Chapter 1561

Xia De lowered his head to continue dealing with the steak on his plate, and then asked:

"So speaking of which, you are determined that Miss Pharmacist is Audrey Edwards?"

"Yes, it is highly likely that it is that mental patient. There is a fateful connection between great witches, and I quite recognize my sixth sense in this matter."

She did not forget to warn Xia De:

"Don't look at her as normal sometimes; no one knows what she will do when she goes crazy. Although the Speaker said two years ago that she had completely recovered, she always does not act with us; I don't even remember when the last time I saw her in reality was. Don't forget, her arrest warrant was only lifted some time ago. Audrey Edwards is completely different from the well-educated, beautiful, and virtuous witches you have already contacted."

"But the Witch Detection Badge didn't react."

"When did you trust alchemical items so much?"

Miss Galina asked back, gently scooped up the cream mushroom soup with a white porcelain spoon, and then handed the spoon to Xia De across the table. Xia De then stood up slightly to taste the soup in the spoon, and then frowned:

"This taste is really strange."

"When you asked me to taste that, you didn't care whether I accepted that kind of taste."

The red-haired witch said lightly, Xia De's face flushed and he didn't know what to say, the witch smiled ambiguously:

"Before you asked me to find five treasures for me that day, I didn't expect that a cautious, humble, low-key, and calm knight would know so many tricks. Should I thank Anate, Louisa, and little Lei Qianya?"

"Oh, let's not talk about this topic. Continue talking about Green Lake... that is to say, the Witch Detection Badge is useless? That's right, there are so many witches in the Fifth Era, there will always be ways to avoid mutual detection passed down. Moreover, I have never been able to get within one meter of her, so the badge and my perception could not play a better role."

Xia De was thoughtful, and then suddenly asked:

"Are you sure Miss Audrey Edwards didn't mention that she had any brothers or sisters?"

"No. Not only did she not mention it, I can even be sure that she really doesn't have any. Xia De, you have to know that twin brothers and sisters have a special connection in a mystical sense, so if everyone has such relatives, they need to inform each other."

The witch said quite certainly. "Then it is quite interesting."

Xia De raised his hand to touch Mia, who was squatting on the stool beside him, and had already thought of quite a few possibilities in his heart, but these all needed to be verified. If Miss Pharmacist was really a witch, then the possibility of her being a Chosen could not be ruled out.

The red-haired Duchess looked at his action of touching the cat, looked at his serious face divided into light and dark sides by light and shadow, and felt some admiration for her level of picking a lover:

"Speaking of which, are you the Chosen of Space?" She asked again:

"Iluna also informed me of the church's interrogation results; that fragment of the poem from the Mirror Association also covered you as a suspect. Coupled with your 【Space-Time】 spiritual rune, and Sylvia's praise for your spatial talent. Have you ever doubted yourself? In fact, the council also preserves some fragments of the poem about the 【Space】 Chosen; although the information on it is not as directional as that part of the Mirror Association, at least it failed to rule out your suspicion."

"If I didn't understand my own situation, I would probably also suspect myself first. But I am not a Chosen; I cannot be any Chosen."

"Related to Luweiya Anate?"

The witch raised her eyebrows, Xia De did not answer, so she did not pursue the question: "Tifa."

The Duchess waved her hand to the side, so Tifa brought a heart-shaped glass bottle and dripped the liquid inside into Xia De's glass.

"What do you mean?" Xia De was puzzled.

"Make our nightlife more interesting."

The Duchess, who was looking at her lover while supporting her cheek, said with a smile. Xia De frowned slightly while touching Mia:

"Lady, are you looking down on me?"

"No no, of course not, I..."

"... have already learned my lesson. This is just a potion to enhance the mood."

As she spoke, Tifa also dripped the liquid into her glass. This potion was probably similar to the essence in Xia De's small pink bottle, but the effect was extremely weakened.

The two picked up their glasses and clinked them above the candlelight dinner table. Because of their movements, the candlelight flickered, flashing with ambiguous light and shadow. The beautiful witch smiled, looking at the young man touching the cat across the table, probably looking forward to the heat of tonight.

(Little Mia is running...)

On Thursday morning, because the maids helped prepare breakfast, little Mia did not wake Xia De up, which allowed Xia De to get up a little later.

