Chapter 2115: An Unusual Relationship

The atmosphere in the city today was very wrong. When entering the city through St. George's Stone Bridge, Xia De found two teams of police at the city gate, and then saw that the citizens in the city were all nervous.

After getting on the carriage, the coachman answered Xia De's question:

"Late last night, many people heard strange sounds coming from the pier. That storm last night was really fierce; even in winter, Moon Bay had never had such weather... Some people said they heard a dragon roar last night, and the legend that Moon Bay City would be destroyed was about to begin. Although the newspaper explained that an abnormal thunderstorm appeared last night, no one would think that what the newspaper said must be true, right?"

The reappearance of the giant dragon and the legend that Moon Bay City would inevitably be destroyed had been circulating in the Moon Bay area for I don't know how many years. Everyone living here grew up listening to similar stories and rumors. Therefore, when a "dragon" really might have appeared locally, what people thought of first was not to question "does the dragon really exist," but to think about whether they should leave here early.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, moving for such a reason is a behavior that is difficult to understand, but the panic of the locals who have lived here for generations about that prophecy is not something outsiders can understand.

The coachman himself slept very late last night and also heard that strange dragon roar, but when asked by Xia De if he would take his family away from the local area, he smiled and said to the young Outsider:

"Moving? Where can we move to? You need money to move; if you have no money, even if you die, you can only die here. Outsiders always say that Moon Bay City is very rich, but not everyone here is very rich."

He shook the bell to remind passing pedestrians to be careful:

"Outsiders often say that even being a beggar in Moon Bay is better than begging for money elsewhere. But a beggar is a beggar no matter where, and a poor person is a poor person no matter where; there is actually no difference."

Although Xia De had informed Miss Beilian De that he would come this morning before saying goodbye to her in the form of a cat last night, when he saw Miss Matilda, the young maid apprentice, waiting for him at the entrance of Beilian De Manor with a team of maids looking around, she still looked at him walking off the carriage incredibly, even forgetting to order the maids behind her to pay the fare for him.

"Am I very strange now?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the head maid immediately shook her head, then went to look at Xia De's ears, and even looked behind Xia De, revealing an expression of surprise or disappointment.

So Xia De probably knew what she was thinking.

When he saw the countess in the study, she stood up almost immediately upon hearing the door open and seeing Xia De walk in:

"You actually really changed back! Sorry, I lost my composure, just now... I didn't expect you to really be okay."

Saying this, she walked quickly toward him, so Xia De smiled and reached out his hand to ask:

"I left here last night saying I was going to seek help, I didn't lie to you. Do you want to check?"

"Of course."

The witch nodded, and then really pulled Xia De's clothes and started pinching Xia De's arm. Xia De didn't mind at all, he continued:

"I have an elf friend, she gave me an elf secret potion used by ancient elves, which is specifically used to reverse transformation arts that cannot be restored."

"I noticed you used the female pronoun, the girls around you are really not few."

Bella Beilian De said, and Xia De asked with concern:

"I'm fine now, so how did you sleep last night? After staying with me at sea for so long, are you okay after coming back?"

The witch looked up and happened to meet his eyes. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then the blonde countess looked at him and said softly:

"I'm fine, I slept very well."

Although the conversation between the two was normal, Miss Matilda, who was watching this scene, understood very well that their relationship had begun to become unusual.

Miss Beilian De rested as usual last night, but her followers did not stop collecting information. Although the great battle at the pier last night ended with the "silver dragon" defeating the evil object projection, the search operation launched by the church throughout the city continued until dawn.

The pier and ship losses caused by the great battle last night have not been counted yet, and the list of missing persons near the pier is still being compiled. But compared to the earth-shattering scale of the battle last night, the losses on land were not large. The problem now is that the church still hasn't figured out what the cultists and the "silver dragon" who appeared one after another were doing last night.

"The church calls that dragon 'Moonlight Dragon', this is a new dragon species that has been named. If there are no accidents next, it should be recognized by the three major colleges within a month or two."

After mutual greetings, she pulled Xia De's sleeve and sat on the sofa. After Xia De sat down, he leaned forward to check the newspapers on the coffee table:

"Moonlight Dragon... actually you know, this is transformation art, this kind of dragon doesn't exist at all."

"But the church doesn't know. Also, although I have heard that transformation masters can turn into unicorns, phoenixes, and other magical animals, the dragon you turned into last night, isn't it a bit too powerful?"

She looked at Xia De beside her, and Xia De knew she was going to start asking about his doubts:

"I feel that even if the Speaker was in Moon Bay last night, he might not be able to beat that Moonlight Dragon. That dragon is really beautiful, riding it to fly under the moonlight is more romantic than imagined."

