Chapter 2448: Time and Fate

"Xia De!"

Emilia suddenly shouted.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

A certain light flickered in the elf girl's eyes:

"You said last time you would give me a 【Ye Zi of Eternal Youth】, does it still count?"

Xia De did say he would give it last time, but Emilia reacted strongly at the time and ran away. Later, Dorothy told Xia De that giving a Ye Zi of Eternal Youth to an unmarried elf was a marriage proposal etiquette in the current era, so Xia De's action at the time was extremely rude.

"Of course it counts."

Giving it voluntarily is a marriage proposal, but asking for it passively is not. Xia De took two leaves out of his pocket, which were his only remaining stock:

"Here, happy summer vacation. Emilia, we will meet again soon."

Emilia Siamonod took the emerald green leaves, bit her lip while staring at the leaves, and then suddenly stretched her head forward, her hands still wanting to hug Xia De.

Her face got closer and closer to Xia De, until she kissed Xia De's palm.

The back of his right hand leaned slightly against Xia De's lips, and his right palm was kissed by the elf. Xia De smiled and said to the shy but confused elf:

"This won't do, you are still too young."

【So, when girls want to force a kiss on you, you can completely block it as long as you want to.】

Xia De ignored this sentence, and the blushing Emilia seemed to have exhausted all her courage, lowered her head and said "Got it," then patted the little unicorn, and left with her confused friend toward the entrance of the cabin.

Suddenly she turned her head and asked:

"Xia De, if I..."

The outlander stood by the railing of the deck, looking at her under the starry sky:

"Emilia, time will tell us the answer."

Emilia was startled, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face:

"So that's it, that's what you meant. I understand, thank you for respecting me, but actually the standard for adulthood is a tradition passed down from ancient times... Time will bring me hope, Xia De, you should also rest early, good night!"

"Good night, Emilia, may the World Tree bring you sweet dreams."

The elf girl waved her hand and left with Little Liana with light steps. As for what Emilia "understood," Xia De didn't know.

He just felt a bit melancholy holding Little Mia, but he didn't leave immediately, instead continuing to stand by the railing of the deck and looking out at the sea under the moonlit night.

The deck of the "Radiant Messenger" was divided into a full nine levels. He was looking into the distance from the highest level at this time, but he was definitely not admiring the night sea view:

"Ten..."

Counting ten numbers in his heart, sure enough, new footsteps came from behind:

"Xia De, you are really a gentleman."

The blonde countess praised and came to Xia De's side:

"To be honest, just now I thought you wouldn't refuse that kiss. The sincere and green first kiss of an elf girl is attractive to everyone."

Xia De turned to look at her:

"I admit it is indeed attractive, but am I such a shallow person?"

Bella Belinder wore a thoughtful expression, then answered the question with a question:

"Then if I want to force a kiss on you now, would you refuse?"

She didn't give Xia De a chance to answer, but immediately put it into practice. And the result showed that the dragon-descendant Eleventh Tier Great Witch was worthy of being Eleventh Tier. Even if she wasn't good at fighting, Xia De still couldn't dodge this kiss.

She kissed very passionately, and of course very intensely. When she let go of Xia De's neck, panting, there were some sentiments in the starlight reflected in her eyes that made the outlander feel very heavy:

"The Battle of Moon Bay is over. Not only Emilia and the others, but you are also leaving Moon Bay, right?"

"It's not a complete departure, just won't come over so often."

Xia De corrected:

"But if I want to come, it's even more convenient to get from home to your manor than from home to Galina's manor in the southern suburbs of Tobesk."

The witch pursed her lips:

"Today Luweiya 'showed off' the 【Diamond of Hope】 to me and hoped to divine some things with me. At that time, she said the time you were leaving Moon Bay. I think Luweiya leaving is the sign that you won't appear in Moon Bay every day, I..."

She didn't continue, just looked at the young man she was hugging under the starry sky:

"I still have your Sage-level Relic 【Source of Chaos】 in my shoulder, and my injury has completely healed after coming into contact with the light of the Chosen One ritual. Before you leave, remember to take that bead out."

Xia De's eyes looked at her right shoulder:

"If you still need this bead that guides the direction, you can keep it."

"Compared to that bead, I hope you can stay. Stay in Moon Bay, stay here, what Galina can give you, I can also give you."

Bella Belinder, the countess, had the courage that Emilia didn't have to say it. She was not a green elf, nor was she the her before she knew Xia De. She knew she only had this one chance.

