Chapter 2237

The family had a happy breakfast, during which Xia De also mentioned his dragon language spell.

But even the Great Witches did not understand this strange power, so they could not give any effective suggestions.

As for after breakfast, Xia De did not forget to take out this week's gift from the 【God's Gift Box】; he treated this as an after-meal entertainment activity.

In this house, currently only he and Little Mia were qualified to take gifts. This week, Xia De reached his hand into the bottom of the box himself. After feeling around a bit, he took out a bound document:

"Hmm? What is this?"

The document was more than 30 pages long, and the title position read "Draft Report on the Appointment and Removal of the First Minister of the Army of the Delarion Kingdom."

"This is the document to be discussed today; it should be in the study drawer of my nephew now."

Miss Galina said, took the document from Xia De's hand and flipped through it a few times, then handed it to the curious Princess Lei Qianya:

"Yes, look, there is even a seal at the end. Xia De, you can actually take out this kind of thing as a gift?"

"What is this, Angelina even took out a crown."

Xia De said indifferently, so the witch looked at her grandniece; if she remembered correctly, that crown also appeared last night.

Princess Lei Qianya asked with concern immediately:

"Then what do you need to do this week?"

"At least three mornings to read the newspaper; actually, according to my habits, I would originally do this every day."

Placing the obedient cat on his lap, Xia De did not intend to take back the document:

"In short, I will continue the investigation in Moon Bay this week. The arrival of Miss Bernice and the others will probably make Miss Belindel decide to seek revenge on the 【Light-Seeking Seminar】. I am actually very curious if others have also started collecting the dragon scales that are the symbols of the seven great families besides us."

"Be careful of that 13th-tier sorcerer, the Light-Chaser, and remember to protect Emilia."

Luvia gave a warning, and finally said with a smile:

"I am actually looking forward to meeting that Great Witch of Destiny in Moon Bay; she sounds like a lady who is easy to get along with, and we will become friends."

Miss Galina, Princess Lei Qianya, and Luvia left soon, and Xia De also began his adventure for a brand new week.

Little Mia stayed behind to watch the house as usual, and Xia De, who arrived in Moon Bay, did not go to the Belindel Manor for the first time, but took a carriage from St. George's Stone Bridge in the northeast of the city, crossed the entire city diagonally, and arrived at the Earl of Dalmanin's mansion located on the western edge of the city.

Although it was not raining today, the Earl's mansion standing at the end of the uphill road still looked quiet and strange under the hazy sky of black mist.

That beautiful Countess obviously received the news in advance that Xia De would come today, so she was waiting for him at the entrance of the manor with a smile early on.

Fortunately, this time, the Countess, who was clearly no longer human, and those beautiful maids did not try to touch Xia De. It was just that when the Countess, wearing red silk stockings, personally took Xia De to the basement, she did not forget to praise:

"You cleaned up the demons that invaded this city; you are truly a great hero of Moon Bay."

Xia De pretended not to hear.

He walked into the elevator alone. After the elevator reached the lowest point smoothly, he pushed open the door and arrived at the reef under the sea cliff.

Listening to the sound of waves hitting the reef and looking out at the sea, thick fog soon surrounded him from all directions. A huge shadow flashed under the sea near the coast, and when Xia De could no longer see the ships on the distant sea, with the sound of splashing water, that beautiful woman's head poked out from the edge of the reef.

To be honest, if that head were not beautiful enough, this scene would be too creepy.

She shook her hair with a very aesthetic movement, and water droplets sprinkled from her blonde hair in all directions. Xia De held his breath to adjust his emotions, and then took the initiative to ask:

"I cleaned up Fanalius and came here as agreed. What do you want from me?"

This time he came alone, and he was not holding any girls in his arms, so his confidence in speaking was much fuller than last time.

In the head by the reef, water droplets slid down her fair cheeks. She looked at Xia De with a smile and did not stint on her praise:

"The crow died of greedy desire; this is truly a good play.

I originally thought Fanalius could cause you some small trouble; I did not expect you to think of using that simple elf to draw the sword."

"Hmm... how does this look like my plan?"

Her eyes curved like crescent moons because of her smile. Of course, she did not come to Xia De specifically for a "post-war summary." The sound of splashing water came from the thick fog behind her, and she said in a light tone:

"By eliminating that crow, you proved to me that you indeed have the willingness and means to protect this city of desire that belongs to me. I want to provide some help for your next actions, cruel man; even so, are you still vigilant against me?"

The more she was like this, the more vigilant Xia De was, of course, but at least Xia De would not show it:

"Help me... perhaps one day long from now, when I find that the entire city council is your people, I will regret what I did. But, alright, what do you want me to do this time?"

