Chapter 2494: The Visiting Gao De

"Xia De, how are you going to handle these two umbilical cords?"

Dorothy asked curiously:

"And what use do these two umbilical cords have now? I didn't even understand the message Luweiya asked me to pass on to Princess Lei Qianya at the time."

Xia De replied:

"Two effects. First, anyone holding them can, to a certain extent, be immune to time-based effects. For example, Dorothy, if you hold this jar now, my Time Stop would definitely be ineffective against you."

The writer immediately refused:

"It's breakfast time now; I don't want to touch such disgusting things."

"Besides that, these two umbilical cords can, to a certain extent, stabilize the surrounding time. You know the effect of my 【Spatial Stabilization Aura】; these two umbilical cords can now be considered to carry a weakened 【Time Stabilization】 effect."

"Such strange things, don't they have any active abilities?"

Dorothy asked again, and Xia De shook his head:

"I didn't choose the Magic Eye or the Soul, so I could only obtain this kind of power. But if one really wants to utilize it, there should still be two methods:

Either have another candidate directly absorb this homologous power, or implant these two umbilical cords into a human body, making them a part of someone."

Both ladies shook their heads; clearly, they could not accept such a thing. As for how the two umbilical cords would be used next, Xia De had not yet decided, so he kept them at home under his care for the time being.

Thus, the topic of the "umbilical cords" at the breakfast table ended temporarily, and Luweiya thought of another matter:

"Xia De, if we can use this method to deprive the fourth candidate of the 'Time' Chosen One of their power, could we also deprive other candidates of their power? Or even directly obtain the power of the first candidate."

"Theoretically, yes, but the other party must have committed a grave error that destroys the continuity of time... Do you want me to create another 【Aikanoula - Arrow of the Chosen One】?"

The purple-eyed girl smiled and nodded:

"Of course, compared to Chosen Ones who have all sorts of troubles, it is clearly more trustworthy to have dead objects that have sealed their power."

"Actually, the Chosen Ones are still quite good. I know the previous first candidates all had problems, but isn't Mr. Aibei from Moon Bay quite normal?"

Xia De reminded her, and Luweiya was noncommittal:

"In any case, you decide everything; I am just offering suggestions."

"However, this time the Chosen One should be a woman."

Dorothy, sitting across the table, said again.

"Why do you think so?"

"Look, among all the first candidates, Balance is Yin Luna, a woman. Then Darkness's Dac Nisi, Death's Joey Barton, Knowledge's Sir Pulin, and Light's Mr. Aibei are all men. The Guardian of Earth and the one corresponding to Space, Ai Si Bo Ge, merged into one; actually, one could consider them male as well.

In this way, in the stories of the first seven Chosen Ones, six of the first candidates were men; this time, it should be a woman's turn, right?"

Dorothy's idea was very interesting; before this, Xia De had really not thought about this problem.

"But no one requires the male-to-female ratio to be one-to-one; it's just that, from a probability standpoint, the possibility of the candidate being a woman this time is higher."

Xia De explained, and Luweiya smiled and asked:

"Xia De, do you guess it will be Emilia?"

The image of the pointed-eared elf girl jumped almost immediately into Xia De's mind, but Xia De still shook his head:

"I don't think so.

You have all more or less learned about the first candidates of the first seven Chosen Ones. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, these people all had their own firm beliefs and goals they were chasing. Even a bad person like Ivan Dac Nisi, who dared to let a demon coexist with him, could be called a very formidable person. As for Emilia..."

"I know the evaluation you are too embarrassed to say out loud is 'immature'."

The writer could see Xia De's thoughts:

"That girl is very similar to Ajielina, innocent and romantic, holding fantasies and hopes for life. I actually hope they can always keep such a young mindset; this also means their lives can be smooth and peaceful. Think about it, among the first few Chosen Ones' first candidates, who didn't have their own bitter and deep stories?"

"The fate of a Chosen One is indeed not so easy to bear. I also don't really hope it's Emilia; the burden is too heavy for her."

Luweiya also nodded and said, then tilted her head and looked at the jar again:

"But what exactly could scare that pair of princes so much that they would rather erase their souls than face it? Oh, I forgot to ask, how are the infants?"

"Both are seven pounds, even smaller than Little Mia. Newborn babies aren't pretty, but Ajielina seems very happy to be a big sister again.

They don't remember anything, but Luweiya, if you want to go see them to confirm whether they have truly lost their qualifications, I'm afraid even Miss Jia Lin Na would need some time to arrange it."

"I'm not in a hurry at all. Seeing these two umbilical cords, I know you handled this matter beautifully."

