Chapter 2219: Farewell and Arrival
Miss Ilise in the rain was clearer than any time Xia De had seen her. She stood right in front of him, and just this simple sentence made Xia De, who wanted to ask why she had not shown up, stunned.
He looked at the girl who was talking and laughing in the rain, looking at her who came from the distant past but was indeed in the present:
"Yes, long time no see... You... finally willing to see me?"
"There is a reason for this."
The blue eyes narrowed because of the smile. She looked happily at the young man who already knew everything, looking at him who was exactly the same as in her memory. A long, long time had passed since the past of the Lightless Sea, since her birth. She was very happy that only she needed to wait, while he was still the same:
"I know you have many questions, but now is not the time for chatting. I'll leave first, we'll see each other at Princess Margaret's welcome banquet."
"But..."
She didn't give Xia De a chance to object, and disappeared on the sea surface like a phantom. Xia De just wanted to show a look of loss, but Miss Ilise reappeared in front of him again:
"You owe me two kisses, no, plus this time I came to help, it's three. This time, don't forget again~"
"I won't forget this time."
Miss Ilise nodded with a smile, pulled her skirt and bowed, and then disappeared completely. So here, only Xia De and that little elf hero remained.
Xia De remembered Emilia's ability to walk on water, but perhaps because the consumption was too great to go into the water alone, in short, she didn't jump off the back of the unicorn, but looked at Xia De with tearful eyes:
"That's great, I thought, I thought you..."
"It's fine, it's fine."
Xia De came to the side of the little unicorn and gave her a hug. Emilia hugged him tightly, and only then did she stop sobbing. Xia De thought she would say something else, but the girl he was holding closed her eyes and fell into a coma. The little unicorn tried to look at its back, looking very worried. The light sword in her hand also restored to the appearance of 【Night Watcher】.
When looking again, Emilia had clearly closed her eyes and fallen into a coma. The little unicorn tried hard to look at its back, looking very worried, and the light sword in her hand had also returned to the appearance of the 【Night Watcher】.
【Don't worry, she just consumed too much, she will be fine after resting for a period of time.】
Before Xia De asked, "She" whispered in Xia De's ear. And the disappearance of the "Sword of Light" meant that this matter was thoroughly resolved.
Sure enough, following dense bubbles rising from under the water, the black cube flew out of the water surface. As the cube rotated, Doctor Shi Nai De appeared again.
He gave Xia De a gesture that everything went smoothly with a smile. Although he drilled out from under the water surface, he didn't have any water on him. He wanted to approach Xia De, but stood still amidst the unfriendly cry of the little unicorn "Ang~", and then shook his head quite helplessly:
"Okay, okay, I won't get close. Xia De, this matter is over. Although some small accidents appeared, overall it was really smooth."
"This also counts as a small accident... but it was indeed smooth."
Xia De also showed a smile. The doctor didn't hide the excitement on his face:
"I will handle the matter here, and I will return to Tobesk first. I placed white mice in the basement of the clinic, the safe house, and three other places in the city to facilitate returning. You come to my clinic tonight, and I will tell you about the harvest this time."
Saying this, he threw that red glass bead he had been holding to Xia De:
"This counts as a gift for Miss Sianode. Although it was specially used to deal with Fanalus, wearing it as a pendant can also avoid the approach of other demons to a certain extent... The matter of telling her not to talk nonsense is also left to you."
Xia De nodded knowingly:
"Don't worry, except for those girls just now, no one knows you came here."
"I knew it, you are best at handling such interpersonal relationships."
The doctor praised with a smile, but Xia De felt that he was implying something about him. So Bill Shi Nai De took out the small pistol and aimed at the back of his hand, but Xia De called him again:
"Doctor, after you go back, deal with your hair first... Although you look very spirited like this, I'm afraid it won't be recognized by others."
He was holding back laughter on his face. The doctor touched his hair, only to find that because of the thunder just now, he had become an afro:
"Thank you for your reminder, laugh if you want, see you tonight."
After a "bang~" gunshot, the doctor also disappeared on the water surface.
Xia De supported the unconscious Emilia and looked toward the pier in the north, then patted the little unicorn gently:
"Can you carry us, fly along the coastline to the west of the city and then return to the city?"
"Ang~"
It rubbed against Xia De's palm with its side face gently. It seemed that it was very willing to let Xia De ride up.