But Xia De shook his head slightly, looking at those golden eyes:

"Number 6, St. Derand Square in Tobesk is my home, and I am leaving Moon Bay, not because I want to leave you."

The adult girl was stronger than the underage elf, so she wouldn't shed tears at this moment. She just looked at Xia De with a sad expression:

"I knew you would say that, I knew it from the beginning. If the first person to meet you wasn't Luweiya, but me..."

This sentence seemed to have been said by more than one person.

She stopped her voice and hugged Xia De, putting her head on his shoulder, and didn't speak again for a long time.

Although the summer night sea breeze was slightly cold, this temperature didn't count for much for the two of them. Little Mia squatted on Xia De's other shoulder, looking at the night view boredly, and Xia De's voice sounded again amidst the sound of the waves:

"I have never liked using fate to explain everything around me, but please don't say Luweiya is lucky. You are a diviner, you should understand better that the gifts given by fate have already been marked with a price."

She nodded while resting on Xia De's shoulder, and the movement made the cat on the side look over with dissatisfaction.

"Actually, there are many things that I haven't mentioned to you before because the Battle of Moon Bay was imminent. Luweiya... those purple eyes are the eyes I often dreamed of in nightmares before, those eyes looked at me like the God of Death.

But after Luweiya was brought to Moon Bay by you and became familiar with me, that nightmare never appeared again. Luweiya is a very special diviner, her fate is not simpler than those Chosen Ones."

She sniffed lightly, as if sniffing the scent on Xia De:

"She has many secrets. I shouldn't have pried into other people's privacy at will, but do you know about Luweiya's affairs? No need to tell me what you know, I'm just worried that even you don't know what she is hiding."

"I know, I know everything."

Xia De said in her ear, and her blonde hair rubbed against his cheek:

"I'm not sure if you know, everything we have done, the beginning of everything, was not me taking the initiative to walk on this path, it was Luweiya who invited me last summer night, and also invited Iluna."

She finally let go of Xia De and looked at him with some surprise:

"I thought it was you..."

"No, no."

Xia De shook his head:

"Everything about the Chosen Ones and the 【Whispering Chapter】 was told to me by Luweiya. Actually, if it weren't for her, I might not have known about these complicated things at all."

The countess frowned slightly, quite puzzled:

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked, you are pursuing the Chosen Ones and completing the great prophecy of the 【Whispering Chapter】, isn't it to save the world, and then after the great prophecy ends, use the power and influence of the Chosen Ones to rule, I mean influence the world?"

"She" laughed in Xia De's ear, and Xia De looked at her in surprise:

"Of course not."

"Then what are you trying to do?"

"According to Luweiya's initial statement, she just wanted to witness the stories of the Chosen Ones. Her purpose is limited to this. As for any choices I made in the process of helping her, she would unconditionally support them."

This was not something that couldn't be said, and besides, most of the other girls knew about it.

The countess became even more puzzled:

"Witness the stories of the Chosen Ones?"

She looked up at the stars in the starry sky, and then asked a question that surprised Xia De:

"Is it that every time Luweiya witnesses a story, she can be promoted to the next level?"

"This... is this her privacy?"

Although Xia De didn't answer directly, the countess still understood the answer, or rather, she understood more things:

"If this is the case, is what Luweiya is doing to use the stories of the Chosen Ones as the basis of fate to write her own chapter of fate? This is really... unimaginable, but how did she do it?"

She didn't want Xia De to answer this question, but asked another question that needed Xia De to answer:

"Since your understanding of the 【Whispering Chapter】 all comes from Luweiya, can you briefly talk about how much you know?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"After all thirteen Chosen Ones appear, the living Chosen Ones will definitely become Thirteenth Tier. By then, a door will open, and what happens next will affect the whole world... that's about it."

The cinnabar birthmark between her eyebrows was so eye-catching even in the night, and the frowning action made the birthmark tremble.

She looked at Xia De very seriously:

"【Witch Council】 has an important mission related to this world. In the current era, only the Speaker of each generation knows what this mission is. But I am the Great Witch of 'Fate,' and the witch in this seat also inherits her own responsibilities.

There are some things I cannot tell you, but the mission shouldered by the Great Witches of the 【Witch Council】 is likely related to the ending of the 【Whispering Chapter】, and related to that so-called 'door'."

It had been a long time since anyone had talked to Xia De about the Chapter, and he nodded quite unexpectedly:

"Then do you know about the end of the world?" ===== CHAPTER 2449 =====
