Chapter 2155: Professor Evans' Regret
Said that terrible guess in his heart, but Xia De still couldn't believe it:
"But that evil object isn't hiding in the abyss deep in the seabed, how could it run here... I understand, things are probably really troublesome."
Xia De looked at the lightless surging sea again, and the sound of the roaring sea made his hair stand on end. Since he heard about the "Seven-Tailed Player," he had been guessing that the sinking of the "Radiant Messenger" was because of this evil object. And after obtaining some information about the evil object in the Sixth Era, he guessed even more that the thousands of people on the entire "Radiant Messenger" were just flesh and bone sacrifices for the ritual of summoning the evil object.
"But I originally thought the summoning ritual failed. After all, Miss Theresa, Miss Maxim, and Professor Evans didn't mention that they noticed the monster bigger than the mountains while they were escaping from the sea. Now it seems..."
He turned back to the two young witches who were snuggling together and still afraid, and told them his guess. In these past time adventures, he was mostly just witnessing stories, rarely encountering scenes that required him to take the initiative to fight. But this time the ancient evil object was very likely lurking under his feet, and Xia De had to make full preparations:
"The sacrifice ritual of the Radiant Messenger may have succeeded, but you 'died' in the process, and in order to protect yourself, you subconsciously forgot the indescribable thing you saw."
The witches looked at him blankly, and then whispered confirmation:
"So that monster also came here with us, and then was suppressed by the power of this ocean?"
Xia De nodded lightly:
"Now it seems that your actual experience is: escape from the ship being sacrificed, see the main body of the evil object and die, enter this lightless light with the evil object, God saved your souls, and the twisted power of the evil object shaped that strange body. If I didn't exist, you would probably have to notice something wrong with yourself to get rid of the shackles of that fake body. But I appeared, so I fished your real flesh and blood out of the sea."
"So we still have to face it in a while?"
Miss Theresa, who was holding Xia De's arm and wouldn't let go, asked, but Xia De neither nodded nor shook his head:
"God is still here, and I am here too, so don't think so much. You will definitely be able to go out safely, I promise."
Then, he woke up Professor Evans and Miss Malone. Their bodies were terrifyingly cold. Compared to the young witches who regained their senses immediately after waking up, their consciousness woke up slightly slower.
Xia De didn't have much time, but there were many things to do this time. So he asked Miss Theresa and Miss Maxim to take care of the professor and Miss Malone temporarily, and he went to see the god.
Miss Theresa had a lot to say to Xia De, but Xia De left in a hurry. She helped the drowsy Miss Malone, while the maid on the side whispered:
"Miss, you said this is the last time he appears."
"Yes."
"Then you have to seize the opportunity."
The young maid reminded softly, but Miss Theresa pursed her lips and already had a plan in her heart.
On the other side, when Xia De came to the god's side again, the cracks on his body surface had already appeared with light symbolizing divinity. The cat poked its head out from Xia De's arms, it was not curious about the light on Xia De, but looked curiously at the god fishing in front of it.
The god took back the fishing rod and asked him with a gentle smile in the stormy waves:
"It seems you found the power of the dragon?"
"Found it, why do you mention this..."
Xia De suddenly turned his head to look at Miss Malone by the fire, but the latter just squinted and sat there supported by Miss Theresa.
God said:
"Can you feel it?"
"I didn't feel it before you reminded me, but after you reminded me, I did feel it. Miss Malone has the power of a dragon. This is difficult to detect, probably because her real body is not here yet."
Xia De replied, this is the special perception brought by the brand-new divinity. Although this is not as direct as seeing the little bats on the heads of vampires, it is completely fine to confirm the power of the dragon descendant if you perceive it carefully.
"Then do you want to fish first, or answer my question: how did the Radiant Messenger sink?"
God continued to ask with a smile, and Xia De took the fishing rod:
"I have already understood the truth, but I don't have enough evidence yet. I think the remaining evidence is in those memories, please give me more time."
Using Professor Sarah Evans' ring as bait, the fishing rod was thrown far away by Xia De, falling toward the position Xia De had memorized last time.
The fishing line rose and fell with the wind and waves. Xia De, who was fishing on the edge of the floating board in a standing posture, waited quietly for the response from the deep sea. Miss Theresa, who was by the campfire, looked at his back that seemed to be entangled with the embers of golden flames, her eyes flickering and finally made up her mind.
