Chapter 2536: Failed Visit and Forest Cemetery

Although it was a card for gambling on luck, since the special rules had been activated, Xia De still put down the face-down card he was about to flip open, and drew a third card with Miss Bell.

Both chose to stop drawing, and then displayed their hand cards together.

"Star 5, Moon 11, Moon 4, 20 points."

Miss Bell said, and then saw that Xia De had two special cards among the three cards in his hand:

"Normal card Star 9, Sun 3 【Founding·Silver Moon】, Flower 8 【Old Continent Eastern Scenery·Tis Lake】. Because you opened the cards first, the special effect of the third card is invalid. The total points are 9+3+8=20 points. Adjust Sun 3 to Sun 4, so the total points are 21 points."

He kissed the 【Founding·Silver Moon】 in his hand, and then handed the card to Miss Bell for appreciation:

"Game over, I won."

"Yes, I am very happy to have had this game with you."

The young witch apprentice held the card with both hands, extremely excited, without any feeling of having lost the game at all. So Xia De waved his hand, and the remaining five cards in the deck—Balance, Darkness, Death, Earth, and Light—all flew out by themselves and floated toward her.

At that moment, Xia De felt that the girl across the table was really about to faint.

"I have a feeling that Xia De could trick your apprentice away with just these eight cards?"

The red-haired girl acting as a referee said softly. The witch with grey-black hair rolled her eyes at her:

"Do you know how much wealth those eight cards add up to?"

She was very understanding of her apprentice's mood; they all had hobbies they were obsessed with.

"No matter how valuable, they won't be as valuable as Xia De's other assets."

The red-haired female warlock then said while holding her teacup, thinking of Xia De's shares in the Academy. And seeing her friend look at her in surprise, she smiled and asked:

"Why, did you think Xia De was really living off Miss Jia Lin Na Cavendish? He is much richer than that Duchess."

"No, I always thought you were giving your student pocket money."

"Miss Wensilai Te!"

Xia De, who was admiring the 【Legendary Race·Elf】, said hurriedly. The witch covered her mouth and laughed, feeling that such a life was truly interesting:

"Now I owe you six oil paintings. Why don't we wait and see if we can gather a set of 12 before the matter in Vista Woodland ends? I am really looking forward to having you become my model."

Xia De had no plans to stay for dinner tonight, but now he had not only eaten dinner but also played Rod cards, so when he returned home using the crystal shoes, it was already 7:30 PM.

Originally worried that the cat that hadn't eaten dinner would be hungry, and later worried that the smart cat that opened the cat food bag without permission would be overfed. Fortunately, when he came down from upstairs, he saw the lights on the second floor, and then saw Luweiya and Duoluo Qian were here.

Hearing the footsteps, the cat jumped onto the stairs to greet Xia De in advance, and the purple-eyed girl and the writer Miss also stood up to give him a hug when Xia De entered the door:

"Coming back so late, is the matter in Vista Woodland so troublesome? Do you need me or Princess Lei Qianya to help? Call Grace and Helen to open a channel to that side, and I will go touch the tree hole statue you mentioned to establish a channel."

Duoluo Qian asked. Xia De shook his head, too embarrassed to say he was playing cards tonight:

"Just discovered some strange things, things related to ethics. Want to hear about it? Although I didn't understand it either."

"Of course."

Luweiya's right index finger brushed across Xia De's chest, her purple eyes carrying a smile:

"We came here tonight, what else could it be for?"

Because he was very late to the Accordion Hotel on Monday morning, Xia De made up his mind to get up early on Tuesday to leave a good impression on Miss Dannis Te, who praised him for "diligent reading" last night.

Therefore, when Xia De got up at 6:30 AM on Tuesday, he also called up Duoluo Qian and Luweiya, who were sleeping beside him. Compared to Xia De, who usually got up at 6:30, Luweiya, who went to work at 9:00, and the "freelancer" Duoluo Qian did not like getting up so early, and plus they went to bed very late last night, so they didn't go to wash up until Xia De had made breakfast.

And by the time they finished breakfast at 8:00 AM, Xia De had even returned from Midhillburg:

"Sister Daifulin is not at the sacrificial altar on the top of the mountain, but I left her a letter, she should agree to lend me her eye mask."

"Xia De, Sister Daifulin is a very respectable person, don't bully her like this."

Duoluo Qian advised. Xia De asked in confusion:

"I'm just borrowing the eye mask, why do you think I'm bullying her... and I can't beat Sister Daifulin at all."

