Chapter 2083: Temporary Farewell

Even in the Fifth Era, Rainbow Birds were quite rare. To put it bluntly, even in the private zoos of the Witch Emperors, Rainbow Birds were definitely the most precious kind of pets.

"Is Professor Evans' family background too powerful?"

At this moment, the young girl phantom was holding the feather, looking at the bird flying around with an expression of wanting to cry. Xia De also saw that she probably accidentally let the Rainbow Bird fly out of the cage:

"Are the regrets of Witches when they were young so interesting and warm? Miss Theresa missed the marble game she couldn't win, Miss Maxim wanted a fairy tale book, and Professor Evans was the bird she accidentally released... How were the extravagant and licentious personalities of those Witch Emperors cultivated?"

In other words, this time Xia De had to catch that bird flying around. It was just that he couldn't fly normally here, and didn't dare to leave the floating board easily. So he tried to throw two moonlight rings at the sky. The moonlight was compressed in the dark sea area, so its flight speed also became much slower.

The little bird in the air flexibly dodged the light ring, chirping and calling above Xia De's head. Even if Xia De didn't understand bird language, he could hear that he seemed to be mocked. Then the Great Sin Chain also flew into the high sky. This time, the pitch-black chain successfully touched the bird, but the chain was immediately broken free by the Rainbow Bird.

This showed on one hand that although the other party looked petite, it definitely possessed powerful strength. On the other hand, it also showed that the young bird could even be said to have no sin at all.

"This is going to be troublesome..."

Too much time was consumed asking the ladies about the night of the ship, and at this time, there was less than five minutes left before the 30-minute adventure ended. In a state where he couldn't fly to the high sky, the difficulty of catching a bird was quite large. The best way was of course to use suitable bait to let it fly down by itself. Although Xia De knew that "Rainbow Birds" liked wheat exposed to the scorching sun the most, the problem was that although he brought many things, he really didn't have this:

"Is it possible that this time, I have to go back and prepare wheat?"

While thinking, the chirping sound of the bird disturbed other existences. The cat that was comfortably hiding in Xia De's chest poked its head out from the buttons again.

Xia De had seen the cat's "fierce" look before. Whenever those pigeons waiting for food on St. Derand Square flew to the windowsill outside the second-floor living room while Little Mia was napping in the sun, the cat that was blocked from the sun would always show such an expression and scare away those pigeons by hitting the glass.

And this time, although there was no glass in front of it, the cat seemed to treat the bird in the sky as those pigeons. After all, apart from the color, there was no difference, they were both small-sized flying objects with two wings and two claws. It immediately issued a threat to the sky with a "meow~" sound, and the bird that was flying around just now seemed to be really scared, falling straight down from the sky.

It seemed to be scared into a coma, but after falling to the floating board, it struggled and squirmed a few times. After being held by the ten-year-old Professor Evans, it shrank in the little girl's arms like a quail and refused to move anymore.

"Sir, your cat is amazing! It's even more amazing than my little bird."

The little girl said to Xia De happily. Xia De looked down at the cat in his chest suspiciously, and Little Mia, who was already satisfied, shrank back into his arms again. Of course, the cat's performance at this moment was not normal, but now was not the time to dwell on this, so Xia De responded with a smile:

"It's always like this. Take good care of your pet in the future, and never let it run away again."

"Yes, I know! Thank you, sir. Next, remember to cast the rod towards that side, I'll be waiting for you underwater!"

She disappeared in front of Xia De while holding the bird. Xia De looked up at the god:

"What is your opinion on my cat?"

After asking, he added a sentence in his heart:

"You don't have to remind me, I know it's Miss Gao De's cat."

"She" in his ear smiled gently.

The child-like god's smile remained unchanged:

"That's really a cat that can make people feel warm. It suits you very well."

"Thank you."

He didn't expect to get an answer from the god anyway. Seeing that there was still some time left, Xia De cast another rod in the direction the girl had just pointed. This was the second cast using the "ring" for fishing, so the force was greater than any previous one, and it was very close to the time when he fished up Miss Maxim.

It was impossible to borrow force on the slippery floating board, and Miss Theresa was not by his side, so Xia De could only struggle with the things in the water himself. Little Mia couldn't help this time, because it was really just a small kitten. The two sides were in a stalemate, and Xia De even kept sliding towards the edge of the floating board because his feet were slipping.

"Fishing isn't just about having great strength."

