Chapter 1317: The Angry Witch

"Count Granger is certainly no problem, but the connection between the Granger family and the Guardian, and even the Chosen One, certainly won't be just these. I plan to visit the old family cemetery of the Granger family. This is one of the clues about the key."

Xia De said, taking the key from Luvia's hand:

"Also, the Guardians certainly know what this key represents. Those souls are wary of... the demon. Therefore, searching for those dangerous and crazy lands locally, if I cannot solve it alone, the Guardians will certainly appear again."

He said this word cautiously. Luvia, who had long known about this, was not surprised. Miss Bernice and Miss Lassus frowned:

"What?"

"In the St. Perry Cemetery, the nun who left had said that there is not only a Guardian locally, but also that evil power. Now it has been proven that the evil power is that ancient evil spirit."

Xia De's expression remained unchanged:

"Yes, I knew about this a long time ago."

"Why didn't you tell us before!"

Miss Bernice's voice suddenly became louder. She looked at Xia De angrily:

"So, you running around in the city these days is you investigating alone, investigating the evil spirit demon of the Third Era?"

Miss Lassus was not angry. She looked at Xia De with great concern:

"It wouldn't be related to that Stone Osenfort, right? You should have told us."

"I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get involved. And now I tell you because I have already confirmed the demon's identity and have the power to fight it. It's just that I still don't know what it is planning, and don't know what its cooperation with the cultists is for."

Xia De looked at the three ladies, focusing on the angry Miss Bernice:

"You have no connection with that demon. It is wary of the Zhengshen Church and will not easily involve people unrelated to it, so I didn't say anything. That guy is very terrifying. Even the Guardian, because of its wariness of its peeking, dare not appear directly."

"Are you sure you can deal with it?"

Miss Bernice stopped talking. Miss Lassus asked worriedly.

"I have a... secret weapon, but it's not here locally for now, but it's definitely no problem. Also, I got a large batch of alchemical items for exorcism, which are in the suitcase I'm carrying. In a while, you can see how to arrange them. The girls of the Golden Dawn should also need them."

Xia De pointed to the suitcase beside the sofa. Miss Lassus had more worry on her face:

"It seems my progress here also needs to be accelerated. If so, everything makes sense. Besides trying to maintain the normal state of the earth, the Guardians also have their own formidable enemies."

"You don't need to worry about the demon matter. Miss Bernice, please be sure to help Miss Lassus re-walk the path Mr. Lassus walked as soon as possible. This is very important."

Xia De frowned slightly:

"Also, if possible, please let Miss Lassus... no, it must be, master a kind of Earth Power within half a month."

The blonde witch was stunned and looked at Xia De suspiciously:

"I remember you said that one of the characteristics of the Earth Chosen One is mastering Earth Power."

Luvia looked at Xia De, and seeing him nod, she said softly:

"The Council should know now that there is a so-called post-order candidate for the Chosen One. For example, the Chosen One of Death is Joey Barton, but the one who actually performed the ritual was Sister Daifulin."

"Do you think I am a post-order candidate for the Earth Chosen One?"

The young blonde girl tilted her head and pointed at herself.

Xia De nodded:

"Just a guess, but for the sake of complete preparation, if possible, mastering a kind of Earth Power as soon as possible is not a bad thing."

He thought of the end of the adventure of the last Time Key, where the two ladies who participated in the banquet of the Butterfly God, Witch Blachet, obtained a kind of Earth Power, and she belonged to the Forgotten Church:

"The Forgotten Church has been developing locally. Don't you have any records of any Earth Power?"

Even though he had asked once, Xia De still raised this question, but Miss Lassus shook her head embarrassedly:

"Including the Witch Blachet you mentioned in the Fifth Era, we can't find any relevant records."

And the witch on the side hadn't recovered from the demon topic:

"This shouldn't be the first time you've encountered a demon, right?"

She suddenly said. Xia De nodded, looking at the calm liquid surface of the tea on the coffee table in front of him:

"I encountered it three times last year... Don't look at me like that, I have special means to deal with demons."

"The three you mentioned, wouldn't that also include the Human Pus?"

Miss Bernice looked at him:

"That incident happened outside Tobesk, and Galina also participated. Then the Pantanal matter, you have already admitted it has something to do with you, and Miss Mana Feilianna, the founder of your Academy in the Fifth Era, appeared in both times. Now, I know that your Time Key journey is unusual."

Her beautiful green eyes with gold looked directly into Xia De's eyes:

"It seems that Galina and the others saying you are very useful is not a joke."

Xia De shook his head slightly:

"In short, the investigation in my hand has reached almost the last step. If there is no clue in the old cemetery of the Granger family, then what I have to do is just wait. Half a month later... It seems I can be idle for a while. I don't know how things are going with Margaret."

