Chapter 1345

~10 min read 1,891 words

This week Mia was always taken out by Xia De. Now that it was the weekend, the cat was determined not to go out again. Therefore, after Xia De returned home and opened the door, it drilled out of Xia De's arms and then rushed directly to the third floor, refusing to come down from the expensive astrolabe of Luweiya in Room 1 on the third floor no matter how Xia De called.

So, Xia De had to go to Randall Valley himself. When he arrived at the main hall of the Church of the Forgotten, he also glanced at the old photo of the Watson family placed next to the stone statue of Mr. Lasers, and considered for a while but didn't take it away.

Borrowed a horse from the Wilde Opera Troupe, and then rode to the Osenfort Manor outside the city. Because the journey was long, when Xia De crossed the small bridge and saw the distant view of the Osenfort Manor in the distance of the slightly gloomy forest, the time had already reached 2:30 in the afternoon.

Stone Osenfort was not at home this time either. If he hadn't seen him appear with his wife once, Xia De sometimes even wanted to suspect whether these two people were actually one person.

In the cold and slightly dilapidated manor, there were only Mrs. Hela Osenfort and the strange maid and old butler. Xia De and Hela Osenfort still met in that familiar reception room. After the maid exited the room, Xia De handed the letters and photos he took back from Captain Woody to her:

"Your husband entrusted me to send this to the manor."

Hela Osenfort still wore a veil and a black long dress that looked like a nun's habit. She took those things silently, and then placed them on her lap to watch.

"I met Captain Woody and chatted about the things between you and your husband in the past. You two seemed to be very loving in the past?"

The eyes under the veil looked at Xia De: "I still love him."

The voice seemed colder than the previous few times.

"Okay, really sorry, my way of saying it is problematic. Oh, also, six days ago, that is, this Monday, I went to the Watson Manor."

Xia De said again, but Hela Osenfort had no reaction this time, as if it had nothing to do with her. "Those were the places where your relatives lived."

Xia De reminded.

"Yes, I know."

Hela Osenfort said. Xia De looked at her suspiciously:

"Perhaps I am meddling, I saw some ghosts in that house and heard them talk about things in the past. Three years ago..."

"You shouldn't have anything else, right?" The woman asked suddenly, Xia De was stunned:

"Yes, there is nothing after sending the things."

So Hela Osenfort stood up and left from the door. And that maid outside the door signaled Xia De that he could follow her to leave, and Xia De could only end this visit in a hurry:

"Did you see it clearly just now?"

【Yes, even when driving you away, she was still expressionless. This is not deliberately disguised indifference; the facial muscle texture and pupils did not have any surprise or sadness in emotional changes.】

Although Hela Osenfort wore a veil, the veil was not very thick, so these details were seen clearly. "Is that so... So, a new possibility has appeared again."

Because Xia De didn't stay in the Osenfort Manor for too long, he was only about four o'clock when he returned to the city. He didn't stay in the city for long, but went home to focus on reading the memoir he found in the cave of the Black Night Temple.

When opening the book in the study, the sky outside was still very bright, but when Mia jumped onto the table and scratched Xia De's hand, even the gas lamps in St. Deran Square were already lit:

"Time is really fast."

Xia De stretched, closed the book, and recalled the story of Mr. Lehman's life he just read.

That gentleman did bring out three butterfly girls from the worm cave, probably because of this reason, he still retained memories after leaving there. And after leaving that cave, he moved his whole family to the Randall Valley area of the Fifth Era, and then with the help of Sister Perry who was stationed locally, the family branched out.

Xia De didn't finish reading that very thick memoir, but only read one-third of it, until Mr. Lehman was thirty-two years old. It can be seen that his life was very happy, living in the Fifth Era, this is probably the best ending.

He planned to take time at night to briefly go through the rest of the content. This might be helpful for visiting the old cemetery of the Granger family tomorrow.

Dorothy went to her parents' house for dinner tonight, and Lei Qianya didn't have time to see Xia De. The house seemed a bit cold, so Xia De went to Old John's pawnshop first, took the paint that had been prepared and could be painted in the night, and then took Mia to Randall Valley to find Luweiya.

When walking from the winter night into the lively and warm Abundant Earth Hotel, Xia De was stopped by the hotel waiter again: "Are you Mr. John Watson who rented Room 302 on the third floor?"

Because Xia De needed a local contact address for people like Osenfort to send letters, he rented a room next to Luweiya.

