Chapter 1250

~10 min read 1,831 words

Xia De did not recognize the wrong person, and what was in front of him was not an illusion. Because he had used the mystery 【Sleeping Princess】 to help this witch and had borrowed her power many times in the mystery, Xia De was very familiar with Miss Fiona Fiona Delage's power.

The person in front of him was undoubtedly the girl he had met at the Gadis Library. From the Thousand Tree Forest of the Western Continent to the Dead Silence Valley of the Central Continent, and now to the Eternal Night City of the Northern Continent, Xia De had met the founder of Saint Byron's for the third time.

"Miss Fiona Fiona Delage?"

He called the young witch's name again, the pronunciation was standard Fifth Era language, but the red dragon witch dressed as a maid still just asked repeatedly:

"Welcome to the Dragon Maid Cafe, what would you like?"

Her expression was somewhat dull, and no real emotions could be felt in her eyes. Seeing this situation, Xia De could only reach out to touch her forehead, wanting to investigate the situation more carefully:

"Oh, the last time we met she was seventh-tier, in just four short years, she is already eleventh-tier? Miss Feilianna and Miss Oulannode are really..."

Then a great force came:

"Rude!"

The witch grabbed Xia De's hand and tried to press him directly to the ground, but at this time Xia De had already scattered into a pile of flying red butterflies. As the witch's tail swept over, sweeping two butterflies that couldn't dodge into red light spots, most of the red butterfly group had already gathered beside the white table closest to the door, and Xia De sat down at the table:

"Sorry, please give me the menu."

Miss Fiona Delage stood dull in place, and it took at least a minute before she walked over, handed the menu into his hand, and then stood quietly to the side waiting.

The cover of the red-skinned menu had the shop name in gold. After opening it, the left side of each page was a picture, and the right side was a text introduction.

The content on the first page was written:

【Golden Crispy Pancake blessed by the Great One - God of Wealth "Golden Living," after eating, the eater's wealth luck will rise within 72 hours.】

【The pancake may have the texture of living juice, this is the god's blessing.】

The price was written below:

【Need to pay 30 ounces (approx. 850.49g) of gold, or sacrifice 1.5 pounds (approx. 0.68kg) of your own body to the night.】

This price was actually quite reasonable, but I don't know how strong the 72-hour wealth luck is.

Xia De turned to the second page, and the following content was equally astonishing:

【Demon King's Soul Black Coffee, after drinking, fall into a high-level evil spirit demon.】

【Not anyone is qualified to drink this food, trash souls please do not order.】

【Need to pay your own soul, or a satisfying story.】

The illustration was bubbling coffee, the page was depicted in such detail that Xia De could see thousands of wailing souls reaching out from the coffee, as if it were a black lava hell.

Xia De blinked and turned to the third page:

【Philosopher's Stone Macaron, can be taken away.】

【Made by the Great Sage, a delicate dessert, eating too much will not lead to obesity or tooth decay.】

The illustration was a very common colorful small round cake, and Little Mia liked this kind of dessert. Although there was no description of its effect, it was likely that this was actually the real Philosopher's Stone carved into the shape of a small round cake, the greatest achievement of alchemy.

Of course, the price was also not cheap:

【Need to pay 10 gallons (approx. 45.46L) of Moon Water.】

Xia De calculated, at the speed of producing "Moon Water" from the ritual in his own building, even if he waited until Yin Luna, who was celebrating her 17th birthday today, reached the age of Priest Ao Gu Si, he would never be able to gather so many materials.

Knowing he couldn't waste time, he didn't read every page of the menu carefully, but turned directly to the last page. Sure enough, just as he thought, the "Dragon Maid Cafe" didn't just sell snacks and coffee; everything in the shop name was sold here.

【Half-blood Dragon Maid - Fiona Fiona Delage. Eleventh-tier witch, eleventh-ring mage, lost in the Eternal Night City, red dragon royal father's side, half-blood spirit mother's side.】

【

A beautiful mortal woman, understands time, but does not understand the greatness of the night.】

The illustration on the side was a very beautiful and detailed portrait of the red dragon witch. She was wearing a black and white maid dress, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, her large red tail dragging on the floor, bypassing the black leather shoes that were faintly visible at the bottom of the dress, the tip of the tail stopping behind her feet, and there was a small package by her feet. The background was this cafe, but compared to the detailed portrait of the maid herself, the cafe looked somewhat simplified.

【Permanent control right, need to pay light.】

"Light?"

