Chapter 1498: Xia De's Rest Plan

~10 min read 1,999 words

The two spent the rest of the night embracing. In the morning, in order to let Luweiya sleep a little longer, Xia De even woke up earlier than Mia. He covered the cat's mouth to prevent it from making a sound, then carefully held the cat, which didn't know what was happening, and left the bedroom to prepare breakfast.

And by the time Luweiya woke up and walked out of the room, it was already 7:30 on this Monday morning.

The morning sun shone into the room from the windows of the living room and kitchen. The steam rising from the hot breakfast eggs rose in the sunlight and particles, actually looking like a quite classical oil painting.

When the lazy female fortune teller walked into the dining room, Mia at the dining table was eating with her head down, while Iruna was holding a newspaper and reading yesterday's news. Xia De had sent the letter to Miss Danister through the poetry manuscript page and was just walking out of the study at this time.

"Good morning, Luweiya. I was just thinking about waking you up for breakfast; I made breakfast this morning. Although the taste might not be very good, but..."

Xia De looked at the dining table:

"You see, at least Mia is eating very happily."

"Good morning, Luweiya."

Iruna also put down the newspaper and greeted Luweiya. The fortune teller nodded; looking at the scene before her, all the anxiety and unease about life disappeared.

Iruna had come to St. Deran Square at seven in the morning. Since Xia De's illness was finally cured, it was necessary for them to summarize the Battle of Randel Valley and then discuss the next plan.

After eating breakfast, the three went to the study and sat down. The two girls listened to Xia De talk about all his experiences on the night of the Battle of Randel Valley, and then they also talked about the things they had encountered.

"The event of the Earth Chosen One ended in a relatively perfect way. But as for how to handle the relationship with this Chosen One, Luweiya still needs to spend more effort. The Guardian is different from Sister Devlin; the way of thinking of hundreds of absolutely rational souls added together is probably difficult for normal people like us to understand."

Xia De said.

"I understand, I will handle these things. The Guardian himself is also unwilling to leave the Heart of the Earth for a long time, so this Chosen One will not participate in the stories of the next eight Chosen Ones as often as Iruna and Sister Devlin."

Luweiya said what she had considered:

"The Earth still needs him to maintain it, and I even want to suggest that before the final door appears, if it is not necessary, try not to let him fight."

Iruna was actually quite happy in her heart; after all, even though there was one more Chosen One, it still did not affect the unique relationship between the three:

"The Five Gods Church's attitude towards the Earth Chosen One is actually very good, which has to do with his complete unwillingness to interfere in any worldly matters. Before I returned from Randel Valley, I attended a meeting. The influence of the Earth Chosen One's existence on this world is far less strong than mine and Sister Devlin's."

"This counts as good news; a Chosen One who has too many ideas of his own is not what I hope to see."

Luweiya said some sentences that were a bit wrong. Iruna didn't care about this; instead, she hoped that all the Chosen Ones would be like this later. And because Xia De knew about the past life · Sixth Era, he was clearer that what Luweiya wanted to do was to take everything into her own hands to deal with the final endgame.

Therefore, even though she said such things, Xia De and Iruna didn't say anything.

"Because of the experience in Randel Valley, now both Xia De and I are?"

Luweiya asked Iruna again. The seventeen-year-old girl sitting opposite the dining table nodded excitedly, her life ring emerging from behind her, the seven-ring brass life ring reflecting the morning light, appearing more miraculous than ever before.

"It's really unimaginable, I am only two steps away from the High Ring."

Iruna looked back at her life ring, then pointed to one of the miracle spirit runes:

"Miracle - Earth Power. My miracle - Earth Power · Earth Energy Cannon, corresponds to this spirit rune. When communicating with the Guardian, he thought I also had the qualifications to master the complete miracle - Earth Power, and also invited me to learn from him when I have time... Although Luweiya didn't say it, I think I should also be a candidate for the Earth Chosen One."

She said quite embarrassedly, and Luweiya smiled and nodded:

"Iruna, just like what I said when you first met me on the street and asked me to fortune-tell—for this world, you are extremely special. The protagonist of the epic is the thirteen Chosen Ones, and among them, your position is unique. Didn't Xia De also say that in his eyes, no one can replace you."

Iruna tried her best to hold back from showing any strange expressions, while Xia De felt that Luweiya seemed to be using some kind of rhetoric on Iruna. But such encouraging sentences were not very strange, so he didn't point this out, but asked:

"About the next Chosen One..."

"We should rest for a period of time."

"Xia De, please spend this spring peacefully!"

The two girls at the table said almost at the same time, and there was an unquestionable meaning in their tone.

"Xia De, I really think you should rest for a period of time."

