Chapter 2747: The Secret of the Green Dragon and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's Return

~10 min read 1,930 words

The god stood in the shadows of the old corridor, but She did not hide in the darkness because of this. After all, the god Herself had a soft light.

Xia De bowed to Her:

"Hello. So, if I want to try to let Yin Yi Yi Lu Na use the Chosen One's balance power, plus my miracle, to let her return to the time she belongs to, is there actually a risk?"

The black-haired lady smiled and nodded. She didn't make Xia De too embarrassed:

"Leave her book behind, and then you hold her hand, and you can leave this era with her.

It's just that she is different from you. Her mission here is not yet completed. Next time you come, you must return with her. And the time point she returns to is the next second after you leave, while the time point you return to is still decided by the Tree Father."

This meant that Xia De could leave with Yin Yi Yi Lu Na this time, and they would also use the key together next week. But for the three girls by the fire, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na just disappeared instantly and then returned instantly, while Xia De would have to go through an incalculable long time to reappear.

"That would be great. As long as I can go back. Thank you for your help. I was worried that if I disappeared for too long, everyone in the future would worry about me."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, hiding behind Xia De, poked her head out to express her gratitude. She looked very restrained when facing this god. The god smiled and nodded at her, then turned and walked into the depths of the corridor, and Her figure soon disappeared.

Since Yin Yi Yi Lu Na also had a way to leave, Xia De's time-travel adventure this time truly came to an end.

Although that book could not be taken away, the materials Yin Yi Yi Lu Na needed for "teaching" could be guessed and prepared by herself after returning to the Sixth Era. The green dragon witch, Miss Mei Zi, and Miss Bi Si Te all listed a list for Xia De—although Xia De learned things from the werewolf girl, she obviously still wanted to teach more.

The list of the dragon witch was relatively simple. After all, her book was "Delicious Black Tea and Dessert Making." Although this was also a classic recording ancient techniques and secret methods, the learning difficulty was obviously much lower than the other three books.

Therefore, Miss Mei Zi was not confident when handing the list to Xia De:

"I only browsed through 'Blessing of Books' roughly and cannot be sure that I have listed everything needed. Mr. Hamilton, I should be able to finish reading this book by the time you appear next time. Can I give you a new list then?"

"Of course, I'm not just coming once."

Xia De nodded. He didn't believe he could handle the lessons of the remaining three in the next time. At this time, white mist had appeared around him. Calculating the time, this adventure was about to end, so Xia De solemnly collected the three slips of paper:

"When I'm not here, you can also try to teach each other and make progress together, but it's best not to see that god alone. I'm worried that there are other dangers in this castle."

This was actually very strange, because his level was actually the lowest, even Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was now at the ninth ring.

"Don't worry, we don't have the guts either."

The werewolf girl said cautiously, and Miss Wei Er De, who had dragon wings on her back, also nodded.

So Xia De didn't say anything more. After holding Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's hand and sitting by the fire again, he disappeared with her in the twisting light.

But soon, with the twisting of the air again, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who had changed her clothes and looked in quite good spirits, reappeared. She had a strong sense of time fragmentation at this time. Even without time talent, one could see that there was a long time between her and the her who had just left.

"Ah, it's different from what Xia De said. I returned directly to the fire, and didn't appear in the dangerous place like the valley like him!"

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na said in surprise, and then remembered to greet her friends. The three witches by the fire who watched "a living person change" also greeted her.

This strange phenomenon also made the four discuss for a while, but they didn't come to any conclusion.

The glowing ashes all over the sky continued to fall on the castle of the academy. In the soft crackling sound of the campfire, the sound of conversation gradually became low until it disappeared. Without Xia De here, they seemed to have lost the desire to speak. Only when Xia De was here did the time here seem to flow.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na lowered her head and wanted to look at her "Radiant Sun." At this time, she noticed that the green dragon girl was tidying up the tea set used "a week ago," so she suddenly asked:

"Miss Wei Er De, speaking of which, I remember you are the only one among us who attends the Witch Academy. Which academy are you from?"

So the green dragon girl said quite proudly:

"Saint Byron's Witch Academy!"

It was 3733 in the Fifth Era. More than 700 years had passed since Xia De first met Miss Feilian and Miss Ou Lan Nuo De in the Thousand Tree Forest, and Saint Byron's had long since become a witch academy famous throughout the material world.

