Chapter 2739: Fifth Era 3733 - The Last Lesson
"Vesta City is too close to Willandale, and our agents are not easy to intervene in things there. It's just that current intelligence shows that they are carrying out a plan against the Anru royal family, but what exactly it is is not known."
Director Anluosi handed the briefcase he brought to Xia De. Inside were the data of Mrs. Shatara and Baron Wayne that Xia De wanted to find. Their life stories could only be investigated to the part after they became adults, and the information mastered by Military Intelligence 6 this time was not more than the Gray Gloves.
"There is also some intelligence that cannot be written on paper."
Director Anluosi lowered his voice again and said:
"It can be basically confirmed that there are ring sorcerers among the Delin O'er restorationists. We don't know who the other party is specifically yet, but it must also be a core figure. This is a very serious violation, but it's a pity that we haven't mastered the evidence that can be reported to the church."
Xia De was not very surprised by this. In the current chaotic situation, these organizations that wanted to do "big things" could not fail to consider the power of the supernatural, but some people were very cautious, while some people were accelerating their own destruction:
"Speaking of which, Director, what have you been doing recently? Are you still busy with the Moon Bay matter?"
He asked while continuing to stroke the cat on his lap, and a smile appeared on Director Anluosi's face. It seemed that the work was progressing very smoothly:
"Yes, after this summer, we have established quite a few connections with the seven major families of Moon Bay. Especially the Belindell family, who now nominally dominates the city council. Looking at their meaning, in the upcoming war, they want Moon Bay to become a transshipment and safe haven for trade between the two countries.
This idea is good. If the two countries strictly prohibit trade in the coming winter, then many people will need a channel to maintain contact. Detouring to the Island Kingdom has various risks, and Moon Bay in the west of the Old Continent is the best choice.
It's just that with this, while Moon Bay is making a fortune, it is also inevitably disturbed by spies from both countries and other groups. Moreover, the Anjou royal family is likely to be very dissatisfied with them. Within Carins, Moon Bay City has always been viewed as a merchant city that could commit treason at any time. If the seven great families want to make war profits, they have more to consider than just expanding the docks."
This counts as gains and losses. And the turning of the Belindell family was naturally because of Xia De. Xia De obtained the legal right to rule Moon Bay after the Battle of Moon Bay because of the blessing of the fourth son of the ancient god of light, and he gave this legal right to that countess.
The local people of Moon Bay originally had the idea of seeking independence, so Miss Belindell completely made up her mind not to immediately take sides in the war between the two countries.
As for whether she could really find a balance between the North and South regions and let the City of Wealth, Moon Bay, become a transshipment port in the upcoming disputes of the Old Continent, that would depend on her own means and the means of the remaining six major families.
However, although the information provided by Director Anluosi was not much, at least he provided Xia De with a new identity, giving him a reason to visit that Baron Wayne. That was also one of the identities of the Military Intelligence 6 agents, an underground businessman engaged in smuggling near the Vesta Woodland.
This person had never appeared in public, but he was quite famous locally. Xia De only needed to take the documents given by Director Anluosi to find the local agent responsible for operating this identity, and the other party would find a way to arrange for Xia De to meet Baron Wayne.
Many things that are inconvenient for ring sorcerers to do will be simpler if changed to the channels of ordinary people. In this way, Xia De could confirm who the last split body of the demon was on Wednesday. By the time the doctor arrived tomorrow night, no matter what that ancient evil spirit wanted to do, it was destined to only become history.
Director Anluosi didn't stay too long at St. Deran Square No. 6. This gentleman was a very busy person. When Xia De went downstairs to see him off, he said he wanted to take advantage of the King not resting to see the King and report the situation.
And when Xia De returned to the second floor holding Mia, Lu Lu Weiya and Jia Lin Na had already come down from the third floor, with Tifa following behind them, while the other maid ladies went to take care of the fireplace or went to the kitchen to clean up.
Director Anluosi probably knew that Miss Jia Lin Na was here. After all, the shoes in the shoe cabinet on the first floor were not hidden. But he would not point this out at any time, which would not be good for anyone.
Jia Lin Na covered her mouth and yawned very elegantly:
"Is the matter today finally finished? Xia De, I said you don't have to be so nervous. When we all go to the Vesta Woodland in a few days, there will be people to help deal with various things. Now it seems that only Jia Lin Na is really not enough. I think her ability is not even as good as Bella's."
"Don't say that. The Belindell family has operated Moon Bay for thousands of years, but Jia Lin Na doesn't have much power in the Vesta Woodland."
Xia De said so, and then saw the Duchess smile as expected:
"Lu Lu Weiya, look, I guessed he would say that. It seems that the owl still didn't escape his palm in the end."
