Chapter 1332: Her Apology

That night, Xia De didn't return to Tobeisk, but spent the night in the Randell Valley with Little Xiao Miya. As for the configuration of the pigments for painting in the night, he planned to find Old John in Tobeisk to help tomorrow.

Although the Golden Dawn Opera House was based in the Wang Erde Opera House, in reality, Miss Benanisi and Miss La Se Si didn't live in the opera house; they still lived in a manor in the east of the city.

Hearing that Xia De didn't plan to go home tonight, the witch invited Xia De and Luweiya to stay at her manor. Xia De looked at Luweiya, and after the latter nodded, he agreed.

In short, this was another very warm and gentle night. Because Xia De hadn't spent the night in the Randell Valley for a week, when he was whispering to Luweiya that night, the girl who was in his arms, with her brown hair stuck to her skin by sweat, complained in a low voice that she seemed to have lost her attraction to him.

"I'm just not used to not spending the night at home. The nights at 6 St. Derand Square are truly reassuring."

Xia De said his reason, and Luweiya's eyes noticed the faint trace on his chest, then said softly:

"I know. Yiluna said, 【I Love My Home】, right? Oh, aren't you learning that very difficult strange art 【Moon Dream】? I think what you lack is deep sleep; you always sleep very lightly. This time, let me guide you into a dream, how about that? Try it, maybe you'll succeed next time, and you can have a good dream."

"Of course."

Xia De nodded in agreement, so Luweiya extended her fair arm, which still had a blush on the skin, and took that obsidian pendulum from the bedside table. She shook the pendulum, letting Xia De stare at the swaying obsidian under the moonlight outside the window. Xia De's eyes gradually became blurred. Under the condition that Xia De completely trusted her, the purple-eyed girl successfully hypnotized him, so the heavy-hearted Outsider fell onto the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

Luweiya sighed lightly, carefully putting the pendulum back into the box on the bedside, and then curled into the quilt, leaning against Xia De's chest to prepare for sleep. But suddenly she opened her eyes again, placing her right hand on the palm print trace that had become very faint:

"The same size."

Luweiya Anate said softly. The moonlight illuminated her slightly raised, artwork-like cheeks, which showed an extremely complex expression:

"Xia De..."

Biting her lip, she raised her right hand but lowered her middle finger slightly, letting the middle finger pad brush across Xia De's face illuminated by the moonlight outside the window. He slept very sweetly. Although Xia De described his actions in the afternoon quite lightly, he had indeed been busy for a whole day.

The purple eyes reflected the silver moon, making the transparent purple even more fascinating. The female diviner asked lightly in her heart:

"Is it you?"

【What?】

Her own voice sounded in her heart.

"Ever since I stepped onto the thirteen-ring path of the Ringed Shushi, you have always mysteriously given me help, but refused to explain all the things clearly, guiding me to capture the fate trajectory of the Chosen One, and informing me of special divination methods. I know, I have always known that my other self is different from ordinary people. But you... shouldn't have hurt him."

Luweiya bit her lip again, brushing Xia De's chest with her finger:

"No need to ask me how I know. This trace is related to you; it's easy to guess. Seeing this, I even imagined the scene of you hitting him from a distance. I know, you are me, and I am you. This point won't change for any reason. So, I can forgive you for anything, but you shouldn't... hurt him."

The voice in her ear didn't give an answer immediately. Luweiya stroked Xia De's cheek again with heartache, then kissed Xia De's lips lightly.

【Sorry.】

"Luweiya" whispered in Luweiya's ear.

The purple-eyed girl shook her head:

"What he did at the Night Temple is also related to you, right? The time he was injured was also after returning from the Night Temple last time."

【Sorry.】

The voice in her ear was very low.

Luweiya didn't say anything else, but carefully pulled the quilt up again, leaning against Xia De's chest and closing her eyes.

The moonlight outside the window illuminated the embracing man/woman. It illuminated the back of Xia De's head, Xia De's profile, and Luweiya's profile.

For a long time, behind Luweiya, that transparent figure appeared. Although almost completely transparent, the eyes had obvious purple arcs, and there was endless sadness in the eyes.

The transparent figure almost overlapped with Luweiya herself, also in a lying position. She wanted to reach out to touch Xia De's face in the moonlight, but as soon as her arm reached into the moonlight, it was caught by another hand emitting silver light traces. That hand was clearly a woman's hand, slender and delicate.

Thus, the transparent arm froze. The purple eyes widened. But when she looked again, she saw nothing. Under the moonlight, only her own transparent arm remained, staying at a distance of only 1 inch from Xia De.

