Chapter 2366
"This... everyone is busy, and I don't like anyone to serve me. And now it's different from the Fifth Era; they don't have such great power either."
Xia De in front explained this, and the girl behind snorted:
"What you can't get can only look back, but what you get, you don't know how to cherish. That pair of Red Butterfly sisters who were sheltered by Miss Feilian came first, and I came second. Do the witches of this era have no sense of crisis at all? Luweiya told me that the pair of butterflies have already climbed into your bed. Have they not reflected on their so-called reserve yet?"
The strength of hugging Xia De's waist increased slightly, and Xia De realized that this was one of the few times that Miss Eleise and he had been alone since they recognized each other.
However, before expressing his apology, he thought of another thing:
"How did you know that Helen and Grace had met Miss Feilian... because this is their past privacy, I remember I didn't tell many people."
He was just asking casually, thinking that when Grace and Helen were summoned by Xia De when they were restless on the "edge of life and death" that day, he had communicated with them. He didn't expect that the blue-eyed girl would shut her mouth and stop talking.
Xia De, holding the reins, was surprised, and then asked incredibly:
"Wait a minute, I have a strange guess. Miss Feilian, Miss Olanod, and Fiona, the witches at the beginning of St. Byron's, lived around 3002; and when I witnessed the story of your birth in the Lightless Sea, it was already 5180.
This interval is more than two thousand years, longer than the entire Sixth Era to date... Have you met Miss Feilian?"
The girl behind just firmly leaned her body against Xia De's back:
"Your scent, compared to when you were in the Lightless Sea, really hasn't changed at all."
"So you really have met Miss Feilian!"
The first time was an interrogative sentence, and the second time was an affirmative sentence.
"Really, why are you so smart?"
The girl who is both a ship and a dragon complained softly, but did not avoid this topic:
"Xia De, do you know? In this boundless river of time, it is definitely not just us who are searching for you."
This was already the answer. Xia De knew very early on that Miss Feilian was using the "Time-Space Dragon" characteristics obtained by Fiona in the "City of Eternal Night" to try to find him, and he succeeded twice when he tried to communicate with Miss Feilian in the Witch Council using "Poetry Cards" in the "Black Fog Camp".
Because of the interval of the eras and the destruction of time and space caused by the long-haired Luweiya between the Fifth Era and the "Present World - Sixth Era", the communication between the Fifth Era and the Sixth Era is much more difficult than the time communication within the Fifth Era.
Therefore, perhaps those semi-divine witches who once established a deep relationship with Xia De have really connected with each other and looked at the Sixth Era together.
Of course, from Xia De's perspective, he cannot judge their progress, because for him, all things have already happened; that is the story of the past.
"The one furthest from me is Chloe, who lived in the early Fifth Era..."
The image of the silver-haired, short "Witch of Ice" jumped to his eyes. Xia De still remembered that when they first met in the "Silver Mountains", he helped her complete the path of the demigod and reach the peak, and he also remembered that when they were in the "Lost Forest", they embraced each other and experienced an interesting travel story by the campfire.
"I always feel that you are thinking about other girls now."
The voice coming from behind interrupted Xia De's memory of the Fifth Era, so Xia De asked:
"Do you know Chloe? Chloe Marcus Marx, demigod, and also a witch who was once in the Council."
"I have seen her name in books, an ancient demigod who can freeze time with only the power of severe cold."
The girl behind said in a low voice, but Xia De, who was familiar with using this kind of word game, understood very well that she seemed to answer the question, but she didn't mention whether she had seen the silver-haired witch who crossed time and space at all.
And this kind of side answer itself also represents the answer... Xia De often spoke like this.
He did not continue to pursue this question. He had known very clearly about time and destiny before. Sometimes getting it too clear would make him fall into a trap.
"You have waited for me alone for so many years, it's really hard for you."
He just said this, and the girl behind was obviously relieved:
"I know the story of Grace and Helen; they are the ones who are hard. I just took a nap and wandered for hundreds of years, witnessing the civilization changes of the Sixth Era. You know, compared to my lifespan, this period of time is just a blink of an eye... Although I am different from those humanoid relics with infinite lifespans, my lifespan is also much longer than all the giant dragons in this era."
"Yes, after all, your essence is not a dragon... although I have said it before, Yi... Radiant, it is really great to be able to see you in the Sixth Era, in the era I live in."
The girl behind did not answer this sentence, but pressed her side face tightly against Xia De's back. The smile she revealed when biting her lip was something Xia De couldn't see.
