Chapter 1832
This feeling of using oneself as a bridge to connect fractured time became increasingly clear after confirming the existence of the "Past/Sixth Era" between the Fifth Era and the "Present World." Because Long-Haired Luweiya destroyed space-time six times, the Fifth and Sixth Eras are no longer continuous; this abnormality will certainly have an impact on the world. Xia De even suspects that the fact that no new relics are appearing in the Sixth Era might be related to this.
Amidst the rustling sound of swaying branches and leaves, two green leaves spiraled down from the sky and landed in Xia De's upturned palms. Two verdant 【Leaves of Eternal Youth】, one representing a brand-new spell, the other representing information related to the "Silver Moon Library."
Even though Xia De was controlling himself with all his might, he still couldn't help but let a smile show on his face.
【You still say you aren't using the Key Number immediately because you want to obtain the library's information as soon as possible?】
She whispered softly in Xia De's ear, though her tone was tinged with a warning.
"Even if the library's information doesn't allow me to enter it again immediately, it might still have a favorable impact on the upcoming decisive battle at Green Lake."
Xia De responded to her this way, nodded gently toward the phantom of the giant tree before him, and then took a step back with Miss Luweiya.
The white mist dissipated, and although he had stepped backward, he walked out of the bathroom door in Dorothy's room at the Green Lake Hotel on Thursday night.
Just as he was about to explain the ending of the touching story he had just seen to Dorothy, who was waiting for him, the blonde girl spoke up in a panic first:
"Xia De, what happened to you? Oh! Where are you hurt? How are you feeling now?"
"You've helped me more; there's no need for such polite talk. Why, do you still need me to stay here? Or do you have other arrangements for me? I see the situation here is very wrong. Your target isn't that island, is it?"
Because the devil coin made by the doctor hadn't been consumed and belonged to the past, it returned to the present along with him. Although the doctor was curious why Xia De had finished his business with the other devil so quickly after leaving with the coin just ten minutes ago, he didn't ask much:
"Are you really leaving just like that?" "Why are you so proactive today?"
Carrying such doubts, Xia De returned to the third floor to find the doctor and told him the good news:
It was Priest Priest Ao Gu Si, who had seen Xia De being pushed out of another bedroom door and then staring straight at it; as he passed behind Xia De on the stairs, he patted him on the shoulder as a comfort:
"Priest Priest Ao Gu Si is looking for materials to advance to the Fourth Ring; perhaps he will still need our help. Besides, Doctor, I hope you can stay here to protect the safety of the shopkeeper Green siblings... and also help me keep an eye on Dorothy. You know about her space-shifting abilities."
"How do you plan to handle that guy?" The doctor naturally had no objections:
Then he was grabbed by the sleeve by Dorothy, who looked at him "fiercely" with tear-stained emerald eyes:
"Captain Lades at the Crossroads Camp is my friend; if you encounter trouble, you can find him for help."
Of course, she was also supervising Little Mia through the reflection of the glass so it wouldn't eat the precious leaves. While the 【Leaves of Eternal Youth】 possessed the "not easily damaged" property of all relics, they were the only thing that could be easily destroyed by teeth.
"Then let's not delay. It's this Saturday; we have never spent the Day of the Red Butterfly together in a foreign land."
"Anyway, since you are all here, I wouldn't find anyone to hold a meeting if I went back. I've already arranged things at the clinic, so don't worry about that. So I'll just stay here. Come to think of it, I haven't been to the City of Glass across the way yet. I heard from the priest that you gave him a special pass? Then I'll just go and look around with the priest."
However, you should keep this coin. Although it is an item made with devilish arts, it actually doesn't have too much devilish power, so you won't have any problems using it normally.
I remember that when playing Luo De cards, you sometimes need to use coins. Keep it; you might find a use for it."
Xia De once thought that the person speaking now was Lei Qianya. Only after Dorothy finished speaking did she realize what she had expressed, and she patted him on the shoulder with a blushing face.
"You wouldn't normally take the initiative to suggest kissing someone. Did something happen in the past? Looking at it this way, I really should let you go on more adventures."
"How can that be? Saturday, my... with Lei Qianya hasn't passed yet. Could it be that on the Day of the Red Butterfly, the three of us are just going shopping together? What's the point of waiting so long?"
She heard footsteps and turned her head to see Xia De walking out while wiping his hair with a towel. He threw down the towel, hugged Dorothy enthusiastically, and then, to the writer's surprise, took the initiative to kiss her.
