Chapter 2623

"I see, then if Yiluna and I can come back before evening, I will attend the banquet."

Xia De nodded, then looked at Yiluna, and the eighteen-year-old girl also nodded:

"I will also attend, I took a whole day off today, and I have time during the day and at night."

The acorn soaked in Xia De's blood has been carried on his body. As for the secret place in the forest marked by Luweiya, it is located in the southwest of the city, that is, near the direction of Wilandale City.

"What is the relationship between Xia De and this Miss Miss Beiyasi?"

After the two were sent downstairs by Miss Bell, the witch asked questions as usual, and the red-haired girl who was planning to look at the local information again was stunned for a moment before asking:

"Are you asking me?"

So the witch was even more surprised:

"There are only two of us here, if I'm not asking you, who am I asking? Look at that young girl, her outfit doesn't look like she's going to explore the forest with Xia De, but rather like going for an outing outside the city."

"Why do you think I know the answer to this question? Don't be surprised first, I need to clarify one point: although I am Xia De's teacher in name, I don't know all his secrets."

Miss Danister was quite honest:

"Although I know more than you, it is obviously only a part. As for that Miss Miss Beiyasi, I can only tell you that her relationship with Xia De is very good, very, very good."

The witch turned into an owl and stood on the back of the sofa again:

"Don't tell me that Galina can't even manage her own man, and that Miss Miss Beiyasi is his lover."

Thinking of what she had learned, the red-haired girl showed a strange smile:

"Lover? Probably not Miss Miss Beiyasi's turn yet."

"What did you say?"

"I mean, why don't you ask yourself? Compared to Xia De, that Miss Miss Beiyasi is more innocent. If you show enough kindness, she shouldn't mind complaining to you about the knight gentleman of Tobesk."

Yiluna was still very interested in this strange southern city, but the two had to do business first, so Xia De didn't take her to visit landmarks like the Golden Music Hall.

The carriage sent them to the edge of the city, and then Xia De took Yiluna's hand and opened the miracle "Forest Path", moving forward with her all the way to the depths of the forest.

It could be seen that Yiluna was in a good mood. Xia De talked about the things that happened recently while walking forward. And Yiluna also shared interesting things with Xia De recently. She felt a little regretful that the church had not yet obtained the answer to the question Xia De asked the gods—in fact, the oracle had not come down yet, and then talked about Vesta City.

"The Holy See has already written to me, explaining the situation here. However, this time the Holy See said that they don't intend to let me come here immediately."

She held Xia De's hand and stepped on the withered yellow fallen leaves under her feet, watching the big-tailed squirrel on the tree on the side busy transporting the pine cones picked up from the ground.

In her heart, she didn't know how she thought that if Little Mia was here at this time, she would definitely meow at that squirrel, and then scare it into dropping the pine cone and fleeing immediately, so a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously:

"The Holy See said that once involved in big trouble related to time, even if I am a Chosen One, it is difficult to protect myself. So the church's plan is to dig from the Nature Church here first to see what they know, and then make a support plan.

Currently, the local support team only has the thirteen-ring 'Construct Master' gentleman of the Creation Church you mentioned and the organized high-ring warlocks, so although you won't get much help from the church this time, at least you won't bump into church people too frequently."

Xia De turned his head to look at her:

"Miss Danister also said that the Academy currently has no plans to send people here, and the Witch Council also has no plans to let other witches come to support in the near future. But speaking of which, it seems like a long time since we walked together like this, right?"

"Yes."

Yiluna obviously had deep resentment, and she didn't hide this point:

"Originally, the three of us agreed to walk together, but as a result, after your relationship with Luweiya made great progress, I often felt like an outsider."

While speaking, she gently shook the hand she was holding with Xia De:

"And everyone is very busy usually, and I can't bear to disturb you always. And with my current identity, if I go to see Luweiya too frequently, it will probably be very suspicious... But it's good that you still think of me, Xia De, I don't ask for much."

She didn't look at Xia De at all when she said these words, but pretended to be very interested in the scenery in front. And the outlander was no longer the guy who didn't understand anything last summer. He gently squeezed Yiluna's hand:

"Luweiya and I have not forgotten the original agreement. We walked all the way, every event can be without Galina, can be without other witches, but none can be without you two."

