Chapter 1462: Plans and Interrogation

On the second floor of the manor mansion further away, Siris, one of the manor owners, and the black-haired maid had already arrived at the second-floor terrace, looking from afar at the two people playing on the swing in the snow.

Siris pouted slightly, but did not have any negative emotions because of this. Tifa still had her usual smile on her face:

"Speaking of which, Miss Lathers, when you first moved into the manor, why did you place a swing here?"

"It was Vanessa's suggestion. She said the courtyard scenery was too monotonous, and it would look better with a swing... Well, actually, every summer, on the days when the flowers in the flower garden bloomed best, she always liked to go there and sit for a while in the afternoon."

The blonde girl said, and the maid nodded. The smile on the corner of her mouth made the lip lines on her lipstick-painted lips more obvious:

"I don't know what Miss Benanis would think if she saw this scene."

She said softly. Siris thought for a while, showed a strange expression, and then pretended not to care and said:

"Look, they look really well-matched."

Tifa turned to look at her. The teasing meaning in those black eyes made Siris feel that she had been seen through at once.

"If you really think so, you are admitting defeat directly."

The maid reminded, so the blonde girl's face turned red immediately, and she didn't dare to continue speaking, preventing herself from being seen through more. And Tifa maintained the elegance of a maid, smiling and watching the scene in the manor courtyard, looking forward to what new stories would happen after returning to Tobesk.

Xia De and Luvia did not stay in the snow for too long. This early spring snow was getting heavier and heavier, and they returned to the house in time.

And at lunch on this day, except for Luna who was busy at the church, all the witches and witch apprentices, including Margaret, appeared.

Fortunately, the manor originally had a long dining table for banquets, so it could seat so many people. Miss Benanis originally intended to let Xia De sit in the main seat, but Xia De firmly refused. Finally, he sat on the right hand of Miss Benanis.

There was no discussion of very sensitive matters at the table, but the ladies were talking about their recent plans after the Randall Valley incident ended.

Miss Galina, Tifa, and Rita Swift, who did not belong to this city, would return to Tobesk and Midhillburg respectively through Miss Sylvia's portal early next week. In fact, if it weren't for Xia De being in a coma for a day and a night, they should have returned immediately.

Miss Sylvia herself came to the local area as a traveler, so she planned to return to the capital of the Southern Kingdom, Willendell, with Margaret. Their return time was later next week, because the shipyard unveiling ribbon-cutting ceremony originally scheduled for this weekend was postponed to next week due to the great disaster in Randall Valley.

Margaret originally planned to invite Xia De to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony banquet held locally next week. But looking at Xia De's current state, she could only put aside such thoughts for the time being. After all, there was still a lot of time in the future. After she officially performed the ceremony to become a witch apprentice next week, there would be many opportunities to contact Xia De.

As for Miss Aurora and her niece Hayley, they came to Randall Valley under the excuse of family business. Because they were important guests at the shipyard ribbon-cutting opening ceremony next week, they would stay in the local area for about another week, which was also the originally scheduled plan.

As for Luvia, she came to the local area because of the "Language of Sublimation", and it had been nearly three months since then. Now that the Randall Valley incident was over, she was finally going home.

"I miss the bed in your bedroom."

This was what the purple-eyed girl whispered to Xia De before the meal. "Speaking of which, Luvia, how are you going to return to Tobesk? By steam train?"

At the lunch table, Xia De also asked curiously, while thinking of Doctor Schneider who was temporarily staying at the Abundant Earth Hotel. The doctor finally came to Randall Valley and thought about staying here for a few days to see the scenery.

And although the doctor came through the "Magician's Escape Box", because the relic's characteristics could not be used continuously, he could only go back by train, so maybe...

... Luvia could go back with the doctor, and they could take care of each other on the way.

"Forgot to tell you, Miss Dannister sent a letter yesterday noon."

Luvia said as if she had just remembered, and a worried expression appeared on her face again, and the other ladies at the table also looked at Xia De:

"She said that when they return to the academy, they can give me a ride on the way and send me directly to Tobesk. The letter also said... she will be very busy these days, but she will definitely find time tonight. At that time, she plans to meet you. I was worried that you wouldn't wake up tonight."

"Xia De asked me to take him to find that thirteen-ring female sorcerer before dawn on Saturday. After all, this requires an explanation."

