Chapter 1056

Speaking of demigod witches, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na suddenly raised her eyebrows:

"Speaking of which, the Chosen One ritual of Wisdom and Knowledge can provide inspiration to others. I wonder if at that time..."

Miss Xierweiya nodded silently, and then the three of them left the Council.

There was an important banquet to attend in the evening, so Xia De and Miss Xierweiya did not stay long. After saying goodbye to Miss Miss Jia Lin Na and Difa, the two took the same carriage back to the city.

Almost the moment the carriage drove out of the manor, the young witch sitting opposite Xia De spoke immediately:

"Xia De, you are even more... remarkable than I thought."

The adjective she first thought of was definitely not "remarkable".

"So what do you want to ask?"

For Miss Xierweiya, Xia De intended to give full trust. This witch who intended to make him an apprentice was indeed a person who could be trusted.

"Apprenticeship, investment, these don't need to be mentioned for now. I am very interested in your experiences in the past."

She bit her lip, her golden eyes looking at Xia De:

"Yes, quite interested."

"I..."

"No, no, first of all, I want you to fully trust me, not because of Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, or because of other reasons, that you are willing to tell me your story."

"Full trust?"

"Yes."

The youngest Great Witch of the Council gently pulled Xia De's hand with her right hand, and her left hand suddenly wrapped around his neck.

"Again?"

Emma Xierweiya kissed Xia De in the bumpy carriage.

The perfume scent on different witches is always different, and that perfume scent even made Xia De forget the time. It wasn't until he was pushed away by Miss Xierweiya that he frowned and complained:

"Lady, this is really impolite."

Witches are always like this.

"Your kissing technique is really terrible. What does Miss Miss Jia Lin Na usually do?"

The young witch wiped her lips and looked at Xia De with a smile. Xia De not resisting was itself a very obvious signal:

"Don't ask me why, Xia De. In the distant past, it was a very common thing for young apprentices to become their teacher's lover."

It seems the chaotic private lives of the Great Witches of the Fifth Era still exceeded Xia De's imagination.

"Not only the Fifth Era, but the even more distant past was like this too."

She seemed to see what Xia De was thinking:

"Now I want to change my mind a little, young gentleman. Compared to letting you be my apprentice, perhaps letting you be my lover would be better. I admire your soul; Miss Miss Jia Lin Na is really lucky."

She leaned back slightly, her eyes still looking at Xia De:

"After kissing a lady, don't you have anything to say?"

"I... are witches always so impolite? This is not the first time I have been forcibly kissed by a witch."

"You should get used to this point."

Miss Xierweiya said, and no longer asked whether Xia De was willing to establish a new relationship with her.

She sat on Xia De's side, then grabbed Xia De's hand:

"Before returning to the city, there is probably less than twenty minutes of carriage ride left. Oh, my apprentice, perhaps, you really should learn the technique of kissing a lady properly."

After speaking, she blinked at Xia De somewhat playfully:

"I want to remind you, this is a carriage. If you don't want to walk back to the city, I think you cannot refuse me."

Only at this time could Xia De remember that Miss Emma Xierweiya was one of the few ladies whose real age was younger than this body of his.

Returning to the city from outside, they should have first sent Miss Xierweiya to Canary Manor and then gone further north to St. Deran Square, but Xia De let the coachman go directly to St. Deran Square. The young Great Witch wiped her lips and teased Xia De that his enthusiasm for "learning" was high, but that was not what Xia De was thinking about.

"Please come here."

Opening his own door, Xia De invited Miss Xierweiya into the basement. While the latter was curiously looking around, Xia De summoned his Fate Ring, and the spiritual light of the 【Space-Time】 Spirit Rune shone on the wall, revealing the hidden passage:

"Please follow me."

Miss Xierweiya curiously followed. Xia De, walking in front, looked at the Ancient God statue in the center of the circular space before it lit up. And the witch walking behind her was already so surprised that she couldn't speak:

"Ancient God of Space!"

"Yes, lady. Try to see if you can approach this statue."

Xia De came to the side of the statue; only Ring Warlocks with spatial power could enter the 【Spatial Labyrinth】 through this statue. But before that, one also needed to be able to approach the Ancient God's statue, which required a powerful soul and mental strength.

The witch walked with great difficulty, but still came to Xia De's side with her head down. Xia De took her hand:

"You are leaving tomorrow. I think it is necessary for you to establish a waypoint here. In fact, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na knows about this place; this is also the reason why I can appear in Huntington City at will. Miss Xierweiya, please recite with me—"

He took Miss Xierweiya's hand and touched the statue:

"May the Primal Rift bless us in the infinite space."

"May the Primal Rift bless us in the infinite space."

