Chapter 282: Ring and Cat

When leaving the city, they were interrogated many times, and it was not easy when entering the city. At the same time, because the church was checking every street in the whole city, the nearest road home could not be taken. The carriage took a big detour before bringing Xia De and the maid back to St. Deran Square in the quiet night.

The light of the gas lamp illuminated the empty square. Now the sky had darkened, and only a group of pigeons were stopping on the square, probably wondering why no one was feeding them today.

Miss Tifa Servit did not leave the carriage, and Xia De went upstairs to get the fang.

The gas lamp cover at home probably needed cleaning, and the light on the stairs was a bit dim, but for an outsider, this was the fire of home.

After going upstairs, he saw that Miss Beiya had already come:

"Oh, Xia De! Good evening!"

She sat on the sofa holding a teacup, waving her hand happily to greet Xia De, and there was a bottle of red wine on the coffee table in front of her. Xia De hadn't woken up when she left, so she was naturally very happy to see him safe and sound now.

"Good evening."

Xia De, who returned home, was also very happy. He picked up the orange cat that ran over, and then told Miss Beiya and Luweiya, who was standing by the window looking at the carriage below, about the vampire's teeth, then took the relic and turned to go downstairs holding the cat.

Returning to the carriage, the maid just glanced at the fang Xia De put in the paper bag, then put it aside, very relieved about Xia De's credibility.

Xia De, who was anxious to go home, wanted to say goodbye, but was called by the maid again.

She brushed the broken hair by her ear and blinked at Xia De:

"Mr. Hamilton, I want to thank you again on behalf of Miss."

"No need to thank... what do you mean?"

Xia De looked at the black-haired maid, not understanding the intention of this abrupt sentence.

The latter was a bit embarrassed:

"These words, I as a servant originally didn't have the qualification to say. The council has been coveting the secrets mastered by 【Blood Spirit School】. You probably can't imagine the value of that vampire's corpse and this fang. Miss is in a bad state today, so I want to express my gratitude to you. Mr. Hamilton, you did very well."

"Don't thank me, Miss Servit, Miss Galina and I have said before, this is a fair trade."

Xia De said, smelling the fragrance on the maid again.

"Perhaps it's not just a trade, Mr. Hamilton. After this incident, Miss will probably treat you as a close person. You have shown this value."

"Then... I am honored?"

He didn't know how to answer, so he could only say so.

The maid close at hand showed a gentle smile:

"Actually, I also appreciate people like you. You look out of place in this world, but sitting in front of me, you are so real. If I didn't intend to follow Miss to become a witch, I would probably want to give you a kiss now. Mr. Hamilton, people like you are actually very rare."

"Is that so? Then... do you want to say I am a good person?"

Xia De asked hesitantly. The maid hesitated for a moment, made a forward-leaning posture, but finally retracted:

"Good people don't live long, I don't hope you are a purely good person."

"Don't worry, I am not that kind of person."

"Then, goodbye, Mr. Hamilton. Oh, don't forget this."

She handed the handwritten old book "Complete Collection of Ancient Delarian Fairy Tales" to Xia De. This was obtained by Xia De from the auction:

"This book has been in my hands these days, I have to admit, your eye for things is very good."

"Goodbye, Miss Servit... actually I have always been curious, what kind of perfume do you use? It really smells good."

Xia De knew this question was very impolite, but still asked it. The black-haired maid was a bit surprised, but immediately smiled:

"You can smell it, is that so? Only very few people can smell this perfume. This is blended by Miss according to the ancient potion formula circulating in the council. Although it is perfume, the production process is a potion."

"Does the potion have a name?"

Xia De was very curious. The maid hesitated for a while before giving an answer:

"Witch's scent."

Even for the Duchess, it was not very possible to take out 1200 pounds of cash at once without preparation. After all, Miss Galina did not predict in advance that Xia De could take out the vampire's corpse.

So, Miss Galina gave Xia De a draft, which could be cashed directly at the Delarian Kingdom Bank.

When Xia De returned upstairs holding the coquettish cat, the two ladies were also very satisfied with the large income. The three planned to divide the 1200 pounds, of course not equally. Because it was Xia De who defeated the vampire, Xia De took 500 pounds, and the two ladies each took 350 pounds. Xia De would go to the bank to get the money.

After discussing the vampire's fang, they started to organize dinner. Because they were still under martial law, they could not go out to eat even if they had a large income.

Fortunately, both young ladies living alone could cook, and the three sat together to enjoy dinner. Of course, no one forgot the cute Mia cat.

Their relationship was very special, not friends, and not lovers for the time being. In the words of the purple-eyed diviner, fate had linked the three together. Just like the adventurer squad in ancient stories, and like good friends who experienced magical adventures in fairy tales:

"Luweiya, diviners really like to use the word fate."

Xia De at the dining table said. There were red wine glasses in front of the three, which were brought by Miss Beiya when she returned in the evening to celebrate the victory.

