings in the room, and the only thing that catches the eye is probably the large bed that is more than five meters wide, plus some ornamental plants for decoration, this is everything in the room.
"What's wrong? Labis? β
Rhodes' voice sounded in his ears, which made the somewhat curious Labis stunned for a moment, and then turned her head and looked at him with some uneasiness.
"Ah............ That, nothing, nothing, Lord Rhodes. β
"Speaking of which, is there anything you have to do with me at such a late hour?"
Rod glanced at Labis, who was nervous about answering his own question, pulled out a chair, and sat down across from him, staring at the girl in front of him with his hands crossed. Rhodes didn't find anything strange about Labis's behavior, although she now looked like a mouse walking up to a cat. But that's what Labis has always done, and if Labis is as calm and calm as Marlene, then it's an anomaly for Rod. Feeling Rod's gaze, Labis sat down in her chair tremblingly, biting her lip, and was silent for a moment before she mustered up the courage to speak.
"That......... That one......... Lord Rhodes!! β
"Huh?"
Maybe it was Labis's voice that was a little louder, and Rhodes couldn't help but be startled, but at this time, he saw that Labis had reached into his arms, and then took out a basket and sent it to Rhodes.
"This, this is my baked biscuit!"
"Cookies?"
Look at the basket in front of you with an enticing fragrance. Rhodes couldn't figure out what kind of god this was unfolding at all? Could it be that you want to give chocolates on Valentine's Day? But Valentine's Day has long passed, and although there are similar festivals in this world, it was the end of autumn, and it was still a few months away. Now that Labis has inexplicably taken out such a basket of cookies, what is she planning to do?
"Ah, this. This one......... That's right! I had heard Miss Canary talk about the storage of food on the march, so I made these biscuits. By the way, I have also improved them with alchemy, and after testing, the effect is very good, so I brought them to Lord Rhodes for you to taste. I don't know what you think of this......... Can it be successful? β
Perhaps because of her excessive nervousness, Labis said something that didn't match her words and stammered and couldn't even make her words clear, but Rhodes finally understood what she meant. Looking at Labis's face, which was almost crying, Rhodes waved his hand. stopped her from speaking.
"So these cookies are for me?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Rhodes, I also prepared black tea........."
As she spoke, Labis put down the basket in a panic, and then took out a beautiful tea set from the space bracelet and placed it on the table. Then she hurriedly began to make black tea for Rod, but had to admit it. Compared to professionals like Angelinte, Agameve or Marlene. Labis's performance was really miserable, and the way she poured tea was not at all aristocratic elegance and nobility, but gave the illusion that she was adding some kind of ingredient to the potionβββ especially when she saw Labis pouring milk and sugar in equal proportions.
This thing should be able to drink.........
Looking at the black tea in front of him, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly, although he is not a nobleman, he has no hobby for black tea. But there's Marlene by her side. Lijie, Angelint and Celestina, who take black tea as their life, have naturally tasted a variety of different flavors of black tea. There are pure flavors, and there are also milk-flavored ones, but the color looks normal. But the βββ in front of me is green.
Is this really "black" tea?
And after adding milk, it turned blue?
What kind of chemistry is this?
I can't drink the dead.........
Since the other party is kind enough to prepare for themselves. Rhodes didn't ask for much either, anyway, it was just leisure time now, not in battle, so he didn't need to be so nervous and serious. What's more, although Labis looks flustered, the things she takes are basically reliable. Besides, Rod is still very confident in his dragon soul attribute value. Anyway, you can't drink the dead.
Thinking of this, Rhodes reached out and picked up the teacup, took a sip of the "red" tea that had obviously turned "dark blue", and then picked up a biscuit to avoid "untimely needs", which is easy to understand - for example, after drinking Chinese medicine, you need to eat a piece of sugar to press or something.
"Huh?"
However, to Rhodes's surprise, the black tea in the entrance is not as weird as imagined, but unusually mellow, although it does not look like black tea at all on the surface, but if you close your eyes and just feel the taste, there is no difference from black tea at all. And there is nothing abnormal in his body, which means that what he sees in front of him should be just simple black tea (although it doesn't look like it at all). Thinking of this, Rhodes also put his mind at ease and began to carefully taste Labis's black tea and biscuits.
"Hmm......... Yes, although it doesn't look like it on the surface, I didn't expect you to be quite talented in this area, and I thought you didn't care about anything else except alchemy, which was really unexpected to me. β
"Hoo ........."
Hearing Rod's answer, Labis let out a long breath and relaxed as if she had completed some task. She glanced at Rod secretly, then quickly withdrew her gaze. All the best, and that's all it takes......... When that time comes, according to your own plan, there should be no problem. Thinking of this, Labis completely relaxed for the first time, but at this time............
"Captain, Anne is back!"
With this light and lively voice, suddenly the door opened, and then a figure that the two of them were no longer familiar with walked in.