White mist dispersed around, until it submerged everything. The Great Witch breathed heavily, looking at everything in front of her. In her eyes, there was only a worn-out wooden signpost on the small path with thin mist:

"The Council's records are actually true! The labyrinth left behind by the Ancient God of Space, the basic coordinate points that run through the space of the material world! This is true, the secrets of the world, the mysteries of space, and those ancient legends!"

The witch with black shoulder-length hair looked at Xia De with fiery eyes:

"Young knight."

"What's wrong?"

"Have you kissed other ladies here?"

Not a second ago, but a second later, this experience was had. The perfume scent on Miss Xierweiya was indeed quite pleasant.

(Little Mia is running...)

When Miss Xierweiya took the carriage back to Canary Manor, the smile on her face was almost overflowing. She agreed with Xia De to meet at the banquet in the evening. Xia De did not stay at home either, but took a carriage to Old John's pawnshop.

When he pushed the door and went in, he was surprised to find that the shop looked a bit empty. Considering that it used to be a garbage dump piled with all kinds of sundries, in fact, there were still quite a lot of goods at this time.

"Old Dad John, are you moving the shop?"

Xia De asked suspiciously. When he walked to the counter, he found two black suitcases behind the counter:

"Doctor Shi Nai De said you have been here since he became a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. How did you think of moving away?"

"Not moving away, I'm going on a long trip recently, to the south... You say, is the winter in the Great Swamp area a bit warmer?"

The old man asked, and Xia De thought for a while:

"You should hope for fewer mosquitoes and insects."

The old man agreed deeply:

"Yes, I have prepared a lot of insect repellent and snake-avoiding medicine and powder. Oh, detective, what are you buying here? You are really lucky. If you came in the evening, I would have already set off and left."

Xia De blinked:

"Just passing by here, so I came in to look around."

"I don't believe it. However, if you really have nothing to do, leave now; I'm going to close the shop too. I will definitely be back before the Year-End Festival. If you need to customize alchemical items during this time, you can go to this address and find Xiao En. Really, I didn't expect that one day, I would introduce business to others."

He muttered while handing Xia De a business card, and then looked up at Xia De again:

"It just so happens you are here, do me a favor. Before this Friday, go to the place outside the city where they sell corpse materials, find Kao Pu Si, and give him the order list."

Without waiting for Xia De to agree, he rummaged out a folded piece of paper from under the counter and pushed it to him.

Xia De certainly would not refuse. Although Old John was a bit stingy on weekdays, he also took good care of him:

"I thought you wouldn't like doing business with such guys who sell corpse materials."

"But using those materials is unavoidable. Do you want me to go grave robbing myself?"

The old man shook his head and said, then rummaged out a handful of change and stuffed it to Xia De:

"Remember, send it over before Friday. This is 1 pound and 7 pence, as your commission fee. I am very generous this time."

Xia De admired Old John's ability to know the exact amount just by grabbing a handful of change.

Although he met Old John, he would leave Tobesk soon, obviously having no time to help Xia De investigate the matter of "Miss Keluoyi". So after returning home at noon and having lunch, Xia De went to Coldwater Port City again.

Swimming from the underground cave to the pier, taking a bath and changing clothes at Aurora Manor, first going to the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi black market at the Seven Brooms Tavern in the city to look around, then taking a carriage to the old lighthouse on the sea cliff outside the city, and meeting the old folklore scholar, Mr. Aidemunde:

"Great, you don't intend to go on a long trip to the Pantanal Great Swamp, right?"

When he knocked on the lighthouse door and saw the familiar old man, Xia De was truly relieved.

"Really strange, what would I go to the Pantanal area for..."

The old man moved away from the doorway, let Xia De in, and suddenly looked at Xia De suspiciously again:

"How do you know Old John is going there? He shouldn't have revealed his destination."

"I guessed."

Xia De walked into the familiar lighthouse. The ventilation inside the lighthouse was done well, and the fishy smell was not heavy:

"Coming here this time, I want to commission the 【Light-Guiding Ascetic Society】 to investigate a witch from the early Fifth Era. Today is Tuesday, and I hope to get that information before Saturday night."

"A witch of the Fifth Era? Possible, but this kind of information is very expensive. Even I cannot give you a discount."

The old man warned, letting Xia De sit down to talk:

"And I don't guarantee that it will definitely be found. You know, information from before the era, the loss is really too severe, not to mention the early Fifth Era."

PS: The original chapter title was intended to be "Apprentice and Lover". Later, I felt that being so arrogant was not very good, so I changed it.

The extra update is over, and there will be a normal update in the evening. Yesterday I updated 16,000 words, and today I have updated 12,000 words so far. The current draft has been written to the final battle part of this volume. The excitement this time will not be inferior to the Battle of Mid-Hill Fort.

Asking for monthly tickets.
