Chapter 2839

Xia De looked at Miss Jia Lin Na, who was leaning on the pillow. The Duchess had just finished taking a bath under the service of the maids. At this time, she was wearing a nightgown with her hair scattered. Although her face was still very poor, she was not as weak as before when speaking:

"Flora, it's normal that you and your apprentice couldn't investigate it. Princess Lei Qianya, it's also a matter of course that you and Ajielina haven't heard of it. This involves a scandal of the royal family more than four hundred years ago. Even if it were me, I only heard my father talk about it."

She was very hesitant;

"Back then... simply put, at that time, the Duke of Kindel's younger brother had an affair with the Queen and was discovered. Then, under various interest exchanges, the royal family did not publicly punish the Kindel family, but the Duke's younger brother's family was expelled from Delarian, and even their traces were erased from the genealogy.

Although they left the country, this branch of Kindel never broke its connection with the country. I can't explain the things from hundreds of years ago clearly, but I suspected for a while that they were expelled and chose to settle in Creekwood Town, which is so close to Willandale City, and it might also be related to the arrangements of the Military Intelligence Agency 6."

"Are you saying that the local Kindel family has always been the country's spies?"

Princess Lei Qianya asked. The night was already deep, and the red-haired princess was also wearing a nightgown. Xia De sat beside her and could even smell the soap scent on her hair.

"Spies? No no, just doing some business, slightly influencing the railway direction near Willandale City, and then making friends with some politically frustrated people in Willandale City. How can this be called spies?"

Miss Jia Lin Na said so, and then asked Flora's apprentice again:

"I have read the materials of the Military Intelligence Agency 6. If I remember correctly, although the Kindel family has disappeared, there are still female members of the family left in the town, right?"

"Yes, Duke. Now the eldest daughter of the last generation of the Kindel family is still in the local area, and her surname is now Dupont."

Xia De remembered this:

"William Anjou came to the local area. Besides the Delin-Or restorationists and royal illegitimate children, isn't there another matter? The Gray Gloves suspect that the wife of Colonel Dupont of the Twilight Forest Outpost is a spy from the North."

Miss Bell nodded:

"Yes, it is that Colonel's wife."

"Then is the Colonel's wife really our spy?"

Ajielina asked curiously. Miss Jia Lin Na said with a smile:

"I can't answer this question for you. After all, the full secrets of the Military Intelligence Agency 6 are probably only fully known by your father. However, I am very sure that the Military Intelligence Agency 6 should not know about the Kindel family in Creekwood Town digging for dragon dung."

"Then has the Kindel family ever had ring sorcerers? I mean the local Kindel family."

Miss Jia Lin Na shook her head:

"Although Diana gave birth to Princess Lei Qianya and Ajielina, at least as far as I know, no ring sorcerers have appeared among the direct descendants of Kindel anywhere. So if they really came into contact with the supernatural, it could only be in this forest."

Xia De didn't care about whether the former Kindel family and the current Colonel Dupont's wife were spies. He just wanted to know what era that pitch-black dragon beast belonged to through this clue.

However, the night was already deep today, and Xia De didn't want to break into someone else's house in the middle of the night to ask this question, so this matter could only be dealt with tomorrow.

After asking clearly about the Kindel family, Flora left first with Miss Bell, leaving the room to Xia De and the three Cavendishes.

A full day had passed since Ajielina awakened her talent in her dream last night. Now it was time to formally say something to her.

"You all look so serious."

The little princess said softly. Miss Jia Lin Na on the bed shook her head at Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya, signaling them to speak, and the blonde girl gave this power to Xia De again.

"Regarding your talent, Ajielina, we have already told you during the day today, don't tell anyone else about this."

"I know, I will definitely not say it!"

Actually, she was embarrassed to say it.

"This talent is very unusual, but it also represents the infinite possibilities of your future. Ajielina, although you started relatively late compared to others, perhaps you will soon catch up with everyone. The path of a ring sorcerer is not easy to walk. Besides the problem of talent, we also want to remind you to learn to control the power you suddenly acquired."

Xia De reminded:

"Most ring sorcerers who lose control are those who appear to have changes in mentality and spirit after rashly acquiring power, and finally inevitably move toward madness. You performed very well this time, but you cannot put down your humility because of this."

Ajielina understood these words as "don't be proud," so she continued to nod obediently, and felt that she was starting to be unaccustomed to not having a cat on her head.

"Finally, I want to give you a gift."

