Chapter 2082

"The black-haired maid is Monica, she is the one with the longest legs in the Royal Maid Corps... and she is also the best at divination. I remember she has a strange relic in her hand - 【Alien Painting Divination Card】. The meaning of 'Alien Painting' is an unusual card face. The relic itself is a divination card with the emblem of the ancient god - Mr. Ring. Once this card is added to the divination card deck, the number of cards remains 108, but there is a probability of drawing card faces that do not belong to the regular divination card series during divination, so as to highlight a clearer fate."

Miss Theresa explained to Xia De on the side, but Xia De was not unaware of this relic. Because in 1854 of the Sixth Era, the owner of the 【Alien Painting Divination Card】 was the great witch of fate, Miss Bella Belindell.

"Huh? What card face is this?"

The phantom Miss Maxim was puzzled, and Monica, the owner of the divination card, her friend, asked with a smile:

"Isn't this the card you drew yourself? This is your fate, you should try to interpret it yourself. Vane, what do you think this means?"

Looking at the picture of a dragon entwining a ship, the phantom Miss Maxim pursed her lips. So she turned to look at Xia De and Miss Theresa, and the latter understood:

"Vane didn't interpret the meaning of this divination card in the real past. After the shipwreck, she realized that maybe that card told her about the disaster of this trip from the beginning, so she feels regret now, regretting that she didn't realize the danger at the time."

"Yes, and this is also a hint for us. It's really interesting. I thought the sinking of the Radiant Messenger in the Fifth Era was related to dragons because of my timeline, but I couldn't find evidence. Now it seems that the shipwreck is indeed related to dragons, but the clues you mentioned just now don't seem to mention dragons at all."

Xia De looked at the god, and the god in the shape of a child was still watching them with a smile.

"Could it be that the things stolen from the first-class cabin on the night of the shipwreck were related to dragons?"

Miss Theresa used her imagination:

"For example, it was a dragon egg, and the dragon whose dragon egg was stolen destroyed the Radiant Messenger in a rage... But neither we nor Professor Evans heard the dragon roar."

The smile of the god in the shape of a child became even brighter:

"Give you a little hint, this guess is partially accurate."

"What?"

Miss Theresa was surprised. After looking up at the god, she covered her eyes and lowered her head in pain. Xia De took a breath, reached out and touched the little Mia's head in front of his chest, and had already guessed in his heart.

Of course, now it was still about solving the fishing matter:

"The meaning of that alien divination card is: a ship that has entanglements with dragons will encounter disaster."

"Isn't it 'the reason for the ship's destruction is because of the dragon'?"

Miss Theresa asked with tears in her eyes, and Xia De shook his head:

"Look, there are no cracks on the ship entwined by the dragon on the card face. This doesn't look like the dragon destroyed the ship, but more like the dragon and the ship are entangled together..."

He frowned and turned to look at the ordinary girl Miss Malone who was "sleeping" by the campfire in the center of the floating board. Thinking of the Eletheris Miss he met, who was black-haired and blue-eyed, while the "sweetheart" she described was golden-haired and blue-eyed, plus she herself...

So Xia De turned to look at the god again, thought for a while, and asked softly:

"You are also a god who protects children, right?"

"Of course, don't mortals call me 【Creator of Innocence】 and 【Fairy Tale Poet】?"

Xia De understood completely, but it seemed that this matter could not be solved this time. It seemed that he had to wait until the third time.

On the other side, the phantom Miss Maxim got the answer and nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, it must be like this. Dragon and ship entangled... then where will that dragon appear on the ship? I don't know if it's a dragon-born witch, or a pure-blooded dragon that can transform into a human."

After finishing, she encouraged:

"Go and try again, you are just missing the last bit of luck."

"Do you understand?"

Her phantom disappeared, and Xia De asked Miss Theresa again. The latter blinked blankly after hearing the question:

"What? Oh, she means, our fishing will have results."

"No, that's not what I asked. But it doesn't matter, don't mind, let's continue."

The fishing hook was cast into the water for the fourth time, and dozens of seconds later, the force fed back from the water almost dragged Xia De directly into the water.

For the same person, as the number of fishing times increases, the struggling force in the water will become greater and greater. This time, the force at the other end of the fishing line was obviously greater than any time so far.

Even if Xia De turned on "Red Dragon Power," because it was not easy to borrow force on the wet metal floating board, he staggered and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, there was Miss Theresa beside him. The young witch hugged him from behind, grabbed his hands with both hands, and resisted the force at the other end of the fishing line together with him.