The purple-eyed girl also smiled:
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, it's time to rest. Xia De, didn't you say you have important things to do tomorrow morning when we had dinner?"
"Yes, tomorrow is Wednesday, and the new time key can be opened again."
Xia De was full of interest in this:
"Seeing that the matter in the Vesta Woodland is heading toward a climax, I have a premonition that this time key will definitely bring me important power or clues. The last key let me see the God of Ferrymen, know the method of ferrying, and therefore saw Chloe. The next key, maybe..."
"I think you are looking forward to seeing Miss Feilianna again."
The Duchess teased, so Xia De pretended to be somewhat unhappy:
"Jia Lin Na, do you have any opinions about me tonight?"
So the witch was even more interested:
"Of course I have opinions, so knight, do you want to punish the disobedient witch?"
She asked with a smile, and then the new play of "Punishing the Witch" was staged at home that night. This caused most of the maid ladies to fail to sleep well. When Tifa helped Jia Lin Na comb her hair on Wednesday morning, she reminded:
"Miss, you still have a hickey on your neck."
So the witch raised her slender neck and looked in the mirror, and was quite satisfied:
"It was left deliberately, just go see Lei Qianya like this in a while."
"Miss, you and Princess Lei Qianya..."
"Tifa, this is what you don't understand. Lei Qianya and I don't have any fundamental contradictions, but annoying her has become a pleasure necessary for my life."
The Duchess in a good mood said, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror:
"Looking at Lei Qianya's appearance, she probably thinks so too. This is the way for us to express a friendly relationship between aunt and grandniece. I think this is very good."
But the maid lady thought that Lei Qianya was really very angry with her master most of the time.
Thanks to the need for time keys to open those twisted tree holes in the Vesta Woodland recently, Miss Danister had prepared quite a few spare time keys, so Xia De didn't have to prepare keys for this morning's journey specifically.
However, the time to use the key was until after eight o'clock, so he still enjoyed breakfast with the ladies at home, and after sending them away, he took the key he was going to use to the door of the study on the second floor.
At this time, Little Mia, who was full, was already standing on the back of the sofa waiting to see how Xia De would arrange it today. At this time, seeing Xia De walking to the door with the key, it knew his idea.
"Meow~"
"Stay at home obediently and wait for me to come back. If there is no problem this time, I will take you to play next time."
Although this cat has many shortcomings, at least it is obedient enough. Seeing that Xia De really didn't mean to take it with him, it squatted on the sofa obediently and watched Xia De insert the key into the keyhole. Xia De took a deep breath, knowing that he could temporarily forget the many troubles in reality:
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."

【Outsider, you have stepped into the "Corridor of Time".】
【Message from the ancient god "Infinite Tree Father":】
【Winter, Fifth Era 3733, Southern Continent, Ash Valley.】
【Event: The Last Lesson of the "Alien Tree Academy".】
【Duration: 30 minutes (1/3).】
"3733?"
He in the fog recalled carefully:
"This belongs to the middle of the Fifth Era. Looking back, 705 years ago in 3028, I sent Fiona out of 【Eternal Night City】; looking forward, it will be 527 years later that I can reach 【Gravel Sand Sea】 in 4260, and meet the God of Mist and Grandma Siamonode in the Temple of the Sun God."
This means that unless Xia De encounters a god like the "God of Ferrymen" who can send people through time, he shouldn't meet any acquaintances:
"The currently accepted statement is that the later the time in the Fifth Era, the more powerful the civilization of the witches. The middle of the Fifth Era is the transition period of civilization, somewhat similar to the steam age of the Sixth Era now, but the changes are more and deeper. So there are also the most witch academies in this period... Alien Tree Academy, the name sounds like some kind of school. Ash Valley, the last lesson, um... continue."
【You have obtained additional information.】
【The figure of the Infinite Tree Father watches you.】
【The ancient god of time gives you a test.】
【Assist the "Lord of Black Robes" to complete the last lesson.】
【Infinite Tree Father will give you a reward: a piece of real information - an additional core spirit rune.】
"What?"
Xia De in the fog was startled, and then laughed:
"The doctor and I are both ring sorcerers with two core spirit runes. He wants to add a new core spirit rune at the high ring to form a brand new sublimation language. I am actually facing the same problem. I was originally considering whether to continue using 【Time and Space】 or 【Silver Moon】 for the sublimation language at the high ring. Now is the Tree Father hinting that I can have a third choice?"
In fact, Xia De originally thought about continuing to use 【Silver Moon】 to connect the sublimation language at the high ring, but if there was really another choice, he would naturally be happier. ===== CHAPTER 2740 =====
