Chapter 2324: Whipped Cream Scones and Summoning Demons

~10 min read 1,857 words

"Meeting in the afternoon?"

Dorothy refused to go with Xia De. The blonde, green-eyed girl kissed Xia De again:

"I want to stay at home and rush the manuscript. Anyway, there's nothing to do this week. You help me ask for leave from the doctor; he will understand."

"That's no problem, but in this way, won't it just be me and the doctor meeting?"

Xia De asked while holding Little Mia.

"Yes, I wish you a pleasant chat. Remember to buy some whipped cream scones on the way home at the Betty's Coffee Tea Room in the north of the city, thirty pieces. When Rixia attended the tea party of noble ladies yesterday, she heard the daughter of Marquis Bonan say that the snacks there are delicious."

This kind of thing could actually be done by the maids, but Xia De was indeed on the way, so he nodded and agreed:

"Are thirty snacks a bit too many? To share with Rixia?"

Dorothy looked at him in surprise:

"What are you saying? Rixia and I both like to eat desserts using each other's bodies, so we won't feel guilty. Even if Rixia wants to eat with her own body, she won't let you send it to Yodel Palace; she would just let the servants buy it. She cares about you very much."

"Buying so many is to let you bring some to Angelina. She hasn't been to Karsenrik, and Rixia is worried that she won't adapt to the eating habits there."

But from the current situation, Angelina is very adapted to the food there, and because there are Emilia and the little unicorn, she is living quite well. Yesterday she even started to worry about her weight.

"No problem, whipped cream scones, right? I will bring them back."

After speaking, the Outsider inexplicably felt that his current life was truly fulfilling and satisfying, so he hugged Dorothy again and directly picked her up:

"Let me try... You haven't become heavier, please rest assured."

"Who told you this?"

The writer lady smiled and hammered Xia De's chest, looking at him at close range, and then suddenly kissed the corner of his lips. And when Xia De asked what this meant, she ran away with a smile.

In short, the only people who appeared in Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic that afternoon were Xia De and the doctor himself. Little Mia was brought out by Xia De again. This time it wasn't to avoid disturbing the weekly cleaning of Galina's maids, but to avoid it disturbing Dorothy who was rushing the manuscript.

But if you think about it carefully, even if it was left behind, this cat would probably just lie on the windowsill and nap until Xia De returned, so it seems it wouldn't have mattered if it wasn't brought out.

"It's just the two of us this time. Do you have anything to say? I know you've been very busy lately. If there's nothing, just go back."

It had been a week since he saw the doctor, and his complexion looked very good. After devouring the demon of misfortune - Fanalus, the doctor officially began to prepare for promotion to high ring. However, this was not particularly troublesome. The ancient demon gave him a lot of power, and the continuous hunting of demons in the past year also allowed the doctor to accumulate a large amount of precious materials.

"Of course I have nothing."

Xia De leaned on the soft sofa. Here at the doctor's, he always felt that he could temporarily throw away most of his worries:

"I've been busy with Moon Bay recently. Did you see the abnormal celestial phenomenon last night? It's even more serious over there."

The doctor clicked his tongue in wonder:

"The curtain merchants over there will probably make a fortune. However, now that abnormal phenomena directly affect the entire material world, things over there should be ending soon, right?"

"Tomorrow at the earliest, no more than half a month at the latest."

Xia De sighed, then stroked the cat lying on his lap to relieve the depression in his heart.

"Then do you need me to help? After finishing the summer exams, I have nothing else to do recently besides the patient's affairs and promotion."

The doctor asked enthusiastically again. Xia De thought about it and didn't stand on ceremony with him:

"But you can't use the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 for a short time, right?"

The doctor immediately laughed:

"I am different from before now. Fanalus's power helped me gain more abilities I didn't have before."

"If you need my help in Moon Bay, I will give you a special mirror. Then at midnight, find a remote crossroads, place the mirror on the ground, turn left three times and right three times around it, and finally call my name three times to the mirror."

"Oh, remember to call my full name. Also remember to tell me the time in advance. I will find a mirror in advance and wait in front of the mirror. In this way, I can appear in the mirror in your hand from any mirror, and then walk out of it. This space movement method is very safe, except for the harsh time requirements, it has almost no shortcomings."

Xia De looked at him in surprise:

"Does this sound a bit like a method of summoning demons?"

