Chapter 2036
As for the witch who dared to appear directly behind her at this moment, it was naturally the accidental 【Dice Story Collection】 that disrupted Xia De's plan to hide his identity. Now that she already knew so many things about him, instead of letting the Great Witch of Fate guess randomly and even cause trouble because of misunderstanding Xia De's identity due to investigation, it was better to appear directly taking advantage of this opportunity.
Moreover, he not only felt that the witch behind him would not return evil for good, but also because he believed that he had initially deterred the other party.
Xia De did not keep playing with the die. After knowing the witch's funny expression at this moment through "her" narration, he put the relic back into his pocket, still supporting the railing with his back to the lady behind him and said:
"Lady, why don't you continue to move forward? I waited for you for so long, you seem to be a bit impolite."
His voice woke the blonde witch from the shock. She stared at his back unconsciously and muttered to herself:
"Man, how is it possible... you are that pervert who... with...?"
"What? Pervert?"
Xia De turned to look at her in surprise, not expecting to get such an evaluation. After all, he knew everything, but he didn't know what was written on that parchment scroll.
And because he canceled the illusion and showed his original appearance, the turning action also made the "Great Witch of Fate" Bella Belindell see his face for the first time.
"Sure enough, it's a man. Wait, how... so good-looking?"
The surprise originally in her heart disappeared for some reason while seeing that face. Even, that stunning look back against the sunset actually made her feel her heartbeat speed up:
"Worthy of being Charm 96... No, no."
Not understanding what kind of reaction this was in her heart, she threw away the feeling that her heart even stopped beating just now, and tried hard to make herself make a serious expression:
"I mean, who on earth are you?"
Thinking that it was him who saved her just now, and thinking of the special fate he possessed, even though she knew that the person in front of her was a man, her face was still slightly red. Miss Belindell still kept a distance from Xia De, and Xia De looked at her with strange eyes:
"What a strange question. In the afternoon, didn't you play the game very happily? Speaking of which, I was involved in this matter because of you. Why do you want to interrogate me with the tone of treating a criminal now?"
"I..."
The witch thought this was the other party's sarcasm, but also understood that during the "Dice Story Collection," the person in front of her knew everything that happened:
"Who on earth are you, what is your relationship with Vanessa..."
Looking at that face, the throbbing feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. Although she didn't want to use such a serious tone, instead she wanted to invite the other party to have a drink, but in order to maintain the common reputation and interests of the witches, she still suppressed her strange thoughts.
"First of all, I know you must care about this the most."
Xia De reached out his left hand to her. The lady with a lip-red birthmark on her brow hesitated for a moment, then walked up and reached out to hold his wrist, and then looked at her palm incredibly:
"How is it possible?"
She wanted to draw cards, but remembered that this person in front of her seemed to have a special fate talent that interfered with divination. So she looked at him with pursed lips, but didn't know that her expression was exceptionally cute.
Xia De saw that the other party calmed down, so he continued:
"I know you have many doubts, but my relationship with Miss Benis cannot be fake. At the beginning of coming to the Moon Bay area, I heard that 'Lady Amethyst's' divination ability is extraordinary. Let's play a game."
Then he wiped his face, letting the illusion disguise himself again:
"I will ask some questions about myself, Miss Belindell. You will divine the answer. I can give you three chances. If you can divine correctly even once, I can answer all your questions now. If you guess wrong, sorry, please ask Miss Benis yourself."
He shook his head gently:
"This is not to evade your questioning, just to hand over the power of answering to that lady."
The Great Witch of Fate's mouth twitched. The black clouds in the sky in the evening unexpectedly dissipated a bit. A young man with one hand on the railing turning to look at her, bathed in the sky light of the sunset, made her feel exceptionally charming:
"Do you know what you are saying? If your gender and appearance are consistent, such an existence is... for us..."
"Just treat it as the reward for me saving you and helping you, can you?"
Xia De asked, then blinked:
"Saved twice, once for the story collection, once for the arrow just now."
Miss Belindell tried hard to control her face not to turn red. She agreed with the other party's point of view in her heart, but she didn't want to admit defeat at all in her mouth:
"It is indeed me who involved you in the Dice Story Collection, but if you want to blackmail me because of this... hum. But if you really think that I couldn't divine your location and gender just now, and really couldn't divine anything, then it's too naive. Vanessa and I, at least a month ago, were of the same level."
She took another step forward, secretly glancing at Xia De, thinking about the information she learned about him on the top of the tower just now, and stood with Xia De in front of the railing along the river:
"Sir!"
She re-read this word. Looking at Xia De at close range also let Xia De look at her at close range. The lip-red birthmark on her forehead made her very effectively distinguished from other witches. The mark on her white skin was not a flaw at all. According to the language of the foreigner's hometown, that birthmark had a beauty like the finishing touch.
