Chapter 2377: Scar

The blonde maid pursed her lips with worry. She didn't care what Xia De thought of; she just knew that today's trip had brought more troubles and worries to the man in front of her.

Although Matilda was not Miss Belindel, divining the fallen long sword fragments was still very easy. The broken half of the sword fell into the Taton River. Although Xia De had injured hands, he still didn't let Matilda go into the water, but went into the water himself to fish the sword out.

Because they were worried that the church team would arrive soon, they didn't stay here long and soon returned to the Belindel Manor.

After returning, the first person they encountered was Ajelina, who was holding a stack of books and didn't know where to go. The little princess saw the abnormality of Xia De's hands at once, and then hurriedly went into the house to call someone.

Not long after, Luweiya, Megan, and Miss Eleise, who were still in the manor and on the ship, all arrived.

They blamed Xia De for being careless and pulled Xia De to go for treatment.

And after Xia De was pulled away by the ladies, Tifa appeared from behind Matilda.

The black-haired maid miss looked at Matilda's expression and fully understood what she was thinking, so Tifa put her hand on Matilda's shoulder:

"Blaming yourself for not helping, but instead dragging your feet? Don't worry, Xia De never cares about this, otherwise our little princess wouldn't be here now."

"I..."

The golden hair covered Matilda's side face. She hadn't changed her clothes after returning and was standing in the foyer of the Earl's manor in a coarse dress, which made her look out of place here.

"You feel your heart is a bit chaotic, feel that you might have misunderstood him before, and also understand what he is actually doing on weekdays, right?"

The very "understanding" Tifa said with a smile again. When she smiled, her dark brown eyes always narrowed slightly, which looked very good.

"Yes."

Matilda admitted, so Tifa took her hand:

"Let's go, let's change out of this outfit first; I feel that a black and white maid dress is more suitable for us. Tell me what happened this afternoon in a while; of course, if you need my advice, I am also happy to help you."

The courageous Matilda nodded again, and then said in a voice like a mosquito:

"He seems very worried."

Tifa looked at her with some surprise, and then showed a brilliant smile.

On the other side, Xia De, who had already come to the basement, also informed Luweiya and the others about what happened in the afternoon. He sat on a chair next to the alchemy table in the basement. Megan worriedly dripped No. 2 holy water drop by drop onto the ulcerated wounds on Xia De's hands, and even blew on his wounds from time to time like treating a child.

Luweiya waited until Xia De finished speaking before opening her mouth:

"Are you sure that is 【Blood Sorrow】?"

"My hand directly touched that sword; unless there is another holy sword relic related to blood at the sage level in Moon Bay, it must be 【Blood Sorrow】. I have heard my blood-seed friend describe the appearance of that sword: a rusty long sword with cracks and gaps on the surface; there can be no mistake."

Saying this, he also shook his hand:

"This is the evidence."

"Xia De, don't move around!"

Megan said with dissatisfaction, and then two other hands stretched out from behind her, grabbing Xia De's arms to prevent him from moving around again.

"Even by the standards of the Fifth Era, Miss Edwards, you are too... magical."

The blue-eyed ship miss on the side said, and asked Xia De:

"So the one you encountered is the Seventh Chosen One?"

"Probably, and the opponent is also a leader-level figure of 【Eternal Light】."

Xia De's brow frowned again:

"Really didn't expect it. Although I knew that investigating 【Eternal Light】 would definitely have gains, I didn't expect it to be like this. But it is also reasonable; although his young experience made him frustrated, he is still committed to pursuing justice and no longer relies on others but himself."

The only thing he didn't have time to ask was about 【Hope Diamond】, but if this relic was really in the opponent's hands, then everything made even more sense.

After all, when Xia De first arrived in Moon Bay, among the three targets suspected to be "diviners" he inquired about on Herring Street, there was Mr. Ptolemy Albert.

This first friend he made in Moon Bay was actually the end of this story. Mr. Albert's time of arriving in Moon Bay matches the death time of the blood-seed killed many years ago mentioned by Miss Rice, and Mr. Albert's identity also matches the "scalpel-level precision avoiding the fatal position" of the wounds on the deceased.

Plus, when Xia De had "some insights into guidance" for the second time and "guided a hero," it was when he was talking to this coroner outside the farm; everything was too obvious.

"Alright, the wounds are treated."

Megan said suddenly, and everyone looked at Xia De's hands. Because the holy water dispelled the power of the relic, the ulcerated flesh and blood allowed Xia De's body's super-high self-healing ability to take effect.