"Annie?!"
Seeing the girl who suddenly appeared, Labis jumped up as if she had been electrocuted. Hearing Labis's voice, Anne also blinked curiously, and looked at the girl in front of her in surprise.
"Labis? How did you end up here? It's a strange thing, it's the first time Anne has seen you leave the workshop, what? Did the head of the regiment make you do anything funny? β
"No, this ......... I......... I just ..............."
Facing Anne who suddenly appeared in front of him. Labis panicked and didn't know what to say. She had no idea what would happen to her, and according to her plan, the night should have been spent by herself and Lord Rhodes, and she hadn't calculated that anyone would join her. Originally, according to Labis's calculations, based on the two elements of himself and Rod, this plan was 100% perfect. But............ It's not uncommon for theory to be divorced from practice, isn't it?
Just when Labis stood there and didn't know what to do in the face of the unexpected factors, Rod waved his hand indifferently and replied.
"Labis just made some cookies for me to try, how about I eat them?"
"Of course there is no problem!"
For Anne, eat. Playing and sleeping are the three great pleasures of her life, and when she heard that there was something good to eat, and it was made by Labis, Anne suddenly burst out of curiosity, rushed to the table and sat down, and then stretched out her hand, took out a biscuit from the basket and threw it into her mouth. And until this time. Labis seemed to react as Anne reached out to pick up the cookies. Labis was taken aback.
"Wait!!"
"Huh?"
Unfortunately, Labis was a little late, and before she could speak, Anne had already thrown the biscuit into her mouth, chewing and looking at her curiously. Faced with Anne's curious gaze, Labis opened her mouth. In the end, nothing was said.
"No, nothing......... Anne, I don't know if you like the taste of these cookies......"
"Well, it's delicious. Anne likes it, I didn't expect you to do this, Labis. β
As he spoke. Anne grabbed a handful of biscuits again and put them in her mouth, watching Anne's movements, Labis sighed helplessly, gave up the idea of stopping the girlβββ anyway, she had already eaten it, whether she ate one piece or ten pieces, the effect was the same. If I knew that Lu Dao was like this, maybe I should have chosen to make a cake in the first place, right?
While Labis fell silent, Anne had already begun to eat the snack in front of her, while Rhodes was leisurely drinking black tea while thinking about something silently. It would be fine if it was just that, but ......... Labis was already feeling a little troublesome. She lowered her head, staring at the teacup in front of her uncertainly, the air was not hot at the moment, but there was a faint layer of sweat on the girl's forehead, not only that, but Labis's breathing became a little rapid............... Because the girl knew very well that the effects of the medicine were beginning to kick in.
That's not for Rod's medicinal effect, for Rod's tailor-made equipment and potions for such a long time, Labis also knows very well that even if she makes something like a kitsch, it won't have much effect on Rod. As a researcher, this is still the case with Labis. Therefore, she did not intend to create the kind of potion that would make Rhodes fall in love with her at first sight or be fascinated by her. Because she knew very well that the reason was with herself, not with Rod. Thereupon......... Labis improved the effects of the potion.
Therefore, Labis added a potion to the black tea and biscuits that can amplify and increase mutual attraction, so that if you eat the biscuit or drink the black tea, if both parties taking the potional are of the opposite sex, it will make the other person feel greatly attractive. To put it bluntly, this is a potion that increases one's own charm and thus gains the favor of a specific person. Only this time, Labis only wanted to create this potion, completely to break through the barrier in her heart. She knew that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for her to have the courage to confess to Rod, so Labis used this method, and when the time came, once she was attracted to Lot to the point that she couldn't help it, then she could boldly say what she wouldn't say when she was sensible. Of course, Labis also moved a little, because this potion is not a potion that distorts and changes the will of others like a kitsch, but a potion that "increases charm", so it is a buff potion and will not be offset by Rod, so in this way, it can also reduce the degree of failure of her confessionβββ after all, Labis also knows very well that there are so many women around Rod, I am afraid that she will not be in a position at all, but if she doesn't say it, she is unwilling.........
To put it bluntly, this is no different from drinking and spitting the truth, except that Labis looks at and solves the problem from the perspective of a researcher......... Truth be told, if she knew that such a problem would arise, Labis would probably rather drink a few bottles of wine to get herself drunk.
But now, the effects have begun to kick in.
Labis could keenly feel Rhodes' presence, and that figure was now becoming taller and taller, full of charm and attractiveness, and if Anne wasn't here, Labis could still use it to express her heart directly. But now......... In this case, how could Labis really say those things!!
Just when Labis's brain was extremely confused, there was a knock on the door. Then the two girls pushed open the door and entered the room.
"Rod, you have time now............... Labis? β
What could happen for Lang?
Hearing this, the corners of Labis's mouth twitched slightly, and she turned to look at the two girls standing in the doorway.
"Good evening, Miss Marlene, Miss Lijie..............." (To be continued......)