After saying goodbye to Luweiya and Duoluo Qian at home, Xia De finally set off for Vista Woodland. However, he went out with Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya today, because Luweiya had to attend a learning report meeting of the Divination Association, and Duoluo Qian had to go home to visit her mother, so neither had time to help take care of this cat.

This was also Xia De's first time taking Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya to Vista Woodland, so after drilling out of the tree hole in the broken ruins, he took a look at the city from a distance, and then planned to take the cat to visit the elf Miss in the forest.

"But a visit always needs a reason. I haven't found those antique arrows... Bring her some snacks, and just say it's specifically to thank her for helping at the old Bennett house."

Xia De was actually curious about what attitude Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya had toward that elf girl.

But it was a pity that the elf was not in the flower field, nor was she in her beautiful tree house. Xia De put down the snacks and decided to wait a while. Maybe the elf Miss just went to collect dew early in the morning and would be back soon.

But he waited for a full twenty minutes without seeing the elf's shadow. When the cat finally couldn't help but want to taste the purple morning glory used as decoration hanging on the wooden door, Xia De finally gave up:

"Help me smell if there is a familiar scent here."

But before leaving, Xia De put the cat down on the wooden platform in front of the tree house, hoping the cat could help. And the cat, which was reluctant to walk by itself, sniffed around, and actually ran toward the tree house door.

It jumped onto the chair outside the window with a nimble run-up, and then jumped onto the table outside the window. Then it stood beside the snacks Xia De put down, turned around, and squatted there looking at Xia De pitifully... so Xia De knew this cat couldn't help.

Ten minutes after Xia De left with Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya, Xia De, who was manipulating an illusion to leave, walked out from under the tree again, looked up at the tree house, and only left after confirming that there was really no one there. He got up early, and didn't want to arrive at the hotel so late again.

And ten minutes after Xia De left, the elf girl carefully held a toothbrush cup and toothbrush, and jumped down from the tree crown higher up the big tree where the tree house was located.

"Xia De is really..."

She looked at the direction Xia De left with some dissatisfaction, and then smiled and reached out to the sweet snacks Xia De brought.

In short, because of all this tossing and turning, by the time Xia De finally arrived at the Accordion Hotel, it was already 9:13 AM.

When he knocked on the door and entered Miss Dannis Te's room with Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya, the red-haired female warlock who had seen this cat many times was not very surprised, while the round-faced owl standing on the back of the sofa and explaining things to her apprentice was attracted at once:

"Good morning, oh, what a beautiful cat~"

The chubby round-faced owl said and flapped its wings to fly toward him, so Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya, who was standing on Xia De's shoulder, suddenly had sharp eyes.

It was just that before the cat could pounce, the owl turned into the witch with grey-black hair in mid-air and sat on the sofa:

"Is this the pet cat you raised? I have never seen such a cute cat!"

"Yes, I have always believed that Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya must be the cutest cat in the world."

Xia De was quite confident when talking about this topic. Of course, coming here today was not to discuss cat-raising experiences with Miss Wensilai Te. He then entrusted Miss Wensilai Te to help take care of Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya today, and the witch accepted happily:

"Speaking of which, you said your transformation magic-cat wasn't learned specifically, so could it be that you learned it because you raised a cat?"

She asked jokingly, and Xia De refused to answer this question.

And Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya was of course not very willing to be separated from Xia De in a strange place, but in the end, she squatted pitifully on the back of the sofa, watching Xia De and the red-haired girl leave.

The destination of the two was the cemetery of the Bennett family. The location of the cemetery had already been found out by the two ladies. Although Xia De had said that every time he arrived in a city, he would definitely visit the public cemetery there, at least in the "City of Music", he didn't plan to go to the public cemetery for the time being.

Thanks to the dense forest around the city, and because "Bennett" was once a traditional local noble in Creekwood Town, Bennett not only had an old house but also a small family cemetery.

But that cemetery was not near the old Bennett house, but deep in the forest area. That was the land once controlled by the Bennett family. Although the land was stripped away along with the noble title, at least the cemetery still belonged to them.

A winding forest path led from the edge of the north of the city to that cemetery. Because only a few people like lumberjacks and hunters would pass by on weekdays, the path in the forest also seemed to be in a semi-abandoned state.

Xia De and Miss Dannis Te didn't waste too much time, and arrived at the small cemetery surrounded by iron fences at 11:00 AM. According to their investigation, this cemetery was established three hundred years ago by the first "Baron Bennett".

However, the number of members of the Bennett family had always been small, and according to custom, all family members were buried in the underground tomb area, so the cemetery looked shabby and small. As time passed, although the family's fate had ups and downs, this place had never changed. ===== CHAPTER 2537 =====
