The artist lady's interest in "kissing" was even greater than Xia De thought, but in the end, she took the initiative to let go of Xia De. This was not because she was satisfied, but because she felt some subtle... changes in her body.

So the two who were kissing while rolling on the grass stood up. Although the witch was still a bit shy, at least she behaved generously:

"Galina seems to have taught you a lot of things, very good, I mean your kiss is very good."

She wiped her lips and threw a wink at Xia De again:

"But don't tell Galina about this immediately, I will tell her myself. It wasn't you who took the initiative to seduce me, I won't make it difficult for you."

She planned to wait until she had completely recovered to the eleventh level before speaking, to prevent the Duchess, who was at the twelfth level, from having no chance to fight back. Although she didn't feel too much moral inferiority, she could accept it if Galina took action against her after knowing about this.

While talking, she straightened her skirt, but Xia De reached out and grabbed her hand again.

The artist lady's face turned red:

"What are you doing? This is the wild... If you still want to kiss me, wait until we go back... just like you and Marguerite on the sofa this morning."

"I want to confirm your time curse."

Xia De said, not saying that she almost bit his lip just now:

"The time curse has deepened. Didn't you feel any abnormality yourself?"

The witch, who had returned to the eighth level, felt it. After the passion subsided, she could clearly know her current state:

"Okay, it basically offset the recovery effect of the 【Time Stability Anchor】 bought from the hermits. But this is nothing, after all, how much worse can it be? I am still an owl."

"Don't say that, a recovery method will be found sooner or later."

Xia De then gave her a hug, and the witch laughed again:

"So our adventure can be considered a success?"

"Of course, although I didn't intend to fight that 'Mourner' now, it's good that it disappeared due to an accident. No, don't touch this thing. Don't look at me being able to touch it directly with my hands, there is actually an instant-death curse on it."

Xia De picked up the withered eyeball, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it into his pocket:

"Do you know what this is?"

He asked, and the witch looked at it curiously and then shook her head.

"The remains of the legendary First Angel, that is, the Angel of Death of the ancient god 'Ancient God of Death'. For some reason, I have been collecting these remains for a friend. I originally thought the so-called remains were only bones. No, no, don't look at me like that, it's a male friend. You wouldn't think my friends are only girls, right?"

He asked in surprise, and Miss Wensley hugged him and kissed his face:

"Of course not, you continue."

"Okay. This so-called 'Mourner' has self-consciousness, but it is quite weak. Just now, the moment I touched the eyeball, I saw some of its memories. It was indeed sealed by the witch at that time in the Fifth Era, and then discovered by Bronte in the Sixth Era."

"Bronte destroyed the seal?"

"Or it can be said that the seal itself had problems. At that time, Theodore Bronte discovered this coffin in the forest, and after being cursed with 'Predestined Death', he moved it back to his family cemetery and buried it."

"Then he accidentally discovered that this coffin was also a tree hole, and because of the power inside the coffin, he directly tore open a passage to the edge of life and death in his family cemetery."

Xia De told the blurry pictures in the memory fragments he saw. In fact, the so-called blurry consciousness didn't exist in the Fifth Era, and all actions after that were just instincts.

Just like the first fire might reside in a special individual and become a "monster of crazy fire" (Chapter 2335), the remains of the Angel of Death can not only be implanted into the human body—such as Joey Barton—but also spontaneously absorb soul power to form a fake soul:

"The experience of Theodore Bronte sounds like the protagonist of a knight novel, it's just a pity that he made the wrong choice himself. But things other than this have not been solved, the tree hole is still a tree hole."

While the two were talking, they returned to the coffin. Because the coffin was open, the witch took a look inside, but what she saw was still darkness:

"The space inside this coffin..."

"That huge sub-space has collapsed. This coffin is the creation of an ancient Great Witch in the Fifth Era. She couldn't completely eliminate the Mourner, which was much stronger than it is now, so she could only choose to seal it."

The other party lost so quickly also because the power was worn away by years of sealing.

"There is a small sealing space inside the coffin itself, which became as big as we just saw because of the power of death. Now there is still a small space inside it, allowing those souls and resentment that have not been liberated to exist. Speaking of which, the soul of Theodore Bronte that is suspected to contain the Paradox Worm should still be in the coffin."

