Chapter 1393

"How do you know without trying?" Xia De stood in the stable and said:

"After I handle the devil's business, I will go to the Heart of the Earth to find you." "Before that, I'm afraid there will be some other things."

The Guardian stared at Xia De:

"Even if there are hundreds of souls going to resist the distortion power of the earth together, even if the Heart of the Earth is protecting me, but when you see this mud incarnation, I have probably already fallen into madness."

"Hmm..."

"I tried my best to lock myself underground, but there is also a certain possibility that I will rush out of the ground and become... some kind of very terrifying evil thing."

Xia De was not surprised at all: "Is there a way to reverse it?"

"If the power of the Heart of the Earth can return to normal, I can also return to normal." The Guardian said expressionlessly.

"This is impossible; the purpose of holding the ritual is to let the Heart of the Earth return to normal."

"Then there is another way to make me temporarily sober—a new soul becomes part of the Guardian." Xia De frowned and looked at him:

"You have left so many clues, is there no suitable candidate now?"

"The devil's hostility towards me over the past hundred years has caused certain problems with the inheritance of the Guardian. Since Lathers joined decades ago, no more suitable candidate has appeared. But now there are two..."

"Stone Osenfort, and Xiris Lathers, right?" Xia De said the answer he knew in advance, and the Guardian nodded slightly:

"Besides that, a very special girl came from the Northern Kingdom recently; she can also do it. You have seen her, seventeen years old, brown long hair, it seems the surname is Beias. But her fate is more complicated; like you, neither is suitable to become a Guardian. Therefore, either Osenfort or Lathers becoming part of us can temporarily make us sober."

After a pause, he added:

"And letting Stone Osenfort become part of us should be the devil's final plan. So, it was planning this."

"I won't let Miss Lathers die for this reason." Xia De looked at him:

"Absolutely not."

The Guardian opened his palm, and a small piece of golden stone, only the size of Xia De's fingernail, flew in front of Xia De:

"This is a part of the 'Heart of the Earth' that shattered during the earthquake three hundred years ago; because it left the main body, it can still remain normal. It's a pity that it's not big enough, otherwise just relying on this would be enough to make me return to normal... Let Xiris Lathers touch it, and she can master the power of the earth."

Because it was not the main body of the Heart of the Earth, there was no divinity that Xia De wanted attached to it. "I said, I won't do this."

If Xia De really did this, then the difference between this and 【Past · Sixth Era】 would only be that the one who told the truth to Miss Lathers changed from the long-haired Luweiya to him.

"For the sake of one person, you want to abandon the whole world?"

The Guardian asked; he was currently keeping the appearance of Mr. Lathers:

"Although I have known you for less than three months, I haven't found that you are such a person." "Does Mr. Lathers agree with this decision too?"

Xia De asked back, and the Guardian nodded:

"All our opinions are made jointly. I said it out loud, which means this is the idea of the joint consciousness."

"You have to understand, for the sake of the earth, for the sake of this world, any sacrifice is necessary. We are good examples; all this is worth it. The earth is with you and me; this is everyone's destination."

"Although what you said makes sense, don't you feel that you are not normal now?"

Xia De asked, and before the Guardian answered, he walked two steps towards him, letting himself be completely exposed to the light of the kerosene lamp: "I said, I won't do this."

"Do you have special feelings for Xiris Lathers?"

"I mean, I have other ways to make you temporarily sober

and hold the ritual." As long as he incarnates as a god, it is possible to temporarily make the Guardian sober.

And the Guardian obviously didn't know this point; he looked at Xia De silently, and that little golden stone was still floating in front of Xia De.

Xia De asked for the last time:

"You have lived for such a long time, I don't believe you have no other methods?" The Guardian didn't answer:

"I believe you will make the right judgment. You take this stone; when you enter the Butterfly Cemetery, because of the aggregation characteristic of the Heart of the Earth, it will guide the way for you."

So Xia De pinched that stone and heard "her" gentle voice: 【Outlander, you have touched a "miracle."】

【Strange Art—Ancient Sound triggered, you obtained information from the First Era:】

【God-made object—Heart of the Earth, created by the 【Earth Mother God】 in the initial era, as one of the cores to stabilize the world. Even after the initial era shattered and the power of the Heart of the Earth was severely lost, it still has an extraordinary effect on the world. Any behavior of contacting the 【Heart of the Earth】 must be extremely careful, because this represents contact with the essence of the world.】

"When I first met you in the Emerald Dream, I promised to help you purify the earth. I will keep my promise, in my own way."

