Chapter 1427: The God of Night

Although she was reluctant, Fiona still reached out and hugged Xia De gently one last time: "Then let's go, let's finish the last part of the City of Eternal Night."

"Okay. After meeting the god, I will find a way to let you leave safely, just like I promised at the beginning." Xia De held her hand.

He found that the witches of the Fifth Era might have certain personality problems to some extent, but these girls and ladies all showed extraordinary determination and courage. This was also the reason why Xia De had always had a good impression of the witches and witch emperors of the Fifth Era.

【Are you sure that's not because of their outstanding looks and figures?】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear, but that voice was soon covered by the sound of Xia De pushing the door.

The two doors of the "Place of Twilight" were not locked, so Xia De and Fiona didn't need to try every possible way to play "escape room" to find the key.

The last mortal to visit this god didn't know which era they came from, and the doors that hadn't been pushed for a long time were heavier than they looked.

After Xia De bent down, his body leaned forward slightly, and then he pressed his entire weight on the front of his body, pressing both hands on the left and right doors respectively. After activating the spell "Red Dragon Power," he pushed the two doors open with a sound that set one's teeth on edge, leaving a gap wide enough for Xia De and Fiona to pass through.

"Night!"

There was no light behind the door, only a night deeper and more terrifying than the lightless streets of the City of Eternal Night. The thick night seeped through the door gap toward the "Place of Twilight," but there was some vague light in the depths of the night. It was just that these distant lights were like the starlight and moonlight in the sky in horror stories, unable to protect fragile mortals.

Fiona looked at the scene before her, the tip of her tail tapping her lower back:

"We didn't buy long-burning candles when we left the art gallery. Why don't I go buy the candles now?" "The time for candles is too short."

Xia De shook his head, and Fiona felt somewhat guilty:

"Actually, the two teachers gave me a way to pass through the night safely, but that precious relic was lost by me, otherwise I wouldn't have been controlled by that cafe... I always mess things up. In the Dead Silence Valley, it was also because my tail exceeded the teacher's protection range, and I had to sleep in an ice coffin, and you had to save me."

"Now is not the time to say these things. After going back, you can apologize to Miss Felianna and Miss Orlanod in person... I originally didn't want to do this."

He finally took out Little Mia, restored the cat, and the cat looked around suspiciously, then meowed at Fiona.

Strange to say, this cat usually had strong hostility toward strangers. Like Iluna, Dorothy, Leisia, and Luvia, it took a long time of getting along to finally gain a part of Mia's trust. But the little Mia had quite a good impression of the red dragon girl she had only seen a few times.

Xia De couldn't be sure if this was because the cat and Fiona both had tails, or because when he came to the City of Eternal Night for the second time, Fiona "generously" let the cat observe the flame at the tip of her tail.

"Taking the cat to meet the god, will this affect its health?"

Fiona had the same worry as Xia De, but there was no other way for the two to continue moving forward safely at this time. Although Xia De felt guilty and extremely worried, past experience showed that the light of the divine radiance on his body could protect those hiding behind him.

So, Mia was stuffed into Xia De's coat by Xia De, leaving only one button unbuttoned so the little cat head could be exposed. This way, when they really had to meet the god, Xia De could press the cat into his clothes with a reach.

"Let's go."

Xia De held Fiona's hand, and the two of them left the terrace known as the "Place of Twilight" through the door gap and entered the hall in the night.

Pleasant radiance, like the sun, was revealed almost immediately from the cat on Xia De's chest.

And then, the brilliant light of the silver moon also appeared on the surface of Xia De's body. It was just that...

... this light was completely different from the light like fireflies in the past. The light appearing at this moment could actually be compared to the "Mia Light" filtered by the fabric on his chest.

"Oh, Xia De, you are as bright as your cat!"

Fiona was also surprised by this, and Xia De soon realized that this was the impact on himself after the miracle 【Moon Shadow】 spiritual rune was obtained more than an hour ago.

Although this impact only brought Xia De to the level of a cat for now, in the future, this important spiritual rune would definitely be able to play more roles.

Silver and gold light intertwined, also illuminating the red dragon girl who was the only one not emitting light. The light representing the power of the sun and the light representing the power of the moon touched together. Besides making the curled cat shape on Xia De's chest more obvious, the two seemed to be mutually enhancing each other, so that as Xia De and Fiona continued to move forward, the range that could be illuminated by the light became larger and larger.

