Chapter 2511: Death and Art

"This witch is an artist... then why would she go to Vista Forest? Could it be that she went to attend the autumn Moon Dance Festival concert?"

Xia De continued to ask, and the duchess shook her head:

"I can't answer this question. Flora could appear anywhere.

You probably don't know that she is the daughter of Earl Winster, the largest newspaper tycoon in Karsenrik. Now the family is headed by her grandfather. She has always been at odds with her father and left Willondale a long time ago to travel and collect material throughout Karsenrik.

Most of her works were published during this period. I know that Dorothy is very famous now and was the first in the popular literature field last year, but she still cannot be compared with Flora. Even Vanessa cannot be compared with Flora in the art field. After all, Vanessa has not performed in public for many years, but Flora is still at the peak of her creation."

"Then what is this lady's seat?"

Tifa walked over with a tea tray from the kitchen. When she bent down to pour tea, she saw her master signaling her to answer this question:

"Miss Flora Winster's seat is one seat lower than my lady's, the eighth seat, the Great Witch of Death, eleventh rank."

Galina added:

"Xia De, you should know that different seats represent power, but also represent that we will be affected by power. Others are fine, but the Great Witch of the Death line is most seriously affected by the seat. Flora becoming an artist is also related to this. She is extremely sensitive to death and can interpret death very well in music, writing, and painting.

And she once said that death makes her often feel the emptiness of the soul. She tries to maintain the temperature of her soul through creation and art, and traveling and collecting material everywhere is also one of the reasons. She joined the council later than me. At first, she was cold to everyone, but she recovered in the past few years as her level increased. She has a very good relationship in the council."

The duchess was describing the other party's personality to Xia De.

"Do seats affect you so much? But I don't think Old Granny Cassandra of the Dark seat is very normal."

Xia De asked suspiciously, and Galina reminded softly:

"That's because Granny is already very old now. She has experienced too many things. None of us have ever seen her young appearance. The title 'Cassandra of the Dark' is not allowed to be mentioned until now."

She was also wary of this, so she didn't say it clearly and changed the subject:

"Flora is proficient in transformation, and is a veritable master of transformation, very close to the ancient druids in people's traditional impressions."

While speaking, she took the teacup handed by her maid:

"Flora mastered a variety of animal transformations when she was still a witch apprentice. After officially taking office as a witch, transformation was no longer limited to ordinary animals. Alien creatures, inanimate objects, and even humans could be transformed by her.

So when you said she turned into an owl, I thought of her at the first time."

Xia De also took the teacup, and mischievously placed it on the back of the cat lying on his lap:

"But what does the seat of 'Death' have to do with transformation? I thought this lady would be better at instant death abilities, or better at assassination. You see, Miss Belindell is good at divination, Miss Aurora's light-type miracles are very powerful, and Miss Sylvia is a master of space abilities. We rely on her to open portals."

Galina pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved beautifully:

"Why don't you say why Flora is an artist instead of opening a coffin shop?"

Xia De also laughed.

"Actually, there is no reason. It's probably because of the influence of the 'Death' seat. The witch who inherits this identity is often more prone to aging than other witches. The impact on lifespan is a small matter, but aging is fatal to witches.

They don't have the "Secret of Immortality" that the Witch Emperor gave you, but they discovered themselves that intensive cultivation of life and nature-type powers can effectively resist this 'aging curse'. Flora has no healing talent. Except for death talent, she has the highest talent for natural transformation, so she became the current master of transformation."

"Death and transformation... can that Miss Winster also turn into a dragon like me?"

Xia De asked curiously again, Galina thought for a while:

"I haven't seen her make a move for a long time, but I remember Flora said she was studying dragon transformation. You know, dragons and unicorns are not creatures that are easy to transform into like cats."

"Meow~"

Little Mia meowed at Xia De, because Xia De only cared about chatting and didn't pet it.

"Then what is this lady's attitude toward men? Oh, Galina, to be honest, I'm tired of knowing and communicating with witches with secrets. You see, not counting Adele, I already know seven witches I can trust, which is already the majority in the council.

If this Miss Flora Winster's acceptance of my existence is not bad, let's just..."

"Look at you."