The maid looked at her master making a move, and the young Outsider nodded in response:

"You can understand it as, the thing that both I and the cultists were looking for last night prompted me to turn into a dragon, but that was a one-time thing. No, it doesn't mean I can't change anymore, it's just that even if I turn into a dragon again, I don't have the power I had last night. And now I don't dare to change anymore, worried that I won't be able to change back again. That form is indeed very powerful, but I prefer to keep the human posture."

At that time, Xia De was in a state of "divinity overflow," which could be called the strongest mortal object. Not to mention the 13th-ring Time Witch who is still only a 13th-ring, even the Time Witch in the doomsday would probably not be his opponent at that time.

"This is for you."

Xia De took out the photo of Xia De the dragon from his pocket again. Dorothy took more than one photo last night:

"This is the photo taken before I restored, if you are interested in that dragon, you can study it. To tell you the truth, I don't know why my transformation art turned into this kind of dragon... I thought it would be a red dragon."

After all, he himself had the "power of the red dragon" and was most familiar with Fiona, who had the royal bloodline of the red dragon.

"I don't know if you have read 'Principles of Transformation Art', the effect of transformation art is not only affected by the imitation object, but also by one's own power. The cat you turned into is a silver cat, and the dragon you turned into is naturally a silver dragon, this is very reasonable."

Miss Beilian De looked at the dragon flying over a strange forest in the photo, her fingertips gently brushing over the dragon's wings, and then noticed that there was no snow in the background of the photo, and even the forest itself had no snow:

"It wasn't taken locally..."

Her eyes went to observe the astrology in the starry sky in the background, but found that the astrology was even stranger.

She looked up at her maid, and Miss Matilda nodded:

"Miss, shall we go prepare breakfast now?"

"Yes, we will go to the dining room in five minutes."

Xia De promised to come here for breakfast yesterday, so the blonde witch was waiting for Xia De to eat together. Xia De naturally remembered this matter. The reason why he had breakfast at home was because Emilia was staying overnight at 6 St. Theresa Square for the first time, and if he, the master of the house, was not there during breakfast, it would seem very impolite. Therefore, this second breakfast must be eaten, and Little Mia, held by Xia De, looked very happy at this time.

Miss Matilda soon took the other maids out of the study and closed the door. The witch put the photo into her pocket and then asked Xia De:

"You know what I want to ask, and I don't want to go around in circles to probe those things... are you the God-Caller?"

Bright golden eyes looked at him. Although he knew she would ask, Xia De didn't expect it to be so direct:

"What answer did your divination give?"

"For you, I've gotten used to not using divination."

Beautiful golden eyes carried some melancholy:

"You seem to be shrouded in a fog, clearly right in front of me, but no matter how I reach out, I can't catch you. My question doesn't need to be answered now, I know you can't fully trust me yet, but I also have my own answer. I just want to confirm, so far, which of the things you told me are not true?"

This question was asked very skillfully. If she asked "which ones are true," it would seem like she was questioning Xia De. And her way of asking made Xia De feel guilty instead.

【Then, are you going to tell her?】

"She" asked with a smile in Xia De's ear, and the witch in front of Xia De had already made an expression of "I don't care, because I'm not stupid."

Xia De thought for a moment:

"The sword I held last night was indeed the angel-level relic 【Night Watcher】."

"You just told me like that?"

The vermilion birthmark between her eyebrows seemed to jump with the change of the beautiful countess's expression. Xia De looked at her:

"You jumped into the sea to save me regardless of danger last night, and you have already guessed it, why should I still hide it from you?"

The countess was not used to looking at him, feeling that she was blushing:

"So, do they kno..."

"I am not from Randal Valley, and my relationship with Miss Benanise and Xiris is not a simple follower relationship."

"I knew it, you definitely have an unusual relationship with them."

She hummed lightly, her expression more relaxed. She didn't continue to ask about the identity of "God-Caller" and the things of the past year. She knew that with the current relationship between the two, knowing this at this time was just right:

"Then, are you really only a seventh ring?"

"Of course, haven't you seen my life ring?"

Xia De raised his hand, and the heat carried by the steam mist caused a temperature difference in the room. The temperature difference formed a wind, and the witch's golden hair swayed backward. She looked up at the huge, abnormal life ring floating behind Xia De:

"Hasn't anyone ever said that yours is particularly big?"

This sentence was a bit strange, but Xia De didn't care:

"At least Miss Benanise and Miss Sylvia have said so, but the size of the life ring itself does not represent combat power. Except for a few people who show off by summoning it to block bullets, the life ring does not join the battle too much. So although compared to others, my life ring is indeed a bit too big, but that may be because the method I used when I promoted each time was different from others." ===== CHAPTER 2116 =====