Xia De said very seriously:

"I emphasize again, this is my promise."

The Guardian didn't say anything more, but after bowing slightly, his body turned into mud and merged into the earth under his feet. 【It seems that you must obtain the divinity of the Heart of the Earth.】

"She" said softly, and Xia De nodded, holding the golden stone in one hand and the empty cup in the other, walking out of the stable:

"The descent of the evil god must be guarded against; besides that, there must be a drop of divinity to ensure dealing with other emergencies and ensure that I don't lose my combat power."

He paused his steps and looked at the night sky shrouded in dark clouds and thick fog: "This story has turned to the last page."

I don't know if there is any magical power in the manor stable that can attract all kinds of people. Or, because this is the building furthest and most remote from the manor mansion, people with secrets like to come here.

In short, when Xia De was holding his wine glass and planning to return to the banquet scene to wait for Margaret and Prince William to announce the final reconciliation result, hurried footsteps came from the other side of the shrubbery again.

"What is it this time?"

Because he judged that the person coming was just an ordinary person, Xia De thought this should have nothing to do with him. He thought for a moment and decided not to participate in other things; besides, he really had no mood to participate in other stories now.

Two butterflies flew out of his sleeve, dancing gracefully, and the red light trails they wove turned into illusions, hiding Xia De's figure under the moon.

Xia De continued to walk along the path in the shrubbery, planning to brush past the person coming. Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps forward, when the person coming revealed his figure, it was actually an acquaintance, Mr. Enriques.

He was wearing a black formal suit with a bow tie on his chest, but he looked very anxious. After arriving at the stable door, he didn't walk in, but looked left and right, obviously waiting for others.

【Didn't you say you were going back?】

"She" asked Xia De, who was standing in place and not continuing to walk back, with a chuckle. Xia De answered naturally:

"This is not participating in new things; I'm just curious about what Mr. Enriques is doing, and how the relationship between him and Mrs. Enriques is now... After seeing the beginning of the story, you can't, not let me see the end of the story? Oh, that would be too cruel."

"She's" laughter was still like the silver moon in the night sky, making people feel at ease.

Xia De didn't wait too long before the second and third footsteps also sounded from the other side of the shrubbery. Not long after, a blonde noblewoman who looked to be in her forties, wearing a pearl necklace and a ruby ring, with slightly thick lips, walked over with her maid.

She didn't say a word, but stuffed a letter to Mr. Enriques, and Mr. Enriques

immediately thanked her: "Thank you for your help, Aunt Louise."

"The matter between you and Maggie should also have a result. Just married, and such a thing happened, what does this look like?" The noblewoman was obviously Mr. Enriques' elder, so she spoke a bit sternly, but she still cared about Mr. Enriques:

"The things you asked me to have someone check in Willondale are all in this letter. I haven't read this letter myself, so I don't know what the result is. After you read it, remember to burn it, and then make your own decision."

After saying this, her tone softened a bit:

"Magila, you are also an adult man; some things need to be decided by yourself. But no matter what, I will support you, just hope that you can consider it carefully."

Mr. Enriques nodded heavily, so the noblewoman took the maid and returned along the original path, while Mr. Enriques entered the stable, obviously wanting to read the letter by the light in the stable.

"Although peeping at other people's letters is very immoral, I am really quite curious."

Xia De said in his heart, turned into a red butterfly, and flew into the stable from the ajar door one step ahead of Mr. Enriques. Then, standing beside the only kerosene lamp, he looked at the sturdy black horse as if curious.

And Mr. Enriques, who entered the stable, first frowned because of the smell, and was startled when he saw that someone was already here. But fortunately, he quickly recognized that the "kind Mr. Watson" appeared here, so he let out a long breath:

"Oh, Mr. Watson, you really scared me. So it was you here; I was wondering why there was light in the stable... What are you doing here?"

"Looking at horses. I am leaving Randall Valley in a few days; this time I am going to Tobesk City in Deraerion to participate in the spring city-wide equestrian competition, so I want to see if the horses in Randall Valley are worth taking to Tobesk together."

Xia De blurted out casually, and then turned to look at Mr. Enriques with a smile.