God pointed out from the side, and some golden light sprinkled on Xia De.

"Even mortals know how to borrow force to fight force, and know how to defeat strength with technique. Try to experience the power that is in a stalemate with you, and use the opponent's power to counter the opponent's power."

What the god said was definitely not the so-called force-exerting technique. The simple truth reached Xia De's ears, and he suddenly understood how to borrow force only through the fishing rod in his hand. Although this didn't form any Qi Shu, Xia De felt that he could fish for whales in the future without any problems.

So this cast was finally successfully pulled up. The item caught by the fishhook this time was an empty goblet. After the god flicked it lightly, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Professor Evans appeared from the faint light. She really asked Xia De that question:

"Do you have Black Flame Ice Wine?"

This was exactly the most difficult "wish" Professor Evans left in his notebook before Xia De left last time. Xia De, who breathed a sigh of relief, took out the bottle of wine prepared by Miss Dannister, and after pouring the wine into the goblet in the phantom girl's hand, she pointed out a more accurate direction and then disappeared.

"Continue next time, God."

Seeing that time was really running out, Xia De didn't try again, but returned the fishing rod to the god. God took back the fishing rod and turned to look at the four ladies by the campfire with Xia De:

"Important people are not just Miss Malone. The fact that they can appear here also represents their respective wishes and cravings. Even if you have guessed the truth here, don't just focus on the most important people. After all, every child's dream and wish are treasures to me."

"I understand."

He respectfully said goodbye to the god, and then walked to the campfire. At this time, Miss Maxim's soul, which had been imprisoned in a false body, had successfully returned to her real body. But the sudden memory that she had died, and the discomfort brought by re-adapting to a living body, made her lean against Miss Theresa instead, her face pale and almost unable to speak.

The other two "comatose" ladies had also awakened at this time, and Miss Theresa saw Xia De walking over, so she understood that he was leaving again.

"Miss Malone, have you remembered anything? What regrets and wishes do you have?"

He asked the "ordinary girl" again, and the latter pursed her lips:

"Wish... I... have no wish."

"Don't you even want to see her again?"

Xia De asked, and the black-haired girl looked up at Xia De, and then covered her chest:

"It's really strange, clearly I should be worried about her, but now, I feel she is right by my side."

Miss Theresa immediately looked around, as if worried that some kind of vengeful spirit would suddenly appear. Then she looked at the campfire and the floating board under her, wondering if these two strange items were what that blue-eyed girl turned into.

Xia De naturally didn't know Miss Theresa's strange thoughts. He just verified his thoughts again, and had a preliminary guess about Miss Malone's regrets and wishes.

He thought he would have to go to Moon Bay in 1854 of the Sixth Era to conduct a final confirmation with Miss Elicetris, but he didn't expect the dazed Miss Malone to speak:

"I want to live, I want freedom, I want... who am I?"

"I understand, I will fulfill your wish."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, only the simplest task of investigating the sinking of the "Light-Bringer" remained. But he could almost be sure that even if he did nothing, he could find the most critical clues in the memories of Professor Evans and "Miss Malone."

White mist had already appeared around Xia De, and the 30-minute adventure had come to an end. He patted his chest lightly, turned the cat that was curled up there into a toy, and then looked at Miss Theresa who was watching him:

"Then see you next time."

"Yes, see you next time."

The blonde girl sat there supporting the maid and said, the firelight flushed her face, but couldn't fully illuminate her heart. Looking up at Xia De standing by the fire, she controlled herself not to show too lost emotions:

"After you leave, leave the things here to me. I will protect everyone, and I will continue to let everyone recall those forgotten clues."

Whether it was because she had companions or had gained some growth, Schultz Theresa no longer showed the panic and tension Xia De saw when he first appeared. Of course, Xia De could still see the anxiety in her eyes, so he hesitated for a while, and at the last moment before leaving, he kissed her forehead lightly:

"See you next time, Miss Theresa."

Then he disappeared completely in this lightless sea area.

Seawater slapped the floating board, and Xia De's disappearance meant that the only light source here was the campfire. The god's figure also hid in the darkness, but He was indeed still there, fishing with a fishing rod. The young Witch touched her forehead, and a very dissatisfied look appeared in her golden eyes:

"Really, I thought it would be on..."

She touched her lips, pursing them and thinking about how to effectively use the last half hour. ===== CHAPTER 2084 =====
