Chapter 1158: Butterfly Ballad

After discussing the matter of Xia De meeting Miss Benanice, the witches left one after another, and Xia De returned to Midhillburg with Cassandra Granny. The old witch had quite a bit of insight into human relationships and even suggested that Xia De bring a gift when he went to see Miss Benanice tomorrow.

She originally intended to help Xia De prepare a gift, but the harmonica Xia De took out from the gift box this week was still gathering dust at home, so he could just give that to the witch in Randell Valley. As for "The Secret of Eternal Youth," this gift was too precious and couldn't be taken out for the time being.

After saying goodbye to the witches and apprentices, Helen and Grace personally sent Xia De to the abandoned tower in the mountains of Sikar Mountain. When saying goodbye at the door of the forest tower, Xia De asked about another thing:

"Grace, do you know the ancient god—Butterfly God 【Gan Mu Yi Huan Die】?"

Xia De asked the sister in the white dress. The girl, who looked fifteen or sixteen, looked at her sister beside her:

"Sir, did you encounter that god in the past time?"

"Yes."

Xia De nodded:

"Because you have an inextricable connection with butterflies, I want to know, you and that god..."

Grace reached out and took her sister's hand. Amidst the red butterflies in the scarlet light, the two merged into one. The more mature girl had more powerful strength:

"Yes, the butterfly form is not only related to the red butterfly pendant given by that God of Blood-Sucking, but also related to the Butterfly God."

She looked at Xia De under the moonlight in the forest. The serene moonlight illuminated that handsome face:

"Although the ancient god—Twin God, is the basis of our power, that great one also gave us power. It's just that we lost that part of the memory, not because you consumed it as a price when you saved us, but it was lost in the transition between the Sixth Era and the Fifth Era."

Xia De nodded to show understanding:

"Then regarding this god, what do you know?"

"He likes ballads very much."

The red butterfly girl said quite affirmatively, looking at Xia De with eyes that had strange red halos:

"If we can recover that part of the memory, perhaps we can sing for you, the ballad dedicated to the Butterfly God."

"How to recover the memory?"

Xia De asked. Although he had a way to obtain the singing voice, having a second choice was not bad.

The girl's face in front of him was slightly red:

"Enter a dream together with us, in the dream woven by butterflies... deeply contact our souls, and open the door to the tightly closed memories."

Xia De suspected that he had misunderstood, so he just pretended to be thinking and nodded:

"I understand. Then I will leave first. If there is a need, I will ask for help."

The red girl's face carried an expression of regret:

"Then goodnight, Xia De..."

She hugged Xia De lightly, and then, like a little bird wetting its feathers on the lake, kissed Xia De's lips lightly:

"Have a good dream."

When Xia De, who was full of thoughts, returned home, it was already 9:30 PM. The blonde girl was holding the cat, reading a magazine on the sofa in front of the fireplace. Seeing Xia De walking down from upstairs, she stood up and said with a smile:

"Is the witch's matter handled? Do you still need to go out tonight?"

"I won't go out. Before dinner, I already went to the abandoned manor outside the city, but that place doesn't accept the effect of 【Power of the Earth · Healing Aura】. I have to wait for the problem of that land to erupt again to determine if it is the same trouble as Randell Valley."

He hugged the blonde girl, and only then realized that it was the Princess Highness:

"Lei Lei Qianya, assist me in holding a ritual; I want to learn the miracle 【Sound of Music】."

"No problem. However, Little Ajelina's birthday is next month, have you prepared the birthday gift?"

Lei Lei Qianya helped him take off his coat, her nostrils flared, and she frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Xia De shook his head somewhat distressed:

"I am not good at choosing gifts. My current idea is to look for it in Randell Valley to see if there are any rare or precious local specialty souvenirs. The local specialty is actually clay figurines, but they are too ugly and not suitable as gifts."

"If you haven't prepared well, actually just send her a piece of jewelry. Pick one from your jewelry box, and I will find a qualified jewelry craftsman to process it for you."

Lei Lei Qianya suggested with a smile, kissing Xia De's side face lightly:

"Or, you can send yourself as a gift to Ajelina; she would probably be very happy."

She was testing him.

"Lei Lei Qianya, don't make jokes."

The learning ritual for the miracle 【Sound of Music】 was not complicated, but it required the surroundings to be as quiet as possible, which was why Xia De chose to hold the ritual in the basement at night.

The ritual didn't need a ritual base array; the most critical thing was the miracle potion. The potion made with those three precious Echo Grass as raw materials was also made by Priest Ao Gusi in twenty minutes this evening.

After everything was ready, Xia De stood in the basement and drank the potion with a faint purple light. The life ring was called from behind, and the 【Echo】 spirit rune stained with divinity flickered with dazzling golden light.