The blue-eyed middle-aged psychologist did not comment on this sentence:

"The ability to travel through mirrors comes from the stone mirror demon - Goethe that appeared in Randall Valley, and then through the essence of the labyrinth demon - Yaru in Green Lake, further strengthening the space power. The power of Fanalus recently 'ignited' this talent, so I can do this."

After speaking, he laughed again:

"I also learned a good ability, look."

After a crisp explosion that was not very loud, the doctor was shrouded in a black mist and a few scattered crow feathers. The black mist dissipated, and on that single sofa, there was only a black crow left:

"My newly learned transformation technique, Xia De, what do you think?"

The crow asked.

"Meow~"

The cat that was woken up called to him unceremoniously. Little Mia was not afraid of this small-sized bird. Xia De immediately patted the cat's little head, letting it be more polite:

"Looks good, is this also Fanalus's power?"

"Yes."

Saying this, the doctor turned back into a human and sat on the sofa again:

"I originally thought that I could rely on its power to explore how to get better luck. But the power of that ancient demon is too huge, and I have only mastered the fur now. Besides transformation, I also learned some simple curses that can make other people's luck worse."

"Misfortune curse? This belongs to a relatively high-end curse. I recently learned a heart curse. Since we are talking about luck, doctor, have you asked Luweiya how to make luck better?"

The doctor made a helpless expression:

"Of course, I asked a long time ago. She said that diviners can indeed affect fate, but it's only a small adjustment. And playing with fate will definitely be countered by fate, so she doesn't suggest I do this, otherwise, I might encounter worse things... Judging from many years of experience, this statement is completely correct."

The doctor's luck problem is fundamentally related to demons. Both he and Xia De believe this is a fact, so wanting to change bad luck is probably not something that can be done in a short while.

Dr. Schneider didn't want to talk about this topic and turned to say:

"I have gained a lot of knowledge from Fanalus, not all of which is demon knowledge. When you have time, bring your 【Malphas Demon Book】, and I will write down the knowledge you can contact. There are some very interesting rituals and wonders in it, you can learn them if you are interested."

"Then at Fanalus's place, is there any knowledge like 'Demon King'?"

Xia De asked again, and the doctor looked at him in surprise, then shook his head:

"Yes, but we won't discuss this for now. Even if I am promoted to the ninth ring, it is only the beginning of the high ring. Now is not the time to explore those."

Xia De nodded and didn't ask more:

"Then what about the Sword of Light? That day on the Big Ben of Belindell, that crow clearly recognized the sword Emilia was holding."

"There is new information about this. Knowledge from ancient existences like Fanalus is the most valuable. It has encountered or heard of the holder of the 'Sword of Light' many times in the past. There are two ways to use this sword. One is to use the holy sword, which you mentioned to me; the other requires experiencing trials and getting the sword's approval."

Xia De became energetic:

"Doctor, please talk about it in detail. I really haven't heard of trials or anything."

The doctor shook his head:

"I didn't inherit all the demon's memories, otherwise you should doubt whether I have become a demon. I just know that if you want to permanently get the sword's approval, you have to go through a series of trials. This is a sword-pulling ritual. Once the ritual is completed, you are the permanent holder of that sword."

Xia De thought of the "Star Sword Stone" he learned from the four dragon scales, and he probably knew the function of this relic.

"Also."

The doctor continued:

"I mentioned to you last time that the primary form of that sword is white light, and then it evolves into different colors according to the user's own evolution, which is the second form, and the final form is turning into light itself. But in fact, at the same time, it is possible for two swords of light to appear."

"What?"

Xia De's voice was a bit too loud, and it disturbed the cat napping again. However, although it was still dissatisfied, it didn't call to Xia De, just changed its posture and lay down again.

Xia De's brows were tightly locked:

"Doctor, according to what you mean, is there more than one Sword of Light? No, I'm really confused. You mean, the Sword of Light is a conceptual existence."

The doctor nodded with a smile:

"Yes, you really understand. That sword of justice, sword of dragon, sword of light, are artifacts shaped by the Ancient God with his own body and power. Its existence itself is reflected in all the holy swords born after its existence. Of course, it is a conceptual existence. If you meet the requirements, you can pull the sword. If two people meet the requirements at the same time, then two people can hold the 'Sword of Light' at the same time."

"However, this situation shouldn't happen, right? Even in Fanalus's memory, the situation of two 'Swords of Light' appearing in the same era doesn't necessarily happen once in an era."

"Ha, don't say that. Once you say that, it's very likely that this situation will really happen." ===== CHAPTER 2325 =====
