Chapter 2614: Early-rising Witch and the Sixth Key

~10 min read 1,960 words

The marks left by the sorcery "Undying Fire Mark" are usually invisible and only manifest when emotions change drastically and spiritual power is extremely agitated, so it was normal for Galina to discover the traces on Luweiya this night.

Xia De really didn't anticipate this point this time, and the red-haired witch who found out the effect of this sorcery really didn't want to fall behind. Xia De certainly didn't want to agree, but this time it was Luweiya and Galina asking together. The Outsider never fears strong enemies or terrifying monsters, but is uniquely defenseless against the girls who make requests in bed.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave this third fire mark. The Grand Duchess also chose the beautiful silver moon fire, but no matter what she said, Xia De didn't agree to leave the fire mark in the same position as Luweiya, and didn't even agree to leave it in the position closest to her heart:

"It can only be the arm, yes, no negotiation this time. You are a witch, your current posture is the most perfect, I don't want you to have some messy 'tattoos', this is a serious blasphemy to your unparalleled charm."

He took out this reason, and Galina had no choice but to accept it reluctantly. So before the Grand Duchess went to sleep that night, a small "Moon Mark" appeared on the outside of her right arm. She didn't complain that Xia De was "biased," but "warned" Xia De condescendingly:

"If Leisia and Vanessa's treatment is different from mine, I will definitely be angry!"

If she couldn't get it, she didn't want others to get it either. However, she didn't get to see Xia De's reaction to this sentence because he was busy kissing Luweiya at this time.

The end of Tuesday also meant the end of September 1854, the Harvest Month. Although it couldn't be called a "harvest" yet, regardless, time always continues forward fairly, and this is the same for everyone.

When the bell of midnight rang in the house, the first day of the Withered Leaf Month officially arrived. Xia De, who was playing with Galina and Luweiya, immediately realized that the black time key that was punished and could not be used could be used again at this time.

However, he couldn't use the key for the first time. This was not because he didn't want to do such things at night, but because the two ladies wouldn't let him leave. Not to mention "I'll leave for three seconds," even if it was just one second, it would seriously affect the feelings between them, so the opportunity to see Adele again could be left until tomorrow.

And on the first morning of the Withered Leaf Month, Xia De was awakened by the rumbling thunder outside the window. However, although it was thundering all morning, it unexpectedly only dripped a few drops of light rain, which made the City Hall breathe a sigh of relief. You know, because of the heavy rain in the past few days, the water level of the Tararell River had already risen to the warning line.

Iluna and Xia De both had the good habit of getting up early, so Galina, who had always hated getting up early, actually ordered Tiffa to come over and wake her up earlier than Iluna this morning, so that she could return to the side bedroom early.

She didn't want to lose face in front of Iluna.

But this meant that Tiffa got the right to enter Xia De's room without permission this morning. When she walked in on tiptoe, Xia De was already awake, and it was hard for Xia De to describe his mood when he was seen by this black-haired maid wearing a black and white maid outfit holding Galina and Luweiya who were naked in his left and right hands.

But the maid chief was professional enough. She tilted her head and blinked her left eye at Xia De with a smile, and then gently woke up her mistress:

"Miss, it's time to go back."

"Is it already dawn?"

The sleepy witch squinted her eyes, looking like she hadn't woken up completely, but she still kissed Xia De, and then hurried back to the side bedroom. She still had to sleep for a while before getting up for breakfast.

Luweiya, who was disturbed, squirmed with her eyes closed and looked like she hadn't woken up completely, so Tiffa's eyes bent because of the smile on her face. She bent down and gave Xia De a deep kiss, and then gently touched his forehead with her lips. Only then did she bend down to pick up the Grand Duchess's underwear on the carpet and turn to leave with a smile.

"Meow~"

The cat, who lived downstairs with the maid ladies, took the opportunity to slip in from the door, and then jumped onto the bed, lying on the pillow the witch had just been lying on. The cat also closed its eyes. It was not yet six o'clock, and it had to sleep for a while longer.

The weather outside the window this morning was gloomy, but this didn't affect Xia De's good mood. The whole family had breakfast together. Xia De went downstairs and sent off Iluna, Luweiya, Galina, and the maid ladies respectively, and only then did he take out the black time key hanging around his neck:

"It hasn't been used for a full month and a half, don't know what kind of enemy I have to face this time."

"Meow~"

"No, the doomsday era is too dangerous, no matter what, you can't go—may the World Tree protect me in infinite time!"

【Outsider, please note. Message from "Infinite Tree Father": You are allowed to carry two additional relics this time.】

"Perfume bottle and..."

