Chapter 2225
Until he stepped on the steps at the door of his house and reached out to take out the key, Xia De was still immersed in the doctor's last words and expression.
The door crack had just opened, and little Mia couldn't wait to jump off Xia De's shoulder and rush into the house. And Xia De didn't notice until he entered the door that the lights in the foyer were actually on, and it was full of people.
"Shh~"
Princess Lei Qianya turned her head abruptly, put her index finger in front of her mouth, frowned and made a shushing gesture to Xia De, then continued to turn her head and listen to the sound upstairs with Miss Miss Jia Lin Na. The maids were not in the foyer; they were at the junction of the foyer and the first-floor living room, also listening carefully to the sound upstairs.
Xia De looked at them suspiciously. After he closed the door softly and changed his shoes, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na grabbed him, her golden eyes revealing a worried look, and she whispered:
"Why did you just come back? Your teacher is here, right upstairs."
"What?"
Xia De was very surprised:
"Miss Feilian is here?"
The duchess tapped his head, an action that made Princess Lei Qianya look at her with dissatisfaction. The princess also said to Xia De:
"What are you thinking? It's Miss Danister, the Red Moon Witch."
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the other party came for Amelia.
In the morning, many people in Moon Bay City saw someone holding the Sword of Light riding a unicorn. Others didn't know, but Miss Danister certainly knew what this represented. Xia De just didn't expect that Miss Danister, who was handling matters out of town, would be so well-informed:
"Did she come by projection? Why not wait for me to come back before projecting?"
"What projection, she knocked on the door and came in from the entrance!"
The red-haired duchess grabbed Xia De's sleeve, she looked really nervous:
"At that time, Princess Lei Qianya and I had just arrived at your door by carriage, and we even looked at her several times when we got off the carriage.
When Luweiya opened the door and addressed her as 'Professor Danister', I was completely stunned. I had only seen her from afar before, and I didn't see her clearly when we were in the reeds at Green Lake last time... Go up quickly, Luweiya is entertaining her now. She came forty minutes ago. If you don't come back, we really don't know what to do."
Then she pushed Xia De upward without question. Xia De had no choice but to go up. He really didn't expect such an important guest to come to his house tonight.
After Xia De arrived on the second floor, he really saw the thirteen-ring witch with the same bright red hair in his living room.
She was sitting on the sofa with Luweiya, and tea sets were placed on the coffee table in front of them. The sound of their conversation was very clear; Miss Danister seemed to be asking Luweiya about joint training.
Just now, Luweiya saw little Mia run into the living room and "meow" a few times very impolitely at Miss Danister, and knew that Xia De had returned. Seeing Xia De appear at the door at this time, she breathed a sigh of relief and stood up immediately:
"Oh, Xia De, you're finally back. Look who's here? Professor Danister has something to find you for, so I won't disturb you. Hot water is in the kitchen, tea leaves are still in the old place, there's still plenty of this pot of tea after it's brewed. If you need fruit, I had the maid wash it and put it on the dining room table just now."
After finishing, she nodded politely to Miss Danister, then walked past Xia De with a shy step and went directly to the first floor.
After the footsteps of "deng deng deng" went far away, Xia De withdrew his surprised expression and greeted the lady on the sofa:
"Good evening, Miss Danister, I really didn't expect you to come to my place so late. Is the matter handled?"
Her hat was hanging on the coat rack at the door, and she was wearing a red and white checkered long dress at this time. Her hair was simply tied into a large braid hanging behind her. When she turned to look at Xia De, she looked him up and down before saying:
"Of course it's not handled. How many days have I been out? But it's still necessary to come here on this trip. However, before talking about business, please allow me to express my surprise—is your house this lively every night?"
"What? Oh, no, no, I mean..."
Xia De sat on the short sofa on the side and shook his head:
"You came to my place specifically so late, it shouldn't be to talk about this, right?"
"Of course not, but I still have to remind you. Actually, I have reminded you many times that crimes of passion are also a common cause of death for ring warlocks.
This is not to scare you. Since you are so bold as to walk a single-plank bridge, you must think about the possibility of falling down in advance."
Miss Danister looked at her student with sorrow:
"Although there is no such thing as a person without flaws, and the only flaw you currently show is this one, but... let's talk about business. If I continue, I feel like I'm becoming a nagging old woman."
She didn't beat around the bush either, and asked directly:
"What happened to Amelia this morning?"
Xia De had decided to tell the truth, so he said very frankly:
"Aren't we dealing with that demon?
