Chapter 1395

The embrace under the moon lasted for a long time, and it was only when they finally walked far away that Xia De and Miss Lathers revealed their figures.

Miss Lathers looked at their backs, while Xia De bent down to pick up the two pages of paper on the ground, carefully folded them and put them into his pocket; these two pages still had a great effect on him:

"If judged by the standards of a play or opera, the tension and impact of the last act are obviously not enough."

Xia De evaluated.

"But real life is not acting. Plainness is the main theme of life. I quite like the ending of this story, but I didn't expect that Maggie actually did that kind of thing in Willondale."

Miss Lathers said, looking at their receding backs.

"Let's go back; Margaret will probably come out soon."

Xia De said, and Miss Lathers nodded, but suddenly asked again:

"Speaking of which, I have been a bit curious since just now; why did you run to the stable? You said it yourself, you arrived at the stable first, and then Mr. Enriques appeared suddenly."

Xia De could use Stone Osenfort to stall this topic, but he didn't do so.

He stopped his steps and looked at Miss Lathers' exquisite face under the gas lamp:

"I met the Guardian again just now. But it was not the Guardian's main body, but a mud incarnation. He told me that the Heart of the Earth had a big problem; after the banquet ends in a while, we return to the manor, and I will explain it to you clearly, and... the Guardian asked me to give this to you."

He took out that golden stone:

"By touching this stone, you can obtain the power of the earth."

When trying to help Xia De extract the Time Key in the Night Temple, Miss Lathers accidentally obtained the memory left by the witch of the previous era, Ms. Brecht, a friend Xia De met in the Worm Cave, and thus obtained information related to the strange art—Earth Power · Soil Memory.

As long as she touches power related to the earth, she can learn this strange art. Although Xia De didn't want Miss Lathers to become part of the Guardian after death, because the Chosen One ceremony requires inviting five holders of earth power, Xia De had to give this stone to her.

But Miss Lathers didn't take the stone, but asked:

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Beautiful eyes looked at Xia De in the cold night.

"Why do you say that?"

"Recently, you often look at me with very strange eyes, as if you are worried that I will suddenly die. And, last time in the Night Temple, you also said very strange things to me, telling me not to give up my life easily. Although I can't guess what you know, it is clear that you are hiding very important things from me."

The blonde girl looked at Xia De who didn't know what to say:

"Luweiya must also know what you are hiding from me; although Vanessa doesn't know all the details, she probably guessed it too. You told me that I am the Third Candidate for the Chosen One; the things you are hiding from me must also be related to the Chosen One, right?"

Xia De still didn't speak.

"This matter is related to Father? He specifically sent this stone to let me thoroughly master the power of the earth and have the possibility of becoming a Chosen One; this is certainly not because he is still concerned about me, but because this is beneficial to the earth... I understand."

The young girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes and looked at Xia De again, there was an emotion in her eyes that Xia De couldn't understand, making people pity:

"The Guardian wants me to die, and then become part of him?"

Although she didn't associate it with the devil's conspiracy, she had already thought of the reason why the Guardian sent the stone:

"And you and Luweiya refuse to tell me, actually because my death is the behavior that can benefit everyone."

"Your death can indeed change some things, but I have other means to achieve the same result."

Xia De directly put away the golden stone:

"So, if you really die according to the wishes of the Guardians, that will lead to the worst ending. Miss Lathers..."

"Call me Xiris."

She said very firmly.

"Okay, Xiris."

Xia De pointed to the direction of the manor mansion:

"There are many paths in front of me, and I don't want to choose the one where you die. The Guardians are already crazy; even if they are not crazy, they were not normal to begin with. You have met your father; you know, they regard the earth as the most important thing; they don't have the normal emotions of living people. So, they are wrong; the path they chose for you, you shouldn't recognize."

Xiris just looked at him like this:

"Even if the earth might be destroyed because of this, you are not willing to let me sacrifice?"

She herself should have a spirit of sacrifice, otherwise in the fragments of 【Past · Sixth Era】 that Xia De saw, she wouldn't have had that last conversation with the long-haired Luweiya.

"I said, I have other ways. The earth won't be completely distorted so easily without your sacrifice. Xiris, I know my words might be a bit heavy, but you are not that important to this world."

The young girl didn't get angry, but smiled instead:

"Can you promise me one thing?"

