Chapter 2227

The girls said as they walked towards the study. Xia De followed Princess Lei Qianya, and asked Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, who was walking along, suspiciously:

"You don't need to take exams, right?"

The duchess raised an eyebrow:

"Of course not, but there are still some official documents that need to be processed. Anyway, your study is as big as your bedroom, can't you share a piece of the desktop with me? Tifa is not here now, I have to handle some things myself, I have already started to miss my dear apprentice."

"Then tonight..."

Luweiya pulled Xia De's sleeve:

"Knew you still wanted to know. Yesterday week."

She said this, and the red-haired princess's face showed a smile, so Xia De looked at Miss Miss Jia Lin Na again. The duchess looked at Princess Lei Qianya and asked teasingly:

"Does little Princess Lei Qianya need help?"

Princess Lei Qianya naturally wouldn't admit defeat:

"Of course not, tonight is my time, you and the maids go downstairs to sleep. Don't underestimate me, counting Dorothy and Grace, Helen, I am also a genuine Chosen One."

The duchess smiled and didn't object, but in fact, late that night, when she quietly came to the second floor and pushed open the bedroom door to see the scene in the bedroom illuminated by moonlight, the panting Princess Lei Qianya did not object to her arrival.

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na originally thought that Luweiya, who was really sleeping in the guest room on Monday morning, would tease her behavior, but in fact Luweiya said nothing. Early Monday morning, the atmosphere at No. 6 St. Deran Square was harmonious, and the maid ladies were either helping the hostesses of the house dress up or busy with breakfast in the kitchen.

In the bedroom, Xia De heard Princess Lei Qianya telling Luweiya that her skin seemed to have become much fairer recently, and Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, who was picking out clothes in the cloakroom, suggested with a smile that the three of them go to see her personal tailor today to customize autumn dresses in advance.

Xia De had just carried the 【God's Gift Box】 up from downstairs at this time, and little Mia was standing in the gift box with the lid open, looking at Xia De happily with her front paws clutching the edge of the box.

However, after putting the box on the coffee table, Xia De didn't go to touch the gift, but took out the time key he had purchased from Old John last week.

The time key that should have been used on Friday was delayed because he wanted to concentrate on dealing with the demon matter. Since the demon matter had temporarily come to an end, a brand-new time adventure should also set sail.

"I'm going out for a trip, I'll be back in three seconds."

Xia De said to the ladies who were still putting on makeup and changing clothes with the key, but only Princess Lei Qianya responded to him:

"Be safe... hope that when I hear this sentence, you haven't already returned."

Then came the laughter of Luweiya and Miss Miss Jia Lin Na.

Little Mia didn't like going out much, but always wanted to go out with Xia De when he used the time key. However, Xia De still remembered the last time, so even though the cat followed him to the door of the study with its short legs, Xia De still didn't take it:

"I haven't forgotten the time you suddenly turned from a toy into a cat and stepped on my head."

He squatted down and tried to reason with his cat:

"Oh, Mia, I don't blame you for stepping on my head, but you can't just change back and forth. This time, I definitely can't let you follow. Wait at home for breakfast."

"Meow~"

The cat let out a soft cry and looked at him with big eyes. Xia De wasn't sure if the cat understood, so he stood up and turned to look at the cat when he was about to insert the key into the keyhole. It was still standing in its original position:

"Don't follow me, this time is very dangerous, I don't know what the situation is on the other side."

Xia De said to the cat again. Luweiya in the room shook her head at Princess Lei Qianya with a smile, and Princess Lei Qianya also listened to the conversation outside with a light smile.

"Meow~"

"May the World Tree protect me in time."

The key was inserted into the lock hole. As his wrist exerted force, click~ the door was opened, and behind the door was thick white fog like cotton wool.

Xia De grabbed the door frame and looked back again, finding that little Mia was still in its original place, even squatting down, looking at him very obediently.

Xia De emphasized again:

"Don't follow me when I'm not paying attention, this door only allows one creature to pass, don't move around."

"Meow~"

"So obedient this time, are you..."

"Xia De, if you don't leave again, breakfast won't be left for you."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's voice came from the room, so Xia De said "Oh~", turned around and walked into the fog door. As for the orange-white cat, it still squatted there obediently, waiting for Xia De to return without blinking its eyes.

【Outlander, you have stepped into the "Corridor of Time".】

【Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Summer, 4260, Fifth Era, Eastern Continent, Gravel Gold Sand Sea.】

【Event: Find the "Heart of the Oasis".】

【Duration: 40 minutes (1/3).】

"4260... 500 years away from 4791, when I attended the banquet of the Butterfly God in the worm cave of the Southern Continent; 1200 years have passed since 3028, when I escaped from the Eternal Night City in the Far North with Fiona."

