Chapter 2383

"Xia De, I'm packed; we can go home."

Megan knocked on the study door in a good mood. After waiting for a while, the two maids inside finally opened the door.

The witch walked in with a smile, but after passing the two maids, she suddenly stopped and stepped back.

She looked at Tifa and Matilda inquiringly. The former still had a calm smile on her face, while the latter looked somewhat unnatural, her eyes shifting away, not daring to meet Megan's gaze.

So, while Megan maintained her gaze, two fair arms reached out from behind her and hugged her neck. Then, Audrey's head leaned over Megan's left shoulder and sniffed Matilda gently.

"A little reminder for you: besides using perfume and mouthwash, you should also wash your hair carefully. A witch's nose is very sensitive."

Megan said. Before Audrey retreated behind Megan, she gave Tifa a look of ambiguous meaning. Only then did Megan walk toward Xia De with a smile:

"If you are hungry, you should tell me in advance. After eating the appetizer, what will you do for the main course later?"

That night, Xia De did not throw a crystal shoe to go home; instead, he went out of the city with Megan to the Dragon's Nest, and returned home from there.

Actually, Dorothy, who was Princess Lei Qianya, had no opinion on the appearance of the twin witches and even enthusiastically asked if she had brought a nightgown.

But that Duchess clearly had a strong opinion. Taking advantage of Xia De going to the washroom, she lifted her head slightly:

"Aren't you with Bella? Why have you come to my house again?"

"Since when did you change your name to Luweiya Anate?"

Megan, who had just witnessed the "formidable" nature of the other's maids, asked back with a smile:

"If you are not Luweiya, do you have the qualifications to say that?"

Princess Lei Qianya, to the side, giggled; she loved watching such things.

However, although Miss Jia Lin Na was somewhat unhappy, she was still "reluctantly" pulled into the bedroom by Xia De that night. Of course, the sounds of "Audrey! Megan! This is unfair!" that Princess Lei Qianya heard when she was woken up in the middle of the night while lying on her side with Little Mia, and the sounds Xia De made immediately after to make them p/a, were things the little kitten definitely did not understand.

At the breakfast table on Thursday, Dorothy and Miss Jia Lin Na learned the news Xia De had gathered from Ms. Fulun the previous night. Audrey was happy that her relative was useful, but thinking that the other two ladies at the table were both surnamed "Cavendish," she didn't say anything.

She tacitly accepted that Dorothy was Princess Lei Qianya.

"The Council has prepared a relic to send me directly to Moon Bay."

The red-haired Duchess in her nightgown stated, and Dorothy nodded as well:

"Princess Lei Qianya and I can also depart at any time, but I think it is best not to wait until the very last moment. If something happens, I worry we won't make it."

"How about Saturday?"

Audrey asked Xia De, and Xia De thought for a moment:

"Nadia Fulun said the God-Descent ritual is between Sunday and Tuesday, so Saturday is fine. However, if you really have to wait three days, is your time enough?"

"Princess Lei Qianya and I are fine; we have both handled our affairs in advance. However, our 24 hours cannot be wasted. We will depart separately; I will go to the ship, and let Princess Lei Qianya stay at the manor, or we can swap."

The blonde writer remained calm.

"No problem. If I have time, I will go to pick you up; if not, I will arrange for others."

Miss Jia Lin Na hesitated for a moment:

"I didn't go to Moon Bay with Tifa this time precisely because I was worried that if a major event occurred, I wouldn't be in Tobesk. If I left a fake body behind, it would be even worse if discovered... Never mind, the Moon Bay matter is more important. Let Dorothy and the others go on Saturday; I will depart on Sunday morning."

Today was already Thursday. Although they all said they had time, they still needed to use these two days to arrange things for after they left.

After Xia De and Megan returned to Moon Bay with Little Mia, the Great Witches of Moon Bay had all gathered on the *Radiant Messenger*.

The glowing fog seemed to have become thicker. Luweiya, Sister Daifulin, Miss Yi Laisa, Audrey, Vanessa, Miss Sylvia, Miss Afurola, and Miss Beiya were all gathered, and even Iluna, who had rushed over after receiving the news, appeared.

Except for Emilia, the elf girl with a special status, none of the girls, including the witch apprentices, were allowed to attend this meeting. The meeting was held in the banquet hall of the *Radiant Messenger*. After everyone sat down, Xia De briefly recounted the current situation:

"The matter of the Chosen One is not urgent this time, or rather, the candidates this time are quite good. Now, the Keeper-level 【Star Sword Stone】, the Document-level 【Mirror of Mafala】, and the 【Higgs Dragon Head Stone】 essential for the Chosen One ritual are all in our hands; we can even say we have controlled the scope of the candidates this time."

"I have new intelligence!"

