Chapter 2223

"Princess Angelina is also here? Great! I thought it would be a long, long time, many years later, before I could see her again. I want to introduce little Liana to her! Angelina will like her too."

"Ang~"

The little beast let out a low cry, and after Amelia finished speaking, she pursed her lips and asked:

"So... is Angelina also a member of the Witch Council? Will she also become very, very, very beautiful and have a good figure like those ladies just now in the future?"

"Don't say such things in front of Angelina, she will be hurt... um? How do you know about the council?"

Xia De asked in surprise, and the elf girl with pointed ears sitting on the bed said proudly:

"Xia De, don't treat me as someone who doesn't understand anything. Our clan has preserved information about the Witch Council, and as a candidate for the future clan leader, I have also queried that information. Ladies who are beautiful beyond mortal standards gathering together, if it's not the Witch Council, could it be a succubus club?"

She immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, but fortunately Xia De didn't care:

"Angelina is not yet, but she also has a relationship with the council.

In short, you don't need to worry too much about the next things, enjoy your summer vacation. Later, I will contact your two companions and let them return to St. Byrons first after they finish the academy mission. As for when you go back... I'll tell Miss Danister for you."

Amelia nodded quickly, feeling that this unforgettable summer was becoming more and more interesting.

Xia De soon went downstairs and found Angelina, who was tidying up her room by herself. The little princess wanted to exercise her independence, so she didn't let the maids help. As for Dorothy, she stood by and guided Angelina in organizing the wardrobe and tidying the bed.

After seeing Xia De, Dorothy hugged him gently:

"The matter with that countess is handled? You have quite the means, Xia De."

Actually, before the witches returned, Xia De had already seen them on the second floor, and Tifa only followed him upstairs after that. Therefore, Dorothy already knew about the morning's events, and of course, she also knew that Amelia was upstairs now.

"You saying that will make me feel even more like I'm playing with other people's feelings... Let's go upstairs together and see Amelia, she's already awake."

Angelina immediately raised her head and looked at Xia De expectantly:

"Can I go see the little unicorn now?"

"Of course, it's right beside Amelia."

Xia De said with a smile, Angelina put down the clothes she was folding, and walked quickly to Xia De and Dorothy's side. Dorothy also looked at this "younger sister" of hers with a smile, and then asked Xia De:

"Will Amelia stay here all the time after this?"

"Should be."

"That's good, let her stay with Angelina, and Princess Lei Qianya and I will be relieved. It's much better for them to take care of each other than to let Angelina run around alone."

The little princess obviously didn't hear these words, all her thoughts had already flown to the little unicorn she was about to meet.

Sure enough, Angelina and Amelia were both very happy to be reunited in Moon Bay. Although the princess of Tobesk and the elf of St. Byrons hadn't known each other for long, they had already become very good friends.

Angelina, after being permitted, carefully stroked the little unicorn, and then couldn't help but giggle. Dorothy, who was on the side, also wanted to reach out, but was dodged by the timid little unicorn.

"Oh, yes, I am no longer a young girl."

She said this, and then glanced at Xia De. Xia De naturally knew what she was teasing about.

He and Dorothy didn't stay here long, but let Angelina accompany Amelia; they had many common topics to chat about.

Afterwards, the two went to the study, and until he left Moon Bay and returned home that evening, Xia De didn't leave here.

The girls who had just arrived in Moon Bay needed to understand the current situation in detail. Counting Miss Swift, who would arrive from Midehillburg in about a day or two, they could be considered the first batch of reinforcements.

The second batch of reinforcements from the council were another team of maids from Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, who came from Saladir County, Sister Daifulin and Miss Aurora, who had finished handling matters in the New Continent, and the Megan and Audrey sisters, who could appear in Moon Bay at any time.

But except for the apprentices of Old Granny Cassandra led by Miss Swift, the arrival dates of the other witches were not certain, so it could be considered that the main force sent by the council to handle this matter had all arrived.

Of course, compared to being asked about the current situation in Moon Bay by Miss Aurora and Miss Sylvia, it was clear that the countess wanted to know about Xia De's past more. But the witches who came from afar thought that business was important, and promised to tell her everything during their stay tonight.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Xia De for the time being. Because he had to go to the doctor's in the evening, he didn't even stay for dinner. But before leaving, he talked to Amelia about the information she had obtained, and then said goodbye to everyone.

He promised to come again tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he would go with everyone to attend Margaret's welcome banquet.

After all, Miss Elaise was still waiting for him at the banquet.

"Dorothy, let's go back together."

