~10 min read 1,885 words

"I only said I was waiting for you in the garden, I didn't say the specific location. How did you find me?"

The black-haired girl finally asked with her back to Xia De.

Xia De took a step forward:

"I don't know either. I just kept walking forward, and then I met you without knowing it."

The blue-eyed girl then turned around, smiling and looking at Xia De under the moon, with the angel statue standing behind her:

"Back then, you were able to convince me to accept my own existence with just a mouth and a few words. Now you can still make me happy with just a simple sentence. Perhaps compared to your other powers, your mouth is actually the most powerful?"

Anqi Ilayse tilted her head slightly:

"Please greet me, Xia De Hamilton. After thousands of years, I am very happy that even with a witch by your side, you can still come to see me first. Do you know why I am waiting for you in Moon Bay? That's because I know that where there are witches, there must be you."

Xia De didn't know how she formed this "stereotype," but it clearly couldn't be separated from Miss Violet and Miss Theresa.

He thought about it, but didn't think of what to say to greet her, so he stepped forward and tried to hug her, and the smiling girl really didn't object.

"Long time no see, Miss Ilayse."

"Change the address."

"Long time no see, Miss Brilliance."

"Long time no see, Xia De."

She pushed Xia De away with a little force and looked at him up and down. The blue eyes were as deep as the ocean. Xia De saw a lot of emotions and thoughts in them, but in the end, she said nothing, just took his hand actively:

"Let's walk around in the garden. I promise to return you to those witches before the dance starts."

"Actually, it's fine to go back a little later."

Xia De said, and then left the fountain with her and turned into the path among the flowers.

The light was somewhat ambiguous. The gas lamp light illuminated this place just right, but it didn't completely illuminate it. The two walked through light and shadow. Xia De had too many things to say, but didn't know what to say first:

"So many years..."

"It hasn't been that many years."

The girl guessed what Xia De would say first. She took light steps, and Xia De felt her right hand seemed to be sweating.

"After you left, I lived for a period of time with Her Majesty Violet and Miss Theresa—oh, she later became the principal—and I also learned some knowledge. Later, I sank into the sea, just like that respectable god said, falling into a slumber like a dragon."

Her voice was really light:

"When I woke up again, it was already the Sixth Era. That was about five hundred years ago. This is not long for a dragon. I wandered in the material world for a while and figured out the situation in the Sixth Era. Before I knew it, the teacher of Bella Belindell caught my attention, and then I stayed near Moon Bay, waiting until you set foot here."

She sniffed gently:

"I didn't become a witch in the Fifth Era, but I had a ring warlock level during the learning process at Zalas. After waking up from a sleep, I am now a twelve-ring warlock. However, because I am not human myself, I am a bit stronger than ordinary twelve-ring warlocks."

"Why didn't you come to find me all this time?"

Xia De asked, turning his head slightly:

"I mean, after we parted at the cemetery, you knew I was going to the Sea of No Light for the last time. Why didn't you come to see me after that? I actually kept expecting you to appear in front of me unexpectedly at some street corner."

The blue-eyed girl shook her head with a smile:

"Actually, there's no reason, just... I wanted to create a relatively dramatic reunion method. I even thought about finding a way to arrange for you to take a cruise ship out to sea, and then meet you again at the masquerade ball on the cruise ship, and repeat what happened on the ship back then."

Xia De looked at her with a smile:

"Later, you gave up this idea, was it because it was too unlucky?"

Miss Ilayse also smiled:

"Yes, the shipwreck after the ball only needs to happen once.

I made other plans later, but none of them seemed appropriate. It just so happened that Margaret Anjou was holding a banquet, so I thought—why not meet here? Walk and chat in a remote place in the crowd, there's no need to pursue any dramatic reunion."

She exhaled slowly, as if to vent all the emotions she was suppressing at the moment:

"It's really good to see you again, Xia De."

The voice was as light as the night wind.

"Um."

Xia De nodded, and the two tacitly stopped in the shadow not illuminated by the gas lamp. The blue eyes looked at Xia De, blinked twice, and then asked softly:

"The three kisses I'm owed, can I ask for the first one now? How about as a celebration after the reunion?"

So the blue eyes, full of excitement and nervousness, slowly approached Xia De, and Xia De hugged her waist.

