Chapter 1364

"Okay."

Xia De actually wanted to ask what happened to Mia at home since he didn't go home last night, but at this time the other ladies by the bed breathed a sigh of relief, and Xia De could only wait patiently for Luvia to finish feeding the porridge.

After Luvia really finished feeding the rice porridge they had added magic medicine to, they still didn't let Xia De get up, but let Miss Sylvia check Xia De again.

That was not a sorcerer's check, but an ordinary means to check whether his fever had subsided. Miss Sylvia was not only Margaret's tutor but also her private doctor, so it was most appropriate for her to do this kind of thing.

Of course, after the check, it was just as Xia De said, his fever symptoms had completely disappeared, only his body was still a bit weak. Even, because of his own powerful recovery ability, this weakness after recovering from a serious illness was also recovering rapidly.

Xia De even thought that he could fully recover if he stayed in bed for a while longer, but the witches let Xia De rest in bed for the entire morning of this Wednesday. When everyone had lunch together, if he was really fine, then they would allow him to walk around.

And in order to let Xia De have a good rest, except for Luvia, the other ladies temporarily left Xia De's room, leaving only two maids outside the door to wait for orders. Luvia helped Xia De put the pillow well, allowing him to sit on the head of the bed and talk. And she sat by the bed, holding his right hand with her left hand:

"We were really worried to death last night. For a sorcerer, having an ordinary cold is often more terrifying than being poisoned, because this means that powerful physical recovery ability and resistance have disappeared."

She pulled open the drawer of the bedside cabinet with her other hand and took out the small pink perfume bottle:

"I know this relic is very important to you, and sometimes it can even let you make a desperate counterattack, so no matter how worried I am, I cannot forbid you from using it. But you promised me, you cannot use it casually in the future."

She put the bottle on the cabinet, and Xia De nodded.

He actually didn't know what happened to him last night either. He could only guess that the highly toxic substance eroded his body and then perished together with his powerful immunity, which led to the "taking advantage of the weakness" of the cold, but the onset was a bit too fast.

"Speaking of which, I didn't go home last night, I don't know how Mia at home is now."

Xia De asked with worry again. After all, Mia had been at home in Tobesk yesterday.

"You are indeed recovering from a serious illness. Miss Sylvia can also use 【Space Labyrinth】, have you forgotten?"

Luvia said half-worriedly and half-amusedly:

"We all know you will worry about Mia, so we let Miss Sylvia go to the Church of the Forgotten. She couldn't turn the cat into a toy and bring it over, so she sent it to Dorothy. Miss Sylvia worked very hard, you should thank her well in a while. After lunch, you can go back to Tobesk."

Hearing that Mia was fine, Xia De was relieved:

"Did you tell Miss Lathers about Mr. Lathers' situation? I don't know if she can accept this fact."

"Xia De, don't underestimate that girl too much."

Luvia shook her head slightly:

"That night you hugged her and cried until one o'clock in the morning at the Church of the Forgotten, she had actually accepted the fact that her father had left permanently. Last night Miss Bernice took the time to say your discovery and speculation, and she was very calm about it. Compared to caring about her father, she cared more about your condition last night. You don't know how serious your fever was at that time, but it was really just an ordinary cold, and the medicine used by ordinary people was completely useless to you."

That is to say, the fever reduction was actually the result of Xia De's body's natural recovery.

"After your fever subsided this morning, we even joked that if we really want to know what happened to you, the best way is actually to feed you another kind of deadly poison and see if you die directly or have a fever again." Luvia joked, and Xia De asked with concern:

"So, you also didn't sleep all night?"

"In the early morning, over there

by the table, I slept for a while, and later when Miss Lathers wanted to wipe the sweat off your body, I woke up."

She shook her head slightly:

"For a five-ring sorcerer, sleeping a few hours less is no problem at all. Look, aren't I very energetic now? Care more about your own health condition. If you really fall down, what should the family do? Especially your cat, there will really be no one to care about it."

Xia De nodded deeply:

"Since you won't let me get out of bed in the morning, then let's discuss the Lunder Valley matter. Any new news?"

"What new news can there be? Last night's matter ended smoothly, and now everyone knows the truth about the Guardians. But this has no impact on the status quo. The number of people infected with the petrification plague is still increasing, and two more places of mad earth have appeared in the local area one after another. The Five Gods Church is busy. However, the witch found new news, the church is trying to communicate with the Heart of the Earth, trying to contact the Guardian."

