Chapter 2583
The "Primordial Fire" could not burn an owl into a human being, so after the flame burned, Miss Winslett, who also felt that her mental and soul state was surprisingly good, simply turned back into that chubby owl to cover up her loss of composure and flew crookedly into Miss Bell's arms.
Under the condition that the curse state was suppressed, her race was still "owl," but the good news was that her spellcasting ability in owl form had also recovered to the tenth ring and tenth tier, and the human form, which consumed a lot of spirit, also consumed a lot less in the current state.
"Sister, how long will you stay in Vista City?"
After suppressing the curse, Xia De asked about Sister Deline's itinerary. The nun replied softly:
"Stay tonight to observe the recovery of the suppressed curse. Tomorrow morning, Sylvia will open a portal to Willendale for me."
Xia De glanced at Miss Bell. She was looking down and taking care of the owl that looked like it had fainted, so she didn't notice that Sister Deline had directly said the name of that great space witch in front of Xia De.
"That's fine too."
He glanced at Miss Dannister, who was sitting on the sofa looking at them, and then lowered his voice and asked:
"Since you are here, can I borrow your eye patch tonight?"
A blush appeared on the nun's face as she lowered her head, but she still nodded:
"Yes."
"That's good."
Xia De smiled and asked again:
"There is a concert for the Moon Dance Festival tonight. Sister, would you like to join us?"
Although there were only four tickets, as long as Sister Deline wanted to participate, he would find a way to get another ticket no matter what.
But the nun shook her head slightly:
"I don't like crowded places. I have long heard of the strangeness of the Vista Forest. We will go for a walk in the forest tonight."
"Sister, then shall I go with you?"
The round-faced owl held by the young black-haired girl said weakly, but Sister Deline still shook her head:
"I will just go with the nuns who came with me. Don't worry about where we stay tonight; we will camp in the forest."
The nuns of the 【Spiritual Cultivation Group】 were actually a kind of "ascetic," and even if their members had normal eyes, they would deliberately maintain a "blind state." This was a more exaggerated ascetic method than the hermits of the 【Hermit Group in the Forest】.
Therefore, Xia De also knew that Sister Deline was not being polite, so he didn't say he wanted to accompany her for a stroll in the forest at night. He just thought about taking the nun to touch the Old God statue in the tree hole in the forest, so that the nun could also establish a landmark leading to the local area.
Of course, there was one more thing to do before tonight's concert, which was the conclusion of the Kaming family incident, that is, the recovery of the paradox worm.
Given the news he learned from that "Father François" today, Xia De suspected that there were more people in the local area who knew about the "tree hole" and had also discovered the abnormality of the Kaming family, so this action needed to be very cautious.
"Sister Deline, I will need you to go with us in a while."
But since the twelve-ring Chosen One of Death was by his side, there was actually nothing to be cautious about.
Now that the two cursed ladies had temporarily recovered some power, after discussion, Miss Dannister went out with Xia De and the nun this afternoon, because Miss Winslett had already gone out once in the morning.
The witch's followers had been tracking the whereabouts of Kaming father and son these days, so when Xia De decided to completely resolve this matter, Miss Bell confirmed the locations of Kane Kaming and James Kaming through their internal channels:
"James Kaming is now at the Morris Mansion. Since you took that book away, he has been searching for it in every corner of the house like a madman, and even suspected that the servants in the house were thieves because of this.
Now he is grounded at home by the Baron, but the Baron is not in the mansion at this time; he is talking business with people at the Lumberjack Association in the north of the city."
"We will split into two groups. Miss Dannister and I will lure young Kaming out; Sister, please work with Miss Bell to lure the Baron to this location outside the city."
Xia De marked the location in the forest on the map, and this grouping was because Sister Deline was the strongest and Miss Bell was the weakest.
After the plan was made, everyone left the hotel to take action. However, the red-haired female Ringed Ringed Shushi couldn't turn into an owl and grab a cat to fly, so they left by carriage:
"What is your relationship with that very beautiful nun?"
She asked when the carriage started, and deliberately didn't mention the nun's name but used "very beautiful" as a modifier.
"Didn't the nun explain just now? Speaking of which, do you know about the Primordial Fire?"
"I've heard related rumors, and the Church also mentioned it when introducing the Chosen One of Death... Why do I feel that your relationship is not that simple?"
The rose-red eyes looked at him suspiciously.
"Is this relationship very simple? Didn't you see that I couldn't even think of a suitable adjective to describe our relationship at first?"