He hesitated between 【Night Watchman】 and 【Star Trace】:

"Perfume bottle and Star Trace."

He didn't even go upstairs, directly pushed open the door of the house at the end of the entrance hall. Behind the door was the endless white fog. Xia De put other items on his body on the shoe cabinet temporarily and patted Little Mia, only then walking into it.

【Outsider, you have stepped into the "Time Corridor."】

【Message from the Old God "Infinite Tree Father":】

【Past · Sixth Era, Old Continent, City of End · Tobesk.】

【Event: Tobesk, the Last Era.】

【Duration: Arbitrary (6/∞).】

【You have obtained additional information.】

【You have stepped into non-existent history.】

【The figure of the Infinite Tree Father watches you.】

【Note: During this exploration, you cannot leave the scope of St. Theresa Square.】

【Note: You are allowed to carry any spellcasting materials into this period of time.】

【Note: Using the time key to defeat any strong enemy can return you to the "current" time.】

Even though it was already the sixth time, when Xia De appeared in the house of the doomsday era, he still squatted down covering his forehead because of the discomfort.

After recovering for a long time, he stood up, looked at the cold and damp living room, and then walked quickly towards the stairs.

Outside the door was yellow sand all over the sky, and in the sky floated the huge building complex surrounded by storms and that black sun. The red bright line "dripping" from under the black sun seemed to be the original color of the sun, and after looking around the sky and confirming that he couldn't find the moon, Xia De almost confirmed that what Luweiya said "Little Mia swallowed the moon and sprayed silver fire towards the world" was probably true.

The familiar scenery was nothing to look at. Xia De took out Adele's pocket watch, and then looked at the string of glowing runes on the square floor tiles rolling with sand:

"Adele Isabella."

As the content of the rune string was read out, the translucent lady stood up holding the hem of her skirt. When she raised her head, her body had already completely solidified:

"Xia De!"

She opened her arms and hugged him, and Xia De also reached out and hugged her. Two souls hugged tightly. The once lonely Outsider had long been no longer lonely, and the Great Witch of Time, who was not lonely originally, had lost everything except him at this moment.

It was precisely because he understood her at this time that he understood the significance of this hug after reuniting for her.

"Last time I was summoned to my era, do you miss it very much?"

He waited for a while before asking softly. The blonde witch hugged him and nodded gently, then took a deep breath, as if wanting to suck all the breath from the pre-doomsday era on Xia De into her nose:

"Very nostalgic, whether it's those people or those sceneries... I smell Galina's perfume now, which is also very nostalgic."

Xia De also laughed, continuing to hug her tightly:

"One day I will find a way to bring you to the present world permanently. Didn't the last incident prove that you appearing at the same time as Miss Isabella of the present world is no problem? Even the time curse doesn't exist."

"This must be Lu..."

"This should have nothing to do with Luweiya. Luweiya's method of going to the 'next era' is not a real time travel."

Adele nodded gently, let go of Xia De, and stepped back slightly. Seeing Xia De looking at her, she was quite embarrassed:

"Even if I can't live in your era, it doesn't matter. As long as you can keep coming to see me, my life here is actually okay."

"Don't you want to be told by the long-haired Luweiya in the end that you are actually a lover I hid in another time and space? You will definitely be mocked by her."

Adele thought about it and thought Xia De's words made sense, so she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him enthusiastically. She didn't close her eyes, but kept looking at him with blurred eyes.

At this moment, the Outsider understood that even if he could never find a way to take her away, she would always be waiting here for his appearance time after time. For Adele Isabella, who was lonely waiting here, this was the true "until the end of time."

In the past month and a half, from the aftermath of the Battle of Moon Bay to Vanessa's promotion, from the time story of Vista City to the recent Moon Fire, Xia De had many things he wanted to share with Adele, but this had to wait until he defeated the strong enemy this time.

In the first five arrivals, Xia De had already faced the space disaster - the twin lovers Smith couple, the darkness disaster - the deep sea shadow Mrs. Lemay, the death disaster - the undead ghost Mr. Bernhard, the earth disaster - the sand worm Professor Drake, and the light disaster - the light prayer Brown lady.

Xia De was actually very curious whether different types of evil things under the same disaster would appear, but at least he didn't have the chance to verify his idea this time, because this time it was a new disaster.

Kissing Xia De on the side of the face as a blessing, Adele leaned against the wall of St. Theresa Square No. 6, watching Xia De walk step by step towards the square rolling with sand in the wind and sand.

This time the wind was stronger than the previous few times, especially when Xia De walked into the square, he even felt that the wind was going to blow him up. ===== CHAPTER 2615 =====
