Chapter 1365

"What the situation of the Heart of the Earth is now, I don't know either. It's just that from the Guardian's statement last night, the problem has reached a very serious point." Xia De said.

"The local church is also preparing a large-scale magic ritual, hoping to appease the earth with the ritual of the Sun Church, but it's hard to say what the effect will be."

Luvia said, letting go of Xia De's hand, and picked up the orange in the fruit plate on the bedside cabinet again:

"Don't run around these few days. Iluna is estimated to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let her be busy then."

"Actually, there is not much left to do." Xia De shook his head:

"At noon I will talk to Margaret about Osenfort's business, and then go back to Tobesk to pick up a weapon commissioned to be made. If the timing is ripe, solve that demon this week. If there are other situations, it will be delayed until next week at most."

"The weather forecast of the Association shows that next week, the first Lunder flower will bloom."

Luvia said, and handed the orange slices to Xia De's mouth.

In fact, this Saturday is the first day of March, so although this winter seemed very long and cold, spring still arrived as scheduled as in previous years.

"The temperature has indeed been rising these few days. Last Sunday when I went to find that old captain outside the city, I felt that the snow outside the city began to melt."

Xia De said:

"The things Osenfort asked me to find are still missing that sapphire earring. The four gems to open the Butterfly Cemetery are also missing the last one. Speaking of which, there are only these two things left for now, the story of Lunder Valley is finally coming to an end."

He stretched on the bed, and then because he let the quilt slide off his body, he was "reprimanded" by Luvia. The purple-eyed girl tucked the corner of the quilt for Xia De:

"In a few days, I can also get one or two special coins from the Association. So, do you need to use your two coins to divine the two items you are looking for separately?"

"Let's keep them for now, wait until Iluna comes. Hmm, use this one first, divine whether the Chosen One ritual of the earth needs a location. If it is needed, it is best to be able to divine where it is this time."

Xia De was wearing pajamas at this time, and his items were all placed on the small cabinet on the other side. So he reached out and took the 【Wish Coin】, and after Luvia took it, she threw it lightly:

"We have used this."

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, throwing the coin high.

The metal coin rotating and rising in the air showed rust on its surface at the same time it reached the highest point, and corroded rapidly during the falling process. Until before landing, it completely turned into dust and disappeared.

Luvia opened her eyes, and purple light marks flashed in her eyes:

"There is a result. If you want to perform the Chosen One ritual while purifying the earth, then you need to perform the ritual at a location directly connected to the Heart of the Earth. Otherwise, even if the 【Feast of the Earth Mother】 is performed perfectly, the effect will be worse."

"At the Night Temple?"

Xia De thought of that location immediately, after all, the cemetery below was the entrance.

"That is just one of the choices."

Luvia shook her head immediately:

"That location is indeed possible, but what I mean is, holding the ritual on the mad earth, and the most serious mad earth, is also possible. You also tried to jump into the source of those black muds, the Heart of the Earth is at the source of the black mud, these are all conclusions you reached yourself."

Xia De nodded to show understanding:

"However, it is hard to imagine sitting in the black mud to hold a grand feast."

"This is also a matter of no choice. If you don't get close to those distortions and madness, you can't solve the problem. Oh, actually there is another requirement for holding this ritual, but it doesn't count as a requirement: there must be a long table."

Seeing Xia De looking at her curiously, Luvia said with a smile:

"This is imitating the feast of the gods, does it count as a feast without a table?"

"That's right, so do you need a special long table, or is anything okay?"

"A stone one is

okay, there is no requirement for this point. Also, the divination just now was too simple, so the effect of the special coin played a bit, I divined that holding the ritual, I'm afraid it is really as you said, you need to invite others."

She looked at Xia De:

"And there is a great possibility that it is a demand to invite other guests who possess 'Earth Power' to take their seats."

"Except for the Guardian, you, Miss Bernice, Miss Lathers, I know the Five Gods Church also has several sorcerers who possess Earth Power. Adding them up, it should be no problem to gather seven or eight people."

Xia De counted, and then thought of the barefoot ascetic he met in the small woods last night.

"Currently the coins are indeed not enough, I will not divine the characteristics and quantity of the specific invitees for the time being. In the afternoon I will go back to the Association to ask for news. This time, we don't know anything about the poem fragments mastered by the three major academies."

Luvia said, and stuffed the orange into Xia De's mouth again:

"Okay, okay, you should have a good rest, why are you talking to me about these things again."

