Chapter 2114: A Morning for Four
"Then can you turn into a dragon again now?"
Luvia asked again. Xia De, sitting on the edge of the bed, stood up and hugged her, and Dorothy also walked over to stand beside them.
"Turning into a cat is no problem, and now I can even carry relics while transforming."
As he said this, he turned into a ball of silver light, and then a silver cat jumped out of the ball of light and onto the bed. After bouncing twice, Xia De, who had turned back into human form, sat on the edge of the bed:
"As for turning into a dragon... the transformation art itself is in a usable state, and I could even use it now if I weren't afraid of damaging the house. But it's still the same problem; I'm worried that once I turn into a dragon, I won't be able to change back again. So before I figure out the situation, I don't plan to try. I can't consume a 【Leaf of Eternal Youth】 every time, right?"
He assured the girls in nightgowns in front of him:
"I have time this week to go to Mibao to test my bloodline, and by the way, consult Grace and Helen; they should be able to give me advice. And before solving this problem, I won't use this miracle easily. I also cherish my body very much. I know there are many people in this world who care about me, and even for your sake, I won't hurt myself casually."
He looked at the purple and green eyes in front of him, and seeing that they were still worried, he mentioned another topic:
"I found that your attention and the attention of the Orthodox Church in the Moon Bay Diocese have all been placed on the 'dragon'. The Five Gods Church in the Moon Bay Diocese will probably also investigate using that silver dragon as a clue. I hope they don't arrange other bizarre background settings for the 'God-Caller' again. But compared to the power I can't control, the real harvest tonight is actually that I finally learned that time miracle."
"That miracle that requires you to experience the power of the return of the sun, moon, and stars?"
Luvia asked, and Xia De nodded with a smile.
Compared to "Adele's Principle of Reversibility," he really didn't care about the new transformation art at all. And speaking of that brand-new miracle, the Outsider couldn't help but reveal a smile:
"I haven't fully learned it, at least I can't use it like its creator. But as long as I have a long sword in my hand, I can deflect or parry energy-based attacks while my feet are off the ground. Using 【Night Watcher】 is the safest; after all, that sword is the sturdiest."
As he said this, he spun around in place, and very rarely used a somewhat smug tone:
"You didn't see the scene tonight. I stood on the bow of the ship facing the storm and the enemy, jumped into the sky to return the attack at the moment my state reached its peak, and then leaped toward the clouds to draw down heavenly thunder, throwing that thunderbolt toward the sea surface."
【So, you can't wait to show it to Adele Isabella, right?】
"She" asked with a smile. Xia De almost nodded in agreement, but fortunately, he restrained himself with reserve and pretended not to hear this question in his heart.
Seeing him like a child who had just received a new toy, the girls in nightgowns felt slightly relieved:
"One last question, Xia De, are you sure you're really okay?"
"Yes, very sure."
So Luvia placed the dragon photo on the table, pointed at it, and the gas lamp on the wall extinguished instantly, while the bedside wall lamp that had been turned off lit up instead.
Dorothy pouted slightly at Xia De and said:
"Since you're okay, then we can talk about other problems—"
There was full laughter in her green eyes:
"You wandering cat, why did you let Bella Beilian De ride you?"
"Because... sorry, what?"
Xia De widened his eyes, quite surprised by the speed of the topic change and Dorothy's way of putting it:
"Wait a minute, Dorothy, this way of putting it is too strange, right? You are a professional writer, you can't use such vague expressions. I didn't let Miss Beilian De do that... I just let her sit on my back and then carried her to fly... this doesn't count... it shouldn't count."
He couldn't go on halfway through.
The purple-eyed girl also said with "dissatisfaction" at this moment:
"It's very romantic, isn't it? That countess didn't leave you even when she encountered danger, insisting on waiting for you to return in such a dangerous place, so when you escaped, you gave up your dignity and let her become a dragon knight, carrying her to fly toward the sea under the moonlight."
"Luvia, it's not like that."
He still wanted to explain, but was pushed down on the bed by the two girls without ceremony. They were both standing on one leg, Luvia kneeling on the bed with her left knee, Dorothy kneeling on the bed with her right knee, both leaning forward, their mouths whispering softly in Xia De's ears together:
"The female knight tonight isn't just her."
In short, after this night, when the sun rose on Monday morning, Xia De at least confirmed that Luvia and Dorothy both believed his body was fine.
