"I am old, but not to the point where I can't move. Besides, the Chosen One has already reached the..."

Grandma Cassandra said with a kind smile, not giving Xia De and Miss Swift a chance to object:

"Rita, don't worry, I will definitely let you go with me when the time comes. Your performance in the Randall River Valley last time was very good, this time I will show you the power of the Dark Great Witch again, and your witch path will become smoother and smoother."

Although Xia De didn't plan to stay in Midhillburg for long, he still didn't prepare to leave until almost two-thirty in the afternoon. At this time, Sister Daifulin had returned to the sacrificial ground one step ahead, and the Red Butterfly twins mysteriously asked Xia De to wait a while before leaving.

They soon returned with a blood-red potion, which had a heavy whisper element. If it weren't for the fact that the unique fluctuation of spirit was consistent with the Red Butterflies, Xia De would have thought this was a relic in the form of a potion.

"Sir, we discovered last time when we gave you the potion to treat your 'fever' that our potion had a very good effect on you, so we prepared a new unique potion. Drinking it can enhance your transformation ability and make your 【Red Butterfly Avatar】 more convenient."

Helen in the black dress said with a smile, while Grace in the white dress added with some expectation:

"It might even allow you to obtain the 【Red Butterfly】 spirit rune."

The two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls looked at him with great expectation.

"This potion is not easy to make, right? Did you use your blood and sweat again?"

Xia De took the reagent bottle, the girls smiled and didn't answer, but urged Xia De to try it.

For Grace and Helen, Xia De still trusted them quite a bit, so even though the whisper element in the blood-red potion was excessively strong, Xia De still drank it.

"Oh!"

The taste was quite good, very similar to the sweet and sour taste of the potion the Red Butterfly girls gave Xia De to treat his illness, but this time the bloody smell was heavier, and there was also a hard-to-describe taste similar to the soil after rain.

Xia De experienced the taste, placed the bottle on the table, and nodded in the expectant eyes of Grace and Helen:

"I can feel the elements affecting my body, yes, it worked."

The originally normal body temperature rose sharply, and even Xia De's skin began to turn red. He groaned and almost leaned against the back of the sofa, because of the restlessness of the spirit at this moment, and was about to faint; at the same time, "She" said gently in his ear.

【Outlander, you have come into contact with a "whisper."】

【This is the power of transformation, your flesh is recalling the transformation state that was once remembered. Please maintain a stationary posture and wait patiently.】

It felt as if every inch of muscle and every bone was in severe pain, and the feeling that the body was about to melt like mud appeared again. This didn't look like the transformation of "Avatar Red Butterfly," but rather like...

Under the surprised gaze of Grace and Helen, Xia De's whole person emitted a faint light, and then disappeared without a trace. The girls looked carefully, and on the position where Xia De was originally sitting, there was clearly a silver-white cat lying there.

"Oh! Xia De!"

They stood up immediately, and Helen in the black dress took the first step to pick up Xia De; it could be seen that she also had plenty of experience in holding cats.

And "She" also said softly at the right time:

【Outlander, you have obtained the curse "Transformation - Cat."】

There was clearly a smile in that voice.

"I'm fine."

Xia De the cat said to the girls, looking down at his paws:

"Your potion worked, it really enhanced the transformation ability, but the direction of the enhancement was wrong."

Compared to the potion, at least using the curse to transform included clothes, and Xia De was very satisfied with this point. And human transformation itself is a very complex science, and the number of transformers and druids in the Sixth Era is far less than in the past. Although it was not transforming into an extraordinary creature like a unicorn or a dragon, turning into a cat was useful enough.

Up to this point, Xia De already possessed two transformation postures. The Red Butterfly avatar posture had a wider range of uses, but could not be used continuously, while the cat form, although just an ordinary cat, could last for a very long time.

"Although cats are also cute, why isn't it a Red Butterfly? Did our potion get something wrong?"

Helen reached out to touch the cat in her arms with some frustration, and Grace also reached out to touch Xia De's back. Xia De hurriedly jumped out of Helen's arms, and restored to human form while falling in the air. The contact of the sisters with him just now was really too intimate.

"Sir, next time, we will definitely succeed... next time, should we increase the amount of blood, or the amount of sweat?"

Xia De almost ran away from Midhillburg, and decided that unless it was a last resort, he would absolutely not turn into a cat form. Witches, Little Mia, and the Red Butterfly sisters were all "ill-intentioned" toward his cat form, but he was not a real cat like Mia.