Saying that, Xia De took out the water-blue gemstone he had taken from home in advance. The gemstone was placed in a brown wooden box, and it looked exceptionally luxurious as it sparkled:

"Sage-level relic 【Soul Gem】, the trophy we acquired from him when we defeated the local dead apostle Bronte. This is the most precious collection of that dead apostle who lived for more than a hundred years.

Carrying this relic on your body, at the cost of consuming soul power, can restore your own spirit and heal yourself; burying it in your body will further increase this conversion ratio, but you must not do this. And, holding the gemstone can ensure the independence and integrity of your own soul, immune to many abnormal soul effects.

As long as you pay attention not to over-consume your own soul power, this is a very excellent recovery accessory."

Xia De said and was about to hand the box to the little princess who was looking forward to it, but his wrist was grabbed by Princess Lei Qianya;

"Wait a minute, Xia De, giving this to Ajielina was not in the things we discussed in advance. Some time ago, when you wanted to give this to her, didn't I say that Sage-level relics are too dangerous for Ajielina now? The 【Arrow Enemy】 you gave her during the Green Lake incident to immunize against bullet effects is enough for her to protect herself."

Saying that, she also looked at her aunt, hoping to get her support, but the witch on the bed just showed an expression of being unable to help.

"But Ajielina didn't awaken her talent some time ago, and we didn't know her future wasn't it?"

Xia De said looking at those emerald eyes, and Princess Lei Qianya looked at him for several seconds before letting go of her hand, saying in a very gentle tone:

"Whatever you say."

Then she said to her sister in a very serious tone:

"Ajielina, if there is no necessary occasion, don't wear this relic casually. I will explain the consequences of Sage-level relic containment loss to you in detail later."

Ajielina continued to nod quickly, thinking in her heart that this should count as a gift Xia De took the initiative to give her, so after Aimiya returned safely, she must show off to the pointed-eared elf.

The dragon beast and the Kindel family matter didn't make Xia De think too much, and Ajielina's problem was not imminent. When he rested that night, what he was most worried about was still Aimiya, who went to the past.

"I don't know how Aimiya is doing."

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he was still thinking of the scene of Aimiya sitting by the bonfire in the darkness, shivering with her hands holding her legs, instead of sitting in a bright school classroom. That scene was very much like the Ash Valley-Different Tree Academy, so this dream undoubtedly came from his memory and anxiety.

"Vanessa also said a few days ago that you had nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night. Is the pressure too great recently?"

The red hair on the pillow moved a few times, and Miss Jia Lin Na on the left gently held him. Her soul was injured, so she naturally couldn't do anything with Xia De during her recuperation, but she is now "seriously ill in bed," so Xia De stayed here to accompany her tonight. Just didn't expect that, instead, it was the red-haired witch accompanying Xia De:

"The secret of this woodland is about to be completely revealed by you. What are you still worried about now?"

"Not worried about the things here, but worried about Aimiya... I'll go to the kitchen to get a cup of tea."

"I'll let Tifa go, she sleeps very lightly."

"It's fine, don't disturb Tifa, I'll be back soon."

Xia De kissed her on the face, so the Duchess made a very cute sound, and only then did she let go of her hand and let Xia De leave.

There are resident girls on the Radiant Messenger who take turns on duty, and the kitchen naturally has maids working twenty-four hours a day. After Xia De got a cup of tea, he didn't go back immediately, but stood on the deck and watched the late autumn night view of Yulun Lake for a while.

The Milky Way hangs in the night sky, but it is also reflected in the water. Around the great lake is a black forest sea that cannot be seen to the edge, and this kind of scenery can only be seen in good weather. The outsider knows that what he is really worried about is what almost everyone agrees on, that he needs to make a choice at the end of this story.

"Besides divinity, do I have any other means?"

He stood on the deck and asked himself toward the moon.

【Middle Ring Ascension Language.】

"She" answered softly.

"Yes, Middle Ring Ascension Language—the shadow of the silver moon points to the final direction. If I am the shadow of the silver moon, then what is the final direction?"

Under the moonlight, his shadow swayed slightly with a very small amplitude. He felt again as if he had been hugged from behind, but this time he didn't look back and just felt that gentleness.

At the entrance of the cabin, Luweiya, who also woke up and wanted to go to the kitchen, looked at Xia De's slightly desolate figure at the end of the deck. Her shadow behind her had long hair fluttering, and there was a sorrowful sigh in her ear, not knowing from whom.

So the owl, who was on duty tonight and standing on the ship's mast, shook its body and shook the material notebook out of its feathers, and then wrote on the notebook in front of it with its will:

【He stands in the night watching the scenery,

The girl watching the scenery watches him in the night,

The moonlit night is his beautiful dream,

He is the tea of her sorrow tonight.】
