Chapter 2329: Experimental Subject

After breakfast, Xia De bid farewell to the ladies at home and went to Moon Bay again. After taking the coins from the dragon altar as usual, he had just walked out of the cave outside the dragon's nest when he was choked by the thick fog outside:

"Cough, cough, what is this?"

This fog didn't just appear in the northeast of the city. In fact, the entire Moon Bay area was surrounded by thick fog this morning, and this range even included the water area near the Moon Bay Port dock.

After entering the city, the visibility of ordinary people might be less than ten meters, and one could only see the dazzling lights in all directions in the fog.

Because of this, even the carriages didn't dare to move forward quickly. The carriage was hung with carriage lamps, and the coachman controlled the horse to move forward slowly very cautiously. This speed was not as fast as Xia De walking himself.

The fog itself didn't carry elements, but a strong smell of burning and industrial waste gas. Since Xia De visited Moon Bay, he had never seen such thick fog.

The local carriage coachman explained:

"Sir, autumn in Moon Bay is a season with frequent thick fog. Although this city is not famous for steam industry, in fact, the local steam industry is also more developed than most cities in the country. This is the first time I have seen such thick fog in summer... Walk slowly, please don't worry, safety first."

Belindell Manor was going to receive guests from the Church today, so Xia De's goal was Moon Bay Dock. Because the carriage was really too slow, Xia De got out of the car halfway, and then turned into an agile cat and moved quickly on the roof.

On a Sunday with thick fog, there was no need to worry about being seen by others. And it didn't matter if it was seen. After all, it was very normal for cats to run around on the roof.

On the Moon Bay dock, sailors and workers were still working hard in the fog. The reduced visibility made the originally open sea look like it was covered by a layer of gray cloth that let light through, but it was easy to find the "Radiant Messenger" from the dock.

The time had reached 9:00 in the morning, and the girls on the ship had also woken up. And looking from the outside, the cruise ship, which was not particularly large in volume, found that the real space was still the original appearance of the "Radiant Messenger" after entering the interior.

That was the giant ship that was claimed to be the largest built by mortals in that era.

"Good morning, Xia De."

The captain's room was vast, divided into three floors by two low steps. When Xia De came, Megan and Luweiya were standing in front of the wheel on the highest floor. Then Xia De heard that Miss Aurora and Miss Elais were in the power room at the bottom of the ship cabin. The witch was very curious about the structure of this ship.

"Wait, isn't this ship driven by Miss Elais's spirit? Power room?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and Megan said with a smile:

"Yes, so the power room is useless, but that is also the original structure of this ship. If it is filled with fuel, it can still be used. Miss Elais also prepared fuel on the ship for emergencies. Xiwei is curious about the steam power system at that time. Of course, I am also very curious about this ship built in the Fifth Era."

"This ship is really big. It looks very empty even if dozens of us live in it. I walked around the ship casually before going to bed last night, and I almost got lost."

Luweiya also said with a smile.

"When in the Sea of No Light, Miss Theresa said that this ship was fully loaded with 2224 passengers and 892 crew members, but in fact, this was the number of personnel set for comfort, and more is fine."

Xia De curiously touched the wheel in the captain's room, so Little Mia ran down along his hand and squatted on the wheel with quite a sense of balance.

"This place can be completely used as a sea base."

Megan continued:

"Before going to bed last night, everyone mentioned this when chatting in the restaurant. Even if the thirteen Great Witches of the Witch Council gathered, and all the core followers arrived, this ship could completely hold them. However..."

She lowered her voice a bit:

"Before you came, Luweiya and I talked about another thing. It is very interesting that this ship is still a complete cruise ship. Except for being equipped with dozens of cannons against pirates, whether it is the ship body itself or other parts, it has not undergone too obvious transformation of witch power or Fifth Era power."

Luweiya continued:

"Miss Elais herself also said that after she left the Sea of No Light with you, she lived with the Witch Emperor for many years before falling into a long sleep. Then during her active period, there is no reason not to transform this ship. She mentioned to us herself that transforming this ship would not affect her."

Xia De thought for a while:

"This is indeed very strange... Just ask her directly to know the reason?"

"No."

Megan shook her head immediately:

"Luweiya and I already have a guess. Perhaps if this ship was contaminated with too much Fifth Era power, Miss Elais and it would not be able to come to the current Sixth Era at all."