Iruna said very seriously, even putting down the half-peeled egg in her hand:

"Haven't you noticed? Every time at the end of a Chosen One event, you will leave the scene in a state of coma, serious injury, or exhaustion, and this time it is even..."

She looked at Xia De with pursed lips, and Luweiya, who was sitting beside Xia De, also said:

"Didn't we agree in Randel Valley? Let's just rest for a while this spring. The epic of the thirteen pages of the Chosen One has already turned over the first five pages, please rest for a while. Even if there is any new news, please let me and Iruna handle it."

They were really worried about Xia De, especially Xia De's "serious illness" that lasted for nearly two weeks was even more frightening.

"Then... okay. After the Spring Tobesk Equestrian Competition, I can also visit Miss Mia Gao De."

"Meow~"

The cat eating with its head down looked left and right; it heard its name again.

"Tobesk Equestrian Competition?"

Iruna's eyes lit up:

"I know about this; it is a competition held following the knight traditions of the old era, and the Five Gods Church, according to tradition, will also send people to participate."

"Then will you participate?"

Luweiya asked with great interest, and Iruna shook her head regretfully:

"Although the current era is enlightened and ladies are allowed to participate in some sub-events of the competition, my identity is not suitable for too many people to know."

"What sub-events?"

Xia De asked curiously, while Luweiya looked at him in surprise:

"Wait, you don't even know the rules?"

"Aren't the rules... horse racing?"

Xia De hesitated for a moment, then realized that he really hadn't understood the rules, and Lei Qianya seemed to have assumed that Xia De knew everything.

"Oh, knight, oh knight, you can't be like this."

Luweiya shook her head:

"The equestrian competition is not just horse racing; besides horse riding, there are archery, cold weapon duels, and so on and so forth, and then the winner is selected by comprehensive scores, and the King and Queen will commend them. All the events will last for half a week, sometimes even longer. At that time, all the idlers in the country will gather here, and the liveliness is absolutely no less than last year's 'Dacheng Player'. I think the 'Edward III Arena' outside the city should have already started repairs, and the market stalls and open-air tavern shops outside the arena have also been built.

Xia De, did you think that this kind of activity is just for you to run a few laps on the racetrack, and then take the trophy to accept the private evening invitations from dissolute noble ladies to practice riding?"

The Outlander, who knew nothing, blinked awkwardly:

"Hmm... I thought it was running a few laps on the small road in the suburbs, and then after taking photos with His Majesty the King with the trophy, I could go home."

At this, even Iruna couldn't help but laugh:

"Xia De, although I am not a local either, at least I know that during the Tobesk Ring Equestrian Competition, there will be a lively market around the arena outside the city. That is also a good place for the people of Tobesk to go for an outing; this is a grand festival of spring, and it is an important celebration only available around the capital. I hope I can be a bit freer during the days of the competition; if there is nothing to do, I will also go to see you."

Luweiya and Iruna couldn't explain the specific rules of the Ring Equestrian Competition very clearly; this required Xia De to check it himself. But fortunately, this was not the focus of the discussion this morning.

Xia De showed them the harvest he brought back from Randel Valley, including the items left behind after the Stone Mirror Demon died. Iruna was very interested in the Philosopher's Stone, while Luweiya planned to come to Xia De's place frequently in the next few weeks to read the chapters on fate curses in the "Book of Malphas Demon."

Subsequently, Xia De took out the black cubic stone block given to him by the Guardian from the study drawer, and then took Luweiya and Iruna to the basement together.

The space left by the Earth Old God 【Earth Mother God】 is called the "Earth Core Furnace," and the most basic position requirement for the door leading to this hidden space is that it must be below the ground. And in Xia De's home, only the basement met the requirements.

To be honest, he didn't know if his home really met the installation needs of this "door," but trying it out was ultimately not wrong. The "door" could be installed on the wall or placed directly on the ground to form a trapdoor. And considering that there were already doors to the 【Space Maze】 and 【Dark Dungeon】 on the walls of the basement, Xia De planned to place this door on the ground.

He had already found the location; the side of the stairs leading to the basement and the corner of the wall just formed a suitable space. The area here was not large and could not store too much debris, so it had always been empty.

After going down the stairs and turning on the gas lamp in the basement, the two girls watched Xia De throw the black cubic stone block over like throwing dice.

Clang~

The black stone block really made a sound of dice bouncing when it landed, but it sounded like it came from somewhere upstairs. But before the three could think about it, they saw the stone block "melt" on the ground like mud.

The black sludge seeped towards the basement floor, and then the pitch-black area continued to expand until it outlined a square frame. Then, in the bubbling black mud, a trapdoor that looked like stone material appeared little by little until it was perfectly embedded in the ground, as if it had originally existed here. ===== CHAPTER 1499 =====
