Chapter 2733: Grandma Qishala

"I mean, you just entered death with me on the boat, didn't you gain any insights?"

Xia De asked with a smile. Jia Lin Na knew he must have asked this on purpose as soon as she saw it:

"Insights? I also have some insights."

Mentioning this topic, she became dejected again, her hands pressed on the boat, and her gaze involuntarily looked at the surrounding fog:

"Looking at Sister Daifulin's appearance, it wouldn't be strange if she had already promoted to the 13th ring the next time we see her. But I don't have this talent; even if I wasn't cursed, the 11th tier is already my limit. I can feel it myself."

She didn't shy away from discussing this issue:

"Just now I did feel the possibility of a breakthrough, I mean from the 11th tier to the 12th tier, but this is obviously still too far away. Not to mention compared to Vanessa, who is already at the 13th tier..."

Xia De noticed that she clearly curled her lips; this meant she was unconvinced:

"Even Megan, Audrey, Jia Lin Na, Xi Wei, and Bella, who are at the 12th tier, I can't compare to, let alone the ancient demigod witch emperors you know.

So, I even envy the Emilia you mentioned; she can go to ancient times to study, which is obviously very helpful for her own power improvement. And I can only continue to be trapped at the 11th tier. If I'm lucky, maybe I can barely reach the 12th tier before Charlotte takes over my seat."

Xia De smiled and looked at her while confirming that the route guided by the golden thread was not wrong:

"Don't say such discouraging words. When I met Jia Lin Na, she also said that the 11th tier was her limit. Hasn't she broken through now?"

"So you want to say that witches need to be intimate with you to break through the limit?"

After asking, she felt that this way of asking was like blaming Xia De, so she explained again:

"Do you have a way to help us break through the limit?"

"Of course I don't, although it's true that many people's breakthroughs have to do with me. I always come into contact with various magical things; maybe some things can let you get a breakthrough. Just like today, maybe the opportunity is tomorrow."

"You really know how to talk."

Jia Lin Na sighed. Seeing that although the shadows of the forest had appeared in the surrounding fog, it was obviously going to take a while to return to reality, she stood up on the boat and walked toward Xia De:

"I'm tired of sitting. I want to try now if it's really necessary to be intimate with you to break through the limit."

For a moment, her tone of voice reminded Xia De of Lei Qianya, who was in Tobesk at this time:

"I'm steering the boat."

"Young knight, don't think I can't see it; returning is much simpler than actively opening up a route. Come on, don't dodge. Kiss me again. I can do what Jia Lin Na and the others can do... Kissing is indeed very interesting."

When the owl grabbed the silver cat and flew into the third-floor window of the Accordion Hotel that evening, it was already very late. The two cats jumped down from the windowsill together and turned into human forms, so the red-haired girl who had put down her book glanced at Xia De and reminded:

"Xia De, the lipstick mark on your face hasn't been wiped off yet."

"Don't try to fool me; I won't be fooled again after being fooled once."

Although he said so, Xia De still wiped his face with his hand. Jia Lin Na, who was on the side, handed her coat to her apprentice and asked with a pout when she sat on the sofa:

"Doctor Shi Nai De, what do you mean by this?"

"It's just very strange; you clearly wiped lipstick before you left, why is the lipstick gone when you came back?"

The red-haired girl answered with a smile. In fact, she knew that she naturally had opinions about this in her heart. After all, she let Xia De and Jia Lin Na act together to investigate the demon, not to make Xia De's emotional life more complicated:

"So how was the harvest of the two busy people today? Nothing big happened in the city, is there any news outside the city?"

There was indeed news outside the city. In addition to the "Ghost of Resentment" sealed by a relic in Gregory Village, the two who had bid farewell to the nun went to the herbal company's warehouse to investigate, and then really found the boxes that had been moved away from the ruins of the deserted village:

"Those boxes had been placed in the deserted village for a long time and were also stained with the subtle burnt smell of the village. The boxes contained antiques and artworks, which were consistent with the sources of those we found in the Hoy Manor; they were all things that had traveled from three hundred years ago."

Xia De didn't sit down, but leaned against the window after closing it:

"Jia Lin Na channeled a corpse buried under the warehouse and knew that those antiques were finally taken away by Chief Kang De."

"Therefore, the correct sequence is: the demon or other people related to the demon obtained the antiques from three hundred years ago, placed the antiques in that almost absolutely safe deserted village, then the herbal company people moved the antiques away, and finally the antiques fell into the hands of Chief Kang De."

