Chapter 2691: Forgetting

The outlander was originally worried that he wouldn't know how to row in the air, but when he stood at the bow of the boat trying to control the small boat, he found that it was no more difficult than sailing on the water, it just required him to consume extra spirit.

So the small boat returned toward the starry sky, and at a certain moment, it suddenly entered a cloud of thick fog.

Xia De and Mr. Nelson successfully returned to Black Sand Wharf, and just as the two walked down from the wharf, a staggering woman's figure had already walked toward this side on the beach in the distance.

"Is it her?"

The two witches by the campfire also stood up, and the four looked at the figure who had even lost her shoes. And when she got closer, Mr. Nelson rushed up immediately:

"Melanie!"

It was no coincidence that this lady appeared now. Xia De looked back at the "boatman" by the wharf, and then looked at Mr. Nelson pulling his wife to the campfire.

Compared with the woman in the attic he saw a few minutes ago, her changes were not big. It was just that she was mentally normal, but at this time she was crazy like a mental patient.

She was trying hard to resist Mr. Nelson's strength, desperately wanting to board the wharf:

"George, for my own good, please let me leave. Those memories, those experiences have been torturing my soul, I won't get peace even if I die. Please let me take a boat and leave, George, if you still love me, please let me leave."

"Can you make her calm down?"

Xia De asked Ms. Brock, so the latter reached out and pointed at the woman's forehead, and she immediately fell into a coma.

Mr. Nelson immediately thanked the witch, and then carefully placed his wife on the sand by the campfire.

Xia De put the cat, which was very obedient today, on his shoulder, squatted down, and pressed his hand on Mrs. Nelson's forehead. After waiting for a moment, he said:

"It seems my guess just now was correct. She has indeed seen the end of the world."

"End of the world?"

Miss McCona covered her mouth, and Ms. Brock taught:

"All mortals must die, all things must end. This world has a beginning and an end. There is nothing worth being surprised about."

Xia De also said:

"Please rest assured, although the end of the world will inevitably come, at least it will not come in your era."

The young witch was relieved, and Ms. Brock arched an eyebrow, feeling that she had probably guessed where Xia De came from:

"I originally thought that even if there were unpleasant memories, I could delete those memories through soul secret arts, but now it seems that the influence she received is rooted in the soul. If I were to delete or change memories, it would cause damage to the soul, and she would become another person."

"Wake her up again, I want to talk to her."

Xia De said again, so the witch woke up the woman who was in a coma. Sure enough, Mrs. Nelson wanted to run to the wharf again the first time she woke up, but was pressed down by Xia De with one hand.

She looked at the handsome young man's face, but saw the serious expression on Xia De's face:

"What on earth have you seen?"

The campfire crackled, and the cat on his shoulder yawned, then watched Xia De do things with great interest.

"End of the world, I saw..."

"I don't want to hear these terms, I want to hear the specific details. Why do you know it's the end of the world? What did you experience?"

So the woman's face showed a terrified expression. She tried to open her mouth but couldn't speak, tried to gesture with her hands but no one could understand what she meant.

A corner of the Destiny Ring floated behind Xia De, and the light of the Whisper-End Spirit Rune flickered:

"Mystery-End City Tobesk!"

Of course, he didn't want to activate the Mystery, but just drew a part of its power. Mr. Nelson and the two witches couldn't understand what Xia De was doing, but Mrs. Nelson shed tears immediately:

"That's it! That's it! I saw it, I saw the sunset of the last day of the world, I saw the last trace of color in this world in the yellow sand..."

She even reached out and hugged Xia De. Xia De patted her back understandingly. Mr. Nelson stood on the side looking somewhat at a loss, so Xia De pushed the poor woman away:

"If you can't say what you saw, can you tell me how you came back?"

The crying Mrs. Nelson replied:

"Don't remember, I wandered there, and came back after losing consciousness."

This was probably destined to be a mystery, but it also showed that she actually didn't stay in that era of yellow sand for long. After all, even when Xia De used the Black Time Key for the first time, he almost fainted on the spot.

But there was still a doubt about this matter. Anything from the end of the world would carry the power of the end of the world. Xia De was fine because he used the Time Key, Long-Haired Luweiya reshaped time, and Adele either borrowed the power of the Council or relied on Xia De's magical means.