Throughout breakfast, the three of them kept talking about this matter at Yodel Palace, until they finished breakfast and told Xia De about Miss Gao De.

However, Xia De was completely not nervous at this time; after all, the fact that Little Mia was still here was enough.

"Miss Gao De came yesterday, which was Saturday, before nine in the morning. Oh, by the way, we helped you ask for leave for yesterday afternoon's group meeting. Doctor Shi Nai De said your luck is truly terrible."

Dorothy, having untied her apron, came from the kitchen to the living room with a smile still on her face:

"Yodel Palace had already been sealed off by nine o'clock yesterday morning, and Luweiya was also at home trying to find a way. But before knowing about the time loop, her divination was of no use."

"So you all met Miss Gao De, right?"

Xia De asked curiously while holding the cat, and they both nodded:

"Of course, she was a quite beautiful blonde girl, looking about twenty-three or twenty-four years old."

Saying this, she also touched her own hair, which was also blonde. Luweiya sat down on the short sofa to the side:

"It was drizzling all day yesterday. When she appeared at the front door with an umbrella, she gave both Dorothy and me a fright. That Miss Mia Gao De was about the same height as me, and her eyes were light brown, or perhaps bright yellow. She was very beautiful and had a very warm temperament.

Miss Gao De was very easy to talk to. We said we were your friends and then told her you were at Yodel Palace, and she let Little Mia lie on her lap and talk to us, and then..."

"Wait a minute! Little Mia was willing to be close to her?"

Xia De asked. Luweiya had long guessed that Xia De would ask this, so she smiled and said:

"She was sitting in the position you are sitting in now. Originally, Mia was standing on the back of the sofa, but when Miss Gao De sat down, it naturally ran onto Miss Gao De's skirt and lay down, just like Little Mia's movements now."

Xia De looked down at the cat; the cat had a lazy look after finishing breakfast. Then he imagined that more than twenty hours ago, Luweiya and Dorothy were also talking to the person sitting in this position, but the object of the conversation was the blonde lady.

"Echoes of the Past!"

He suddenly activated his miracle, but after many attempts, all he heard were the voices of Dorothy and Luweiya discussing the situation, the sounds of people in the square outside the window, Little Mia's meowing, and the voices of himself, Dorothy, and Jia Lin Na discussing Queen Diana.

"Alright, and then what did you talk about?"

"She said thank you for helping take care of her pet cat over the past year. She also said that although she was surprised that Little Mia still looked like a kitten, the cat looked very healthy and in good spirits, and she was very satisfied.

Both of us knew how you raised this cat, so we told her on your behalf about the ingredients of the cat food Little Mia eats, where it sleeps, and its habit of napping on the windowsill. In short, we talked about a lot."

"So, regarding Mia's stay..."

Xia De looked at them.

"Look at your expression now, Xia De. Of course, we talked about the issue of Little Mia's stay.

Miss Gao De herself indicated that the revival and reconstruction work in her hometown town is still ongoing, she doesn't have time to take care of the cat for the time being, and she is also worried that a city cat won't be used to life in the countryside, so Mia will stay with you for now."

Dorothy and Luweiya immediately saw the smile on Xia De's face.

"Miss Gao De is truly a sensible lady! Is that all? How long did Miss Gao De sit here yesterday?"

He happily stroked the cat's little head.

"About an hour and a half. She talked to us about Little Mia, and also talked about her own affairs. Although you said Miss Gao De's background wasn't noble, I think she must have received noble education, and very old-fashioned noble education at that.

Her sitting posture and tea-drinking movements were exceptionally elegant, and her demeanor and temperament while speaking were also outstanding. I have a very high opinion of her."

Dorothy said this.

"Then did you talk about the problem of that suit of armor? And Little Mia's matter? Is Miss Gao De really just an ordinary person?"

Xia De asked again. This time it was Luweiya's turn to answer:

"How should I put it? Some people's temperament lets you know they aren't ordinary at first glance. This Miss Gao De's temperament belongs to the very warm type; even people with cold hearts can't help but feel comforted when facing her.

I originally wanted to try and probe a bit, but I didn't find a suitable opportunity. However, I tend to believe she has some kind of special ability. That warm temperament is truly impressive. Dorothy and I were very worried about you and Jia Lin Na and the others at the time, but after she visited, we actually felt our moods weren't as anxious."

Dorothy also nodded:

"We said at the time that you had encountered some trouble outside, and she even comforted us by saying, 'Detective Hamilton will be fine; he will surely be able to overcome every difficulty.' This sounded like simple comfort, but coming from her, I couldn't help but feel reassured." ===== CHAPTER 2495 =====
