Chapter 1590

~10 min read 1,923 words

In the night, even without thick fog, it was difficult to see the man and the cat on the beach clearly. After Xia De finished telling the story of his "great battle" with the water ghosts in the lake, the cat suddenly said again:

"My ancestors probably also watched this lake on this beach."

"But they wouldn't watch this lake in the form of a cat like you."

Xia De joked, but the sorceress didn't seem to think it was very funny:

"You also saw it, right? The two Eight-Ring sorcerers who could cast spells together just now are not ordinary Ringed Sorcerers."

The cat's voice was very light:

"The Edwards family seems to have a wonderful bloodline connection. I can almost be sure that they are my two nephews. Mirror-Hiding Man being able to know the location of that cemetery probably also has something to do with them."

"If they are really your relatives, then they are the two grandsons or grandsons-in-law of the eldest son of the fourth generation, Hohenheim Edwards. In this way, the sixth generation is complete. The two descendants of the eldest son are members of the 【Mirror Association】, the twin descendants of the second son Edward are the noble brothers of Willendale I know, the daughter of the third son Alphonse is you and your sister, and the descendant of the little daughter Maria is the two people you know."

"Yes."

The cat said softly, and then added:

"I won't introduce you to them. They are just ordinary people, I don't want to easily involve them."

"I understand."

Xia De nodded. In this way, among the eight living Edwards descendants, except for the uncertain witch Audrey's sister, only the descendants of the little daughter were real ordinary people.

Even for a Ringed Ringed Ringed Shushi family with a long heritage like Miss Aurora, there was no such proportion of Ringed Sorcerers born. The probability that more than half of the descendants were Ringed Sorcerers was too exaggerated.

"Also..."

The cat continued, Xia De couldn't see her expression:

"My name is Megan Edwards."

"Not Audrey?"

Xia De thought suspiciously, but he could almost be sure that the pharmacist miss absolutely didn't lie at this time. And the witch power felt while holding the cat was absolutely genuine. Combined with the fact that the real Great Witches of the Sixth Era could only be thirteen people, the year-round madness of the witch Audrey, and the suppressed strength of Megan, he had almost guessed what kind of secret was hidden on the witch.

"Megan."

He read this name:

"John Watson is not my real name either, but I can't tell you what my name is for the time being. My name... is actually very famous."

"A man like you shouldn't have been unknown in the first place."

Megan expressed understanding. The brown eyes of the black and white kitten looked at the big lake covered in fog together with Xia De. At this moment, curled up in a man's arms in the form of a cat, she actually felt an unprecedented peace.

She had always been alone, waiting for the arrival of an unknown fate, but at this moment there was someone accompanying her. Megan Edwards understood that she could only rely on herself, but she still craved this moment of dependence that she couldn't get rid of because of the "cat in the bottle."

"It's really relaxing."

The voice of her sister Audrey came from her ear. The two souls curled up in the cat, with the same feeling, craved for time to slow down a bit. The mental power that was as restless as a storm was gradually calming down at this moment. This special man who was with them had a strange power, like the silver moon in the night, that made people calm.

Just as she was about to ask what was hanging on Xia De's chest inside his clothes that was hot from the beginning, before she could speak, she felt Xia De's hand move away from her back. Then, there was the sound of a hand reaching into his pocket, and a tube of liquid emitting intoxicating silver light was held in front of the cat.

She looked at the wonderful liquid. Because her body became smaller, she looked at the glass test tube that she could usually clamp four with one hand from this wonderful perspective. The liquid with a slightly cold silver radiance looked even more charming.

But it was only for a moment, she woke up from that intoxication, then stood up on all four feet abruptly, and turned her head to look at Xia De incredibly:

"Pure Moon Essence Water? So much?"

"Sure enough, you know the goods, yes."

He shook the test tube slightly, an action that made Megan fear that he would break the test tube.

"Drinking Moon Essence Water directly without any processing has the power to restore a small amount of spirit, soothe restless mental power, and smooth out soul fluctuations. Take advantage of your cat form now and drink some, so that when you turn back into a human, you don't have to worry."

The cat looked at Xia De with shock in her eyes:

"Using Moon Essence Water like this is like wasting the Philosopher's Stone as a Touchstone."

"It doesn't matter, I care more about your situation. Your current situation is very unfavorable for recovery."

Saying this, he pulled out the stopper, and with a wave of his hand, silver liquid beads like a pearl necklace flew out.