"What happened at the end of the Fifth Era is still a mystery until now. Too many materials and records were lost at that time, as if civilization was suddenly cut off, leaving only a few fragments that constituted the Sixth Era."

"Many things that should have continued to appear in the Sixth Era did not appear again after the end of the previous era. Those Witch Emperors were more like perishing together at the same moment, and no powerful witches appeared in the early Sixth Era. I think Miss Elais can successfully open her eyes in the Sixth Era, there must be a reason, not just good luck."

Luweiya looked at Xia De, her expression very serious;

"If Luweiya and my guess are correct, she is an 'experimental subject'."

"Sorry, what?"

"Miss Violet and Miss Theresa used them to experiment on how to enter the Sixth Era to see your experimental subject. Miss Elais herself must also know this point. This experiment is most important for her cooperation. And since she doesn't mention this point to us, we can't ask ourselves, because there are too many things unknown to us, so we must be cautious."

Megan looked up at the vast captain's room, looking at the Fifth Era style decorations inside:

"She will definitely not be the only girl who successfully came to the Sixth Era. Xia De, after Luweiya and I thought of this possibility, we even suspected that those ancient witches who had met you might have many people lying quietly sleeping somewhere, waiting to wake up again at the time allowed by fate and appear by your side."

"I am also looking forward to that day."

Xia De nodded, he didn't feel surprised:

"We will eventually reunite, I understood this from the beginning. If Miss Violet and the others can exist in the Sixth Era, then when facing the very end, we will have more power."

"Xia De, do you expect them to appear, really just because you need help? Alright, alright, I won't tease you. Now it's too early to think about these, but if thirteen-ring witches and even demigod witches can appear, it will eventually be a good thing for us."

Luweiya patted Xia De on the shoulder, her purple eyes looking at him with a smile:

"Why, what plans do you have today? This kind of foggy weather is the easiest to have accidents. Are you staying on the ship, or are you preparing to do other things in the city?"

Xia De had plans long ago:

"I'll go to Margaret Manor in a while to see how Emilia and Angelina are living. Of course, it's also to visit Margaret. Since she came to the local area, except for the beginning, I really haven't been able to find time to chat and walk with her. Oh, by the way, Megan, can you help me prepare some aging potion? But don't worry, you can do it whenever you have time."

After all, Miss Gao De will come at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Even if Xia De doesn't mail the photo, the lady herself will be able to see the cat when she comes.

Megan nodded and agreed. Luweiya said:

"Then go quickly. It's fine to stay for lunch at Margaret Manor. We also have things to do on the ship. In short, before the final battle comes, find more time to accompany everyone you care about."

Margaret's original purpose for visiting Moon Bay was to show the Anjou royal family's attitude of appeasement to the citizens of Moon Bay, and to help the royal family test the attitude of the Seven Great Families, and contact other nobles in the local area.

But because of the turmoil last Sunday, all the original purposes became "representing the royal family to carry out post-disaster comfort". Because as long as this one thing was done, all the above things could be achieved.

Three things became one, but it made Margaret even busier. The sudden accident was not expected by anyone, so a lot of preparation work before visiting Moon Bay was invalidated, and many things had to be considered from scratch.

Because of the above reasons, when Xia De saw the blonde princess in the Margaret Manor this morning, she looked a bit haggard. When she greeted Xia De in the study of the manor, she cheered up a little:

"Now I really admire my father. He handles various work with such high intensity all year round. Even if there are more people around him who can help than me, I can't imagine how tired he is. Fortunately, Teacher Sylvia and Miss Lathers can occasionally come to help me, otherwise this time I would be really tired."

Besides Margaret, Emilia and Angelina were also here. The elf girl was taking care of the ornamental potted tree planted in the flower pot by the window, and "Flute of Time" was inserted in the tree. The little unicorn was lying by the coffee table eating apples, and Angelina was frowning and writing a speech on the side of the desk. The little princess's serious appearance at work was very different from usual, and Xia De rarely saw her like this.

"Angelina is also really amazing."

Margaret on the sofa saw Xia De looking at the little princess and also praised her:

"Her Karsenrik language and grammar level are not inferior to the professional writers I have seen, and her means and methods of handling things are also very sophisticated. Speaking of which, the princesses of the Cavendish family in this generation are really outstanding. I also know Rixia's level. Could it be that having many children really can cultivate more excellent descendants?" ===== CHAPTER 2330 =====
