Chapter 1958: Leaving and Leaving

"... Yes."

"Then what about them?"

"They are all my wings... I mean, I will be responsible for everyone."

"You..."

He was about to stand up, but was pulled by his brother Edward and sister Maria:

"Calm down, he is the God-Caller, the strongest person in the material world. Since he promised to be responsible, you should be happy. You also know that the moral values of ordinary people don't have much restraint on Ringed Shushi. He is a person who keeps his promises, and having a promise is enough."

But this kind of comforting words made Mr. Alphonse Edwards even more annoyed.

He looked at his brothers and sister:

"You say it easily, don't you know that everyone can sit here peacefully now, and he was willing to save all of us that night, all because of my daughters?"

His voice was deafening:

"It is because my daughters exist that he is willing to help us; it is because my daughters became his lovers that he can talk to us with a smile instead of sending us away directly. You got help without paying anything, but my daughters paid their whole lives!"

This gentleman was not wrong, so his two brothers and only sister could not say much more.

Xia De looked at Megan, who showed an expression of being unable to help. And because the others younger than Alphonse Edwards of the fourth generation had no right to speak, Xia De looked at his elders.

Envy Edwards, the eldest son of the third generation, was wandering away, not knowing what he was thinking. Gluttony Edwards gave Xia De a sneer:

"You want to marry my granddaughter, why should I speak for you?"

Others at the table were not surprised; it seemed they already knew the true identity of Alphonse, who was an adopted son on the surface.

Fortunately, the father of the four siblings of the fourth generation, the former demon Pride Edwards, spoke:

"Alphonse, I think this young man is actually a very good person. Don't over-interfere with the choices of your descendants, otherwise what is the difference between you and the ancestor?"

Facing his father, the angry middle-aged man nodded and sat down again, but still asked Xia De:

"Although you are high-level, you won't always hide and have no fixed residence, right?"

"Oh, I have a nice property in the capital of the kingdom, and it's quite large."

Alphonse Edwards' expression eased a bit:

"I heard that the God-Caller has always refused to reveal his true identity. In the society of ordinary people, do you also have your own profession and reputation?"

"Yes, I am even considered a noble... Of course, I have a proper profession, although the income is not much, but the social status is definitely there."

Xia De was known as the "Famous Detective of Tobesk." Although he couldn't get business because of his reputation, he was indeed very famous in Tobesk... famous as the lover of the Duchess.

Mr. Alphonse Edwards' expression was no longer so serious:

"I know you are very strong, but I don't want my daughters to live a lifetime with a guy who only knows how to kill and fight."

He probably wanted to ask if Xia De had his own forces, but Xia De answered in another way:

"I actually have a doctorate, and I can be considered a cultured person."

Although it was an honorary degree in history, it was also a certificate. As for the degree from St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, he was still studying and hadn't received it, so there was no need to mention it. But according to the current situation, if his path to godhood was not completed within ten years, then it was almost a hundred percent probability that he would become the next librarian and get a tenured teaching position at the academy.

Mr. Alphonse Edwards finally nodded:

"Be good to my daughters in the future."

After speaking, he also exhorted Megan:

"I won't interfere with your choice, but if you regret it later after following such a fickle man, don't forget to cry in front of my and your mother's graves."

Most people were holding back laughter, and Megan could only nod:

"I know, Father... I won't regret it."

"Sure enough, still young."

Mr. Alphonse Edwards stopped speaking after saying this.

"Our bodies melted in the blood, but the graves should still be there. Move the graves here, and let the four of us be buried together on this island. Yes, it is this Green Island,"

Hohenheim Edwards said to the descendants on behalf of his younger brother and sister again:

"The graves will be placed in the flower garden behind this mansion, which can be considered as us wanderers who left our hometown finally falling leaves returning to their roots after a hundred years."

Their descendants all nodded together, everyone had descendants, and the bloodline was still being inherited. As for Maria Edwards, it was a water burial and there was no grave, but the Green siblings still had her relics, so they could rebuild a tomb and use those relics as bones.

After solving the affairs of the four siblings of the fourth generation, only the first three generations remained. The number of people in the first three generations was relatively small. Pride Edwards of the third generation looked at his sister Gluttony, and seeing that the other party didn't want to speak, he took the initiative to say to Xia De:

"The two of us choose to continue walking. These days, I talked with the children for a long time. They don't hate me for choosing to destroy the town and the island, and I am also very happy to be able to reunite with so many family members in the last period of my life. Seeing the family getting bigger and bigger, and everyone having their own stories, I am satisfied."

"Since it is my brother's choice, I will also continue walking. Wherever he goes, I will go."

Gluttony said, looking at Xia De with eyes that were not polite at all:

"Take good care of my granddaughters."

