Chapter 2120: A Temporary

~10 min read 1,935 words

The drawn long sword was not 【Night Watcher】, but that dragon scale sword. As the sword light slashed down, the black light on the stranger Ringed Shushi overflowed like the crows just now, but the next moment it was broken by the sword light like bubbles.

"I thought this involved some huge conspiracy, but after all this, you really just happened to have your eyes on Emilia by bad luck."

Xia De didn't pursue the victory, but led Emilia forward. And the stranger Ringed Shushi wearing a clown mask was already lying on the ground vomiting blood at this time. He watched Xia De and the two getting closer and closer, and then sprinkled a ball of black mist again, turned around and fled toward the distance. Xia De didn't chase him, because not long after, Emilia's two companions, Mr. Rio Enshir and Miss Matila Delage, brought the man who fled back.

The mask on his face was taken off, and Emilia, who was holding Xia De's arm, immediately recognized him:

"It's him, he sold me that metal die on the train!"

"Don't even think about knowing the secrets of the cult!"

Even though he was controlled, the man was still cursing, using very vicious slang to curse everyone present.

"Are you trying to keep us from paying attention to your other companion, the one who released the crows?"

Xia De asked, and then heard footsteps again. Luvia and Miss Salina Muris, along with two Ringed Shushi Xia De didn't know, brought back another Ringed Shushi wearing a black cloak and a mask.

Miss Salina Muris was also from St. Byron's. After graduating as a sixth-year student in 1852, she was assigned to the Tobesk area to manage the academy's business in the local area.

Xia De would certainly not hide the fact that Emilia was targeted by cultists from the academy, no matter how much he wanted to help her. After the academy received the news, it immediately contacted this Miss Muris. In fact, there were more than just these people in this small woods. To ensure the arrest plan was foolproof, besides Xia De, Luvia, and Emilia's two teammates, more than ten reliable Ringed Shushi hired by Miss Muris were all waiting around the small woods.

After catching these two people, everyone conducted a carpet search, but ultimately didn't find the third accomplice. Although they hadn't forced the two cultists to explain the specific situation yet, it seemed that this incident was really because Emilia's luck was bad.

"Mr. Hamilton, thank you for your hard work tonight. Mr. Rio Enshir, Miss Matila Delage, and I will first send these two cultists to the transfer station. The academy will soon take them away. The academy needs to determine how they targeted our students. Also, I have to trouble you and Miss Annette to take care of Miss Siamnode tonight."

After the search ended, Miss Muris said to Xia De. Xia De didn't mind this. It wouldn't be troublesome to let Luvia and Emilia stay at his house tonight. Anyway, his house was big and the bed was comfortable.

And the elf girl, still pulling on Xia De's sleeve, asked Miss Muris:

"Will the academy let us end the summer practical activities early and go back now? We have only been in Tobesk for a week, and the original time was four weeks."

Miss Muris shook her head:

"Sorry, I am not responsible for this aspect. For your specific arrangements, please listen to the official notice from the academy. But Miss Siamnode, before the academy issues an official notice, please do not leave Mr. Hamilton."

That is to say, before the academy decided on the next plan for Emilia and the three, the elf girl had to live in Xia De's house. As for choosing Xia De instead of others, naturally, it was because although the level of Bill Shi Nai De in the five-person group was the highest, due to some reasons that could not be said—that is, except for Xia De, the other four in the group might have problems, so Xia De, who was a student of Miss Danister, was the one the academy was most at ease with.

Of course, because Doctor Shi Nai De temporarily left Tobesk recently to attend an academic conference in a nearby city and would not return until Friday, the academy didn't even need to find a reason to explain why this matter was not arranged for him.

Tonight's operation started fast and ended fast. After saying goodbye to the others, Xia De took Luvia and Emilia through the small village outside the city again. After entering the city and finding a carriage, they set off toward the Three Cats Inn.

This time they had to take all of Emilia's things in the Three Cats Inn and move them into Xia De's house. But Emilia wouldn't live in Xia De's house for too long. St. Byron's didn't have any bureaucracy, and it would take at most two or three days to arrange the next plan for Emilia and the three.

Of course, because this cultist attack was mainly aimed at Emilia, the other two in the group didn't have to move out of the Three Cats Inn, and only Emilia moved into Xia De's house.

"It was not easy to leave the academy..."

On the carriage, the blonde elf said pitifully. Luvia, sitting beside Xia De, comforted her:

"The academy might not let you leave Tobesk, maybe just give you a few letters to pay attention to safety and let you continue to carry out tasks locally."