Afterwards, her singing came from the wind. The singing was very light, so Xia De could only hear the tune. But it sounded like a mermaid in the sea, happily praising the sun in the sunlight.
The horses in the Belindell family farm were indeed excellent. Carrying two people and running in the countryside in the north of Moon Bay for more than an hour, they only needed to rest a little and eat some grass.
The old family cemetery of the Wright family is on the outskirts of the "Poisonous Swamp" in the north of Moon Bay. Of course, the swamp is not poisonous, and the internal environment is far simpler than the "Pantanal Swamp".
And the reason why the old cemetery is far away from the city is that the entire "Poisonous Swamp" is the private land of the Wright family, and it is the most important asset of the Wright family besides a large number of steam factories in the city.
Although it is the "ancestral land" of the family, because it is far from the city and life is not very convenient, the important figures of the Wright family don't come here often. Instead, they invite friends and celebrities in the city to hunt and vacation in the manor here in autumn.
The huge manor here in the family shows the decency of the past, and the fact that they are far inferior to Eddington, Hawthorne, and Belindell now can also be seen clearly on the outer walls of the manor that lack maintenance.
The goal of Xia De and Miss Eleise is not this manor where servants and housekeepers are still active, but the cemetery not far from the manor.
The horses were tied in a small forest, and their figures and sounds were hidden by spells. The two walking together followed the path extending from the back door of the manor and soon saw the cemetery surrounded by stone pillar fence walls.
Although it is a family cemetery, because the cemetery is old, its area is not particularly small.
In the center of the cemetery is the caretaker's hut and the small church adjacent to the hut. Surrounding these two buildings are scattered ground tombs.
"The habit of the Wright family is to place coffins in underground tombs, so these on the ground are graves of family members who are not treated well for various reasons."
Xia De took the initiative to introduce, closed his eyes and listened to the heartbeat, and found that although there were two people in the caretaker's hut, the heartbeat speed was very slow, as if they were sleeping. He couldn't hear the underground tomb part, and even with the "Heart of Stone", there was no way to listen to it with the obstruction of mud.
The fence gate of the cemetery was locked with chains. After pushing the gate open, the interior was plain. And after coming to the window of the caretaker's hut, Xia De and Miss Eleise saw two men in their forties or fifties sitting at the small table, both lying on the table as if they were asleep, with wine glasses, fried beans, and scattered Rod cards everywhere on the table.
Even without reasoning, Xia De could guess what happened:
"The caretaker was bored and played cards with others, and then he fainted while playing."
"Someone came one step ahead of us? How could it be such a coincidence?"
The blue-eyed girl frowned and said, Xia De shook his head and took down the 【Angel's Right Arm】 inserted in the scabbard:
"There is nothing unusual on the ground, let's go down and take a look."
The gate leading to the underground tomb with a huge area was of course also locked, and when the gate opened, cold fog drifted out from the inside. Xia De and Miss Eleise did not take a step forward immediately:
"A huge ritual has been activated inside."
"It's not a ritual set up in modern times. It's probably a countermeasure set up by ancient ring warlocks to prevent their tombs from being robbed, but..."
Xia De frowned and felt it:
"The person who set up the ritual at the beginning was not very strong, and this ritual is really too old. Who would fall into this kind of trap?"
Whether it is the church, cultists, or the "Light-Worshipper Training Society", those who can participate in the Moon Bay incident are the elite among the elite.
"Didn't our diviner lady divine who is looking for the scales? Did she ever say that there is a fifth force looking for this thing?"
Miss Eleise asked, and Xia De shook his head:
"She didn't say, but her divination skills couldn't have missed it, unless the other party had no possibility of finding the dragon scales at all, so the divination didn't show destiny. Or, the other party has an Angel-level... no, Angel-level destiny-type items might not be able to completely block her divination. Unless the other party has an Unknowable-level destiny-type relic to cover up destiny."
Miss Eleise asked curiously:
"There are already enough high-level relics appearing in Moon Bay in these few months. Unknowable-level, and destiny-type? It couldn't be the 'Pedestal of Destiny' that the Prophet Association is looking for, right? But would a ring warlock with such a high-level relic be trapped by this kind of tomb-robbing ritual?"
【You know one Unknowable-level destiny-type relic in Moon Bay.】
"She" suddenly said in Xia De's ear, her gentle voice carrying a smile to inspire Xia De to think:
"Yes, the purpose of my first visit to Moon Bay."