But Mrs. Nelson, as an ordinary person, after returning from the era of the end of the world, except for her own mental confusion, did not have other things happen. The power of the end of the world did exist on her, but it was very light.

"I have also witnessed the scenery there. It is indeed terrible, but at least I can guarantee that you don't need to face that era. That era is very far away from you, very, very far away."

Mrs. Nelson looked at the outlander in the firelight:

"If you have also witnessed the ending of all of us, sir, why are you not surprised or afraid at all?"

"Because I really have to face that era. I don't have time to be surprised or afraid. Even if I am scared out of my wits, I must be strong and go to meet the ending that my family and friends will inevitably face."

Mrs. Nelson's emotions calmed down a little, but when Xia De let go of the hand pressing on her shoulder, she still looked at the wharf. The calmness of emotions could not change the reality, she still wanted to escape everything she knew.

Mr. Nelson saw this and said:

"Melanie, if you really want to leave, then let me leave with you."

He had been waiting by the campfire for so long, and had long been prepared.

So the couple's hands were held together again, but Xia De blocked them:

"Although I came here just to 'wait with mortals for the person about to leave,' logically speaking, my task has been completed. But after waiting for so long, I am still not reconciled to just watching them leave like this. I will try again, you wait a little longer."

He let the four people by the campfire sit down again, and he boarded the wharf and came to the boat:

"Can you help? Erase the memory of Mrs. Nelson about the end of the world, let her forget all this."

Only the god here could do this, but facing Xia De's request, the god did not give an answer.

So he said again:

"You can pay some price, you can make an offer first. If it really doesn't work, you can send them away. I don't force it, after all, those powers of the end of the world cannot stay in the Fifth Era."

The tall boatman under the black robe then spoke:

"I can wash away some of a mortal's memories, but you must..."

"Meow meow~"

"You can't be so rude!"

Xia De hurriedly scolded the cat that had suddenly called out at the ferryman, and stuffed it into his clothes:

"Sorry, please continue."

"Have you brought the frozen soul?"

"I have. In a moment, I want to use this to exchange for a one-way ticket to visit that Ice Witch Empress, Miss Chloe Marx."

Thinking that he would be able to see Chloe soon, Xia De couldn't help but reveal a smile. Only half of the fifty minutes have passed; if they see Chloe in a moment, they won't just have time for a hug and a few words.

If he could persuade the Tree Father to extend the time, that would of course be great, but even if the Tree Father didn't agree, although twenty minutes is also short, it is at least enough for the two to take a walk together, then say a formal goodbye and agree to meet again next time.

"Sacrifice this frozen soul to me, and I can make that mortal forget memories they shouldn't have."

The god then made a request, and Xia De refused without even thinking.

Although he doesn't mind doing good deeds, the premise is that it cannot affect himself. This frozen soul was originally related to the power Chloe gave him; if he ended up not seeing her, then Xia De would really have no face to see Chloe again in the future:

"Then forget it. Please send them away, but can you let them be a couple again in their next life? Oh, that request seems a bit excessive. I'll go notify them to board the ship. When you return, I will send the other two witches back to reality."

No matter what, at least everyone should be satisfied with this result, so Xia De had no psychological burden. He turned to go call them, not wanting to waste a single second, but the "ferryman" called him back again:

"Or, there is another option."

Seeing Xia De turn back and look over here with the cat poking its head out from his chest, the god said:

"Keep an item for me."

"Keep what?"

The god handed him the oar.

Soon, the four people by the campfire, each with their own worries, saw Xia De walking down from the pier, holding a cup in his hand. Only Xia De and the cat knew that what was in the cup was the water from under the ship, only this water was personally fetched by the god:

"Drink it and you will be fine, forget all troubles, forget all fears."

Xia De handed over the cup. Mr. Nelson took it hesitantly, unable to believe that things were solved so simply. So Mrs. Nelson took the water cup directly from her husband's hand and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

The cup fell onto the sandy ground without making much of a sound. The woman, who had just been about to become restless again, let out a long moan, like the final wail of a person before death, and then closed her eyes.

"Melanie!"

"I'm fine..."

The woman opened her eyes again, but her gaze was filled with confusion:

"Where am I? Yes, at the pier... I feel like I've forgotten something very important... George, why are you crying?"