These were the two closest time points, and the long time always made people melancholy. But this time point meant that Xia De would likely not meet any acquaintances in this adventure.

"The location is the desert, so I hope it's at least brighter this time, don't be pitch black every time. Desert... could it be that there was too much water in the Sea of No Light last time, so there's no water at all this time? But what is the Heart of the Oasis? Another thing I've never heard of."

He stood in the white fog and let his imagination run wild, and "She" continued:

【You have obtained additional information.】

【The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches you.】

【The ancient god of time gives you a test.】

【Witness three sand sea illusions together with the god "Lady of Mist".】

【The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: a piece of real information - Holy White Hall, Strange Art - Crystal of Truth.】

"Lady of Mist... oh, I remember, God of Mist, this is a god who holds a neutral attitude towards life."

Xia De recalled in the fog:

"What did the book say... His believers are composed of those hermits living far away from civilized areas. It is said that walking alone in thick fog has a probability of encountering the temple of this god. Of course, that was the Fifth Era, and this god also left in the Fifth Era."

The God of Mist is not very powerful, but definitely not the kind of unknown god. Xia De doesn't know much about it, but at least confirmed that this is not an evil god like the God of Blood.

"The task is to witness the illusions, um... as for this reward..."

【Holy White Hall】 is the space left by the ancient god "Dragon of Radiance". It is said that this space is related to the ancient gods. Xia De heard these things from Miss Beilinde'er.

This reward itself is very useful to Xia De. Given that the Tree Father had given news of 【Dark Dungeon】 and 【Silver Moon Library】 before, he was not surprised at all.

"Strange Art - Crystal of Truth, corresponding to the whisper 【Prejudice】 spiritual rune I just obtained. The Tree Father is really thoughtful, just in time that I haven't had time to find a strange art for this spiritual rune, He gave me the corresponding reward. What will its effect be? Listening to the name, it doesn't look like an attack-type strange art."

Xia De thought in his heart, and then was curious why the strange art corresponding to "prejudice" was "truth":

"Gluttony corresponds to satiety, greed corresponds to cherishing, laziness corresponds to high spending, anger corresponds to calm, arrogance corresponds to praise, indifference corresponds to enthusiasm. Yes, I should have gotten used to it."

He shook his head, and took a step forward in the white fog. So the white fog slowly dispersed to both sides. The curious Xia De just wanted to observe the surroundings, but screamed and covered his eyes, then quickly went to pull his clothes:

"Oh! Why is it so bright! Why is it so hot!"

【Didn't you just complain that the time adventures have always been too dark?】

"She" asked with a smile in Xia De's ear.

After the white fog dispersed, the bright sun in the sky almost blinded Xia De, and the heat rising around him made him feel like he was about to explode.

The world seemed to have turned into a huge steamer, and Xia De in it had nowhere to hide. Knowing his current physical fitness, even if he put his hand into the fire to roast, he wouldn't have such a big reaction.

The heat was transmitted upward through the soles of his feet, but it also made Xia De feel that he was stepping on sand.

While quickly taking off his extra clothes, he looked around with eyes that had slightly adapted to the strong light. It was indeed an endless desert here.

Although there was a breeze here, and the breeze drove the sand to flow on the sand surface, the wind was also full of heat. Looking around, sand like gold grains covered every corner of the field of vision.

The heat even made the air appear to have a strong distortion. Xia De felt that don't talk about the 40 minutes required by the task, he would be done in 10 minutes at most.

"Miss Jia Lin Na's Ice Curse!"

Taking the water bottle out of his pocket, he tried to blow cold air at it, but the spell failed and no cold air was exhaled. Even the water in the water bottle began to evaporate rapidly at an abnormal speed as soon as the lid was opened and it touched the sun.

"Lock - Match Girl! Snow quickly!"

With the rapid consumption of spirit, the sky light seemed to become dim, but nothing else happened.

Although Xia De knew that in such an unstable space environment, he shouldn't think about summoning a complete starry sky or even a street, and his own spirit wasn't enough, he didn't expect that even the simplest snowing couldn't be achieved.

【Outlander, there are special environmental rules here. All powers that reduce temperature and create water sources, ice and snow cannot be used.】

"She" continued.

Fortunately, although the evaporation speed here is very fast, taking out the water bottle and pouring it on his head to let his brain cool down a bit is still doable.
