Chapter 1680: Farewell and Aftertaste

"He is using the skeleton? Then what should I do?"

Priest Augustus thought for a while:

"The gift I gave you that has been fused into your badge can suppress the power of the 'Angel of Death' skeleton other than me at close range. However, this might not be enough... how about this, you investigate carefully. If you can determine the location of the skeleton, I can take a trip to the Green Lake area."

Seeing Xia De wanted to object, the priest reminded again:

"I have already completed the ritual of promotion to the Third Ring, don't underestimate me. And my vacation at the church this year hasn't been used yet, so it's very simple to ask for a week or two of leave. Green Lake City is not very close to us, but isn't there a steam train? This era is really good."

Xia De was more worried about the priest and the doctor bumping into each other:

"Hmm... that's fine, then you prepare, I will continue to investigate, maybe I can bring the skeleton back by myself... oh, if I accidentally get sent into true death again..."

"It's not very likely, but if you really are unlucky, even if your nun friend can't find you, I can still pull you back."

Since Sister Devlin was mentioned, Xia De thought of another thing:

"Priest, do you have time tomorrow morning? I have an appointment with Sister Devlin tomorrow morning at the Three Cats Tavern to see the soul of Last Edwards. That little girl's soul might hide the secret of the Edwards, which is also one of the few ways to come into contact with the Edwards' secret outside the island."

The priest nodded:

"No problem, then we will see you tomorrow morning."

Xia De had already asked Miss Galina to do the thing of informing Sister Devlin about the meeting tomorrow morning last night at the banquet. Therefore, after leaving the Dawn Church, he hurried home to change clothes; there was an extremely important thing to do in a while.

"There are really a lot of things to do today."

The negotiations on the Pantanal border and trade routes had fermented to the present, and it had become the most important diplomatic event in the eyes of the people after peace between the north and south countries. Xia De had thought about how lively the train station would be before setting off, but he was still very surprised that the carriage was blocked two streets away from the train station located in the North District of Tobesk and couldn't move.

The coachman saw that it was really impossible to move forward, so he could only let Xia De walk the rest of the way, but even so, it was not easy to move forward in the crowded and shouting crowd.

Xia De even felt that half of the people in the city were gathered in this block today. Since coming to this world, apart from the Year-End Festival, he had never seen so many people on the street.

Originally, he wanted to find a place where no one was to turn into a cat and approach the train station on the roof, but finding a place where no one was nearby was even more difficult than continuing to move forward. People shouted loudly things like "Long live Delarian," "Sacred territory is inviolable," "The great Cavendish family will lead us to defeat the Southerners," and crowded forward, while the police and officers specially transferred to maintain order could only barely ensure that problems like stampedes did not occur.

Although Xia De came a bit late, his luck was not bad. On the central road specially reserved for royal carriages, a carriage guarded by royal guards soon drove over. The three little princesses, who were younger than Angelina, recognized Xia De in the crowd, so they had the accompanying attendant officer pick Xia De up.

"Really thank you, Princess Alice, Princess Elena, Princess Anastasia."

The three little princesses giggled and let Xia De sit in the carriage, talking to him about Angelina who was about to set off with Miss Galina, and also talking about Xia De and Lixia seeming to be very familiar, they were quite interested in Xia De.

In short, although it took some twists and turns, Xia De still entered the Tobesk train station, which had been under martial law, around five o'clock.

First, he met Lixia and Dorothy with several princesses, and after a little small talk, he was called away by the maid ladies led by Tifa.

The red-haired Duchess had already taken her seat in her carriage at this time. The luxurious layout made this place more like a well-decorated manor living room than a carriage, just a bit smaller in area.

In a while, she still needed to give a speech to the public with His Majesty the King, and at this time she was accepting an interview from a very beautiful young female reporter.

Seeing Xia De coming, the Witch raised her hand to indicate that the interview could stop first. The reporter lady picked up her paper and pen and got up to leave. When she brushed past Xia De, she also cast an interested look at him.

"Train travel will be very boring."

Except for Tifa, all the maids retreated out of the carriage. The Witch gave Xia De a hug, then hugged him and sat on the sofa:

"If it weren't for letting me go to Green Lake with a public identity, actually letting Sylvia open a portal would be more convenient."

She complained dissatisfiedly, her tone sounding a bit like she was acting like a spoiled child.

