Chapter 2737: Astrology and Land Occupation

"Where to go?"

Lu Lu Weiya pointed upward casually:

"Of course, go to the roof of your house. If someone sees it, just say we are chatting while watching the stars."

She waved at Xia De, signaling Xia De to act:

"Speaking of which, I haven't watched the stars with you on the roof yet. Xia De, is it comfortable to sit on your roof?"

Xia De could answer this question; he could even say which area of the roof was the most comfortable and sheltered from the wind when lying down. Of course, that was something that could only be done in dreams, and in the real world, Xia De still preferred to sit on the roof with Lu Lu Weiya and watch the stars... provided that the air tonight was not too bad.

So early Tuesday morning, when Xia De appeared at the Accordion Hotel with a sword, he brought good news to the two ladies:

"There is progress on the demon matter, and it is a big progress. Last night Lu Lu Weiya conducted a very successful divination..."

The grand scene of the entire starry sky being moved surfaced briefly in his mind, but it was as if the whole world hadn't noticed it except for the two people on the roof at that time:

"She helped locate the positions of the remaining two fragments of the demon, and my friend who is very good at dealing with demons also said he would come over Wednesday night, which is tomorrow night. In this way, the demon matter will end tomorrow, and then it will be Emilia's matter."

The two ladies who wanted to greet Xia De looked at each other, somewhat unable to believe it:

"Tell me in detail, where is the demon?"

Xia De pulled out the sword in his hand and shook it around, confirming there was no problem before opening his mouth:

"Speaking of which, our analysis last night was actually reasonable. I mean about the demon trying to ignite the entire continent. It has lurked in the Vesta Woodland for these three hundred years and has indeed done a lot of things.

Do you remember the reasons why Prince William Anru came here? The illegitimate child of the royal family was only the most important reason. In fact, he was also responsible for investigating the Delin O'er restorationists."

"Dringor Restorationists" refers to the exiled forces of the descendants of the "Kingdom of Dringor," which was the last kingdom annexed when the Kingdom of Carins joined the entire southern territory together:

"We didn't care about this before and just treated it as a fun story, but in fact... well, one of the demon's split bodies is hiding among that group of Delin O'er restorationists, and it is now in the Vesta Woodland."

Lu Lu Weiya's divination did not directly point out the other party's identity; she just said that a little investigation would make it clear who that was. The other party trying to ignite the entire continent would definitely not be a simple tea lady.

Jia Lin Na's expression became a little serious;

"Then there is another one? It wouldn't have disguised itself as a noble and mixed into Willandale, would it?"

"No, no, no, the church wouldn't let such a thing happen. In fact, I think the demon using the woodland as its base is also because it is closest to the capital, but not enough to immediately attract the church's attention."

He thanked Miss Bell for the teacup:

"The last demon clone is in the depths of the forest. Lu Lu Weiya's explanation for this is quite obscure:

It combined its quarter core with the power of this violent and disorderly woodland, becoming a forest disaster almost like a natural phenomenon. The burning trees discovered by hermits in the forest are the embodiment of its power. The demon's power is recovering, and the fire is completely out of control, wanting to show off its power."

Xia De finally summarized:

"My use of the power of sin locally is just an inducement for the long-lurking Fire Demon to appear. In fact, the demon itself also wants to unfold its many actions in this time period.

The entire Old Continent is now like a powder keg. It put a part of itself in the Kang De family, using the so-called treasure of the Hoy family to influence Willandale;

It put a part of itself among the Delin O'er restorationists, trying to create more disasters by inciting contradictions;

It put a part of itself in the depths of the forest, trying to use the power of this woodland to recover and strengthen itself;

The last one is the one trapped in the deserted village. The hunter from a hundred years ago sealed it. I think this greatly delayed its recovery speed, otherwise the situation we are about to face would be more complicated than it is now."

"Involving political forces, we have to be careful when dealing with them."

Jia Lin Na reminded, and Xia De nodded:

"But what I'm worried about is not this. I'm worried about the one in the depths of the forest that Lu Lu Weiya mentioned. Lu Lu Weiya told me that it is the craziest but also the most powerful split body of that demon.

And she saw some pictures that were hard to explain during divination. The general meaning is that the demon's forest fire incarnation accepted some kind of power in the woodland, and thus possessed extremely special status and power in this forest."

In his mind, the scene of standing on the roof with Lu Lu Weiya last night, watching her reach out as if she could directly touch the starry sky, appeared again.

