Chapter 2586

The librarian lady paused her steps and looked suspiciously at the back, then followed.

"You did well. Oh, be careful, don't burn the worm shell too!"

The elf girl in the forest reminded with a good mood. Xia De nodded, and didn't ask how she appeared so coincidentally, but watched Sister Deline stand up too.

She and Xia De stood on the left and right, and then simultaneously reached out their right hands and placed them on the hilt of 【Ashes】. So the flames that were already clinging to the longsword burned to their right hands. The nun's hair tips, eye patch, and robe hem, and Xia De's eyes, all flashed with traces of flames at the same time.

The First Flame, which became stronger because of the new "firewood," gave them brand new power:

"From now on, the power of the Primordial Fire can directly harm the 'Paradox Worm'."

Sister Deline said softly, her voice still calm, but Xia De could feel that she was very happy at this time.

The flames quickly swallowed the remaining body of the worm. When the flame was about to go out, she reached out her burned hand and pulled out 【Ashes】. So on the ground that was burned and sunken, only the worm shell that was still slightly red remained.

"It seems that without me, you can also deal with this worm."

The golden-haired elf continued to praise with a smile. Xia De reached out and pulled out the staff inserted in the ground and turned it back into a key:

"I think I still need you. This paradox worm was only bred by ordinary people, and the paradox was just 'the son's age is older than the father's'. Although this worm evolved to the second stage, it is not strong."

He looked at the Kaming father and son lying on the ground again. It should be said that this time it was thanks to Baron Kaming. It was he who maintained the consistency and logical self-consistency of time, otherwise what Xia De had to do would not be just listening to stories and killing worms.

"As long as you know the danger, I will help you. Oh, this is really hot. I'll take this back. The potion is still being prepared, and the first batch should be ready soon."

The elf lady bent down and picked up the worm shell. Xia De found that she was avoiding Sister Deline's "gaze" as if she had a guilty conscience.

Although the nun was blind, she could see the soul directly. At this moment, the elf was beside her. She tilted her head slightly as if in doubt, and then "looked" at Xia De. Seeing that Xia De didn't say anything, she didn't say what she saw.

Xia De nodded gently:

"So far, the matter of the Kaming family has come to a temporary end."

"The Kaming family is an outsider in Creekwood Town. What you see at this time is probably just the tip of the iceberg of the story of Creekwood Town."

The elf lady reminded, also avoiding Miss Dannister's gaze at her, firmly refusing to look at the red-haired girl.

The golden-haired elf girl took away this second "Worm of Time" shell, and then disappeared into the forest without looking back, quite like escaping.

"Last time I just saw her pulling you to the sky, looking at her up close this time, does she look a bit familiar?"

Even Miss Dannister discovered this point, and Xia De's explanation for this was:

"She said she is also an elf of the Moon Creek clan, so she probably looks a lot like Emilia."

"Is that so?"

Miss Dannister had more questions:

"That's not right, the Moon Creek clan has moved to St. Byrons as a whole since the Fifth Era. Where would there be elves of the Moon Creek clan in the outside world now? Is she also from the Academy? Which grade student is she? Why haven't I seen her?"

So that elf girl was actually not good at hiding herself.

In short, just as Xia De said, the matter of the Kaming family came to a temporary end. Xia De woke up the two unconscious father and son, and watched them leave the forest together before returning to the city with the girls.

Near evening, the city still had a very lively atmosphere because of the opening of the Moon Dance Festival. But in this lively atmosphere, Xia De unexpectedly felt a kind of atmosphere of a storm coming.

After all, counting the time, the local Dawn Church and Sun Church must have already figured out the matter of "time travel" from Father François.

However, Xia De had no acquaintances in the local church, so he couldn't go to inquire about the situation. On the way back, Miss Dannister and Miss Bell, who were accompanying him, were still reminiscing about the events of this afternoon, so they didn't speak. Sister Deline, who had never liked chatting, didn't speak either.

The two witch followers and the two high-ranking blind nuns also didn't intend to strike up a conversation with Xia De, so the way back seemed a bit dull.

After returning to the Accordion Hotel, he had a simple dinner with the ladies, and then entered the forest again with the three nuns.

He took the nun to touch the Old God statue in the "forest that cannot be walked out of," and then sent the three nuns out of the forest before turning back home to change clothes to facilitate returning to participate in the concert at night.

During the process of entering the forest, Xia De also talked in detail with Sister Deline about the things that happened in the Vista Forest recently, and the nun just listened quietly.

It was only when they said goodbye to each other at the edge of the forest that Sister Deline spoke:

"You recognized that elf?"