Although she said so, even Xia De could guess that the academy would probably not let Emilia and the others stay. Emilia was quite regretful about this, and Xia De was also very sorry. After all, he promised Emilia to take her around the city, and seeing that there was not much time left;

"Stay at my place for these few days, and don't continue your tasks. Just treat it as a vacation and have a good rest for a few days. If there is a chance, I will contact Her Royal Highness Ajelina Cavendish, who made friends with you last time, and let her take you to Yodel Palace for a tour."

If she heard this news at ordinary times, Emilia would definitely be very happy. But now she just lowered her head and said "um," and even her sharp ears seemed to droop... Xia De always felt that she looked very similar to his own cat when it was sad.

"Xia De, Luvia, thank you."

The sensible elf didn't forget to thank them for this.

"Don't be so polite, didn't you help me a lot in the Randal Valley? Besides, we are friends. It's just a pity that the unicorn can't come to Tobesk casually, otherwise Little Mia would definitely be very happy."

Mentioning the unicorn, Emilia's mood improved a little. Although leaving Tobesk meant the end of the vacation, thinking that there were still many friends after going back, she... still felt regretful.

The night was not very deep, and the Three Cats Inn officially entered the night mode. There were still many guests on the first floor, and the flowery girls dressed in revealing clothes were also waiting for guests against the wall. Emilia's room didn't need to be checked out. She just brought her luggage away tonight. Xia De and Luvia wanted to help her go upstairs to pack, but Emilia claimed that her luggage was not much, declined Xia De and Luvia's help, and let Xia De and Luvia wait for her on the first floor, and she would bring her luggage down soon.

Considering that the elf girl also had some private items, Xia De and Luvia didn't insist on helping her, but asked for two cups of hot tea at the counter and sat at the table on the left side of the bard playing the piano.

That bard with okay singing skills was playing and singing an ancient legend of a hero and a dragon. The general content was that the dragon kidnapped the princess, the hero went to rescue, and exchanged himself for the princess, and lived happily with the dragon ever since.

"You look a bit regretful, is it because you couldn't bring 【Night Watcher】 out?"

Holding the teacup, Luvia said to Xia De with a smile.

"Of course not, acting with others from the academy tonight, how could I bring it. It's just that I originally wanted to demonstrate the miracle I just learned to you, but Dorothy had something to do and couldn't come, and I didn't have a chance to cast the miracle in the end. Those believers of misfortune were too weak."

"I have always known you are powerful."

The purple-eyed girl pinched Xia De's hand and teased:

"Emilia will probably live in your house for two or three days. I can't stay overnight at your place every day, and Dorothy probably has things she can't come like today. So, the night you and Emilia are alone..."

"Oh, Luvia, do you have so little confidence in me?"

Xia De widened his eyes, and then was pinched by the purple-eyed girl again. She said reproachfully:

"What are you saying, can I have no confidence in you? I'm afraid Emilia will do irrational things. A man and a woman are alone in the house, and you have saved her many times, and you are so handsome. I know you are very attractive."

"Um... is this not teasing me?"

Luvia smiled. She only needed to give Xia De such a reminder. Just like what she said just now, she had confidence in Xia De and believed that Xia De would do the right thing.

Holding the teacup, the two talked about Moon Bay again, talked about Xia De going into the sewer next, and chasing the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 laboratory with Mr. Bernhardt.

Originally it was just a low conversation, and the bard's voice completely covered the voices of the two. It's just that as they talked, Xia De suddenly looked up:

"I don't know why, I always feel that this matter is not over yet. After all, everything tonight went too smoothly. Moreover, there are still doubts about this matter, right? The withered leaf bookmark that Emilia obtained at the beginning is not sure if it was also given by the cultists. And, didn't Priest Augustus also say that the misfortune on Emilia was too exaggerated?

We let Emilia go upstairs alone, is it a bit imprudent... Emilia said when she first asked me for help that she had been having nightmares since she moved in here, but so far the three relics that appeared don't have the characteristic of making people have nightmares continuously."

Suddenly saying this sentence was just because there was some unease in his heart, and Xia De believed his sixth sense very much.

Luvia then took out the divination cards. This action made Xia De think of the blonde witch in Moon Bay. It's just that compared to Miss Beilian De, Luvia's divination clearly helped Xia De more:

"A sign of misfortune, is this matter really not over? Is there a mastermind behind it?"

Purple eyes carried a suspicious look, but Luvia, who was always cautious, would not let go of any doubts:

"Xia De, perhaps you still have the chance to show me your newly learned incantations tonight, but I would rather you just show me your skills in bed tonight. Let's go, let's go upstairs and take a look."
