Chapter 2777

After writing the last letter and putting the last period, Dorothy put down the fountain pen in her hand and gently rubbed her right hand with her left hand under the desk lamp.

The lights were on in the study of No. 6 St. Deran Square, and outside the window was the night view of the city shrouded in smoke. This was the most common night view in Tobesk in late autumn; after all, Tobesk had also started heating.

"A good story, although demons and such definitely cannot be written into the book, the final twist is really too interesting."

The writer lady looked very satisfied at the story Xia De told that she had recorded, and she planned to adapt this story about greed into a new story divided into upper, middle, and lower chapters.

And Luweiya, who was sitting on the chair against the wall listening to the story, was not concerned with what lesson the story itself brought to people:

"So what about that trapdoor? This is the fifth tree hole you've mastered, right?"

"Yes, but the fourth one, which was that coffin, was destroyed, so this is actually the fourth one. I dismantled that trapdoor from Hoy Manor and temporarily placed it with the elf in the forest, letting her help look after it for the time being. When the witches arrive on the weekend, I'll let Miss Elessa put it on the ship to look after."

Thinking of that ship girl, Xia De, who was sitting on the chair outside the desk, couldn't help but reveal a smile:

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a long time. I really miss her."

The Duchess sitting on the chair under the window then asked Luweiya with a smile:

"Does he really like girls with tails more than human girls? I heard there is a kind of tail-like decoration that can be worn like a belt. Do you need me to bring one to try next time?"

"Galina, your focus is too strange."

Xia De said, took Little Mia off his lap and placed it on the desk. The cat turned around in place and lay down again with a plop:

"The demon matter is over. To be honest, I still quite like this ending. Everyone who made a mistake was punished, and that kind of black humor is enough to warn anyone who still wants to cooperate with demons."

Tifa walked in with a tea tray and placed it beside Xia De. Xia De and the black-haired maid lady looked at each other. Although the latter didn't show anything, Xia De still felt he saw the smile deep in her beautiful eyes:

"Tomorrow is Friday, and then it's the weekend. Flora asked me to ask you, Galina, are you staying on the ship or in the city afterward? If you stay in the city, she needs to arrange it in advance."

The Duchess didn't answer immediately, but looked at Luweiya. Luweiya thought for a while:

"Miss Elessa's Glorious Messenger currently can only be parked in the lake outside the city, so it will be quite convenient in the city. But considering safety issues, the Glorious Messenger is safer... Are Miss Winslet and Miss Dannister continuing to live in the hotel afterward, or moving to the ship to live with us?"

"Staying at the Accordion Hotel. The hotel owner, the Bennett family, still has some problems. Staying there can continue to focus on them. I know other girls can do this, but Flora and Miss Dannister clearly live there habitually, and Miss Dannister said she doesn't want to be discovered that she is so deeply involved with the witches."

Xia De answered, and Luweiya nodded:

"Then book some rooms at the Accordion Hotel in advance. Isn't that hotel four stories? It's best to be able to rent a whole floor or half a floor. The Glorious Messenger is the base camp and won't change, but more people need to be stationed in the city."

Afterward, she asked Dorothy again:

"Are you going with us on the weekend?"

"Of course, Raxia is staying behind for now. After I hand over the manuscript for next month to the editor tomorrow, there will be nothing left to do."

The blonde girl behind the desk said, and Luweiya asked Xia De again:

"Are all the witches coming this time?"

"Megan and Audrey will be a bit later; they are still with Adele—I mean Miss Isabella. Miss Belindell still has some things to deal with in Moon Bay. You know, after the Battle of Moon Bay, the control of the other six families over Moon Bay has declined sharply. Nowadays, Miss Belindell has almost become the king there.

Cassandra, Vanessa, Galina, and Miss Aurora will all arrive on the weekend. Miss Aurora was originally with Miss Elessa; they will come together to pick people up at our place. The characteristic that the ship can perform spatial movement in any water body is very easy to use.

Oh, speaking of which, Miss Sylvia will also be later; she is helping Margaret deal with some things in Willandale. However, they are closest to the Vesta woods. If you need her, Miss Sylvia can arrive at any time."

That is to say, the eight great witches who know Xia De's identity will all go to the Vesta woods to help this time.

Luweiya nodded to show she understood:

"The church and academy teams are also arriving around the weekend. This time, the association actually doesn't want to send people to assist, but in the end, they were persuaded by the church and sent more than twenty diviners from Willandale to help.