"Illusion..."

The long-haired Luweiya didn't go to touch Xia De's face again, but withdrew her arm, overlapping her body completely with Luweiya's. She also leaned her face against Xia De's chest, feeling the vigorous life force and the powerful heartbeat:

"Good night, Xia De, my... lover."

(Yiluna is praying...)

After waking up on Friday, Xia De noticed that it was another gloomy weather in the Randell Valley today. The sky wasn't snowing, but the fog in the city was quite thick, almost the same as the situation in Tobeisk. But when Xia De opened the window, what he smelled wasn't the familiar burnt smell, but a stench of rotting vegetable leaves that was hard to describe.

When eating breakfast in the morning, Xia De also talked about this with Miss Benanisi, but the witch looked at Luweiya's radiant appearance and just said absent-mindedly that she also didn't know what had happened this time.

However, her follower brought new news. Yesterday, when the four of them went to the mountain area, within 24 hours, another 492 cases of "petrification plague" symptoms appeared in the Randell Valley area.

Among them, the mildest symptoms were just the inability to move the toes, while the most dangerous cases had already died due to organ failure. And after two days of experience with nearly a thousand cases, the church and doctors also summarized their experience:

Over ninety percent of all petrification symptoms first appeared in the lower limbs, and then spread toward the upper body. Moreover, the more places in the Randell Valley one had walked through within a month before the onset of the disease, the more severe the petrification symptoms were.

In other words, guys like Xia De who ran around the Randell Valley area all day would probably be the most severe type once infected with the "petrification plague."

So far, except for the "absolute safe zone" of the Sun Church and devout prayer, no treatment method that could be popularized on a large scale had been found in two days, but at least the area around the church could indeed prevent the spread of petrification on the body to a certain extent.

Therefore, Miss Bernice told Xia De that the houses around the local Sun Church were undergoing emergency renovations, as the Sun Church was attempting to establish a large-scale area around the church to house patients. The expenses for this were to be borne 30% by the Sun Church, 30% by the Kingdom's appropriation, and 10% by each of the other churches.

After all, for the believers of the Sun and Earth Gods, this was an excellent opportunity for missionary work.

Xia De currently had five Holy Grails in his hand: Healing, Sweetness, Gold-Stone, Conservation, and Memory. The treatment potion produced by the Healing Holy Grail, although low-efficiency, was still useful; the strange, sturdy black stone made by the Gold-Stone Holy Grail was also a useful extraordinary material; and the Conservation Holy Grail and Memory Holy Grail were even more useful.

Therefore, after breakfast that day, Xia De took out the "Sweetness Holy Grail" and gave it to Miss Benanisi, letting her configure it into a magic potion and trade it to the church, which could also make the church change its attitude toward the Witch Council.

At the same time, the potion produced by his "Healing Holy Grail" could not only cure diseases but also treat some minor curses. Xia De thought this might also be useful for the petrification plague, so he gave it to the witch, letting her test whether it had any effect.

If it really had an effect, then Miss Benanisi could dispose of it as she pleased.

As for Xia De himself, after breakfast, he went out with Luweiya and Xiao Miya.

Even though it was eight o'clock in the morning, because of the heavy fog, the city was as dark as it was before dawn. The destination of the two was the Dawn Church. Xia De had made an appointment with Shi Dong Aosenfute to meet him at the entrance of the Dawn Church at nine o'clock on Wednesday.

The urban planning of Randell Valley City was quite interesting. The entire city was divided into four parts by two huge rivers that crossed and flowed through it, and the churches of the Five Gods were all on both sides of the river.

The belief in the Sun and Earth God "Lamp-Holding Old Man" was the dominant belief in the local area. This could be judged from the location of the church and the tall side tower of the church that could be seen from afar. The Dawn Church was located in the northwest of the Randell Valley, on the east bank of the Ailong River.

Although the belief in 【Mr. Dawn】 in the local area wasn't as good as the Sun God, at least the church in a large transportation hub city like this was still magnificent. When the carriage carrying Xia De and Luweiya passed through the strange thick fog covering the city and arrived at the location of the Dawn Church, the entrance of the church, which occupied a large area on the east bank of the Ailong River, was already crowded with people.

It was only 8:20, and there was still half an hour until the appointed time with Shi Dong Aosenfute. So after getting off the carriage, Xia De and Luweiya walked into the church while talking about the differences between here and Tobeisk. Xia De had gotten a bottle of No. 1 Holy Water from a gift box on Monday, and it just happened that the task was to go to the church for worship. Since he was here, he might as well handle this matter. ===== CHAPTER 1333 =====
