Chapter 2804

Xia De did not pay much attention to Vanessa's small gesture. After rubbing the ring to activate its effect, the skin on Vanessa's right arm indeed began to recover rapidly.

Afterward, the elf girl from the side took out a topical herbal medicine from her cloak and applied it to Vanessa's right arm. After Xia De used "Breath of Time" to accelerate it by a month, the witch's skin was completely restored.

"This kind of time acceleration effect cannot be completely offset even by this ring, so in the future, try not to let witches without strong time resistance confront that dragon."

The elf girl concluded at last. Among those present, only Xia De, the elf, and Miss Eilisse could be said to have "strong" time resistance. The Blue Dragon girl's time resistance came from her race itself; although she should not be considered a dragon but rather a "natural elf born from the sea," she still possessed the characteristic that the older she grew, the stronger her power became.

As for Luvia, that was not time resistance, but rather being rejected by any time effects due to a "Time Curse."

After confirming that Vanessa was fine, Xia De stood up and looked around. Because this was the wilderness far from the city, neither the dragon beast nor the witch and the ship girl had many qualms when they started fighting earlier.

The ship girl's massive cannon fire had left the earth devastated, but Vanessa's constant manipulation of the earth and gravity was the reason for the permanent change in the terrain of this area. As for the dragon's breath and the mist of time, the damage to the area was actually not that great, but in the end, they had failed to keep it there.

"That dragon is strange."

This was Vanessa's judgment:

"I don't mean the protection from time on its body; I mean that when it was flying in the sky, it was actually immune to the influence of gravity. Although it was constantly using time and the dragon beast's innate talents to fight us, I am very certain it possesses power related to the sky."

"Probably wind."

Luvia said softly behind Xia De, and at this moment, Xia De looked at Amelia again. The little elf girl had been standing worriedly by the witch's side, watching while Xia De treated Vanessa's injuries. Once Xia De finished the treatment, she wanted to thank the "sister" beside her who was dressed exactly like her, thanking her for also disguising herself as her.

At this time, Amelia saw Xia De looking at her and was still a bit confused, only then realizing that Xia De was looking behind her.

She turned her head, and it took several seconds before she said in surprise:

"Agelina? When did you arrive?"

The other ladies also looked over. The red-haired little princess, who looked quite excited, was soaked through by the rain, but she was still full of spirit. Tifa immediately used the umbrella she was holding to cover the top of her head:

"Your Highness, be careful not to catch a cold."

"It's okay, I'm fine! Amelia, I followed you three when you set off from the Yulun Lake pier on the chocobos. I was on the same chocobo as you."

She said with a smile, and meeting Xia De's gaze, she patted her own shoulder:

"Everyone can't see me, so no one will actively attack me. I've been following Amelia the whole time, and there were several times when I was the one holding her hand while we ran."

But the young elf herself had been completely unaware of this. She first thanked the little princess, and then realized:

"Your problem is solved, right? Now everyone can actually see you!"

"Only partially solved. Agelina is no longer impossible to observe, but her presence is very weak. If you aren't continuously conversing with her, you will forget after a while that she is also in the group."

Galina walked over and took her grandniece's hand, then personally cast a water-repelling spell on Agelina. The two Cavendish women with the same vibrant red hair stood together, and Xia De suddenly discovered that compared to Luvia, Agelina's appearance was clearly more like Galina's. Of course, it was only a resemblance in appearance.

"Luvia and Dorothy will be very happy for you, Agelina. What have you realized?"

The duchess asked, and the little princess replied:

"Actually, the feeling of being ignored by everyone is also quite nice. No matter what I do, I don't have to worry about being seen. That feeling is really... free."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Xia De, probably thinking of what she saw when she accidentally got lost and entered Xia De's room last night:

"So I thought, if I keep this state, it would actually be nice to occasionally let Little Mia help me reappear. Just when I thought of this, Xia De suddenly saw me directly."

"This..."

The duchess hesitated for a moment:

"You feel that disappearing completely is quite nice? Then just wait to be scolded by Luvia while she cries when you go back."

The problem with Agelina had not been completely solved, but her transition from being completely "invisible" to having a faint presence was already a very good sign—even though everyone would still subconsciously ignore her.

But at least the main goal of this operation had been achieved. Although the 13th-ring sorcerer "Clockmaker" was only scared off, the halfling assassin was suspected not to have died, and that dragon beast had even escaped directly, the first battle of the Time War had come to an end. Amelia had eliminated her first opponent—this was something only the little elf herself did not know.

