Chapter 2634: The Banquet of the Crowd
Clearly, the elf "ambushing" Xia De in front of Yin Yi Yi Lu Na made the Chosen One very dissatisfied. And the elf girl struggled for a moment, finding that her strength was still no match for Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's, so she asked in confusion:
"Your heterochromatic eyes are really beautiful... But who is Amelia?"
Yin Yi Yi Lu Na held her wrist and looked at her. The eighteen-year-old girl was definitely not jealous, just... unconvinced:
"What kind of game are you playing? Xia De and Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te are both here; do you want to ask them who you are?"
The red-haired girl on the side pursed her lips and smiled, but to the elf's relief, she did not speak.
So the elf girl cast a look of help toward Xia De; she couldn't answer this question.
"Alright, alright, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, this is one of my current partners, an elf who lives locally."
Xia De then reached out to separate them, letting the blonde elf leave the woods with the 【God's Gift Box】, but Yin Yi Yi Lu Na did not accept this explanation:
"Isn't that Amelia? Although I don't know why she grew up, I definitely wouldn't recognize the wrong person."
So, Amelia's disguise had not worked a single time so far.
With the matter of the 【Hide-and-Seek Boy】 over, the group returned to the Collins Manor where the wedding banquet was still ongoing. The guests at the manor did not realize what had happened in the woods nearby just now, and since all the things that needed to be done at this banquet were finished, Xia De could also dance with the girls.
First, of course, was Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. Although Xia De had danced with her just now, that was not perfect after all; Xia De was actually dancing with two people. And now that there were finally no other worries, the eighteen-year-old girl, held in Xia De's arms, sighed, enjoying her hard-won vacation.
But in fact, as long as she wanted to ask for leave, unless there was truly an urgent matter, the Church would not stop her.
"The last time we danced was already several months ago."
She sighed softly, but still remained interested in Amelia's matter:
"Did she travel through time?"
"My guess is that."
"Then she is a Chosen One."
The eighteen-year-old girl swayed her body with Xia De. This dance music was very soothing, but she also didn't forget to look up at Xia De and ask:
"Then how old is Amelia now?"
"Three years older than the Amelia you know."
So Yin Yi Yi Lu Na smiled under this autumn night, and she smiled very beautifully:
"Clearly she grew taller in three years, but her figure actually hasn't changed at all."
Next was Miss Wen Si Lai Te. The witch had originally wanted to be reserved, but seeing the elf actually kiss Xia De just now, when Xia De issued an invitation afterward, she took his hand without hesitation:
"What does artifact mean?"
The witch naturally had her own questions too.
"It means exactly what it says; that relic is a Sage-level relic and also a God-made object."
The matter of the 【God's Gift Box】 had originally caused a huge stir in Tobesk last summer, but the "Night of God's Descent" that followed had stolen all the limelight, so Miss Wen Si Lai Te did not recognize what it was.
The witch's golden eyes looked at the handsome young man who was holding her hand and waist:
"I find that there are more and more mysteries about you. The more I know, the more I find you are hiding. If it was just suspicion this morning, then now I am certain: Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Bei Ya Si, this girl who is enough to stir up the situation of the entire material world, is your lover, right?"
The two looked together at Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who was talking to Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te in the rest area by the dance floor. Xia De nodded:
"Yes."
He of course would not deny it:
"That's why I said before that I don't mind you knowing me, but there are really too many things about me, so I can only let you see for yourself. If I told you directly that the Chosen One is my lover, you would definitely ask more questions. But if you discover it yourself, your doubts won't be as many."
The witch close at hand had some different meaning in her eyes, and she leaned closer to Xia De again, even by the standards of dancing, this distance was really too close.
But Flora Wen Si Lai Te did not care about this point; the people dancing were all background boards to her, and only he and she were real:
"If, I want to know more?"
The emotion contained in her eyes was definitely more than just an artist pursuing art or satisfying her own curiosity. At this moment, her exquisite nose had already touched Xia De's nose, and Xia De also heard the declaration of this bold and unrestrained witch:
"I want to pursue you. Yes, since Jia Lin Na can't control you, then I won't be polite."
She said this with a smile, then kissed Xia De on the face:
"You can tell Jia Lin Na about this; if she has the ability, she can just come to Vista City to find me."
She had sufficient confidence. This was not because she thought her cursed state of turning into an owl could defeat the Twelfth-Order Duchess, but because the Speaker Adele Isabella had strictly forbidden anyone from entering the Vista Woodland without her permission, so the dead Great Witch still had a long time to prepare.
The witch satisfiedly released Xia De's hand for the time being after one dance. She planned to go talk to Yin Yi Yi Lu Na again; that girl looked very simple.