Xia De said again, then pointed to the closed bathroom door of the bedroom in the doctor's room:
"No, Priest, I wasn't kicked out. I just... well, it's just like that."
Xia De went downstairs to the basement to determine if Miss Sylvia and Megan, who had gone to the council meeting, had returned. But at this moment, in the vast basement, only the completed ritual was flickering with light, and the girls responsible for maintaining the ritual had not seen the return of the Great Witch:
"Doctor, I actually don't cheat when playing cards. I am a very serious Luo De card player."
"It's over. This coin is really useful."
"You can leave now. You've really worked hard during this time. However, we have signed a contract, and you cannot reveal any information about us to any existence at any point in time. If you violate the contract, you know what will happen."
Although he said that, Xia De still put the coin away. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the doctor, and the doctor, who was also happy for this, shook his head:
The writer is sentimental. Although Xia De's storytelling level might not be as good as hers, she could still use her imagination and the few scene images reproduced by Xia De with the "Moon Library" to know how sincere and touching the story that happened in the previous era was.
Finally, he showed Dorothy the Third-Ring Enlightenment Spirit Rune on his Life Ring behind his back.
When Xia De reached the end, she snuggled in Xia De's arms with red eyes and actually sobbed. Xia De originally thought she was sobbing because of the love story, but he didn't expect her to be thinking of something else:
"Tomorrow is Friday, the day after is Saturday. Having waited for 21 days, having reached the Day of the Red Butterfly, it turns out it has to be delayed."
Xia De looked down at himself. At this moment, he was still in a miserable state, covered in mud and blood on the front of his body.
"Why, do you still want to stay and help us deal with that ancestor of the Edwards?"
"Today is Friday. I will finish this matter before the weekend. If necessary, I will ask you and Bill for help. If it goes smoothly, I can handle it myself."
"I have inspiration~ I have a lot of inspiration! Anyway, we can't... tonight... don't stay here to tempt me.
Oh, Xia De, you don't know how much attraction you have for me and Lei Qianya. Please don't disturb me tonight; I want to write down the inspiration I just had into my own story in one go!"
The kiss ended, and the very satisfied writer asked with a blushing face:
Although she thought of herself from someone else's story, this story, which was almost equivalent to the original "Clock Tower Lover" fairy tale, still made Dorothy feel deeply. Xia De was quite curious whether this fairy tale really originated from that story. Dorothy didn't know, but she chased Xia De and Little Mia out of the room:
She gently served Xia De, helped him change his clothes, and then sat down to listen to Xia De tell the ending of Mrs. Miles's love story, telling the story of the girl who waited a lifetime and the young man who suffered in the flames for a lifetime, walking hand in hand toward the final 365 days.
The priest was going downstairs to get hot tea. Xia De accompanied him downstairs and learned about the progress of the priest's investigation on the stairs. Xia De didn't know what method Priest Priest Ao Gu Si would use to find the whereabouts of the three Ghoul Liches, but he looked very confident: the floating genie asked rhetorically, and the doctor was a little surprised:
"Your actions are really fast. It's good that it's useful. I knew my craftsmanship wouldn't have any problems.
Xia De originally thought she was joking, and then he was holding Mia and was really pushed out of the door by Dorothy. Although the blonde girl finally gave him a kiss, when he held his things, stood in front of the bedroom door, watched the door close, and almost hit his nose, he still didn't expect that he would be "kicked out" just like that.
"Do your meetings always take so long? You wouldn't always hold meetings in the evening and go until dawn, would you?"
It was hard to explain to Dorothy that he was fine, and then he was chased by her to take a bath. After taking a bath, Little Mia stood on the bed, sniffing the two 【Leaves of Eternal Youth】. The scales and the bronze bell were placed on the desk, while the blonde girl stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall by the window, looking at the rainy night outside.
Xia De had also considered this question:
The doctor had no intention of breaking his promise, at least not this time. After the cork popped and the blue genie appeared from the colorful smoke, he waved his hand at the "genie":
Now the blue genie in the bottle had already helped the doctor capture the maze devil—Yalu, and helped forge the devil coin in Xia De's hand. According to the agreement, it was time to let it go.
The doctor then also pointed to that door. The door opened, and the bottle with colorful smoke floated out. Although this Sage-level relic 【Greed's Reward】 had once been a devil, after it transformed into a relic, the doctor could no longer devour its power—the whisper elements were also fatal to Doctor Schneider, who was still an ordinary person.
"If she is angry with you, don't disturb her now. I have handled many similar conflicts in the church; almost every man has had the experience of being locked out by girls. Need comfort? I have many good stories here."
