Chapter 1967

Afterword of Volume Six

Volume Six, "The Most Distant Distance," has officially ended. The length of this volume has once again broken previous records. The author admits that some of the content before the final battle in the last part of this volume was indeed a bit too dragged out. The original intention was to let the various forces that appeared and the witches around Xia De show their respective powers and roles, but due to pacing control issues, the final effect appeared somewhat bloated. Therefore, a free side story (5K) has been updated to express apologies.

Coupled with the fact that there was too much to write in this volume—the individual stories of the 21 members of the Edwards family, the conflict between the two countries, Xia De's emotional transformation, and the stories of the new witches—it all added up, causing the content to become so voluminous... But regardless, this volume finally has a relatively complete ending. The story of the Edwards family "uniting as one" was described very fully, the conflict between Deraerion and Casenrick has also been unveiled, and Xia De has also learned important information about the past, present, and future. As an important volume in the middle of the book, as Xia De enters the second half of the middle ring, he finally begins to touch the complete worldview. Especially since he no longer struggles with his own greed, faces his own heart, and understands what he wants.

Thus, the story of Edwards falls, the secrets of Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya are revealed, new collectibles (butterfly cards) appear, the story of the past unfolds further, and the curtain of the end slowly opens.

The theme of the next volume is "Light," or rather, light and hope.

The final scene of the first volume was Xia De and the doctor with their backs to the burning building, Xia De looking back, the doctor looking down, the two walking side by side on the street; the final scene of the second volume was looking from the street of the steam era to the second-floor window, in the mist, Xia De looking into the distance, the doctor watching Xia De; the final scene of the third volume was a rainy morning, Xia De and the doctor with their backs to the camera, holding umbrellas and looking at the tombstone in the rain; the final scene of the fourth volume was under the snowy night sky, Xia De and the doctor standing outside the clock face on top of the clock tower looking at the city in the snow, one holding the railing, one with arms crossed; the final scene of the fifth volume was an early spring morning, Xia De and Doctor Shi Nai De sitting on a bench outside a sunny church, one reading a newspaper, one feeding pigeons; the final scene of the sixth volume was a snowy train station in the early summer morning, the doctor demonstrating "fingertip distance" for Xia De by the platform, while the train engine rushing toward him from behind was like a still object, stopping in the picture while sweeping up snowflakes.

The adventure in Green Lake has temporarily ended. In the next volume, Xia De will enter the coastal area, adventuring in the city of sin piled with wealth and greed, in a region with an exceptionally beautiful name, witnessing the end of a city falling into depravity due to wealth, and touching that ray of light in the darkness.

As usual, new witches will appear in the next volume, and past characters will of course have their own stories. Among the four members of the group, Luweiya revealed more secrets in the previous volume, and the story of the long-haired Luweiya's past will continue to be revealed as the truth of the world is unveiled. The doctor and the priest continue to chase demons and angels, but one of them is also facing new problems. The problems of the princess and the female writer seem to have been revealed, and they have found a solution, but they have to face new difficulties.

In addition, the President of the Witch Council, who was originally scheduled to appear at the end of this volume, will officially meet Xia De at the beginning of the next volume due to scheduling arrangements; the author has not forgotten this.

The adventure of the Black Time Key, whether the mysterious Miss Gao De will appear, the deepening relationship between Xia De and the Witch Council, Yi Lu Na's gradually firm determination, the connection of the ancient witches, and the true secret of the coming end—these stories will continue to be revealed. The story is still exciting, please continue to support it, and the opinions and suggestions of legitimate readers are also welcome.

The story enters the seventh chapter, the story of "Whispering Poetry" (also known as "Detective Knight Legend," "Sword of the Silver Moon") will continue, and after 【Space】, please look forward to the seventh section, 【If You Give Me a Ray of Light】.
