Chapter 1707: Elder Love and Black Moon Ritual

After greeting, both of them stared at each other. On the moonless night, looking at the beautiful face that was no less than her own at close range, the two felt completely different at this moment.

After a moment of pause, Miss Jia Lin Na said:

"I really didn't expect that the first time I saw you in the Green Lake area would be here. It seems that your injury is completely healed? This is really good, let me see, have you become stronger?"

Audrey had no intention of discussing her strength, she couldn't explain this change. Fortunately, the one in front of her was Miss Jia Lin Na, the Great Witch of Balance, not Isabella, the Great Witch of Time and Speaker, so she didn't have to answer this question:

"Thank you very much for being able to come here to help me, Miss Jia Lin Na."

Although she didn't come to help her, the Duchess nodded:

"There is no need to be so polite, we are all members of the council, we should help each other, and we will definitely not deceive each other... Where did the man who took you away just now go?"

She looked left and right, as if looking forward to some surprise jumping out of the reeds in the dark night. Audrey was nervous, but her expression was very relaxed:

"Not a man, it's a woman. You stared at her just now, did you feel the witch's curse triggered?" "No. So that's it? She is actually a woman."

Miss Jia Lin Na blinked:

"Isn't a woman better? Where did your new friend go, why don't you introduce her to me? Could it be that the girl is shy? Oh, actually there is no need, I am not some man-eating ancient monster."

Audrey pursed her lips:

"You saw it too, she cast spells many times to fight against those powerful opponents just now, and now she is too tired and has gone back to rest."

"The more I listen, the more suspicious it is."

Red hair swayed with the action of shaking her head slightly.

"Friday, yes, the banquet on Friday, I will introduce you to each other." Audrey said again, Miss Jia Lin Na smiled and teased:

"Look at your nervous look, it's as if you just did something sorry to the council. We are all members of the council, we will not pit against each other or hold each other back. We are good sisters, just like the Speaker said, we must always maintain elegance and beauty."

She patted Audrey Edwards on the shoulder and asked pretending to be curious: "Speaking of which, is that girl very beautiful?"

Two pairs of golden eyes stared at

Megan in her heart was constantly considering with her how to deal with the twelve-tier Great Witch before them, which was why she could remain calm:

"Yes, very beautiful."

After saying this, Xia De's appearance seemed to appear before her eyes:

"Quite beautiful, and understanding. But I'm afraid she is not the type you like..." Audrey said as tactfully as possible, which could also be considered paving the way for the banquet the night after tomorrow.

The Duchess suppressed the laughter in her heart and asked again:

"How do you know that young lady is not the type I like? On Friday night, remember to remind her to dress up. If possible, I would like to invite her to dance. I have always liked young ladies with such powerful strength."

Audrey pursed her lips and nodded, thinking she had handled this matter quite well.

"Is she a God-Awakener? I saw that huge moonlight ring she threw at the end; it had at least the power of thirteen rings."

Miss Galina asked again, and then received a negative answer. The excuse Audrey used to fob her off was basically the same as the one Xia De had just used to fob off Miss Danister. Fortunately, Miss Galina, like Miss Danister, did not probe too deeply, or perhaps she hadn't intended to let Audrey Edwards admit these things right now anyway.

"However, did your train arrive so early? I thought it was only just pulling into the station now." When the two were preparing to leave together, Audrey asked again in confusion.

"I got off the train early and flew over... Remember, you owe me a favor. If it weren't for you, I could have enjoyed a very nice night tonight."

The Duchess reminded her again, and Audrey nodded slightly. She thought Miss Galina meant she could have spent the night comfortably in a clean and bright train carriage, but Miss Galina actually meant that if Audrey Edwards hadn't been there, she could have actually kept Xia De overnight.

And while the two witches were returning to the city together, Xia De, who had thrown the crystal shoe, had also returned home.

The location of his appearance this time was the empty Room 2 on the second floor, and Little Mia and Luvia, who heard the sound, were the first to see him.

Little Mia was picked up by Xia De, and seeing that Xia De was safe and sound, the purple-eyed young lady also breathed a slight sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay. It seems that a lot of things must have happened over at Green Lake."

"Yes, I saw Laplace Klein Howard again, and I fought him. This time the opponent directly called himself the Chosen of Space."

Luvia hugged Xia De gently:

"Don't talk about him. You stayed on the island for a day, right? Have you had dinner? I'll go prepare dinner. Although the lunar eclipse hasn't ended yet, my astrolabe will automatically record the short-term astrology. I'll go make you something to eat, and we'll talk slowly in a while."