After a kiss, the two continued to walk in the garden holding hands. The black-haired blue-eyed girl's face was slightly red, but she was smiling, and strange emotions filled Xia De's heart at the same time.

He couldn't describe his relationship with this black-haired girl at the moment, but in short... this was a very special relationship.

"Before I fell into slumber, I saw many interesting things in the Fifth Era."

She continued to say softly:

"Miss Violet actually gave me an important task."

"Oh?"

Xia De looked at her curiously:

"What task? Does it have to do with me?"

"She said that since you can turn into a strange dragon, you can probably learn dragon language spells. So, she taught me the pronunciation of a unique dragon language spell mastered by another demigod witch, hoping that I could teach it to you when I see you."

After speaking, she pointed to herself with regret:

"Although I am partly a dragon, due to my limited talent, I cannot use that dragon language spell."

Xia De's miracle-Dragon Roar happens to be able to record a dragon language spell. Now "Calling Light Sword" is interesting, but if there is a more useful spell, it can actually be considered to replace the current Dragon Roar.

"Do you want to teach it to me now?"

Xia De asked again, and Miss Ilayse shook her head again:

"Miss Violet said that this spell is the top ability of that demigod witch, everyone can only use it once, and only you, a dragon with special talents, might be able to learn it. And you will understand what kind of ability it is when you hear that dragon language.

So, to ensure that the ability exerts the most appropriate effect at the most appropriate time, she asked me to tell you when you encounter danger."

She thought for a while:

"However, I can tell you that this should be considered an attack-type dragon language spell. So it is most appropriate to use it when encountering a strong enemy. Now I have to continue to keep this secret."

Although the weather was abnormal this summer, small flying insects could still be seen circling the lampshade of the gas lamp in the garden at night. Occasionally, flying insects would hit the lampshade, making strange sounds.

"What about later?"

Xia De asked while holding her hand and continuing to walk forward:

"I live in Tobesk now, if you..."

"No."

She shook her head with a smile:

"The god who bestows dreams on children has given me some important tasks. Xia De, I belong to the sea, and there are some things I haven't finished yet. But rest assured, at least until the matter in Moon Bay is over, I will not leave this city."

"But I don't want you to continue wandering, please allow me to use such vocabulary... What important task do you have to complete?"

"This cannot be told to you, but it has to do with strengthening the 'Brilliance Messenger'. No, essentially, that ship is not my true form, my true form is my special soul, and the ship is the carrier I rely on. Now that ship is not strong enough, I need to make it more perfect."

Xia De had an idea:

"Then are you willing to act with a witch for the time being? I don't mean Miss Belindell, the great witch of 'Light' of this generation is in the shipping business. She will arrive in Moon Bay after a while. If you are not willing to leave the seaside, then are you willing to be with her?"

Xia De really didn't want to let her continue to be alone.

"The Aurora family? Actually, I have always been in contact with her, but she didn't notice anything wrong with me, thinking I was the daughter of a rich pirate family in the Archipelago Kingdom-Kelageli. But I think it should be fine. After all, compared to ordinary people, I am more familiar with witches."

She looked at Xia De's expression with a smile:

"Look at you, as if you are afraid that I will go far away and never see you again."

"I just feel that since it was I who convinced you to accept yourself, and since it was I who convinced you to walk out of that Sea of No Light, I have the responsibility to take good care of you."

"Is that all?"

She continued to look at Xia De:

"If it's really just like this, then since I was born because of you, should I call you fa..."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Xia De interrupted her words with a violent cough very nervously:

"Don't say it, otherwise I feel I will be in big trouble."

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled because the prank was successful. Her graceful figure combined with her smile at the moment, although she claimed not to be a witch and Xia De's badge did not react to her, her appearance was actually not inferior to those real great witches.

So, the Fifth Era was really an interesting era.

The back garden of Margaret Manor is very large. Although it is not all open to the guests tonight, those locks and fences cannot stop Xia De and Miss Ilayse.

When walking in the moonlight holding hands, Xia De also expressed his worry about Moon Bay:

"You must also be careful in Moon Bay, there are many dangerous things here."

"I know, like that 'mermaid', right?"

She asked. Seeing Xia De look at her in surprise, she explained again:

"I grew up following two demigod witches after all. Although I don't have their power, saving my life is no problem... As long as there is still the sea in this world, I will not die." ===== CHAPTER 2253 =====
