Chapter 1117: The Fifth Landmark

Putting down the thick roll of parchment, Xia De found the ice crystal pendant from the pile of toys and pendants in the nightstand.

Xia De looked at the pendant blankly, and after holding it in his palm, he thought of Miss Ke Luo Yi's appearance.

He certainly knew what kind of feelings that silver-haired, red-eyed witch had for him when they finally said goodbye, but Miss Ke Luo Yi was also the witch who was furthest from the Outsider's life timeline.

After a slight sigh, he placed the ice crystal pendant next to the three stone slabs that were glowing slightly. He stroked the stone slabs with his fingers, then hugged the cat and took the 【Akenola - Arrow of the Chosen One】 to find Tifa.

It was already dark, and from the manor's corridor, one could see the fine snow falling and dancing under the moon.

During the time Miss Jia Lin Na was "resting in bed," all affairs in the manor were handled by Tifa and the secretarial team. When Xia De saw Tifa, she had just finished arranging tomorrow's schedule in the study.

Seeing Xia De enter, Tifa let Miss Jia Lin Na's personal maids leave first. The young girls greeted Xia De with a smile, then whispered about the rumors of the relationship between Xia De and this head maid.

After the door closed, Xia De held up the arrow to signal:

"Tifa, do you need new power?"

He briefly explained the current function of this arrow and attributed this brand-new function to the blessing given by Miss Feilian.

Although Miss Jia Lin Na was not there, Tifa did not sit in the main seat behind the desk, but placed another chair next to that exquisite velvet-backed chair, which was Miss Jia Lin Na's chair:

"No one will refuse new power."

She said with a smile.

"Then I will stab you, please roll up your sleeve."

Xia De shook the arrow to signal. The maid thought for a moment, unbuttoned the buttons on her chest, then looked at Xia De, and pointed to the velvet chair, which was Miss Jia Lin Na's chair, signaling Xia De to sit down:

"However, Xia De, can you... the bloodstains that seeped out?"

Little Mia was placed on the desk by Xia De, and it looked curiously at the two in the room. Xia De pursed his lips slightly, and Tifa looked at him with a blushing expression:

"In order to return before the Year-End Festival, Speaker Isabella, to reward the Young Lady for her contribution this time, will let Miss Xi Er Wei Ya cooperate with the power of the council to open a channel for the Young Lady to return directly. This cannot be used often... She will return at this time tomorrow, which is Sunday night."

As she spoke, the black-brown eyes looked at Xia De:

"Knight, the maid of the Duchess can only... when the master is away."

Xia De sat down on the velvet-backed chair. Tifa pulled open the left front lapel. The brass-colored arrowhead, carrying the warmth of Xia De's palm, pierced into the nai-white skin. Amidst a slight cry of pain, round bloodstains seeped out slightly.

Xia De removed the arrow. As Tifa's Fate Ring automatically appeared behind her, she hugged Xia De's head again. Since the Duchess was away, the maid also wanted to relax rarely.

In short, Tifa did not obtain a miracle, but instead obtained a brand-new enlightenment spirit rune 【Pain】. With all the spirit runes for the sixth ring complete, she can hold a ceremony to advance to the seventh ring.

"Meow~"

The cat stared at the Fate Ring and was very worried that Xia De would be suffocated.

Luweiya letting Xia De rest in Miss Jia Lin Na's manor was actually a very correct approach, because Xia De had indeed not fully recovered his health. It was a feeling that was hard to describe, just like an ordinary person not getting enough sleep.

But given that the "coma after divinity overflow" and the "weakness after forcing the use of Ascended Words" were superimposed, the state at this time was very normal.

Before eight o'clock in the evening, Xia De returned to the bedroom to rest. The maids prepared midnight snacks and hot tea for him, and the gas lamp in the bedroom and the gas table lamp in the shape of a little angel by the bed were also very bright.

Mia lay beside the pillow, being petted by Xia De from time to time, while Xia De held the scroll of parchment and read it carefully, wanting to select some interesting miracles and curses to learn.

The atmosphere at night was very comfortable, and Xia De felt that as long as he rested well, he would probably return to normal tomorrow. He had many things to do, the perfume bottle of Desire, the ritual to enhance time perception, the dream-entry ritual prepared for him by Doctor Shi Nai De, and that wordless black book of Miss Dan Ni Si Te.

Thinking in his heart that he was always busy, but decided to enjoy the Year-End Festival starting next Tuesday after dealing with these things. He even wanted to postpone the use of the next key so that he could rest well in the first half of early 1854.

Just as he was thinking, the bedroom door was knocked, and then the door was opened. Xia De heard the sound of square-heeled small leather shoes stepping on the floor. This was the standard dress for the manor's maids, and generally, they would wear uniform white cotton socks in their shoes. It is said that in the palace of Duchess Jia Lin Na in Saladir County, the maids were all dressed like this.