"No rush. I still have to go to Green Lake once; I'll be back in about half an hour." Xia De said, tucking the pouting Little Mia into Luvia's arms:

"Miss Galina has already arrived, and Miss Danister has also appeared. I used a special method to achieve a perfect fusion/separation dual state for the souls of Megan Edwards and Audrey Edwards. I'm going to observe her condition again and learn the miracle while I'm at it. Things at Green Lake are becoming increasingly thorny... You go ahead and busy yourself with your things; no need to make dinner. After I return, I'll just use 【Fiona's Housekeeping Servant】 to make some dinner."

"Meow~"

The cat, who had originally been dissatisfied with being shoved to Luvia by Xia De, had eyes that lit up instantly. Luvia also nodded: "Come back early; you've worked hard today."

About ten minutes later, the three moons above Green Lake were still swallowed by the lunar eclipse, and Audrey, who had hurriedly gotten off the carriage, pushed the door open and entered the brightly lit Green Lake Hotel.

She walked directly to the counter. The brother and sister, Soren and Helena, who were behind the counter, put down the account books and pens in their hands, and the witch asked hurriedly:

"Has he returned?"

"Yes, he is in his room."

Ms. Helena Green said, handing over the room key. A smile appeared on Audrey's face, and she turned to walk upstairs, only to hear her nephew say:

"About forty minutes ago, a red-haired lady came here, she..." "Yes, I have already seen her."

Before Mr. Soren Green could finish speaking, Audrey replied, then waved to her nephew and niece, and then walked excitedly toward the staircase.

Once her figure disappeared, Mr. Soren Green whispered to his sister: "I thought they were going to break out into a conflict."

Audrey hadn't heard the end of that sentence and thought the red-haired lady had come looking for her. But the hotel's owner siblings were very clear that the beautiful red-haired lady was "John Watson's" lover. This misunderstanding was caused by the spell Miss Galina cast when she left.

"I thought so too... It seems Aunt's ability to handle interpersonal relationships is even stronger than we thought."

Ms. Helena also whispered to her brother, and the latter showed great curiosity about this: "Looking at Aunt's smiling face, she must have gotten the better of the other party, right?"

"I think so. If she hadn't gained a huge advantage, she wouldn't be in such a good mood. I think a lady as powerful as Aunt couldn't possibly yield to other women."

Audrey naturally did not know that her relatives were discussing "elderly love," and she had already arrived at the door of Xia De's room. She knocked on the door very politely, and then heard Xia De's voice:

"It's not convenient for me to move right now; you can just come in."

Because it was Audrey dominating the body, Xia De's badge had already told him who was outside the door.

Thus, the witch took out the key and opened the door, only to discover that the lights in the room were not on. After entering the room, she discovered that Xia De was sitting cross-legged in the center of the ritual array in the living room. Ink mixed with silver powder emitted a soft and cold silver moonlight on the floor, and a total of thirty-six rounded pearls, each only the size of a fingernail, floated around Xia De, rotating slowly like a star chart.

Megan realized that Xia De was performing a ritual, so she did not disturb him.

Xia De remained with his eyes closed, controlling the pearls to arrange and transform the star chart around him, while reaching out to gently stroke the air in front of him, and thus the rounded white pearls were all stained with a layer of silver.

With a rustle, the curtains were drawn open, connecting the scenery of the moonless night with the interior.

Xia De softly chanted the incantation, and at the same time, the light on the ritual array and the light on the 36 pearls all slowly extinguished. The entire process lasted for a full ten minutes. When the last trace of light in the room vanished, total darkness enveloped the place, so much so that even the witch's eyes could not see anything at all.

She felt the cold; it was not a normal drop in temperature, but more like a power symbolizing "destruction" and "end." Fortunately, the duration of the darkness was extremely short, and soon she saw the brass-colored metal life ring illuminating the room.

(Continuation of previous line)

That silver moonlight was not intense, but it was sufficiently stable. The light also illuminated Xia De. He slowly opened his eyes, and a black symbol with a complex pattern flashed across his eyes.

"Black Moon Symbol?"

The Great Witch of Knowledge and Wisdom was well-informed, and she casually turned on the gas lamp on the wall:

"That Miss Danister actually taught you such a dangerous miracle? It seems she really doesn't just value you in an ordinary way."

"Miss Danister has always been very good to me."

Xia De said, pointing to an apple on the table to the side. After the apple floated in front of him, he gently touched the surface of the apple, and then a black mark like ink was branded onto the apple.

Xia De let the apple float further away, and then snapped his fingers. And so, without any warning, the fresh red apple turned into white ash and fell all over the floor.