The brown-haired female Ringed Shushi raised her eyebrows at the term Xia De used.

Miss Beiya rushed bravely to the third floor last night. Although the impact on the Evil God was minimal, her identity as a Chosen One was exposed to the church because of this.

During the day today, Miss Beiya accepted the church's questioning and answered many questions about the awakening of power according to the line of thinking designed by Miss An Na Te long ago. But just like Miss Galina's attitude, the awakened Chosen One was not important, what was important were those Chosen Ones who had not yet awakened.

There were thirteen Chosen Ones in total. No matter what that door finally meant, it was important to win over as many Chosen Ones as possible to one's own side.

Therefore, besides the Dawn Church giving Miss Beiya full attention, other churches were actually more concerned about the way the Chosen One awakened.

Next, Miss Beiya might briefly go to the Dawn Church Vatican, but she would still remain in the Tobeisk diocese afterward and continue her current life. After all, no matter how special the Chosen One was, she was currently only a Second-Ring Ringed Shushi...

"Third-Ring, during the day, the church opened a batch of books to me, and then I was promoted."

Miss Beiya said with a smile. In this way, Xia De, who was Second-Ring, was still the one with the lowest level.

And besides those books, according to Miss Beiya, the Vatican also had other rewards and training plans in preparation. As long as she didn't die, she would definitely be able to be promoted to Thirteen-Ring. The young lady had very high investment value.

After finishing dinner, the three returned to the living room and continued to talk about things on the sofa.

The topic finally came to the white-robed god last night. Miss Beiya asked the same question as Miss An Na Te:

"Xia De, I only care about one thing, other things don't matter at all—are you human?"

"Definitely human."

Xia De nodded affirmatively, and the young lady felt relieved. Compared with the curious female diviner, Miss Beiya didn't care much. Knowing that Xia De was human, and knowing that the maze and god-summoning were related to him, was enough.

Of course, Xia De still didn't tell anyone that the god and the saint were actually him, and he was not just acting as a vessel. The "Time Key" was used by him to explain everything. Regarding his true uniqueness, he would not tell anyone until the day he became a god.

"But in any case, Xia De, you saved everyone."

Miss Beiya said. Under the light of the gas lamp in the living room, her smile was really good-looking.

"But my deeds will be known to no one."

He felt a little regret about this, otherwise even if everyone in the city gave him one shilling, he wouldn't be short of money for decades.

After discussing last night's events, it finally came to the link of dividing the harvest in the ruins. Those letters and books could be shared, but the relics could not be cut open.

Originally, six relics were harvested in the ruins, but the magic eye was taken away by the Evil God, leaving only five. Now the fang was sold to Miss Galina, leaving only four.

"No, it is indeed five, look at this."

Xia De took out the ring box. The ladies also recognized the pebble ring inside, but they all showed expressions of disgust. They didn't have the hobby of becoming men:

"You went to the charity banquet before breaking into the ruins just for this? Since it was given to you by that lady, then you keep it yourself."

Luweiya had guessed that Miss Jia Lin Na Cavendesh was a witch, but Miss Beiyasi knew nothing of this. She appeared somewhat worried—not about the origin of the ring, but about Xia De, so she kept urging him:

"Xia De, unless it's a last resort, you must not use this casually... I don't want my companion to become a guy who is neither man nor woman."

"Of course, after a while when the limelight subsides, I will sell it."

The ring face looked like pebble material, but the ring was still metal. Under the luster of the gas lamp, the metal ring seemed to be shining. This strange halo attracted the cat that was originally lying on the coffee table.

"Meow~"

Standing up to look at Xia De, under the gaze of the three, Mia flicked her tail and arrived beside the ring. First, she lowered her head to sniff it, and after confirming it wasn't edible, she curled her tail and actually let the ring slip onto the tip of her tail.

"Hmm?"

Xia De was startled and wanted to hold it, but was easily dodged by Mia.

"Meow~"

The orange cat flicked its tail and jumped onto the sofa to lie down. It curled up into a cat ball, letting its tail sway in front of it. Looking at the tail with the ring, it seemed very interested. This cat found a new toy again.

【Transformation Ring】 could automatically adapt to the size of different fingers. Now it was also suitable for being put on the cat's tail. But because the cat couldn't recite the incantation, there was no need to worry about the ring taking effect. It was just that the ring couldn't be left with Little Mia for a long time. After all, the whisper element of the 【Relic】 would have an impact on intelligent life.

But taking it out occasionally for the cat to play with was no problem.

Grabbing Mia, Xia De took the ring off its tail and put it back into the ring box.

"Does the relic 【Transformation Ring】 have any effect on animals?"

Miss Beiya, who saw this scene, asked the diviner on the side softly. The latter shook her head:

"There is no record of this, after all, this ring has never encountered an animal that can recite incantations." ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