Galina interrupted Xia De:

"Why, this time you don't want to play the hero saving the beauty while hiding your identity, and want to play the drama of a 'prince' with a noble status saving a 'princess' who is well-matched in status?"

"What princess?"

A voice came from the door, and Iluna and Luweiya walked in together.

"Not a princess, we are talking about witches."

Galina corrected with a smile.

"Not witches, we are talking about chubby round-faced owls."

Xia De continued to correct, because the pronunciation of "owl" and "cat" in Derarion are two completely unrelated words, so Little Mia didn't react much.

During dinner that day, Xia De told the three ladies everything that was happening in Vista Forest, especially the things in the Accordion Hotel, while eating.

Dinner was made by Tifa and the maid ladies. They knew Xia De's taste very well. Xia De preferred dinner to stories. But for others, the madman who traveled through time, the cupboard connecting three points in time, and the witch and witch trapped in the past time were obviously more interesting.

"Returning to eighteen and staying young forever, although you have always said that you can do it by opening the maze, I am still very moved when I really hear such things."

After Xia De finished the story, the oldest witch among the people present supported her face with her right hand holding a fork:

"But this is reasonable. Facing this kind of accident involving time, even that 'Red Moon Witch' obviously couldn't handle it."

"What I care more about is the cupboard Xia De mentioned."

Iluna was originally asked by Luweiya to ask for coins. Now, although it was no longer needed, she was still very happy to stay for dinner:

"Xia De, it can still be used once, right?"

"Yes. I plan to ask Galina to find someone to help me build an identical cupboard to replace it. It can't be left in that broom closet."

"How do you plan to deal with this thing? Bring it home?"

Luweiya asked with some worry, Xia De has always been rational:

"It's a pity to destroy it directly. Since it cannot be turned into a toy, I plan to seal it up for containment and destroy it after the eighth Chosen One's matter is over."

The purple-eyed girl nodded gently:

"That's fine, but I still hope we don't have a time when we need to use it.

Then what about Miss Danister and that witch? Do you have a way to break the time curse?"

"Of course not."

Xia De admitted very generously, throwing the chicken on the fork in front of Little Mia:

"As long as they are not in danger of life, the rest will come slowly. I have many questions about this matter, why didn't they leave information a hundred years ago, why the hotel owner's surname is Bennett, why that cupboard was placed there. It's such a coincidence that the witch is in Vista City, and whether it's any coincidence..."

"Then do you plan to explain your identity to Miss Winster?"

Iluna asked, and the witch and the astrologer lady also looked at Xia De. Xia De's keen perception even noticed that the maid ladies also looked at him quietly.

"What kind of look are you guys giving me? Since Galina said that Miss Winster is that kind of gentle artist, and her popularity is very good, I plan to find an opportunity to tell my identity, as well as my relationship with Galina and them.

I actually saved her, Galina said she is the kind of person who knows how to repay kindness."

Luweiya raised her eyebrows at the witch, and the latter asked with a smile:

"Why, dissatisfied that what I said led to Xia De's plan to confess from the beginning? It was he himself who said that he didn't want to play the game of hiding his identity."

"I think the development of this matter will definitely not be as smooth as Xia De imagined."

Iluna said again.

"Are you referring to the time curse?"

Xia De asked, Iluna shook her head:

"The witch's matter, Xia De, from experience, you and this witch will definitely not be able to know each other and get along peacefully so simply."

Galina and Luweiya both pursed their lips and smiled, and the dining table at No. 6 Saint Deran Square was very happy.

"Continue to eat, don't keep chatting, Tifa and the others' craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

So they laughed even more happily, and Xia De pretended to want to change the subject:

"I will handle the witch's matter well, let's talk about something else. Oh, Iluna, have you been in contact with Amelia recently? How is she doing after school starts?"

Iluna didn't know what Xia De was thinking:

"I received a letter from her last week. She said that the one-month weight loss plan for little Liana went very smoothly. Now she and little Liana have returned to their weight before the summer vacation. Amelia also said that she also sent a letter to Angelina, congratulating her on having two more younger brothers... Can Saint Byron's also buy Derarion's newspapers?"

"Is Amelia still at Saint Byron's? I understand." ===== CHAPTER 2512 =====
