Chapter 114: The Writer of Fairy Tales

Just as the Old God finished speaking, in Xia De's field of vision, he almost saw golden light shroud the boy Chad for a moment.

"Blessing? Is this..."

【Yes, that's why this story can be passed down to your time point and thus possess power.】

Subsequently, the Saint looked at Xia De again:

"Then what have you understood?"

Only then did Xia De understand that he was also regarded as a "child" by the Saint, and the previous question was asked to the four people.

"Me? Yes, I understand..."

This kind of story appreciation and reading comprehension was something Xia De was very familiar with. He had a lot to say, but in the end, he didn't talk about those complicated adult things. Here were children's stories, and in front of him was the Old God 【Innocent Creator】.

So Xia De gave the answer that touched him the most. This was his real thought after hearing this story in two worlds:

"There's nothing to understand. I'm just thinking, if I could, I really want to save her."

The three children looked at Xia De, and they agreed with this view:

"Yes, if you can, you must save her!"

It was this kind of neat and uniform answer again. The current state of the three children was absolutely wrong.

The Saint smiled. This was not a polite smile, but a real smile from the heart:

"You see, 【False Immortality】 is so suitable for you."

And just at this moment, the store door behind Xia De opened suddenly, revealing the endless white fog outside the door. Unseen power suddenly grabbed his shoulders and dragged him towards the door.

The ten minutes were up.

The three children, still sitting on the high stools, waved goodbye to Xia De excitedly, and the young man behind the counter said softly:

"See you next time. Thank you for the story, good night, have a good dream."

【Outsider, you have returned to the current time.】

【Message from the Ancient God "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Task incomplete.】

【Time Key; Fifth Era-1068-Innocent Creator, damaged 23.】

【Next time to open time, need to wait for one week.】

He flew backward out of the white fog door. Because he had prepared in advance, he only staggered back two steps instead of falling to the ground.

The orange cat Xiao Miya had already darted to the study door within three seconds, just in time to meet Xia De returning, so it happily circled around him.

Xia De picked up the soft cat, and with his other hand took out the key in his pocket. Now the wooden key was almost about to shatter with a squeeze.

He was still attracted by the story he told. Since becoming an adult, he hadn't touched fairy tales for a long time. Telling stories to children in the past time tonight was actually telling them to himself.

After a long while, a smile appeared on his face:

"The story is over, and there are still power and growth left. Although the task was not completed this time, compared to the Divine Radiance, the children's wishes are obviously simpler. Letting mortals obtain power, letting children grow up in a short time, these might be done with the knowledge of St. Byrons."

He muttered to himself, and thought of the figure of the poor girl in the illusion constructed by the Saint.

Looking down at his fingers, a flame suddenly jumped up, which startled Xiao Miya. The animal's instinct made it want to stay away from the firelight, but the cat's curiosity made it want to stretch its claws to try what that was.

The spell 【Ignite】 originally could only heat and ignite combustibles that Xia De touched, or ignite them by staring at them for a long time, but both required time to heat up. Just by telling that story in the past, the effect of the spell was directly upgraded to drawing out a flame.

Moreover, he could feel that the power he obtained from this was definitely more than what he had now, but he hadn't fully understood it yet.

From the very source of time, he created this story. And because this story has been passed down for two eras, it has gained power, and he has also made some progress in power because of this. But the premise of all this is that the story he brought has been passed down to become part of civilization. Unless there is the help of a God again, it is almost impossible to repeat such a thing.

In the half month he has been in this world, he has also learned a lot about ancient literature, and among them, the most familiar one is only this one. Presumably, even if he tries again in the future, it will be difficult to replicate today's situation.

But it doesn't matter, because the most important thing today is that he saw the hope of completing the task of the "Father of the Infinite Tree".

"The story of the Match Girl will probably make me think for many days."

He sighed, came to the window, and held the cat to admire the night view of the three moons in the sky over St. Deran Square.

【You seem very confident about the remaining two wishes?】

"Yes, if I don't even have confidence in this kind of thing, how can I collect the remaining eleven drops of divinity? Also, what do you think of this story?"

【Very good, warmth in the darkness, horror in the light. A good story.】

After a simple wash, he went to sleep. Because he had plans for Thursday, he woke up on time at six in the morning. After simply making breakfast for Xiao Miya and himself, he set off directly.

Regardless of the cost, he found a rented carriage and set off in the morning fog towards 211 Quill Street. When he knocked on the door downstairs of Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's apartment, the time was exactly 7:30 in the morning.

This time point was just right for a visit. A little earlier, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha might be eating breakfast, and a little later, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha would very likely go out.

After a long while, the blonde writer opened the door for Xia De. Because she was in a home state, the blonde young lady was wearing a very ordinary white long dress.

Seeing that it was the detective outside, she was a little surprised:

"Detective, visiting so early, did something happen?"

Xia De shook his head hurriedly:

"No, nothing happened. It's just that there are some things I want to ask. I was addicted to reading those books and encountered great doubts. I originally wanted to come over in the middle of the night yesterday."

This was no joke. After returning from the past time point, he really planned to come and visit immediately, and even dreamed of Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha last night.

"Come to see me in the middle of the night? Detective, did you finally go out of control from reading?"

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that although he had very faint dark circles, he looked normal, she led him towards the stairs.

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha certainly didn't rent this whole building. 211B Quill Street is divided into three floors. The first floor lives the landlady and her two daughters, the second floor is rented by three girls from a nearby women's college, and the third floor is Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's rented area.

Such an apartment where girls live, of course, cannot easily let men in. So, when Xia De was invited in by Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, the landlady, who was wearing a hairnet and had a plump figure, looked at him like a criminal for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