Iluna raised her hand:

"The Sage-level 【Apron of the Nameless Blacksmith】 has been found by the Church in an underground ancient ruin in the mountainous area northeast of Moon Bay. The relic was sent to the Sun Church just this morning... our church; it will definitely not be stolen."

"In this way, the 【Hafana Dragon Body Stone】 is in the hands of the Dragon Feast Cult, and the only one that hasn't appeared is the slug."

Miss Afurola summarized, and Xia De asked curiously:

"Are there any items that can capture and contain relic-type creatures? Like a small red and white round ball or something?"

"Although I don't know what you are talking about, capturing such relics requires the use of relics."

It was Megan who gave the answer:

"Rest assured, the Council has such relics. The key now is still to find the slug. According to the information Xia De provided, the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 is already looking for it, too. We don't have much time left."

"But even if we can't find it, it doesn't matter, as long as the other relics are in our hands. The 【Ointment Slug】 is a species and is not unique, but the relics we hold are all unique. Before the God-Descent ritual, protect this ship well; if it really comes to it, I will sail the ship out to sea."

Miss Yi Laisa proposed, but was immediately rejected by Luweiya:

"Have you heard? Most of those among the seven great families who tried to leave Moon Bay have encountered accidents on the road. Just as the contract signed between the seven great families and the descendants of the 'Four Sons of the Ancient God' ensured they had no chance to escape at the last moment, the Chosen One ritual and the *Whispering Poetry* also ensure that these relics must be in Moon Bay now. Of course, strengthening security is a must."

"We have sufficient manpower this time. Let Megan and Xiwei be stationed on the ship for these two days. I will also come here starting Saturday. Vanessa, find an excuse to suspend the opera troupe's performances and have the opera troupe board the ship as soon as possible."

The Great Witch of "Space" proposed, and the witch of "Earth" nodded:

"Xia De said the Chosen One ritual is not urgent, but how should we deal with the God-Descent? This is the eldest son of an Ancient God, coming to destroy this city in accordance with the prophecy left by the descendants of the Four Sons of the Ancient God, and the True Gods this time..."

Before Xia De could speak, Luweiya suddenly said:

"That is why we must gather all the power we can utilize. I called Joy Barton to help; Miss Jia Lin Na has already contacted him and Marilyn Handel."

The Countess looked at her in surprise. Only they knew that calling the failed Death Chosen One was only to deal with "Death."

"It is good that they can come. I will go to Randall Valley in a moment to have a word with the Earth Chosen One. As for the Space Chosen One, Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya will come on Saturday, and Grace and Helen can also appear at any time."

Xia De added, but the ladies looked at him. They all understood that none of the current Chosen Ones had grown to the level where they could be opponents of a god; at most, they could barely deal with evil objects beyond the Thirteenth Ring.

Finally, Sister Daifulin asked the question everyone cared about:

"Do you have the confidence to confront that god?"

The elf girl immediately widened her eyes. Although she had learned many things recently, hearing someone say such words in front of her still shocked her.

"Probably no problem. You know, I always have my own arrangements. Besides, there has never been anything with a hundred percent certainty. I can only say that according to the current plan, it is no problem; it is possible."

After speaking, he didn't give them a chance to ask questions:

"There is not much time left. Luweiya, Miss Beiya, the task of divining the last dragon scale is left to you; there must be a result."

"No problem."

Both diviners nodded.

"Miss Afurola, have the mermaid girls go to the near shore to check and report traces of evil objects being summoned at any time. You and Megan should live on the ship with Miss Yi Laisa for these two days."

"Alright."

The three ladies answered together.

"Miss Sylvia, you stay by Margaret's side for another day or two. Although the matter of the Chosen One is important, Margaret's safety is also important. If something happens to her, the situation in the Old Continent will be truly dangerous. Isn't there a banquet at Margaret's manor on Friday? At least don't leave before then.

Also Vanessa, have the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe board the ship as soon as possible; prepare for the decisive battle."

The Great Witches of Earth and Space nodded in agreement.

"Sister Daifulin, in a moment you and Iluna go to the church to communicate about the action plan this time. I don't want to see the Church people, but I need to know their plans and arrangements."

The sister nodded slightly as well.

"As for the others, the high-ring followers should be fully deployed. Besides the 【Dragon Feast Altar】, I don't believe there are no suitable ritual sites locally. In addition, prepare for a full-scale city war. Yes, this time it is a war. Even if Moon Bay falls into a sea of fire as the prophecy says, at least we must strive to change the ending of this story."

He stared at the map of the Moon Bay area spread out on the table:

"As for me, the matter of the blood-kind linking the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 still needs to be wrapped up. On one hand, I will go deep into the secrets of the cultists; on the other, it gives me a chance to contact the first candidate. And the matter of the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】... this group of people is hiding far too well."