Speaking of which, Xia De originally thought that real princesses like Lei Qianya and Galina, sleeping on such a bed in his house, would be like the "Princess and the Pea" in the fairy tales of his hometown, not resting well because of discomfort. Therefore, when he opened his eyes this morning and thought of this matter, he also asked the witch he was holding about her opinion of this bed.

The muddled lady misunderstood the meaning and said in a low voice:

"I have already asked my maids to clean out the hair of different colors as much as possible every time they clean. Otherwise, do you want me to change a bed every time I come?"

Her height was taller than Luweiya, Dorothy, and Lei Qianya, making the feeling of Xia De holding her very different from other girls. The Duchess, who rarely got up early unless there were special circumstances, was not very willing for Xia De to leave the bed at seven o'clock, so she pulled Xia De's arm, letting him sleep a little longer.

That kind of lazy, coquettish voice could never appear on any other occasion. Even an outsider who claimed to have a firm mind and strong will could not avoid being influenced by the witch. So much so that when he sat at the dining table on this sunny morning, he was still marveling at the power of the witch in his heart.

"The weather is really good today; there is no fog in the city."

"Tobesk is not foggy every day."

Xia De actually hadn't decided whether to go to the Green Lake area today; he caused trouble in Green Lake yesterday, so it would be good to avoid the limelight today. And although today was the day the Karsenrik negotiation delegation officially arrived in the Green Lake area, the first day's agenda of the negotiations would only start tomorrow.

Except for still lacking some fish bones, he didn't think of any urgent things he had to do over there for the time being, so after eating breakfast and sending Miss Galina away, he dawdled and didn't go out immediately, considering whether he should write the report on the Edwards family first.

Around nine o'clock, strange light flickered in the study; it was Miss Dannister notifying Xia De through the poem manuscript page that they could meet. She seemed to think that Xia De might not necessarily carry this relic, so she also said that if Xia De saw the message a few hours later, they would meet tonight. "Fortunately, I didn't go out."

More than ten minutes later, in the St. Byrons Grand Library located in the extreme north, Xia De's projection arrived again.

Spring had arrived, and the librarian's attire had also changed. Miss Dannister sat on a soft sofa across the coffee table:

"Good morning, Xia De; I am very glad you still remember that I once told you to report to me about your studies every once in a while. Why, is there any good news to tell me recently? For example, have you been promoted to the Seventh Ring?"

She joked with a smile, putting down the "Moon Ring: Lunar Eclipse" written in an ancient language in her hand. The two young students helping to set up the ritual also left here, and Xia De's gaze swept over the girl with horns on her head and a thin black tail.

"A half-demon descendant, not an evil spirit demon of the Third Era, but a real demon. This is a rare student, but it's not that you can't see them in St. Byrons."

Miss Dannister explained, and Xia De nodded:

"I am only at the Sixth Ring for now... It has only been a month since I was promoted to the Sixth Ring; it won't be that fast. I came this time because of the Edwards matter; I have investigated a lot of useful information."

Actually, it was for the method of using the unicorn's power, but this kind of request for help could be...

... put to the end to mention; this was also a conversation technique Xia De had summarized.

"Oh? I didn't expect it to be so fast; did you get the news from the nobles of Delarion, or from Karsenrik?" The Thirteen-Ring sorceress was a bit surprised, sitting up straight on the sofa, ready to listen to Xia De's narrative.

"Neither; I went to Green Lake and boarded that island filled with thick fog."

When he was in Randall Valley, Miss Dannister knew that Xia De could perform long-distance spatial movement, so Xia De did not hide his source of information.

"It's very surprising to me; please continue."

"I found out that there were four Edwards who left Green Lake 128 years ago, and they were..."

He first told the news about the four people in Hohenheim that he got from Mr. Edmund, then mentioned the Folen brothers he accidentally met during the Ring City Riding Competition, and finally talked about the family tree on the island that resembled the root system of a big tree.

"There were six people in the sixth generation of Edwards, five in the fifth generation, and four in the fourth generation who escaped from the island. As for the third generation, besides Pride Edwards, the father of the four brothers, there was also a man and a woman, namely Envy Edwards and Gluttony Edwards, but the former died young, and the latter did not marry, so there were no descendants. The second generation was a sister and brother; the eldest sister Lust also died young, and the younger brother Sloth propagated the third generation.

The first generation, the origin of that root system chart, was a person named Klein Edwards."

When Xia De mentioned that chart, he did not say that this was a clue given by Miss Pharmacist, but said that he just accidentally discovered that chart.