In just a few seconds, the wounds healed, leaving only two scarlet scars on the palms of his hands.

"This is not a permanent scar. But after all, it is an injury caused by a sage-level relic; it will probably take one or two months to disappear... I will contact Grandma Cassandra; she should be able to prepare a potion to accelerate the disappearance of the scar."

Megan said to Luweiya, and the two hands behind her disappeared.

But Xia De shook his head:

"No need to be so troublesome. I will just scrape off the skin and flesh on my palms in a while, soak my hands in water treated by my strange technique, and it will be restored before dinner, which won't delay meeting Miss Lady tonight."

Luweiya patted Xia De lightly:

"What are you saying? I would rather you have the scar than you do that."

Xia De wanted to go out before dinner, but was stopped by Luweiya. The reason she gave was that Xia De still had to meet Nadia Lady with Megan tonight, and no one knew what would happen then, so resting was better.

"I am going to find Margaret; I asked her to help investigate a person's past. I have to get the results before I can go see that 'Pious One'."

Xia De defended, and the purple-eyed miss hummed lightly:

"I am just worried that you will go see that princess, so you won't rest well."

So for the hour before dinner, Xia De went to the "Radiant Messenger," and together with Miss Aurora and Miss Eleise, met the mermaids who came to help in the twilight fog.

It was indeed not easy for the mermaid misses who wanted to avoid the church's investigation to enter Moon Bay Port, and when Xia De inquired about Miss Sandel of the Fifth Era from those misses with fish tails, they indeed had heard nothing:

"This gentleman, our history is even more chaotic than human history."

The miss who was probably the leader of this group of mermaids said. She had dark red hair, which was different from the red hair of the Cavendish family and Miss Danister.

That miss was called "Sibyl" by Miss Aurora, and her Ringed Shushi level reached the 12th Tier; she was the strongest mermaid of this era.

Miss Belindel returned with a group of maids before dinner. Xia De hadn't gone to the dining room yet when she found Xia De in the dressing room of Luweiya's room.

"Wait a minute, I'm changing clothes!"

When the Countess opened the door of the dressing room, Xia De was unbuttoning his white shirt, while Little Mia was waiting patiently in the coat Xia De threw on the soft stool, treating it as a nest, waiting for Xia De to take it to dinner in a while.

"This is my house; I don't care what you are doing."

This time Bella Belindel couldn't care about so much. The blonde Countess said while reaching out and grabbing Xia De's right hand, looking at the scar on his palm:

"Really, how can you be so careless?"

This tone was definitely not a complaint, but some heartache.

And Xia De noticed that Matilda was following behind her, just lowering her head and looking a bit different from usual, so he defended himself:

"We went out this afternoon, originally just wanting to test 【Eternal Light】, but didn't expect to directly encounter the opponent's leader. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the reason they discovered us was also because of 'The Pious One's' strange light talent."

"This kind of unexpected thing is really unavoidable, but look, aren't I fine? So, this is not my and Miss Elington's fault."

When Xia De mentioned her name, the blonde maid looked at him. And the Countess, who was quite proficient in worldly wisdom, of course knew what Xia De wanted to express:

"You, you, don't always think about speaking for others; really..."

She stroked the blood-colored scar on Xia De's palm:

"I'll go find it in the warehouse; there must be a way to eliminate this scar."

Saying this, she turned and left, and Xia De reminded:

"Did Luweiya tell you about 【Mafala's Mirror】?"

"She told me; it's also in the warehouse."

She left vigorously, and Matilda also turned and followed behind her. However, before leaving, the maid miss grabbed the door panel and looked at Xia De with some melancholy again. Xia De didn't quite understand the meaning in her eyes.

They really cared about the scar on Xia De's palm. Although Xia De himself felt that this scar wouldn't take one or two months, at most half a week to disappear, they still thought of various methods.

So when everyone gathered in the manor dining room that night, Xia De had just entered the door and actually saw Grace and Helen holding hands, curiously watching the little unicorn Liana.

And that pure white glowing little beast was shivering in front of the window at this time, looking like it wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide, and was severely frightened. It tried hard to maintain its four limbs standing, but no matter how Xia De looked at it, it looked like it was about to fall at any time.

Emilia and Ajelina were also on the side, but they didn't seem to dare to speak. Because of the Chosen One's ritual, now unless there was direct contact, there was no whisper element on the red butterfly misses at all. Ajelina had seen them in Green Lake, and the elven miss probably knew the identities of the twin sisters, so they didn't dare to "rescue" little Liana. ===== CHAPTER 2378 =====