Although it might not be appropriate to say this now, Xia De did feel the back... Ajelina always lamented that her figure was not as good as her sister and aunt. If she became a witch apprentice, she might still be able to grow.

Little Mia felt very uncomfortable staying on Xia De's chest while Xia De's hands were exerting force, so while the fishing rod was wrestling on both sides, it also meowed as if cheering for Xia De. In the sound of the cat, Xia De and Miss Theresa gradually gained the upper hand, and finally achieved victory with difficulty.

And as the fishing line was pulled back bit by bit, the one dragged to the side of the floating board this time was the body of the black-haired maid who was soaked all over. Her face was pale, but there was still breathing in her chest; her body was cold, but death still couldn't take her away.

Xia De clearly felt the girl behind him breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what the situation of others was, Miss Vane Maxim's body being "fished" proved at least that her memory had not been tampered with, and the maid lady was also a real living person.

So the two of them worked together to fish the maid out of the water. Xia De let Miss Theresa hold the body and return to the campfire, while he asked for the ring given by Professor Evans from the god:

"There is not much time left this time."

He said:

"Next time will be the last time I come here, I can't leave too many tasks for the last time. I will try my best to complete the fishing for Professor Evans before leaving. Comforting Miss Maxim will be left to you. You will definitely be fine, I will say hello to you even if I leave."

The young blonde girl heard trust in these words. She nodded solemnly, overcame the fear in her heart, and returned to the campfire in the center of the floating board while half-kneeling and half-crawling.

Xia De touched the furry little cat head on his chest again, and pressed it back into his clothes. He picked up the fishing hook and planned to thread it through the ring and tie it up, so the god spoke again:

"Looking at your expression just now, it seems you already have your own guess?"

"Yes, but just like just now, there is no evidence. I plan to put Miss Malone last. I have roughly guessed her identity. Her memory might show some unusual news related to the sinking of this ship."

The god in the shape of a child looked at him:

"Then do you understand what a wish really is?"

"Making up for regrets in the past, present, and future. Greedy wishes will bring disaster to oneself, and cautious and humble wishes will be blessed. Although I haven't learned your specific teachings, the meaning should be about the same."

Xia De said, pulled the ring to confirm it was tied tightly, and prepared to cast the rod:

"Of course, the reason you appeared here shouldn't be to teach me the meaning of wishes."

"Then what is it for?"

The god in the shape of a child asked with a smile again, sitting on the edge of the floating board, and He was still incomparably clear in the darkness. Xia De suddenly understood that this strange floating board and the fire did not possess any power. The group of people could survive here just because the god was here.

At this time, the fishing hook had been thrown far away by Xia De into the pitch-black sea surface that kept rising and falling, and the feedback force had also appeared:

"Although there is no evidence, you are here to save a child, right? She didn't want to die, she got your response, so you found me."

In the god's smile, the fishing hook tied with the ring had already caught the first item.

This time it was not a strange item like a severed hand, nor was it an item like a thesis that fit Professor Evans's identity. What was pierced by the fishing hook was a quite beautiful colorful feather.

"This child's childhood dream is very interesting."

The god commented, flicked it gently, and as the faint light emerged, the short girl with a ponytail appeared in front of Xia De. She looked like she was only ten years old, and her face looked nothing like her current appearance. At this time, the phantom in her hand also held a colorful feather, and she was looking up.

In fact, since Xia De came here, he had been resisting looking at the sky, because the pitch-black lightless sky could trigger inexplicable fear just by staring at it. But this time he had to look up, and then saw the phantom bird with colorful feathers flying over the floating board.

"This is... a young Rainbow Bird?"

Xia De's eyes widened. This strange creature is an extremely rare bird. Its rarity in the Sixth Era is far higher than dragons and unicorns. Compared with Rainbow Birds, alien species like vampires are simply stones that are everywhere. Rainbow Birds are named not only for their hair color, but also because this kind of bird is really born in a rainbow.

After a maturity period of about 130 years, the volume of an adult Rainbow Bird is quite huge, but when it spreads its wings, it must bring sunny days and rainbows, and can bring good luck to people who see it. Therefore, Rainbow Bird feathers are the best material for making accessories like "blessing" and "luck." Xia De also looked at their information carefully when looking for items that bring luck.
