Chapter 2714: Family Harmony
"If it's just a test..."
Xia De thought for a while:
"So, no need to pay attention to the trees, Hoy Manor, and the Condor family, right? This looks too deliberate."
"No, no, no, Detective."
The doctor shook his head again:
"It just wants you to think this way, because normal people will think this way. So, its real purpose is still on this."
Xia De was already too lazy to ask the doctor what to do if the demon also thought this way:
"Then Doctor, what do you think that demon is going to do? If it just likes to burn things, then it failed to ignite Hoy Manor tonight, does that mean it will still ignite that place?"
"That manor being burned by a big fire is a destined thing. There is no need to doubt this point. I'm just thinking..."
The doctor pondered for a moment:
"Detective, go and check the bodies of the Hoy family who were burned to death three hundred years ago. Since the Hoy family was highly likely involved with the demon back then, go and find the bodies and bring them to me. Even if their souls have been taken away by the demon, I have a way to make them speak."
Xia De nodded. Miss Bell was still checking this matter:
"There may not be results. Since the Church of Nature has already dealt with the demon, the bodies that might be related to the demon were likely also harmlessly treated by the church, but I can try to find them."
"Then is this flame left by you or taken away by me, or can you make it into a prop to track the demon?"
The doctor shook his head:
"This is only a part of the demon's power. I need its essence. You take it away. Doesn't your nun friend like special flames? Oh, also, if that demon really took away a part of the Primordial Fire, can't your nun friend track it based on this?"
"I can't contact Sister Daifulin for the time being. She told other nuns that she was going to carry out some power refinement training, so she left the sacrificial site temporarily and hasn't come back yet."
"Then we can only rely on ourselves. It doesn't matter if the bodies can't be found. The Demon of Fire, Disaster, is not a very powerful evil spirit. Compared to those we have dealt with in the past, it can only be considered to have some special abilities."
"Give me a few days to prepare. After I arrive at the Vesta Forest, I can directly sense it. It's just that its splitting ability is a bit tricky, so Detective, if possible, you still need to try to investigate its possible traces."
When he returned home from the doctor, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Galina was rarely not there tonight, and Vanessa did not come to visit because of the theater's performance, so under the warm yellow gas lamp light at home, only Luvia and Dorothea were waiting for Xia De to return.
It is worth mentioning that the divination work of the divination lady in autumn has basically been completed, or the data has been collected, and she only needs to write a final report and submit it.
So tonight, after Xia De returned home, Luvia mentioned in front of Dorothea that she would probably move back to the apartment next week.
The writer lady of course knew what she meant. Although everyone knew that Luvia had a special status in Xia De's heart, and she was indeed the first to start and succeed, Luvia herself didn't want to show this. Since she had already obtained it, there was no need to show it in everything, but rather maintain unity more.
Dorothea then took Luvia's hand and said:
"Luvia, actually it's not bad for you to live directly at Xia De's place in the future. I think everyone will have no objections, and it's very close to the Divination Association here. From the current situation, the information Xia De obtained from the Vesta Forest needs to be exchanged with you every day."
"I think instead of Xia De running to find you every day, it's better for you to live here directly."
The divination lady shook her head immediately:
"This won't work. This is unfair to others, and... I am with Xia De every night, you will definitely have objections; but if I live here but am not with Xia De, and can only hear your voices, I will have objections myself."
So the writer lady laughed, and she asked Xia De, who was teasing the cat and listening to their conversation on the side:
"Xia De, don't pretend not to exist over there, what is your opinion on this?"
"Luvia, before the Vesta Forest matter is over, you live here first."
Xia De said. He was of course clear about the subtle relationship between the girls. Since he provoked so many people, he naturally had to handle the family relationship well:
"Dorothea makes sense. Too many things have happened recently, and it's impossible for me to go to the Divination Association to discuss with you every day. As for you coming to find me after work every day, it's better to live here directly. Live here temporarily, as for the things at night... I will convince them to use the mute spell."
Galina doesn't like to use the mute spell to show off, Lei Qianya feels that it is more exciting, especially when Luvia is at home. Dorothea can be regarded as Lei Qianya. Xia De thinks that she is actually just using Lei Qianya as an excuse, and she also likes it very much; as for Vanessa, it seems that no one reminded her to use the mute spell, so Xia De doesn't know whether she really didn't realize it, or she doesn't like it either.
