Chapter 1897
Dorothy said this, and Xia De understood, but he didn't have time to destroy the entire town to destroy one of the symbols of the ritual. And after finishing talking about what he had just seen and heard, Xia De finally mentioned the purpose of his return this time.
The sorceresses, Angelina, and the cat were all looking at him in the light and shadow of the bonfire. Xia De knew that in such a serious occasion, he should say something inspiring, or at least something very serious. But the purpose of his return this time really couldn't be called very serious.
"It's like this."
The empty perfume bottle was taken out by him, and then he stammered, not knowing how to express it. Princess Lei Qianya, who was closest to Xia De, looked at the bottle, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. She said with a smile:
"Seeing you looking so serious and earnest, I thought you were going to say something. We stayed here originally to do logistics for you; this is your supply point. You were right to come back this time. This bottle is filled with perfume, so we can let you set off with peace of mind."
Spirit is not purely energy, but information, elements, energy, the sum of everything in the world that ring-warlocks can understand, and one of the manifestations of the ring-warlock's mind interfering with matter, so it is difficult to find a way to recover quickly. Whether there is perfume that can replenish spirit is indeed very important to Xia De.
And with Princess Lei Qianya saying this, Dorothy also understood the purpose of Xia De's return this time. Compared to the bold Princess, the writer had thinner skin. She blushed and patted Xia De, but also nodded:
"You want to replenish this perfume bottle?"
"There isn't much time, just let some perfume be produced inside."
Xia De tried his best to make his expression serious when saying this sentence, as if he were really talking about serious business:
"Let's go upstairs."
"Please don't do that."
But the black-haired maid on the side stopped Xia De:
"We blocked the stairs, no one was left on the third floor, and it's not safe there now."
"I don't want to... in front of so many people..."
Difa waved her hand, and those girls who were temporarily not participating in the battle and not participating in the hotel's defense work gathered around with slightly red faces. They held hands and surrounded Xia De, Dorothy, Princess Lei Qianya, and the bonfire in the center, with their bodies facing outward, backs to the three of them.
"Miss Servet, you come and help too."
Princess Lei Qianya's voice came, so the black-haired head maid also walked into the human wall.
"Actually, it's not very dangerous upstairs."
Xia De was still trying to argue, but Princess Lei Qianya's voice overwhelmed him:
"Angelina, don't come over, turn around and face away from here, it's best to cover your ears."
Then, I don't know which girl threw out a silence charm, so even the crackling sound of the bonfire burning disappeared.
It was not silent here; the sound of rain outside the hotel and the sound of the other two bonfires burning were so clear on the first floor of the hotel at this moment, because everyone was lowering their breathing, wanting to listen to some different sounds.
No one spoke. The sorceresses were a little nervous and a little curious. They kept silent by tacit agreement, but were curious about what the ungraspable swaying black shadow projected on the ceiling meant.
Miss Hailey Aurora stood by the window with a red face, trying to let the wind outside cool her face. Angelina, sitting on a chair at the table, hugged Little Mia and, together with the cat with wide amber eyes, looked at the human wall formed by those tall girls. She pursed her lips. Although there was a slight pain in her heart, she understood that this was something that had to happen at the moment.
Two complex emotions intertwined, and she couldn't describe her feelings at this moment:
"Sister, do you really have such strong guard against me?"
She asked herself in her heart. The cat in her arms looked back at her curiously; the cat seemed to hear two different voices.
Five minutes later, as the effect of the silence charm was actively canceled, the girls who formed the human wall also dispersed with red faces. Xia De wiped the many lipstick marks on his face with a handkerchief, Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy buttoned his coat for him, and Difa handed the perfume bottle that had just been placed on the ground to Xia De.
Shaking the bottle, the pink transparent perfume occupied two-thirds of the bottle's volume. Considering that only five minutes had passed, this speed was truly astonishing.
The effect of this bottle absorbing "desire" and converting it into perfume did not only work on Xia De, the relic holder, but was also useful to everyone around. Xia De didn't know if the maid stopping him from going upstairs just now was also considering this reason. But it had to be admitted that in such a dangerous and weird environment, the things they had just done... these girls, most of whose names Xia De couldn't call, still played a great role. Otherwise, relying only on Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya and the others, it would be absolutely impossible to make the liquid in the bottle recover so much in a short time.
