Chapter 1239: The Full Fruit

"I have no intention of disturbing your 'tryst', I just forgot to tell you something just now."

Miss Galina said, her eyes casually scanning the room, then noticing the cat on the bed looking at her:

"Sylvia asked me to inform you that your investment was successful. Her experiment achieved a key breakthrough, and the yield rate of the steam factory trial samples is also very high. Probably this autumn or winter, you will be able to get your first dividend."

"Investment?"

Xia De thought for a moment, then remembered what Miss Sylvia said before leaving. He even gave the young great witch 5000 pounds:

"Successful? That is to say, synthetic fiber..."

Xia De raised his eyebrows. This was quite an incredible achievement. Miss Sylvia thus became the first person in this world to synthesize artificial fiber. This is an achievement worthy of being recorded in history books. "What synthetic fiber, weren't you cooperating to invest in women's clothing textiles?"

Galina Cavendish said, stepping back two steps, lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands and spinning in a circle:

"I specifically changed into a nightgown with a higher hem, and you actually didn't notice what was different about me from before?"

Tifa on the side quietly pointed with her finger. Xia De followed her direction, his gaze moving down, seeing the black form-fitting fabric wrapping her feet and lower legs. In this world, this kind of fabric is quite rare, and he had only seen it on the great witch of the Fifth Era. The petite feet were wrapped, and the clothing form-fittingly outlined the perfect curves of the legs. The translucent black fabric extended upwards into the hem of the skirt, leaving just the right amount of room for imagination. He blinked his eyes and said quite gratified:

"It's truly amazing, Miss Sylvia actually succeeded so quickly! I dare say, this is definitely one of the most important inventions in the human world in this century! The success of synthetic fiber not only means that the textile industry has found another path, but also means that chemistry and..."

"I finally understand why Sylvia would take a fancy to you, Xia De, is that all you want to say?" Miss Galina stared at him with wide eyes. This time, without Tifa's reminder, Xia De understood it himself:

"This pair of fabric is very suitable for you, very beautiful, very beautiful. However, I think, if it weren't for this pair of fabric, being able to let me directly see your... that would be even more beautiful."

His eyes were fixed on those black shoes, his gaze moving from bottom to top:

"So perfect, just like a work of art. Although the clothing serves as decoration, it instead makes it impossible for me to see the fair color and perfect lines..."

Unable to resist being curious about what kind of nylon Miss Sylvia could actually produce, Xia De suggested: "Can I touch it?"

"Oh, knight, what kind of request is this? It's truly unseemly!"

The witch's face was rarely flushed red. Girls of this era cannot be easily seen in the legs, let alone evaluated like Xia De did:

"It's truly vulgar... it's truly..."

She turned and left, but it didn't look like she was angry at Xia De, but was truly shy. Xia De still wanted to speak, but Tifa suddenly kissed his side face:

"Have a good dream, knight."

She said softly, her right index finger pressing on her own lips, then pressing on Xia De's mouth, before quickly following Miss Galina.

Xia De also followed to the corridor, standing at the door watching them walk into the master bedroom on the third floor next door. Before entering the door, Miss Galina looked at Xia De, then turned her head with a red face and didn't speak to him.

It wasn't until the maids urged Xia De to return to the bedroom to rest, and declared that Miss Galina would not come to see him tonight, that he returned to his room.

The cat was still looking at him on the bed. Just now, this cat thought she would have to sleep in the cloakroom again tonight. 【What, do you regret refusing the witch at the dinner table?】

Suddenly hearing "her" voice in his ear, Xia De thought for a moment, picked up the cat and climbed onto the bed. It was indeed time to sleep:

"Thinking about it now, I do regret it a little. But I also said just now, let Miss Galina consider it herself. Moreover, this is indeed a promise between Ricia and me. I am a very honest person... yes, very honest. Promised Luvia that I would go to the end, promised Dorothy that I would always give her stories, promised Ricia about Miss Galina..."

He didn't turn off the lights immediately, but lay on that gorgeously exaggerated four-poster bed, leaning on the head of the bed on his side, feeling the smoothness of the quilt and the softness of the mattress, looking at the starry sky outside through the window.

"She" laughed softly in his ear:

【Sixth Era, 1854, late winter, Month of Sparse Stars. Lying on the bed looking at the starry sky, the stars blink at you. Sad traveler, do you know how many people cannot sleep tonight because of you? When you take away a heart, you are destined to accommodate that heart. And these gentle warmth that is enough to fill the chest will accompany you to sleep on many, many long nights. The thread of bonds connects you and her, and this is also your anchor in this world. A new star has appeared in the starry sky, this is a night worth remembering. May you have a small harbor in this world and no longer be lonely.】

"This doesn't sound like your tone of voice... why say these words?"

Xia De blinked his eyes looking at the starry sky outside the window. The air in the suburbs was very good, and even in the Month of Sparse Stars, one could still see those shining stars. Mia stood on Xia De, who was lying on his side, and also looked out the window.