Xia De knew that this was the maids coming to add tea again, so he didn't care, but soon the footsteps came to the bedside, and a very familiar voice asked softly:

"Mr. Hamilton, Miss Se Wei Te asked me to come and accompany you to sleep tonight."

"No, no, I don't need..."

Curious about why Tifa would arrange such a thing, he was about to put down the parchment in his hand when he didn't expect a fair hand to pull away the parchment directly, and then the girl dressed in a maid outfit bent down and kissed Xia De by the bed.

Xia De widened his eyes. After pushing her away, he saw that it was Luweiya. However, at this time, Luweiya was dressed in a black and white maid skirt, and even her brown shoulder-length hair was styled in a way that was convenient for maids to move.

She held her hands together in front of her chest and asked Xia De with a smile:

"Mr. Hamilton, should I stay?"

As she spoke, she lifted her right leg wearing white long stockings and placed it on the bed, and then the other leg was also lifted up. She knelt on the bed and looked down at Xia De. Xia De heard the rhythmic sound of two small black leather shoes falling onto the carpet by the bed one after another.

"Well... where did this dress come from?"

"Borrowed from Tifa, it's a pity I can't wear her clothes. We are about the same height, but... fortunately, the thing that is not lacking here is this kind of clothes. Other maids helped me find this one. I have to admit, this dress is more complicated and... beautiful than I thought."

Luweiya's face was slightly red:

"However, I heard some rumors from other maids in the manor. You had a very good afternoon, Knight?"

There were no secrets in the place where the girls gathered. Even if Tifa and Xia De were hidden, it was impossible not to let others know at all. Xia De didn't know how to answer, so the purple-eyed girl said seriously again:

"Mr. Hamilton, this is Miss Se Wei Te's good intention, you must not refuse."

"Well then, I do need a maid to... accompany me to sleep."

Saying such words made Xia De very embarrassed, and the Outsider scolded himself in his heart for how he had become such a person.

Thus, "maid" Miss Luweiya An Na Te kissed Xia De somewhat "clumsily." This night would probably be very interesting... Little Mia, who was woken up, probably wouldn't think so.

Early Sunday morning, Xia De, feeling that he had almost recovered, went to the city with Luweiya and Tifa, who happened to be going to Yodel Palace for business, after breakfast.

After sending Luweiya to the Divination Society and saying goodbye to Tifa, agreeing to meet again tomorrow afternoon. After returning to his long-lost home, Xia De stored the relics and special items he carried with him first. Then he used four rings to "lure" the cat that was throwing a tantrum, and specifically allowed it to carry four rings with its tail at one time, before he went alone from the basement to the island in the middle of the lake in the center of the Great Swamp.

The appearance of Little Mia walking around the house with four rings, clinking and clanking, was really interesting.

When he returned home on Thursday dawn, Sister Daifulin helped Xia De touch the ancient god statue under the lighthouse on the island in the middle of the lake, so on his 【Space Maze】 path, besides "Tobesk - St. Deran Square," "Cold Water Port - Underwater Cliff Cave," "Midehillburg - Mountain Ruined Tower," and "Huntington - White River Valley Vineyard," there was a fifth landmark, "Pantanal Great Swamp - Lake Island Lighthouse."

The size and shape of the hidden space under the lighthouse were exactly the same as the other five places, except that there was a stone gray bookshelf here, but there was nothing on the bookshelf.

Xia De revealed his Fate Ring to open the channel for leaving. Outside was the basement of the lighthouse. Unlike the basement in the mountains of Sikar Mountain which didn't even have stairs, the basement of this old lighthouse was still being used. The Pantanal Voodoo Society used to stack tools for repairing lamps and spare fuel here.

Following the steps to the first floor of the lighthouse, suddenly seeing the light outside the lighthouse door from the darkness made Xia De squint his eyes and raise his arm.

And in that light, with her back to him, dressed in a gray nun's robe, with her hair braided and hanging behind her, wearing a silver eye mask on her face, and a gray shawl on her shoulders, the gray-haired lady turned around, smiled, and bowed slightly to him.

And at this moment, the scenery illuminated by the gentle winter sun outside the lighthouse appeared in the light beside the nun. Xia De was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved as he walked over:

"Good morning, Sister Daifulin!"

Now the entire island in the middle of the lake was affected by the curse of the Pantanal Xiewu, so the Church did not set up a camp on the island; the camp was on the outskirts of the lake. And the only ones who could go to the island to check the situation were the Thirteen Ringed Shushi and a few Twelve Ringed Shushi of the Nature Church and the Sun Church.

Therefore, with Sister Daifulin accompanying him, Xia De didn't have to worry about being discovered by the Church. And Xia De also told the nun that the purpose of his trip was to see a Level 0 relic.

The nun had heard of the legend of 【Desire】, and after careful consideration, she decided to follow Xia De to see the other party. ===== CHAPTER 1118 =====