It didn't write the quantity here, so Xia De didn't know exactly how much. But in any case, he couldn't let Miss Fiona stay here. Not only because she was his friend, but he needed to know the current situation, and Saint Byron's also needed this future principal.

"Maid, I want this." He placed the menu on the table and said to Fiona. The red dragon girl looked down at the menu:

"The guest has purchased a maid, how would you like to pay?"

"Hmm... what channels do you allow for payment here?"

Xia De asked back.

So Fiona turned and walked toward the counter, then she brought out a black glass jar. This kind of glass jar was often used to store materials that could not be directly exposed to light; Xia De's basement had them.

"Please use this."

She opened the lid of the glass jar. Xia De subconsciously glanced inside, and the darkness that seemed to lead directly to the bottomless abyss immediately made him dizzy.

All the moonlight around lit up, and the black jar immediately gave up the ordinary light around it. From Xia De's fingertips, several silver threads connected to the depths of the black jar. The light was being rapidly absorbed by the black jar.

"How much do I need to pay?"

Xia De asked Fiona on the side, feeling the rapid consumption of spirit in his body. These places where the Tree Father gave tests not only had no concept of time and space, but spirit and physical strength could almost not be recovered.

The maid did not answer, just stood there quietly watching Xia De's hand. Xia De knew he couldn't waste too much time, so he simply summoned his life ring and released "Light Spell" in his strongest posture.

Under normal conditions, such a light spell would be enough to wash half the city with moonlight, but at this time it only added hundreds of silver bright lines between Xia De's fingers and the black jar.

The rapid consumption of spirit did not bring any optimistic signs. The black jar was continuously absorbing the light, and Xia De just waited intently. He wasn't worried that this was a trap; he knew that such places valued honesty the most.

During the wait while feeling his spirit being constantly consumed, Xia De also discovered that in this state, with light connecting from his fingers to the other end, he could manipulate light "deformation" more easily than usual, that is, letting light change into other forms.

This ability allowed him to develop several different variations of the basic miracle "Moonlight Slash" when he was at a low ring. And taking advantage of this precious state, Xia De pondered the changes of his offensive miracles again.

The first thing he thought of was the "Sun in the Palm" that Iluna showed Miss Galina not long ago, so gradually, the moonlight changed from Xia De's fingertips to appearing from his palm, as if he were holding a round silver moon:

"But this has no attack power."

Thinking in his heart, he thought of his miracle 【Binding Halo】, so he painstakingly turned the silver ball in his palm into a ring floating in his palm.

This process was quite difficult and took nearly five minutes to complete. And looking at the dense silver threads overflowing from the ring in his hand connecting to the black jar, like a moldy donut, Xia De felt that compared to actual attack power, the mental attack produced by this appearance might be stronger.

"The simple ring still has no attack power. Even if I put it on my head, I can't become an angel myself."

He continued to ponder, and then controlled the outer edge of the ring to appear with lead-toothed light blades. But this just simply changed the appearance of 【Binding Halo】 and would not enhance its attack power. This was like drawing the shape of "King" on Little Mia's forehead with ink, which wouldn't turn Little Mia the cat into Big Mia the tiger.

The change in appearance was not enough to produce fundamental changes.

But Xia De could no longer continue to ponder, because the rapid

withdrawal of light had already made his own spirit lack to a very dangerous degree. The 【Pink Bottle of Desire】 could not be brought here, and even if Xia De was partially exempt from the rule that spirit could not be recovered, the slow recovery speed was not enough to offset such a terrifying consumption. And considering that he didn't know what would happen next, the current situation was quite dangerous.

【Then, give up this witch?】 "She" asked with a smile.

"How is that possible?"

Xia De said, and actually reached his glowing hand directly into the black jar. The darkness swallowed his hand, but the faint light of the silver moon protected Xia De's hand from disappearing completely. The void, darkness made the withdrawal of spirit more rapid, and even the life ring behind him appeared to be tottering. But just at this moment, in the middle of the flowing light, some burning golden remnants appeared. As the skin on Xia De's fingers appeared with terrifying wrinkles like being scorched, golden light shot out from the cracks.

The cracks soon spread to the back of Xia De's entire hand, and the light of the divine remnants completely illuminated the mouth of the black jar. Xia De also stopped casting "Light Spell" at this time. The darkness seemed to fear the light of divinity, and in just a few seconds, the container itself trembled. With a slight sound, spider-web-like cracks clearly appeared on the surface of the black glass jar.
