Chapter 2378: Meris Book Club

"Grace! Helen!"

Xia De was very surprised at how they came. Grace heard the voice, turned around, and said with a sweet smile:

"Good evening, sir. Helen and I haven't seen a young unicorn for hundreds of years. Just now this elven miss said that this is a population of Saint Byron. Then maybe, we played with its ancestors in the Fifth Era."

"Good evening, sir!"

Helen in the black dress also said happily, and explained the reason for their coming here:

"Qina received Megan's letter, and only then did we know you were injured. Before leaving last time, we went to the dragon nest you mentioned to touch the statue, so we came directly. No, we cannot leave Mibao for a long time; we will go back after dinner!"

Xia De did not express an opinion on how long they could leave that place; as long as the sisters were happy:

"I'm fine, just left a scar."

"That won't do!"

Helen had a lot of opinions on this:

"This will affect your feel for us!"

They walked toward Xia De amidst the fearful expressions of the little princess and the elven miss who were shivering on the side. However, the little unicorn that finally "escaped a disaster" was obviously relieved.

"Good evening, kitty!"

Grace even greeted Little Mia on Xia De's shoulder, and the cat just "meowed" in response, so it could be said that this cat's courage was much stronger than the little unicorn... or it might be that it didn't realize what Grace and Helen were.

In short, the sisters each held one of Xia De's hands, and then licked the scar gently.

When the feeling of wenreshirun disappeared, when Xia De looked at his hand again, the blood color on the scar had disappeared, and the two scars shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, disappearing completely in half a minute.

"【Blood Sorrow】 is not as strong as us! Even before meeting you again, sir, it was not as strong as us!"

Helen said proudly, looking like she wanted Xia De to praise her. Of course, she and Grace wouldn't say that they actually only needed to touch the scar, and didn't need to tian it at all.

"Yes, you are really amazing."

Xia De said with a smile, which was also a fact. Humanoid relics are generally stronger than other relics of the same danger level. The 【Red Butterfly Twins】, who shoulder the mission of sealing the unknowable-level relic 【Life and Death Narrow Gap】, are the strongest angel-level, while 【Blood Sorrow】 is only sage-level.

Don't say it was just the scar left behind; even if 【Blood Sorrow】 were here, the two of them would dare to break it directly.

During dinner, Grace and Helen sat on Xia De's left and right sides. Next to them were Luweiya and Miss Swift, who were not afraid of them.

Because the red butterfly misses were on the east side of the dining table, even though Emilia was also at the very end of the east side of the dining table, the little unicorn still went around to the west side of the dining table to eat during dinner. But fortunately, at least the witches didn't show too much worry about their appearance. After all, except for the owner of this house, the ladies had seen them in Green Lake.

Xia De only hoped that this matter wouldn't leave too much of a "childhood shadow" on little Liana.

After dinner, the sisters pulled Xia De to a remote corridor to talk for a while before saying goodbye to him, and then returned to Mibao with the desserts that Miss Belindel entrusted them to send to Grandma Cassandra.

Xia De also hurriedly tidied up, left the cat behind, and stepped into the vast night fog with Megan. Not taking a carriage was naturally because he didn't want to make too much noise.

"Are butterflies delicious?"

Megan asked suddenly. Xia De looked at her in surprise, but found that she was clearly smiling.

The thick fog shrouded the night sky, and the temperature dropped sharply after nightfall. Glowing snowflakes even drifted in the fog.

The snowflakes were not dense, but they were large. Xia De caught one of them casually, watching it melt in his hand, while the light on the snowflake merged into the thick fog.

"Really feel that the movement is bigger every time."

Megan said again, the scarf wrapped around the lower half of her face, and the hood of the lady's robe for avoiding the cold covered her brown hair and forehead tightly:

"Although such glowing thick fog only appears in the Moon Bay urban area, I heard that the light in the entire Moon Bay area has caused crops in this area to wither on a large scale. With Moon Bay as the center, the number of people suffering from skin diseases and mental illnesses now called 'daytime disease' in the Old Continent is increasing significantly."

She sighed slightly:

"I really don't know what will happen in the future."

"From a better perspective, at least my psychiatrist friend's business won't lack customers."

Xia De made a joke that was not funny, paused, and then said:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"Yes, it's good that you are here."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly heard abnormal noises from the alley in front, and then the two saw a "person" who was charred all over, glowing, with a stretched neck, and a glowing head hanging low and abnormally large, rushing out from the alley entrance.

"Lightbulb man."