"With so many girls here, you actually don't need to consider how to fill this bottle."
Princess Lei Qianya didn't forget to say while helping Xia De button his coat, and Xia De took back the bottle from Difa's hand. There was one sentence he could only say to himself in his heart:
"If this continues, actually, without the temptation of 'desire,' I might fall into the appearance she wants by myself. Xia De, oh Xia De..."
"She" in his ear smiled gently, but Xia De didn't know if "She" was laughing at his behavior or laughing at his thoughts at this moment.
In short, this return for supplies went quite smoothly. After Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy tidied up his clothes, he talked about the white light he encountered on the island and the "supplies" inside, and then set off again.
However, this time it was not to continue walking towards the depths of the town, but to head towards the dangerous waters Miss Aurora mentioned. The witches would soon send new news, and Xia De wanted to return as soon as possible after exploring outside the pier. The communication between the two sides could not be established so conveniently every time.
In order not to let Xia De miss the communication time, Difa gave him a charm before Xia De left. Because of the thick fog on the island, even communication within the island would be affected, but fortunately, the effect of this charm was only that one was damaged, and the other would be damaged at the same time, which could allow Xia De to return at the right time.
Going from the hotel to the pier was much easier than entering the town from the hotel. Because he had walked with Difa once, Xia De also walked out of the forest quickly this time. On the way, he saw the white light spots again. This time, he found a bottle of No. 3 holy water and a detailed map of the island in the real world from that white light, but unfortunately, this was almost useless to Xia De.
Arriving at the lake, the green lake water surged under the dark night sky, and further away was an even darker and unknowable place. Miss Aurora didn't say where the stranded ship was, so Xia De could only search for it himself.
Because the small wooden boat he summoned could only exist one at a time, Xia De could only prepare to step on the water and enter the lake surface directly:
"I hope there are no other things under the water... This place doesn't look like there are no things either."
Just as he was about to enter the water, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the night sky.
Dark clouds and thick fog covered everything above his head, so originally he couldn't see any stars or the moon at all. But at this moment, a dim circular red halo was appearing behind the dark clouds and thick fog. It looked clearly like a huge red moon.
"What's the situation? Why did the red moon suddenly appear?"
The moon was trying to appear more clearly, but it was not successful. After Xia De looked up at it for no more than three seconds, the red halo began to fade bit by bit, and in a few breaths, it was almost completely invisible.
"It's the people outside!"
Xia De immediately understood and raised his hand to try to capture the moonlight that was gradually disappearing, but of course, he didn't have the ability to grasp the light now.
"Red Moon!"
A corner of the life ring appeared behind him, and the Blasphemy - 【Red Moon】 spirit rune faced the moonlight that was only the last trace left in the rain. The scarlet moonlight and the spirit rune's spiritual light overlapped. The red moon, which was about to disappear behind the fog and clouds, finally became stable because it captured the power that could resonate, and the red moonlight also became brighter bit by bit.
But this moonlight was not illuminating the sky and the earth, but only gathered into a beam, shining on the position of the spirit rune on Xia De's life ring.
Half a minute later, when the beam of scarlet moonlight was as clear and obvious as a gas lamp gathered by a lens on a stage, in that beam of light, the figure of the Thirteen-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi "Red Moon Witch" Danister finally appeared in front of Xia De.
Her figure became clear, and the librarian of St. Byron's looked at Xia De in front of her:
"I am not a physical body now; I borrowed the power of the moon. You can understand it as: I projected myself onto the red moon in the night sky of the material world, and then with the help of the red moon, I reflected that part of my power here."
She pointed to the blurry red moon above their heads:
"I shouldn't be able to exist for too long; the rejection of me here is very severe. When this moon disappears, my current projection will dissipate."
She didn't waste precious time asking Xia De why he appeared here, and Xia De naturally didn't discuss this topic by tacit agreement, just hiding the Night Watchman in his hand behind his back:
"The Edwards Ascension Technique hasn't started yet. There are many thick tree roots under this island, and that diviner seems to be making final preparations. I heard that the Diviner Society divined that there is an important clue on a stranded ship, and I am just about to go find it."
The sorceress with rose-red eyes raised an eyebrow:
"This news was only divined more than ten minutes ago... You really do have other ways to get in touch with the outside world."
"Relying only on myself, it's hard to move on the island. After all, I'm only at the Sixth Ring; I'm really too weak."