This morning, during the Big Ben operation in Moon Bay, when the demon's main body was lured to the top of the tower, Amelia held the 【Night Watchman】—I mean the 【Night Watchman】 borrowed from the God-Caller—and then somehow, after that sword was struck by a golden lightning bolt, it turned into a white Sword of Light... That's about it, but Amelia is definitely not a Chosen One now."
"Of course she isn't. Miss Synode's bloodline is clearly traceable. What could this kind of pure-blooded elf have to do with dragons? The source of her bloodline is no worse than that of dragons."
Miss Danister said, picking up the teacup on the table:
"Tell me in detail about the whole process of this matter, starting from when you arrived at Big Ben in Beilinde'er. I want to know the whole process of pulling the sword."
There were not many things that needed to be hidden in the morning's operation. As long as Doctor Schneider, who only made a move at the end, was omitted, and the source of the "one-hit-kill glass bead" was reasonably explained, other things could be said directly.
Xia De believed that the ladies downstairs were also eavesdropping, so he explained it very thoroughly. As for the three swords Amelia swung, Xia De, who was very close to the elf girl at the time, also had an unusual experience:
"If Amelia's target at the time was me, I wouldn't dare to say that I could definitely face those three swords head-on.
The Sword of Light is said to be ineffective against righteous people, but clearly I don't count as absolutely righteous either. That kind of pure light, in my perception, was stronger than the exotic light that could melt everything... Do you know about this?"
"Of course I know, there was a case at St. Byrons two days ago."
Miss Danister raised an eyebrow, and Xia De was startled:
"What? At St. Byrons?"
"Continue, this has nothing to do with this matter, and no one died, just a unlucky guy lost a hand. The protection of the academy is much stronger than that of an ordinary city. The light in the night... not important."
"Okay. Compared to me, the demon was clearly more afraid of that sword. I heard from Amelia that that sword has the characteristic of space locking. As long as it is selected as a target, it cannot use the power of space movement again.
However, that sword seems to have no resistance to time. Amelia said she felt the demon freeze time, but she only knew that time had stopped, and she herself could not act in frozen time."
The red-haired witch then showed a slightly surprised expression:
"I had only heard before that the most ancient evil spirits could freeze time, but this is really the first time I've encountered it.
However, Miss Synode being able to perceive time freezing is probably not because of that sword, but because of herself. You should have heard that she is a high elf. High elves among elves are only used to describe the descendants of the Tree Father or the Silver Moon Sage's priests."
Xia De nodded:
"Besides space locking, Amelia said that that sword can also achieve a certain degree of 'one hit, one kill'.
However, she believes that this characteristic does not come from the 'Sword of Light' itself, but that the 'Sword of Light' enhanced the power of the 【Night Watchman】 as the underlying material. Amelia is still a bit confused now and hasn't been able to sort out the information she obtained."
Xia De paused, thinking that such words seemed to belittle Amelia:
"She said that the characteristics that the 'Sword of Light' can manifest, besides itself, are also related to the holy sword itself. It will enhance those special characteristics. For example, the 【Night Watchman】 itself has the ability to expel evil, and also has the characteristic of helping the wielder who doesn't know how to use a sword very well to swing the sword."
"Looking at it this way, Miss Synode's talent for using that sword is not very high."
Miss Danister evaluated:
"After the church shared the news of the 'Sword of Light', the three major academies also found some information. Talented wielders can often obtain a lot of information for the first time. Miss Synode is like this... barely qualified."
"Besides that, it's the consumption problem. Amelia lay on the bed for most of the day and only woke up after three o'clock in the afternoon. However, she recovered quite well, and was able to get out of bed and walk around before dinner."
Miss Danister nodded again and asked Xia De some details he hadn't mentioned, such as whether the 【Night Watchman】 itself had changed afterwards, and whether Amelia had changed.
And after asking these questions, Xia De brought up a new topic. He leaned forward slightly to express his confusion:
"It's like this, I also found some information about the Sword of Light recently. There is a saying that the source of the strange art 【Moonlight Greatsword】 is the artifact forged by the ancient gods."
"Yes, there is indeed such a saying, but this is not mainstream. Why, after seeing that sword with your own eyes this morning, did you have new insights into your own power?"
"No, at least not yet. I'm just curious, after all, 【Moonlight Greatsword】 is the strange art I use most often.
If the source of 【Moonlight Greatsword】 or 【Sunlight Greatsword】 is really the Sword of Light, then is it possible for us to figure out the pulling ritual of the Sword of Light through these two strange arts or divine arts?"
