"Lousy diviner."

Xia De was shocked by Miss Belindell's evaluation. He instinctively looked around, and then felt that he was probably scared by Miss Adele Isabella's attitude. Even if the long-haired Luweiya calculated everyone in her own era, it was impossible for her to act alone without Luweiya now:

"That diviner is actually very powerful, I will introduce you to each other when I have the chance."

He said vaguely, and had an intuition that once Luweiya met Miss Belindell, she would definitely exert a crushing pressure on her. This was not a guess, but a conclusion he drew based on his understanding of the long-haired Luweiya's personality and Luweiya's methods of doing things.

"Alright, I'm looking forward to it."

The witch didn't know what she was about to face.

"Don't talk about this, let's get back to the point. So, the conditions for the currently known Chosen One of Light can be simply summarized as: possessing two or more types of dragon power."

He summarized, then added;

"Since the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 that holds other fragments is also in Moon Bay, it can be 100% certain by now that the Chosen One of Light must appear in Moon Bay."

"That's how it is."

The great witch of fate didn't continue to dwell on the diviner matter either; she just felt that Xia De's expression just now was quite interesting.

"Then what is that dragon scale?"

Xia De asked again, and the witch said lightly:

"The scale of the ancient god - Radiant Dragon."

"Hmm... ah?"

Xia De looked at her in surprise:

"Didn't you just say..."

"I didn't say this wasn't the scale of an ancient god, but there's no need to be so surprised. Although the name is very grand, this scale is actually just a little more magical. This should not be the scale of the ancient god's main body, but a scale for divine descent. According to family literature records, the ancestors of the seven glorious families of Moon Bay encountered a dragon together, and this scale might be the ancestors' harvest. Now, its function only has two left."

She raised her right index finger:

"First, try to integrate this scale with the human body. It is highly likely that anyone can possess the bloodline of a golden dragon. In other words, it is highly likely to make the user a dragon-born Ringed Shushi. This is the power traced back to the first dragon. For me, who inherited the Belindell bloodline, and those dragon-born Ringed Shushis who have golden dragon bloodlines, it is very useful. The ancestors left this behind, seemingly knowing about the Chosen One ritual... Of course, I don't intend to use this, I am very satisfied with myself."

Then she raised her right middle finger:

"Second, this is the key to opening the space left by the ancient god - 【Holy White Hall】. According to the Council's records, the space left by the ancient god of light is related to the ancient gods."

"【Holy White Hall】?"

Because there were already five doors in the house: 【Space Labyrinth】, 【Dark Dungeon】, 【Soul Graveyard】, 【Secret Keeper's Hall】, and 【Earth Core Furnace】, and Xia De also knew the entry methods for 【Time Corridor】, 【Silver Moon Library】, and 【Inquisitor's Court】, he was extremely concerned about such special spaces.

"Opening such special spaces requires spiritual runes, artifacts, and corresponding spells. Is the artifact this time the ancient dragon scale?"

He thought in his heart, and the witch nodded:

"I don't know if Vanessa has told you, although the thirteen ancient gods in the legend have all left, they all left behind unique spaces. The 【Witch Council】 is one of them. Recently, it is rumored that the 【Space Labyrinth】 discovered by the Megan and Audrey sisters on Green Island is one of them, and the 【Creation Delivery Room】 found by the 【Blood Spirit School】 in the New Continent is also a similar space."

She then let the blonde maid on the side bring the red box, and inside the box was that ancient golden dragon scale:

"You seem very interested in this? Don't you have the power of a red dragon? If you use this, you will meet the basic conditions of the Chosen One. I don't even need divination to guess that you must be very suitable for dragon power. My intuition is very accurate."

As she spoke, she blinked at Xia De, but Xia De refused:

"But why should I meet the conditions of the Chosen One? I'm not interested in this either."

He just didn't want to waste the power within it. If it were left until the real Chosen One or a successor appeared, perhaps he could use this to gain some advantage.

The witch thought for a while:

"Then even if it's not to meet the conditions of the Chosen One, it can also allow you to gain new power, why not try it?"

"No, no, I am also very satisfied with my current situation."

Xia De declined tactfully. He had never thought about changing his race. Moreover, he didn't think the power of a golden dragon was very suitable for him:

"Let's keep this scale for now, it's not yet certain whether the content of the Chosen One ritual is related to dragon scales. However, judging from the current situation, it is almost inevitable that something big will happen in Moon Bay. I don't know when Miss Bernice and Siris will come to Moon Bay. We haven't seen each other for almost a month."

"Do you miss them very much?"

