Chapter 1957: Respective Endings

~10 min read 1,820 words

Xia De put down his teacup and looked at the people on both sides of the table watching him. The teacup hit the saucer, and the Edwards also looked at him.

Xia De recounted the final whereabouts of their ancestor, recounted that the Green siblings inherited the Green Lake Central Island in reality, and also recounted the changes on this island after that great battle, as well as the Church's and Xia De's own handling of this island.

The Edwards listened carefully, and after these narrations were finished, Xia De said the final arrangement:

"The Green Lake Battle is over. I don't want to kill any more living people. Having obtained life, one should enjoy another life well."

First, he looked at the twins of the sixth generation, that is, the Folen brothers of the 【Rose Cross Society】 and the Edwards brothers of the 【Mirror Association】:

"In a while, I need to deal with your memories, and then arrange for you to leave this island. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for me here for three days. Oh, Wood Edwards and Glass Edwards, please ask the 'Mirror Hider' for me; he contributed a lot in the Green Lake Battle."

All four stood up to express their gratitude:

"We also got the opportunity to spend time with our mother/father again. Please also allow us to express our gratitude."

As for dealing with memories, they all saw the intimate cooperation between Xia De and Iluna that night, and Xia De could not leave this hidden danger. Memory processing was handled by Siris; the 【Order of the Forgotten】 was best at doing this kind of thing.

"Mr. Solon Green, Ms. Helena Green, continue your normal lives. Just treat the experience of these few days as an interesting and exciting adventure in life. When you are old, you might feel this is very interesting."

The siblings also stood up and thanked Xia De in the light. After all, they were not absorbed by the "ancestor" that night, all thanks to the transaction between Xia De and the other party.

There were not many living people here, so Xia De looked at the two cultists of the fifth generation again, Nadia Folen who believed in the evil god 【Dragon-Eating Demon】 and Jarvis Edwards who belonged to the 【Tyranny Club】. They were also the elders of the two brothers just now.

"Although the two have different positions from me, I just said that I have no intention of killing. Ms. Nadia Folen, after dealing with your memories in a while, you should also leave here together."

The Folen brothers were obviously relieved.

"As for Mr. Jarvis Edwards..."

This middle-aged man in a black suit belonged to the type with the least intersection with Xia De among all the Edwards:

"After dealing with the memories, go to the Orthodox Church to surrender. I am not that kind of harsh person, so you can choose any church."

"I protest, why can Cousin Nadia leave freely? But I have to go to the Church to surrender!"

The middle-aged man stood up immediately to protest, and Xia De shook his head:

"Because before the great battle, Ms. Nadia Folen contacted me alone and told me some important information."

That was before encountering Mr. Sean Asmon, the "Demon Scholar," on a rainy night:

"Although I hate cultists, she helped me, so I let him go."

"Ha, don't say it so nicely."

Ms. Folen, who had her arms crossed, looked at Xia De:

"Don't think I don't know, you hope I return to the 【Dragon Feast Order】 and pass on the news of the Chosen of 'Light' to you when necessary."

Xia De could not say he didn't have this idea, but it wasn't entirely like that:

"Then are you leaving?"

"Of course."

The woman in a floral dress, who looked thirty-five or thirty-six, said immediately.

The Edwards brothers, who each had one eye blinded, wanted to plead for their father to Xia De, but didn't know how to speak. Xia De saved all of them and didn't continue killing, which was already the best result.

The remaining living person was Sloth Edwards of the second generation, but Xia De skipped him and looked at the ghosts.

The affairs of the six living people of the sixth generation had been dealt with. Except for Megan, Audrey, and the two cultists, only Mr. Nicholas Green remained in the fifth generation. The former old ghoul had now turned into an old ghost.

He once thought his ancestor was biased and therefore refused to board the island. Now it seemed his idea was not wrong. Among the 11 people of the fifth and sixth generations born outside Green Lake, only he was truly dead.

The ghosts all looked at Xia De, and Xia De also stated his point of view:

"Those who should go should not stay, but I respect everyone's choice. If you really want to stay, I will not oppose it, but you cannot leave the Green Lake area. Old Mr. Green, you gave me a lot of help and information. I respect your choice. What are you going to do?"

The old gentleman looked at his mother, Maria Edwards, and then at his children. Xia De still remembered Maria Edwards crying when he saw her in the wreckage of the banquet hall on the crown of the giant tree on the night of the Green Lake Battle.

