Chapter 1760

"Before we set out, His Majesty was also worried that we might encounter usable relics but not recognize them, so he had me memorize a relic illustrated guide. Although that guide didn't have the conch - 【Undying Thoughts】, it had this - 【Golden Memories】. After blood is mixed into ink and gold powder is added, then three of the most profound memories with someone are recorded here, and that person in the memories can return. It can be a living person or a soul. The only restriction this time is that the soul cannot be completely destroyed. Apart from this, there are no other restrictive conditions."

Miss Higgins was actually worried that the soul not summoned by the conch last time was destroyed, but she didn't dare to say it, and Xia De naturally wouldn't mention it:

"What about the negative characteristics?"

"When writing down memories, everyone around will be passively entered into the memories. This kind of entering other people's memories is a quite dangerous behavior, but fortunately, Mrs. Miles is an ordinary person, and you and I are both..."

She couldn't tell what Xia De was, thought for a moment, and simply skipped this topic:

"Mrs. Miles, we will see the real scene in your memories in a while, so please don't mind."

The old woman smiled and shook her head, took the notebook, and gently stroked the cover with her palm:

"It doesn't matter. If I can see him in my memories in advance, I will also be very happy. You have also worked hard. No matter what the final result is, I can accept it."

Xia De looked into the thick fog around:

"Then let's try it now. Do you have ink, a pen, and gold powder?"

The time wasted in the camp this time was not much, and there was still quite a lot of the total time of twenty minutes left. He had plenty of time to watch the old woman try the second relic again. Since the demon pointed out the direction only after receiving money, Xia De thought it should be fine this time.

"Yes, they are in the backpack."

So the witch took out the ink, and after adding gold powder, Mrs. Miles cut her index finger herself and squeezed blood into the ink.

Everything was ready. She wrote with the pen herself, was stunned for a moment recalling the past, and then while telling the young people, she told the story of the past:

"This is not a very interesting story. My first meeting with him was in a spring. I was working as a helper in the village at that time, picking up a floral dress ordered by the village head's wife from the town. Everyone was not rich at that time, and that dress was so beautiful. In that good weather, it was almost like it could glow. It is said that this was a style modified from a dress worn by a Witch Emperor. At that time, I always believed this."

The ink fell, and in the sky shrouded in black fog, a ray of sunlight shone on the nib, and then the fog in the whole sky was dispelled.

Xia De and Miss Higgins squinted and looked up. In the azure sky, the sun was in a direction slightly east, and large white clouds were floating slowly in the blue sky. Looking around again, Mrs. Miles was still sitting by the campfire writing her memories, and on the other side of the path under the feet of Xia De and Miss Higgins, a young girl with her hair wrapped in a headscarf and wearing a faded floral dress was walking towards here holding a paper bag.

Her appearance was plain, and there were even some freckles on her face. But it could be seen that her mood was quite good, and she was humming a tune Xia De had never heard while walking.

"Mrs. Miles's cousin, our Majesty, only sat on the throne and the council seat more than ten years ago. The grandmother's story happened at least fifty years ago. Look, Mrs. Miles was really young at that time."

Miss Higgins reminded Xia De in a low voice.

"Madam, did you meet that Mr. Richard Jackmann on this road back to the village?"

Xia De asked curiously. The black fog completely dissipated. This was really a sunny day, and the wind was warm and comfortable. Xia De was not sure whether it was Mrs. Miles's memory that beautified the environment here, but it was really good here.

The old man sitting by the campfire also looked up at the surroundings, and her old eyes seemed to be glowing. A smile appeared on her face, and it was a smile from the heart:

"Yes, I will never forget it. I was 15 that year, and he was 17. He was the youngest son of the knight in the next village, riding a horse from behind me. I walked to the side of the road to let his horse pass. When he passed by me, I fell in love with him at first sight..."

The young girl had already arrived in front of Xia De and Miss Higgins, but couldn't see them at all. Behind her, the cheerful sound of horse hooves came. A thin young man with black hair and a sword hanging from his waist, riding a date-red horse, appeared not far away.

To be honest, this young man's appearance was also plain. Xia De was not very narcissistic, but he knew very well that the other party's appearance, not to mention compared to himself, was probably average even if put at the average level.

Just as Mrs. Miles described, the young man rode a horse and passed by the young girl who had moved to the side of the road, and then left towards the distance.

