Chapter 2608: Luweiya and the Fire Mark

~10 min read 1,901 words

Many things have happened in Vista City recently. Taking advantage of Luweiya being at home tonight, Xia De and she sorted out the major events recently. Time travelers and Paradox Worms are certainly important, but in the eyes of the purple-eyed girl, the Chosen One is the most important:

"If the elf in the forest is Emilia from the future, then what number candidate do you guess she will be?"

She sat opposite the desk holding a teacup, while Xia De gently stroked the little head of the cat lying obediently on the table:

"Definitely higher than that pair of 'Twin Princes.' The younger brothers of Leisia and Ajelina claim to be the fourth candidate. From the current situation, Emilia is probably either the first or the second candidate.

I have been in contact with her, and I have not felt any time curse on her. So far, besides me, she is the only person who has traveled through time but has no time curse."

Luweiya supported her chin, looking at the face of the mature elf girl drawn on the book Xia De took out from the "Silver Moon Library":

"It looks like it is indeed Emilia. You are sure that the current Emilia is still in the Academy, right? Then it should be that Emilia entered the tree hole at some point in the future.

The time disaster in Vista City is already so serious, but there is no sign of disaster outside that forest land yet. Could it be that Emilia will also go to Vista City in the future? Now it is autumn, there is no reason for the Academy to let her leave."

"Since the mature Emilia is already in the Vista forest land, the result is already destined, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the process."

Xia De wrote the names of Emilia and the Twin Princes on the paper:

"Generally speaking, candidates after the fourth position don't need to consider the possibility of them becoming the Chosen One. Now the power of the fourth candidate has turned into those two umbilical cords, and Emilia is temporarily staying in the forest, which means that at least two more people have the possibility of touching the power of the Chosen One."

Luweiya nodded gently, but found that Xia De was looking at her:

"What are you looking at me for... You suspect I am? Xia De, I have never shown the power of time."

Xia De took out the coin he bought from the 【Forest Hermit Society】 today:

"Try divining it. You know yourself very well. Even if the story of the eighth Chosen One is just beginning to emerge, you should be able to divine some things."

The purple-eyed girl shook her head gently:

"Don't waste the coin here. If I were the Chosen One of Time, I would tell you. I only need to lift my hand and look at myself to know if I am."

"Have you found any abnormalities in yourself recently?"

Xia De opposite the table asked straightforwardly, and Luweiya hesitated before nodding:

"Yes, but I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't tell you. It's not that I'm afraid you'll worry about me, but I'm afraid you'll worry about Little Mia."

"Hmm? What does this have to do with Little Mia?"

"Meow~"

"No, I'm not calling your name."

The purple eyes looked at the cat under Xia De's hand with worry:

"When you showed us the Moon Fire at home this morning, I saw some peculiar scenes in that silver... I saw Little Mia eat the moon, and then spray silver fire towards the earth."

"Cat swallowing the moon~"

Xia De scratched the cat's chin, making the cat make a purring sound from its throat.

In the doomsday era of the "Past · Sixth Era," the sky is eternally dim yellow, and there is no longer a distinction between day and night. And hanging in the air is only that black sun that is about to go out and flowing with fire lines.

So the moon in the doomsday era has disappeared, and there must be a reason for this. Xia De had also thought about where the moon went before; it might have merged with the sun, it might have fallen to the earth, or it might have been thrown out of the material world.

And regardless of what Luweiya saw, whether she really peeped into the future, or the memory of the long-haired Luweiya influenced her, Xia De felt that this was probably the truth of the doomsday era.

As for why the cat in the past could swallow the moon, this is as puzzling as why the cat in the memory of the long-haired Luweiya in the doomsday era still exists (1155). And if we follow Adele's line of thinking, then this is probably because Luweiya did something.

"Little Mia's appetite is not that big; it can't swallow the moon."

Xia De patted the cat's little head again, telling Luweiya not to worry:

"Any so-called 'future vision,' the moment it is observed, the future has already changed, otherwise the Twin Princes would not have lost their status as candidates for the Chosen One as soon as they were born. Things like cats swallowing the moon are too far away; it's better to think about things in front of us."

"For example?"

"For example, with such heavy rain, what should we eat for breakfast tomorrow morning?"

They chatted in the study until nine o'clock in the evening. When Xia De felt a leg under the table touch him, he stretched;

"It's getting late, Luweiya, let's rest."

Little Mia, who might have swallowed the moon in some past, lived in the cat nest in the wardrobe again tonight. And even if it was challenging the knight alone tonight, the purple-eyed girl still showed fearless enthusiasm.