The blonde Countess asked deliberately, but didn't give Xia De a chance to answer:

"Don't forget to attend the card game at the Councilor's Club tomorrow night. Do you need me to prepare formal wear for you? I rarely attend this kind of social activity with men, you have to cooperate a little."

Her original intention was to ask for Xia De's body data to prepare a set of clothes for Xia De, but she didn't expect Xia De to nod directly:

"I have formal wear... many formal wears."

He took Miss Belindell's mention of this matter as a hint to leave, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye:

"Then we will see you tomorrow night."

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven't told you about my progress in investigating the 【Light-Seeking Seminar】 yet. They dared to hurt me, I will definitely retaliate."

She let Xia De sit down again, holding her face and looking at the man who felt embarrassed because he misunderstood the meaning, feeling that such a night was really interesting.

When Xia De returned home, it was already 7:30 in the evening. As for Miss Belindell letting him come back, it was naturally because the meeting of the Witch Council was about to begin.

And when Xia De appeared from the living room on the first floor, he immediately realized that there were still people at home. He went upstairs and saw the maids who were cleaning, making tea, and preparing late-night snacks in the cozy home illuminated by gas lamps. The cat that had gone downstairs to greet Xia De jumped happily from his arms onto the dining table, looking very expectant.

"Good evening, Tifa."

Xia De said with a smile:

"When did you arrive? Where is Miss Galina?"

"She went to the Council to attend a meeting. We came an hour ago. Miss originally wanted to invite you to have dinner together."

The maid with a great figure said, blinking at Xia De:

"Miss is a little angry, but please rest assured, she is not angry with you."

She stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Xia De's lips, and the other maids just pretended not to see it.

Just as Tifa said, at 9:30 in the evening, the Duchess who returned from the Council saw Xia De for the first time, reached out to hug him, and complained:

"Belindell is too much. It's fine during the day, but how can she keep you for dinner at night?"

"How do you know I was kept by her, and not because of other things?"

Xia De asked curiously, hugging the lady in his arms and kissing her forehead. The Duchess, who had just shown an angry expression, immediately smiled again:

"If it were other things, you would definitely go home to feed the cat first. Don't I know you? Even if you don't eat, you won't forget about the cat."

"It's my fault this time. Haven't you had dinner yet? Tifa and the others have already prepared it. Let's eat together after washing our hands."

"Meow!"

The cat had been waiting for a long time.

"Will you accompany me to eat?"

Golden eyes looked at him, and Xia De, for some reason, thought of Miss Belindell's eyes from a few hours ago.

"Of course."

Although he had already eaten two dinners, this third one could not be declined no matter what.

Miss Galina's mood became even better. When sitting at the dining table, she also told Xia De the content of the meeting just now. Of course, she didn't forget to convey Xia De's request for help to Miss Bernice. However, it was so late today that even if Siris got the news from Miss Bernice, she would need time to think and prepare a solution, so Xia De would have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest to know the result.

As for that beautiful Duchess, since she came here tonight, she naturally didn't intend to return to the manor outside the city. After all, the night road was dangerous, so she could only ask the kind knight to take them in for the night. And Xia De's house was just big enough to let the maids sleep downstairs, but the Duchess couldn't rest with the maids, so she was forced to share the same bedroom with the generous and enthusiastic owner of the house:

"I heard from Princess Lei Qianya that your cat can do a backflip?"

She said with a smile, wearing a nightgown. Between the nightgown and the slippers was black silk fabric with great texture.

Of course, Little Mia didn't perform a backflip later; it had long been taken downstairs by Tifa.

(Yin Luna is praying...)

Since he was prepared to use the time key, Xia De naturally wouldn't delay again. But the idea of opening the key early Friday morning was hindered by the red-haired lady held in his arms.

As always, the Duchess was not used to getting up at 6:30. Even if Xia De just got up himself, thinking of calling her when eating breakfast at 7:30, he was still pulled back into the quilt by the witch:

"Sleep a little longer."

She said with her eyes closed, lying in Xia De's arms and grabbing his arm, refusing to let go. Xia De wasn't even sure if she was awake. And the maids who got up early to prepare breakfast outside the door could naturally hear the conversation in the room, so they all laughed.

So when Xia De walked out of the bedroom and entered the study to start packing the items he wanted to take to the past time, it was already 7:00 in the morning. Tifa took the maids to wash and dress the Duchess in the bedroom, and Little Mia stood on the dining table looking at the food on the table, meowing and asking Xia De to sit down quickly.

The domestic cat was very polite. No matter how anxious it was, it would never touch the food if Xia De didn't sit down.