He didn't hesitate for too long; he had also made plans for the future these days:

"I want to stay temporarily. Although Solon is married, he hasn't had children yet, and Helena isn't married yet. I can't watch her be so old and still... They have to continue running the hotel and restore the glory of the family town in the future. They also need my help. I won't stay forever. At least, when they all pass away, I will definitely go with them."

"Father..."

"Father..."

The siblings' eyes were a bit red, and Xia De also felt this was very appropriate. Old Mr. Green had a lot of interaction with him, and even though he turned into a ghoul and hid in the ancient tombs near the Green Lake City Public Cemetery and Lower Griol Village, he only liked to eat roast chicken for so many years and never hurt the living. Of course, it was no problem for him to stay.

"My priest friend would probably like to chat with you very much. He is also a master of necromancy."

Xia De commented with a smile on the loyal clergy of the Dawn Church.

After dealing with the fifth and sixth generation affairs, he looked at the four siblings of the fourth generation. They experienced the family's changing period, spent their childhood in this mansion, then left the island to spend their youth, and branched out for the family.

Hohenheim, Edward, Alphonse, Maria, the four siblings should have talked about their future these days, so without much thought, they told Xia De the answer:

"We want to continue walking; this is our destination."

The three brothers of the fourth generation who turned into ghouls had many exchanges with Xia De and the Church. At this time, they turned into ordinary souls, and they could no longer see the beastliness and terror of the past.

Xia De nodded in agreement, so the four siblings also gave their final instructions to their children.

"Atone for your sins well at the Church. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Since you were young, I have taught you this way."

Hohenheim said to Jarvis Edwards. The latter originally felt Xia De's arrangement was unfair, but after being criticized by his father, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"And you, I have no opinion on learning skills well, but don't do bad things. Otherwise, without the God-Caller, there will be others to clean you up."

Hohenheim said to his grandchildren again, and the brothers of the Mirror Association nodded to their grandfather immediately. This man who should have become the fourth-generation lord of the Edwards family had a very strong sense of oppression when he spoke.

"If the God-Caller needs help, you can give him some help."

Edward Edwards, the second son of the fourth generation, said to his daughter. Facing her father, even though Nadia Folen was still unconvinced, she nodded:

"Yes, Father, I will consider it."

So Edward looked at his grandsons again, and the brothers stood up quickly to show respect:

"Grandfather, we will live well."

"You said you haven't married these days, I am really worried. I don't care who inherits the title, but you cannot not marry."

The Folen brothers responded embarrassedly, and even Xia De showed a smile.

Maria Edwards, the youngest daughter of the fourth generation, looked at Old Mr. Green, who was clearly reluctant in his soul state.

"Nikolai (nickname), you are such a big person, don't cry. Take good care of your children. When you also head toward the end of death, don't forget to tell me what their next generation is like."

Old Mr. Green nodded heavily, and Maria Edwards looked at the Green siblings again:

"Run the Green Lake Hotel well, and also run the family island well. Even without the Edwards, our bloodline will still multiply here forever. Although the ancestor died, the family will not perish."

Then she smiled and said to Xia De:

"The oath we made in the lavender field, you have already completed. Thank you for protecting them."

As the voice fell, the balance symbol on her forehead that only Xia De and a few special existences could see disappeared, and Xia De also received feedback that his soul and body were slightly improved after completing the oath.

But just as her voice fell, the third son of the fourth generation, Mr. Alphonse Edwards, who looked thin and tall, stared and asked Xia De the question he had been holding back for three full days:

"Kid, what is your relationship with my daughters?"

Although Xia De saved him and his whole family, and it was said that he was a thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi, he had no respect for Xia De at all.

More than one person was holding back laughter. It seemed that this old gentleman had already learned about some things between Xia De, Megan, and Audrey from the Folen brothers and the Edwards brothers.

Xia De really wanted to remind the other party that it was best to respect him, but feeling inexplicably guilty, he explained:

"In the future, I will marry Megan and Audrey."

Because she didn't want to touch men, the witch sitting next to Maria Edwards and Ms. Helena Green raised her head and looked at Xia De, but Mr. Alphonse Edwards was still dissatisfied, and his eyes widened even more:

"I heard, you have more than one lover?" ===== CHAPTER 1958 =====