He lifted the coffin lid and covered it again, and Miss Wensley whispered:

"A space-type alchemical item made by an ancient witch... sounds very troublesome, I don't want to go in again."

"Can't go in for the time being. The space condition inside is extremely chaotic now. If you go in, you might not be able to come out. However, I think the power of the seal should be able to make the space stable soon. Before that, Theodore Bronte's soul can only stay inside."

Although Xia De hoped that the soul and the Paradox Worm in it could disappear in the spatial turbulence, he knew there was no such good thing no matter how he thought about it.

"However, if we can find a way to purify all the undead and resentment inside, this item should be able to become a space-type item that can be used normally... of course, we have to deal with the tree hole."

"Then what to do now? It's already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Are we taking this coffin back to the city? Can York Bronte track the location of this coffin?"

The witch asked again, but Xia De couldn't give a very clear answer:

"The tree hole cannot be turned into a toy, and I don't want to put the coffin in your room. Let's go discuss countermeasures with that elf girl. York Bronte in the city is waiting for us, so we must be prepared before that."

The coffin couldn't be turned into a toy, so it had to be carried by Xia De to be moved. This led to the "Owl Airlines" not being able to be used, but fortunately, there was a tree hole marked nearby on the hermits' map, which greatly saved time to go to the elf girl's residence.

The elf girl didn't go out on Saturday afternoon. Although she wasn't in the tree house, Xia De found her in her "Chocobo Farm."

"Wow! Chocobos! So many!"

The witch was quite surprised that there was such a large group of Chocobos in the forest, and touched the female Chocobos.

And the blonde girl, after hearing Xia De tell the origin of this coffin, decisively refused him to put the coffin here for a long time:

"It's no problem to store it here for the time being, and I can guarantee that York Bronte can't perceive it's here, but I don't want to put a coffin in the place where I sleep!"

She poked Xia De gently with her finger, her emerald eyes looking at him:

"Didn't I tell you the way to destroy the tree hole? You destroy the tree hole, and then put it in your house."

"Although I asked Miss Danister to borrow the 【Flute of Time】, the elves of the Moon Creek Clan said they needed to maintain it for another period of time. Some time ago, Miss Emilia Siamonod, an elf in the Academy, also said similar words. That sword was used in the Battle of Moon Bay and must be maintained to ensure its safety."

Hearing "Battle of Moon Bay," the witch who was touching the Chocobos immediately turned her head to look at them.

And the blonde elf girl considered it:

"Then reveal what happened here to the elves of the Academy, and then maybe you can borrow that sword. Go borrow it quickly, don't be lazy."

Saying this, she poked Xia De again. Seeing that they had finished talking, the witch on the side asked:

"I just heard you mention Moon Bay?

I read the report finally given by the local witch in the Council. If I remember correctly, except for a few holy swords like 【Pale Justice】 provided by the church, other holy swords were taken out by that God-Caller... Isn't 【Flute of Time】 a relic of St. Byron? Was it also in Moon Bay at that time?"

The blonde elf girl looked at Xia De with a smile, obviously not intending to answer this question herself.

"Yes, you probably don't know, at that time a young elf in the Academy who was only five rings..."

"Six rings!"

"The young elf who was six rings at the time held that sword and also joined the battlefield. She rode a young unicorn and performed no less than the chosen one Iluna Beias among everyone, and she was still an underage elf."

The elf girl was a bit shy because of what he said, poked Xia De again, and cast a spell to manipulate the coffin to fly towards her tree house. Seeing her go far away, the witch joked again:

"Do you need me to remind you on behalf of Danister? It is illegal to take action against an underage elf."

"She is three years older now than she was in Moon Bay."

Xia De looked at the elf's back and said, the witch raised her eyebrows and nodded, understanding Xia De's meaning. However, because of this interruption, she only thought that Emilia participated in the Battle of Moon Bay, and Xia De met her in the Academy, so she didn't continue to ask about things in Moon Bay.

She probably trusted the Moon Bay incident report of that blonde countess too much.

After temporarily settling the coffin, the owl carried Xia De the cat all the way back to the city. York Bronte certainly wouldn't wait for Xia De to appear in the city without doing anything. When the owl flew into the city area, she felt that the church's reconnaissance barrier had been opened, and huge dark clouds appeared in the southeast, northwest, and due west outside the city. It seemed that something had happened in the city.