"About how many days will it take to arrive?"

Xia De asked, and Tifa answered this question:

"Because it is a special train transporting the delegation, for safety reasons, the train is running at reduced speed, plus it will temporarily stop at two big cities, letting the lady give speeches locally. If there are no accidents, it should be Wednesday night or Thursday morning next week when we arrive in Green Lake City."

"That is around the lunar eclipse at the end of the month?"

"Yes, yes, about four days of boring train travel, it's really tough."

The Witch's head leaned against Xia De's neck and took a deep breath:

"If it weren't for thinking that after arriving in Green Lake City, I could properly tease Audrey, I might have even less spirit."

"Hmm..."

"I know you don't want to make her too embarrassed, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

She said with a smile, but the more she said this, the more worried Xia De became.

"Don't think about Audrey anymore. I can probably rest for half an hour. Half an hour later, I have to go out to give a speech. Before that, Xia De, to see me off, shouldn't you do something?"

She winked at Xia De, her golden eyes were quite beautiful:

"Perhaps you have already noticed, in the past week, you didn't come to find me."

Saying this, she waved her hand, and Tifa also retreated out of this carriage. Xia De heard the sound of the door being locked—he was also the first time knowing that this kind of carriage door could be locked from the outside, and then he had to face the enthusiastic Witch:

"Only half an hour, just take it as tasting dessert. When I arrive in Green Lake City, you can't not come to find me."

Xia De had been busy all morning and afternoon this day, and he hadn't been idle this evening either. After spending half an hour saying goodbye to the beautiful Witch, while the Duchess went to give a speech to reporters and "citizen representatives" with His Majesty the King, Xia De originally thought he could rest for a while, but when he was sitting on the slightly messy sofa, lowering his head to fasten the buttons of his shirt, and looked up, he saw the black-haired head maid who had walked into the carriage silently again.

Her eyes with a smile blinked, and this time she locked the door from the inside of the carriage:

"Knight, do you want to say goodbye?"

That gentle farewell was impressive, but this was just a private farewell. Before the train started, Xia De also took his female companion Dorothy to formally say goodbye to Miss Galina and Angelina.

Wang Hou Diana was beside Xia De, she hugged Angelina very worriedly and exhorted Miss Galina to take good care of her. Angelina's brothers and sisters didn't have any special performance for this scene, obviously, the Wang Hou's slight favoritism toward Angelina was not shown for the first time.

"In this way, today's things are finally over."

This was Xia De's thought after the train started slowly, as people waved goodbye to the train, after being busy all day.

But then, Dorothy whispered in Xia De's ear:

"We met last night at 7:10 after the banquet started, and there is still more than an hour before the Day of the Red Butterfly ends. Knight, Lixia said, see you at home in a while, she has already prepared dinner and sent it home."

In short, this was probably the busiest Saturday the Outsider had experienced since coming to this world, but it was also quite fulfilling.

And since it was Saturday night, it was also the usual class time for Dorothy and Lixia. Therefore, five minutes before the Day of the Red Butterfly officially ended, Xia De, who was cuddling with Lixia and Dorothy, mentioned the study plan for tonight.

This made the two girls quite surprised:

"You actually still think about studying at such a time, Xia De, we really underestimated you."

"What underestimate?"

"Don't care, there are still five minutes. Time is really fast, if it weren't for going to see Galina and Angelina off, there could have been more time."

After seven o'clock, after kissing Lixia goodbye at the door, Xia De, who returned to the second floor, continued his study with Dorothy.

Because at the end of the Seven-Day Journey, he got a hint about "Two-in-One" from the God of Travel, Xia De was very attentive to the study of "Clock Tower Lovers." In addition to class, he also guessed with Dorothy what kind of result would be obtained if two different individuals merged.

"I can understand the superposition of power, but what will the appearance become?"

Xia De asked the question, and immediately thought of the "Twin Lovers" card.

"Don't think so terribly, aren't that pair of Red Butterfly sisters Grace and Helen the best examples?"

The writer reminded, and then said with a smile:

"I am quite curious, if Lixia and I become one person, would you feel very fresh when you spend the night with us."

"You..."

"I know, just joking. The lesson we learned last time was enough, I don't want to be... punished by you again."

She kissed Xia De lightly:

"Never again."