Xia De extended his right hand to cover his right ear:

"do? ~"

He sang the note, making the tone as standard as possible.

"re? ~"

Lei Lei Qianya sang softly on the side. As for the cat, it was locked upstairs at this moment to prevent the cat's meowing from ruining Xia De's ritual.

"? ~"

"She" sang gently in Xia De's ear. That voice was better than the voices of Xia De and Lei Lei Qianya.

"fa? ~"

Xia De closed his eyes and continued to sing. Vaguely, he could already hear the echoes of three different voices overlapping in his ears.

"sol? ~"

This was the voice of Dorothy's body. The Princess Highness had received professional vocal training, and the ladies of the royal family were all very good at singing.

"la? ~"

"She" continued to sing. If "she" could be heard by others, then Xia De wouldn't need to prepare specially for that banquet of gods.

"ti? ~"

Xia De opened his mouth for the third time. At this time, all three voices had overlapped in his ears. This was an auditory hallucination produced after drinking the potion, probably about the same as eating poisonous mushrooms. At this time, the spiritual light of the spirit rune was still flickering, representing that the ritual was all normal.

So, Xia De, Lei Lei Qianya, and "she" sang the last high-pitched note together:

"do↑? ~"

The mixed sound appeared in Xia De's ears, and the overlapping sound disappeared at this moment. Then, from the low-pitched "do" to the high-pitched "do," eight notes echoed in his ears. Xia De instinctively sang them out with his own voice, and the pronunciation was unusually standard.

"Very good, I have mastered this miracle!"

After the sound that repeated over and over in his ears stopped, Xia De said to Lei Lei Qianya with a smile:

"Next, Your Highness, please sing a song for me and let me record it. In this way, I can continue to participate in that god's banquet and sing for the god."

"Xia De, you know you have another more suitable candidate."

The Princess Highness said very gently:

"Go to Randell Valley and seek help from Miss Vanessa Benanice. You mentioned today that you have already met her."

Xia De didn't take the initiative to reveal that Miss Benanice was a witch; this was someone else's privacy after all, but Lei Lei Qianya could guess it.

"Don't show that expression; I'm serious. Although I am very confident in my singing voice, it is clearly still unable to compare with that kind of professional artist. I really envy that you can hear her sing; this is an opportunity I don't even have. For your time exploration, naturally, you have to choose the most suitable object, don't you?"

She said with a smile, then held Xia De's hand, looking at him with a smile. The Princess Highness was really understanding.

"Also, a few days ago, I took away a batch of bad books from Little Ajelina... Do you want to try it with me?"

(Little Mia running...)

In the deep blue sky of winter, the same clouds floated in the sky. And under this rare good winter scenery, white pigeons were released from the Randell Valley train station amidst the cheers of the people, and the sound of calling almost scattered the few clouds.

The crowded crowd was squeezed into the train station on Friday morning. On both sides of the platform, people either took off their hats to pay tribute to the steam locomotive that was still emitting black smoke from the head but was slowly driving into the station with a harsh sound, or waved toward those carriages with tightly closed curtains.

At the position where the first carriage and the second carriage stopped, the local police tried to clear an open space with a human wall. And even though the train had just stopped, the reporters who had already set up their cameras had already let the magnesium light flash click-clack.

The burning magnesium strips produced large swaths of smoke and dust, and the cold breeze blew them toward the crowd behind, causing people to cough loudly while laughing, cursing, and complaining regardless of their decency.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the carriage of the stopped train was finally opened from the inside.

First, the royal guards filed out and formed a thicker human wall with the local police. Then, the attendant officer walked out and laid a wooden board on the gap between the train carriage and the platform.

While the local nobles, including Earl Granger whom Xia De had seen, and the Mayor of Randell City and others went up to meet them, Xia De, who had only seen Prince William Anjou in the newspaper, walked out of the carriage wearing a red formal dress with several shining medals on his right chest.

The calls, applause, and the explosive sound of the camera's magnesium light were continuous. And the Princess of the United Kingdom, Margaret Anjou, also walked out of the carriage closely following her brother.

She was also wearing a very formal gown. Of course, since it was still midwinter, it was a thickened style, and there was a white cashmere shawl on her shoulders.

The Princess and Prince of the Kingdom stood side by side, waving to the crowd together under the camera. And when Margaret's eyes swept over the crowd, she accidentally captured a wisp of pleasant orange color:

"What a beautiful color! As dazzling as the sun."

She thought in her heart. When she looked at that color again, she discovered that it was a small cat with orange and white colors squatting on a man's shoulder:

"Such a beautiful cat..."

Her eyes widened slightly:

"Mia?" ===== CHAPTER 1159 =====