The old man stopped writing for a while, looked up with her younger self, and watched that figure go away. The wrinkles on her face piled together, but that happy expression couldn't be hidden:

"It's so good..."

"He didn't stop, so, did you meet again later?"

The witch asked curiously, and the old man shook her head:

"No, look."

As the words fell, the boy who had gone far away rode back. He carefully controlled the horse, jumped down in front of the young girl who didn't dare to look up, and then issued an invitation:

"Excuse me, are you going to Little Hangleton Village?"

"The 17-year-old him jumped off the horse, his black hair shining in the sun. His teeth were very white, and he asked me very gentlemanly if I needed a ride. Later, he took me riding back to the village, and then put me at the entrance of the village. It was a long time later that I knew he wanted to stop by my side immediately at that time. The reason why he walked a distance and came back was that he couldn't control his father's horse at all."

The old man looked at the words she wrote in the notebook, and in a trance, she felt that she also went away with the girl sitting sideways on the horse not far away.

The boy was very gentlemanly and didn't get on the horse, but walked in front holding the reins. They talked and laughed. The young boy was very cheerful, while the girl held the paper bag with her head down, blushing and responding to the topic.

They gradually went away with the memories.

The black fog shrouded the surroundings again. In the blink of an eye, the three of them returned to the outskirts of the Black Fog Camp. The campfire crackled, Mrs. Miles had a happy expression on her face, and Miss Higgins, although she didn't look up to men, longed for such an encounter and love:

"It's a pity, I have passed the age of such green love. When I was young, why didn't I meet that 'her'?"

She muttered in a low voice, not knowing that Xia De, whose hearing was superb, could hear it completely. Of course, Xia De pretended not to hear anything, and after seeing other people's happy memories, his own love story naturally surfaced.

"You don't have a lover, do you?"

Miss Higgins asked Xia De, who had a thoughtful expression, with surprise. Xia De nodded:

"Of course, I'm still quite popular."

The young witch pursed her lips and stopped talking, realizing that she was the only single one here. Instead, Mrs. Miles asked:

"Young man, was your encounter also in a sunny spring?"

"This..."

What Xia De thought about first was not whether it was a sunny day that day, but who he should recall his first meeting with.

The first girl he met around him was Dorothy. That day he returned to the clinic with Dr. Schneider and heard the doctor introduce the situation of St. Byrons. The blonde girl pushed the door and entered... Of course, it was proven later that the soul in the body might be Princess Lei Qianya.

The first girl he met who confirmed their relationship was Luweiya. That was at Lakeview Manor. Luweiya, who had gone to another place for the Astrologers Association's work, also attended the banquet that led to a series of things later after returning. That night the starry sky was very clear, and Luweiya wearing a dress was also very beautiful. That was also the first time Xia De saw those purple eyes.

The first witch he met was Miss Miss Jia Lin Na. That night he accepted the commission of Mr. Franklin, the accountant, to find his son at the "Lucky Southern Cross Club," and then first met Captain Rads who was drunk, and then was discovered by the witch. That night, he didn't see the witch, just talked across the room, and didn't even know the other party's name.

"Speaking of which, the Franklin family moved to the City of Art, Atek, later. I don't know how they are now..."

The encounters with these three ladies were either at night or in the city in heavy fog. And the encounter in the bright sunshine... That was the beginning of the outsider coming to this world. When he was looking for a pet store, he met Yin Luna at the entrance of the store.

The seventeen-year-old girl smiled at him politely and then walked into the light of the alley. At that moment, it was as if a beam of heaven's light shone on her, as if the whole world was watching her. Xia De would never forget that scene... And then he met the lost pet cat Little Mia, who was hiding on the roof and made the pet store owner both hate and fear, on the sunny roof. That day was also the day Xia De and Little Mia met for the first time.

"Look at your expression, you should also have many stories, right?"

The old man asked with a smile, and Xia De nodded, asking a question:

"Actually... I have always felt guilty towards them. They love me, and I naturally love them the same, but I can't... I am probably really too greedy."

The lives of the Witch Emperors were worse than the outsiders of the Sixth Era, so Miss Higgins was not surprised by this at all. Mrs. Miles also understood what Xia De wanted to express:

"You mean, you feel guilty for not being loyal to them?"

"Yes."

The old man hit the nail on the head. She looked at the young man in front of her who seemed a bit anxious, but more guilty:

"The fact that you can feel guilty itself shows that you understand what you have done. You are unwilling to let go, right?"