"I feel very good now."

Xia De insisted:

"When I woke up just now, I did feel that my whole body was wrong, and even the speed of my heart was a bit fast, but now I am completely fine."

Luvia wiped her hands dirty from peeling the orange with a handkerchief, turned to look at the closed door, and then said with a smile:

"I'll confirm it."

Then she reached her hand into the quilt, and soon took it out, and wiped it with the handkerchief again:

"Indeed very healthy."

"Hmm..."

"Since you still want to talk to me, let's talk about the witches. 12th-tier Aurora, 12th-tier Galina, 11th-tier Bernice, and Sylvia who is 10th-tier but will soon be promoted to 11th-tier. Although Galina hasn't arrived yet, it can be expected that four of the thirteen Great Witches will come. Although the 10th-tier Granny Cassandra you mentioned won't come, her apprentice will likely come. In this way, more than one-third of the witches in the 【Witch Council】 have been coaxed by you."

She said with a smile.

"This way of saying is very strange."

Xia De muttered, while the purple-eyed girl continued to imagine:

"Our current action power and intelligence are enough, but the number of high-end combat power is not enough. Now that we have five Great Witches and Sister Daifulin, it can be considered to fill this vacancy. I really hope you get to know other Great Witches quickly, striving to turn the Witch Council into our own force as soon as possible, so that actions will be much more convenient."

"You shouldn't be satirizing me, right?"

"Satirizing you about what?"

Luvia shook her head

"From the beginning of the Xia Night God Descent in Tobesk, the event affecting a city turned into an event affecting a small area, and then to an event affecting a certain area of the Old Continent, until now it is possible to directly affect the whole world. Xia De, although our actions are fast, they are not fast enough. So, we need the help of other forces. Sometimes, I really hope it is still the Witch Era, in that case, maybe by the end of this year, the whole world will wholeheartedly help us without asking for return."

"Haha~"

Xia De gave a dry laugh, still feeling that she was satirizing himself.

Just like this, Luvia stayed with Xia De in the room for the whole morning. During this period, except for the maid coming to deliver hot tea and change snacks and fruits, the witches did not come to disturb them.

When it was 11:30 at noon, Miss Lathers knocked on the door and walked in, letting the two go to the restaurant for lunch together. They let the maid go out first, and then insisted on helping Xia De change his clothes.

Luvia probably thought Xia De was still very weak, actually wanting to find a wheelchair to push him to the restaurant, but was sternly refused by Xia De.

And at the lunch table, the three witches sat down with Xia De, Miss Lathers, Luvia, and Margaret who had just arrived. The owner of the manor, Miss Bernice, sat in the main seat, Xia De was on her left hand side, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was in the furthest position. This manor probably hasn't been so lively for a long time, which made Miss Be

rnice very happy.

Even happier was Margaret. Although she was arranged in the furthest position, having lunch with the three Great Witches still made her quite excited. Of course, she didn't forget to care about Xia De's health condition.

Lunch was quite rich, but the ladies all felt that Xia De "recovering from a serious illness" should not eat so much, so they strictly controlled his food intake. And the dessert after the meal made Xia De very worried about those ladies whose average waist circumference was less than 1.7 feet. He himself also tasted a blue crystal rose petal-style dessert. That dessert was really made of rose petals, the taste was slightly sweet, and Xia De was very sorry that Mia couldn't taste it at this time.

After lunch, he didn't leave immediately, but had a secret talk with Margaret. Her Royal Highness the Princess told Xia De the good news:

"Most of Stone Osenfort's business is currently in the country of Karsenrik, those in Delarion are just a very small part, no need to care at all. I told my father that this guy has been very close to brother William recently, and then found out his business transaction records through the Grey Gloves."

A smile appeared on Her Royal Highness the Princess's face:

"The dangerous goods and contraband he smuggled for brother William involved many big figures in the royal capital of Willandale, which made my father furious. I won't describe to you what he smuggled. Except for not finding out about human trafficking for the time being, contraband drugs and the like are just ordinary business to him.

Just the charge of smuggling is enough for Osenfort to squat in prison until he is eighty. However, my father will not talk to brother William about this matter for the time being, but when we finish the Lunder Valley matter and return to Willandale..."

Stone Osenfort's involvement in smuggling is not news, and even the local people in Lunder Valley know some. Nothing happened in the past because he had taken care of the big figures in Willandale.

But unfortunately, he just didn't take care of Margaret.