Miss Lassus replied:

"Margaret and the Stonemason Association's negotiations have had a very good start. She will come to report the progress to Bernice tomorrow. And, the two Holy Grails you gave us last night, we have already figured out the specific functions."

She said, letting the servant outside the door help take the two Holy Grails:

"The function of the Memory Holy Grail is very simple, which is very similar to some powers of our church. Inject water into the Holy Grail, and then drink that water. Within a certain period of time, memory will be enhanced. The effect is simple, but very practical."

She placed the Holy Grail Xia De got from Watson Manor on the table, and picked up another one:

"The Holy Grail you and Vanessa got from the Night Temple, the effect identification was slightly troublesome, but fortunately you can read the runes. According to the meaning of the runes, we also tried out the general function. Actually, rather than calling it 'Conservation', it's better to call it 'Antenatal'. The literal function is to let pregnant women take the wine taken out from the Holy Grail, which can make the delivery smoother."

Miss Lassus said, placing the second Holy Grail on the table:

"Water is also okay, but the effect is not comparable to wine. Bernice entrusted Mother Cassandra to let Sister Daifulin check the literature. It seems that in the teachings of the Earth God, it is generally believed that wine is the blood flowing from the earth and has the ability to nurture all living things."

"I thought this was a legend made up by the winery owners to sell goods."

Xia De said. In this way, he had five Holy Grails in his hand. The functions of other Holy Grails were not irreplaceable. Only the function of the "Conservation Holy Grail" was somewhat unique. He planned that if the "Conservation Holy Grail" hadn't been consumed after the Randall Valley incident ended, he would donate it to Snake Heart Hospital. Sister Daifulin's hospital specialized in delivering babies for the poor.

Seeing Miss Bernice still a bit angry, Xia De took out red wine again:

"Want to have a drink together?"

Miss Lassus and Luvia both saw that Xia De wanted to calm the witch's small anger, so they both smiled and didn't speak. The blonde witch took the wine bottle from Xia De's hand:

"Since I am in Randall Valley, if there are any dangerous things in the future, remember to call me."

"Yes, yes, speaking of which, do the other witches of the Witch Council have any plans when to come? I am really looking forward to seeing..."

This time, Vanessa Bernice's anger was successfully transferred to other aspects.

Just like this, the slightly relaxed Tuesday ended. And after Xia De went home that night, besides Mia, the Princess who used the blonde girl's body was also waiting for him at home.

And early Wednesday morning, when Princess Lei Qianya was humming a song and making breakfast in her pajamas, Xia De set up a projection ritual in the living room. After confirming the time, he threw the burning parchment into the water basin and sat on the chair.

After his vision became blurred and clear again, Xia De came to the center of the Saint Byrons Library again. The huge metal astrolabe surrounding the glowing sphere rotated slowly under the dome above his head, and Miss Dannister was still sitting on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, waving her hand to let the students who helped prepare the ritual leave temporarily.

The Saint Byrons Library in the early morning already had the vitality of the beginning of the day. There were quite a few students coming to the library to borrow books and study. Compared with them, Xia De was indeed a bit lazy.

The library administrator lady spoke first:

"It is a good habit for you to come to me for advice once a week like this. After I finish the things in my hand, we can actually set a time for you to report your learning progress to me once a week."

Xia De felt that the nerve endings at his temples seemed to ache:

"Speaking of which, what are you busy with now? Is there any new progress on the investigation of the Kalas Mountain ruins?"

"No, I am very glad that you can care about this matter. But I am busy with the Academy's affairs, business trip, going to Randall Valley, and probably won't be back until spring. Although it's only a month, I still prefer the environment of the Academy."

The female sorceress said somewhat melancholically:

"However, during this period, you can still contact me, but my reply to messages might be a bit slow."

"It doesn't matter."

"Then Xia De, what did you come to me for this time? Is there any progress in the learning of Moon Dream?"

She looked at Xia De, and Xia De hurriedly shook his head:

"Moon Dream is still a bit difficult... Actually, I want to seek your opinion to choose a miracle for the new Spirit Rune."

As he spoke, he had already summoned his own Ring of Life. Miss Dannister tilted her head slightly to look, and then was surprised to see two more Spirit Runes on Xia De's Ring of Life:

"Let me confirm, if my memory is not wrong, we met last time, also on Wednesday."

"Yes, seven days ago, the same as this time, it was also morning, I remember very clearly."

"At that time, your 5th Ring only had one Whisper Spirit Rune?"

"Yes, Whisper 【Puppet】."

"So, in the one week when I thought your learning progress was too slow, you actually got two Spirit Runes?"

"Yes, Miracle and Profane."
