Chapter 1174

The study group on Saturday afternoon this week, although missing Luweiya, was still held as usual.

Xia De informed the doctor and the others that he had successfully arrived in Randall Valley and met Luweiya. Everyone was surprised by Xia De's "high speed"; after all, they all knew the truth a step earlier than Luweiya—Xia De had long wanted to go to Randall Valley City.

In the third week after the exam week, everyone was considering the study situation for the first year. After sharing their respective experiences and study plans, the doctor gathered the three again to submit their respective elective course plans to the school.

Because Xia De had already taken the elective courses of Miss Danister and Professor Garcia, he temporarily did not choose other courses. However, because he had learned the new Spirit Rune 【Puppet】, and the Academy could also let him learn a miracle for free, Xia De wanted to learn a new miracle.

Since it was free, naturally he had to choose the most expensive one. After careful selection and referring to Dr. Schneider's advice, Xia De chose the miracle 【Puppetry】. The only effect of this miracle is that after contacting a target, one can attach one's own spirit to the target and then briefly control the other party's actions.

The effect of the miracle's casting has great limitations, such as very high consumption, the effect on Ring-Warlocks is considered not very strong, the duration is short, and the distance between the caster and the target cannot be too far.

But even so, if Xia De hadn't obtained this miracle through the academic year reward, he would have had to spend 3200 pounds to buy it from the Academy. 【Puppetry】 is the most fundamental miracle in the Ring-Ringed Ringed Shushi system with "control" as the core; Margaret is such a Ring-Ringed Ringed Shushi. Based on 【Puppetry】, besides the human control Xia De learned and Margaret combining puppets with stories, a series of more complex and effective miracles can also be extended.

Of course, the core of Xia De's system is 【Silver Moon】 and 【Space】, so he wouldn't go deep into "Puppetry," but this miracle is still very useful to him. His current Ring-Ringed Ringed Shushi system includes attack, defense, transformation, healing, investigation, movement, etc., but the only control skill is 【Mind Blast】, which can barely be used.

And 【Puppetry】 gave him new ability characteristics; even if it is not very useful when facing strong enemies, it is a very easy-to-use miracle in daily life and investigation.

Because the Academy provides learning materials for free, Xia De had dinner with Dorothy that evening, and then held the ritual with the help of the Princess. The casting of the miracle requires the spell material "spider silk," which is very common, and Xia De had some in reserve at home.

"Take it and do an experiment."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lei Qianya, who was sitting on the sofa, said to Xia De. Xia De then stood up, reached out and patted her shoulder, then took two steps back, feeling that five invisible threads extended from the five fingers of his right hand.

He tried to control Lei Qianya to raise her hands, but Lei Qianya only moved her fingers and suppressed Xia De's command.

"Sure enough, for a target that is already prepared, the effect of the miracle will be greatly weakened, and it is currently the same level."

Xia De looked at his hand and concluded:

"Only when launching a sneak attack can this miracle exert its maximum effect."

Saying that, he patted Little Mia, who was standing on the back of the sofa.

The silly cat looked up at him, thinking Xia De wanted to do something. Subsequently, under Lei Qianya's surprised gaze, the cat jumped in place from the back of the sofa, performed a beautiful backflip, and then stood steadily on the sofa.

Little Mia didn't understand what was happening; it looked around with some confusion, curious about how the world had turned around by itself.

"Look, the cat finally learned to backflip."

Xia De smiled and picked up Mia, saying to Lei Qianya. The Princess pursed her lips and also showed a smile:

"Alright, alright, go to the study. Since you discussed with Dorothy to teach the fairy tale 'Gerry's Crystal Shoes,' then you start the class from this week."

Xia De nodded and stood up, reaching out to pull Lei Qianya up. The Princess said softly:

"Since you are teaching a class after a long time, then call me Teacher."

"Of course, that's nothing."

"I am saying, you must call me Teacher all night tonight."

Green eyes looked at Xia De. Lei Qianya was very busy throughout the month of the Firstborn Moon, and tonight (This chapter is not finished!)

was a rare opportunity to date Xia De.

(Little Mia is running...)

Time arrived at Sunday, and the most important thing today was to attend the event at the Wang Erde Opera House tonight.

Of course, Xia De was not idle during the day. He first found Grandma Cassandra in Mibao and asked Miss Aurora for help through the old witch, seeking information on the God-Calling ritual 【Contact Earth-Shaking Worm】. Of course, he didn't forget to fully inform the witches about the "Mad Earth" matter, letting the Council inform the Sect.

