Chapter 1978

"Master... the Witch Council?"

A strange expression immediately appeared on Xia De's face. Looking at Miss Miss Feilian's serious expression, he thought his teacher would also say tasks like "collecting the Vientiane Impermanent Cards." You know, this was the first Old God Xia De encountered in the Fifth Era, given by that "Innocent Creator," a method to obtain salvation even if Xia De headed toward the worst ending.

Even if it had nothing to do with the Vientiane Impermanent Cards, he absolutely wouldn't have expected to hear such a request from Miss Miss Feilian:

"You mean..."

Seeing him want to speak but feeling embarrassed to do so, Miss Miss Feilian nodded:

"It means exactly what you think; use definite relationships to bind them to your side. The witches of the Witch Council will not be affected by hypnosis or control-type powers, so you must help them with your heart; even if you have to spend some thought and means, you must achieve this... The girls of later generations don't seem to be very hostile to you, but when I went to your era to see you, they didn't seem to have taken very good care of you."

Miss Oulannode patted the shoulder of Fiona, who was letting her imagination run wild beside her. While the dragon girl with the big tail lowered her head with a blushing face, the half-elf witch also explained for Xia De:

"You can probably see that the Witch Council has a very special status. Why is it that in the Fifth Era, only the believers of the Old God—Chaos Witch can use supernatural abilities? Why is it that only the believers of this special Old God have retained a relatively complete inheritance system from the First Era to the present?"

The question she asked was one Xia De had also thought about:

"The witches of the Sixth Era told me that the great witches of the Witch Council shoulder an extraordinary mission, which makes them very special. It's just that in our era, only the Speaker knows the specific content."

"Yes, that is the key. The members of the Council have contracts and cannot reveal the specific content at will. I can only tell you, Xia De, mastering the Council, or at least making all the great witches able to unite as one, is very important for the future. The Old Gods... I cannot say much, but this is really important."

The golden-haired demigod reminded him solemnly, and Xia De also kept his teacher's words firmly in his heart.

Even, he thought of the truth about the Witch War of the Fifth Era that he learned through the Tree Father's gift. The two great witches who were determined to end the Fifth Era at that time mentioned sentences like "betrayed the promise" and "forgot the mission" (Chapter 383).

"So how is your relationship with the witches around you now?"

Fiona finally seized the opportunity to speak.

"Of the thirteen seats of the Council, I have already met six of them, and my relationship with them is... quite good. My relationship with two of them is especially good."

Miss Miss Feilian looked at him gently:

"Besides mastering the Council, remember to unite all forces that can be united. Remember, Xia De, my student, when the end of the world arrives, all power born in this world is power that can help civilization and the world survive."

This made Xia De think of "Desire" again; she mentioned more than once that the power of sin is also power... So, that Unknowable-level relic that has existed since the most ancient times probably already knew about the end of the world.

"My student~"

While Xia De was thinking, Miss Miss Feilian raised her hand to touch Xia De's cheek again, her golden eyes looking at him gently:

"We are upstream in the river of time, observing the past, exploring you and the future; you are downstream in the river of time, preparing to meet the world's final challenge, delaying the end that must come. I know the future will become worse, and I know the responsibility you shoulder is a bit too heavy, but please remember, I have been waiting here for your arrival.

When we meet again and again in different space-times, those messages from the past and future will intersect with each other. One day, you will understand everything, and you will also understand what kind of destiny and gift the world has prepared for you."

"Yes, we are all working hard to explore. I am also looking back in my own space-time, looking forward to meeting you again."

"Ahem."

"And Miss Oulannode and Fiona, we will meet again eventually."

The gentle golden-haired great witch nodded, but she didn't move aside, letting her student and her student's student also have a chance to talk to Xia De at close range.

She suddenly winked at Xia De again, and the gentle and elegant expression just now became a bit more playful:

"Then Xia De, answer me, what have you done with the witches of the future?"

"This..."

"Your body is not right; this is something we knew when you asked me for methods to fight against gods in the Forest of a Thousand Trees. Your gender, your power with gods, don't you want to know the truth about these? Tell me, what have you done with the witches of the future? This will help us explore the truth about you."

She looked at Xia De, and Xia De nodded, softly saying what he had done with Miss Galina and the Megan sisters. Although he said it softly, at the Council round table where there were only four people, everyone could hear what he had said.