Luvia patted Xia De lightly, and said somewhat reproachfully:
"I know, then I'll stay first, but I will still move out later... I hope the colleagues in the association won't spread the gossip too much... Oh, tonight belongs to you, Dorothea, I will follow the rules of the house."
Saying that, she was about to stand up from the sofa. Since she was going to live here for a while, she could take out the astrology equipment that was temporarily put away. Although the autumn astrology activities of the academy were over, she also needed to observe the stars herself.
But the golden-haired writer lady held her hand, with a smile in her eyes:
"There are no rules in the house, let's rest together tonight."
Saying that, she also looked at Xia De:
"Our knight has become more and more powerful recently, I feel that he is hinting that we should come together."
"Dorothea, I oppose your speculation."
Xia De said immediately, putting the cat, who was used to not being able to sleep in the bedroom on Saturdays, on his lap:
"But to be honest, Luvia, I really like you lying on both sides of me to fall asleep... This is a sentence I read from 《The Scandal of Beldran》 written by Dorothea. The detective in the story said this to his friend, that writer lady, and the actress-turned-thief who appeared in that story."
Dorothea blushed. The writer lady, the heroine in 《The Hamilton Detective Stories》, was actually based on her. She didn't avoid her romantic relationship with Xia De in reality, but being mentioned about what she wrote still made her feel quite ashamed.
Then Luvia teased with a smile:
"I remember this plot, but how do I remember that after the detective in the story said this, he was slapped by the writer lady on the spot, and then until the end of the next story 《The Fall of Nolan Waterfall》, that writer was barely willing to pay attention to the detective in the story?"
"Oh, Luvia, don't say it anymore."
The golden-haired writer covering her face said immediately, and Luvia laughed even more happily:
"Xia De, you really are. I remember when I first met you, even if I leaned closer to you, you would blush... Well, Dorothea, didn't you say that some of your new skills can be tried on people other than Lei Qianya? I also want to try the method of you and Lei Qianya."
So Little Mia slept in the bedroom closet again that night. Xia De also thoughtfully hung a mute spell on the closet handle to prevent disturbing the cat's rest.
And Luvia also tried the effect of the new skills that Dorothea and Lei Qianya obtained after their space power was refined, just as she hoped. The Chosen One of Space is four-in-one. If Grace and Helen are extremely good at large-scale space manipulation because of their fierce power, then the writer and the princess are good at fine space adjustment.
The purple-eyed divination lady praised the creativity of generating "space gates" in the human body in a stable and safe way:
"If it's just between you and Lei Qianya, this can only be considered your special talent. But now, with permission, creating space gates in a third person's body at close range fully explains your talent. This can actually be considered a healing ability. Painless surgery is probably like this."
She was even more shocked and respectful of Dorothea's idea of temporarily allowing hands and feet to enter other spaces by using the principle of "opening a portal to take things from the air" to achieve "lightweight" and "simplification" of herself:
"I don't quite understand how you came up with this idea, but if the space operation on yourself can reach this point, I probably understand where your and Lei Qianya's talent lies."
"Please don't misunderstand, this is not my idea, nor is it Lei Qianya's! I know, Lei Qianya, I will explain for you—it was Lei Qianya who got the inspiration from Ajelina's book, yes, and Xia De's 《Pink Book》!"
Even though she was still being hugged by Xia De, the golden-haired girl who was sweating profusely still had to defend herself. Then, in order not to let Luvia ask "Lei Qianya confiscated those books, why did she read them carefully herself," she immediately activated her ability again.
"Oh~"
Luvia, who was lying on the side resting temporarily, covered herself:
"Dorothea!"
Then she pounced on the mischievous golden-haired girl, and the latter happened to be unable to move at all.
So, as the two girls who appeared beside Xia De earliest besides Iluna, the relationship between Luvia and Dorothea is really quite good. Xia De has been committed to maintaining the harmony of this increasingly large family, but it seems that he is not the only one who realizes the importance of family harmony.
【Then, how many people will your big family have in the end?】
"Didn't you say you wouldn't speak at a time like this?"
"She" smiled gently. "She" understands Xia De's thoughts the best. ===== CHAPTER 2715 =====