With the Sect finding a way to curb the increasingly serious problem in Randall Valley City, Xia De only needed to wait for the Chosen to appear and then try his best to help complete the ritual.

Subsequently, he went to Randall Valley again, found Miss Lassus, and obtained the document bag recording the urban legends and Ring-Ringed Ringed Shushi rumors of Randall Valley City.

Because tonight was a performance for the Princess and Prince at the Wang Erde Opera House, the entire Golden Dawn Opera Troupe was conducting intense rehearsals. Although Miss Benanice still had some small opinions about Xia De, Miss Lassus, as the deputy leader, was still very happy about Xia De's presence. Therefore, this lady, who also had blonde hair, took Xia De to meet the other Ring-Warlocks in the opera troupe, which counted as letting Xia De familiarize himself with the members of Golden Dawn.

And Golden Dawn itself was not just a Ring-Ringed Ringed Shushi organization of witches, so the members were not surprised that the deputy leader found a strange man, only very curious about Miss Benanice's attitude toward Xia De.

Miss Benanice would not perform on stage in public tonight; she was busy with the acquisition of the Wang Erde Opera House, so Xia De had not seen her this afternoon. However, he was looking forward to what kind of singing voice this renowned artist would show him at the end of tonight.

Time flew to the evening. As the sunset glow spilled onto the fountain statue in front of the Divination Society in Randall Valley, making the light and shadow of the statue incomparably strange, Xia De had already appeared in the square in front of the fountain.

He picked up Luweiya, who had finished her work, and then had dinner with her. After dinner, the two hurried back to the Abundant Earth Hotel to change into formal wear and evening gowns for the opera house. Of course, to prevent others from seeing her appear at the opera house with a strange man, Luweiya also performed some disguise, but this did not affect the charm of the purple-eyed girl.

The audience invited to watch this opera were mostly prominent nobles in the city, or guests who followed Margaret and William Anru. Originally, for safety, the invited audience was limited to a very small number, but that Prince William Anru, who was quite famous in Kassenrik, used the excuse of wanting to see the excitement to lift the restrictions on this concert.

It was also because of this that Xia De was able to get tickets from Miss Lassus.

Because of the special nature of this opera house, the tickets in his hand were only in the ordinary audience area and not in a box. When entering with Luweiya, Xia De complained to his female companion:

"Tonight's opera is 'Orfinino.' I heard that it takes three and a half hours to finish performing this opera."

"But aren't ordinary operas between two and three hours? This one is just a bit longer in time."

Luweiya knew that Xia De couldn't appreciate opera too much, so she also understood that he felt this was a waste of time:

"Mr. Watson, do you know what a precious opportunity it is to be able to appreciate the performance of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe?"

She happily held Xia De's arm and entered Hall No. 1 from the side door with him. When Xia De lowered his head to confirm the seat number on the ticket, the purple-eyed girl also smiled and made a prophecy:

"When we return to Tobesk and tell Dorothy that I was able to see the performance of Golden Dawn, she will definitely be jealous of me... I can also hear Miss Vanessa Benanice's singing voice in a while; this is truly exciting."

Luweiya could appreciate high art better than the outsider.

"The most important thing tonight is indeed this... In a while, I will introduce Margaret to you."

Xia De was still a bit embarrassed when mentioning this. Margaret's other mission in Randall Valley City was to accept Miss Benanice's test to become her apprentice, and Margaret and Miss Benanice had also agreed to meet after the opera tonight.

Xia De wanted to take this opportunity to let Margaret (This chapter is not finished!)

meet Luweiya. Luweiya had known about the relationship between Xia De and Margaret after the walk in the snow before the Princess left Tobesk that year, but the Princess of the Southern Kingdom did not know Luweiya.

"Meet? That's fine."

The corners of her mouth curled up, not knowing what she was thinking. Xia De continued to chatter about his recent plans. Currently, he had no clue about the ritual to summon the Evil God, so he planned to visit local folklore and urban legends next week besides the time key matter.

On one hand, it was to look for further clues about the "Mad Earth," and perhaps he could find news about the Chosen; on the other hand, he was really curious about what kind of gift was hidden in the mithril cube left by Mr. Granger.

Everything went smoothly during the opera performance. The Princess and Prince were sitting in the box on the upper floor, so Margaret probably didn't know Xia De was also here.

During this period, there were no sudden artifacts, no thugs attacking with guns, and certainly no cultists jumping out from nowhere. Since Xia De saw that Yin Luna and the "Earth's Chosen" who might exist were not at this occasion, of course there wouldn't be such accidents. Although he often encountered strange things and dangerous adventures, those things were all touched by him actively, and not accidents actively coming to his side.
