Chapter 2441

The kiss ended, and Bella Berinder, who had been watching Xia De the whole time, continued to watch him. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she did not speak.

Xia De, however, still had very important things to tell her:

"Do you remember the golden light that flew in from outside the city this afternoon? That was the final power left by the descendant of the fourth child of the ancient god, which was the insurance left behind after the dragon defeated by the ancestors of the seven great families died."

He briefly described the general situation and finally mentioned the final effect of that blessing:

"I now seem to possess the legal right to rule Moon Bay."

The Great Witch of Fate was not surprised at all:

"The legal right of the ancestors and families to rule this place came from the recognition of the divine descendants. But that recognition only lasted until the prophecy of Moon Bay's destruction was fulfilled. Now that the prophecy has been fulfilled, we have also completed our mission and passed down the seven dragon scales, making the Chosen One ceremony successful. Since the mission is over, the power naturally disappears."

"You knew this all along?"

Xia De was a bit surprised. The blonde countess pursed her lipstick-painted red lips, but a smile appeared:

"Of course, because I am a diviner. I can see fate, Xia De. Although what I see is neither complete nor clear, I know that no rule can be eternal. Now the seven great families can move to lands outside Moon Bay at will, and there is no longer fate helping the families remain prosperous for long or always occupy a ruling position.

This is a new beginning for everyone—a brand new Moon Bay. Yes, destruction brings rebirth."

"If that's the case, take this."

He took out an envelope, pulled out the letter inside, and handed it to the witch. This was something he had written just before leaving the bedroom; Matilda had brought high-quality paper and ink, and Tifa had flattened the table and prepared a fountain pen before Xia De wrote it.

【Due to my busy schedule, I hereby entrust Miss Bella Letia Berinder and her subordinates to manage Moon Bay on my behalf. This entrustment is effective from today and remains valid until the entrustor actively revokes it in writing.】

【Xia De Surun Hamilton】

【Sixth Era, 10th of the Month of Flowers, 1854】

"Your middle name was told to me by Matilda."

Xia De said. The countess looked down at the entrustment letter in her hand, then looked up at Xia De. Her eyes, painted with light eyeshadow, were a bit red:

"How can I repay you for this?"

"In the long run, you are definitely mine; if we only talk about now, how about another kiss?"

He proposed, and then his lip was bitten by the next kiss. If there weren't so many people here, Xia De even felt the countess would have pinned him to the deck to kiss him.

After a short while, Miss Berinder, knowing she had been very unseemly, covered her face and returned to the cabin to touch up her makeup. Xia De, who had wiped off the lipstick mark and let his lip swelling subside, found Miss Feilianna, who was talking to Miss Aurora and Miss Galina.

The blonde lady in a purple dress stood by a long dining table covered with a white tablecloth, gold and silver utensils, and a sumptuous feast. Under the ambiguous silver light spots and the moon, her beauty had an indescribable stunning quality.

But Xia De knew it was inappropriate to praise Miss Feilianna's beauty on such an occasion, so he just smiled and said:

"Good evening, Professor Feilianna. You saved me once again, just like back then."

Seeing Xia De walk over, the witches stopped their previous conversation.

"Judging from the process of that battle, no one saved you; you had already solved the biggest trouble."

She said with a smile, looking toward the direction of the cabin entrance behind Xia De:

"That girl is really enthusiastic."

Galina and Miss Aurora giggled on the side, and Xia De explained things like the "legal right to rule Moon Bay."

"So, you gave her a territory, did you? This way of doing things is very much in the style of the witches of our time."

Miss Feilianna commented this way, so Galina and Miss Aurora, who realized how "generous" Xia De had been, couldn't laugh anymore.

The demigod witch ignored their dramatic facial changes, turned around, and picked up two wine glasses from the long table—instead of using miracles to make them float—examined Xia De carefully, and then handed one of the glasses to Xia De:

"Since we are talking about gratitude. Xia De, if you want to thank me, have a drink with me."

Inside the wine glass was deep red wine.

"Of course, it is my honor."

The two clinked glasses, or rather, Miss Feilianna unexpectedly took a sip from her own glass first, leaving a clear lip print on the rim. Then she rotated and slightly tilted the tall glass, touching the rim with the lip print to the rim of the glass in Xia De's hand.

She looked at Xia De with a smile, clearly waiting to see Xia De's reaction.

Xia De blinked:

"Then, for our reunion, Miss Feilianna, cheers."

