Chapter 2295

"Very simple, no problem."

Dorothy nodded, and Luweiya then said to Miss Galina:

"After I leave Tobesk, only you will be left by Xia De's side. Although Tobesk and Moon Bay don't have much to do with each other, please take good care of Xia De while you stay here."

"That goes without saying."

The duchess also nodded, and Xia De complained:

"Why does it sound like I'm a child?"

Luweiya didn't pay any attention to Xia De's complaint:

"Xia De, you go to Moon Bay early tomorrow morning as the target of the 【One-Shot Kill Pistol】. By the way, notify the witches in the manor. Belindell Manor should have defensive measures to prevent 'illegal intrusions' like mine; remember to have them stop the ritual temporarily."

"Okay."

Xia De also nodded, and then felt that Luweiya, who was arranging everything so majestically, was inexplicably... cool. That was the only adjective he could think of for the moment.

"There's one last thing."

The purple-eyed girl said again, but this time there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes looking at Xia De were also filled with smiles:

"If I remember correctly, you used up your perfume bottle again last Sunday, and now that bottle hasn't even recovered a third of its liquid?"

"Yes, you didn't see the situation at the time. Any spellcasting in dragon form is more powerful, but the consumption is also greater."

The three ladies looked at each other and all laughed:

"Then you'll have your hands full tonight. To cope with the potential crisis, and since your Metamorphosis-Dragon and Moonlight Ring-Giant Form consume a lot of spirit... put Little Mia in the wardrobe or give it to a maid. Don't do any experiments this time."

Xia De blinked, looked at the bedroom with the door open, and nodded gently.

As the night deepened, the last of the busy maids were already preparing to rest at No. 6 St. Theresa Square.

Unlike the floors above, the first floor wasn't divided into two separate rooms but was one large residence. Therefore, although there were many maids who took care of Miss Galina daily and assisted her with government affairs, putting eight single beds in the master bedroom and five or six single beds in the two large side bedrooms was enough for them to rest.

Tifa was away, so Miss Martha Scott, with her long black curly hair, temporarily took over the duties of the head maid. She was the last to return to the room, but after turning off the lights, she found that the other seven were not yet asleep.

"Not asleep yet?"

Although there was no light in the room, the "dark vision" of the witch's followers was quite good. She just made a slight mouth shape, and the others understood. Then, the young girl with straight brown hair in the next bed pointed toward the floor above, and everyone showed ambiguous expressions.

The night in Tobesk was always so deep. By the time the cat in the bedroom wardrobe curled up and fell asleep in the makeshift cat bed made of Xia De's old clothes, and the girls on the bed were either holding Xia De's arm or leaning in his embrace to sleep, the ritual Xia De had arranged in the bedroom before going to bed began to glow faintly under the bed.

Of course, they all knew Xia De had arranged a ritual and had followed Xia De's request that only he could use a pillow tonight—the red crescent-shaped ornament was under the pillow. He was worried that if he didn't see Him, the girls would see Him instead.

So when Xia De also fell deeply into a dream, the ritual array on the floor gradually glowed with a faint light, and the red crescent under the pillow also flickered slightly.

Not only that, Xia De had also impulsively placed the three "key slabs" that opened the 【Silver Moon Library】 under the bed, and at this moment, the three slabs were also dyed red by the light of the ritual.

However, Xia De in the dream didn't encounter anything strange. The vast deep blue starry sky was above his head, and he stood on that familiar endless field, looking up at the huge silver moon disk and the stars.

A gentle night breeze blew, and Xia De, feeling relaxed, asked suspiciously:

"So, did this fail?"

"She" smiled gently:

【Perhaps you should walk around nearby instead of just staring at the moon.】

"That makes sense."

It wasn't that Xia De hadn't tried walking around in this Silver Moon dream, but no matter which direction he walked in the past, this scenery that brought him peace of mind was always unchanging. Sometimes he even felt that he would sooner or later create a new Mystery Lock based on this dream.

But this time, after just walking a few dozen steps in a random direction, a gloomy little forest appeared ahead.

All the trees in that forest had no leaves, and the branches were clawing like the thick, crooked fingers of an evil witch in a story.

The Outsider in the dream realized that something had invaded his peaceful dream. Having developed the habit of using the miracle 【Moon Dream】 to restore his state before going to sleep, he felt that he was fully capable of banishing this forest and the scenery behind it, but he didn't do so.