When he returned to No. 6 St. Deran Square, the time had reached three o'clock in the afternoon of this day. Xia De did not go out again, but organized the clues obtained in the Green Lake area at home and planned the action plan for tomorrow.

After going out to have dinner with Dorothy in the evening, Miss Danister also sent a letter agreeing to meet. So at seven o'clock in the evening, Xia De's figure appeared again in the open space in the center of the St. Byrons Library:

"Good evening, Miss Danister!"

Just after appearing, Xia De immediately greeted her, but his tone was a bit weak.

"What did you just go do? Why do you look like you've just recovered from a serious illness after exhaustion? Did you go on a date with some high-ring female warlock?"

The red-haired female warlock put down the small nail file she was filing her nails with and asked her only student with a smile. This was a very private joke, and it also represented that the relationship between Xia De and Miss Danister was very good.

"Not exhaustion, it's..."

Xia De, who had specially run to the Randall River Valley, which was farthest from No. 6 St. Deran Square, to throw his shoes and consumed almost all his spirit, made a hesitant expression:

"I encountered some accidents. Yesterday on the central island of Green Lake, I encountered a very strong enemy and suffered some injuries, but I'm much better now."

"Injured?"

Miss Danister's face showed a worried look, and she asked with concern:

"How did you get so embarrassed? Do you still need treatment now? Do you need some potions, and then I will send someone to your door to treat you?"

"No need, it's almost better. That was the miracle - Dimensional Slash, ordinary ring warlocks would probably have very serious sequelae, fortunately, I am also proficient in spatial power."

He gestured with a slashing action forward.

"Miracle - Dimensional Slash? A spatial miracle that can only be learned above the tenth ring?"

Miss Danister's brows frowned deeply:

"You encountered a high-ring warlock on that island? Can you recognize the other party?"

"I asked Miss Dorothy Louisa in the same group to turn my memory into a photo."

Because it was a projection state and could not deliver items, Xia De directly picked up the photo and displayed it.

Although separated from Miss Danister by a tea table, she recognized who was in the photo at a glance:

"This is... Mirror-Hiding Man?"

"Is it really thirteen rings? I thought I saw the life ring in the fog wrong."

Xia De said, and Miss Danister saw his weak appearance, and for a moment didn't know what to say:

"I... sorry, I didn't know in advance that you would encounter such danger... Xia De, don't investigate the Green Lake matter first. After I finish the academy's affairs, I will handle it myself."

She said guiltily:

"I'm sorry for making you so embarrassed, do you still need treatment now? I'm sorry, the appearance of the Mirror-Hiding Man was not expected, but he went there..."

"No, having investigated to this extent, I will absolutely not let go."

Xia De said very firmly:

"And, yesterday boarding the island, I also had a major gain. I encountered a very strange wandering soul on the island, and thus learned that the origin of the Edwards family genealogy, the first-generation lord Klein Edwards, was once a member of the Divination Association. Yes, I am very sure of this."

Because Yiluna and the others would soon tell the church about Edwards, Xia De could not say it too specifically, to prevent being suspected of his information source:

"The secret of the Edwards family absolutely exceeded the original expectation. And that sun, moon, and star pattern similar to the card back of the Luo De card appeared in the family's letters, which seems to have found a reason for explanation."

"A diviner of the Divination Association?"

This time Miss Danister almost stood up directly, even more surprised than when she saw the photo of the "Mirror-Hiding Man." Fortunately, she remembered that she had to maintain the ceremony. The female warlock widened her eyes, never expecting to hear such news:

"How is this possible? What does the Divination Association want to do? No, it can't be the idea of the Divination Association... deserters?"

She thought of more things all of a sudden, and said to Xia De again:

"You did a good job, but you really can't participate anymore. I originally thought that a six-ring warlock would be enough to complete the investigation, but this matter involves more and more. Now it seems that the Edwards family might even be related to the Chosen One... stop the investigation, Xia De."

"Miss Danister, you can't spare the time to go to Green Lake now, and besides me, you are not willing to inform others about your teacher's affairs. If I don't investigate, are you going to let the church and the 【Mirror Association】 take away most of the clues?"

He took a deep breath:

"I will pay attention to my own safety, please rest assured. I have a premonition that I have approached a corner of the Edwards family's secret. I would like to ask you to investigate which diviner of the Divination Association in the era when Klein Edwards lived matches his characteristics, maybe we can know everything by relying on this."

He actually already knew, but still had to show that he only knew the preliminary clues.