"Yes, I am John Watson, may I ask if there is anything?"

"Half an hour ago, someone sent you a package, please come with me to the counter to pick it up."

The person who sent the package was a boy selling newspapers on the street, and no name was left on the package. And after Xia De unpacked the package, what he saw was a brass-colored jewelry box that was quite exquisite. After opening it, the hexagonal white gem lay quietly inside:

"Actually sent it directly."

Xia De touched the gem and confirmed that this was what he was looking for, and then walked up the stairs to find Luweiya. (Little Mia is running...)

Monday morning, the sunlight passed through the foul-smelling thick fog covering Randall Valley, and from the window where the curtains had been drawn, shone into Room 301 at the end of the third floor of the Abundant Earth Hotel.

Beside the simple dressing table next to the large bed in the bedroom, Luweiya, who had changed her clothes and was preparing to go downstairs for dinner, was observing her complexion in the mirror. The telescopic cosmetic metal storage box beside her that looked like an exhibition stand had been opened, but the purple-eyed girl still hadn't decided which one to use.

Every time she spent a night with Xia De, she found that her whole state felt refreshed, which was quite good.

The sunlight shone on her from the side, making her profile have a strong three-dimensional sense. Luweiya admired herself in the mirror, feeling that those witches were nothing special.

And Xia De had also put on his coat at this time, walked back from the washroom, and put Mia into his pocket as a toy: "Luweiya, wait for me, let's go downstairs for breakfast together in a while."

He shook the time key in his hand, while Luweiya still looked at herself in the mirror: "Then you go quickly."

She heard Xia De whisper in Elvish "May the World Tree protect me in infinite time", and heard the lock that should have had no sound make a "click~" sound.

The door was opened with a creak, and then Xia De's footsteps disappeared. 【Outlander, you stepped into the "Corridor of Time".】

【Message from the Ancient God "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Autumn, 3028, Fifth Era, Northern Continent, City of Eternal Night.】 【Event: Whispers of the Curtain of Eternal Night.】

【Duration 40 minutes (3/4).】 【You obtained extra information.】

【The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches you.】

【The test given to you by the Ancient God of Time will continue.】

【Help mortals break through the labyrinth of eternal night and explore the truth behind the curtain.】 【The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Spirit Rune - Black Night.】

Stepped out of the door into the white fog, and then stepped from the white fog into that pitch-black and cold rainy night.

The smell of damp soil rushed toward him, but Xia De didn't hate this smell. The city sleeping in the dark night was still the same, and in front of Xia De was the sign of the 【Midnight Art Gallery】 moistened by rain.

The rain soon wet Xia De's clothes, and the little sparks on both sides of the street were also disappearing rapidly, letting the night that seemed to be able to make everything sleep gather toward Xia De.

This time Xia De didn't

run into the room in panic, but watched the night get closer and closer, feeling the power very similar to the "Black Night Temple". When the dark night was about to reach his side, he pushed open the door of the art gallery and walked in.

Although the light in the art gallery could not be compared with the previous coffee shop and watch shop, at least after walking in from the rainy street, he felt that it was still very bright here.

Xia De looked at the corner, the glowing three-color thorns clung to the simple fence, and in the center of the fence was a single tent. He could vaguely see the girl with a big tail curled up in the tent, Fiona was still sleeping.

If Xia De's "Thorn of the Moon" is not actively canceled or destroyed by him, the spell effect will last until the arrival of the next night. The City of Eternal Night does not exist at all during the day, and of course, there is no next night. Therefore, theoretically, this thorn can even exist until the next era.

Pop!

After snapping his fingers lightly, the three-color thorn cluster turned into light spots and dissipated. Then Xia De restored Mia, and then entered the fence. As for bringing this cat this time, it was because they still needed to move in the City of Eternal Night, and they would rely on Mia's ability to glow to protect Xia De and Fiona's safety.

Of course, the most important thing now is to wake Fiona up. However, when Xia De opened the tent and saw the girl with a big tail curled up and hugging herself, the small flame on the tip of her tail was still burning, but she herself did not wake up immediately like last time.

"Hmm?"

Fiona was covered with a layer of scarlet light at this time, and Xia De was quite familiar with the nature of that light, which represented the moonlight of the red moon. At the same time, Xia De noticed that the red dragon girl's back seemed to be bulging. Under the clothes on her back, something was being bound, and then he realized that it seemed to be a pair of small wings.