Megan pulled Xia De's hand and avoided to the side, watching the Ringed Shushi team of five people chase out from the alley immediately after.

The Ringed Shushi in front had a Seventh Tier Ringed Circle floating behind him, and the slender rope in his hand created large swaths of darkness in the dance.

So the monster and the Ringed Shushis ran into the depths of the fog again. No one noticed Megan and Xia De, but both felt the heaviness of their hearts for no reason.

Few people would go out at night in such weather, which also led to the fact that even though it was just nightfall, there were not many shops on the street that were still lit, which was completely different from the prosperous scene Xia De saw when he first arrived in Moon Bay.

The "Meris Book Club" located in the south of the Lower City was one of the few shops that were still lit on this Wednesday night. When Xia De and Megan came here, there was only a tavern and a hotel still in business near the club. Xia De specifically went to look at the signs of the two shops and found that there was no word "Rose" before he felt relieved.

The decoration of the "Meris Book Club" was very elegant and high-end. Even in the Lower City, this kind of institution similar to a small library had to maintain the decency of a reader.

The door of the club was single-opening, with frosted glass embedded in the center of the copper metal door. The door was drawn with signs of books, coffee, and cards with raised patterns, and as for the door handle, it was a simple long strip cylinder made of golden copper at both ends.

Opened the door, and with the sound of ding-dang, the rich aroma of coffee and black tea came rushing toward them, accompanied by a little paper and ink book fragrance and warm air.

After entering the door, it was the open interior of the club. Under the gas chandelier were rows of bookshelves. The miss behind the small counter by the door smiled and nodded to the two, so Megan took off her scarf and hood and handed out the club membership card she had obtained in advance.

Behind the counter was not a wall, but a wooden cabinet-style product display cabinet. Besides books, there were actually six special card-faced Luo De cards placed in glass plates on the cabinet.

Xia De's eyes were attracted at once. Fortunately, he still remembered to do business and did not linger in front of the counter to see how the local shop's "inventory" was.

There were not many guests in the library. The first floor of the three-story building had a total of less than ten people, and most of them were staring intently at the books in their hands.

The meeting place Xia De and Nadia Lady agreed on was on the second floor, but it was still early, and that vigilant miss had not arrived yet. So Megan suggested separating from Xia De temporarily, and the two went to look around the library to determine the situation here:

"Of course, you can also go to the counter to see the Luo De cards sold here. Although they are only special card faces without special rules, they should also be able to arouse your interest."

She said this deliberately, and Xia De, in order to prove his "innocence," pointed upward actively:

"I'll go to the second floor to take a look; don't underestimate my determination when doing important things."

Megan seemed to smile very happily.

The second and third floors of the club required a higher-level membership status to go up. The second floor was still lined with bookshelves, just providing a row of long tables by the table for people to sit down and copy books. The third floor was half bookshelves and half divided into more than ten soundproof compartments, allowing people in need to talk in them.

Xia De went to the second floor after separating from Megan, just as he said.

He had no special purpose, just walking around among the bookshelves, occasionally stopping to look at the words on the book spines.

The books here were all in Kassenrick language. Although the library was not large, the categories of books included were quite comprehensive. Xia De walked and walked, and suddenly wanted to see if there was Dorothy's "Hamilton Detective Story Collection" here.

But after looking around in the popular fiction area, he couldn't find it. He could only comfort himself that maybe this library hadn't included the newly translated novels yet.

Continued to walk aimlessly among the bookshelves, until his eyes swept across the bookshelf, and on the "Philosophy" category bookshelf, he actually saw a book "Love and Rose," with the subtitle in small letters "Rose and Mermaid in Popular Culture."

"Oh?"

Xia De was hooked at once, so he reached out and pressed the top of the book spine with his finger, pulling the book out. The night outside was filled with thick fog and snowing, so this warm and comfortable library was more suitable for killing time by reading books.

But just when Xia De took down the book with the title in gold, the book at the same position on the opposite bookshelf, which was just leaning against this bookshelf, was also taken down by another person.

Therefore, the two people in different aisles saw the person on the opposite side through the gap between the books.

The top of the head was very bald, with only fluffy stubble left. The skin was dark, and the double eyelids of the two eyes were extremely severe. Although Xia De couldn't see the whole body of the person on the opposite side due to the bookshelf, the person was wrapped in a rare brown old-fashioned robe that people in desert areas often wore.

Xia De was stunned, and then said softly:

"Mr. Sean Asmont?" ===== CHAPTER 2379 =====