He looked down at his attire, and his slightly casual clothing changed into a formal black suit, and the hickey marks on his shoulders and neck disappeared. The tie that appeared with his imagination originally had several Little Mias jumping on a black background, but Xia De felt this was very informal, so he changed the tie back to a normal, patternless look.

After entering the forest, the huge silver moon above his head, which seemed to have been following Xia De, was dyed blood-red bit by bit.

And as he walked silently through the forest, he clearly felt that he was entering the crack between the dream and some strange realm.

Soon, a small clearing appeared in the forest of dead trees. In the clearing stood a not-very-large round stone table, and on each side of the table was a red wooden armchair that looked as if it had taken root in the ground.

"The scene is really small. I thought it would be a castle under the moon."

Xia De muttered softly, straightened his tie, and then walked over.

There was nothing on the stone table, and there was no one else around the stone table, so Xia De randomly chose a chair and sat down. Then he tapped the tabletop lightly with his finger, and the layer of dust disappeared, revealing the star map of the three moons across the sky depicted on the round tabletop.

Xia De looked carefully at this star map, which looked more like a ritual array, and then looked up at "Mr. Bernhardt" sitting opposite him and said:

"Why do you have a wine glass, but I don't?"

"Mr. Bernhardt," dressed in a red formal suit, held a red wine glass and raised an eyebrow:

"This is your dream, and I am the guest invited by you. Why should I provide a wine glass for you?"

This was truly very reasonable, so Xia De reached out, watching cracks appear from his fingertips, and golden light marks spread over his whole body bit by bit.

He didn't care about his current "Divine Radiance" state, but used his right hand to pull a wine glass out of thin air as well. After placing it on the table and watching the red liquid level inside rise bit by bit, he clasped his hands together and looked at the vampire across the table again:

"I'm actually very surprised that you were really willing to come and see me."

Even he himself was surprised by his calm tone at this moment.

"Why be surprised? We don't have any fundamental conflict, and besides, haven't you been helping my believers all along?"

There was no wind in the forest of dead trees under the red moon, and both their voices were very clear. "Mr. Bernhardt" said, extending his right hand holding the wine glass, and Xia De also picked up his wine glass and clinked it against the other's above the round table with a *duang~*.

"What you should be thinking about now is, why would I help you?"

The vampire in red asked, and Xia De drank the red wine in his dream:

"You shouldn't ask what chips I can offer, but what I can give. Let's get this straight: Grace and Helen are not for you."

The vampire sneered:

"Why do you think I would still want the wine you've already tasted? That wine has already been 'polluted' by you; my taste isn't that bad. Besides, you already won their ownership during that time at Sikal Mountain, and I wouldn't break my word."

Xia De didn't know that the other party was thinking about being scared away by the "cat" guarding the Red Butterfly sisters afterward.

"Since you've come into my dream, you must have already thought about what you want me to pay. Speak, we can talk about it."

Xia De put down the wine glass, and "Mr. Bernhardt" also put down the glass. With both elbows on the stone tabletop, his slender and long fingers curled one by one, and then he clasped his hands together:

"I know what you want to do. I should say you are very wise; the nameless eldest son of the Ancient God is indeed worth treating with caution. To summon me, you need at least three symbols of the vampire, a suitable divine descent vessel, and the prayer and calling of ten believers to me. This is the minimum requirement."

Compared to the god-summoning ritual in the lake at the foot of Sikal Mountain last year, the requirements for this ritual were indeed very low. But holding a ritual didn't mean He would definitely come. A god-summoning ritual was equivalent to "opening the door" and "writing a letter"; as for whether there would be a response, that depended on His own will.

"Speak, what exactly do you want?"

Xia De was prepared to pay a drop of divinity, or even multiple drops. After obtaining the divinity attached to the "nameless flesh" in the ancient battlefield from the depths of the ocean, Xia De now had three drops of divinity.

One drop was used for the promotion from the seventh to the eighth ring, and one drop was used for his own combustion. If the other party wasn't satisfied with one drop, Xia De also planned to use the 【Blasphemous Cross】 to find a way to get another drop, and then satisfy His needs.

But facts proved that the Outsider had not yet finished the path of twelve divine sublimations and still didn't understand gods:

"What do I want? What meaning do wealth and power in the material world have for an existence like me? My request is: if there is a chance for a vampire to become the 'Light' Chosen this time, I don't ask you to help him, but you cannot stop him."

"Mr. Bernhardt" said calmly. At this moment, the red moon hanging above the clearing in the forest of dead trees had almost dyed both their faces red. Golden light marks pierced through Xia De's eyes, and on the familiar face across the table, the eyes were shockingly completely blood-red.