The Prophet Association in the Willandale area is similar in scale and number of people to our Tobesk area, and they are both the largest branches after the association headquarters. This time, it can be considered that the elite diviners of Willandale have been transferred."

"Is your association worried about something?"

Galina asked, and Luweiya also couldn't say:

"I heard that the association's high-level members once divined the Vesta woods, and then saw a very terrible future, so they believe that even if things go very smoothly this time, they will encounter unimaginable danger."

"The wreckage of the World Tree?"

Dorothy also asked curiously, but Luweiya shook her head:

"I don't know much either, but according to my guess, it should be like this. Oh, Xia De, speaking of which, you remember the 【Fate Pedestal】, right?"

"Of course I remember, that is an Unknowable-level relic used for divination. That was what I saw in the market of 【Black Fog Camp】 (1803). I remember that at that time, you took this intelligence and went to the Prophet Association to exchange for a great merit. Speaking of which, that was during the Green Lake period, that was still the spring of 1854... Wait, did you really find it?"

Xia De was very surprised, and the purple-eyed girl shook her head:

"Of course it won't be that easy. But through the guidance of the believers of the Ancient God—'Golden Master', the association had an important harvest when searching for that relic. The intelligence about the Vesta woods was obtained at that time."

"Although Luweiya is here, I still want to say that sometimes diviners know more, but instead make themselves timid when doing things."

The red-haired witch couldn't help but say on the side. Dorothy couldn't help but laugh, and Luweiya didn't oppose this sentence:

"In short, while the Glorious Messenger hasn't arrived yet, everyone should pack their luggage these few days. Didn't Galina say that the water area near Tobesk cannot let that ship appear, so we have to take a half-hour train to Rhine City in the west of Tobesk first?"

"Don't worry, the tickets have already been prepared. Everyone will set off together then. Xia De, you don't need to see us off."

The witch waved her hand at Xia De. She was actually looking forward to going to the music city in the south. It wasn't that she was looking forward to the scenery there, but she was looking forward to meeting Flora. The confrontation with that "owl" would definitely be quite interesting.

The family chatted in the study until ten o'clock that night before preparing to rest. In fact, Xia De originally planned to wash up at nine-thirty, but Galina, Dorothy, and Luweiya all sat on the chairs without moving, looking like they really wanted to chat.

And when it was ten o'clock, Xia De suddenly realized something, so he coughed lightly and let go of the hand touching the hair on Little Mia's back:

"It's not early, time to rest."

Three pairs of eyes all looked at Xia De. Although the three were all very familiar, none of them were embarrassed to mention such things actively. If there were only two people at home, it wouldn't matter, but today there were clearly a few more people, so the girls all wanted to appear reserved.

They looked like they were talking just now, but in fact, they were competing in concentration.

"Then how are you going to arrange the rooms?"

The red-haired witch's right hand played with the hair hanging on her side, winding that strand of hair around her finger. She asked this on purpose. Golden eyes looked at Xia De with some meaning that was very difficult to describe.

Xia De looked at their expressions:

"Since we are at home, naturally we should rest in the master bedroom. Does this still need to be said?"

The girls all laughed, so everyone went to wash up separately. Of course, the number of bathrooms in the house was sufficient. Xia De, as a male, washed up relatively quickly, so when he changed into pajamas and came to the bedroom, Galina and the others hadn't come out yet.

"What are you thinking about?"

Footsteps came, and Tifa walked into the room and asked Xia De, who was looking at the furnishings in the bedroom.

"I was thinking, does this bed need to be changed to a larger one... Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia De, who accidentally spoke his true thoughts, immediately added. The black-haired maid chief smiled reservedly, and the shallow dimples on her face were very good-looking.

She didn't say anything, just looked at Xia De with a smile. She waited for at least ten seconds before taking another step forward, and then kissed Xia De on the corner of his mouth:

"Miss and the others, at least another fifteen minutes before coming out."

As she spoke, she put her hands behind her back and stood on tiptoe slightly, bringing her face close to Xia De again. Her small nose touched Xia De's nose, and her large eyes looked at Xia De at close range:

"Master, recently~ have you been thinking about me?"

His eyes reflected her, and her eyes were all him. Seeing Xia De not speaking, the maid chief pushed lightly, letting Xia De fall onto the bed that had been tidied up by the maids without a single wrinkle, and then she, as a maid, also climbed onto the bed of her masters.

Xia De had to admit that this "stealing" game was indeed very interesting.

"Meow~"

The cat crouching on the windowsill bathing in the moonlight meowed, feeling that Xia De seemed to have forgotten it again.