This was something worth celebrating, but because of the existence of that "Great Evil," now was not the time to hold a banquet to celebrate.

The worried elf girl returned to her treehouse alone with the 【Flute of Time】. Miss Eilisse, Galina, and Xi Wei returned to the ship, while Xia De returned to the city with Luvia, Vanessa, Amelia, and the owl on his shoulder.

【And Agelina Cavendish.】

"Yes, and Agelina."

As he prepared to mount the unicorn, Xia De looked back at the little princess. She was hugging Luvia's waist, sitting sideways behind her, and for some reason, she looked very nervous. Seeing Xia De look at her, she flashed a smile at him, and there was no more worry in this smile.

This heavy rain continued until Tuesday night before it stopped completely, and this rain had also caused the outdoor temperature in the downtown area of Vista City to drop to near zero.

Even though the city had begun centralized heating, the temperature in the hotel was still not high. Mr. Bennett, the hotel owner, specifically apologized to every guest staying at the hotel for this:

"I am truly sorry. The City Hall workers are repairing the nearby steam pipes, and the temperature really can't go up right now. I am truly sorry."

Although most of the rooms on the third floor had fireplaces, so the temperature impact was not significant, Mr. Bennett still provided free evening snacks to Miss Flora Winslet, who had rented an entire floor, according to the number of rooms.

Miss Bell took the maids to follow Mr. Bennett to get the snacks, and inside Miss Danister's room, the firelight from the fireplace still illuminated the group who were still talking.

The red-haired girl and the Great Witch of Death sat together. Sitting opposite Luvia was Iluna, who had come after dinner. Xia De sat on the armrest of the sofa where Luvia was, and Amelia had moved a chair to sit beside Iluna.

The crackling sound of burning wood was a good background noise, and Xia De, stroking the cat, felt that the warmth at this moment was only slightly less than at home.

"It will probably snow in a few days, right?"

Miss Danister, holding a teacup, said:

"When I came to Vista City, I didn't expect to stay here for an entire autumn. Now that Amelia is about to set off, will the Chosen One's War end next week?"

"According to past patterns, it shouldn't be that fast."

Vanessa said with experience. It is worth mentioning that her right hand was still wearing that shimmering silver moonlight ring at this moment.

"I have already seen the candidate belonging to the church."

Iluna was also holding a teacup; she liked the atmosphere at this moment:

"That candidate is a ring sorcerer of the local 【Church of Nature】, 6th ring, male, born in the port city of Baden on the east coast of Daksenrik, not a local of Creekwood. Luvia's guess was correct. Initially, the church wanted him to go to an era when a god of nature descended to seek revelation from the god, but it failed."

"I guess the True God didn't allow them to do that."

Xia De said, and Iluna nodded immediately:

"Yes, yes. When I came here from Tobesk, the oracle gave the answer Xia De was seeking, and at the same time mentioned letting mortals rely on mortal power, rather than the power of gods, to complete the Time War.

So that gentleman named Yuri Aston was arranged by the church to choose other suitable time points. They sought help from the local 【Hermits of the Forest】 and finally settled on a holy knight who had appeared in the legends of Creekwood."

Although Iluna brought information, she could not bring the documents, so everything could only be narrated by her.

"A holy knight? There is such a person locally? Is he a hero of this era?"

Flora was very surprised. A title like "Holy Knight" could not be obtained just casually.

"Yes, that holy knight lived in the early Sixth Era, roughly between 100 and 300 years ago. I saw him once this morning. How should I put it? He is a very serious middle-aged gentleman."

Iluna recalled:

"But you can guess what the mount he brought to this era is."

"Thestral?"

"Dragon-blooded winged horse?"

"Griffin?"

"Reindeer that delivers gifts?"

The last sentence was said by the Outsider, and Iluna did not know what that meant:

"Miss Danister guessed right. It's a griffin, bigger than any griffin I've ever seen, and it's also wearing shimmering armor."

She spread her arms to gesture, revealing the "opponent's" information to Amelia. That was probably the volume of several thousand Little Mias:

"That holy knight's title is 'Blade of the Firmament,' a genuine 13th-ring, belonging to the Church of Nature at the beginning of this era. At that time, Creekwood had not yet risen. There were only a few scattered villages in the forest, and there was no church locally.

That gentleman was responsible for coming here to subdue a monster for which there is no information available today, which is why he left behind his own legends and stories. According to him, what he came here to subdue was a pure-blooded black dragon that had migrated from the East."