The sound of splashing water continued to come from the thick fog behind her, and her laughter was still as light as the wind sweeping over grass buds:

"You can treat this help as a reward for you eliminating that crow that invaded my city. But just like before, since I have given it, you cannot refuse."

Her fair right hand reached out from the water like a big white snake, holding a red crystal dagger in her palm, its shape very similar to Xia De's "Love God's Thorn":

"This dagger can be used twice. Even the strongest humanoid angel-level relic, such as your pair of butterflies, will be seriously injured if hit by it. Like the disgusting corpse that appeared in the clock tower on the weekend, it probably won't be able to appear again for hundreds of years if hit by it."

That fair hand placed the dagger on the edge of the reef:

"There is another uninvited guest in the city now; find it and kill it with this dagger. As for the remaining chance to use the dagger, you can take it to deal with anyone."

Xia De's pupils shrank slightly:

"Wait, you don't want to tell me that there is another guy in the city who is no less than Fanalius, right?"

She covered her mouth with that right hand and chuckled:

"Of course it is not that dangerous; how could I instigate you to do dangerous things?

What I said is a fool who has worn a mask for too long that it cannot be taken off, a fool who thinks he is righteous but always brings disaster. Oh, this is not a word game; it is really just a target.

You do not need to have psychological burdens; it deserved to die anyway. Go, kill the intruder, and afterward, I will tell you where one of the dragon scales you are looking for is."

"You really know..."

"Yes, yes, little boy, I know everything. The seven dragon scales are a contract between the seven great families and a certain dragon, and this also concerns the Chosen One."

Those purple eyes looked at Xia De, but Xia De only persisted for two seconds before looking away:

"That is to say, I have to use this 'Dagger of Desire' to take out the fool you mentioned, and then I can harvest the news of a dragon scale and a dagger with only one use left?"

"Your ability to name things is far inferior to your ability to deal with girls in bed."

The beautiful head in the water evaluated with a smile:

"【Madeline's Love】, this is the name of this dagger.

Madeline was really a silly girl; she also once mastered the 'Love God's Thorn' you have now, and she was also a believer of the Love God. And this dagger is a weapon of revenge forged after she died and offered her soul to me."

"Revenge? So, the target you want me to deal with is related to this Miss Madeline?"

The beautiful woman bit her lip gently, leaving a very obvious tooth mark on her fair skin:

"That was a long time ago. After Madeline was betrayed by love, she briefly became my envoy, just like this Countess now, but more capable than her. Madeline died because of her own stupidity, and I have no intention of avenging her. But since that guy was attracted here by the vortex of fate of the Whispering Chapter, I think it would be nice to resolve some past grudges."

The dagger flew toward Xia De automatically. After Xia De held it, he found that the crystal dagger was actually very warm. This weapon had both miracle and whisper elements; it was indeed a forbidden creation made by 【Desire】 through a mortal soul.

Similar to the perfume bottle, it could be classified as a relic derivative of the unknowable-level relic 【Desire】, but clearly, this dagger was much stronger than the small perfume bottle.

"Solve it, go and manifest your justice, interesting soul. Complete this task before the seventh Chosen One holds the ceremony; believe me, this is also good for you."

"Please wait a moment!"

Seeing that head move horizontally backward in the water, Xia De called him again. The purple eyes looked at Xia De with a smile, waiting for him to speak. Xia De thought for a long while before asking:

"Am I... already corrupted by you? Not long ago, on a very inappropriate occasion, I actually had very inappropriate thoughts about a very inappropriate target."

This refers to walking with the gods in the desert.

"Although you basically provided no information, I know what you want to express."

The pink tongue licked her red lips, the head in the water lowered slightly, but the purple eyes still looked straight at Xia De:

"Desire is something that humans or guys similar to humans are born with. Do you know? I am a bit angry; you clearly just had more strange thoughts in your own heart, but you attributed it to me.

If you cannot understand, then my mood now is like a beautiful girl shyly telling you that she reached the peak because of you, but you actually did nothing."

Because this example was too straightforward, Xia De subconsciously felt that he had really said something very excessive:

"So, hmm... should I say sorry? I was probably sun-dazed at the time."

"Heh~ men."

The beautiful head moved horizontally backward in the fog. Seeing the expression on Xia De's face at this time, she smiled and disappeared into the depths of the thick fog.

Then those strange mists dissipated rapidly in just a few dozen seconds. Under the sky covered by black mist, the slightly dim distant view of Moon Bay Port unfolded before Xia De again. A few seabirds flew from afar and landed at the end of the reef to rest; they would never know what had been here just now.
