Chapter 2125: The Girls' Night Talk

~10 min read 1,884 words

"Of course not."

Luweiya on the other side of the bed had been waiting for her to speak, turned to face her, and opened her eyes. The beautiful purple pupils were truly glowing in the dark night. Emilia bit her lip, feeling a sense of security.

Luweiya said:

"You were just unlucky to be chosen by the cultists. In fact, most ordinary people in this world will not have any contact with the supernatural until they die. I know what you are worried about, but rest assured, there will be no danger here tonight... this house is very unusual."

The girl gripping the quilt with both hands nodded gently and couldn't help but ask:

"When you encounter those dangerous relics, aren't you afraid?"

"Of course I have been afraid."

Luweiya continued to lie on her side, looking at the pitiful girl in front of her:

"I also promoted from the first ring. I was afraid when I encountered these dangers at a low ring, but what could I do? My parents passed away very early, and I didn't have many friends I could trust around me. Later, I got used to being alone, and then later, I met Xia De."

The smile overflowing on her face at this moment was interpreted as "happiness" by Emilia, who was also lying on her side.

"Although his level was lower than mine at first, for some reason, as long as he is by my side, I feel very at ease. Even if I encounter more dangerous and incomprehensible situations, as long as he is by my side, I know there will definitely be no problems. You know, I didn't move into this house."

Luweiya's voice was very soft; she didn't want the girls' night talk to be heard by Xia De resting next door:

"But I really like this house. This is Xia De's home, and it will also be my home. Resting at home, I will never feel fear or dread."

The purple eyes and the smiling face made Emilia gradually relax as well. She nodded knowingly, feeling that the purple-eyed fortune teller in front of her really knew a lot and was very mature:

"Because it's at home, so you don't worry, right? Alright then, Xia De's house is very safe... Luweiya, will I also be as mature and gentle as you in the future?"

She asked with some anticipation again, and Luweiya blinked at her:

"You will, but by then, you might miss your current self."

The elf girl couldn't understand the weight of this sentence at the moment. She just shrank her body further into the quilt and apologized softly with a red face:

"I disturbed you, right? If I hadn't appeared, you wouldn't be sleeping here."

"What are you saying? A lady shouldn't say such things."

Luweiya pushed Emilia gently:

"Alright, alright, go to sleep. Xia De and I are both here, there is no more danger."

"Okay, good night, Luweiya."

"Good night, Emilia."

They both closed their eyes again, but before Emilia fell into a dream, she heard Luweiya beside her suddenly say:

"If you hear slight footsteps or scratching sounds on the wall in this house in the middle of the night, don't be nervous."

Emilia immediately became nervous again:

"Is there something wrong with this house itself?"

"Of course there is something wrong."

Luweiya said in her heart, but answered with a smile:

"That's the sound of Little Mia patrolling her territory or sharpening her claws at night. I was worried about scaring you, so I gave you a reminder."

Thinking of that cute cat, the elf girl felt the last trace of fear fade away. She nodded, and only then closed her eyes with peace of mind, relaxed her spirit, and fell into a dream. As for Luweiya beside her, she originally wanted to tiptoe to the next room to "visit" Xia De, but listening carefully, the even breathing sound had already come from next door, so she didn't move, but with a smile, she also fell into a deep sleep.

The moonlight was bright, shining obliquely into the room from the living room window without curtains. On the oil painting in the living room illuminated by the moonlight, half of the "mermaid's" face was full of smiles. And the many strange doors on the third floor, second floor, and basement seemed to appear together for a moment because of the resonance of the moonlight.

The fire crackled, and the dice jumped softly. Listen carefully, this night, just like before, seemed to have many prayer sounds from unknown sources. The outsider was exhausted and had already entered a dream that no one could explore. He leaned his face against the pillow, his right hand resting by the pillow. Only when he closed his eyes did he finally shed his usual tension and unease.

A silver arm reached out from nowhere, fingers gently brushing his cheek. Afterward, the cat curled into a ball by the pillow opened its eyes, looked around, and moved closer to Xia De, leaning against his hand and falling into a deep sleep.

(Little Mia is running...)

Early Tuesday morning, Emilia felt like she had returned to school.

This was the second night she had spent in this house. Waking up after seven o'clock on Monday belonged to natural awakening, but at six-thirty on Tuesday morning, she was woken up by Luweiya to wash up and eat breakfast:

"Oh, I'll... what time is it now? It's summer vacation, I don't have morning classes, and I don't need to go to the cafeteria. Liana and the others are also sleeping at this time. I'll go feed and water them when I wake up."