Xia De widened his eyes immediately, but the eighteen-year-old girl was still unrelenting:
"Flora doesn't know your little secrets, but I do.
Among the Chosen Ones who have appeared now, there are three confirmed to be female. That Miss Beiya in Tobesk, I don't think your relationship with her is simple; and the mysterious Space Chosen One, that girl with butterfly wings, are you going to say that she and you are just friends?
When you told me the story of Green Lake, you said that although the situation of the Space Chosen One is complicated, she is your lover."
So she reached a logical conclusion:
"So the relationship between this nun and you is also not simple."
"Please don't insult that nun like that. I think she is that kind of standard ascetic."
Xia De emphasized, while Miss Dannister looked at her student:
"I noticed that you only said she was very cold, but you didn't clarify whether you have any thoughts about her."
As a teacher, she had long ago trained the ability to distinguish lies and "limited truths" from students of successive sessions.
Just as Miss Bell said, Mr. Kaming, who had lost the channel to communicate with his lover, now appeared even more troubled than someone who had broken up.
When Xia De and Miss Dannister arrived at the Morris Mansion, he had locked himself in his room, sitting at his desk looking at the empty drawer, as if hoping the book would appear out of thin air.
The Red Moon illusion had already shrouded the mansion, and the dejected young man didn't notice that someone had broken into his room again.
"If we use illusion to create an illusion of Erica Kaming, is it a bit unethical?"
Xia De asked softly. The red-haired girl standing side by side with him shook her head, and the red moonlight shrouded James Kaming's head like a bubble. Miss Dannister hadn't seen Erica, but the illusion would guide people to see what they wanted to see.
So the young man was indeed startled, and then ran out of the door quickly.
Xia De and Miss Dannister also followed, watching him run out of the house dejectedly, then find a carriage and head out of the city all the way.
"I'm curious, what is the Academy's attitude toward students falling in love?"
In the carriage, Xia De and Miss Dannister sat in a row, and James Kaming looked out the window sitting opposite them.
"It's normal for young people to fall in love. As long as they are over the legal age of 16 and don't violate public order and good customs, the Academy doesn't really care about such things."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia De with a smile. Xia De knew she wanted to tease his emotional life again, but the young female Ringed Ringed Shushi didn't mention it:
"Although Ring-Warlocks can awaken talents at any age, generally speaking, most of them are adults, and many people are even married when they enroll. And since they are adults, they can be responsible for themselves.
Now that I think about it, if the Academy started recruiting from the age of twelve, then how to study and control the number of new students each year would probably become a big problem... In the era when Miss Feilianna first built the Academy, she never considered such things. After all, St. Byrons was a real girls' school at that time."
After speaking, she laughed herself. And the reason why the outsider asked this was because he had always been curious about how the magic school in the famous fairy tale of his hometown controlled the number of students leaving the school each year to be no more than the number of students entering the school.
The discussion about the Academy's "student love" continued until the carriage dropped the three of them at the edge of the north of the city. James Kaming got off the carriage and immediately stumbled and ran along the dirt road out of the city. Xia De paid the fare and said "Happy Moon Dance Festival" to the coachman.
"I also wish you a happy Moon Dance Festival, sir. But you should keep an eye on your friend, he looks..."
The coachman made a complicated expression, and Xia De nodded helplessly:
"He broke up."
So the coachman understood.
Under the guidance of the Red Moon illusion, young Mr. Kaming ran all the way to the meeting point Xia De and the nun had agreed upon. Xia De and Miss Dannister followed him from a distance and continued to talk, but not about the Academy's student code, but about the Moon Dance Festival:
"In the era when I was born, there were still many places in the south of the Old Continent that celebrated the Moon Dance Festival. It's just that this traditional custom has become less and less in the last twenty years. The only possibility for the revival of this festival at present is the day it is declared a public holiday for one day."
The red-haired girl said, stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest happily. She could always find the leaves with the crispest sound.
The area of the fire in the morning was not far to the east, but at this time the fire had long been extinguished, and one couldn't even see the clues of the morning's events. Counting the time, although they only had lunch, the Church in the city must have been in a mess, while the forest was still quiet and peaceful.
"Then the origin of the Moon Dance Festival, is it really ancient humans sacrificing to that Moon God?"
Xia De asked curiously, and then got an affirmative answer:
"Yes, on the night of the fullest moon in the third month of autumn every year, offering dances and harvest food and hunted prey to the ancient Moon God is a very traditional and ancient custom."
