Chapter 2515: Succubus
As the words fell, the witch with gray-black hair wearing glasses happily saw that the handsome man, who had been a bit cold and very vigilant since entering the room, had light shining in his eyes for a moment.
Xia De was indeed very interested in this card.
"How about it, consider helping me with this favor?"
She asked with a smile again, looking at the man under the sunlight by the window with her arms crossed.
"I need to confirm, that card won't be in the hands of your missing uncle, and I have to find him to get it, right?"
Xia De asked very seriously, and the witch shook her head immediately:
"Of course not, how could I do that kind of thing? That card is in the hands of my apprentice. She is also a Luo De card lover like you, but that card belongs to me. I just let her keep it temporarily.
I separated from her before entering the Vista Forest, and let her take my followers to Willondale to handle things for another witch. She will come over next week, and you will be able to see that card then."
"I don't guarantee that I will definitely find the person you are looking for."
"It doesn't matter, it's enough that you are willing to help me."
The witch laughed, and reached out her slender and fair hand to Xia De again:
"Knight, happy cooperation."
Xia De shook it, and then found that the witch didn't let go of his hand:
"What a perfect hand."
Xia De took the initiative to break free from her hand and thought she was very impolite. And the artist lady didn't care about Xia De's eyes at all, but asked happily:
"After this matter is over, let me paint an oil painting for you? I always look for girls to be models, but now I find that men are also worth my pen. Do you know? Others are scrambling to let me paint, and I refuse them all."
Xia De was not interested in painting oil paintings, and besides, there was already a painting by Hela Osenfurt of him in the snow hanging at home. But he still nodded:
"This is my honor."
So Miss Winster was even friendlier to Xia De.
Seeing that her attitude was so good, Xia De thought about explaining his relationship with other witches according to the plan, but unexpectedly Miss Winster said again:
"But have you discussed it with Galina? What does such an existence as you mean to us?
Fortunately, you only have a clear relationship with Galina and know me. If you bewitched many witches at once, I would definitely have to report it to the Speaker immediately."
"Why?"
Xia De was stunned in his heart, but she smiled and curved her eyebrows:
"Because in this way, aren't you a 'succubus' specifically targeting us witches? This won't work, demons are to be beaten to death.
But if you only have a relationship with Galina, I will turn a blind eye and pretend I didn't see it. Of course, I'm not saying that others will be as interested in you as Galina, but you are indeed... interesting."
She didn't realize what kind of result her words caused, but walked toward the piano in the room, not seeing the complex expression that suddenly flashed in Xia De's eyes when he looked at her back.
【Do you want to catch her into the basement?】
"She" seemed to laugh very happily.
"I don't have this hobby."
【Then don't you want to talk about the progress of your plan to plot against the entire Witch Council?】
"Wait a little longer, I think I should be more familiar before talking about those secrets."
Since she and Xia De expressed their identities to each other, Miss Winster also explained her own "curse". Miss Danister's curse was her own time regression and "time solidification", while she was cursed to become the "owl form" when she entered the past.
"The human form I am showing now is just the effect of transformation. Like Miss Danister, my power has also declined. In the owl form, it can be counted as eight rings at most. The human form can barely be counted as ten rings, but the consumption is very large, which is far worse than the eleventh ring in normal times."
At this time, Xia De and Miss Winster returned to Miss Danister's room, and the witch still maintained her human appearance:
"Even just sitting here talking to you, the consumption of my own spirit exceeds the recovery speed of the spirit.
I experimented last night. My owl form does not consume spirit; the spirit consumption of small ordinary animal forms such as cats, rabbits, and sparrows is much less than the consumption before I was cursed; the consumption of large animals such as bears and elk is slightly less than before I was cursed; but the consumption of any transformation state involving supernatural power has greatly increased."
"So you can't maintain a long-term combat state now either?"
Xia De confirmed, and the witch nodded:
"Yes, although it is better than your teacher, it is not much better. I guess that bottle of umbilical cords of yours should also be able to make me temporarily return to normal, but the punishment is probably that it will be more and more difficult for me to recover into a human."
"So, for a period of time, although Winster and I can cast spells, we will try to avoid high-intensity combat occasions. Xia De, you probably have to work harder."