Even a young little unicorn could easily carry two people to fly quickly. But when Xia De hugged Emilia and lay on the back of the little unicorn to go far away, the expression on his face was not relaxed at all.
【What are you worried about? The meeting with Desire later?】
"She" asked softly, and the whistling wind and rumbling thunder could not cover this voice.
"No, I'm thinking, since Priest Ao Gu Si would be slightly out of control because he ingested too much power of death, then Doctor Shi Nai De, who is also using non-human power, will he also..."
"She" did not answer, just laughed softly in Xia De's ear. Xia De didn't know what this meant, but decided that when he went to the doctor's clinic tonight, he would ask this question.
This rain, which was divined in advance, indeed did not stop until the afternoon. And for the people living in this city, the dragon roar in the thunder this morning could no longer be considered big news. After all, this phenomenon also appeared on the Sunday of last week and the week before last, which had almost become a fixed program every Sunday.
It was just that this dragon roar again made the citizens who had lived in this city for generations believe that the prophecy that Moon Bay City must be destroyed was really going to be realized.
In fact, it was not just the dragon roar. People didn't even pay much attention to the city center square that was suddenly blocked and the Belindell Big Ben that had to be maintained and therefore would not be open to the public recently. Except for those unlucky guys who were troubled by the glass windows being shattered by the dragon roar, for Moon Bay today, the most important thing was the visit of Princess Margaret Anjou.
Major events such as the appearance of an Angel-level relic in the city center and the suspected appearance of an ancient demon in the city who had already been banished could not affect the local nobles going to the train station to welcome the arrival of the princess.
As the most important noble locally, and also one of the actual controllers of Moon Bay, Countess Bella Belindell naturally had to appear at the train station to show respect to the royal family. Even if the seven major families of Moon Bay were unwilling to submit to the Anjou royal family of Willendale, they still had to do this surface work.
"The maid group of Miss Jia Lin Na has arrived at the manor. I arranged for them to stay on the second floor, and he is taking care of Emilia on the third floor. I hope they won't run into each other."
Standing on the platform, waiting for the train to arrive with the crowd, the countess was still letting her imagination run wild in her heart. Miss Matilda behind her also saw her master's worry, so she lowered her voice and said softly:
"Miss, you don't have to worry so much. Before we went out, I had already explained to the other maids to help watch the stair entrance leading to the third floor. Also, the maids of Duke Miss Jia Lin Na are also very disciplined people, they won't walk around. That gentleman has been taking care of Miss Sianode, and won't easily run into other people on the second floor."
Seeing that Miss Belindell was still worried, she said again:
"He could handle the kind of thing this morning, even if he ran into the servants of that count, it would be nothing. Moreover, after those two ladies arrive in a while, they can also mediate from it."
The countess nodded gently, but didn't think it would be so simple:
"You don't understand Miss Jia Lin Na, she is not a person who is so easily persuaded. She has her own ideas, and wanting to make her accept his special existence is not a simple matter."
After saying this, she sighed gently again. When looking around, she found that the expressions of the people waiting for the princess's arrival were different, but there were not many who were as worried as her.
So Martin Eddington moved slightly closer to this side:
"Count Belindell, are you so worried? I see you selling goods on behalf of that Highness, the relationship between you should be quite good, right?"
Miss Belindell knew that this was him testing what the relationship between her and Margaret Anjou was, but she was in no mood to talk about this now. The development of the matter this morning to that extent, even if it was safely resolved in the end, would make the local area more turbulent in the next period of time, and the arrival of the witch of the earth Vanessa Benanice and the witch of space Emma Silvea also brought more uncertainty to her "pure" love.
Whether it was "official business" or private affairs, she had many worries, so she just responded very perfunctorily to Count Eddington:
"I am worrying about how to receive Princess Margaret. She said she would find time to visit my manor alone. I don't have the experience of receiving a princess."
Miss Belindell was complaining again in her heart about why Vanessa and Emma wanted to introduce Princess Margaret to "Watson", and the old count smiled on the surface, but was suspicious in his heart about whether the Belindell family had completely surrendered
The train carrying Princess Margaret and her party visiting Moon Bay City would naturally not be late. As the time approached, the counts, viscounts, and barons of the seven great families gathered together, followed by other local nobles and the mayor and others.
The reporters had set up their cameras, and the orchestra was ready to play. The local socialites were all quite honored to tidy up their clothing. After someone shouted "The train has arrived," people surged forward, and the police responsible for maintaining order finally managed to stop them.