Before he could drink the wine, Mana Feilianna grabbed his wrist, the curve of her lips becoming more obvious:

"No, no, Xia De, do I even need to teach you how to drink?"

Golden eyes stared at him, and Xia De had no choice but to twist the glass with his fingers, rotating the rim touched by the lip print toward himself.

Miss Feilianna was then satisfied:

"Cheers, Xia De."

She also rotated her glass so that the side with the lip print faced her again, and then drank the wine together with Xia De.

Miss Aurora and the red-haired Grand Duchess on the side exchanged glances, and then... they just watched them drink.

A glass of wine down, it could be considered a formal expression of their joy for their reunion. At least Miss Feilianna looked quite satisfied:

"It seems you have recovered quite well. Xia De, before you came just now, we were talking about the Witch Council."

Xia De's first reaction was Miss Isabella's matter, but unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

"The Speaker already knows that Miss Feilianna hasn't left."

The Witch of Light with long brown wavy hair explained:

"After you fell asleep in the afternoon, many people saw the scene of Miss Feilianna returning to the Radiant Messenger with us. It should have been covered up with illusions, but in fact, everyone could guess who had invited this lady again."

"It doesn't matter if they know, but how did you explain this to the other witches in the council?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Galina, wearing a small silver crown, replied:

"How else could we say it? Miss Feilianna was brought by the 'God-Caller,' so after the God-Caller woke up, she left with the God-Caller. However, we also said that the God-Caller was very satisfied with this cooperation, so Miss Feilianna might contact us a few times later to answer some of our questions."

This was to prevent the lady in front of them from really being willing to reveal secrets about the Fifth Era, while the witches who knew the truth could not reasonably pass the secrets to the council.

"You handle the council's affairs; I trust you. Oh, Miss Feilianna, Fiona said just now that you are going to stay here for a while; is that true?"

That red dragon girl was also on the deck, but she was with Tifa and Matilda.

Seeing Xia De looking at her with great anticipation, the golden eyes of the witch in the purple dress also looked at him with a gentle smile:

"Why, is your home big enough?"

"Of course, although it certainly doesn't have the living standards of St. Byron, it's at least enough for you and Fiona to stay."

She nodded while holding her wine glass, as if considering:

"If that's the case... let's stay for about a week. You don't need to treat us specially; just be the same as usual. Fiona and I just came to see your life and see the cities of this era. If there is time, we can also go see the current St. Byron—of course, this matter is not important.

Of course, I hope this doesn't disturb your life."

"Of course it won't disturb me. I am so happy that you can come to me and appear before me!"

Xia De had even started planning in his heart which bedroom in his home to give them to live in.

On the eve of the Moon Bay battle, he was just thinking about how to get more helpers to fight against the god who devoured giant dragons, but he never thought that Miss Feilianna and Fiona could really come to this era and live with him for a while.

Miss Feilianna could of course see Xia De's joy, so she hugged him again while holding her wine glass:

"Do you know? Fiona and I are just as happy. Xia De, we finally met again."

As for little Mia on Xia De's shoulder, she was not in a hurry to eat, but sniffed at Miss Feilianna and then let out a "Meow~," clearly recognizing who this was.

This cat's memory seemed quite good.

"Xia De, do you know about the Dragon Island matter?"

Galina just twitched the corner of her mouth at their hug, and after the hug ended, she asked about serious business, which was also a troublesome matter.

"I know, I knew a long time ago. A folklorist friend of mine told me that with the appearance of the seventh Chosen One, the giant dragons that migrated to the ocean and hid in the Fifth Era will also return to the material world.

Fiona just told me that those giant dragons really appeared after I fell unconscious?"

He shook his red wine glass.

"There are no longer ancient dragons in the true sense in this era. After the dragons on Dragon Island reproduced for several generations, their power has also degraded a lot in the current Sixth Era."

Miss Feilianna said, looking like she understood the situation better than everyone living in the Sixth Era:

"They were temporarily scared back by Fiona. Although Fiona is only thirteenth-tier and thirteenth-ring, she can also be considered the most powerful dragon at present."

"When Iluna sent a letter two hours ago saying she couldn't attend this banquet, she also mentioned the news from there."

Galina added, the starlight and moonlight floating on the deck also making her look even more beautiful and moving:

"The church and the academy have already landed on the island to negotiate with those giant dragons. Although the power of the seventh Chosen One is now sealed, and he is unwilling to take the initiative to contact the church forces, fortunately, there are still enough thirteenth-ring human forces at present to suppress those giant dragons that have not appeared in the material world for a long time."