【The reunion after a long separation, and the respect and understanding you showed for her, as well as that just-right ambiguity. The fruit of the bond has already become full. A current great witch has given you her heart.】

Xia De interpreted this as "favorability is full".

"When it was Ricia, Luvia, and Dorothy, you didn't say... well, you did say it." He still remembered the sentences "chaste blood" and "red butterflies fly with you".

"She" smiled gently, and Xia De also revealed a smile. After a moment-

【Traveler.】 "I am here."

【The night is very deep, sleep.】 "Then, goodnight."

He closed his eyes and gradually entered dreamland. Seeing Xia De's breathing gradually become even, Mia also jumped off his body, lay down in front of Xia De's face facing the window, meowed softly, curled into a cat ball shape, and also closed her amber eyes.

【It is very late, sleep.】 "Then, good night."

(Little Mia running...)

After breakfast at the manor early Saturday morning, Xia De entered the city with Miss Galina, who was going to the Yodel Palace, and then headed to Randall Valley City according to the plan.

Margaret's schedule was very full recently. Xia De did not find her that morning, so he went to the Wilde Opera House, gave all the documents from the Stonemason Association to Miss Bernice, and entrusted her to take them to Margaret. "Also this, Earth Power summons stone statues."

He did not forget to take out that small statue. Although the witch had already heard him recount his experience on Thursday, she was still surprised:

"This can even be called 'summoning golem', yes, this is very suitable for me. The rumors of moving stone statues in the Stonemason Association have existed for hundreds of years, yet you solved it in one night. This is definitely not a coincidence, do you still master any special investigation techniques?"

Xia De just had the special diviner Luvia with him.

"This could even be called 'Summon Golem'; yes, it suits me very well. The rumors of moving stone statues in the Stonemasons' Society have existed for hundreds of years, yet you solved it in a single night. This is definitely not a coincidence. Do you possess some special investigative techniques?"

He asked.

"Still retracing the path her father once took, there haven't been many discoveries yet. However, the three auction items suspected to be related to 'Heart of the Earth' in the auction house have basically been determined in location. Come to me next Monday to get the documents, and then we can launch a new round of investigation."

The progress of the girls of the Golden Dawn was faster than Xia De thought.

"In addition, regarding the evil god believers appearing locally, the Five Gods Church of this diocese decided to take immediate action against them to avoid things like last summer in Tobesk. When I heard the wind, the Five Gods Church had already formulated a plan, and there will probably be a big action this weekend."

The witch was completely treating this as an interesting story, after all, neither she nor Xia De participated in it:

"That evil cultist who masters 【Earth Power·Stone Avatar】, if there are no accidents, should be the key arrest target of this operation. I will also be there at that time and try to catch him away. Now the news that the fifth candidate is about to appear in Randall Valley has been confirmed by the three major academies and the Five Gods Church. The church wants to use this operation to deter the ring-sorcerers from all over the world who were attracted by the news of the candidate, hoping they can succeed."

Saying this, she looked at Xia De:

"So this weekend, I hope you will give up all actions in Randall Valley and wait until the church's big action is over."

This was also for Xia De's safety. Xia De knew she cared about him very much:

"No problem, I didn't plan to do anything locally on the weekend anyway. I will go home in a while, there is an important meeting in Tobesk in the afternoon, and tomorrow I will attend Princess Angelina Cavendish's seventeenth birthday banquet, it will be very lively."

Miss Bernice frowned slightly while holding the small statue covered with golden runes:

"Angelina Cavendish? I have only heard Galina and Sylvia talk about Ricia Cavendish and you."

Angelina is a princess who does not participate in politics and rarely appears in the newspapers of the Southern Kingdom, so Miss Bernice was not even sure if she had heard the name. After all, there are too many princesses in the Cavendish royal family.

"She is Ricia's sister. Although she is an ordinary person, her inspiration is very high. I even believe she has the talent of a prophet. Ricia intends to help her gain freedom, and Angelina also longs for her sister's recognition and help."

Xia De briefly explained the situation, and the corners of Miss Bernice's mouth, painted with lipstick, curled up slightly:

"So, the young royal princess who longs for freedom sought help from the honest, kind, compassionate, young, handsome, and strong knight? So, her relationship with you is also very good? Oh, I can guess from your expression. Then, can you satisfy this 'old woman's' curiosity, what exactly does the statue you plan to give that little princess look like?"

Xia De explained the situation simply, and the corners of Miss Bernice's lipstick-painted mouth curled up slightly:

"So, a young royal princess longing for freedom sought help from an honest, kind, compassionate, young, handsome, and strong knight? In that case, her relationship with you must be quite good? Oh, I can guess just by looking at your expression. Then, could you satisfy this 'old woman's' curiosity: what exactly does the statue you intend to give that little princess look like?"