The witches accompanied Xia De to say goodbye at the gate of the manor mansion at dusk. The heavy rain that had lasted for a day had stopped by now, and the sky, reflected red by the setting sun, was exceptionally clear; this was rare good weather for Moon Bay City.

The puddles in the courtyard reflected the glow of the setting sun. Margaret would return to Margaret Manor in a while, but her two witch teachers were staying here tonight. Tifa and the other maids would live here all the time, and they had already been assigned the task of setting up rituals in the manor.

Angelina and Amelia, who had "recovered from a serious illness", stood at the front of the crowd and waved goodbye to Xia De. No one knew that after Angelina heard that some of her novels were piled up in Amelia's room, she had nervously asked:

"Have you ever opened 'The Legend of Prince William' and 'The Legend of the Tree House', and then wiped them with water to find that there was still text in the interlayer?"

"I won't leave today."

Dorothy shook her head and patted Angelina on the shoulder while standing beside her:

"Princess Lei Qianya told me to accompany Angelina to spend a night here before leaving; she is worried that Angelina will be homesick."

The little princess on the side pursed her lips to cover her expression, and Xia De nodded:

"Alright then, ladies, see you tomorrow."

He waved his hand and disappeared at the entrance in the glow of the setting sun after throwing the crystal shoe. The girls who were waving goodbye only then lowered their hands, but no one turned around to return to the mansion immediately.

Miss Sylvia smiled and pushed Miss Beilinde'er, and only then did the latter walk towards Dorothy:

"Miss Louisa, I haven't had time to say hello in the study just now. Hello, I have also heard of the novels you wrote in Moon Bay."

"Hello, Countess."

Using fluent Kassenrik, Dorothy, while recalling the things Luweiya had specifically told her to do before setting off, asked with a smile:

"On behalf of Luweiya, I say hello to you. Shall we talk tonight?"

Miss Sylvia and Miss Beinisi were not surprised by this at all; they all knew the "power" of that purple-eyed fortune-teller. Miss Beilinde'er nodded nervously, and then found her reaction strange.

As for Dorothy... Princess Lei Qianya, who was with Miss Miss Jia Lin Na at the Yodel Palace, was smiling and saying in her heart:

"Luweiya is first, and I am the unchanging second."

(Little Mia is running...)

Throwing the crystal shoe and returning home meant that this busy day was temporarily over. There was no one else at home. Xia De bent down to pick up little Mia, who hadn't seen him all day, and wrote a letter to leave at home to prevent someone from coming to find him later. Only then did he take the cat out for dinner, and then took a carriage directly to the doctor's.

When he arrived at the Schneider Psychological Clinic, the gas lamps on the street had just lit up.

The doctor hadn't eaten yet, and after saying goodbye to his last guest of the day, he went with Xia De to the meeting room often used for group meetings:

"Sit down quickly, detective, just like before, let's have a drink to celebrate."

He brought the champagne and wine glasses he had prepared in advance. Seeing that he was in such high spirits, Xia De also had a drink:

"Doctor, are your injuries okay?"

Come to think of it, the doctor was almost uninjured when fighting the demon today, but was instead injured by Amelia and the "Sword of Light".

"It's fine, it's fine, these minor injuries are nothing. Although there were some accidents, today's operation went quite smoothly."

The doctor shook his head with a smile:

"I knew there would be accidents. I don't believe that hunting an ancient being of the level of 'Fanalus' would definitely succeed in the plan. The smoothness of this matter has actually far exceeded my expectations, you know? I was even prepared to stay in Moon Bay for a few months to hunt it down because it luckily escaped."

Saying this, he raised his glass to clink with Xia De again:

"If future demon-hunting operations go as smoothly as this one, that would be great. Oh, I kept the demon remains for you, you can take them with you in a while. Let's talk about my harvest. I'm preparing to start collecting materials, striving to advance to the ninth ring before winter comes."

Xia De stroked the cat and sat up straight:

"Advancing to a high ring? It seems the harvest this time is very rich."

"Yes, don't look at that crow not showing much combat power today, but that's because we didn't give it a chance. I don't want to repeat how lucky this was many times. In short, after I digest its power, at least one 【Misfortune】 and one 【Crow】 will be enough to advance to the ninth ring."

"This is the first high ring in our group."

"Isn't your advancement to a high ring also a matter of time?"

The doctor said, this was not flattery, this was a fact:

"Besides, there are some other harvests. According to our previous agreement, the power and those demon materials that are hard for you to handle belong to me, and everything else belongs to you."

He picked up the suitcase placed under the coffee table and opened it. Inside, besides the viscous bottled "demon remains", there were also six coins and a few gemstones.