"What thing?"

"I have reached the last step of Father's path before his death. Tomorrow, Friday, accompany me to the Church of the Forgotten again. Although this matter seems to have no other meaning now except for making me sad about the past, I still want to experience Father's thoughts at the last moment of his life, and want to see the scenery Father saw last."

Those eyes looked at Xia De, and Xia De instinctively felt that refusing this invitation would probably produce very bad results in the upcoming final chapter of the story.

【The divergence point of fate. The choice you are about to make will have a major impact on the future.】

The whispering sound rang gently in Xia De's ear, which made Xia De make a decision immediately:

"No problem, anytime during the day tomorrow. However, the stone the Guardian entrusted me to pass to you, I won't give it to you for the time being... in order to prevent... I want to refuse the things that happen."

The young blonde girl looked at him with pursed lips, and it took a long time before she said softly:

"I probably know why the Great Witches of the Witch Council... thank you."

Winter hasn't completely passed yet, and standing in the open courtyard at night to chat is definitely not a good choice. Xia De and Xiris didn't stay by the fountain, but returned together to the mansion where the banquet was being held.

"What did you go to do?"

Just after entering the lively banquet hall, Miss Sylvia and Miss Bernice walked over together. Both gorgeous Great Witches were holding wine glasses, except that Miss Sylvia was holding champagne, while Miss Bernice was holding red wine.

"Went outside to talk, about tomorrow night and Saturday dawn."

Xia De said vaguely, and Xiris smiled, ignoring this topic:

"Princess Margaret hasn't come out yet?"

"Coming soon. I just came from the study, the final negotiations went quite smoothly."

Miss Sylvia said, and walked towards the sofa by the wall with the other three:

"Margaret increased the compensation amount, but divided the compensation period into 3 installments; the first payment is paid now, and the remaining two payments are paid every six months. Prince William, for the sake of this credit, also took out a sum of money. In this way, the representatives of the Stonemason Association generally agreed."

"What is the form of the apology in the end, and the matter of the King asking to repair the royal mausoleum."

Xia De asked, and Miss Bernice said with a smile:

"My future apprentice really has skills. We actually fell into a thinking trap; is repairing the royal mausoleum really a bitter job?"

"If there is a suitable wage, even if repairing the royal mausoleum loses some money, it is very helpful in improving reputation."

Miss Lathers said, and then prompted:

"The result the royal family wants to achieve is just that it looks like the Stonemason Association is working for free in the eyes of the outside world. What it is actually like doesn't matter."

【The update of the new chapter is slow; there is finally a solution on the app that can change the source. Download huanyuanapp. huanyuanApp here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.】

Xia De understood a little:

"Although King 'Lion' Ryan said to let the Stonemason Association repair it for free, this is for the sake of the royal family's face. In fact, Margaret can completely pay the Stonemason Association from other aspects... Outsourcing? I mean, she sets up a shell company herself, the royal family delegates the task to this empty company, and then this company goes to hire the Randall Valley Stonemason Association. As long as this relationship is not exposed, this is completely that the Stonemason Association didn't take the royal family's money, but still repaired the mausoleum."

Miss Sylvia looked at Xia De in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to think of it too; with your life experience, you haven't experienced similar things, right?"

"I read more books."

The outlander said very modestly, so Miss Bernice asked:

"Then, Knight who reads more books, guess, how exactly is the apology matter going to be fooled?"

"This..."

"Oh, don't move!"

The blonde witch said suddenly, and then reached out and hugged Xia De's left arm with both arms:

"Someone is taking pictures over there, just like last time, help me disguise."

Her whole body leaned over, her head tilted slightly, leaning on Xia De's shoulder:

"This time the Randall Valley matter, the Council provided too much help. This will definitely make the Five Gods Church suspect that there is a Great Witch of the Witch Council stationed locally, otherwise many things cannot be explained. So, help me get rid of the suspicion; no one would think that the women of the 'Handkerchief Enthusiast Association' rumored outside also have men with whom they are close."

"Did they often do this before we came?"

Miss Sylvia, holding champagne, raised an eyebrow and asked Xiris sitting beside her; the young blonde girl looked at the two and shook her head with a smile:

"Vanessa being bold is only a matter of the last few weeks."

And then she was threatened by her best friend with beautiful big eyes that were golden mixed with a little bit of emerald green.