The red-haired girl questioned:

"This is not right, is it? Although those ancient evil spirits are terrifying, from the knowledge I have learned, they will not easily touch other powers. Or rather, they are quite resistant to any power other than evil spirit demons. They are enemies with almost all life."

Xia De couldn't explain this clearly either:

"Lu Lu Weiya said that the thing that gave the demon power is very, very strong, and also very, very ancient. After she used the starry sky for divination, she finally used divination cards to try divination, and the result pointed to this."

He pulled a book out of his pocket, which was "Ximu Town and the World Tree" bought at the charity auction:

"This book records a lot of ambiguous content, which is the same as what Professor Yuk Wood said. The third section of the book records an ancient Ximu Town legend. I won't read it out. The meaning is roughly:

The giant tree in the forest is arched by symbols of many natural forces, earth, water veins, fierce fire, and wild wind. The nameless scholar who wrote this book believes that this represents the enlightenment of the most primitive nature worship, and also symbolizes the establishment of a nature worship system centered on giant tree worship.

But Lu Lu Weiya believes that this may also represent that the remains of the World Tree scattered locally really may have shared some of their own power with other monsters entrenched in the forest. Although it is not necessarily only four, and it does not necessarily correspond to earth, wind, water, and fire, the demon's split body should be one of them."

The speculation and subjective assumptions contained in this judgment were too large. Even if Lu Lu Weiya was a diviner, the two ladies still couldn't believe it. But at least this provided a new investigation direction. If Lu Lu Weiya's divination results could be proven with evidence, the remaining things would be very simple.

The investigation of the Delin O'er restorationists was relatively simple. They didn't have many people locally in the first place. By contacting Margaret and then reading the investigation data of the Gray Gloves, every suspect could be completely excluded.

As for the so-called demon that had almost become a natural phenomenon in the woodland, Xia De didn't want to contact it personally to avoid being detected by the other party.

"But if you don't contact it, how do you determine the existence of the other party?"

Jia Lin Na asked in confusion, and Xia De turned to look out the window:

"Wait a moment... well, here it is. Miss Bell, can you trouble you to go downstairs to pick someone up?"

So the young witch apprentice pushed the door and went out, and soon, she brought back the beautiful and moving blonde opera actress. Vanessa Benanice looked curiously at the three people in the room, and then waved at them:

"Good morning, Jia Lin Na; good morning, Miss Danister."

The Earth Witch asked with a smile, and Xia De asked:

"Emilia has already taken you to perform that 'Time Proof' ritual, right?"

"Of course, and she doesn't admit that she is Emilia. Look at this."

She fiddled with the hourglass pendant on her robe. In addition to the name carved on the tree, this kind of artifact related to time was also one of the "proofs" that could ensure she would not be affected by the twisted tree hole:

"Okay, Xia De, when do we start sensing the earth? Although it is very convenient to come from the space maze, I promised Dorothy to see the script she wrote in the afternoon, so it is best to end before noon."

She smiled and asked the Death Great Witch who had already stood up:

"I really hope to have lunch here with Jia Lin Na. Except for the rescue last time, I haven't been to the Vesta Woodland for a long time, but I still remember that the mushrooms here in autumn are very delicious."

"Vanessa, why are you here? The Speaker said that the matter here is temporarily fully responsible by me."

The gray-black-haired witch said so, but everyone knew what she meant.

"The Speaker naturally said so, but when Xia De's idea and the Speaker's idea conflicted, I chose Xia De's idea, so I was invited by Xia De to survey the earth—Xia De, see you at noon."

Vanessa waved her hand:

"But don't worry, I will leave soon after dealing with this matter. There is still only one witch here... But do I need to remind you? With the 'Time Proof' ritual, everyone will arrive here by this weekend at the latest, so Jia Lin Na, cherish this last time."

The powers of the ancient gods exist in overlapping parts. Xia De had learned this many times before. And "Infinite Tree Father" and "Earth Mother God" theoretically both have the power of "nature," but their focuses are different.

Plus "Infinite Tree Father" is famous as the God of Time, so the ancient god of nature usually refers to "Earth Mother God."

Therefore, for a 13th-tier Earth Witch, the forest is also her home field. After Lu Lu Weiya's divination ended last night, she suggested Xia De ask Vanessa for help, letting this 13th-tier Great Witch determine whether there was a powerful abnormal individual related to fire in the forest by sensing the earth and nature. ===== CHAPTER 2738 =====