Xia De smiled immediately:

"Yes, she is not good at hiding herself. I knew you would see it too... Can you tell her specific age?"

"56 years old."

56 years old is the standard age for contemporary elves to become adults, and if Xia De remembers correctly, the age of Emilia Sinod, who is still raising unicorns in the Academy, is 53 years old (Chapter 2178).

"Three years... I understand, but is the growth and development of elves so rapid?"

He gestured with his hand, but Sister Deline shook her head and didn't answer.

So they parted temporarily. However, Xia De would come back after attending the concert tonight, find the nuns' camp in the forest, and borrow the nun's eye patch.

They tacitly didn't mention this topic in the city. Xia De knew that Sister Deline didn't like being seen what she looked like under her eye patch.

After going home to change clothes and entering the city again, the street lamps had already lit up this starry night. "Stars" not only refers to the fact that there were no clouds in the sky tonight so one could clearly see the stars and the moon, but also refers to the fact that the musicians performing in the Golden Music Hall tonight were all stars of this era.

At least yesterday, that is, when Xia De talked about this concert on Saturday night, Dorothy expressed that she was very envious.

As the lights came on, the Vista City tonight seemed to have become restless with the music. Even the Accordion Hotel decorated its doors and windows with silver ribbons on the night of the opening of the Moon Dance Festival, and even the bard performing on the first floor of the hotel tonight was telling stories about the night and the moon.

The joy of the festival also infected the outsider, and he even felt that his spirit was vaguely restless. Pushing open the door of Room 321 with some longing for the concert, he saw a large group of gray-brown feathers pouncing on him:

"You actually know Mystery Lock!"

The owl almost pounced on his face immediately, and only after Xia De hugged the owl did he understand what she was talking about:

"Good evening... wasn't Mystery Lock a topic from two hours ago?"

The owl rolled over and aimed her face at him:

"But I only found out after you finished dinner and left! I was wondering why everyone didn't speak when eating, they actually saw that kind of thing!"

Xia De felt that she was becoming more and more like a real owl recently.

【Isn't Dannister Gustav also becoming more and more like a real eighteen-year-old?】

The round-faced owl, who was angry, struggled and flew out of his hands, landed on the ground, and turned into Flora Winslett wearing a dress.

Miss Bell and Miss Dannister were not here. The witch smoothed her hair with her hand, and then said to Xia De again:

"Charlotte told me everything! You actually know Mystery Lock! Do you know, even in the council, there are only three witches who know Mystery Lock! This includes Her Excellency the Speaker!"

One of the remaining two is the Earth Witch Vanessa, and I don't know what her 【Mystery Lock - Golden Stage Singing Glory】 will look like after she is promoted to the thirteenth tier.

But obviously, the artist's dissatisfaction at this moment was not because Xia De had never mentioned that he knew Mystery Lock, but because—

"If you had said in advance that you were going to use Mystery Lock, I would have followed you this afternoon!"

Although she was "complaining" about Xia De, she seemed more like she was angry with herself.

"But I didn't expect to use Mystery Lock this afternoon... This was Sister Deline's suggestion."

Xia De explained, but it seemed that the witch didn't connect Xia De with the God Caller based on the "Zhong Lou." After all, the most significant feature when merging with the nun was the "Sea of Fire."

"I have always wanted to use the environment and scenes in the Mystery Lock that are completely different from the real world to expand my painting skills and ideas... Next time you want to show it to me, I also want to see the situation inside that flame Mystery Lock."

"But I only have eight rings, and Mystery Lock is not something you can open if you want to. Besides, the characteristics of that Mystery Lock have nothing to do with fire."

Xia De shook his head, and the witch, who had styled her gray-black long hair beautifully, stepped closer:

"Then can you reveal the true characteristics of that Mystery Lock?"

Xia De thought about it and felt that this was not something that couldn't be said:

"Do you know the fairy tale - Zhong Lou Lover? It's the fairy tale where the soldier is conscripted, the lover waits in the hometown, and finally the two people's corpses merge into one... So why is this story considered a fairy tale?"

"Of course I know this. Hmm?"

She took a step back, looking at Xia De up and down with some surprise. Xia De nodded:

"Yes, just as you thought: Mystery Lock - Zhong Lou Lover."

"I knew it, your relationship with Sister Deline is definitely not as simple as you said!"

"Why are the points that you and Miss Dannister care about so strange?"

She was indeed very angry that she missed the "big scene" this afternoon, but she also knew it wasn't Xia De's fault, so she remained unhappy until the group was ready to set off for the Golden Music Hall.