In the middle of the night, Luweiya, curled up in Xia De's arms, asked softly:

"You mentioned your new sorcery in the evening, the 【Undying Fire Mark】 that can track targets. Since Little Mia can accept the fire mark, I can too, right?"

Her voice was very gentle, but Xia De, holding her, did not agree:

"This fire mark is branded directly on the soul, and even I cannot erase it at present. With this, I can know your location anytime, anywhere. You also have your own privacy, and I don't want to offend you like this.

This sorcery always gives me a kind of... peculiar compulsion, and I don't intend to use it on you."

The girl, carrying the exhaustion after satisfaction, looked up at him:

"It doesn't matter, and I don't want you to not even know where I am after I encounter big trouble one day. I know what you are worried about, Xia De, don't mind this, I belong to you."

"But I still think it's very impolite to use this sorcery on people. I don't even plan to take the initiative to mention this sorcery to others later. I bought 【Forest Path】 from those hermits just to associate this sorcery with 'Direction' and not mention 【Undying Fire Mark】."

She smiled and rubbed Xia De's chest again:

"You are always so thoughtful, but I really thought about it before saying this. Besides, the world is so dangerous now. Since you want to protect me forever, how can you not know my location?"

Although she said this, Xia De still didn't want to agree. The divination lady was helpless about her man's stubbornness, so she could only rub against Xia De with her body in the quilt:

"It seems you are very dissatisfied tonight, so you refuse to agree. Alright then, I'll convince you."

"Luweiya~"

"Don't speak. Since you like my eyes so much, then you want to use your..."

"Luweiya!"

In the end, the divination lady convinced the Outsider, but that was already one o'clock in the morning. However, the two discussed where to leave the "Fire Mark." The traces left by 【Undying Fire Mark】 were not completely invisible; after all, this was a kind of mark.

For this fire mark to appear, the spiritual power needs to be extremely active or the emotions need to be extremely active. And in the state where the fire mark is manifested, Xia De can sense the location of the fire mark even without activating the sorcery.

For Little Mia, the fire mark on it will probably never manifest because the cat doesn't have much spiritual power, and it doesn't have excessive emotions usually. But Luweiya is different. Xia De doesn't want red or silver marks to appear on her forehead when she casts spells and fights.

"How about leaving the mark on the arm?"

Xia De suggested, silver moon fire jumping on his fingertips. Luweiya said she liked this color more.

But the purple-eyed girl, pillowing on his other arm, shook her head:

"If the mark is very bright, it might be seen even through the sleeve. It's better to put it here, absolute privacy..."

She leaned close to Xia De with a slightly red face and whispered the location. Xia De was extremely surprised:

"There?! Luweiya, have you also read the books of Ajelina confiscated by Leisia?"

"What books?"

The divination lady asked curiously. Only then did the Outsider realize that even on those reading materials of Ajelina, such advanced "creativity" had not yet appeared.

"Nothing, but I still recommend putting the fire mark on the arm. In this way, if I learn other supporting sorceries later, maybe you press that mark and I will know you are looking for me. This is better than..."

Her hand covered Xia De's mouth, and her purple eyes looked at Xia De brightly. Xia De swallowed, and asked with a muffled voice:

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

So the pure silver moon fire shone again in the dim bedroom. Luweiya lifted the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, watching Xia De's hand. In the end, although the spell was successful, looking at the beautiful silver pattern gradually disappearing, the Outsider still had a strange feeling.

Luweiya keenly noticed the strangeness he showed, so she slapped him twice:

"I can't do it tonight, I'll go find Galina or Dorothy tomorrow to leave it!"

After saying that, she smiled and hugged Xia De, and kissed him again in the Outsider's surprised eyes.

Early Tuesday morning, heavy rain still shrouded the entire Tobesk urban area. When getting up in the morning, Xia De was still thinking about whether the courier delivering newspapers and goat milk would be late. And when he opened the door downstairs in slippers, he really saw that there was already half a palm-deep water under the steps.

The postman and the delivery man from the milk company were both late. Standing under the eaves looking at the lonely square with no one, Xia De felt that it didn't matter if he didn't receive these things today; after all, everyone's life was very hard.

But obviously, the cat was not as magnanimous as Xia De. It was a bit dissatisfied that there was no goat milk this morning, and it looked unhappy all morning. And since it had been decided that he could not go or go to the forest land later today, Xia De didn't eat this breakfast in a hurry. ===== CHAPTER 2609 =====