"That's great. I tried to take the Saint Byron's exam back then, but unfortunately I didn't pass, so I thought about traveling for a few years before looking for other schools."

The werewolf girl said with envy, so the green dragon girl said modestly again:

"Actually, I'm not very powerful, at least not as powerful as you. I was specially admitted, actually because... I am better at living room cleaning, black tea brewing, and dessert making, such maid work..."

She had never taken the initiative to mention this to the three before, mainly because she was embarrassed:

"At that time, my teacher said she needed to find some maids to help with work. I originally thought the academy was recruiting maids, but I didn't expect to be given student status after taking the job..."

Seeing her say this, the others also shared other secrets about themselves, so the atmosphere by the fire became lively again, but soon this liveliness became silent again. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na felt it very clearly: whether Xia De was there or not, this space-time really became very different.

But what she didn't know was that the green dragon girl shared these stories not because she completely trusted them, but because she had another secret that couldn't be told—

She actually didn't belong to this space-time either.

(Little Mia is running...)

Late autumn, 1854, Wednesday, the 15th day of the Month of Withered Leaves.

Walking out of the study door at home, Xia De looked at the cat lying on the sofa, then turned to look behind him. Behind the open study door was an empty study. Because the study curtains were open, the morning sun piercing through the morning mist could shine in. Xia De could even see the specks of dust floating above the desk.

"Didn't Yin Yi Yi Lu Na come back with me? Then what time point did she return to?"

Thinking this, there was a knock-knock-knock sound from downstairs.

Xia De took the cat downstairs to see. After opening the door, the hustle and bustle of the morning in St. Deran Square immediately entered the house, and the eighteen-year-old brown-haired girl immediately hugged him:

"Xia De!"

This appearance made Mr. Smith, the neighbor next door who had just returned from walking the dog, shake his head constantly.

Xia De welcomed Yin Yi Yi Lu Na in. She looked really excited, because she even said "Good morning" to Little Mia on the high stairs, but the impolite cat just yawned, flicked its tail, and jumped down the stairs again, running toward the second floor.

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, when did you come back? I didn't see you when I turned around just now, and I thought I failed."

Xia De held her hand and was also very happy. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na explained with a smile:

"I was sent to the Fifth Era by that robe last Friday. Only half an hour passed when I came back, but the old Keepers of Secrets in the church were almost scared crazy.

I explained the effect of this robe at the time, but I also explained that I must go back as a characteristic of the robe. I didn't say anything about gods."

Returning to the correct time point on Friday, and actually I had already returned to Tobesk last Sunday, but I remembered you said you used the key on Wednesday morning, so to prevent causing a time paradox, I didn't dare to come to you after returning to the local area... I didn't even see Luweiya, just wrote to tell her I was back, but couldn't tell you."

So Miss Diviner had always known that Yin Yi Yi Lu Na had returned, but didn't mention a word. She was a person good at keeping secrets.

"You did the right thing. You can't be too cautious about things involving time travel."

Xia De said with a smile, leading Yin Yi Yi Lu Na to the second floor:

"Since you are back, did the church tell you when to go to the Vista Forest? The witches have shared the 'Proof of Time' ritual with the church, and your side should also be making large-scale mobilization preparations, right?"

"Of course, but the church's reserve of 【Youthful Leaves】 is not enough. Currently, they are making those expensive 'Time Cicada' divine art items as substitutes. So although the first batch of support will arrive this week, the real main force might arrive later next week.

As the first batch of reinforcements, I will arrive at Vista Forest this weekend. This time I will still take a steam airship, which will be very fast. The specific departure time has not been set yet. I will come again tonight. Luweiya should be at home, right?"

"Of course, she has been living with me until the matter of the eighth Chosen One is over."

Xia De nodded and poured tea for Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, but asked curiously:

"From the information I got, the production of divine art items like 'Time Cicada' requires the help of the power of gods related to time. Which Old God's sect did the Orthodox Church find?"

"Why look for an Old God's sect?"

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na asked him curiously:

"The Orthodox God—Mr. Dawn, although known as the 'God of Light and Shadow,' actually has powers related to time.

According to the Dawn Church, the alternation of light and shadow gave birth to the dawn symbolizing hope, which also means the alternation of time... Xia De, aren't you a believer of Mr. Dawn? How come you don't even know this?"

"This..."

Seeing Xia De speechless, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na laughed happily again. ===== CHAPTER 2748 =====
