After meeting those azure eyes for a second, Miss Beinisi blinked, and then quickly closed the door again.

"What's wrong?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the witch shook her head violently:

"Oh, the way I opened the door just now might not have been right; let me try again."

She adjusted her expression and took a deep breath, then opened the door again, but this time there was nothing outside.

Thus, Vanessa Beinisi sighed deeply, both relieved that it was indeed an illusion just now, and feeling a deep sense of disappointment.

It was just that before this complex emotion could ferment, she heard Miss Sylvia's excited voice:

"Vanessa, look what I found! In Bella's manor, I just caught a masterless young wild unicorn!"

Miss Beinisi turned her head to the left. The young black-haired witch was kneeling on the carpet, happily stroking the pure white little beast that didn't know what had happened yet. The latter sniffed Miss Sylvia's scent violently, and the memory of its bloodline reminded it of a certain type of special person.

"Masterless? Wild?"

Miss Beinisi repeated the words, then turned around abruptly and asked Miss Beilinde'er in the room:

"Bella, you are actually raising a unicorn?"

"What?"

The countess asked in surprise. Before she could react, the little unicorn had already broken free from Miss Sylvia and rushed over quickly, squeezing its head through the gap between the door and the door frame that Miss Beinisi was holding, and then happily let out an "ang~" sound at Amelia, who had already woken up on the bed.

Thus, the elf girl who was pretending to be asleep had no choice but to wake up:

"Oh~ what time is it now? Can we have dinner?"

She sat up from the bed, wiped her eyes in a pretentious manner, and then found that a room full of beautiful ladies who made her feel ashamed were looking at her.

For various reasons, everyone didn't speak. Amelia shrank her head, feeling that this scene was much more terrifying than facing that crow in the clock tower in the morning.

In short, Amelia's successful awakening could be considered a temporary full stop to the demon matter.

Probably seeing that Xia De still had some things to say to the elf girl, Miss Beilinde'er called the other two witches and two witch apprentices to go to her study to talk about things first.

Others also considerately made space for Xia De, but before Miss Sylvia left, she issued an invitation to the little unicorn to go to the study together, but the pure white little beast just accepted Amelia's stroking by the bedside, which made the young witch very disappointed.

"Bella, that unicorn is really not yours?"

"Emma, how could I raise a unicorn in Moon Bay? But it has lived here for a while, you know? Unicorn hair is really soft."

"Bella, I didn't expect that not only did you hide the Xia De matter, but you also hid the unicorn matter. Honestly, if it weren't for the demon matter, did you think about riding a unicorn to welcome us?"

This was the sound that came when they left the corridor.

The door was closed by Miss Matilda, who left last. When only Xia De, Amelia, and little Liana were left in the room, Xia De said:

"Let's try it."

He took out Doctor Schneider's bottle of potion again, and after applying the potion to Amelia's arm, no crow tattoo appeared this time.

Not only Xia De, but even the elf girl herself breathed a sigh of relief, and then a bright smile appeared on her face:

"It's over, it's finally over! Moon Bay! Vacation! Summer! Holiday!"

"Yes, yes, ahem, please allow me to announce: your 'confinement' period has ended, Amelia, you can go into the city for a stroll."

A visible joy appeared on her face. Xia De also touched the little unicorn beside him, and then said softly:

"Since the matter is over, I will tell you what happened, as agreed."

Seeing that she wanted to leave the bed, Xia De let her continue to sit there and listen.

Since Amelia had already seen Doctor Schneider in the morning, Xia De's story naturally had to start from the "Witch Hunter" Bill Schneider, who had returned from a meeting out of town, sniffing out the foul stench of a demon after Amelia and her group left Tobesk.

In the story, he described Doctor Schneider as a professional "hunter" determined to spend his whole life chasing and hunting demons, but in fact, thinking about it carefully, this was not wrong. As for the name of the demon of misfortune, Fanalus, since the demon had already been swallowed by the doctor, it could be said casually.

Even for an elf, this kind of evil and ancient existence only stayed in myths and legends. Amelia listened while clutching the quilt at first, then changed to hugging a pillow, and finally, for some reason, hugged the little unicorn's neck, and the latter seemed quite happy.

"That's about how it happened."