Then she was gently pulled up by Luweiya. The elf girl in her nightgown looked at her pitifully:

"So, correspondence ring warlocks not only have to face so many dangers, but also have to get up so early every day to study?"

"Breakfast at home is at this time. If you don't get up, there probably won't be any breakfast."

Since she was woken up, Emilia sensibly took the initiative to help Luweiya prepare breakfast in the kitchen. Xia De took advantage of the time they were cooking to go out through the morning mist, and when breakfast was served on the table, he brought Iluna back home:

"Luweiya made breakfast, right?"

The girl with long brown hair said excitedly, but walking up the stairs and seeing that a certain elf who was fifty years old but still looked like a minor was also there, she pouted slightly.

"Iluna, wash your hands and sit down to eat. You also know Emilia; she will stay at Xia De's for the next few days. I asked Xia De to call you over early in the morning; there are some things to tell you."

Luweiya, wearing an apron, said, so although Iluna was a bit unhappy, she soon integrated into the breakfast atmosphere. As for the slight jealousy that a fifty-year-old elf could live here, it soon dissipated; she was not the kind of petty person.

And at the breakfast table, Luweiya also mentioned to Iluna what happened yesterday.

"Cult of the God of Misfortune? Their hands have actually reached Tobesk?"

Iluna frowned slightly, and Xia De nodded:

"Those two cultists have probably already arrived at St. Byrons. Although the church didn't participate in this matter throughout, I still hope the church can know something. After all, St. Byrons' hands can't reach a big city like Tobesk. If there really are any fish that slipped through the net, it will be troublesome. In addition, when Emilia and the others checked into the Three Cats, the missing pharmacist you investigated at the inn, I think should also have been taken away by 【Friendly Neighbor】. This matter can also be closed."

Iluna of course understood what Xia De meant:

"Then I'll finish writing the investigation report first, and after Emilia and the others leave Tobesk, I'll submit this investigation report."

"Thank you."

The elf girl thanked her from the side. Last time when investigating the cursed letter, she saw that the girl with long brown hair and Xia De had an unusual relationship, and at this moment it was completely confirmed. Thinking again that Xia De mentioned that although Iluna was only 18, she was already at the eighth ring, and there was absolutely no difficulty in breaking through to a high ring, she admired the other party's power even more.

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

Iluna waved her hand indifferently:

"But in a while, I want to ask you about the detailed process of the matter. I will gradually reveal clues to the captain and the others these few days until you leave before ending the investigation."

"No problem, anyway, I have nothing to do these few days... Xia De won't let me go out."

She looked at Xia De quietly, but Xia De's expression didn't change:

"It's not that I won't let you go out, it's that you can't go out without an escort. Stay at home this morning and tell Iluna the whole process of this matter. If things go smoothly, Luweiya, take her to the Fortune Teller Association in the afternoon for a look."

"No problem."

The purple-eyed girl nodded.

"I'll contact Her Highness Angelina in a while. If she has time, let her accompany you to Yodel Palace tomorrow, or go to the manor outside the city or the opera house in the city to relax. I have some things to solve out of town, but I will also take time to walk around the city with you these few days."

Xia De arranged it this way, and the three girls at the table had no problems. So after breakfast, Xia De went to the study and handed the three problematic items on Emilia, namely the "Withered Yellow Leaf Bookmark" she obtained earliest, the "Holy Emblem of the God of Misfortune" that appeared after crushing the dice, and the relic derivative "Leaf-Shaped Silver-Plated Bone Ornament," all to Iluna.

"Keep them with you. After the investigation is over, I will hand them over to the church when I submit the evidence. The Academy has already left images for them and agreed to report this matter to you."

"Keep them in your hands first, I'll come and get them after the report is written."

Iluna said, and then asked curiously:

"The dice are definitely given by the cultists, the brooch is a relic derivative summoned by misfortune, so that bookmark, is it certain that it was also given to Emilia by the cultists?"

"Should be, there will be news after the Academy finishes the interrogation of the captives."

"I'm just curious, why is there no holy emblem of that evil god on the leaf."

After breakfast, Luweiya and Xia De went out separately. Today is Tuesday, Luweiya of course still has to go to work, and Xia De had already agreed with Mr. Bernhardt to explore the sewer together today. Of course, before Xia De left, he didn't forget to tell Emilia that she could read all the books in the study of this house, and instructed her to help feed Little Mia at noon. ===== CHAPTER 2126 =====