Miss Sylvia, who was deeply involved in this matter, said, and Miss Aurora also looked at Xia De with some worry:

"Thirteen rings and twelve rings have an essential difference, and that difference is not just a complete third Language of Sublimation. Even I couldn't beat your teacher... Why don't we go together? In the case of a sneak attack, I think at least subduing her shouldn't be a problem."

"Cough, cough..."

Margaret, sitting at the far end of the table, coughed a few times accidentally.

"No, no, Miss Dannister and I have no enmity. Just some things that haven't been explained clearly. I can explain them clearly."

Xia De was not worried about this. Seeing him say so, Luvia teased from the side: "You have always had a way with female sorcerers."

Laughter rang around the table. Tifa behind Xia De bent down to change his plate, which made it convenient for Xia De to lower his head to cover his embarrassed expression:

"In short, the matter of the Chosen One of the Earth has finally officially ended." He raised his wine glass:

"Originally, I planned to hold a banquet to celebrate after this matter ended, but now it seems that in order to investigate the appearance of the three gods, the investigation teams of the church and the academy will soon search here, so there is no time to hold a banquet. It is better to raise a glass to celebrate now. I think there will definitely be time to gather together again in the future."

Smiles appeared on the faces of the ladies at the table, and everyone raised their wine glasses, even Tifa took a glass from the dining cart.

Seeing them all looking at him, Xia De took the initiative to say:

"The story of pursuing the Chosen One will continue. After the fifth, there will be the sixth. Although we have no intention of changing the world, we are the maintainers of the world. A toast to the earth, a toast to the gods, and a toast to ourselves."

Outside the window was the early spring courtyard with falling snow, and in the warm room, the long table was covered with delicious food. The beautiful ladies raised their glasses together with Xia De, and even Mia stood on Xia De's shoulder with her eyes wide open.

The wine glasses filled with blood-colored red wine shone brightly under the crystal chandelier. Sometimes, especially in such happy moments, the Outlander would doubt whether everything he experienced was real. But whenever he saw them, whenever he heard "her" laughter, he would understand—compared to him being the smile that fate showed them, they were the best gifts that fate gave to the lonely Outlander.

The witch apprentices did not experience the feast before dawn on Saturday, which was now intended to be compiled into religious classics and spread as mythology, so they didn't know what Xia De had done, and the content could not be discussed at the dining table.

So after lunch, the four great witches went to talk to Xia De about some things.

The young girls were driven to other places, and even Luvia did not participate in the subsequent conversation. Of course, it was not that the witches did not allow it, but Luvia had to rush to the Diviner Association. The association had been very busy these few days.

Before leaving, she gave Xia De an encouraging look, and then watched Xia De holding Mia, who was full and sleepy, being pulled into the room by Miss Aurora, Miss Galina, Miss Benanis, and Miss Sylvia.

Considering Xia De's physical condition, the conversation location was still the room where Xia De rested, but he did not lie on the bed. Tifa brought tea and snacks with other maids in the manor and left here. After the door closed, the five people sat in a circle on the sofa, and the other witches cast their gazes at Miss Aurora. This lady with beautiful wavy...

... brown long hair actually didn't know how to speak:

"So..."

She tried to weigh her sentences, as if she were facing a mental patient who might go crazy at any time. Xia De naturally knew what they wanted to ask, so he didn't let Miss Aurora continue:

"Well, I admit I lied before." He blinked and looked at the great witches around:

"Now I can tell you: Xia De Suren Hamilton, that is, the man holding the cat in front of you, is indeed the person generally defined by the church and the ring sorcerers in this world as the 'God-Caller'. Of course, one thing I want to clarify is that I am not thirteen rings, nor am I the strange character with strange characteristics in the divination of the church and the Diviner Association."

"Meow~"

Mia, who was lying on Xia De's lap and being stroked on the back, narrowed her eyes and meowed, which meant that the cat was enjoying this moment very much.

After the voice fell, no one else spoke. The witches looked at each other's expressions and urged others to speak. Finally, Miss Galina, who had the closest relationship with Xia De, spoke. Her right thumb and index finger unconsciously played with the red hanging hair beside her ear:

"You are the God-Caller. Actually, last year, when we were in Midhillburg, we guessed it. After the Battle of Pantanal, there was basically no doubt."

The great duchess of the North said very hesitantly:

"In fact, what we want to know is not this. It is not important that you can exert power close to a demigod. What is important is, did you... really call the gods?" ===== CHAPTER 1463 =====