He also looked forward:

"Anyway, we have already gone out today, and everyone doesn't know what we went to do. If things go well later, let's walk around in the forest and go back in the evening, okay? There are many interesting things in the forest in autumn. Do you want to try a picnic by the creek, or go chase the deer in the forest together, or go see the brown bears preparing for winter?"

"Are there brown bears in the Vesta Woodlands? Oh, I mean, this is not good, it's a waste of time..."

"Then I will take it as you accepted my invitation."

Yiluna bit her lip, trying not to let herself show a smile that was too obvious.

Although there was no convenient "Owl Airlines", relying on miracles, they still arrived at their destination at eleven o'clock this morning. This place, like the hermits' station in the north of Creekwood Town, is a location very deep in the forest area, and even hunters will not come here on weekdays.

Xia De held the map marked by Luweiya and kept using "Powerful Spatial Perception" to determine the location, and finally stopped with Yiluna beside a nameless mountain stream:

"According to Luweiya's marking, cross this stream, and the south bank is the place we are looking for."

He raised his head and looked at the forest on the south bank of the stream with Yiluna:

"But haven't we walked from the opposite side twice already? With our perception, plus my miracles, it's impossible not to find the abnormality nearby."

"Then that place is hidden! This requires puzzle solving!"

Yiluna looked excited:

"Xia De, is there any marking nearby on the map the hermits sold you?"

"No, I checked before setting off. The hermits' main activity area is north of Creekwood Town, and they rarely come to such a southern position."

The two crossed the stream again and came to the south bank. Yiluna proposed to use miracles to crack the puzzle, but Xia De's "Truth Crystal" still had no effect.

Afterwards, the two used charms again, and after gaining nothing, Yiluna proposed:

"Xia De, use 'Truth Crystal' again, this time extreme casting."

Steam mist appeared behind both of them at the same time, the nine-ring and eight-ring life rings appeared together, and Yiluna's life ring was quickly transformed into that dark golden balance. On Xia De's life ring, the whisper-prejudice emitted a dazzling black spiritual light, and then the white transparent crystal floated in his palm.

"Don't move, but if there is any discomfort, tell me immediately, I just want to try it."

Yiluna reminded, then raised her dark golden balance higher and higher until the balance left her hands and flew behind Xia De.

The dark gold rippling with the spiritual light on Xia De's life ring just touched, the power from different souls actually had no resistance, but instead seemed to attract each other, letting Yiluna's balance finally stop in the center of Xia De's life ring.

The huge brass wheel ring revolved around the sacred balance, the 【Space-Time】 and 【Silver Moon】 spirit runes surrounded the ancient balance, and the dark golden light gradually invaded Xia De's life ring. Xia De obviously felt that his spellcasting ability had gained a wonderful enhancement.

Yiluna looked up at this scene quite satisfied:

"Since we merged in the Green Lake last time, I have had this idea. Your soul is far stronger than mine. Since it can perfectly accommodate my power in the maze state, theoretically it should also be possible in the normal state. How does it feel now?"

"It feels strange, but it should be fine like this—Truth Crystal!"

The white transparent crystal, following his spellcasting again, was actually stained with Yiluna's dark gold. The spirits of the two flowed away at the same time, Xia De even felt that Yiluna, who was standing on the side, was sticking to him from another dimension at this time. This feeling was indeed strange.

And when the dark golden light emitted by the crystal formed ripples and expanded to the surroundings, the narrow distance between the two big trees in their eight o'clock direction suddenly expanded to the size of an open space, and in the open space was a temple ruin of broken walls and ruins.

The completeness of this ruin was at least better than the ruin where the "Space Maze" was located, not only because one of the four walls of the temple remained standing, but also because there was an altar in the center of the temple.

The most complete wall remaining was the wall at the entrance of the temple. There were steps covered with wild grass in front of the wall, which also made this broken and ancient stone wall look like an arch at this time.

And the altar behind the arch was built of huge stones, its surface had been eroded by time and was mottled, and it was covered with a thin layer of moss. In the gaps between the stones that made up the stone steps, walls, and altar, even in autumn, small wild flowers and vines grew.

Since the last time someone left this temple, I don't know how long time has passed. Spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, frost, rain, and snow, this place has cleverly integrated with this forest. Desolation and holiness are cleverly connected, making this picture that appears at this time look like a static landscape painting.