Xia De nodded, and looked at Envy Edwards, who had been wandering away. The latter noticed Xia De's gaze:

"I won't continue walking; I don't have that qualification."

Although he was saved by Xia De at a price from the state of the space-time curse, his soul was different from everyone else's. Xia De could feel that peculiar sense of space-time dislocation, and the power he mastered now was still amazing:

"Speaking of which, actually the time I experienced is more than all my family members combined. I have seen many things in the past, I have gone deep into the Fourth Era, the Third Era, and even touched the edge of the Second Era once."

He took a deep breath:

"I still have my mission. I will leave here and go to the place that truly needs me."

Xia De was a bit puzzled, but also understood a bit. He nodded slowly, deciding to talk about these things later.

In this way, only the living Sloth Edwards remained, the second son of the second generation, the younger brother of Last Edwards, and the second lord of the family who branched out the later four generations. He had also thought about his own affairs these days:

"After sending them away, I will take you to my father's library, laboratory, and storage room. After that, I will find the most suitable use for this life of mine."

"That's good, everyone, let's use tea instead of wine, please raise your glasses with me."

Both the living and the souls raised the teacups in front of them. On this sunny morning, they said together with Xia De:

"The last banquet of the family ends here. The six generations of the Edwards family have completed their mission. Everything is over. Please join me in a toast to Green Island! A toast to this world!"

"A toast to Green Island! A toast to this world!"

At this moment, Xia De suddenly thought, if Laplace Klein Howard saw this scene, what would he think?

No time to lose, those who should go should not stay. A group of people stood up and walked out of the house, coming to the courtyard of the old mansion. Family members said goodbye to each other, and relatives hugged each other. Even Megan and Audrey, who didn't like men, hugged their father, Mr. Alphonse Edwards, gently.

"Death is the beginning of another adventure. Goodbye world, goodbye family, goodbye God-Caller."

Pride Edwards of the third generation led everyone to bow to Xia De, and then Xia De waved to cut open a black crack, revealing the shallow beach illuminated by the Underworld Moon.

Pride, Gluttony, Hohenheim, Edward, Alphonse, and Maria walked in together. Megan's father, Mr. Alphonse, still looked at Xia De with a warning look at the end, but finally nodded to him. He said nothing, but Xia De understood what he meant.

Megan and Audrey appeared at this time. They were much stronger than Xia De thought, waving goodbye to their father. After the crack closed, they just wiped their eyes quietly.

Subsequently, the Green siblings took their father, Old Mr. Nicholas Green, and left first. And Xia De asked Megan to find Siris and the girls of the Golden Dawn on the island, letting the believers of the Ancient God 【Old Man of Oblivion】 handle the memories of the other six living people who were about to leave the island, that is, the two cultists and the two pairs of twins.

This was not simple work. To ensure nothing went wrong, memory processing required some time. So taking advantage of Siris and the girls of the opera troupe being busy, Xia De found Envy Edwards alone and talked to him at the door of the old mansion.

The strange soul looked at Xia De. They, who were also proficient in time power, should have had many common topics, but Xia De looked at the other party and suddenly understood that they were completely different.

"Please allow me to give you a piece of advice."

The soul looked at the town under the hills and said:

"Do not use the time key of the Ancient Era. Time exploration of the Fifth Era is enough. Time exploration of the Fourth Era has some problems, and do not touch the first three eras."

St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy actually did not approve of time key exploration of the Ancient Era. The meaning of the academy and the Church was roughly the same, so not only were Sage-level and Angel-level Relics not seen in the black market, but keys before the Fifth Era were also not seen.

"I understand."

"I cannot tell you what I have seen in the past. You probably know the rules of time better than I do. Grandfather may have said many things to you. Although he saw many things through my eyes, the truth does not represent everything. Please be cautious about this."

He said again, and Xia De nodded again:

"Then where are you going next?"

The soul was silent for a while, looking at the town under the hills in a daze:

"The Tree Father has already left, but the stability of time still needs to be maintained. I have touched the great power of time, and my time is already different from normal souls. Goodbye, God-Caller, we might meet again."

A tree-like green cursor appeared on the forehead of Envy Edwards' soul. As the emerald roots spread to the entire spirit body, his spirit body gradually dissipated into light spots and disappeared in the wind at noon, as if the soul voluntarily chose to leave.

"Where did he go?"

Megan, who came to find Xia De, asked. Xia De watched those light spots scatter toward the town and shook his head gently:

"It's hard to say, maybe it's the end of space-time, maybe it's the other side of time, maybe it's some other place no one knows. In short, he will not appear here again. From now on, there will be no more Envy Edwards."

Megan tilted her head slightly, even she didn't quite understand what Xia De was talking about. Xia De didn't explain either, just watching the wind blow away those light spots until everything returned to calm. ===== CHAPTER 1959 =====