After finishing the story, Xia De made a summary, pretending to be serious:

"Miss Amelia Synode, with your help, we were able to banish an evil existence that had never been sealed or eliminated in the history of human civilization. If it weren't for the fact that this matter cannot be easily spoken of, your achievements would be enough to earn you the title of 'Brave' or 'Hero', and even if a statue were erected for you at St. Byrons as a memorial, it would definitely not be an exaggeration."

Amelia, who was praised, smiled embarrassedly:

"I won't talk about this matter randomly, this is my summer secret adventure... Actually, I didn't do anything, it was all you and Mr. Schneider doing the work, I only made a tiny contribution... The tradition of our clan is that living people cannot have statues erected for them, and I can't be called a hero~"

She let go of the little unicorn, and then said to Xia De somewhat embarrassedly:

"Thank you for saving me, Xia De, you are my hero."

Xia De shook his head and handed the doctor's red glass bead to her:

"This was the weapon we used when dealing with that crow in the morning. Two were made at the time, but only one was used. Doctor Schneider said, keep this as a souvenir, and it can also to a certain extent prevent you from encountering demons again."

Amelia thanked him softly, and Xia De looked at the 【Night Watchman】 that had been placed flat on the bedside table. The silver longsword had experienced the morning's events and had now completely returned to its original state, without causing any changes or effects on itself due to the "Sword of Light".

Amelia also looked over following Xia De's gaze:

"The morning's events... that sword of light, it actually had a greater impact than the demon matter, right?"

Xia De nodded with some surprise, not expecting her to be able to realize this point:

"There are some things I didn't want to mention to you; once you know, you might get involved in them. But if I want to explain this matter, I must mention it, and you now have the qualifications to know. Amelia, do you want to know? This is not politeness, this is giving you the right to choose."

The elf girl with pointed ears nodded without thinking, her emerald eyes looking at him:

"Is it what you have been doing, and what the professors at the academy have often been traveling to do this past year? I want to know. I understand this is dangerous, but I am already in it, aren't I?"

Confirming that Amelia really wanted to know these things, Xia De started from the beginning to tell the story of the "Whispering Poetry" and the Chosen Ones. Of course, he did not explain the identity of every Chosen One, focusing on the current investigation situation of the seventh Chosen One.

When Xia De finished speaking, Amelia asked nervously:

"I'm actually not that righteous; at the time, I just thought you were dead, and I wanted to avenge you... I'm not a Chosen One, right?"

"At least for now, no. Pulling the sword is only one of the conditions."

Amelia nodded quickly twice:

"That sword passed some information to me at the time; the person who can pull it out once seems to be more likely to pull it out a second time in the future... Besides that, there is some other information. I'm a bit confused now, I'll tell you after I sort it out."

Xia De nodded with a smile, then reached out and took the 【Night Watchman】. After handing it to Amelia, the silver sword just trembled, but did not turn into the Sword of Light again:

"But we know that you haven't become a Chosen One. Although others have guesses, they definitely cannot be sure.

The ladies just now all came from out of town. They said that in places far away from Moon Bay, high-tier ring warlocks with strong perception abilities could feel the fluctuation of elements stirred up when you pulled the sword. The church and other forces have likely already known that 'someone riding a unicorn pulled out the Sword of Light'. Although they can also understand that the Chosen One has not yet appeared, this does not prevent them from wanting to find you and know how you did it."

"But this kind of thing is unrepeatable, right? Although I have experience, the demon has already been banished by Mr. Schneider. We can't bring it back just because we want to pull the sword, right? That doesn't count as justice."

Amelia asked with some distress, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes. And more importantly, none of us want to announce your identity. Announcing your identity has no benefits, and instead will attract those strange illegal organizations."

Hearing him say this, Amelia understood the situation she was currently facing:

"Then what should I do next? Xia De, I'll listen to you, this summer vacation is really too interesting."

The beautiful large eyes looked at Xia De again, and Xia De asked:

"Are you willing to stay in this manor and face this matter with us?"

"Willing!"

She said almost immediately, but felt a bit guilty about whether she had answered too quickly and exposed her thoughts. But fortunately, Xia De didn't notice this point, but said with a smile:

"That's good, you won't be bored next. Do you remember Princess Angelina? She also came here, and is downstairs now. You can have a good chat in a while, or go into the city for a stroll together. Of course, tell Countess Beilinde'er in advance before going out."