The master of the house and the mistress spent a pleasant night in the master bedroom, while in the guest room where Xia De had slept for several months, Emilia, who was staying overnight in this house for the first time, didn't sleep very well that night, at least not at first. After the lights went out, she saw the cat quickly curl into a cat ball and fall asleep in the cat bed beside the pillow, while she hid her arms in the quilt, her hands exposed, clutching the quilt and recalling the fright she received tonight.
Then she pricked up her ears, wanting to capture some unusual sounds, but unfortunately, the silence spell Dorothy used was very effective, and she couldn't hear anything. Also because various complex thoughts flowed back and forth in her mind, when Emilia fell into a coma at some point, terrifying black ghost shadows and some rosy unspeakable things appeared alternately in her dreams.
But perhaps the bed was too comfortable, and soon the terrifying dreams disappeared completely. The girl's thoughts made the young elf dream of... things that even at the dormitory talk sessions of the academy, the young elf girls didn't dare to talk about loudly.
Therefore, when she woke up in the comfortable and soft bed on Monday morning, looking at the faint light shining into the room through the curtain gap, looking at the bedroom that was not very large but very warm and had a home atmosphere, she was reluctant to leave here at first, and her second reaction was to recall the details of the dream, and then she hid half of her face in the quilt with a blushing face.
Little Mia was long gone, but there were voices outside the bedroom. When Emilia came to the living room in slippers, she found that everyone except her had already gotten up.
Xia De was choosing clothes to go out in a moment with Luvia's help, looking like he would go out after breakfast. Dorothy was wearing an apron and making breakfast in the kitchen. This scene was very consistent with Emilia's imagination of a "warm home."
Xia De also saw Emilia walking out of the room with sleepy eyes and greeted her with a smile:
"Good morning, how did you sleep last night?"
"Not bad."
Because of last night's dream, the blonde elf didn't know how to face Xia De, so she just answered softly and nodded. Luvia noticed that she was a bit strange, but thinking that the silence spell last night was cast twice, she didn't think too much.
"Meow~"
Little Mia was standing on the dining table waiting for breakfast at this time. After breakfast, it would go out with Xia De. It hadn't forgotten the great adventure of Xia De the cat and it last night, so it was still looking forward to when Xia De would turn back into a cat.
Dorothy's breakfast skills were still quite good, and the family sat at the dining table to enjoy the peaceful morning. Emilia's eyes looked at the newspaper at hand, but she heard Xia De say to her:
"I'm going out for a trip, the friend who helped me last night doesn't know I'm safe yet. Emilia, follow Luvia and Dorothy today, they will take you to check the room you rented first. I should be back at noon, and then we will meet up. Don't worry, we can solve usual troubles. Don't underestimate our team, the things we have encountered in this city are not just finding relics or chasing bad guys."
Emilia nodded obediently, and Dorothy, who was in high spirits, also saw that her emotions were a bit wrong, so she asked with a smile:
"Emilia, I remember you are not an adult yet?"
"Yes, there are still three years until the standard age for elf adulthood... actually, these are all old rules, and now elves are much more mature than before."
She used the fork in her hand to stab the fried egg on the plate, talking while looking at Xia De again. Luvia also knew the reason why Dorothy asked this:
"Xia De has a very magical relic that can get children a gift every week. Do you want to try it?"
For elves, what kind of age can be called a "child," Xia De, Luvia, and Dorothy didn't know, but this didn't prevent them from trying.
Emilia had of course never seen 【God's Gift Box】, so even after breakfast, when Xia De brought the relic in front of her, she only thought it was a document-level or poet-level relic.
People seem to have a strong curiosity about the act of "lottery," and elves are no exception. She carefully put her hand into the box, grabbed two handfuls at the bottom of the box, and then said in surprise:
"I touched something!"
Just now after the box was opened, they all saw it was empty inside.
Of course, although 【God's Gift Box】 also recognized Emilia as a "child," she didn't become very lucky because of this. Finally, what was taken out of the box was just an ordinary scarf. The yellow scarf was embroidered with a series of cat patterns, and the elf girl liked it very much:
"I got a task, I need to try to match different clothes by myself within this week, and go out wearing different clothes for at least three days."
The task was still simple, and that Toy God would never make things difficult for children.
So after breakfast, Xia De went to Moon Bay with Little Mia as planned, and the three girls tried to find the problem with Emilia in the city. After agreeing to meet at home at noon, Xia De carried the cat into the basement. After walking out of the dragon nest cave outside Moon Bay City, he saw that it was still snowing lightly in the sky. ===== CHAPTER 2115 =====