Miss Miss Feilian frowned slightly, Miss Oulannode looked at him in shock, not expecting that he would really dare to do this. Fiona pursed her lips and looked at Xia De; if it weren't for the fact that there wasn't enough time in the "City of Eternal Night," those weak and incompetent future witches could never have snatched him before her.

"You are absolutely not human."

After thinking for a moment, Miss Miss Feilian said, and then asked him:

"Can you leave some of your blood? If you want to know the secret of your body, this is the most direct method."

"Of course I can, but according to the rules of time travel, can blood be left behind casually?"

Miss Miss Feilian nodded gently:

"So we must use unconventional methods. My student, the era you are in is already different from the era I am in, but do you know what an apprentice should do in this era?"

Saying this, the tall witch used her right hand to lift Xia De's chin, her face leaning forward slightly, looking at him with a smile, while using her nose to gently rub against his nose, and then kissed him gently.

This feeling was different from any other time in the past.

Fiona immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth; she knew that if she dared to make a sound now, she would be forced to stand in punishment for several weeks for stepping into the classroom with her left foot first. Miss Oulannode pursed her lips and watched them from the side, silently counting in her heart.

When she counted to 426, the two separated.

Xia De touched his bitten lip, and the gentle golden-haired demigod witch nodded gently:

"Blood cannot be left behind alone, but if it is consumed as a part of my body, then it no longer belongs to the space-time of the future."

This was actually an inspiration she got from the Ice Demigod Witch—Chloe Marcus Marx. Half a year ago, Fiona had already successfully established a connection with her.

Of course, if it weren't for seeing that they were obviously too engrossed just now, Fiona might have really believed that Miss Miss Feilian was doing occult research.

And the gentle and elegant golden-haired witch, the original founder of the Academy, said to her student again:

"Blaney, you come too. Remember to be careful when taking blood. You have also learned the secret arts of the blood-sucking species; just take the blood, don't digest the power within it."

"Yes, Teacher."

The half-elf Miss Oulannode then came to Xia De's side. As the two looked at each other, they both felt that the bits and pieces of time they spent together in the past, especially the time by the campfire in the ruins of the Gadis Library in the Dead Silence Valley, seemed to have happened yesterday.

"Then, I'll start."

She winked at Xia De, took the initiative to wrap her arms around Xia De's neck, and then followed with a kiss that was just as gentle but even more enthusiastic. Compared to the witches of the Sixth Era, the ladies of the Fifth Era were indeed more bold and enthusiastic.

Of course, Xia De, who was forced to give out a portion of fresh blood again, could still feel the pain. The kiss with the bloody taste was indeed worth savoring.

Miss Oulannode was multitasking, not forgetting to recount while taking blood, and only let go of Xia De when she counted to 427.

Fiona on the side immediately became nervous, her two hands subconsciously grabbing the edge of her skirt as she looked at Miss Miss Feilian, thinking that she would also let her come forward.

But the golden-haired demigod just gently patted the shoulder of her student who was a bit out of composure, letting Miss Oulannode retreat to her side:

"Xia De, the time is up, we have to part again this time."

Fiona was startled, but she had to stand honestly beside the two teachers, wondering in her heart if this was the teachers taking revenge on her for kissing Xia De in front of them when she returned from the City of Eternal Night last time.

Xia De didn't know Fiona's many thoughts, but he also knew that time was indeed running out.

He said solemnly to the three witches:

"Please take care of yourselves too, we will meet again eventually. Miss Miss Feilian, Miss Oulannode, and Fiona, I will think of a way to contact you again as soon as possible."

"Actually, there's no need to be too anxious; you are the result, we are just the cause. Time and destiny are very wonderful; you should understand that too."

The golden-haired witch wearing a purple robe said softly, sighing softly wanting to say goodbye, but then suddenly froze, looking at the two items glowing in the center of the round table:

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing. Xia De, someone else has come to find you."

"What?"

"I mean, thank you for the flowers last time, I like them very much."

She waved goodbye to Xia De, and Fiona also waved hurriedly, feeling very regretful in her heart that before she went to call the two teachers just now, she really hadn't done anything other than kissing. Miss Oulannode was still savoring the kiss just now, and was the last to raise her hand:

"Goodbye, Xia De."

The half-elf lady's eyes looked at him with great spirit.

"Xia De, don't force time; time will bring you everything."

"Goodbye, Xia De! I will also continue to try... I will definitely contact you again!"

The Red Dragon girl was really full of energy.