"So it's normal that Chief Kang De didn't have time to be cursed, because it wasn't the 'treasure' of the Hoy family that he obtained by traveling through time at all."

Jia Lin Na nodded, leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa:

"If the source of the wealth that Chief Kang De used to bribe the nobles of Willandale really came from antiques traded with demons, then the demon's true intention is very terrifying. It influenced the nobles of the capital through Chief Kang De. If it hadn't been discovered this time, I even believe its ultimate goal was to influence this country."

"After all, letting the flames of war burn the entire continent is more in line with their style than burning down a manor."

"I am actually very suspicious that if we continue to investigate, we will find that the demon is actually already fueling this upcoming war. Of course, I also admit that even without its fueling, the war will definitely come."

Since the demon had been lurking so close to the capital for so long, Xia De didn't believe that the current situation had nothing to do with it. If he thought about it this way, it seemed that things had become very terrifying:

"My friend said that this demon can currently only split itself into four parts. Now that two have been confirmed, half remains."

"I have already agreed with Jia Lin Na to let her contact Miss Sylvia tonight and use Margaret's power to investigate whether anyone among the Willandale nobles who are close to Chief Kang De has any abnormalities."

After all, no one had ever said that the demon's clones could only stay in the Vesta Woodland:

"As for the remaining investigation clues in the local area, there are not many. Our current focus is still on Emilia's matter. The War of the Chosen, ah..."

"The Academy has already notified me that a channel will be opened in about half an hour, allowing me to return to the Academy library to talk to Emilia again. The Academy is also very worried about this girl. Xia De, shall we go together?"

Xia De nodded.

Xia De didn't know what means St. Byrons used to open the space gate. He just jumped into the bathtub in her room holding hands with Miss Danister, and after a moment of falling, his feet landed steadily on the familiar floor of the Academy library.

The library was extremely quiet. The huge astrolabe rotated slowly on the ceiling with the color of the starry sky, and golden candlesticks floated above the gaps between the bookshelves. The current location was exactly the "office area" of Miss Danister in the center of the library, and footsteps of students walking between the bookshelves could be heard in the distance.

Seeing that they had arrived smoothly, the lady who used illusion to make herself look like she had returned to normal age let go of Xia De's hand and expressed greetings to the old elf waiting on the sofa:

"Grandma Qishala, why are you here?"

The elderly elf was wearing a green old-fashioned dress, and Emilia, wearing the Academy uniform, stood beside her somewhat uneasily. Even without using "Echoes of the Past," Xia De knew that before they appeared, Emilia was being reprimanded by her elder.

However, Emilia's spirit looked very good, and she even blinked at Xia De when she made eye contact with him.

And that elf old grandma, whose face was covered with wrinkles and whose ears were sharper than Emilia's, also stood up leaning on her cane, looking at the two who had just appeared with a smile on her face:

"Good evening, Danister."

"For such a big thing, of course I have to accompany little Emilia. This child has never been worry-free since she was a child. I remember when her parents brought her to visit the library in the sixth grade, her crying sound accidentally triggered the library's sound alarm, almost causing the library to close early that day... Counting the time, that was over fifty years ago."

"Yes, at that time my teacher was even younger than I am now."

Miss Danister also said with a smile, while Emilia on the side lowered her head, as if she wanted to become an ant and disappear here immediately.

Although it was the first time Xia De saw her, he knew this "Grandma Qishala." Emilia had mentioned her; she was the oldest elf in the Moon Creek Clan. Although she looked like she would fall if the wind blew, she had a genuine 12th-ring level.

Time accumulates knowledge, and time resonance enlightens. Therefore, if they really fought, the Great Witches who had just entered the 12th tier that Xia De knew might not be able to beat her.

And the family concept of the elves of the Moon Creek Clan was relatively weak compared to humans. They usually took the clan as a large collective. Therefore, this "Grandma Qishala," who looked very kind, could be considered Emilia's most important and oldest elder.

Miss Danister didn't expect to see this old man who didn't visit often. She was just about to introduce Xia De to her, but the old elf said with a smile again:

"Is this young gentleman you?"

"Sorry, what?"

Xia De asked politely, and Emilia raised her head all of a sudden. She wanted to introduce Xia De and the old elf to each other, but the old elf said with a smile again:

"What a young, vibrant sapling. The verdant light and the soul that seems to be able to support this world, I haven't seen it for many, many years... The last time was when I saw it during the sacrifice when I was young." ===== CHAPTER 2734 =====