Miss Danister instructed, and Xia De had no opinion on this:
"No problem, and I suggest that you don't show up easily. Whether such 'cursed people' as you will attract the attention of others is hard to say, and I am worried that if there really are so-called 'time travelers', they might also easily notice you... Before you went missing, did you frequently appear in the city?"
Both ladies shook their heads. They both came here with their own purposes, and the thirteenth-rank witch and the eleventh-rank Great Witch were very cautious.
"That's good. Although it is the three of us investigating together, most of the activities in the city are carried out by me, and you are responsible for the areas outside the city. First is the 【Forest Hermit Group】, a ring warlock group that believes in the ancient god 'White Holy Tree'. They are active in the Vista Forest. Do you know about this?"
Miss Danister nodded:
"I came here to find that astrologer from a hundred years ago. The initial plan included contact with the 【Forest Hermit Group】. They were active here a hundred years ago. No problem, I am responsible for contacting them."
"Also, there are countless ancient ruins scattered in the Vista Forest. I hope to be able to investigate the ruins related to that ancient god of time, or ruins related to those ancient gods related to time, such as 【Brilliant Door】."
"No problem, I will investigate."
The witch with gray-black hair took the initiative to take on this work:
"My apprentices and followers are rushing over with relevant literature. I can complete this task in the hotel. In addition, I will also watch this hotel, especially watching that broom closet."
Xia De nodded:
"My investigation direction is the Bennett family. Since that cupboard can be traced back to the old Bennett mansion at the earliest, I think I should be able to find some clues."
Of course, although it is said that the investigation direction has been determined, Xia De didn't stay for lunch at noon, but put down the clothes prepared for Miss Danister and left here, and agreed to meet with the two ladies again tomorrow morning.
He attended the group study meeting on time in the afternoon. Because the autumn semester has just begun, even the doctor didn't urge them to prepare for the "upcoming" winter exams, so there was nothing important in this meeting.
During the period, Xia De mentioned the topic of time travel to others.
He didn't say that someone went missing and was found by him, but mentioned that he found a magical cupboard, and thus talked about the "Time Tree Hole".
Luweiya didn't say anything because she had known about this for a long time, but Dorothy, Priest Ao Gu Si, and Dr. Schneider had different views on this.
The writer lady gave many examples to prove that such props often appear in fairy tales, and Priest Ao Gu Si wiped his pipe that seemed to have never been lit:
"Time Tree Hole, I know, I mean I have heard of this ancient legend."
Those tree holes are not fixed on a certain tree, but appear randomly without any regularity. It is a magical gift left by the ancient tree god in the material world, but if this gift is abused, it will bring punishment more terrible than death.
Saying that, he also glanced at Xia De. Obviously, this was not "heard" but the data in the angel's knowledge:
"If you don't want to destroy that cupboard, you must not use it yourself, this may cause big trouble."
"I have also heard of this ancient legend."
The blue-eyed psychologist also said. Having been promoted to the ninth ring, he was in good spirits at this time, but he was still cautious about time things:
"Time Tree Hole is a power that demons dare not touch easily. The great power of time is feared even by ancient evil spirits."
Only those who truly know their mission dare to use the power of the Time Tree Hole. Xia De, even you, should not touch that kind of thing easily.
Demons are as wary of this as angels, and their attitude toward this is exactly the same:
"Although that cupboard is precious, you'd better chop it up and burn it as firewood."
Xia De didn't have this idea for the time being, but seeing the cautious attitude of the two, he planned to urge Galina to make the imitation cupboard as soon as possible.
And after the group meeting that day ended, Priest Ao Gu Si stopped Xia De and planned to walk with him.
Of course, it was actually to talk to Xia De about other things:
"Last time you said to put the 【Angel's Right Arm】 with me temporarily, didn't I say I was configuring magic potion? The magic potion is ready, you will definitely like it."
The carriage carrying the two set off from the door of the psychological clinic and headed toward the west of the city. The priest took out a glass test tube only the size of a little finger from his robe, and the test tube was sealed with beeswax.
The liquid with a golden color that makes people feel happy was jumping in the test tube. Xia De could feel the traces of active elements just by looking at it:
"This is?" ===== CHAPTER 2516 =====
A liquid with a golden hue that made one feel pleasant was pulsing inside the test tube. Xia De could feel the traces of active elements just by taking a glance:
"What is this?"