Miss Malone, who sat down after waking up, also saw the back after waking up. The azure eyes seemed to be lit up by those golden light marks, and broken memories flashed in her mind, but then fell silent again. She suddenly felt as if she had remembered something.
"Hooked!"
The sudden huge force almost dragged Xia De, who was holding the fishing rod, into the sea, but he reacted and immediately maintained his balance again. He felt that every "fishing" resistance was getting bigger before he left last time, but this time he gritted his teeth and pulled the fishing line back very steadily bit by bit.
After devouring that piece of "nameless dragon" flesh, the improvement of his strength was definitely not just reflected in the fact that even when Miss Galina was most confused in bed, Xia De could rely on strength to suppress her and not let her turn over. The further enhancement of the flesh brought a qualitative change. Xia De couldn't accurately describe how great his strength was at this time. Punching through the wall this afternoon was just a small test, and using such strength to deal with this fishing was still more than enough.
Finally, what was pulled up from the sea by the fishhook was a very exquisite white porcelain teacup. Xia De held the teacup and let the god gently brush it, so two witches appeared in the faint light.
One of them was naturally Professor Evans, whose age and dress were not much different from the one not far behind Xia De. And the other witch looked much older. Because the age of a witch cannot be judged only by appearance, Xia De could only say that she looked very much like Grandma Cassandra.
Professor Evans held the teacup, sitting on the sofa talking to the strange old witch. Both of them and the sofa were transparent like phantoms, proving that this scene still came from Professor Evans' memory.
"Sarah, why did you take an ordinary person's ship for your field trip this time? Does the academy not even reimburse the travel expenses? Do you need me to lend you a flying carpet?"
The old witch asked with a smile, and Professor Evans said happily:
"Professor Enzo, you have really retired for too long. In the eyes of young girls, flying carpets are already very outdated flying tools. If young girls don't use space jumping for long-distance travel, they either like to use transformation spells, or like activated construct aircraft."
She held the teacup:
"I went to the outer sea for investigation and data collection this time, and I actually wanted to take the opportunity to go out and relax. Although taking a ship is slower, it is more like a vacation."
"Is the academy going to carry out the next step of ocean development? Oh, don't tell me, this has nothing to do with me, an old lady who has retired."
Professor Enzo said with a smile, adding sugar to her teacup with a spoon:
"However, I have news that you are interested in, but Sarah, let me test whether you have fallen behind in your studies during these years of teaching work."
The old witch didn't take out books or documents, but pointed forward lightly, and three rose buds floating in the air:
"Tell me, which one is the product of illusion."
Professor Evans tried hard to distinguish, and Xia De also leaned forward to observe the details of the three flowers. Because the casting of illusions has differences in principles, it is difficult to find a common way to break all illusions. Even Xia De, who is proficient in illusions, was confused by the truth and falsehood of the three roses this time.
Of course, he thought this also had the reason that the three roses were transparent to him.
【Need a hint?】
"She" asked in a light voice, like silver bells ringing in the quiet moonlight, like seagulls soaring under the blue sky.
"Not for now, I want to verify my idea."
Thinking in his heart, he pulled out the cat hidden in his clothes, and then held it toward the three roses. The cat saw the flowers, so it stretched its head and sniffed, and then curiously patted the one in the middle and the one on the left with its claws as usual, but did not want to touch the one on the right.
"Good girl~"
Gently rubbing Little Mia's head, Xia De confirmed that this cat's inspiration was really powerful. In fact, Xia De had always known that Little Mia could see and hear things that ordinary cats and even ordinary people couldn't see or hear. In this way, the intensity of this cat's inspiration didn't seem to be inferior to Arjilina before she awakened.
It's just a pity that although non-human races can also become ring warlocks, Little Mia's intelligence and soul strength are obviously not enough.
Professor Evans was still thinking about the three roses, and since this memory was displayed here, in the real past, the professor should have chosen the wrong rose, which is why she left such a regret.
Xia De reached out and picked the one floating on the right, handed it to the professor, and the professor took it very smoothly and said to Professor Enzo:
"Professor, look, is this right?"
The old witch looked a little surprised, but then showed a gratified expression. ===== CHAPTER 2156 =====