The light spread to a distance of five meters around the two before it was completely suppressed by the thick night in the Hall of Night. And such a large range allowed them to see the interior of this palace, which was not empty at all, besides seeing themselves.

Just walking twenty steps forward, they saw more than a dozen figures that seemed to be frozen by time, standing in this hall in various postures.

Xia De even approached the old woman holding a cane, and then confirmed that she was not frozen in time, but fixed in this hall like a specimen by the night.

"This is probably the punishment given by the god to those rash visitors." Fiona said nervously.

The area of this palace was very large. After walking a full hundred steps, when the miracle elements were enriched to the point of almost suffocating the two, they understood that they had reached their destination.

It was so quiet all around that Xia De could almost hear Fiona's heartbeat. And the golden-silver light extending five meters forward was finally blocked by an invisible barrier after Xia De took another step, turning the circular light area into a circle with a piece cut off.

Although Fiona had never said she was very nervous, Xia De could fully feel her panic and unease when she really had to face the god. This was not only because of the sweat on her palms, but also because her breathing became more and more rapid, just like a dying person making a final struggle.

【Outsider, you have touched a miracle. You have gained insight into "Night."】 After a slight pause--

【He has descended.】 "She" whispered.

A huge, deep existence that didn't need any senses to perceive appeared abruptly at the high place in front, which the light couldn't illuminate, after "She"'s voice fell and Xia De's breathing cycle was completed.

In an instant, his breathing almost stopped. Fiona behind Xia De shuddered, hiding completely behind him, not even daring to show her tail. And the light around the two compressed inward at a speed visible to the naked eye at this moment, until it could only be maintained at a distance of half a meter around them, and the light didn't disappear anymore.

Now Xia De could not only hear Fiona's heartbeat, he could also feel his own violently beating heart. Even though he had met gods several times, he still dared not say he was used to doing such things. When the God of Night descended, the tension and panic came to Xia De's heart once again.

Xia De looked down at his chest, where the cat curled up as if dozing, seemingly unaffected by any influence.

At the same time he looked down, with his chest radiating warm solar radiance as the center, cracks appeared on his clothes and then spread rapidly toward his whole body.

Spreading to his neck, the skin cracked inch by inch until the cracks penetrated his eyes; spreading to his arms, the divine radiance formed penetrating light on the back of his hands and fingertips; spreading to the hem of his clothes, the brilliant golden radiance drifted backward like sparks, falling onto the red dragon girl, making her feel a warm temperature.

Although the light around him was compressed, in the state of divine radiance, Xia De was almost able to see through this thick night.

He looked up at the front. What the sun and moonlight hadn't illuminated just now was a pitch-black high platform. At this time, on the side of the high platform facing the two, a black curtain was set up, making it impossible for Xia De to see the god located behind the curtain.

"Xia De, you speak."

Fiona grabbed Xia De's hand tightly, sticking her face to his back, her voice as small as a mosquito's. Xia De took a deep breath and said respectfully:

"God of Night, we have rashly entered your territory to visit your hall."

The god behind the black curtain didn't speak, but Xia De could feel the silent god watching him. He was too familiar with the huge pressure that almost made him lie on the ground:

"We have come here this time to present you with a gift and seek your grace."

Although that stone slab from the First Era was likely not the target of this transaction, Xia De still wanted to try, at least to know why that stone slab was still in St. Byron's in the Sixth Era:

"Mortal Lady Mana Felianna is prepared to present to you the stone slab recording the story of the first night and day. That is the story of the sage wearing a laurel wreath and holding evening primrose, and the supreme being who bound the scorching sun."

He paused, but the god behind the pitch-black night curtain still didn't speak.

Xia De was somewhat puzzled. Unfortunately, he couldn't ask the god why he didn't speak. So he judged based on his experience of contacting different gods many times, and the god was obviously not very satisfied with this gift.

Time was still very abundant, and Xia De was not very anxious, so after organizing his wording, Xia De spoke again:

"Mortals envy your magnificent territory and ask you to allow them to build a school here and spread your name. But mortals also know that to receive, one must pay. I don't know, great one, what else you need us to pay?" ===== CHAPTER 1428 =====