"Looking at the fact that we cooperated well in the afternoon, and you also helped me solve a big trouble, tell me, what do you want me to divine?"
Saying that, she glanced at Xia De's wrist again, quite wanting to try again.
"The first question, where is my hometown?"
Xia De asked, turning to look at the cruise ship on the Taton River. The witch hummed:
"Since you ask like this, it definitely isn't Randell Valley."
She took out her special deck that added the relic 【Strange Painting Divination Card】 and rinsed it simply. This time she chose the one at the bottom. But after flipping open the card face, what she saw in the sunset was a blank space.
"It seems you do have some skills. I give up on the first question, the second one."
Joyful that the other party's fate was indeed unique, she didn't dwell on it, and was very open-minded about divination failure.
So Xia De asked curiously again:
"The second question, what power am I best at?"
Miss Belindell drew cards again, this time seeing an orange cat squatting on the card face. Regular divination cards of course didn't have such a card face, so it was the relic playing a role again.
The witch who originally thought it was "time" opened her mouth without thinking:
"Cat."
After speaking, she realized what she said, and the young man standing in front of her really laughed. She tried hard to bite the inside of her mouth to keep herself from blushing.
"Sorry, although I keep a pet cat, that is not my power. Answer wrong. The last question, and the last chance. This one can be simpler: besides the follower relationship that doesn't need to be answered, what other relationship do I have with Miss Benis?"
For witches who couldn't have descendants, the most intimate relationship besides "apprentice and teacher" was only "lover relationship." She almost blurted out this answer, but this witch who was relatively traditional in thinking didn't believe that the Witch of Earth who called herself "celibate" dared to do this:
"So, are you Vanessa's relative? Or, a distant relative of Miss Lasers? Do they have Delarian relatives?"
She carefully looked at the face of the young man in front of her, pursing her lips to make herself serious, but felt that the more she looked at this face, the more satisfied she was. But the identity of the witch reminded her of the things she had to do. She knew she couldn't lose face.
So she tried to match this face with the appearance of the two troupe leaders of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe. This time she didn't use divination cards again, but turned to gesture to the maids beside the carriage. Soon, the maid brought a crystal ball over.
This action was quite strange on the street, but the Great Witch could ensure that no one around noticed this scene blocked behind the carriage.
The witch's right hand gently brushed over the crystal ball in front of her. The sunset of the dusk made the crystal scatter even stranger light. And in the eyes of Miss Bella Belindell, the white thick fog rotating inside the crystal ball gradually dissipated, and then revealed an abnormally blurred scene of a woman dancing on the stage. Because it was too blurred, she could only see the lady dancing shaking her body and shaking her arms. This was not the decent dance she knew.
"What does this mean again?"
Things that couldn't be figured out today seemed to be getting more and more. The frowning witch looked at the scene displayed by the crystal ball for a long time without speaking. Xia De didn't urge her, but continued to look at the scenery of the Taton River with sparkling waves:
"The weather in the evening is really good."
He sighed softly, and then looked at the maid who was holding the crystal ball. The maid dress of Carinik and the style of Delarian had slight differences, but they were all black and white. Unlike the black-haired Tifa, the girl in front of him who had the power of a witch had golden hair.
"Are you Miss Belindell's apprentice?"
He asked the maid, and the latter looked at her master, so the witch glared at Xia De:
"Don't talk to my apprentice."
"Lady, you say so, it's like I'm some kind of pest. Why, is there a result?"
The hesitant witch could only guess:
"She is your... dance teacher."
"Sorry, wrong again."
Xia De, who didn't know what the other party saw from the crystal ball, shook his head regretfully while feeling relieved in his heart:
"So about who I am, please ask Miss Benis. Or, you can try to force me to answer your question now. Your level just said, so it means you must be stronger than me, I am sure of this."
"I don't have that kind of despicable, you helped me and saved me, I won't be that kind of person."
The witch looked at him and said, actually not very sure that she could definitely win over the man in front of her. She was not good at frontal combat, and the power of prophecy had a very poor effect on him:
"You come with me, I will arrange a place for you to live, and you can only leave after I get the exact news from Vanessa. I guarantee I won't play any tricks."
Saying that, facing the sunset, the beautiful lady reached out to Xia De in front of the railing. The sunset illuminated her arms, illuminated the gold bracelet worn on her right hand, but also covered her slightly red cheeks:
"Man, welcome to Moon Bay City."
Xia De then reached out and held that hand. Miss Belindell's hand was very small, but also very soft. And the witch felt the heat in Xia De's palm. Touching his hand at close range, her extremely keen perception even felt that the soul in front of her was as powerful as the earth itself.
Under the brilliant light of the sunset, listening to the rushing river water under her feet, he who was smiling even seemed to be about to melt into the sun. Miss Belindell couldn't be sure what kind of traces she had captured, but she could be sure, and very clearly—well, although he was a man, he was indeed very charming.