Xia De frowned slightly:

"Last night the Guardian told me that because the distortion is becoming more and more serious, they must guard by the Heart of the Earth. Only when the distortion of the earth is temporarily stabilized can they see me again and perform the Chosen One ritual."

"That is to say, as long as we wait for the Guardian to appear again, the Lunder Valley matter will be over?"

Luvia asked in surprise.

"No no, if the demon is not eliminated, I'm afraid they won't appear so easily. And... the earth is distorting, will this make the Guardians also... distort?"

He still remembered that long-haired Luvia was facing the situation where Miss Lathers had to die, dominating the Guardian's soul.

"This is hard to say, but if they are really also polluted by the distortion of the earth, are we going to deal with the Chosen One again this time?"

Luvia was very worried about this, but for now, this was just Xia De's guess.

"Any news about the cultists and demons from last night?"

Xia De asked again.

"No news for now."

Luvia shook her head slightly:

"However, before you woke up this morning, Princess Margaret came once and sat by your bed for a long time. She said she would come again at noon today and have lunch with us. Oh, Margaret also said that the investigation into Osenfort's business you requested has been done almost, and if you have the energy at noon, you can listen to her talk about it."

"That's great!"

Xia De smiled. Lady Hela requested to completely defeat Osenfort, this is not something that can be done by just stabbing him with a sword:

"Regarding the demon's conspiracy, I have actually guessed it. Last night when I saw the truth about the Guardian, I guessed what it actually wanted to do. Just like I said last time, it definitely didn't want to eliminate the first candidate Guardian and then let the second candidate Stone Osenfort take the position."

He recalled the brief conversation between long-haired Luvia and Miss Lathers when he first went to the Night Temple:

"The Guardian is composed of different souls, and is still looking for new like-minded souls to join them."

Xia De said, looking at Luvia. The purple-eyed girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and she also understood. In fact, after a sudden headache last night, she vaguely understood:

"When the four of us went to the Night Temple together, you once asked Miss Lathers, no matter what anyone said, don't give up your life. It turns out that at that time, you already had a guess? How did you figure it out at that time?"

Xia De certainly couldn't say that she said it herself, so he could only say the guess completely:

"The increase of new souls must be able to make the Guardian obtain new power. And new souls merging into him, and becoming him, does it mean that new souls can also influence the 'Guardian', this miraculous complex individual, to a certain extent?"

Xia De suddenly clutched his chest and coughed hard. Luvia immediately picked up the teacup and handed it to him:

"Talk less, why don't you sleep for a while? Whatever it is, talk about it in the afternoon."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm recovering."

Xia

De took a sip of water and put the cup back on the head of the bed:

"The demon's real idea is not to let Stone Osenfort replace the 'Guardian', but to let Stone Osenfort become the 'Guardian'. Before this, the demon might be as unclear about the truth of the Guardians as we are, but it definitely knows more than we do."

"Your guess is highly likely to be correct. Osenfort himself has the qualification to hold the Chosen One ritual. If his soul merges into and pollutes the Guardian, he himself is actually equivalent to becoming the first candidate."

The purple-eyed girl's expression was very serious:

"I didn't expect that the rules of the Chosen One could still be used like this."

But in fact, except for Iluna's time, every time the rules of the Chosen One were being used in various ways.

During the Chosen One of Darkness, the Pus of Man attempted to become Ivan Darkness through soul reversal; during the Chosen One of Death, everyone used special death rules to discuss the candidates for the Chosen One around the campfire in real death; during the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom, Xia De even used the 【Aikenola Knowledge Arrow】 to bind the qualification of the Chosen One.

"I guess at some point in the future, there must be a situation where the Guardians need new members to join. And at this time, if Miss Lathers doesn't die and let her own soul merge into them, it is possible to be preempted by Osenfort. This is not the second candidate and the third candidate preempting the qualification of the Chosen One, but who among the second candidate and the third candidate can become a part of the first candidate."

Xia De said, and in this way, the decision of long-haired Luvia at that time was explained.

"You mean, the demon will create this opportunity?"

Luvia doubted.

"No, it is also possible that it is what I just said, the Guardians are instead polluted by the earth, so they need new souls to join to maintain their own sobriety."

Xia De said his view hesitantly.