Even in the fog of the dark night, these liquid beads were clearly visible. Megan watched those liquids spinning around her, but refused to open her mouth for a long time. It was not that she didn't want to accept Xia De's kindness, but that she felt she had already accepted enough kindness.

"Then let me threaten you. You are in the form of a cat now, your physical strength is definitely not as good as mine. Little kitten, you don't want to be forced to open your mouth by me, right?"

It wasn't until Xia De said this that Megan was willing to open her mouth and let those large liquid beads enter her mouth. Unlike Xia De and Miss Danister, this Eleven-Ring sorceress had no power related to the moon, and such pure moon power entered her body. While the moonlight smoothed out the restless spirit, the powerful spirit even made the cat's eyes gradually turn silver-white.

This discovery startled Xia De. If he remembered correctly, the Little Mia he saw in the dream of long-haired Luweiya during the Year-End Festival also had eyes of this color:

"That's not right, doesn't Little Mia have the bloodline of the 'Child of the Sun'? What does it have to do with the moon?"

While thinking, not only the eyes, but the cat held by Xia De began to glow, and the cat's body temperature began to rise at an astonishing speed.

Xia De understood that the effect of the transformation potion was finally about to end.

So he stood up quickly, took out Megan's clothes that he had put away, put them on the cushion, and then put the glowing cat on the cushion.

He turned his back to the cat and walked a few steps toward the shore of the lake, then stopped at a position where the cat could still see his back.

And he himself looked down at the lake water wetting his boots, and looked up at the big lake in the night covered by the fog. He only knew that the opposite shore of the lake was Pukhov Village, where he had been once, but at this time he couldn't see any light in the village.

In the Green Lake in the thick fog, it seemed that some kind of unexpected great terror was hidden. The rhythm of the rippling lake water hitting the shore also became more terrifying in this silence.

He didn't know why he thought of "Desire," who always liked to appear in this environment. Fortunately, that unknowable-level relic did not appear directly to scare Xia De at this time.

【Desire, did it really not appear?】

"She" asked softly in Xia De's ear, and then Xia De heard the struggle and muffled groans of a woman behind him, and the sound of a clean female body lying on the beach trying to get up.

The sound of course had no color, but Xia De really thought of that clean appearance.

The clothes on the cushion were picked up. Xia De, who was looking at the misty big lake with his hands behind his back, immediately heard the sound of clothes being put on behind him, the sound of clean, tender feet stepping on the sand, and the sound of skirts and clothes shaking.

The man looked at the lake, and the woman dressed behind his back. During this period, no one spoke until Megan organized all her clothes and said softly:

"Alright, we can leave."

Xia De looked at the calm big lake, but did not turn around:

"You guys go first, I still have other things to deal with. After you handle the key of the mountain copper, write to me again. During this period, I will investigate the matter of the grave robbers."

After the transformation ended, Megan Edwards, who had recovered her body, no longer used illusion to cover her appearance. On the witch's beautiful face, the golden eyes looked at the man with his back to her, and the strange feeling in her heart became more and more serious.

"Okay."

She nodded lightly, but asked again:

"My face now is my own face. You, don't you want to turn around and take a look?"

She touched her face, looking at the figure looking at the big lake somewhat lonely:

"Just treat it as one of the thanks to you tonight."

"Don't describe it to me."

Xia De said to "She" in his heart, and then shook his head:

"Wait until one day, when you are willing to reveal all the secrets of the Edwards family to me, then I will know your true appearance. As for thanks, I just said, I don't need thanks."

The sorceress bit her lip, looking at that back for a long time without speaking. She didn't say goodbye to Xia De, Xia De could only hear her footsteps gradually moving away, then the three lights on the pier on the side were put away, the sound of the steam engine appeared in the fog, and then got further and further away, until it disappeared.

He also sighed softly, and "She" in his ear asked gently:

【You wouldn't be wanting to turn around and find Mirror-Hiding Man's trouble, right? Consuming the last divinity?】

"I'm not that impulsive, and besides, what I want to do, don't you know very well?"

He looked down at the beach, turned around with his back to the big lake, and looked at the entire island covered by fog in the night:

"This island is polluted by this fog of unknown origin."

【Yes, the power of the fog has completely changed this island in a hundred years. So...】

Soil and flower petals fell from Xia De's hands, the life ring appeared behind him, the bottom almost touched the sand, and the top was exactly level with Xia De's head.

His hands were in a cupped position, and he softly recited that name:

"Earth Power-Healing Aura!"