Next to be held by Xia De was Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te. Since the eighteen-year-old red-haired girl had already come, she of course would not leave. But it was not Xia De who invited her to dance, but she who took the initiative to request it.
When the new dance music began, she asked very directly:
"You met my teacher in 1821, right?"
Her rose-red eyes even had a serious look when asking this question. Xia De sighed;
"So you all really have your own problems, but you wouldn't say something like 'I smelled a familiar perfume,' would you?"
This was clearly a "professional skill" of witches.
The red-haired girl then looked at him with a somewhat sorrowful expression while dancing:
"They said you found a suitable helper in 1821 to help you. But besides the teacher, what other helper could you have in that era? You weren't even born then."
She stepped forward as Xia De retreated, her rose-red eyes continuing to stare at him:
"So you met the teacher, right?"
Xia De did not lie to her:
"Yes... I asked her if she wanted to see you, but she refused; she didn't want to cause a time paradox."
Dan Dac Nisi Te Gustav's expression changed, but the Outlander could not describe what kind of expression that was. She also leaned closer to Xia De, but not to kiss him, instead holding him and putting her head on his shoulder:
"Teacher... is she okay?"
"She looks very good. She is a Thirteenth-Order sorcerer, and she used a relic to delay the curse until the moment of death. She is in a better state than you... We even talked about the Moonlight Greatsword, and she taught me some techniques for using this miracle."
"Yes, Moonlight Greatsword; the teacher almost turned it into a brand-new miracle..."
She didn't say anything else, just held Xia De and finished the dance. Only when the two were about to separate did the eighteen-year-old red-haired girl finally ask:
"Will you still help me look for the teacher's tracks?"
"Of course, but I will also always stop you from traveling through time again."
She bit her lip and kissed Xia De on the side of his face very generously. After turning around, she was pulled back by Xia De. The handsome young man from the North looked at her in the crowd:
"Go investigate whether there is a cursed large tree near the collapsed ancient tower of Mount Caras."
"What do you mean?"
"That lady told me herself that the content of her time curse is gradually turning into a large tree."
The red-haired girl kissed him again, but this time it was not on the face. She quickly broke free from his hand and left the dancing crowd, leaving only Xia De, whose lip had been bitten, standing there watching her back:
"Near the ruins of Mount Caras, it is highly probable that the tree cannot be found."
【Because the Truth Society was active in that area, yet found nothing?】
"No, it is because that place seems to be the beginning of everything. The Moon Tower of Mount Caras, falling from the tower, the spring of 1853... Do you remember not long ago, when Miss Wen Si Lai Te asked Miss Bei Lin De Er to divine my origin, what was the third card besides the upright Moon and the reversed Tower?" (Chapter 2615)
【Reversed Tree.】
Xia De's expression darkened somewhat in the courtyard lights:
"Reversed Tree also has the meaning of a cursed large tree.
These things all happened at that ancient Moon Tower. I somewhat suspect that Miss Hai Lian Na Ka Te is related to my appearance... This level of secret will not be revealed so easily.
Of course, if it can be found, that would be even better."
At the wedding banquet that night, Xia De even danced a dance with Miss Bei Er. However, compared to dancing, the pale-faced young black-haired girl was clearly more interested in the Rod card game at the banquet.
It was just that she had to follow Miss Wen Si Lai Te, and she was only an attendant of an invited guest, not an invited guest herself, so she couldn't go play cards. However, before the banquet officially ended, Xia De did play two card games with her without stakes.
The group stayed at the banquet until very late, so after the banquet ended, Xia De and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na didn't even return to the Accordion Hotel, but said goodbye to the ladies at the manor entrance and returned home together.
Lu Wei Ya and Little Mia at home were still waiting for them to return. Seeing the two walk up from the basement holding hands, the purple-eyed girl knew they had had a very good day:
"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na should stay here tonight; it's drizzling outside again, so you two shouldn't go out."
The rainfall in Tobesk this autumn was significantly higher than in other years, and the drizzle on Thursday night had turned into a downpour by early Friday morning. This not only caused the morning postman and milkman to be late, but also caused Father Augustus, who came to No. 6 Saint Deran Square wearing an umbrella and rain boots, to almost fall on the steps when he risked crossing from the carriage door to the rain eaves of Xia De's house.
"Please don't leave yet; I'll be out immediately."
The priest said to the carriage driver, then walked into the foyer and closed the door. The carriage driver outside would of course wait for him; this was not only because no one would suspect an old priest who got on at the door of the Dawn Church, but also because the priest hadn't paid yet. ===== CHAPTER 2635 =====
